Chapter Ninety-Seven: Floating to the Surface
Lu Zhongshan and Zhuge Feng's cultivation was almost the same, even if there were highs and lows, this gap was not big, and the two men's battle did not distinguish between high and low for a while.
The two people's weapons are different, one is a sword and the other is a hammer, their fighting styles are naturally vastly different, they can be considered as two extremes.
Zhuge uses a sword, and his swordsmanship is quite good. Speaking of swordsmanship, there are many different styles, including heavy swords, soft swords, fast swords, and clever swords, among others.
Zhuge Feng's swordsmanship is biased towards the fast sword school, and his reputation as a pursuer of wind sword is due to his extremely skilled fast sword.
Zhuge Feng's one-handed quick sword is indeed exceptional. The sword light swings and forms a sword curtain, with speed that can be called extremely fast.
In the battle against Lu Sheng, Zhuge Feng's swordsmanship was incredibly swift and deadly, with each strike faster than the last, his technique razor-sharp and unmatched. Even a top-notch martial artist would find it extremely difficult to parry even one of his blows.
Lu Zhongshan's fighting style was the exact opposite of Zhuge Feng, a pair of copper hammers in his hands were as light as nothing, and he could hit wherever he pointed.
Those two bronze hammers were as big as human heads and should have been quite heavy, but in Luo Zhongshan's hands, they seemed to weigh nothing at all, swinging about with ease.
Zhuge Feng's swift sword made Lu Chongshan exhausted from responding, while Lu Chongshan's heavy hammer made Zhuge Feng dodge repeatedly, not daring to take a single blow head-on.
Dozens of kilograms of heavy hammers, paired with the effortless swing of Mount Luojia, every move and every style contains a force that is not surprising to have thousands of kilograms.
Such a heavy blow, Zhuge Feng with only one long sword, how dare he welcome it, so every time the heavy hammer falls, he will retreat for a while.
Thus, the two of them engaged in a fierce battle, and the scene that unfolded was quite strange. One person relied on their quick movements, repeatedly drawing their sword, with a flash of light from the blade almost engulfing Luo Zhongshan's figure entirely.
Suddenly, amidst the flashes of sword light, a large bronze hammer would appear, shattering the successive sword lights and striking directly at Zhuge Feng.
Every time this happens, Zhuge Feng's figure will retreat hastily, and after Luo Chongshan's hammer style is exhausted, he will take a step forward and kill again.
The two-man war could almost be said to be a repeat of the process, Zhuge Feng wanted to win with his quick sword, while Luo Chongshan wanted to use brute force, however, both men had extremely rich combat experience, so after a fierce battle for a long time, they still did not have an advantage.
After observing a battle, Zhao Ji discovered that the two men's cultivation was deep and their moves were not to be underestimated, but they didn't have any decisive or killing moves.
Of course, it's also possible that neither of them was willing to stake their lives, so during the battle, they didn't use their ultimate and killing moves.
The fierce battle lasted for nearly two quarters of an hour, and neither side could gain the upper hand. Zhuge Feng didn't want to continue fighting, so he flashed out of the battlefield, slightly panting, and said to Luo Chongshan: "Let's stop here. Our strengths are about equal, and if we don't fight to the death, it's impossible to determine a winner. So, unless I'm willing to engage in battle, you won't be able to kill me. I advise you to abandon your plan to silence me by killing me."
Since Zhuge Feng was unwilling to fight again, Luo Chongshan also did not continue to rush up. After all, what the other party said was reasonable. If they didn't risk their lives, it would be impossible to determine who won or lost. And if they risked their lives, in the end, who could survive, I'm afraid it's not certain.
However, facing Zhuge Feng's repeated "slander", the anger that had been accumulating in Luo Chongshan's heart could not be vented, making his face look gloomy, like a sky on the verge of a heavy downpour.
"Zhuge Feng, what exactly do you want to do? You're slandering me like this. Do you really want to be irreconcilable with the Luo family? I'm telling you, my patience has its limits."
In his eyes, a faint thread of blood emerged, and Luo Zhongshan gritted his teeth and said.
No wonder Luo Chongshan was so furious, Wu Kuang's name was extremely loud on the Divine Turtle Island, and the treasure he left behind would definitely attract many people's covetousness.
Once the news of the Luo family having the Wukuang Treasure spreads, the Jianghu will likely be stirred up and it's hard to predict what changes will occur. It's possible that some aristocratic families and sects will be attracted over, not to mention some wandering martial artists.
The Luo family had a place in the Four Sides City, but after all, it was just a small corner, and compared to some real aristocratic families and powerful sects, they were far behind.
At that time, the Luo family will probably face a storm, and if they are not careful, the entire family will collapse.
All sorts of possibilities flashed through Luo Zhongshan's mind in a short period of time, almost scaring him into a cold sweat. That's why Luo Zhongshan was furious and wouldn't stop until Zhuge Feng personally admitted to slandering him and cleared himself of any connection with the Wukuang Treasure.
"Hmm, looking at your situation, it doesn't seem like you're pretending, could it be that you really don't know?"
Furrowing his brow, he sized up Luo Zhongshan several times. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Zhuge Feng wavered and asked uncertainly: "Master Luo, the treasure map your daughter brought back, you really haven't seen it?"
"You're saying that Wu Kuang's treasure map is on my daughter."
Luo Zhongshan was somewhat skeptical, but suddenly his expression changed and he stared intently at Zhuge Feng, asking in a deep voice: "Last month, when you ambushed my Luo family's merchant caravan, was it because of the Wukuang Treasure?"
"Not bad."
Things have developed to this point, Zhuge Feng has also opened up and directly acknowledged it. No matter what, Wu Kuang's treasure map is something he must get a copy of.
The strong in the realm of the Way, in Zhuge Feng's eyes, are no less than divine beings. The treasure left behind by Wu Kuang, what kind of treasures are there that make him look forward to it with great excitement and heart palpitations.
"Just wait for a moment, I'll go ask Qiushui."
He tossed out a sentence and Luo Zhongshan walked back.
Zhuge Feng and Luo Zhongshan's conversation did not hide from anyone, at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Qiushui's body, even Zhao Ji was no exception.
What a martial crazy treasure, Zhao Ji was not very concerned about it. For the warriors, what is most important is nothing more than martial arts secrets, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, elixirs, divine weapons and so on.
Having the Flying Ascension Hall, Zhao Ji was not lacking in martial arts manuals at all. What he got were mostly divine skills and absolute arts. He also had a divine sword, which was the alloy soft sword.
Alloy soft sword, in that world is a rare weapon, belongs to special manufacturing, this world, I'm afraid it's impossible to create a weapon with such softness, toughness and sharpness.
As for Dan medicine, Zhao Ji was somewhat curious, but he didn't particularly care about it. Some of the medicinal materials and heavenly treasures could completely replace the effect of Dan medicine.
Zhao Ji found a valley of medicinal herbs in the Fei Sheng Peak mountain range, where many rare and precious medicinal materials grew. Some could enhance cultivation, while others could be used to concoct medicines to cure illnesses. In this regard, they were temporarily not lacking either.
In the gaze that shot towards Luo Qiu Shui, most of them were filled with **, Zhao Ji was clear-headed, at most having a few points of curiosity.
