Eternal Saber-Chapter 336 - 57: Slaughter Unleashed

Bang! Bang!

Two loud noises came from the surroundings, and the nearest guards crashed through the windows and rushed inside.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

As the two barged in, they saw Chen Tang shoot down the Wind Mastiff with an arrow.

"Kill!"

The two guards roared angrily, holding their swords in both hands, charging towards Chen Tang.

Chen Tang didn’t even look up, casually pulling the two arrows from the Wind Mastiff’s body and putting them back in his quiver.

Each arrow was forged from metal, which was why the Wind Mastiff’s slash moments ago couldn’t cut through the feathered arrow.

Only such specially-made arrows could bring out the full power of the Flood Dragon Bow.

If given the chance, it’s best to retrieve them.

After doing all this, the two guards had just arrived close.

The blade flashed!

Chen Tang had already drawn his sword.

The two guards made no attempt to dodge, gripping their sword handles with both hands, slashing down at Chen Tang!

Clang!

The blade scraped across the metal, producing a piercing sound.

Chen Tang frowned slightly.

His two slashes were extremely fast and incredibly powerful.

With his current strength, even wearing Cyan Dragon Armor would be sliced open by his blade and knocked to the ground.

Unexpectedly, the two slashes only knocked a few pieces of armor off the guards’ chests.

The two were unharmed!

Of course, the power of Chen Tang’s two slashes was too strong.

The two guards were forced back two steps, causing their original slashes towards Chen Tang to miss.

No wonder Lady Yun and Ye Yushi said that the Elder Council’s guards were not easy to deal with.

The two guards in front of him were only Fifth Grade, but wearing custom-made armor that protected their whole bodies, making it hard to find a weak point, effectively raising their combat level by a tier!

The two guards could completely ignore the opponent’s attacks and focus on the offense.

Moreover, this customized metal armor was much better than Chen Tang expected.

Overall, it seemed a bit clumsy, but at the joint connections, like the wrists, neck, ankles, and knees, it had protective layers.

This part of the armor’s material was more flexible, with layers of folds, allowing the guards to move relatively freely.

As Chen Tang observed the two guards, they stood motionless, not advancing first.

In fact, the two were not feeling great, not entirely unharmed.

Although Chen Tang’s slash hadn’t broken through their armor, the Vast Sea Force transmitted from the blade still seeped into their bodies through the armor!

They felt a heaviness in their chests, a faint pain, a salty taste in their throats, and could only stand still to catch their breath, their eyes showing a bloodshot hue.

Chen Tang’s eyes flickered, seeing through their weakness.

Without waiting for them to counterattack, he advanced again, slashing twice more.

Chen Tang’s sword skill was too fast.

Even not in the Divine Illumination State, few at the same level could block it.

Not to mention, it was two guards, wearing armor, relatively clumsy.

Dang! Dang!

The two slashes struck the guards’ chests hard.

The weight of the strikes directly snapped the blade.

Clatter!

A sound like ocean waves came from the blade.

The two guards spewed blood wildly, flying through the air and landing heavily on the ground, letting out pained groans.

Chen Tang’s two slashes still couldn’t break through the armor on their bodies.

But the Vast Sea Force erupted, surging into their chests like a tsunami, dispersing their inner qi, and causing cracks to appear in their internal organs!

The two had suffered severe internal injuries, struggling to get up but failing multiple times.

Even if not dead, they were ruined, losing combat capability.

-----------------

On the other side, the battle was intense.

Ye Yushi and Kamigakure Yano were fighting fiercely in midair, their body techniques extremely fast, darting between rockeries, pavilions, and trees, moving like rabbits or hawks, their sword shadows interweaving in a bewildering display.

After a round of exchanges, she had deduced that Xu Ye was a Martial Artist who had cleared the Seven Meridians, with strength above hers.

Relying on pure inner qi and exquisite sword techniques, she could still spar with Xu Ye, back and forth.

But the commotion here had already alerted the guard army in the villa.

As more and more guards joined the battle, she gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Xu Ye slashed horizontally with his sword.

Ye Yushi tapped the ground with her toes, quickly retreating, her body technique graceful.

But behind her, two guards were charging in, holding long swords, their gazes icy.

One slashed at her head, the other at her waist.

In front, Xu Ye pursued relentlessly.

Ye Yushi let out a light shout, her entire figure suddenly horizontal in mid-air, uniting man and sword, the blade rippling, spinning in mid-air and drawing perfect arcs.

In an instant, it burst into a shower of light, dazzling and brilliant!

The two guards heard the sound of rain by their ears.

Clang clang clang!

The clash of sword and blade, the incessant sound of metal, like a torrential downpour, akin to large and small pearls falling on a jade plate.

The two guards stood still as Ye Yushi brushed past them.

Xu Ye followed like a shadow.

As he passed the two, his pupils contracted slightly.

Their bodies oozed bloodstains, injuries all over.

The tough armor of these guards could not withstand the sharpness of the Night Rain Sword.

Ye Yushi had just rushed out when three more sword lights came at her head-on.

Crack!

Ye Yushi slashed horizontally with her sword, the Sword Qi surged, instantly slicing through the three long swords.

But this small delay allowed Xu Ye to catch up, launching two more sinister strikes, targeting the vital points on Ye Yushi’s body.

Ye Yushi hurriedly dodged.

Rip!

Her movement was slightly slow, and Xu Ye’s blade slashed through the gray robe on Ye Yushi’s body, nearly causing injury.

At the same time, guards from both sides came in to attack.

