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

Chapter 545 Black and White Impermanence Battle the Jade Flute

As soon as Wu Chengyu finished speaking, the Black and White Impermanence hanging above his head immediately began to spin faster, transforming into two streaks of light, one black and one white, that flew rapidly toward Huang Yaoshi. The energy generated by their high-speed rotation made a whistling sound in the surrounding air.

Wu Chengyu's method of controlling the Black and White Impermanence has now changed from "Shifting Stars" to "Unwavering Soul-Guiding Threads." As long as the internal force, which has been turbocharged, is attached to the Black and White Impermanence, they can rotate and fly autonomously.

The flight direction is entirely controlled by the Soul-Guiding Silk. Whenever the energy on it is exhausted, it can be replenished by the Soul-Guiding Silk. Theoretically speaking, as long as Hei Bai Wuchang does not leave the vicinity of Wu Chengyu by more than 100 meters and his own internal energy is not exhausted, Hei Bai Wuchang can continue flying indefinitely.

The moment the Black and White Impermanence approached Huang Yaoshi and launched their attack, the whistling sound vanished instantly, and the specially made holes on the Black and White Impermanence began to undergo subtle changes at high speed.

First, a sound that made one's eardrums almost burst, like the scraping of metal, lingered around Huang Yaoshi, but this sound all came from Bai Wuchang.

No matter how fast Black Impermanence spins, the holes on it can eliminate all the sound of air friction, making it silent. Under the cover of White Impermanence's howling, its attack leaves no trace.

If used in the darkness of night, the White Impermanence can deceive people, while the Black Impermanence can carry out a covert assassination, further enhancing the weapon's lethality.

Under Wu Chengyu's control, the flight trajectories of the two Qiankun Rings became unpredictable, appearing in front one moment and behind the next, not following a normal elliptical trajectory. Sometimes they accelerated, sometimes they twisted and turned, making full use of the power of Baihong Palm.

Moreover, each time the two Qiankun Rings approach each other, they either suddenly move closer under an invisible force without completely closing, or they separate instantly, each going its own way, making perfect use of their own magnetic power.

This agile, unpredictable, and completely unpredictable weapon, which can be used in combination with other weapons, can use sound to stimulate the enemy, and is itself unstoppable, has only been used to bully weaker opponents since Wu Chengyu fully mastered it. This is the first time that it has fully unleashed its power.

As the Black and White Impermanence launched their fierce attack on Huang Yaoshi, Huang Yaoshi was immediately put on the defensive. He had never heard of such a peculiar attack method before, and at first he could only avoid their sharp edge.

The lightness skill of Peach Blossom Island is mainly characterized by agility and lightness. It is not particularly outstanding in terms of long-distance running or wall climbing. However, it allows one to change body shape at will within a small space.

The White Impermanence transformed into a chilling white light, like a soul-snatching chain from the underworld, accompanied by a sonic boom that pierced eardrums, and suddenly appeared in Huang Yaoshi's blind spot, shooting towards him at an incredible speed.

Almost at the same time as the whistling sound, another, even deeper and more eerie dark light appeared. Black Impermanence, like a venomous snake blending into the night, moved silently along the ground without making a sound, aiming straight for Huang Yaoshi's lower ankle!

One bright, one dark; one loud, one silent—they worked together seamlessly, instantly sealing off Huang Yaoshi's escape routes.

Huang Yaoshi stood proudly on the spot, his body motionless, yet it seemed as if he had already anticipated it. This was the ability to anticipate the enemy's moves after entering the realm of subtlety. No matter how many changes the flight trajectory of the Black and White Impermanence made, they could not eliminate the gas flow caused by their own changes.

Just as the Black and White Impermanence were about to strike, Huang Yaoshi lightly touched the ground with his left foot, and his body, like a willow catkin blown by a gentle breeze, gracefully drifted back half a step in an unnatural arc, perfectly avoiding the Black Impermanence's fatal cut to his lower body.

At the same time, the seemingly fragile jade flute in his hand transformed into a streak of emerald light, slashing upwards with perfect precision.

Ding! A clear, crisp sound, like jade striking each other!
The jade flute struck with pinpoint accuracy the inside of the rapidly spinning blade of the White Impermanence, precisely the weak point in the transmission of its power.

A pure and refined force emanated from the jade flute, forcefully pushing the powerful and ear-piercing White Impermanence away by about a foot.

