Chapter 260
Although the lama had been taught evil techniques by the corpse demon, and his body had been trained to be like a copper-skinned zombie, Ye Guhong’s fighting style had suddenly changed, and he was suddenly alarmed. He knew that if they continued fighting like this, he would definitely be made to reveal his weak points.
He let out a strange cry, trying to step up his offensive to force Ye to defend himself. However, his 鈥淗eavenly Corpse Technique鈥� had only just begun to take effect, and his hand and foot dexterity had not yet returned to normal. Ye was as agile as a cat, so how could he catch him?
In his desperation, he decisively asked for help, 鈥淢aster Chou, switch opponents!鈥�
The ugly monk scanned Ye Guhong’s face, flashing a trace of bone-chilling hatred. He nodded fiercely, and his two iron cudgels struck out like a sudden rain, forcing away Leng Gaofei and Jiaxing. He then waved his cudgel to block the arrow-like attacks of Wu Le, leaped like an eagle swooping on a mouse, and turned to kill Ye Guhong.
Ye Guhong knew that this person was highly skilled in martial arts, and he did not dare to take him lightly. He thrust out his Snake Bone Sword with a swish, and the ugly monk’s iron ruler swept down, deliberately trying to break his sword first.
Unexpectedly, Ye Guhong’s long sword suddenly bent, avoiding the iron ruler and stabbing the ugly monk’s forearm!
The ugly monk’s eyes twitched, thinking to himself, 鈥淚sn’t this the Wudang Sect’s supreme skill? How does this kid know it too?鈥�
A few years ago, when he fought Yin Liheng, he was in a dominant position, but Yin Liheng used the Soft as a Finger technique and unexpectedly stabbed him, leaving a deep impression on him.
He didn’t know that Ye Guhong had since learned Tai Chi, and his internal strength was becoming more and more comfortable to use. Unintentionally, he had discovered this ability to force the sword to become circular.
However, he had never studied the Soft Cloud Swordplay, and although he had mastered the core techniques, his swordplay was completely different from the Soft Cloud Swordplay.
Since suffering at the hands of Yin Liu Jian, the ugly monk had pondered ways to deal with this swordplay, and it came in handy now. He took advantage of the momentum of the sword, twisted his body and spun like a top, moving to Ye Guhong’s left, and attacked with both feet, hitting horizontally and stabbing vertically.
The ugly monk was wary of his curved sword, so he held back on his attack. Ye Guhong, however, had no intention of using it again. He swung his sword with all his might, sending purple energy flying in all directions. It was the Broken Whip technique from the Demon of the Sword, Yu Shu.
He had spent more than a year at Wudang Mountain, sparring with the Seven Heroes of Wudang. Yu the Third was good with the knife, Zhang the Fifth was good with the Judge’s Pen, and over time, he naturally improved greatly in the Broken Knife and Broken Whip styles.
The first style of the Broken Whip can break all the tricks of the world’s steel whips, iron whips, acupuncture needles, Judge’s Pens, crutches, Emei spears, daggers, short axes, iron plates, iron cones, and octagonal mallets, and the iron ruler is naturally included as well.
The martial arts style of the ugly monk is very similar to Xiao Feiyang’s. Both have mastered many kung fu styles and can switch between them at will and apply them with ease. Their moves are always full of flourish and they excel at the subtle changes in technique.
This style happens to be most restrained by the Sword Demon Yushu’s philosophy of 鈥渞ecognizing moves and breaking them, and being the first to strike after being the last to do so鈥�. Therefore, when these two clashed, Ugly Monk was immediately at a disadvantage. He felt that the opponent’s moves all pointed directly to the flaws and weaknesses in his own moves, and he was handicapped in the battle.
On the contrary, the lama leader was like a fish in water when he fought Leng Gaofei and the others.
His body is trained to withstand all kinds of attacks, and he is not afraid of a head-on clash with Yin Zha and Jin Suanpan. As for Leng Yuezi’s silent attacks, apart from being careful with his eyes, he just lets him shoot at will, and unleashes his full strength to fight forward, and is actually in a dominant position.
Mie Jie attaches great importance to the brotherhood among comrades. Seeing that the people of the Righteous Alliance are in danger, he is unwilling to delay any longer, shouting, 鈥淥ld constable, if you don’t retreat, don’t blame me for using lethal force.鈥�
Yan Bei’an said coldly, 鈥淚 also have a killer!鈥� After saying this, he drew his sword back and leaped to chop.
Sha Yu saw it from afar and shouted in a hurry, 鈥淭he famous skills of 鈥榊an the Divine Constable鈥� Yan Bei’an are, first, the 鈥榚nter the void鈥� swordplay, and second, the iron combat skills that can break stones! Beware, holy nun!鈥�
Before the words had finished, the two men drew their swords and swords. There was a loud clang, and half of the large sword fell to the ground.
Yan Bei’an had not yet recovered, and he swung back with the sword. He held half of the large sword in his hand, and once again he split it, leaving only a bare handle in his hand.
Mie Jie stabbed with one sword, Yan Bei’an hurriedly dodged, and Mie Jie pointed and turned his palm, the sword was swung outward, the bronze swordhead at the end of the handle hit Yan Bei’an’s 鈥淏unong point鈥� heavily, and then it continued to point downward, hitting seven or eight acupoints along the way, including Chengman, Liangmen, Guanyuan, and Taiyi. Yan Bei’an suddenly felt numbness in his upper body and froze on the spot.
