Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 318 Siege of Ba Tianmo

Ba Tianmo's lightness skill is not considered beautiful or elegant, nor does it have anything to do with graceful movement. It is simply very practical. With each step, he covers seventeen or eighteen feet. The second step is half a foot further than the first, and the third step is another half foot further. Within six or seven steps, his speed increases. Although he will eventually slow down, in terms of traveling in a straight line, he is no less than any other lightness skill in the world.

Although Sun Yanwan believed that he could leap five zhang away with all his might, such a long jump, with its up-and-down motion and force transfer, was far inferior to a long run. Just like a long jump expert, one should never use the long jump posture in any running competition.

He used all of the Songyang Sect's direct lineage's Riding the Wind Technique, and although he was able to keep up, he was still unable to close the distance with Ba Tianmo.

Yang Diao'er's lightness skill was almost on par with his. When she unleashed the full power of the Heavenly Demon Art, she was like a celestial demoness, dancing gracefully. In terms of elegance, she was undoubtedly the most graceful of the Little Saintess of the Demonic Sect.

Wuyinghou was truly skilled in lightness skills. At first, he didn't show it much, but during the long pursuit, he gradually distanced himself from Sun Yanwan and Yang Diao'er, and chased Ba Tianmo to within a few feet, where he unleashed a powerful palm strike from afar.

Ba Tianmo struck back with a palm, but Wuying Hou did not compete with him in palm power. He shifted his body to avoid the palm force and then struck out with another palm.

Although Wuying Hou was not particularly skilled in the art of splitting the air with palm strikes, he was still a master-level expert. His continuous splitting the air with palm strikes forced Ba Tianmo to concentrate and slow down his pace.

Sun Yanwan took a deep breath, converted his internal energy, and used the extraordinary skill of the Ruyi Qiankun Bag. He suddenly leaped into the air, closing the distance, and also unleashed a palm strike. His palm strike was much more exquisite. It was the Taiyi Hunxian Silk Palm Force, a direct descendant of the Songyang Sect, which was winding and unpredictable. Ba Tianmo was caught off guard and was struck on the shoulder.

Although the force of the palm strike was weakened considerably due to the increased distance, it still caused Ba Tianmo to groan.

Although the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray is more powerful, this martial art, while incredibly powerful, also suffers from the common flaw of all incredibly powerful martial arts: it is too slow to activate, especially since it requires concentration to strike, which is disadvantageous when using light footwork.

Knowing that he would be stopped sooner or later if he continued like this, Ba Tianmo immediately focused his mind and exhaled, lightly flicking his toes with each step. After three steps, he turned around and his true energy became condensed and concentrated. With two whooshes, he released two palm strikes, which were aimed at Wuying Hou and Sun Yanwan respectively.

Sun Yanwan didn't change his power at this moment. He kept circling around Ba Tianmo, unleashing wave after wave of Taiyi Hunxian Silk Palm Force. He wanted to test just how many levels of palm force Ba Tianmo had pushed the Four Symbols Yuan Gong to.

Wuying Hou drew his longsword and vanished into the sword light. He unleashed the Heavenly Enchantress Shadowless Sword Technique, clashing head-on with Ba Tianmo's palm strikes. However, each sword strike employed the ability to borrow, deflect, and transfer force, ensuring that he was not at a disadvantage in the face of the opponent.

Yang Diao'er drew out the Ice Silkworm Treasure Fan, activated the Heavenly Demon Art, and scattered countless fan shadows across the sky.

The three of them joined forces and gradually forced Ba Tianmo to withdraw his palm power to defend himself. In this exchange, sand and stones flew everywhere, and forty or fifty moves passed in the blink of an eye.

Sun Yanwan was slightly surprised because he clearly felt that Ba Tianmo's palm force was between the sixth and seventh level, with one palm force not being very complete. Not every move could be consistently at the seventh level of palm force, and it was somewhat unpredictable.

Sun Yanwan was familiar with most of the six or seven layers of palm strikes, but the fifth layer was completely unfamiliar to him, clearly indicating that it was the missing part of the mental cultivation technique.

