41 -40 Trapped Dragon Ascends to Heaven
“It’s you.”
Sworn enemies meeting, their animosity intensified.
Speaking of Yin Yang Elder.
Had it not been for this person meddling in the affair, Yin Yang Elder would have already succeeded back at the Lin Residence.
He wouldn’t have been continually injured, pursued like a homeless pup, fleeing from east to west, and seeking refuge at Greenwood Residence to heal his injuries.
The start of it all was his own moment of carelessness.
‘To think a mere Strength-Training Martial Master could be so troublesome, his peculiar and ingenious Sword Technique is inevitably something to guard against.’
Recalling their first encounter at Lin Residence, Yin Yang Elder’s killing intent was even stronger…
Although he considered his cultivation to be two levels higher than his opponent, he became even more cautious.
When attacking, he used thirty percent of his strength, reserving seventy percent for contingencies.
The reason was quite understandable.
The way his foe had just charged from the courtyard straight into the Warm Pavilion and bisected Tao Fang, that slash was incredibly stunning.
When the blade was first drawn, it was not only silent but also didn’t reveal the slightest hint of killing intent…
Only when the blade light approached.
And the blood sprayed…
The sound of the blade, like thunder, finally rang out next to his ear.
This point was crucial.
It proved that the speed of his opponent’s blade had already surpassed the speed of sound.
Moreover, a preliminary estimate suggested that the force within the blade edge had increased by more than fifty percent.
He couldn’t help but be cautious.
Yin Yang Elder’s palms intertwined, Reality and Illusion coming into existence, Extreme Yang Fire Jin and Extreme Cold Ice Jin clashed and exploded downward at the same time…
But he discovered, to his astonishment, that Wei Dazui, who had just defected from Lin Residence, was enticed by the assailant’s blade light.
As if by reflex, he also swung his sword forward to chop.
Yin Yang Elder cursed inwardly, thinking that this bulky fellow should have known better.
At such a time, how could it be his turn to recklessly attack?
Was he courting death?
Couldn’t he see?
The assailant was extremely protective of that Ninth Miss from the Lin Residence?
The best strategy was to take a hostage, then he could advance or retreat securely, standing on invincible ground.
Years of fleeing and scheming taught Yin Yang Elder that often victory or defeat hung by a single thought.
Cultivation was not as reliable a measure as one might think.
In the perilous clashes of swords, where life and death battle, anything could happen. freewēbnoveℓ.com
…
Indeed.
Just as a trace of foreboding arose in Yin Yang Elder’s heart.
He saw the person who had burst into the room with the ferocity of a tiger descending the mountains, the broad blade in his hand suddenly disappearing from sight.
His stature shrank, and he was like a puddle of muck collapsing to the floor.
This technique was bizarre, exploiting the physical body to its utmost limits.
One moment full of vigor and might, muscles bulging, body exploding with power.
The next, he was sticking close to the ground, like a damp, slippery slug…
No, more like a cold, twisting, swiftly slithering snake hiding among the grass.
Yin Yang Elder’s icy-fiery palms collided, but his attack was already rendered ineffective.
The target was already lost.
For the first time, he truly felt the urge to learn a long-weapon style.
One strike had missed.
He didn’t dwell on it, casting a glance at Wei Dazui as if looking at a dead man, his body already half-turned, rapidly retreating towards Little Jiu Girl lying in the corner of the room.
Sure enough, Zhou Ping’an’s primary target was Wei Dazui.
As the blade swept over his head, the wind from the strike hitting his face, he was already using the Xingyi Twelve Forms’ Serpentine Body Technique combined with the Gentle Water Eight Stances’ stepping technique, snaking forward.
Using the move “Pluck the Grass to Seek the Snake” he passed under Wei Dazui’s armpit, his blade light as snow.
Blood sprayed…
The blade met slight resistance.
It had cut through flesh, major tendons, and bones, and had successfully severed Wei Dazui’s lower legs.
“Agh…”
Wei Dazui’s face twisted in pain, and he howled in madness.
That’s why not all large and seemingly powerful men are truly strong.
After both legs were severed by the blade.
