Chapter 88 This is too much!

Yin Moli frowned as he watched Xu Zhang die tragically. Anger surged in his heart, but he felt a greater sense of solemnity in the face of a powerful enemy.

However, in the brief moment when Yin Moli dodged to the side, Chen Yue's figure suddenly appeared right in front of him, following closely behind Xu Zhang's flying corpse.

Without any words or preparation, Chen Yue's longsword, freshly wielded and gleaming with a chilling light, transformed into a straight silver line and slashed down directly at him.

The sword strike was simple, direct, and swift, yet it blocked Yin Moli's space to dodge left and right.

"So fast!"

Yin Moli felt a chill run down his spine. The opponent's tactics and speed in seizing the gap in his dodge to launch a close-range attack were in no way inferior to some Marrow Refining Realm martial artists who were known for their speed.

But Yin Moli is not someone to be trifled with.

Faced with this sudden slash, Yin Moli's body seemed weightless, drifting backward with the wind from the blade. At the same time, his right wrist, which was holding the sword, suddenly twitched and flicked at an odd angle.

"call out!"

The slender, dark blue sword flew out of his hand and stabbed at Chen Yue's face with a speed even faster than Yin Moli's retreat.

Behind the sword, a thin, transparent line shimmering with metallic luster could be vaguely seen. One end was connected to a hidden clasp at the end of the hilt, while the other end was tightly wrapped around Yin Moli's right wrist.

Yin-Yang Sword!

This was Yin Moli's trump card, a strange sword technique at the Refining Realm level, which he had already cultivated to perfection.

The core of this sword technique lies in the word "leaving the hand." By combining specially made silkworm silk with internal energy, one can control the long sword to attack within a range of about ten feet, as if it were an extension of one's arm.

Its angles are unpredictable and its speed is incredibly fast, making it impossible to defend against.

With this sword technique, combined with his top-notch lightness skill, Yin Moli was rarely matched in the Marrow Refining Realm, and his own cultivation had already touched the threshold of the Dirty Refining Realm.

This blood sacrifice is intended to use the immense blood energy gathered from it to break through the barriers and enter the realm of purification.

"clang!"

With a loud clang of metal clashing, Chen Yue's longsword struck precisely the spine of the flying sword.

The immense force cleaved the azure longsword aside, causing it to tremble violently and emit a groaning sound.

Missing his first strike, Yin Moli flicked his wrist, pulling back the thin thread. The cleaved longsword drew an arc in the air, bypassing Chen Yue's parrying longsword. The tip of the sword trembled and once again stabbed towards Chen Yue's temple.

He relied on the longer attack range and unpredictable changes of the sword to suppress Chen Yue outside the sword's edge and ultimately kill him with a single blow.

Combined with his elusive and agile movements, ordinary cultivators in the Marrow Refining Realm often meet their demise before they can even touch the hem of his clothes.

Faced with the flying sword attacking again, Chen Yue's eyes remained calm, and he quietly activated the Mind Cultivation Technique to its current maximum.

In an instant, the lightning-fast sword light and the subtle tremors of the thin line seemed to slow down in Chen Yue's eyes.

In the next instant, Chen Yue took two quick steps forward, his body darting forward like lightning. At the same time, his left hand spread its five fingers wide, directly grabbing the dark blue sword blade that was piercing his temple.

They were actually going to use their flesh and blood to confront the sharp blade head-on.

"Um?"

A fierce glint flashed in Yin Moli's eyes, and he was filled with surprise and doubt.

Unless one is a madman in dire straits, or arrogantly confident in their external martial arts skills, no one would try to grab the sharp tip of a sword infused with the internal energy of a peak-level Marrow Refining Realm cultivator with their bare hands.

The young man in front of them had just cleanly and decisively killed Xu Zhang, and was in high spirits. He didn't seem like someone who was desperate and taking a gamble.

"There's a problem!"

Yin Moli was extremely experienced in combat and made a judgment in an instant.

