Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 147 The Might of the Heaven-Slaying Sword: Zhang Wuji Battles Extinction

Abbess Miejue unleashed her full power, her monk's robes suddenly billowing as she unleashed a set of Snowdrift Cloud Piercing Palm techniques, the force of which was formidable and exquisite.

She unleashed both palms, covering Zhu Changling and Wu Lie, her face revealing a fierce glint, and a murderous aura instantly rose within her.

"Hmph, I've long heard of the Emei Sect's extraordinary martial arts. I'd like to see which is stronger, the Emei Sect's One-Finger Divine Skill or my Zhu Family's!"

Zhu Changling did not back down. He unleashed his inner strength and extended his fingers, channeling decades of skill into them to directly confront Abbess Miejue's palm strike.

"Hehe, try my Wu family's Azure Wave Palm!"

Wu Lie sneered, choosing to confront Abbess Miejue head-on, just like Zhu Changling.

The Azure Wave Palm he practiced was a palm technique passed down from the Eastern Heretic, one of the Five Greats of Peach Blossom Island, which was attached to the Azure Wave Heart Method. It was also a superior palm technique with a high level.

The two fought together, employing an extremely aggressive fighting style, aiming to challenge the leader of Emei, one of the six major sects.

In an instant, the battle between the three became incredibly fierce, with various palm strikes exploding and powerful forces surging, shattering the surrounding artificial mountains into dust under these forces.

The disciples of the Emei Sect quickly retreated. Of the three people present, both Miejue and Zhu Wu possessed martial arts skills that were at the top level in the martial arts world.

Moreover, all three possessed considerable martial arts skills.

The lineage of martial arts has quite a history.

The founder of the Emei Sect was Guo Xiang, the granddaughter of the Eastern Heretic.

The Emei Sect naturally possesses the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island, but over the years, much of it has been lost.

What remains today are all martial arts created by Guo Xiang and her descendants.

Xu Qing watched the three fighting fiercely with a calm gaze.

This level of combat was nothing to him.

But for Zhang Wuji, who was standing beside him, it was quite an eye-opening experience.

After all, Zhang Wuji had very little combat experience and had very little real-world fighting skills.

"Hmm, the internal energy of this Abbess Miejue seems somewhat similar to my Nine Yang Divine Skill!"

Suddenly, Zhang Wuji saw that Abbess Miejue's power had reached its peak. Her surging and scorching true energy had completely unleashed its divine might, and she had gained the upper hand in an instant.

This fluctuation of true energy is extremely similar to that of the Nine Yang True Energy.

Hearing Zhang Wuji's surprise, Xu Qing spoke calmly:
"The core internal skill of the Emei Sect is called the Emei Nine Yang Skill. It was created by Guo Xiang based on some of the essence of the Nine Yang Divine Skill and combined with her own learning."

"Yes, my grandmaster also mentioned this."

Zhang Wuji suddenly realized that his grandmaster, Zhang Zhenren, had also talked about the origin of the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the three martial arts techniques that were derived from it when he was a child.

The three martial arts are Wudang Nine Yang Skill, Shaolin Nine Yang Skill, and Emei Nine Yang Skill.

Back then, Master Zhang personally led him to Shaolin Temple to seek the Shaolin Nine Yang Skill, but they were turned away by Shaolin Temple and failed.

Only then did he meet Hu Qingniu, the Immortal Physician of Butterfly Valley.

Xu Qing glanced at Zhang Wuji, who was also very familiar with his childhood experiences.

Having been struck by the Xuanming Divine Palm, the cold poison penetrated deep into his internal organs. If it weren't for Master Zhang's century-old pure true energy forcibly suppressing the cold poison...

Zhang Wuji could not possibly be alive today.

While the two were chatting, the three people fighting fiercely on the field were about to really fight, and all of them used their full strength.

However, no winner was decided.

Zhu and Wu are both top-tier experts, but they are no match for Xu Qing. However, when they join forces, even Abbess Miejue, the head of the Emei Sect, would find it difficult to defeat them together.

"Master, take the sword!"

At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo threw the Heaven Sword in her hand towards Abbess Miejue.

Abbess Miejue leaped up and grabbed the sword sheath.

Upon landing, he instantly drew the Heaven-Slaying Sword, unleashing a burst of true energy that emitted a blazing sword light, extremely sharp and fierce.

