Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 64: Dugu's Four Swords, Xiaodao's One Sword

Two groups of figures were leaping rapidly between the mountains. The weapons in their hands were used to attack and defend at an extremely fast speed, but there was no direct collision with each other, let alone the so-called sound of weapon collision.

Dugu Qiubai used flexible grass leaves, while Qiu Chuji used a domineering long mace. In terms of weapons, it was extremely unfair.

However, the two people fighting at this moment did not feel that there was anything wrong.

Having a handy weapon in hand is part of Qiu Chuji's strength, and being able to use everything as a sword is also the realm of Dugu Qiubai.

Dugu Qiubai's plants, bamboos, and stones can all be turned into swords. This does not just mean that after one's skills have reached a certain level, as long as one's internal strength is strong, one can control the Qi and turn it into a sword. Everything is just a carrier... If this is the case, what is the essential difference between this and the Six Meridians Divine Sword?
He can make full use of the sharpness of any object in his hand as a "sword", which is the real strength of Dugu Qiubai.

Even without using his internal energy, he could easily pick up a blade of grass and use the sharpness of the leaves to kill people.

Such a Dugu Qiubai, in terms of realm, is already far superior to the overall level of people in the martial arts world today. No wonder he no longer hangs around in the martial arts world, but lives in seclusion to study swordsmanship alone.

Qiu Chuji still needed to communicate with others in order to integrate what he had learned and apply it to other similar situations.

Dugu Qiubai has already stood at the end of the road he has created. There are no ancients in front of him and no future generations behind him. Only the vastness of the world remains.

Just like the saying: I am invincible in the world, if I don’t fight against heaven, who else can I fight against?

The two men attacked quickly 108 times, and Qiu Chuji was stabbed in the back of his hands, arms, shoulders, thighs, and back, a total of 17 times, including two fatal wounds in the throat and chest. Of course... they were all blocked by Qiu Chuji's super defense and no actual damage was caused.

During this period, Qiu Chuji's long mace only hit Dugu Qiubai three times, once on the shoulder, once on the elbow, and once on the left chest.

However, Dugu Qiubai was hit three times by Qiu Chuji's powerful long mace, but he was fine. Perhaps it was because he had practiced the same defensive external skills, or perhaps it was simply because he had eaten too many Bosuqu snake gallbladders, so his physical strength and defense were no longer human.

"You trade injuries for injuries too often. It will be very difficult if you meet a real opponent." Dugu Qiubai began to actively teach Qiu Chuji the swordsmanship.

This shows that he truly recognized Qiu Chuji's attainments in swordsmanship.

When he had previously fought Dugu with the 'Jade Girl Pure Heart Sword', he had only seen the brilliance of the sword technique, but had not seen Qiu Chuji's own abilities.

"Then what should I do?" Qiu Chuji asked humbly.

"Normally, when we fight against others, we focus on using our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. But at your level, our weaknesses are no longer obvious, so what should we do?"

Dugu Qiubai's sword movement suddenly changed, and the grass leaf in his hand seemed to become very heavy. The grass leaf, which weighed less than one or two pounds, was like an axe or a hammer weighing hundreds of pounds in Dugu's hand, smashing towards Qiu Chuji quickly, fiercely and violently.

This move is to make light as if it were heavy and turn the world upside down.

"Use the enemy's strengths to attack their strengths, disrupt their rhythm, and instantly strike at their weaknesses!"

The grass leaf in Dugu Qiubai's hand moved forward, and this time it did not avoid direct contact with the long mace in Qiu Chuji's hand. Two powerful forces burst out from the intersection of the grass leaf and the long mace. In just a moment... the grass leaf seemed to take root in the long mace, disrupting Qiu Chuji's original mace momentum, entwining around the weapon, and the tip of the grass pierced his wrist.

This sword was not aimed at Qiu Chuji's vital points, nor even at a fixed acupuncture point, but was only intended to stimulate the tendons.

The force was too weak and did not cause Qiu Chuji's instinctive reaction of protecting his body with his true Qi. However, as soon as the force in his hand was slightly reduced, the long mace was moved by the grass leaves, broke away from Qiu Chuji's palm and rolled to the side of his body.

The weapon was taken away!
Qiu Chuji turned sideways and struck hard at the end of the long mace that had slipped out of his hand.

hum!
The long mace flew into the air and turned into a rainbow and shot towards Dugu Qiubai.

The mace was in mid-air, and at first its speed could only be considered as 'astonishing', but as Qiu Chuji slapped three more palms through the air, the speed of the long mace soaring into the air even broke the sound barrier, making a very astonishing explosion. The long mace, without aiming, passed by Dugu Qiubai's side, then drew a long arc in the air and stabbed at Dugu Qiubai from another place.

Dugu Qiubai's expression changed for the first time. He held the grass leaf in his hand straight and swung it violently.

The grass leaves filled with true energy shattered in an instant during the collision, while the whistling long mace continued to advance fiercely, with no possibility of stopping at all.

Dugu Qiubai took two steps back to avoid the sharp edge, then reached out to grasp the handle of the mace.

The long mace swung in the air and dragged Dugu Qiubai forward for three or four steps, raising a cloud of dust before slowly stopping, like a wild horse finally being tamed.

Looking at Dugu Qiubai's palms again, they were clearly worn and bleeding.

"Hahaha! Good! Great swordsmanship! Great sword momentum!"

"What is this move?"

"Did you create this yourself?"

Although his hand was injured, Dugu Qiubai was not angry, but was overjoyed instead.

From this sword, he felt the long-lost "danger" and also realized the possibility of defeat.

"Hundred Steps Flying Sword!"

"It was not created by me alone, but was created by me, my master Wang Chongyang, Hong Qi from the Beggars' Sect, Huang Yaoshi from Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea, and Ouyang Feng from the Western Regions." Qiu Chuji said.

Dugu Qiubai handed the long mace in his hand, which no longer shook, back to Qiu Chuji: "I never thought that after thirty years of not leaving the mountain, there would be so many rising stars in the martial arts world."

“Although your sword is risky, it is a real killer move. No one can escape this blow.” The ‘ordinary’ mentioned by Dugu Qiubai is definitely not those small fry in the martial arts world, but at least someone who is not weaker than the leader of a sect.

"I was able to dodge it, but that was just a clever move. As for breaking it... I'm still not good enough."

While speaking, Dugu still couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Qiu Chuji's heart was moved: "Senior, soon, we will reunite in Zhongnan Mountain to derive a new set of martial arts together. Senior, are you willing to go with us and join in the fun?"

Dugu Qiubai thought about it and waved his hand: "I would rather see you use it to fight me after you succeed in deducing it."

"If I knew the truth in advance, I'm afraid I would have taken advantage of it."

As he spoke, Dugu Qiubai pulled up another blade of grass and said, "Come on! Let's compete again. Although your swordsmanship is not bad, it lacks some skills. I will use Shaolin Bodhidharma swordsmanship to attack you first. You should see the tricks carefully."

"When you understand, I will fight you with the Thirty-Six Swords of Ailao Mountain and the Willow Catkins Sword Technique."

"Just use the first move to test me, and when I'm not prepared, use this Hundred Steps Flying Sword to attack me again!"

At this moment, Dugu Qiubai was full of determination. He didn't even need Qiu Chuji to challenge him. He would take the initiative to pull Qiu Chuji and fight until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and until the end of time.