Sun Yanwan wondered to herself, "How come his skills are different from Lu Chaoxiu's?"

"Is there some explanation?"

Sun Yanwan shouted, "Ba Tianmo, we are not enemies, why do you want to kill me too?" Ba Tianmo slapped away with his powerful palm force. Neither Sun Yanwan nor Wuyinghou dared to take the blow lightly. Yang Diao'er's skill was not as good as the two of them, so she dared not to take the blow head-on. She just used all her strength to activate the Heavenly Demon Skill, moving around and looking for an opening to break the enemy.

Sun Yanwan shouted several times, but Ba Tianmo ignored her and instead turned his palm force towards her, launching a series of deadly attacks.

Sun Yanwan was beginning to believe it; Ba Tianmo had indeed gone mad, otherwise he wouldn't have refused to give her any face. Sun Yanwan didn't think she had enough face; she simply thought that from a purely self-interested perspective, Ba Tianmo had already offended Wuying Hou, and offending him now would be extremely unwise.

As the four fought to a climax, Sun Yanwan let out a long roar and drew the Three Souls Double-Edged Sword. Colorful light swirled around the blade as he channeled the extraordinary power of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light into the sword. Even Yang Diao'er had never seen such a skill before, let alone Wuying Hou and Ba Tianmo.

With her longsword drawn, Sun Yanwan launched a fierce attack, her sword light flowing like mercury across the ground, bringing the Songyang School's Great Songyang Divine Sword and Hunyuan Sword Technique to their fullest potential.

If Wuying Hou hadn't truly known that Sun Yanwan possessed the supernatural staff technique, he would almost have believed that Sun Yanwan had defeated the Demonic Sect's King of the Sun using this sword technique.

Wuyinghou couldn't help but think to himself, "If there really were a King Harsha who knew the supernatural staff technique, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand Sun Yanwan's swordsmanship. He has truly achieved mastery of the sword and clarity of mind!"

Ba Tianmo struck the Three Souls Two Blades sword three times in a row with his palm. He felt as if the sword was made up of countless blades. No matter whether he struck the spine or the tip, if he did not exert enough power, sharp sword energy would break through his body.

If it weren't for his profound skill and status as a seasoned master, he would have been overwhelmed by this single sword technique.

The four were locked in a fierce battle when suddenly a funeral procession came along. Ba Tianmo suddenly launched several powerful attacks, creating an opening, and pounced on it.

With his martial arts skills, how could these ordinary people be a match for him?
With a series of cracking sounds, dozens of people who were attending the funeral were all killed, and even the dead in the coffins were struck by Ba Tianmo's palm.

Sun Yanwan immediately showed an incredulous expression, because after Ba Tianmo killed these dozens of people, his true energy had obviously increased by several points. When he turned around to fight again, his palm force was much heavier than before.

Wuying Hou said that Ba Tianmo's martial arts would increase after killing people. Sun Yanwan didn't quite believe it at first, but now he had to believe it. Ba Tianmo's martial arts really did increase after killing people.

Sun Yanwan now faces a question: is this increase in martial arts skills permanent or temporary? And how much benefit will she ultimately retain?
Ba Tianmo's palm force was the Four Symbols Yuan Gong, but the palm technique was still the Dragon Elephant Returning to the Source Palm Technique of the Northern Beggars' Clan. At this moment, he used this palm technique, and the palm force reached five zhang away, forcing the three enemies to stay several zhang away. He was truly awe-inspiring and incomparably ferocious.

Sun Yanwan changed her swordsmanship in quick succession and suddenly shouted, "Shadowless Marquis, let the three of us take turns attacking and try to outlast him with our internal energy!"

Wuyinghou exclaimed "Good!" and shouted, "Then I'll go first."

All three knew that they couldn't defeat Ba Tianmo for the time being, but with three of them taking turns attacking and two others staying behind to assist, each person's true energy consumption would naturally be lower than Ba ​​Tianmo's.
