The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 355 The Mysterious Twin Blades
Wu Chengyu was panting heavily, looking like he had no strength left. He even used his internal energy to work up a sweat.

There was no other way; this was the kind of performance Nie Feng should deliver. To outsiders, he was targeted and sabotaged in the first match, and in the second match, he was openly protected by the referee and took drugs. Moreover, Tong Xiang was already a master.

Just now, Wu Chengyu chose to fight head-on, using all his strength to exchange more than twenty kicks with Tong Xiang, who had taken medicine and was unaware of pain and whose strength had greatly increased. In the end, he forcefully broke Tong Xiang's leg, causing him to bleed to death. This means that Wu Chengyu himself should have exhausted his internal energy and was completely worn out.

So now he had to pretend to be exhausted. He bent over and vigorously massaged his legs to show that his legs were also badly injured.

Those outside the venue were also very surprised. From the perspective of Ronghua Club, the previous arrangements were enough to kill Wu Chengyu, but unexpectedly, he still managed to break through the situation with great force.

But seeing his current disheveled state, people would only assume that they had underestimated Wu Chengyu before, and that Wu Chengyu had reached his limit. No one thought that Wu Chengyu was hiding more strength.

As for the Yangwu Guild, Princess Yuzhu was cheering. After seeing Tongxiang take the medicine, she thought Wu Chengyu was bound to lose, but unexpectedly, her side won.

As far as this arena match is concerned, Wu Chengyu has completely exceeded her expectations and has completed the mission perfectly. He should be too exhausted to fight anymore.

Princess Yuzhu immediately signaled for Wu Qianyu to leave the arena and replace Wu Chengyu. However, the leader of the Ronghua Guild, Ma Bengang, the headless devil, jumped into the arena first. Without saying a word, he rushed towards Wu Chengyu and quickly drew his sword, aiming for Wu Chengyu's neck.

The man had two black goose-feather sabers on his back, clearly not ordinary weapons. He had only drawn one of them, but he was using the techniques of a fast saber.

"Wait, my Yangwu Martial Arts Association is sending someone else to fight."

"The competition has already begun. No substitutions are allowed midway. A winner must be determined."

Unsurprisingly, Yangwu Guild Hall was targeted again. Wu Chengyu was somewhat puzzled as to why the emperor would target Yangwu Guild Hall in this way, but he didn't have time to think about it further.

His current feigned state was definitely not suitable for a direct confrontation with this beheading demon, so he hurriedly used his lightness skill to avoid the decapitation strike, while seemingly struggling to move around the area and avoid its sharp edge.

The best course of action now is to admit defeat. In everyone's eyes, Wu Chengyu has already fulfilled his mission to the fullest extent. Admitting defeat is not shameful, but rather a matter of course.

But Wu Chengyu had long since added this beheaded devil to his kill list. This was a bandit who had been ravaging the border between Western Xia and Southern Song for many years. His title of "beheaded devil" was earned by the deaths of countless Han people, so how could he be let go?

The beheading ghost's blade moved with lightning speed and extreme ruthlessness. His attacks were clean and efficient, each strike aimed at Wu Chengyu's neck, and his speed increased with each strike. This fighting style was clearly the result of countless battles and experiences.

There's a reason why he was able to replace Huo Gong Toutuo as the new leader of Ronghua Guild Hall. On the surface, even if Wu Chengyu were at his best, he shouldn't be a match for him.

The only drawback was that his lightness skill was slightly weaker than Wu Chengyu's, which allowed Wu Chengyu to maneuver around him.

While dodging, Wu Chengyu pondered how to kill his opponent without revealing his strength. His seemingly exhausted body was in grave danger from his opponent's swordsmanship, but he always managed to evade at the last second.

After seven or eight unsuccessful strikes, the beheading ghost temporarily halted his attack. His eyes were still fixed on Wu Chengyu's neck, and he drew a second knife from his back. The second knife was slightly shorter and a few inches wider than the first, and its blade was serrated.

The two knives were held in one hand upright and the other in the other, their dark blades gleaming coldly, with what appeared to be traces of dark blood on the edges.

Anyone capable of wielding such a weapon must be a top-tier swordsman. Seeing this, Wu Chengyu became more cautious. Even when pretending to be weak, one must always be vigilant, or one will truly become a pig.

The beheading demon raised his twin blades, his eyes filled with madness as he looked at Wu Chengyu. A murderous intent surged from his body, and a sinister smile played on his lips, as if he were looking at a dead man: "You should be proud that I've drawn my twin blades. It's a pity you're too ugly; this head isn't worth keeping."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his right foot and stomped down suddenly. He rushed towards Wu Chengyu like an arrow released from a bow. His speed was much faster than before, and he arrived in front of Wu Chengyu in the blink of an eye.

He gripped the short sword in his left hand, bent his arm, and thrust it directly at Wu Chengyu's heart. Meanwhile, the long sword in his right hand drew an arc in the air, still aiming for Wu Chengyu's neck. Not only was his attack speed faster, but there seemed to be an inexplicable connection between the two swords, as if they could accelerate each other.

He took a step forward, instantly accelerated, and swung his sword straight down, attacking directly in front of him, locking onto his target. He completely disregarded defense, and one strike could decide life or death. Wu Chengyu thought he had encountered a forward slash.

He was also startled at this moment; the speed of this attack alone was almost comparable to that of Guihua.

Wu Chengyu originally had countless ways to deal with the beheaded ghost, but he couldn't use any of them now. However, his reaction was always the fastest. He reached his hands behind his waist, and the Black and White Impermanence immediately grabbed them.

With his right hand, Black Impermanence locked onto the opponent's piercing blade, while with his left hand, White Impermanence raised it to block the long blade aimed at his neck.