Judging by the posture of these two guards, they were clearly Fourth Grade Martial Artists.

Ye Yushi felt the increased pressure.

She wielded her sword with one hand, defending against Xu Ye’s onslaught, while with the other, she took the Jade Flute from her waist.

The Jade Flute gently swept through the air.

Ye Yushi’s fingertips pressed upon the holes of the Jade Flute, using a special Finger Technique and Inner Qi, producing a series of strange, melodious flute sounds that went on continuously.

The guards charging forward maintained their fierce onslaught, besieging Ye Yushi.

But soon, as the flute sounds entered their ears, everyone seemed entranced, their limbs unconsciously slowing down, standing still.

Some were uncertain, others were sweating profusely, and others showed expressions of pain.

The sound of the flute seemed to possess a magical power, with the Inner Qi within them becoming hard to control.

Once they forcibly circulated their Qi, it would surge chaotically through their Meridians, showing signs of going into a demonic trance!

Moreover, their heartbeats became uncontrollably fast, as if they could explode at any moment, making them want to vomit blood from discomfort!

Some quickly retreated, moving further away from Ye Yushi, slightly alleviating the discomfort.

It wasn’t just them; even Xu Ye’s actions were slightly slower, with a pause in his Sword Skill.

Ye Yushi inwardly lamented the missed opportunity.

If it were a one-on-one duel, she might have had the chance to turn the tables on Xu Ye.

But now, she was surrounded; after just blocking the surrounding guards’ attacks and killing two, Xu Ye had already reacted.

He instantly sealed his Ear Aperture with Inner Qi, isolating the sound of the flute.

Simultaneously, Xu Ye shouted: "Fourth Grade, seal your Ear Aperture with Inner Qi; Fifth Grade, retreat from the battlefield, plug your ears, and then return!"

The Fifth Grade Martial Artists, unable to open their Ear Apertures, must use external means to plug their ears to block the flute sound.

At this moment, a dark light flashed by.

Xu Ye’s eyes twitched, unable to think clearly, reflexively swung his sword to slash!

Clang!

A metal-glowing arrow fell down.

It was Chen Tang, who had killed the Wind Mastiff and two guards, standing at a distance, pulling the Flood Dragon Bow, shooting an arrow from afar!

This left Xu Ye breaking into a cold sweat.

It was more alarming than his recent engagement with Ye Yushi!

Arrows breaking through the air should accompany abnormal sounds.

Normally, he wouldn’t have defended so hastily, nearly getting hit.

Just now, he blocked his ears with Inner Qi, avoiding the disturbance from Ye Yushi’s strange flute sound, but this came at the cost of losing his crucial hearing entirely.

Therefore, he could only rely on his sight.

Were it not for years of life-and-death combat experience and the fleeting glimpse from the corner of his eye, he might have already been shot dead by Chen Tang’s arrow!

Ye Yushi’s eyes brightened, seizing the opportunity, she attacked consecutively, with Sword Momentum as dense as rain, enveloping Xu Ye, regaining the upper hand.

"Third Grade truly is hard to kill."

Chen Tang murmured softly, but didn’t mind.

He had just attempted a shot, and if it couldn’t kill, so be it.

Chen Tang pulled the bowstring again, shooting another arrow that broke through the air, transformed into a dark light, instantly penetrating a Fourth Grade guard’s left ear, through their entire skull!

Xu Ye, relying on his Body Technique, experience, and reflexes, could dodge or block Chen Tang’s arrows.

But these guards, clad in full-body armor, were relatively clumsy and not agile enough.

Also affected by the Jade Flute Fairy’s flute sound, in Chen Tang’s eyes, they were simply living targets!

Whoosh!

Another arrow broke through the air.

A Fifth Grade guard, influenced by Ye Yushi’s flute sound, with a violently beating heart, dared not continue the attack, just to take a breath, when Chen Tang shot through his eye socket, killing him on the spot!

Even if only their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were exposed, it was already enough for Chen Tang’s Archery.

In combination with Entering the Divine State, he instantly locked on to vital points, making arrows unfailingly hit!

Chen Tang continuously changed positions, moving and maintaining distance while repeatedly shooting guards, retrieving arrows from the guard corpses for reuse.

Then he continued to draw the bowstring and shoot guards...

Before long, over a hundred guards were scattered chaotically by Chen Tang’s arrows, suffering heavy losses!

These guards, trained specially, had long since become indifferent to life and death.

But facing this one-sided massacre, even some among the guards couldn’t bear it.

The Fourth Grade guards, sealing their ears with Inner Qi to block Ye Yushi’s flute sound, could not hear the sound of arrows breaking through the air.

Plus, with Chen Tang constantly changing positions, often appearing at their side, it was simply impossible to defend against.

Later, whether Fourth Grade or Fifth Grade guards, they simply abandoned sealing their ears, choosing to stay away from Ye Yushi, to escape the range of the flute sound.

Gathering together on the periphery, everyone kept refining their formation, stayed alert.

But Ye Yushi, relying on her Body Technique, in turn, pursued them, always hovering around them.

The guards were in great pain, nearly collapsing.

They were encased in heavy armor, slow in movement, unable to escape, unable to catch up.

Being pulled back and forth like a kite by Ye Yushi and Chen Tang.

The flute sound disturbed their minds, the arrows claimed lives, the guards endured double torment!

They could only watch helplessly as their companions fell one by one, the numbers dwindling.

The entire Bamboo Forest Villa was massacred by Chen Tang and Ye Yushi, bodies lay all around, the blood flowed like a river!