Yan Bei’an gritted his teeth and shouted, 鈥淲hat kind of hero are you, bullying people with a sword?鈥�
Mie Jie didn’t sound very happy when she heard this, and she snorted, 鈥淚f I didn’t want to see how good your Iron Palm kung fu is, I would really have used my full strength and within fifty moves, I would have killed you.鈥�
In Mie Jie’s opinion, the 鈥淐atcher of Criminals鈥� was only comparable to one of the Hejian Shuangsha in terms of martial arts skill, although he was highly skilled.
However, his martial arts skills follow the path of strength and ferocity, which is much easier for Mie Jie to deal with than the Hejian Shuangsha, whose techniques are more refined and their movements swift.
After saying this, he no longer paid any attention to the Sheriff King, and leapt towards the lama leader, who, while still in mid-air, met the oncoming sword with a head-on chop.
The sword was moving so fast that the lama leader had no way to avoid it, and he shouted as he raised his arms to block the attack.
There was a loud popping sound, like tearing a silk banner or breaking a bamboo slip, and the lama was cleaved from his arms to his lower body in two.
The five members of the Righteous Alliance were shocked, and then they applauded in unison, 鈥淕ood sword! Good swordsmanship!鈥�
The ugly monk did not say a word, threw his two iron cudgels at the same time, and then rolled over and fled.
Ye Guhong dodged the cudgels and flew out the Snake Bone Sword. The ugly monk heard the wind whistling behind his head, waved his hand and smashed the Snake Bone Sword with a punch, sending it flying horizontally. His hands were also covered in blood, and the flesh was broken and the bone was exposed, but it seemed that he was completely unaware of it as he fled without looking back.
Mie Jie shouted, 鈥淭oday, I will not let this person escape!鈥�
He was about to go after him when suddenly an old man leaped out of the forest, holding a walking stick in his hand. He called out, 鈥淲ait, wait. Since you have come to the foot of Changbai Mountain, how about I be the peacemaker?鈥�
Mie Jie angrily said, 鈥淕et lost!鈥�
Although she was ruthless, she was unwilling to harm the innocent at will. Since the person who came was unknown, she did not need to use her Heavenly Sword. She just swung her palm and hit. The old man side-stepped and poked the old man’s cane straight at Mie Jie’s small arm. The technique was actually very exquisite.
Mie Jie was impatient, so he retracted his hand and shot out his palm again. The old man had to dodge again, but he didn’t know that Mie Jie had shot out an invisible palm force, which turned diagonally and hit the old man square in the chest. He immediately fell backwards in a crumpled position, and his cane flew far away in a spin.
Then another person yelled, 鈥淎h, how dare you hurt Master Sun!鈥�
In the meantime, a Taoist priest leaped out of the forest, his face full of anger. A large, golden conch shell was tied to the topknot on his head. He let out a whoosh and smashed it towards Mie Jie.
Mie Jie was furious, and slapped back with a heavy palm. The palm and fist met, and the Taoist priest let out a strange cry. He was blown backwards like fallen leaves, and landed firmly. He stared with strange eyes and cried out, 鈥淵ou’re just a woman, how can you have such a powerful palm?鈥�
Mie Jie paid no attention and was about to leap forward and strike again when Yu Panghu called out urgently from behind, 鈥淗oly nun, wait! This Sun Lao Ye from Changbai Mountain is a very good person, and this Huangluo Daoren is also a good friend. Holy nun, don’t get the wrong idea.鈥�
Mie Jie concentrated her body and looked again, but where was the figure of the bitter monk?
She couldn’t help but get annoyed and said, 鈥淭his Taoist and this old man, they came at the worst possible time. They came out to block my way when I was chasing my enemy. Could it be that they were being kind?鈥�
The old man coughed a few times, and Huangluo Daoren quickly helped him up. The old man waved his hand with a bitter smile, saying, 鈥淕oddess, it seems that those hawk claws and foreign monks can be killed as much as you like, and I will never say another word. It’s just that the monk has some difficulties and cannot be killed.鈥�
Mie Jie angrily said, 鈥淭hat guy has repeatedly caused me trouble, so how can I not kill him?鈥�
The old man hesitated, looking at the police officers and others. Mie Jie knew that this could not be heard by outsiders. He turned around, unsheathed his sword, and his body expanded, as if he had instantly turned into a dozen people. Everyone felt that their eyes were full of sword light, and the sound of miserable screams was unceasing. In a few breaths, more than 20 people were killed by him.
Everyone, except Ye Guhong, could not help but be shocked. They secretly exclaimed, 鈥淢y goodness, this nun has a heavy murderous aura!鈥�
After killing many people, there was not a single drop of blood on the Heavenly Sword. It returned to its sheath smoothly. A palm force opened Yan Bei’an’s acupressure points, and she said coldly, 鈥淚’m afraid you won’t believe what I just said. I’ll give you a joss stick’s worth of time to recover, and then you and I will fight one-on-one. If you don’t die within 50 moves, you can go wherever you like!鈥�
Suddenly, it caught fire, with no signs of it happening beforehand.