At the same time, the holes in the jade flute also emitted a whistling sound when it was swung. This whistling sound was deep and heavy, which immediately canceled out the sharp whistling sound that Bai Wuchang brought with him, and also made Bai Wuchang's mind-disturbing sonic attack pause.

However, the White Impermanence that was swept away did not fall out of control. Instead, it used the force to draw a strange arc in the air and circled around Huang Yaoshi's flank again.

Even more terrifying, just as the silent Black Impermanence was about to pass by Huang Yaoshi's feet, it was remotely controlled by Wu Chengyu. Its body flashed with a ghostly light and was suddenly pulled up by an invisible magnetic force, like a ghost rising from below and stabbing straight into Huang Yaoshi's back.

This sudden change in tactics, using magnetic traction, was completely unexpected, three times faster, and extremely insidious.

Surrounded by two circles, Huang Yaoshi felt the strong winds approaching. It was as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and his feet moved with mysterious and unpredictable footwork—sometimes like stepping through the Nine Palaces, with each step like a lotus flower blooming; sometimes like a ghost moving, leaving a faint afterimage.

Wu Chengyu had also studied combined attack formations, and immediately recognized that Huang Yaoshi's footwork at this moment, while maintaining agility, incorporated the art of divination, making his movements ethereal and illusory, and even had a hint of the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).

His body spun like a top in the small space, and as his green robe fluttered, at the critical moment, the Black Impermanence's deadly backstab grazed his clothes, and the sharp wind tore a small hole in his sleeve.

Huang Yaoshi felt a chill run down his spine. The attacks of the Black and White Impermanence were like a gazelle leaping off a cliff, and even those at the Subtle Realm would find it difficult to react in time. He had already been slightly at a disadvantage in the previous exchange.

Huang Yaoshi could only dodge and parry at this point, but the way to break the deadlock was simple: fight the weapon from a distance, as it was a major taboo to be unable to attack the weapon's owner.

If Huang Yaoshi were to rush to Wu Chengyu's side at this moment, Wu Chengyu's Black and White Impermanence would not be able to perform so freely at close range.

However, he was too proud. To him, Wu Chengyu would always be a junior. Since it was supposed to be a weapon contest, he had to suppress the pair of Qiankun Rings before attacking Wu Chengyu, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage.

Wu Chengyu focused all his efforts on controlling the Black and White Impermanence, while inwardly telling Huang Yaoshi that he was lucky.

If Huang Yaoshi's weapon were not a jade flute, but any other metal-supported weapon, it would inevitably be controlled by this magnetic force.

Fortunately, the jade flute's whistling sound could cancel out the sonic waves from the white Qiankun Ring. Without these sonic waves surrounding him, Huang Yaoshi's subtle perception was less disturbed, which allowed him to anticipate opportunities every time.

Most importantly, the jade flute was made of an unknown type of jade, and after being struck several times by the Black and White Impermanence, it remained undamaged.

If it weren't for this jade flute, Huang Yaoshi would have suffered far more than just a torn garment in their exchange. Each with their own plans, their attacks became even more ferocious.

White Impermanence whistles and circles, constantly creating noise to disturb the mind, its attack trajectory wide and sweeping, its momentum terrifying; Black Impermanence, on the other hand, appears and disappears like a ghost, sometimes moving swiftly close to the ground, sometimes circling around the body, using magnetic force to perform unbelievable short-distance trajectory changes and accelerations, each silent attack aimed at Huang Yaoshi's vital points.

Huang Yaoshi remained calm and composed, but his jade flute moved with incredible speed and precision, revealing his mastery of the Jade Flute Sword Technique.

The jade flute was no longer a musical instrument, but had transformed into a bladeless jade sword. Its moves seemed effortless, consisting of pointing, flicking, plucking, slicing, and guiding.

The movements were graceful and elegant, with a rhythmic beauty, yet they always arrived first despite being behind, in the blink of an eye amidst the flowing blue light.

They could either lightly tap White Impermanence's circle to break his whistling force, or cleverly deflect him, using his rotational force to lead him aside, or precisely parry Black Impermanence's silent sneak attack, producing a dull impact.

Huang Yaoshi's figure constantly darted and shifted within the death storm formed by the black and white double circles, his footwork being extremely profound.

Sometimes he steps on the Bagua directions, his figure like smoke and mist; sometimes he lightly touches his toes, using the force to fly, like a banished immortal descending to earth.

No matter how unpredictable the double-circle trajectory was, or how unexpected the magnetic pull was, he could always avoid fatal attacks by the slightest margin with his extraordinary prediction and mysterious footwork, while using the jade flute to construct a seemingly weak but actually extremely tough defensive net.

