Eternal Saber-Chapter 264 - 48: Bloody Battle on the Long Street (Part 2)

Chapter 264: Chapter 48: Bloody Battle on the Long Street (Part 2)

Chen Tang continued to strike with his blade.

Several Cyan Dragon Guards had just rushed forward, only to be felled by Chen Tang’s ’Eternal’ cleaving them to the ground!

Despite being of the same Sixth Grade, these Cyan Dragon Guards couldn’t withstand even a single strike from Chen Tang!

Buzz!

Suddenly!

A sword hum echoed.

Chen Tang, using the Wind Listening Technique, instantly knew that a master was charging in from the slanted rear!

Someone capable of such a sword technique is likely of Fourth Grade cultivation.

The Cyan Dragon Bureau of Longpan County also has a captain!

Without even thinking, Chen Tang swiftly slashed in that direction.

With his current strength, he couldn’t face a Fourth Grade Martial Artist head-on.

But Chen Tang had already anticipated this, intending to rely on the advantage of ’Eternal’ to first break his opponent’s weapon with one strike!

"Hmm?"

Chen Tang’s blade descended, but his expression suddenly changed.

His strike met the opponent’s sword, yet no sound of clashing metal rang out. Instead, it was as if his blade had sunk into a mire, deeply trapped within.

This was a change in the power of guidance and adherence!

Chen Tang instantly thought of a move from the White Ape Swordsmanship, Wangyuan Disaster Wood.

It held a similar marvel to the opponent’s sword technique.

If Chen Tang were also Fourth Grade, there’d be no worry. He could wield his blade as a sword, using Wangyuan Disaster Wood to contend with the opponent.

But he was only Sixth Grade, with a vast power gap from Fourth Grade.

Without waiting for his opponent’s sword technique to fully unfold, Chen Tang jolted his blade, extracting ’Eternal’ from the mire.

In the fierce battle until now, Chen Tang’s sword skill had been fierce, as swift as lightning, with each strike bringing someone to the ground!

This was the first time he pulled back to evade.

And luckily, he understood the White Ape Swordsmanship, aware of the opponent’s formidable sword technique, reacting in time.

Even so, when he withdrew his blade just now, his arm was sore and numbed, his tiger mouth throbbed with pain, and ’Eternal’ nearly flew from his grasp, almost seized by the opponent!

"Oh?"

A voice of surprise came from the slanted rear.

Yue Mingshan, as a Fourth Grade Martial Artist, had once apprenticed under a famous master before joining the Cyan Dragon Bureau, advancing all the way to Captain.

This particular sword technique of his did not belong to the Cyan Dragon Bureau’s swordsmanship.

Even so, he hadn’t expected his move to return fruitless.

Having failed with one strike, Yue Mingshan attacked again, charging at Chen Tang.

"Chen Tang, you impudent wretch, dare to wreak havoc in my Longpan County, surrender your life now!"

Simultaneously, a figure clad in armor broke through the masses, wielding a long spear, shouting and thrusting towards Chen Tang!

The Commander of Longpan, Song Kuo, a Fifth Grade Martial Artist!

These two could be considered the top experts in Longpan County.

Apart from these two, numerous officials and Cyan Dragon Guards seized the opportunity to attack.

In an instant, blades and swords flashed innumerously.

Facing such a predicament, Chen Tang remained unusually calm.

The greatest threat to him was still the Fourth Grade Captain Yue Mingshan in the slanted rear.

The rest were no match for concern!

Chen Tang instantly entered the Divine Illumination State, unleashing the Vast Ambition sword skill, striking out with twelve consecutive blades!

Vast Ambition was not limited to just eight cuts.

If one’s strength and speed were sufficient, striking eighty consecutive blades was no problem either.

The essence of this move lies in being fearless, possessing the momentum and resolve to disregard life and death!

Only thus could it align with the charm and true essence of the move.

The officials and Cyan Dragon Guards who had just charged in fell one after another, their bodies strewn across the ground.

Yue Mingshan reacted extremely quickly.

Seeing a flash of blade light, he didn’t think twice, instantly withdrawing his sword and retreating, somersaulting away, narrowly evading Chen Tang’s Divine Light Slash!

"This one’s blade is so fast!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Yue Mingshan looked at his robe torn open at the chest by the blade’s edge, breaking into a cold sweat.

A Fourth Grade Martial Artist excels not only in inner power compared to Fifth Grade.

With the Fourth Grade Awakening, once the True Qi opens up the eye, nose, mouth, and ear apertures, it means one’s five senses elevate to another level, significantly increasing reaction speed!

Precisely for this reason, Yue Mingshan could evade Chen Tang’s Divine Light Slash.

Meanwhile, the long spear in Song Kuo’s hand, the Commander of Longpan, was severed by Chen Tang’s ’Eternal,’ leaving him unharmed.

This was one of the advantages of long weapons.

Of course, mainly, Chen Tang and Tan Wujiu were continuously moving towards the South Gate.