Zhu Changling and Wu Lie's expressions changed, and they quickly dodged, not daring to take the hit head-on.

The sword energy pierced the air, easily cleaving open a rockery, and even leaving a deep mark on the wall behind it.

"What an amazing sword!"

"This is the Heaven Sword!?"

Zhu Changling and Wu Lie's faces darkened. They had long heard that the legendary Heaven-Slaying Sword was in the hands of the Emei Sect.

The rumors were true; the power of this sword is indeed terrifying!
"Death!"

With the Abbess Miejue wielding the Heaven-Reliant Sword, her murderous aura surged once more, her imposing presence rising like a rainbow, chillingly cold, her sword's power overwhelming, causing even those around her to tremble. Zhu Changling and Wu Lie felt immense pressure; their finger and palm strikes were completely unable to be suppressed by the sword's might, making the battle increasingly perilous.

"It is indeed a divine weapon."

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. This Heaven-Slaying Sword would increase Abbess Miejue's combat power by at least 30% to 40%!

If Yitian doesn’t come out, who can compete with me?
There's a saying circulating in the martial arts world that the only divine weapon that can be ranked alongside this Heaven-Slaying Sword is the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

"You guys stand down."

Xu Qing did not allow Zhu Wu and the other to continue forcing themselves on her. With the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Abbess Miejue was already at least at the top level in the martial arts world.

He can be considered a formidable opponent, second only to the most outstanding masters in the martial arts world.

This is not something Zhu Wu and his companion can handle.

Upon hearing Xu Qing's voice, Zhu Wu and the other man felt relieved. They quickly swung out a palm strike and retreated back to Xu Qing's side.

"Your subordinate is useless; I failed to capture this extinct old nun!"

The two bowed in unison.

The two had hoped to use this battle to showcase their combat prowess to Xu Qing.

However, Abbess Miejue's strength still shocked them; she held her own against two opponents.

Now, wielding the legendary divine weapon, the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Zhu Wu and his companion are utterly no match for him.

Xu Qing waved his hand, signaling the two to step back. He had never imagined that these two people could defeat Abbess Miejue.

Even if Abbess Miejue didn't use the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Zhu Wu and his companion would still be unable to defeat her.

Abbess Miejue has cultivated the Emei Nine Yang Skill for decades, and has now mastered this martial art.

His internal strength was much stronger than that of Zhu Wu and the other two.

"Hmph, you think you can get away unscathed? Not so easy!"

With the divine weapon Yitian Sword in hand, Abbess Miejue's confidence soared and her killing intent was intense, as if she wanted to kill Zhu Wu and the other person right here!

"Wuji, capture her."

Xu Qing did not make a move; the mere Abbess Miejue was not worthy of his attention.

Moreover, his disciple has too little practical experience, and Abbess Miejue is a very good whetstone.

"Yes, Master!"

Zhang Wuji leaped forward, throwing a punch that caused the surrounding airflow to explode violently. The force of his punch was overwhelming, and the Nine Yang True Qi followed suit.

Abbess Miejue's eyes suddenly changed, and her sword moves changed rapidly. She unleashed several sword strikes in succession, and the sword energy was so violent that it extinguished Zhang Wuji's fist force.

"What an awesome boy!"

Extinction frowned, continuing to unleash her swordsmanship. Her internal energy circulated more and more rapidly as she realized that Zhang Wuji was no ordinary person and dared not underestimate him.

"Wuji? That name..."

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhiruo's heart trembled when she heard Xu Qing call Zhang Wuji's name.

She had known a boy since childhood, Zhang Wuji.

Even after many years apart, she never forgot the boy.

Upon hearing the name Wuji, the image of that boy immediately came to mind for Zhou Zhiruo.

"So many years have passed, if Brother Wuji hadn't died, he would probably be the same age as this young hero by now, right?"

Zhou Zhiruo knew that Zhang Wuji was suffering from a severe cold poison, which was incurable by medicine.

She already believed the other person was dead.

Little did she know that her Wuji brother was the very young swordsman who had fought fiercely with her master.

Zhou Zhiruo's beautiful eyes were fixed on Zhang Wuji. For some reason, the more she looked at him, the more she felt that this young hero resembled the Zhang Wuji in her memory.

"How could that be? Brother Wuji is already dead, he can't possibly still be alive."

She shook her head, suppressing the thought in her mind.
