However, the powerful force carried by the gravel made his right arm go numb.
Without pausing for breath, as the "Flame Blade" burned the poison powder, Jiang Sishui's longsword struck the ground, her feet barely touching the ground. With the agility and speed of a gliding swallow, she rushed close to Murong Fu.
"Sword-crushing style!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body, enveloped in sword light, spun rapidly around Murong Fu like a top, unleashing a flurry of attacks.
The sword's momentum was like the ocean tide, one wave higher and stronger than the next.
In an instant, Murong Fu felt as if he were in a vortex of sword blades, a chill running through his entire body, as if every inch of his skin was covered by a sword's edge.
The moment the sword tears through his skin, he will be slowly sliced to death!
Murong Fu was greatly alarmed.
Jiang Sishui's swordsmanship was indeed superb, but it was all about using stillness to control movement, striking first after the opponent has moved, and turning the passive situation into the active one.
But now he has begun to take the initiative to attack, his offensive sharp and swift, like a sudden storm, so oppressive that it's hard to breathe.
The sudden change in swordplay caught Murong Fu off guard, leaving him momentarily unable to grasp the opponent's sword technique.
However, Murong Fu was no pushover either; he was also a seasoned veteran and remained calm despite the initial shock.
"Dragon City Sword Technique!"
He immediately unleashed the Murong family's ancestral sword technique, each move flowing continuously like clouds and water. In an instant, his entire body was enveloped in a curtain of light.
The "ding-ding" sound rang out continuously, the sounds blending together like rain pattering on banana leaves, never ceasing.
"Your swordsmanship is not bad, but it's a pity you haven't mastered it."
Although the "Crushing Sword Style" failed to break through Murong Fu's sword barrier defense, the powerful force of the sword had already cracked Murong Fu's tiger's mouth, and blood kept flowing from his right palm.
At this moment, Kumārajīva also burned all the poison powder and leaped over. Seeing that Murong Fu was in a critical situation, he unleashed a series of palm strikes.
Twelve "Flaming Blade" strikes were aimed at Jiang Sishui. The sudden depletion of so much true energy caused Kumārajīva's face to turn pale.
The "flaming blades" formed a curtain of blades, blocking all directions and giving Jiang Sishui no chance to dodge.
Jiang Sishui stopped spinning and instead of retreating, advanced, lunging at Kumārajīva while unleashing a flurry of sword flowers.
"Sword-raising style!"
With a series of swift thrusts of the sword tip, the "flaming blade energy" was sliced open as if it were a tangible substance, and then extinguished under the onslaught of Jiang Sishui's powerful true energy...
Jiang Sishui moved with the grace of a dragon, rising into the air, flipping over in mid-air, and swooping down headfirst.
"Breaking Sword Style!"
The longsword danced swiftly, twice as fast as before, its light enveloping both Kumārajīva and the furious Murong Fu who had pursued him.
Despite having no weapon in hand, Kumārajīva remained completely fearless. His ten fingers moved rapidly, unleashing a torrent of energy that surged upwards, colliding repeatedly with the sword light.
This is the Shaolin's ultimate technique, "Daluoye Finger," which is extremely powerful. When used by Kumārajīva, it can even pierce through metal!
If Jiang Sishui's longsword hadn't been infused with true energy, it would have been broken long ago.
It is evident that although the "Nine Swords of Dugu" is said to be unrestrained by internal energy, it is limited by realm and cannot be applied to those at the Grandmaster level or above.
For example, if Jiang Sishui were replaced by Zhao Qiying, with her Grandmaster level cultivation, Kumārajīva could shatter her longsword with a single finger.
Without her sword, how could she wield the "Nine Swords of Dugu"?
When they face a Grandmaster again, they will be powerless to resist.
The reason why Zhao Qiying was able to fight Duan Yanqing without being defeated was twofold: firstly, Duan Yanqing was not as good as Kumārajīva, and secondly, "One-Finger Divine Skill" was not a finger technique primarily focused on lethality.
Kumārajīva was able to withstand Jiang Sishui's swordsmanship head-on, but Murong Fu was not so fortunate.
A flash of sword light streaked past, ripping off his hairband and causing his long hair to explode. Murong 3.7 staggered backward, looking utterly disheveled.
Jiang Sishui did not continue the pursuit, but instead shifted the battlefield, using the momentum to leap towards Ding Chunqiu.
Ding Chunqiu's martial arts skills were superior to Su Xinghe's, and he also possessed a mastery of poisons. In the original novel, Su Xinghe died from Ding Chunqiu's "Three Laughs of Carefree Powder".
Jiang Sishui naturally did not want to see this happen.
At this moment, Ding Chunqiu and Su Xinghe were pushing each other away from a pillar of fire, competing in internal strength. When Jiang Sishui suddenly appeared, he was not surprised but delighted.
"I've been waiting for you!"
Ding Chunqiu's eyes gleamed with excitement as he pointed his left sleeve at Jiang Sishui and clapped his right hand quickly!
The spring snapped, and at the same time, twenty-seven silver nails shot towards Jiang Sishui with great force.
"Rain of Pear Blossom Needles! Die, you brat!"
Ding Chunqiu sidestepped the pillar of fire that Su Xinghe had sent flying, and unable to suppress his excitement, he roared out.
