Chapter 256
The two of them clashed again, and the situation became more and more intense.
Ye Guhong’s sword wind was fierce, and his fierce killing moves rolled out.
Bu Shan flew around Ye Guhong, constantly attacking close to him, and his double cudgels rose and fell as fast as a shooting star.
The two fought quickly, and in an instant they had fought for more than twenty moves.
Hao Tian exclaimed, 鈥淚ndeed, heroes come from the young!鈥�
His figure swayed, and he charged at Ye Guhong.
Mie Jie angrily exclaimed, 鈥淚t’s just bullying the young by outnumbering them.
He immediately drew his Qingfeng sword from his waist and leapt to block him. The Three Tigers of Taihang were well prepared, however, and the three of them rushed out at the same time, swinging their three serrated knives in three flashes of light, blocking Mie Jie in mid-stride.
Hao Tian entered the battle group, wielding a pair of Judge’s Pens with lightning speed and extremely profound skill. The sound of the pens breaking the air crackled like firecrackers.
Ye Guhong was secretly alarmed: This person’s mastery of the writing brush is even greater than Zhu Shou’s or even Zhang Cui Shan’s!
Their martial arts skills are on par with the heads of major schools, but they have an unparalleled tacit understanding of each other. Together, their power is more than doubled.
Ye Guhong saw that things were not looking good and decisively shot out an invisible palm force. Unexpectedly, these two people were fast with their four weapons, and the shadows of their pen strokes were everywhere. Every time the palm force was released, it was immediately exploded by the opponent’s dense attacks.
For a while, there were muffled bangs, all connected together. Hao Tian laughed loudly, 鈥淎fter seeing the way you dealt with the nine Shaolin monks, if I hadn’t come up with a way to defeat your method, how would I dare to come and trouble you and your master?鈥�
Bu Shan also laughed loudly, 鈥淜id, there is no such thing as an invincible martial art in the world, and your Emei Mirage Snow Flying Cloud Palm is no exception!鈥�
Ye Guhong was shocked, but he had never thought that invisible palm power, which was like cheating, had such a shortcoming! After failing to deliver seven or eight strikes in vain, he dared not waste any more internal strength, and instead used the Yuxiao Sword Technique to defend his entire body.
The situation at the end of the disaster was more or less the same. Despite their common name, the Three Tigers of Taihang were no pushovers. Individually, they were no weaker than the wandering immortals or the camp leaders. And as they were brothers, their combined skills were on a par with the Hejian twins.
The three of them kept their feet in the Three Treasures position as they moved around, hacking away with their swords. The invisible palm power of Mie Jie was usually blown away as soon as it was used.
After more than ten moves with them, Mie Jie felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He thought to himself, 鈥淭hey really came prepared. I don’t know how much effort they put in beforehand just to deal with my Emei martial arts!鈥�
Thinking about this, his murderous intent flared up, and he said sternly, 鈥淣ever mind, if you want to come to hell, you’ll come on your own! If you want to take my Emei treasure, don’t blame me for being ruthless!鈥�
After saying this, her figure spun rapidly, parrying a few blows, and Qingfeng Sword was passed to her left hand 鈥�
and then there was a sound like a dragon’s roar, and a pool of green light hung upside down like the Milky Way. The Three Tigers of Taihang were shocked, and they jumped back together. When they looked in their hands, the three well-tempered good swords had all been broken off at the hilt.
The three men did not panic, threw the handles away, and behind them, their companions had already thrown three thick and long iron whips. Each of the three men took one in their hands. Hao Tian shouted, 鈥淓ven iron whips cannot withstand the Heavenly Sword. Change formation!鈥�
Then Hao Tian and Bu Shan both abandoned Ye Guhong and pounced on Mie Jie, while the Taihang Three Tigers roared and pounced on Ye Guhong.
The five had practiced this formation change for an unknown period of time, and it was extremely swift.
Hao Tian and Bu Shan fought against Mie Jie, attacking each other with every move. They both used strange short weapons, which were not meant for fighting. The moves were not at all similar to those of the Heavenly Sword, and the power of the Heavenly Sword could not be used at all for the time being.
After fighting with the two for a few rounds, Mie Jie understood: since they dared to come and seize the sword, they naturally knew that my sword was extremely sharp and brilliant. Such guerrilla tactics were probably premeditated to deal with my Yitian Sword!
Immediately, a proud air rushed to her heart, and she shouted with a stern voice, 鈥淗ejian Shuangsha, you have good intentions and good tactics! But do you think that I, a poor nun, can only rely on the power of the sword? Let’s see my Emei Sect’s Mie Jie Shuangsha!鈥�
After saying this, she used the Right Handed Heavenly Sceptre Sword in her right hand and the Left Handed Wind Sword in her left hand, and actually used the Sword of Annihilation and the Sword of Tribulation at the same time.
