Chapter 77 Self-Inflicted Harm, Let's See Your Best Methods!
The Spring and Autumn Period Sword Technique is unparalleled!
Xu Qingya leaped into the air, gripped the hilt of the magpie knife tightly with both hands, and raised it high. Because he raised it too high, it passed directly behind his head and hung behind his body.
At the moment the body leaps to its highest point, both hands swing the sword in a slashing motion. The body falls, the blades spin, and the body lands back on the ground, the speed of the sword light reaching its peak.
A single slash cleaves it in two, impervious to water and fire!
The sharp blade sliced through a vacuum, carving a path through the raging flames. No matter how the Fire God tried to control the fire, he was ultimately too late.
"Whoosh!"
Xu Qingya moved like an arrow, rushing towards the Fiery God through the gap, his fierce energy condensing into a powerful aura, as fierce as a tiger.
Five Tigers Severing the Gate: A Hungry Tiger Capturing a Sheep!
The blade wind locks the acupoints, following like a shadow, relentless until death!
The fierce and ruthless series of slashes aimed at the Fiery God's shoulders, collarbone, and neck, the blade's momentum like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, giving the opponent no chance to breathe.
Having reviewed Xu Qingya's file, the Fiery God knew that Xu Qingya's fighting style was extremely similar to Guan Yu's: either killing someone in three moves or engaging in a continuous hundred-move exchange of blows.
Xu Qingya is refined and gentle, seemingly a talented scholar, but his actions are more ferocious, ruthless, and violent than those of ancient beasts.
Most opponents are intimidated by Xu Qingya's fierce aura and find it difficult to exert their strength, and are defeated in just a few moves. So far, only Gu Jianhun has been able to withstand the rapid attacks and enter the protracted battle stage.
Having witnessed Zhu Xiawu's full power firsthand, the Fiery God Lord was naturally not afraid of Xu Qingya. He coldly snorted and fired two Divine Fire Crows.
"Boom! Boom!"
The blade's edge shattered the Divine Fire Crow, and two enormous fireballs exploded in mid-air, spewing out flames, smoke, and poison needles hidden within the firearms.
Xu Qingya seemed oblivious to all of this, charging headlong into the raging flames and smoke, wielding his blade in a sweeping motion, spinning like a wheel, repelling all the flames and poisonous smoke.
Suddenly, Xu Qingya's sword stance changed.
Five Tigers Severing the Gate Blade - Black Tiger Peeling Out the Heart!
This move was originally a straightforward and aggressive attack, but by using the raging flames as cover, the flash of the blade reflected the firelight, revealing a mirage.
The Fiery God Lord has studied firearms since childhood and his understanding of firearms and fire control techniques surpasses that of the Lei family patriarch. However, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot defy objective laws. When his eyes are illuminated by firelight, he will unconsciously blink.
A flash of light, a blink of an eye, and the blade is drawn.
In the blink of an eye, the Magpie Blade swept towards the lower body of the Fiery God. The Fiery God hurriedly made a move to block, but he did not expect that Xu Qingya's move was a feint. A feint is not affected by force and was easily blocked by him. The blade bounced upwards, and the blade changed from a downward slash to an upward counter-slash.
Xu Qingya lowered his wrist, unleashing his true energy. He used the true energy of the Wood element to enhance the flames, making the fire even more intense and the light even more dazzling. Amidst the flying smoke and flames, the tip of the blade emerged like a venomous snake, flashing with cold light, and pierced straight into the heart.
Others' Black Tiger Claws Out the Heart is a "fierce tiger," a domineering, hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. Xu Qingya's is a "ghost tiger," possessing both the ferocity of a tiger and the cunning of a ghost hunting. It is a killing move created on the spot.
If it weren't for the Fiery God Lord setting fires everywhere, filling the area within dozens of feet with flames, no matter how cunning Xu Qingya was, he couldn't have used this move. This can only be called—
—You reap what you sow!
"Pfft!"
The magpie blade pierced the heart of the Fiery God, and Xu Qingya twisted it with the force. With a "crack," a hole appeared in the Fiery God's chest, and then he kicked the Fiery God into the fire.
"Boom!"
