第109章 " Swordsman's Pride, Path Divided"

**109章：剑道的选择**

Lin Feng's face turned even redder as he gazed at Chenyang with a piercing gaze. "You think the true master of the sword is someone who practices the righteous path of the sword, and not someone who holds the title of sword master?" Lin Feng's tone was laced with scorn.

Chenyang's lips compressed into a thin line as he met Lin Feng's gaze. "That's right. I don't think the title of sword master is a guarantee of one's abilities or character. Anyone can hold the title, but only those who truly understand and embody the principles of the sword can be considered its true master."

Lin Feng's eyes seemed to burn with anger as he took a step closer to Chenyang. "You're saying that I, as the current sword master, am not qualified to be the true master of the sword?"

Chenyang's voice remained calm and steady. "I'm saying that your actions and decisions are not in line with the principles of the sword. You're using your power to manipulate and control others, rather than using it to protect and serve the greater good."

Lin Feng's face turned purple with rage, and he raised his hand as if to strike Chenyang. But Chenyang was not afraid. He stood his ground, his eyes locked on Lin Feng's.

"You're not the only one who can wield the sword," Chenyang said quietly. "There are others out there who are more worthy of the title. And I'm willing to take on the challenge to prove it."

Lin Feng's expression changed from anger to surprise, and then to calculation. He seemed to be weighing his options, deciding what to do next.

"I'll give you a choice," Lin Feng said finally. "Either you can come with me to the Sword Master's Council and convince them to take action against me, or you can face me in a duel to determine who is the true master of the sword."

Chenyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I accept your proposal. But I warn you, Lin Feng, I'm not going to go easy on you."

Lin Feng smiled, a cold and calculating smile. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

And with that, the two of them turned and walked away, leaving the audience in suspense as to what would happen next.

But little did they know, there were others watching from the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The stage was set for a battle that would determine the fate of the sword and the future of the sword masters.