Chen Tang was concerned about Tan Wujiu being attacked from both the front and the rear, unable to strike forward with his blade.

In this fighting withdrawal, ’Eternal’ couldn’t cut into Song Kuo’s body, allowing him to escape a disaster.

The two waged a bloody battle along the long street, only a mile from the South Gate, yet advancing was exceedingly difficult!

With every few steps forward, several corpses were left in their path.

Chen Tang relied on Entering the Divine State, Wind Listening Technique, and Martial Emperor’s Blade Technique to deal with the endless stream of opponents, yet still felt a wave of pressure.

It was not only his physical strength, even his mind was greatly exhausted.

His spirit had to be tightly wound at all times; a slight slip, and he might spill blood on the street!

The situation for Tan Wujiu was even more difficult.

His realm was the highest, and if it were one-on-one combat, or even handling an attack from three Fourth Grade Captains, he could handle it with ease.

But aside from the three Fourth Grade Captains, there were also seven Guard Captains and many Cyan Dragon Guards besieging him.

Even a few Mystic Masters, who had managed to escape earlier, had turned back at this moment, standing among the crowd, using Flying Swords to continuously launch assaults on Tan Wujiu.

Tan Wujiu had already killed two of the Cyan Dragon Department Captains.

He also slew three of the seven Guard Captains.

But Chen Tang could clearly feel that Tan Wujiu’s progress was getting slower and his steps were becoming increasingly heavy.

Such an intense battle was too consuming for him.

Even in this short journey of less than a mile, Tan Wujiu had added several more wounds to his body.

One sword wound on his left rib even exposed his ghastly white rib bones!

This was exactly at the seam of the front and back armor of the Cyan Dragon Armor, injured by a Flying Sword.

As Tan Wujiu continued to fight, this wound was bleeding profusely, already soaking through his inner shirt.

His left pant leg had been stained red by blood!

Tan Wujiu remained expressionless, having fought till now without uttering a sound.

But he was clear in his heart that as the blood continued to flow, his body was growing weaker.

He couldn’t hold on much longer.

Tan Wujiu killed another person, shaking his somewhat dizzy head forcefully, and opened his eyes wide, looking at the South Gate getting closer and closer ahead.

"Almost there, almost!"

Tan Wujiu gritted his teeth and gripped the sword in his hand tighter again.

In his heart, there remained only one belief.

To get Chen Tang out of the city!

It was his account to Cai Yin.

In the midst of this fierce battle, the Cyan Dragon Sword in his hand had already lost its edge.

The blade was full of notches, now in a dire state.

A sword thrust came.

Looking at the Cyan Dragon Department Guard Captain who once served under him, Tan Wujiu swung his sword wide!

Clang!

The Cyan Dragon Sword in his hand finally gave in under the strain and broke with a reply!

Pfft!

The opponent’s sword pierced his shoulder.

Tan Wujiu seemed to feel no pain, abruptly throwing the broken sword in his hand toward the opponent.

The person quickly turned his head to dodge.

At this moment, Tan Wujiu stepped forward, allowing the opponent’s sword blade to pierce through his shoulder, using Grapple Hand to snatch away the Cyan Dragon Sword!

"Hiss!"

This Guard Captain took a deep breath. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He’d seen ruthless people before.

But never anyone so ruthless to themselves!

Tan Wujiu pulled out the Cyan Dragon Sword from his shoulder and took advantage of the opponent’s shock to pierce the man’s throat with one thrust!

"Kill!"

Commander of Longpan Song Kuo snatched a long spear from a soldier and teamed up with Yue Mingshan, attacking again from both sides!

"Humph!"

Chen Tang’s Divine Light Slash forced Yue Mingshan to retreat.

His left hand suddenly reached out, grabbing the thrusting long spear, slashed it with his sword, breaking the spear.

Then, Chen Tang hurled the broken spear towards a figure hiding among the crowd!

This person was the Mystic Master who had just wounded Tan Wujiu.

Pfft!

This Mystic Master thought he could remain unscathed by hiding in the crowd.

Unexpectedly, he had already been targeted by Chen Tang, a broken spear impaling his chest, carrying his body and nailing him to the wooden post behind!

At this moment, Tan Wujiu staggered, nearly falling.

His left leg meridian was not open, unlike his right foot which was more nimble and strong, failing to dodge in time, a sword cutting across, instantly drawing a torrent of blood!

Back-to-back with Tan Wujiu, Chen Tang could clearly feel Tan Wujiu’s condition deteriorating.

He could hardly stand, completely relying on pressing against his back, still barely holding on.

Chen Tang glanced back at the distance to the South Gate.

The two had fought through the long street, leaving just a dozen yards to the South Gate!

At this moment, Song Kuo, Yue Mingshan, and others surrounded again.

"Leave the rest to me!"

Chen Tang swiftly turned around, carrying Tan Wujiu on his back, and said in a low voice, "Cover your ears!"
