A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2255 - 1525: Song Mountain Annihilated!

In the end, Duanmu Huai still got his wish, eating hot pot and singing songs, listening to Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang play a piece together called "Singing and Laughing in the World".

Well, how should I put it, it was alright, after all, Duanmu Huai himself didn’t have much musical talent, just listened.

On the contrary, the group of Jianghu people listened with excitement, but this had nothing to do with Duanmu Huai.

After the banquet, Duanmu Huai left Liu Mansion — after all, he originally came to crash the feast.

Too bad there was no Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Duanmu Huai left, but this matter did not end there.

Liu Zhengfeng retired, and everyone stopped caring about Liu’s family’s affairs. They now cared more about... the Songshan Sect!

Duanmu Huai said he wants to exterminate the Songshan Sect, is it true?

The Five Mountains are connected as branches, how do the other four sects see it?

This excitement, everyone wants to join in.

And on Song Mountain, when Zuo Lengchan heard this news, his face turned pale.

He understood Fei Bin’s thought at the time; if it were the other four sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, it’s one thing to be intimidated, but the Songshan Sect cannot be. Because he is the Five Mountains Alliance Leader, if he gets scared of Duanmu Huai, needless to say, he wouldn’t be able to be the Alliance Leader anymore, and the Songshan Sect’s prestige within the Five Mountains Sword Sect would be greatly diminished.

So, Fei Bin chose to take a gamble.

The result was he lost everything.

And dragged the entire Songshan Sect down with him!

Zuo Lengchan’s first thought was to flee, to externally claim he was going into seclusion, and then run, take his disciples and run far away.

However, unfortunately, Zuo Lengchan couldn’t escape.

Because Duanmu Huai had already declared, within ten days he would annihilate Songshan. If Zuo Lengchan got scared or ran, then he wouldn’t be the Five Mountains Alliance Leader, and everything he worked hard for would become nothing!

Zuo Lengchan certainly didn’t want to give up everything just like that, so he also declared, in ten days, the Songshan Sect would be waiting for Duanmu Huai!

Of course, anyone can talk big, Zuo Lengchan didn’t expect to win against the Undying Slaughter God just with words, but he couldn’t run, so eventually, Zuo Lengchan secretly contacted the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and enlisted Invincible East!

Actually, Invincible East also wanted to kill Duanmu Huai, after all, Duanmu Huai openly called Invincible East a genderless dead demon in front of the heroes of the world, which was an absolutely unbearable humiliation for Invincible East. And the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was also a powerful force, this time to thoroughly kill Duanmu Huai, Invincible East even dispatched his ten elders and twelve halls under his command, totaling thousands of people, plus Songshan Sect disciples, indeed there are tens of thousands!

Invincible East descends from Dark Wood Cliff to face off with the Five Mountains Alliance Leader Zuo Lengchan against the Undying Slaughter God!

Needless to say, when the martial artists learned of this news, they all had complex feelings, after all, the Five Mountains Sword Sect always said righteousness and evil do not coexist, yet Zuo Lengchan as the Five Mountains Alliance Leader actually teamed up with the Sun and Moon Divine Sect...

In response, some immediately reacted.

Yue Buqun denounced Zuo Lengchan for disregarding Jianghu loyalty, previously demanding to kill Liu Zhengfeng’s whole family for secretly communicating with Qu Yang, yet now he directly joined hands with Invincible East. Why not kill Zuo Lengchan’s whole family? My Huashan Sect has always acted with righteousness and sit upright, shame to be associated with someone as deceitful and fickle as Zuo Lengchan!

And Yue Buqun directly announced that from today onwards, the Huashan Sect will withdraw from the Five Mountains Alliance in protest!

As soon as this news came out, everyone praised Yue Buqun as indeed the Gentleman Sword, the true beacon of righteousness! Unlike Zuo Lengchan, who is nothing but a hypocrite speaking one way and acting another!

Little did they know after making the statement, Yue Buqun went into seclusion, ostensibly indicating he no longer cared about the Songshan Sect. In fact, in seclusion, he was praying every day, praying that Duanmu Huai would definitely take down Zuo Lengchan and Invincible East, otherwise, he’d be doomed!

If possible, Yue Buqun wouldn’t want to declare such words, but he had no choice. He had always yearned to become the Five Mountains Alliance Leader, and right now this was the best opportunity. As long as he showed clearly that he disdained Zuo Lengchan and refused to collude with the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, then the next Five Mountains Alliance Leader would be his! And he would win the hearts of the Wulin Righteous Path!

Of course, the risk was substantial, if Zuo Lengchan and Invincible East defeated Duanmu Huai, then he and the Huashan Sect would be finished!

But fortune favors the brave, and Zuo Lengchan and Invincible East haven’t seen Duanmu Huai’s strength, Yue Buqun personally witnessed it that day, although he wasn’t sure about Invincible East’s prowess, he was certain, Zuo Lengchan was definitely not Duanmu Huai’s match.

So, Yue Buqun gritted his teeth, stomped his foot.

Into the tiger’s cave to get the cubs, take the plunge!

Indeed, as he anticipated, after Yue Buqun made his statement, the name of the Gentleman Sword resounded throughout the North Martial Arts, everyone praised him as the true standard of principled righteousness!

Yes, losing one can lose, dying one can die, but the dignity of the Wulin Righteous Path cannot be lost!

If Zuo Lengchan knew what these Jianghu people were saying, he would definitely curse and say screw you, it’s not you being targeted by the Undying Slaughter God! What do you know!

But that’s how it is, most people, as long as the crisis doesn’t fall on them, act as if they’re impartial.

