Chapter 21: The Myth Shattered
The purple aura transformed into a river of swords that burst forth and collided with Yang Xiangru's sword energy.
boom!
The purple sword river instantly dissipated.
Yang Xiangru's sword, taking advantage of the momentum, slashed towards Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji moved swiftly, like a fleeting shadow, and immediately flew to the side to dodge.
He narrowly avoided Yang Xiangru's deadly move.
"A good opportunity!" Just then, Tang Yuan leaped into the air, wielding the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Blade and slashing at Wei Wuji.
The sword energy surged and transformed into a ferocious tiger that pounced on Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji immediately swung his sword, aiming at the ferocious tiger.
The ferocious tiger was instantly defeated, and the vast sword energy rippled outwards, shattering Tang Yuan's blade light.
Tang Yuan was blasted away.
At that moment, another figure leaped into the air and thrust out with a finger.
Yang Xuan, however, used his fingers as a sword and unleashed the "Frosty Jade Finger," a cold finger beam slicing through the air and piercing Wei Wuji's right abdomen.
Blood splattered.
Wei Wuji's body stiffened slightly.
"Transform your Qi into a sword!" Qin Shisan leaped into the air.
He pointed his fingers together to form a sword, and with a flick of his wrist, sword energy whistled from his fingertips, transforming into a water sword that pierced towards Wei Wuji in the air.
call out!
Instantly, Wei Wuji, whose body stiffened slightly, was pierced by the sword energy and coughed up blood.
Yang Xuan, Tang Yuan, and Qin Shisan are all veteran masters who have experienced countless battles and naturally know how to seize opportunities.
Therefore, in the blink of an eye, they delivered a thunderous blow to Wei Wuji.
The three of them acted in the blink of an eye, their coordination was absolutely perfect!
"Third Uncle..." Upon seeing this, Wei Zhan shouted and leaped forward to rush to Wei Wuji's aid.
However, at that moment, Yang Qin, the commander of the Shadow Guard, gave an order.
The crossbowmen of Snowdrift Manor pulled the trigger.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Arrows flew toward Wei Zhan.
Then, crossbow bolts as thick as spears were fired, heading straight for Wei Zhan.
Wei Zhan stopped and immediately swung his sword to defend himself. One arrow after another was cut down by him, unable to get close at all.
At this moment, after Yang Xuan injured Wei Wuji, "Yang Xiangru" struck again, unleashing two sword strikes.
Two icy sword energies intertwined, transforming into a cross slash that hurtled towards Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji immediately slashed out with his sword to block the attack.
The two sword beams clashed, their sword energy crisscrossing, and Wei Wuji was blasted away, spitting out blood.
The instant Wei Wuji was thrown back, the Iron Guards of Piaoxue Manor immediately pulled the trigger, and countless arrows shot towards Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji immediately unleashed his Purple Fiend Qi, transforming it into a tornado sword wind to protect himself, shredding the arrows one by one.
Yang Xiangru drew his sword and slashed at Wei Wuji.
The sword energy swept across the sky and earth, dazzling and eye-catching.
"My life is over!" Wei Wuji's heart sank.
Faced with such a relentless onslaught, he was clearly powerless to resist.
Just as it was about to strike the purple sword wind, the icy sword energy suddenly stopped.
"This is bad... The power of the heroic spirits that we gathered this time is almost exhausted!" Yang Jiuli exclaimed inwardly.
Yang Xiangru's body began to become illusory, and then disappeared.
The Autumn Water Sword fell from the sky.
"Haha, this is truly a stroke of luck!" Upon seeing this, Wei Wuji, who had been secretly thinking that his life was over, burst into laughter.
He pressed several acupoints on the wound with his fingers to stop the bleeding.
His gaze suddenly sharpened, like a hungry wolf surveying all directions, and a boundless purple aura of malevolence emanated from him.
Previously, he was suppressed by the Grandmaster Yang Xiangru, which is why he was always restrained.
Now that Yang Xiangru has disappeared, Wei Wuji's invincible belief has surged back into his heart.
Holding the Purple Cloud Sword, he flashed and split into several figures, who attacked Tang Yuan, Yang Xuan, and Qin Shisan respectively.