The flames ignited the firearms on the Fiery God, blasting him to pieces. Generally speaking, Xu Qingya would spare the life of such a technically skilled person, at least allowing him to draw up the blueprints for making firearms.
This is the only person I absolutely cannot forgive.
Lord of Fiery Flames has another name.
His name is—Firewalker!
One of the five direct disciples of the Yuxian Gang.
When the Yuxian Gang collapsed, its leader was shot and killed by Liu Qingci, and its five disciples went their separate ways.
Kang Jinlong's whereabouts remain unknown.
Mu Qingxia, unwilling to give up wealth and honor, became Ling Tuisi's second wife and plotted to seize the Liancheng Treasure.
The three elements of water, fire, and earth are relatively honest and used to living by clinging to powerful figures; they want to find a new master.
Unfortunately, the Yuxian Gang had caused too much trouble, and neither the underworld nor the bandit strongholds dared to take them in. Even the Power Gang, which openly intended to rebel, was driven away by Liu Suifeng when they learned that the gang had come to seek refuge with them.
Li Chenzhou was happy to support the three of them.
Grand Steward Liu Suifeng and the gang leader's wife Zhao Shirong strongly opposed it. Liu Suifeng felt that the remnants of the Yuxian Gang were the source of trouble, while Zhao Shirong worried that the three of them would try to fool Li Chenzhou in the same way they had fooled the late emperor. Li Chenzhou was not very bright, and if he believed their deception, he would be completely doomed.
There are too many tricks up one's sleeve when it comes to Taoist alchemy!
"Chief Li, you said the elixir of immortality is a fraud, and we think so too. Only that fool, the late emperor, would fall for it. You're different; you're so smart. How could we dare to deceive you, Chief?"
"Chief Li, as the saying goes, of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring. You and your wife have no children yet, which is detrimental to your career. How about this? We have a technique for achieving marital bliss; please go home and try it!"
"Chief Li, you say your back hurts? We have the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, a secret imperial formula. This stuff has been passed down from the Qin Dynasty to the present day, and emperors throughout history have taken it!"
"Chief Li, do you feel that your martial arts have hit a bottleneck and need external stimulation? We have a divine medicine passed down from the pre-Qin period called Heavenly Light. After taking it, your power will increase tenfold. However, it is extremely difficult to refine and requires many rare and precious medicinal herbs. Could you please allocate some funds for it?"
Who could stand this process?
To put it bluntly, whether Li Chenzhou can hold back is one thing, but the first one to lose control is likely Zhao Shirong. She shouts the slogan of ruling the world, but she doesn't even have a son. Even a makeshift team is this useless!
Zhao Shirong took the blame for this.
The biggest accusation is that he is "jealous".
Zhao Shirong and Liu Suifeng discussed privately that, in order to prevent the above scenario, they should simply drive the three of them away.
The three men went into hiding, seeking refuge in various places, and finally joined the Blackwater Path under Zhu Datianwang. Back then, the Blackwater Path participated in the siege of Yan Kuangtu, losing five protectors and one divine lord. After years of recruiting soldiers, they were still short three positions, which was perfect opportunity for them to fill.
In the previous battle for the Liancheng treasure, the Water Walker and Earth Walker who suddenly appeared were ordered by Zhu Datianwang to disrupt the situation and cause the martial arts world of Jingxiang to kill each other in order to seize the treasure. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Zhengwo did not say a word and directly blasted the two into pieces.
The three of them looked out for each other and formed the Three Talents Formation, which was quite valuable. However, with the Water and Earth Walkers gone, only the Fire Walker remained, which immediately reduced his value by 10%.
Otherwise, why would the mighty "Dual Gods" undertake a suicide mission? Xu Qingya knew nothing about these secrets, nor did he need to care about them.
What really deserves our attention is the prison!
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Fiery God, two dark figures sneaked into the prison. The two rose and fell together, clearly old partners who had worked together for many years. They bought a map from the prison guard and easily found their target cell. Seeing seven huddled figures, they sneered and unleashed their palm strikes.
"Betraying the Heavenly King deserves to die!"
"Bang!"
Xue Jinying's brains splattered open, and her corpse fell to the ground.
"laugh!"