In theory, she could not fight with her left hand and right hand at the same time. If she used two sets of skills at the same time, one would be the main one and the other would be supplementary. For example, if she used the sword and the palm together, the sword technique would be the main one and the palm technique would be supplementary.
However, these two swordsmanship styles were both created by her. The Sword of Destruction is grand and open, while the Sword of Plunder is devious and vicious. In fact, they were originally complementary to each other. Using one alone is already an extraordinary skill, but using both together immediately transforms it into a brand new dual sword technique.
This double-sword swordplay is the bottom-line skill of the Jiangshi Sect. Since its creation, it has never been demonstrated in public. If it were not for the fighting style of the Hejian Shuangsha, which faintly restrained the Yitian Sword, it would have been impossible to force her to use this 鈥淒ouble-Sword Killing of the Jiangshi Sect鈥�!
When she unleashed her twin-sword killing technique, the ferocity of her killing intent surged up to the heavens. The swordplay was so exquisite and fierce that it was hard to describe in words. I’m afraid only the famous lines of the Poet Laureate, 鈥淐oming like thunder, it collects its fury; leaving like the sea, it relinquishes its light,鈥� can do it justice.
Hao Tian and Bu Shanyue became more and more alarmed as they fought, and they exclaimed in unison, 鈥淗ow can there be such a terrifying swordplay in the world!鈥�
Their martial arts skills placed the greatest emphasis on close-quarter attacks. With their profound internal strength and swift movements, even top-level experts would be at a loss for what to do when facing their attacks.
However, when the two swords of Mie Jie were unsheathed, the two sword lights were connected end to end, and they were even faster than the two men’s attacks!
In particular, the two men were afraid of the sharpness of the Heavenly Sword and did not dare to parry with weapons. Unable to stop her swordplay, they could only let her get faster and faster, and soon fell into a disadvantageous position.
On the other side, Ye Guhong changed his opponents to the Three Tigers of Taihang, and the situation improved.
These three were slightly inferior to the Hejian Twins in martial arts, but their iron rod techniques were crude and their strength was fierce. Together, they were still above Xiao Feiyang or Ye Tiangang, but their offensive and body movements were not as swift as the Twins. Ye Guhong was able to maneuver around them with ease.
In particular, the iron whip is heavy after all, and it is extremely difficult for the three to use the same intensive moves to block the invisible palm power as they did before with their swords to deal with the disaster, as they had done before.
However, these three also had a plan in place, which was to take turns to focus on Ye Guhong’s left hand. Whenever he raised his left hand, they would immediately strike in the direction of his palm, in order to counteract the palm power as soon as it came out.
However, this method has a flaw. After fighting for a while, Ye Guhong saw through the opponent’s plan and simply hit his left palm randomly without sending any palm power.
The three men did not dare to take it lightly, however, and whipped whenever they saw his palm come out. After fighting like this for a long time, Ye Guhong had no difficulty at all, but the iron whip was ultimately heavy, and the Taihang Three Tigers’ breathing gradually became heavier and heavier.
At this point, both duels had reached around 100 moves, and Mie Jie was clearly winning. He had already understood the fighting style of the Hejian Twins, and suddenly shouted, his swords swinging around to his back in an abrupt movement. Twisting his wrists, he twisted the blades together, just as Bu Shan attacked from behind. He was unable to pull back his hand in time, and his left palm was instantly cut off.
This exposed the flaws in the Twin Blades’ defense, and Jie Jie twisted his body and swung his sword to sweep at his chest. Hao Tian’s body movements had already grown old, and there was no way to avoid it. He let out a strange cry and horizontally raised a pair of iron pens to block. There was a slight sound of popping, and the pens, along with his body, broke at the same time under the leaning heaven.
Bu Shan cried out in grief, and with all his strength, he flung out the acupuncture point hammer. His body crouched down, and he used the One Finger Zen technique to quickly jab at Mie Jie’s waist. The finger wind was fierce, and it was even more powerful than the acupuncture point hammer.
Mie Jie shook his head to avoid the acupuncture point hammer, and kicked with his left foot, kicking away Bu Shan’s remaining right hand. He swung the Heaven-Dependent Sword from front to back, and Bu Shan only saw a green light like a rainbow, and then he froze in place.
In a moment, a bloody line appeared from his head to his thighs, and the two pieces of his body fell to the ground to the left and right.
Mie Jie defeated the Hejian Shuangsha, let out a howl, and rolled over to attack the Taihang Sanhu. The Taihang Sanhu were terrified, and the three of them threw their iron whips at the same time, twisted their bodies, and fled!
Really, take a leave of absence. Today, no matter how fast you hurry, you won’t make it in time.