The three immediately engaged in combat.
In just one round, Yang Xuan, Qin Shisan, and Tang Yuan were all sent flying.
Even though Wei Wuji was already injured, a Grandmaster's strike was still no small matter.
Just as the three were knocked away, Wei Wuji suddenly changed his attack, streaking across the void like a rainbow as he charged towards Yang Jiuli with his sword.
It turns out that the attack on Yang Xuan and the others was just a feint by Wei Wuji; his real target was Yang Jiuli in the training ground.
With his Grandmaster-level intuition, Wei Wuji knew that Yang Jiuli was the real threat and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
"Protect the young master!" Yang Qin shouted, appearing beside Yang Jiuli in a flash and throwing his halberd at Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji snorted coldly and shattered the battle halberd with a single sword strike.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Behind them, Iron Guards pulled the triggers of their crossbows, and arrows rained down on Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji brandished his longsword, unleashing a burst of sword energy that instantly shredded the arrows.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Wuji appeared three zhang away from Yang Jiuli.
Sword energy burst forth from the Purple Cloud Sword, transforming into sword beams that pierced towards Yang Jiuli.
call out!
The sword energy surged forward, instantly appearing two zhang in front of Yang Jiuli.
Yang Jiuli advanced instead of retreating.
"Jiu'er..." Yang Xuan, who had just regained his balance, shouted immediately upon seeing this scene.
"This..." Qin Zhixue and Tang Yifan both widened their eyes.
Who can withstand such a grandmaster's strike?
Yang Jiuli actually went forward to meet him; wasn't he courting death?
Suddenly, a Taiyin Qi talisman appeared between Yang Jiuli's eyebrows.
The talisman emitted a chilling aura, which transformed into a protective shield around him.
Click!
The purple sword energy pierced the light shield, causing cracks to appear.
In the instant the light shield shattered, Yang Jiuli shifted three feet to the side, dodging the sword energy.
boom!
The sword energy struck a pillar behind them, shattering it.
The next moment, light patterns intertwined between Yang Jiuli's brows.
"Soul Tide!" He unleashed his soul technique once more, unleashing a vast surge of soul power that crashed towards Wei Wuji like a raging torrent.
Wei Wuji's soul trembled, and he was slightly stunned.
"Soul Arrow!" Another soul arrow flew out from between Yang Jiuli's eyebrows, piercing towards Wei Wuji.
A flash of cold light appeared, and just as the soul arrow was three feet away from Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji suddenly awoke and stretched out his left hand.
His two fingers firmly held a moonlight energy arrow that emanated a chilling aura.
"It's actually this thing..." Wei Wuji's gaze sharpened.
Just then, another soul arrow shot out.
call out!
Another soul arrow shot towards Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji touched the ground with his toes, and with a flash, he immediately flew backward.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Yuan slashed down from behind.
The blade flashed, transforming into a qi blade that slashed towards Wei Wuji.
With his escape route cut off, Wei Wuji immediately turned around and swung his sword to defend himself.
He shattered the qi blade with a single sword strike, and the sword energy continued to surge towards Tang Yuan.
Tang Yuan was forced back.
Using the force of the recoil from the attack, Wei Wuji moved, soaring upwards and leaping into the air.
At the same time, his eyes darted around, scanning left and right, like an eagle searching for prey.
Immediately, the martial arts practitioners in front of them all became wary.
Especially Tang Yifan and Qin Zhixue.
Tang Xiao and Qin Jianhe, who were beside them, gripped their weapons tightly, ready to strike.
After only one glance, Wei Wuji withdrew his gaze from Tang Yifan.
At this moment, Tang Yifan's iron fan was ready to activate the mechanism and launch a hidden weapon.
The next moment, Wei Wuji swooped down like an eagle, heading straight for Qin Zhixue.
Qin Jianhe stepped forward and swung his sword, but Wei Wuji swept it away with a single sword.
After Qin Jianhe was slashed away by a sword, purple sword energy swept out, and Qin Zhixue leaped to the side to avoid the sword energy.
All the martial arts figures and guards in that area retreated.