Actually, Zuo Lengchan had his own plans, Songshan Sect was his territory, and he had secretly designed many mechanisms. Moreover, although Duanmu Huai specifically came for him, Zuo Lengchan also noticed that Invincible East seemed to hate Duanmu Huai more than he did. So in Zuo Lengchan’s mind, when the time comes, let Invincible East and Duanmu Huai fight first, then while they’re not paying attention, initiate the mechanism, he might be able to sweep up Invincible East, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, along with the Undying Slaughter God all at once!

If it does go smoothly, then he would remain the Five Mountains Alliance Leader, even more glorious!

Needless to say, both Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun were imagining things as quite rosy.

As for the other sects among the Five Mountains, the Hengshan Sect clearly stayed out of the matter, and no one expected too much from a group of nuns. After returning to the Taishan Sect, the Tianmen Taoist went into seclusion, pretending to know nothing from the outside.

Mr. Mo from the Heng Mountain Sect continued as usual to slack off...

Soon, ten days passed.

Many martial artists gathered at the foot of Song Mountain, attempting to witness the battle firsthand. Even though Duanmu Huai’s battle in the West Martial World spread far and wide, no one actually saw how Duanmu Huai achieved it. The current challenge offered them a chance.

However, the Jianghu people were displeased because the Songshan Sect disciples had completely sealed off the mountain, preventing anyone from entering. So, they could only wait at the foot of the mountain, and some thought that once the Undying Slaughter God arrived, the Songshan Sect would have no time to care about them, and they might sneak in to watch.

One could say it was even more lively than a Wulin assembly, attracting not just people from the North Martial Arts but also some from the West Martial World. Duanmu Huai had risen to fame by stepping over them in the West Martial World, and his legendary battle was unseen, with only dead bodies left behind. This frustrated many, so some from the West Martial World came here to see what skills this Undying Slaughter God possessed.

Then, Duanmu Huai arrived.

As usual, he rode on a yak, with Wang Yuyan and Little Dragon Girl by his side. But now, the Jianghu people’s gazes upon them had changed. Initially, they merely saw the two as Duanmu Huai’s maids, but now they were revered as Goddess and Fairy.

Seeing the massive-bodied yak, everyone made way, and the yak leisurely reached the foothill. It was only then that Duanmu Huai jumped off the yak and stretched lazily.

"Oh, everyone’s here, very good."

With Duanmu Huai’s Divine Sense, he naturally perceived the situation on Song Mountain at this moment, including Zuo Lengchan, who was sitting with his eyes closed, and Invincible East, who was sitting nearby, awkwardly embroidering like a girl, acting like a Dead Demon. Around them were waiting disciples of the Songshan Sect and members of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, blocking the entire mountain path... what, do they think I’ll fight my way up like a Saint Fighter through the Twelve Halls?

But for Duanmu Huai, he had a simpler method.

With this thought, Duanmu Huai turned his head, looked at the Jianghu people watching him not far away, and waved his hand.

"Alright, step back, don’t blame me for not warning you."

"???

Though they didn’t understand what Duanmu Huai was saying, the Jianghu people obediently retreated, especially when they saw the yak carrying Wang Yuyan and Little Dragon Girl also moving back, they naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to defy Duanmu Huai’s words.

Then, they saw Duanmu Huai lift his head and gaze at the towering mountain before him.

Song Mountain.

The sacred peak among the Five Mountains, one of the famous mountains, home not only to the Songshan Sect but also Shaolin Temple.

Unfortunately, after today, they would no longer exist.

Duanmu Huai took a deep breath and clenched his right fist.

Then, he punched toward the mountain path before him!

"Boom———————!!!"

At that moment, the earth shook.

The violent tremors were akin to a magnitude nine earthquake, causing everyone around to lose their footing and fall to the ground. But the next scene left them even more shocked!

"Rumble————!!!"

Accompanying the earth’s tremors, where Duanmu Huai’s punch landed, the entire mountain split open with a massive chasm extending forward. Everything in its path collapsed, whether trees, boulders, or soil, all pouring into that Bottomless Abyss like a backflowing flood, and the entire Song Mountain, under Duanmu Huai’s single punch, was split in two!

When the dust cleared, what the crowd saw before them was a mountain split in half, the once-familiar Song Mountain now gone forever.

Zuo Lengchan hadn’t even managed to rise from his chair before he was toppled by the intense tremor, the ground beneath him cracked open, and without a chance to utter a sound, he fell into the chasm, disappearing from sight.

Invincible East lived only a moment longer before he jumped up, bursting through the roof and rushing out. But while airborne, Invincible East witnessed the entire Songshan Sect collapsing into the Abyss. Though skilled in Qinggong, he could not fly, and when he descended again, a deluge of debris, intermingled with the remnants of the Songshan Sect’s buildings and trees, engulfed him completely.

As for those disciples, they were like fish caught in a waterfall, plummeting into the chasm, never to be seen again!

The Songshan Sect was gone, as was the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.

Regardless of their martial prowess, they could not contend against the forces of nature!

Shaolin Temple was not spared either; although it didn’t vanish like the Songshan Sect, the violent tremors leveled this millennial temple—nothing could withstand this force capable of destroying everything!

Indeed, Duanmu Huai, after devastating the West Shaolin, inadvertently achieved the feat of leveling the North Shaolin as well.

But it wasn’t his fault; who told the Shaolin Temple to be on Song Mountain?

If it were on Taishan instead, wouldn’t there be fewer troubles?

When the Jianghu people came to their senses, Duanmu Huai was already sitting back on his yak, leisurely departing.

What he left them was Song Mountain, split in half by a single punch!