This bear-like big-mouthed man could only clutch at his severed legs, howling so much that tears and snot streamed down his face.
He didn’t even know where he had thrown his Broad Blade.
At that moment, who knew if he would regret it?
Regretting betraying the Lin Residence and kidnapping Ninth Miss.
…
As for what Wei Dazui was truly thinking, Zhou Ping’an had no interest at all.
Right from the start, when he poised to strike in the courtyard, he had already determined the order of attack.
Just as Tang Lin’er had said.
Tao Fang was scheming and his Leisure Fan was evidently not ordinary, surely hiding some ingenious mechanisms…
If he did not kill this man immediately, endless variables would inevitably arise.
Therefore, Zhou Ping’an used the first slash on him.
As for the second slash, he did consider the Yin Yang Elder.
But truthfully, the old fellow’s body was sturdy, and his vitality was formidable, making him a difficult target.
If he were to engage in a stalemate with him, allowing Wei Dazui to get free and seize Little Jiu…
Then it would be his turn to face a dilemma.
Thus, the target of the second slash.
Was Wei Dazui.
For the person of Yin Yang Elder, he could only suppress the killing intent, move fleetingly but not fight, and cleverly maneuver.
The face of a Viscera-refining Martial Master had to be given.
It’s a long story.
The several people moved as swiftly as falcons and as fleetly as rabbits, together one moment and apart the next.
From Zhou Ping’an’s tiger-like lunge and serpentine moves, striking with two slashes and beheading two men, it was all within the span of a breath.
The Yin Yang Elder’s body soared like a hungry eagle pouncing on prey.
Whereas Zhou Ping’an was sliding on the ground, twisting his spine.
His body transformed from snake to dragon, his sword light emerged from the water creating waves, slashing upwards from below.
Amid the piercing shrill sound.
The gleam of the blade flickered, almost as if it had the fierce power to split the Warm Pavilion in front of him into two.
[Coiling Dragon Ascension of the Wandering Dragon Body]
Ever since Zhou Ping’an realized that his tricks and routines weren’t so useless,
Ingenious and wonderful ideas constantly emerged in his mind.
The various strange and surreal fist techniques and sword moves he had cultivated would all naturally be used.
No longer wondering whether a move could kill or defeat an enemy.
If he thought of it, he used it, following his heart.
Now employing the Dragon Form movement technique from Xingyi Twelve Forms, it was as if a python had transformed into a dragon…
The sword light carried a fierce wind, a proud and sharp aura pressing against the eyebrows.
The Yin Yang Elder cursed silently.
The hand reaching for Little Jiu could not continue grasping.
He felt a chilling sensation beneath him…
His opponent’s blade was both despicable and savage.
If he did not dodge its sharpness, not only was there the danger of losing momentum…
But he could also be split in half by this blade moving from below upward.
Today, unlike in the past, being pampered had lessened his mettle, and he naturally did not wish to risk his life.
If there was even a slight risk that it might harm his limbs or even his life,
He would rather play it safe.
After all, the Li River’s Two Fiends of the Ma family had already sensed something was amiss and were quickly approaching.
Soon, with a three-sided siege,
Even if the opponent had wings, he would not be able to fly out.
Rescuing someone would be even more impossible.
Not rescuing might be fine.
But once he attempted a rescue, holding the little girl in his arms… his agility would undoubtedly be greatly affected.
Undoubtedly, it was a death wish.
With this thought, the Yin Yang Elder forcibly exerted strength in his waist and abdomen, not only stopping his downward strike but also kicking against the wall,
His body flipped backwards, drifting away.
He had narrowly avoided Zhou Ping’an’s fiercely deadly slash of [Trapped Dragon Ascends to Heaven].
Then, he realized that Zhou Ping’an hadn’t missed as he had imagined.
Instead, dispersing the sword light, he turned the upward momentum into a forward charge.
With one hand, he picked up the little girl from the ground, broke through the window, and had already left the Warm Pavilion.
After landing, he sprung up, leaping more than ten yards away.
Meanwhile, the Yin Yang Elder’s body, still floating lightly in the air, had not yet come down.