Zhan Qili's neck was severed by a palm strike, and his head rolled to Fu Yongxiang's feet. Fu Yongxiang looked at the two expressionlessly and laughed, "Both of you made a move, why didn't Zhu Shunshui come personally?"
The two were the two protectors who participated in the siege of Yan Kuangtu and survived by chance. One was named Zhang Canjin and the other was named Wan Suiyu. They were fellow disciples and were proficient in a special combination technique that allowed them to share the damage.
These two are extremely skilled in martial arts, excelling in both offense and defense.
Defensively, they have a damage-sharing technique that can withstand the heavy punches and kicks of the peak Yan Kuangtu. Offensively, they have the "Shattered Jade and Broken Gold Palm," which can severely injure Li Chenzhou in a life-or-death situation. If the two are considered as one, their martial arts skills would be firmly among the top three in the Blackwater Path.
First is Zhu Xiawu, second is Zhu Shunshui.
The order that could prompt the two elders to personally kill and silence witnesses must have come from Zhu Datianwang, not from Zhu Shunshui, who acted as a double, but from Zhu Xiawu himself.
Zhang Canjin said coldly, "Fu Yongxiang, we don't have much time, but we have enough to let you taste the greatest pain in the world before you die. You dare to address the Heavenly King by his name; you have quite the nerve!"
Fu Yongxiang completely gave up, scoffing, "When did I ever address the Heavenly King by his given name? Zhu Shunshui? He's Zhu the Great Heavenly King? Are you kidding me? I don't know who the Heavenly King is, do you think none of you know either?"
Wan Suiyu roared, "Fu Yongxiang! When did you find out? Did you tell Xu Qingya?"
Fu Yongxiang sneered disdainfully, "Hahahaha! To see those expressions on your faces is the most delightful thing in my life! You admit it so readily, it seems I'm definitely going to die tonight. Go ahead and do it! It's worth it!"
Wan Suiyu sneered, "I will kill everyone who knows the secret, just like now!"
Wan Suiyu swung her palm and slammed it towards Jin Beiwang!
"Four Sticks" was severely injured by Xu Qingya, with internal and external injuries linked together. He lay on the ground like a maggot, the perfect tool for intimidation. Wan Suiyu wanted to intimidate and threaten Fu Yongxiang before killing him, to make him fearful and beg to escape, and then shatter all the bones in his body.
Zhang Canjin thought so too.
The two men were deeply traumatized by their participation in the ambush of Yan Kuangtu. Whenever they thought of Yan Kuangtu's disheveled appearance, they would tremble with fear. Only by bullying the weak and killing the enemy could they bring a little sense of security to their fragile self-esteem.
There was no need for a combined attack to deal with four weaklings. Wan Suiyu attacked Jin Beiwang, and Zhang Canjin slashed Chang Wuqi with his palm. Just then, a sudden change occurred. The four people lying on the ground suddenly unleashed a powerful attack.
Four against two, both players were attacked from both sides!
Zhang Canjin and Wan Suiyu never expected that the four bugs huddled in the corner waiting to die would suddenly turn into tigers. Caught off guard, they had no time to fight back and could only desperately activate their protective true energy to resist a little.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Eight palms slammed into the two men's chests and backs.
The disguise on "Four Sticks'" face was shattered.
They are not "Four Sticks"!
They are the "Four Wonders of the South"!
It is also known as "Falling Flowers and Flowing Water"!
As evening fell, Xu Qingya found them and asked them to capture the rebels and eliminate evil. All four were renowned heroes. One of the gunmen, who was emotionally fragile, did not turn to the dark side and agreed without hesitation.
"Sneak attack" sounds bad, but they were acting on the orders of the imperial court to capture traitors. No matter what methods they used, it was not considered a lack of martial ethics.
Luo Hua Liu Shui unleashed its full power, catching Zhang Can Jin and Wan Sui Yu completely off guard. They were even unable to gather protective true energy, and the damage from the eight palm strikes was absorbed by both of them.
"puff!!"
Zhang Canjin vomited blood.
Having been sworn brothers for many years, Luo Hua and Liu Shui worked together seamlessly. Before the two could retaliate, they swiftly rolled backward, pulling out weapons from the corner of the cell. The eldest brother, Lu Tianshu, held a thick-backed broadsword, the second brother, Hua Tiegan, held a spear, and the third brother, Liu Chengfeng, and the fourth brother, Shui Dai, both held longswords.