A spark flashed, accompanied by a screeching sound, and Wu Chengyu finally managed to block the two blows in time. At the same time, he used the momentum to float backward, quickly creating distance. His left hand, Black Impermanence, was also thrown out, aiming straight for the opponent's head.

At the same time, Wu Chengyu felt a bit suspicious. The feeling when their weapons clashed was strange. It seemed that there was a force pulling his Black and White Impermanence along with the opponent's blade. If the Black and White Impermanence hadn't been firmly held in his hands, they might have even lost control. At the same time, there was also a pull between the opponent's two blades, but the opponent seemed to have a way to control this pull.

However, there was no time to analyze it now. Without revealing his full strength, the only method Wu Chengyu could use was the Black and White Impermanence. His Black Impermanence spun rapidly in the air, drawing an arc to attack the Headless Ghost.

The decapitated ghost sneered and slashed fiercely with his short sword in his left hand, instantly sending Black Impermanence flying. Wu Chengyu used his usual fighting style and lightness skill to try to catch Black Impermanence, but found that Black Impermanence's flight trajectory had changed. If Wu Chengyu hadn't changed direction in time, Black Impermanence would have almost escaped his control.

In the Hidden Dragon Cave, Wu Chengyu painstakingly studied how to use the Black and White Impermanence. He could instantly predict the trajectory of the opponent's heavy blade as it came down, and he never missed. But now, unexpectedly, something has happened.

Wu Chengyu squinted at the pair of goose-feather sabers in the other's hand. Now he was certain that there was something strange about these sabers; there was an inexplicable connection between the two.

The beheading ghost sneered again, took another step forward, and launched a rapid attack. Wu Chengyu was already on guard and quickly dodged. He had also seen the weakness of the beheading ghost's move.

While rapidly increasing its speed in a sudden attack, it lacks variety and seems to be limited to moving in a straight line. If this weakness is exploited, the "Decapitation Ghost" move will be useless against it.

But the biggest problem is that the martial arts he's currently displaying can only be used for dodging; it seems that the Black and White Impermanence are being countered by the opponent's twin swords.

However, Wu Chengyu still wanted to give it a try. He kept circling around the headless ghost in the arena, and his Black and White Impermanence swords shot out one after another. The headless ghost's twin swords were made of extraordinary materials and were not afraid of Wu Chengyu's Black and White Impermanence swords. His swordsmanship also mastered the key points of speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. He blocked every attack of the Black and White Impermanence swords.

Each time the attack was blocked, the trajectory of the Black and White Impermanence changed, forcing Wu Chengyu to make careful judgments and constantly accelerate in order to maintain control over them.

At this moment, the situation was deadlocked, with neither side able to gain the upper hand. The biggest problem was that Wu Chengyu, having gone through two fierce battles, seemed to have little physical strength and internal energy left, making it difficult for him to sustain the fight.

Wu Chengyu narrowed his eyes and once again unleashed the Black and White Impermanence. This time, they attacked simultaneously. The Black and White Impermanence drew beautiful arcs in the air and automatically collided with each other when they reached a meter in front of the headless ghost, before suddenly changing direction.

One blade cleaved towards the face of the beheaded demon, while the other spun rapidly upwards, drilling straight into the demon's crotch.

The beheaded ghost remained calm and composed. He also exerted all his strength, channeling all his inner power into the two swords in his hands. Suddenly, the two goose-feather swords emitted a dark light, and the inexplicable connection between the two swords was immediately strengthened.

There seemed to be an invisible force field on the knife, which trapped the Black and White Impermanence, who were less than a foot away from him and still spinning at high speed, in mid-air. No matter how the opponent spun, it could not move forward an inch.

A cruel smile appeared on his face, as if to say that he had finally cracked Wu Chengyu's two strange weapons, and that Wu Chengyu would have no room to resist anymore.

Suddenly, Wu Chengyu picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and threw it rapidly at the headless ghost. This was a piece of gravel that had been kicked and broken during his fight with Tongxiang.

The speed of the shattered stones was extremely fast, and the target was not the beheaded ghost, but the Black Impermanence who was pinned in the air by the beheaded ghost and whose rotation was getting slower and slower.

The strange force field of the two bizarre goose-feather knives wielded by the decapitated ghost could trap the Black and White Impermanence, but it had no effect on the broken stones.

The Black Impermanence, struck by the shattered stones, finally broke free from the control of the invisible force field and fell downwards. It happened to intersect with the White Impermanence, as if it had transferred its power to the White Impermanence. The White Impermanence's slowed rotation speed immediately increased, and it also broke free from the control of the Headless Ghost's twin blades.

This time, the decapitated ghost had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as the White Impermanence spun rapidly, burrowing into his abdomen from his lower body and then bursting out of his back.

"You, how could you?"

"I've really seen something new today. I don't know what strange material you mixed into these two goose feather sabers, but they have the effect of magnets. And I don't know what method you used to control the magnetism on the two sabers."

When you attack an enemy, you can use this magnetism to make your swordsmanship unpredictable and often catch them off guard. It can also interfere with the opponent's weapon.

This is the real reason why you have dominated the border between Xia and Song, killed countless people, and remained undefeated.

Actually, you should have noticed just now that your magnetic force has only a moderate effect on my Black and White Impermanence. Otherwise, you would have been able to control my weapons when the weapons clashed at the beginning, instead of just knocking them away.

Only when you unleash your full power can you immobilize my weapons. Unfortunately, no matter how strong the magnetism on these two blades is, it has no effect on the stone. As for my later techniques, they are my closely guarded secrets.

"Now it seems my method is far superior to yours; you can die now."