At this point in the battle, neither Huang Yaoshi nor Wu Chengyu could gain the upper hand in the short term, so they had no intention of continuing the fight and unleashed their strongest attacks.

The Black and White Impermanence, which were rapidly circling in the air, suddenly stopped, their bodies radiating a bright, eerie light, and a powerful, invisible magnetic force erupted between them.

White Impermanence was suddenly pulled toward Black Impermanence, while Black Impermanence used the force to move at an even more terrifying speed, like a death lightning bolt that merged black and white, accompanied by a sudden burst of eerie sonic boom that mixed shrieks and deathly silence, shooting straight toward Huang Yaoshi's face.

A strong wind swept over us, and the aura of death instantly enveloped us.

Huang Yaoshi's eyes narrowed, and he finally stopped just dodging and blocking. He let out a clear whistle, which sounded like a phoenix's cry, piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks, and even subtly overpowered Bai Wuchang's whistle.

He took the most profound step, his body advancing instead of retreating, and turned slightly to the side. At the same time, he poured all his life's power into the jade flute in his hand, which transformed into a condensed emerald rainbow. Instead of blocking, he thrust it straight at the core node of the black and white light cluster that had merged with magnetic force and killing intent!
The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the emerald light flowing from the jade flute and the eerie glow emanating from the Black and White Impermanence rings in a silent and fierce battle.

"Clang!!!" A crisp sound of metal clashing against metal rang out, a brief sound that made everyone's heartbeats seem to stop for a moment.

Huang Yaoshi retreated swiftly, leaving the encirclement of Hei Wuchang. He still maintained the demeanor of a master, except that he held the jade flute behind his back in his right hand, and his wrist trembled slightly.

The Black and White Impermanence finally lost control and flew far away at an angle. The collision just now had shattered all the soul-guiding threads that Wu Chengyu was attached to the Black and White Impermanence.

As the battle ended, Wu Chengyu waved his hand and used the Soul-Guiding Silk to pull back the Black and White Impermanence once more. The two Qiankun Rings seemed to have regained their life, flying back in arcs to the left and right, and finally disappearing into Wu Chengyu's waist.

"Island Master Huang, how about we call this battle a draw?"

"My jade flute had an advantage; otherwise, it would have been interfered with by your pair of unusual weapons. I should have lost this battle."

Your Qiankun Ring technique is unbelievable. It seems that there is an unseen power attached to the Qiankun Ring, so that you can still control it after it leaves your hand. There are also invisible forces like silk threads that you can control at any time. What a wonderful technique, what a magical skill.

"I have no idea what kind of technique this is. I've seen countless divine skills in my life, but I've never imagined that one could manipulate internal energy like this. I'm utterly impressed."

"Thank you for your praise, Master Huang. It's rare to hear someone as proud as you say something convincing."

Speaking of this technique, it's a fusion of the essence of several unique skills, but its fundamental mental principle is a technique called "Shifting Stars and Changing Positions."

"The shifting of stars and the changing of seasons is truly unheard of. I wonder which school or sect it comes from?" Huang Yaoshi asked, his eyes filled with doubt. He had never heard of such a technique before.

Ultimately, he rose from humble beginnings, with no remarkable lineage or records from the Beggars' Sect. Hong Qigong could recognize the "Star Shift" technique at a glance, but Wu Chengyu simply stated the name, and he still had no idea.

"This kung fu emphasizes using the opponent's own methods against them, controlling the opponent's moves and strength with the force field of the whole body. As for which school or sect it belongs to, it is a unique skill passed down in my family."

It comes from a secret manual left by my mother; in other words, this set of skills can also be considered my aunt's family martial arts.

However, my mother, my aunt, and their ancestors didn't like martial arts, which is why it ended up in my hands.

Huang Yaoshi narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself, "It turns out to be Heng'er's family martial arts. I never knew she came from a martial arts family until today."

Wu Chengyu had only used the Black and White Impermanence techniques to fight each other from a distance, and he felt it was not enough. In the world, the only one who could fight him and whose martial arts were diverse and innovative was Huang Yaoshi.

"My family's martial arts skills are not limited to these. I have long heard that the Finger Flicking Skill is the number one skill of Peach Blossom Island. I saw Brother Mofeng use it a few times a few days ago, but I didn't understand it."

Today, let me experience the power of the Finger Flicking Technique using my family's inherited "Combined Finger Flicking" skill.