"Haha! Traitor, prepare to die!"
Lu Tianshu was the most reckless and irritable. He swung his sword at Zhang Canjin's top. He was a disciple of Qin Family Village, specializing in external martial arts. He was proficient in the Five Tigers Severing Gate Saber. It was not the simplified version that Xu Qingya practiced, but the genuine Sixty-Four Styles of the Five Tigers Severing Gate Saber. His moves were fierce and domineering.
After the exchange of blows, Lu Tianshu knew that the two traitors' martial arts skills far surpassed his brothers'. If he hadn't ambushed and injured them, his side would have had no chance of winning. Fortunately, his side had the advantage of numbers and could drag the fight out.
Having experienced three major events in less than a month, the martial arts world of Jingxiang has long since developed a keen sense of awareness. Upon hearing any commotion, they will surely flock to the scene.
At that time, Xu Qingya will raise his arm and the martial arts world of Jingxiang will swarm forward. Where can the traitor run?
Lu Tianshu and Hua Tiegan are skilled in strong attacks, so they will block the retreat. Liu Chengfeng and Shui Dai are responsible for defense. Liu Chengfeng is the deputy head of Taiji Sect and a famous Taiji master. He has devoted his life to studying the method of using softness to overcome hardness. Shui Dai once received guidance on swordsmanship from Zhang Danfeng and is proficient in the Tianshan Great Sumeru Sword Style.
The "Great Sumeru Sword Style" means "using the power of Sumeru within a mustard seed". It can exert great power in a very small space and can be used freely even in a small room. The smaller the space, the more exquisite the sword technique and the stronger the power.
Even if the enemy's internal strength is far superior to one's own, one can still use this to fight back. In the prison cell, the power of this sword technique is by no means weaker than that of Tai Chi sword technique.
With Zhang Canjin and Wan Suiyu's martial arts skills, even if they were ambushed and seriously injured, they would still be confident of killing Luo Hua Liu Shui. The gap is too big, it's more than one level!
However, the opponent adopted a defensive posture, with four people forming a Four Symbols Formation, two attacking and two defending. They were not greedy for merit or reckless, but only sought to trap the enemy, not to injure them, and to hold out until reinforcements arrived. If they could do so, they would win the battle.
"Damn it, prepare to die!"
Dozens of hidden weapons flew over with precision.
Zhao Banshan led his Taiji Sect disciples to attack.
Zhao Banshan unleashed a flurry of hidden weapons with both hands, like a rain of arrows.
One hundred and eight Tai Chi disciples formed the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Sword Formation at the prison gate. Although it was called a sword formation, it was actually just a matter of numbers, with everyone shoulder to shoulder.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Yang Yan and Yin Susu arrived at the same time.
Yang Yan changed into Pan Youdi's alias. Her alias wasn't exactly a secret. The reason for changing aliases was that the feeling of making a move was different with different identities.
The Fairy of the Startling Swan is fond of light-footed skills and hidden weapons.
Pan Youdi is fond of knife skills.
Having known Xu Qingya for so long, Yang Yan has benefited a lot, especially in terms of swordsmanship.
She couldn't learn powerful kung fu like the Spring and Autumn Saber Technique, the Five Tigers Severing the Gate Saber Technique, or the Wei Family Saber Manual, and the Ice Jade Saber Technique didn't suit her. But Xu Qingya's "Creative Saber" was a perfect match for the agile Yang Yan.
Yin Susu, still relying on her equipment, raised her hand and shot out three mosquito needles. She then swung her claws at Wan Suiyu's neck. Wan Suiyu raised her hand and struck out with a palm, trying to grab the hostage. Unexpectedly, Yin Susu had a hidden weapon in her palm, a Seven-Star Nail.
The Seven Star Nails are a "mother-and-child hidden weapon." With just one click of the spring, the letter-shaped steel nails pierce through the palm.
Moreover, when Wan Suiyu landed, she felt a slight tingling sensation, like a mosquito bite, on her left leg.
Yin Susu flipped her jade hand, threw the broken shell of the hidden weapon on the ground, and smiled at Wan Suiyu.