The next instant, Qin Zhixue felt a surge of purple energy, which bound her body and pulled her into the air ahead.
Wei Wuji reached out with his left hand and grabbed Qin Zhixue.
"Young Master..." Qin Jianhe and his two guards shouted.
On the other side, the Shadow Guards of Piaoxue Manor locked onto Wei Wuji with crossbows, but did not make a move for fear of hurting Qin Zhixue.
"Sword Eleven... My intent is the sword intent, my body is the sword!" Just then, a deep voice rang out.
In the training ground, sword energy soared into the sky.
Qin Shisan leaped into the air.
He unleashed sword energy, using his fingers as swords to stab at Wei Wuji.
In that instant, sword energy howled and condensed into the prototype of a sword of energy, based on Qin Shisan's body.
He is the sword!
The sword is him!
Sword Eleven!
At a critical moment, Qin Shisan grasped the true essence of swordsmanship and reached the threshold of becoming a Grandmaster.
He unleashed the eleventh sword technique created by his ancestor: "Using the body as a sword!"
Almost instantly, Qin Shisan appeared nine feet away from Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji had no way to dodge, and thrust his sword at Qin Shisan with his right hand, purple sword energy bursting out from the tip of the sword.
boom!
The two sword energies collided, and Qin Shisan's sword energy surged out like a torrent, engulfing Wei Wuji's body.
The vast sword energy swept in all directions, and even people ten feet away felt a stinging pain on their skin.
Yang Jiuli also retreated about ten feet.
"Uncle Qin has actually grasped the true meaning of swordsmanship!" Yang Jiuli murmured as he looked ahead.
Yang Xuan and Tang Yuan both looked ahead.
Just then, Wei Wuji's Purple Cloud Sword trembled violently, and a powerful purple sword aura surged out.
The sword energy emanating from Qin Shisan's fingertips was dispersed, and a purple sword energy directly struck his body.
boom!
Qin Shisan was knocked away and coughed up blood.
"So strong!" many people thought to themselves.
Even when a Grandmaster is injured, he is still far superior to a Master.
However, after injuring Qin Shisan, Wei Wuji did not linger. With a swift movement, he leaped into the sky.
With a few flashes, he carried Qin Zhixue away from the training ground.
"Qin Shisan, if you want your daughter to live, bring three Primordial Ancient Palace Tokens to the Black Abyss to find me!"
Wei Wuji's voice rang out softly.
"Grand Uncle..." Seeing Wei Wuji flee, Wei Zhan panicked and quickly leaped out of the training ground.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The crossbows from Piaoxue Manor were fired, but Wei Zhan shattered them with his sword, failing to capture them.
Yang Xuan and Tang Yuan glanced at it but did not chase after it.
They were all seriously injured in their battle with Wei Wuji just now.
Even if we pursue him now, it will be difficult to capture Wei Zhan.
"Master!" Two of Qin's guards immediately stepped forward and helped Qin Shisan up.
The sword strike just now had seriously injured Qin Shisan; his clothes were torn in the chest and abdomen area, leaving behind cracks caused by the impact of the sword energy.
The bones are visible, and blood is flowing continuously.
"Grandmasters can walk on air, but they are not easy to pursue!" Yang Jiuli sighed softly as he watched Wei Wuji's departing figure.
Wei Wuji's last few moves were clearly intended to capture a hostage and then retreat.
This shows that Wei Wuji was seriously injured and did not want to fight for a long time, which is why he made this decision.
This was originally the best time to hunt down Wei Wuji.
Unfortunately, his father, Yang Xuan, was seriously injured.
Tang Yuan was also injured.
Qin Shisan almost lost his life.
As for Yang Jiuli...
He had already used all three of his "Soul Arrows," and the Taiyin Qi Talisman had also consumed 60% of its power.
He had played all his cards, leaving only the "Past Life Talisman".
To hunt down a grandmaster with such limited resources is too risky!
After all, a Grandmaster's dying counterattack is enough to take another Grandmaster down with him!
Therefore, Yang Jiuli chose to give up the pursuit of Wei Wuji and planned to take a longer approach.
In his view, living is the most important thing.