082 Tang Bohu's sixth act was to exterminate them all!
A torrential downpour of pear blossom needles?!
Upon hearing Ding Chunqiu's shout, the assembled heroes were startled and alarmed.
This is a hidden weapon that is on par with the "Heavenly Annihilation and Earthly Destruction Bone-Piercing Heart-Piercing Needle," and it also has a glorious record of shooting down celestial beings!
However, this kind of hidden weapon disappeared after its brief appearance back then. It was unexpected that Ding Chunqiu would have such a vicious weapon in his possession.
No wonder he was so confident when facing Jiang Sishui; it turns out he had such a powerful reliance on her.
Perhaps Ding Chunqiu has been waiting for an opportunity all along?
Once he seizes the opportunity and unleashes the "Rain of Pear Blossom Needles," even if Jiang Sishui is a late-stage Grandmaster, he will still die, even if he is a Celestial Being!
Because the needles had already been coated with a deadly poison by Ding Chunqiu.
Just as everyone had the same thought that Jiang Sishui was about to fall into a trap, he avoided it in advance.
Having avoided nearly twenty silver nails, the remaining ones that could not be avoided were pierced with a "piercing arrow" technique.
The reason he was able to avoid it was not because the "Rain of Pear Blossom Needles" was overrated, nor because the "Lingbo Steps" were too powerful; the key was that he "preempted" it!
In fact, during his battles with Murong Fu and Kumārajīva, "Cicada Awareness" was always able to sense Ding Chunqiu's intense malice, even more so than anyone else.
Jiang27 Sishui was a little confused at the time: You were fighting Su Xinghe, not me, so why are you still thinking about me?
As soon as this thought arose, Jiang Sishui couldn't help but recall Ding Chunqiu's confident demeanor, and immediately became wary.
Ding Chunqiu wasn't stupid. Knowing the difference in their levels of cultivation, he still dared to act so arrogantly, as if he were completely fearless.
He must have something to rely on!
Based on Ding Chunqiu's behavior, Jiang Sishui came to a conclusion: This old cunning bastard is trying to scheme against me!
Therefore, although Jiang Sishui seemed to be coming in a fierce manner, she had actually made preparations in secret.
Seeing Ding Chunqiu reach out with his right hand to pat his left sleeve, he didn't hesitate and immediately started backing away.
The reason why hidden weapons are called hidden weapons is that they can only be used for surprise attacks in the dark. Once they are displayed in the open, or if the opponent is prepared in advance, their effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Jiang Sishui easily defused Ding Chunqiu's long-planned killing move.
This scene was undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations, and all the heroes were astonished.
"Good lad, you're quite clever!" Huang Yaoshi praised without reservation, his eyes full of admiration.
Putting himself in his shoes, he knew he absolutely couldn't avoid this attack.
It was precisely because Jiang Sishui was something he could not do that Huang Yaoshi admired her so much.
Huang Rong felt relieved.
Watching Jiang Sishui effortlessly battle three masters with a single longsword, gaining the upper hand and even dodging Ding Chunqiu's fatal blow, I couldn't help but feel my heart flutter.
The crowd was stunned, and Ding Chunqiu himself was even more dumbfounded. The reality was far from what he had expected, so much so that he couldn't help but lose his composure during the battle.
Jiang Sishui didn't stop to give him a chance to adjust. Her sword flashed, and she gathered three layers of strength before leaping into the air and sweeping her sword horizontally!
"Wave Sword Style!"
In an instant, a sword aura visible to the naked eye swept out in a crescent shape, directly enveloping Ding Chunqiu.
A sharp gust of wind rushed towards him, and Ding Chunqiu felt a stinging sensation on his face. He quickly retreated while waving his feather fan to counter the sword strike.
However, the sword energy did not dissipate after it struck down. Two other layers of sword energy hidden behind it erupted, just like the "mushroom cloud" in the previous life, and exploded instantly!
Caught off guard, Ding Chunqiu felt as if he were surrounded by a vast ocean of sword energy, and could only release his true qi to protect himself.
Even so, his wide robes and sleeves were torn to shreds, his body was covered in bloodstains, and his silver hair and beard were cut into weeds, no longer resembling his former otherworldly demeanor.
Ding Chunqiu was terrified. Although his face was covered in blood and he looked miserable, he didn't expect to get revenge today.
Seeing that Kumārajīva had entangled Jiang Sishui, Ding Chunqiu turned and ran.
As for Murong Fu, after Jiang Sishui severed his hair tie with a single sword strike, he didn't make another move. He stood there stunned, lost in thought.
Tang Bohu, who was watching from the sidelines, saw Ding Chunqiu trying to escape and his eyes lit up. He then slipped behind Zhu Zhishan.
"Stay here! You can use this to your advantage!"
Tang Bohu struck with his palm, the force of which crossed Zhu Zhishan in the middle and blasted Ding Chunqiu directly into the sky!
Shen Lang, Zhu Zhishan, and the other two turned to look at Tang Bohu.
Tang Bohu clapped his hands and said calmly, "A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years; a talented man's revenge is troublesome even in one night."
With this delay, Jiang Sishui used the force of her palm strike against Kumārajīva to fly backward and leap towards Ding Chunqiu.