No matter what the opponent relies on, he will never let them get close easily. With a flick of his wrist, the thin thread quickly retracted, and the thrusting longsword was pulled back as if by an invisible hand. With a flash of sword light, it was about to retreat to a safe distance.

While Yin Moli's Yin-Yang Separate Hand Sword is indeed unpredictable and difficult to defend against, it also has its weaknesses. It relies too much on the control of the thin thread. Once the opponent grabs the sword or the thread, or if you are entangled in close combat, its power will be greatly reduced.

Yin Moli is always cautious and would never give his opponent such an opportunity.

However, his act of sheathing his sword seemed to have been exactly what Chen Yue had anticipated.

Just as the longsword was retracting, Chen Yue immediately released his grip on the knife.

The longsword that had just severed Xu Zhang's weapon transformed into a streak of cold light, flying out of his hand like a powerful arrow shot from a strong bow, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and aimed straight at Yin Moli's chest.

Chen Yue himself followed closely behind the flying blades, lunging forward as if in a shadow.

Voluntarily discard the weapon!

Yin Moli was truly caught off guard. He could clearly see that this junior did not have any control devices such as silkworm silk on his wrist. Once the knife left his hand, it would become a flying knife, and it would be extremely difficult to retrieve it as nimbly as his sword.

Is this junior cutting off his own arm, or does he have another deadly move?

The flying knife came too fast and too fiercely; Yin Moli didn't have time to dodge it completely.

"clang!"

In the rush, Yin Moli had no choice but to swing the longsword he had just retrieved and deflect the flying blade tip by striking its side.

The long sword spun and flew diagonally, embedding itself deeply into the earthen wall with a "thud," all the way down to the hilt.

However, the recoil from parrying the flying knife caused Yin Moli to pause slightly, giving him a momentary opening to catch his breath.

In the short time it took to eat that meal, Chen Yue's figure had already pressed up to him.

The distance between the two instantly closed to less than three feet, and Yin Moli could even see the icy killing intent in the other's eyes.

"call!"

Chen Yue unleashed his long-awaited right palm with a thunderous crash.

The muscles and bones resonated, and the air was compressed, producing a low, explosive sound. This was the Vajra Push Mountain, a powerful and heavy move from the Vajra Palm, aimed directly at Yin Moli's heart.

Yin Moli felt a surge of anger as he looked at Chen Yue's reaction, which seemed to have been planned all along. What made him even angrier was that the other party actually tried to use his bare hands to forcefully block his sword again.

A surge of anger, mixed with the humiliation of being tricked, rushed to Yin Moli's head.

"Arrogant brat!"

Yin Moli's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He shouted and unleashed his powerful inner strength, the peak of the Marrow Refining Realm, into the longsword in his hand. The dark blue blade emitted a sharp sword cry.

With a flick of his wrist, his longsword transformed into a blue fan-shaped light screen, slashing horizontally at Chen Yue's right palm and wrist as it struck out.

He wanted to sever the hand of this arrogant brat, along with his arrogance!

"clang!"

It wasn't the clang of metal against metal, but a much deeper, more muffled roar.

The anticipated scene of a severed hand and splattering blood did not occur.

In the reflection of Yin Moli's suddenly contracting pupils, one could see that where Chen Yue's palm touched the sword's edge, the layer of energy rippled violently, yet remained incredibly resilient, forcefully holding back the sword's edge, which was infused with his internal energy.

Not only that, but a terrifying force, like an overwhelming tidal wave, suddenly erupted from the palm and surged upwards along the sword.

"Well!"

Yin Moli felt a violent tremor in his right arm, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open, blood spurting out, and his five fingers went numb.

The longsword, which was connected to his mind and soul, almost flew out of his hand.

Yin Moli stumbled and involuntarily took two steps back, his blood and qi churning within him.

After deflecting the longsword, Chen Yue's right palm continued its momentum without diminishing, carrying the force of wind and thunder as it slammed into Yin Moli's vulnerable spot.

The palm strike pressed down so hard that Yin Moli's robes clung tightly to his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Is this internal energy?"

Yin Moli's heart was already in turmoil, filled with unbelievable absurdity and horror!

He could accept that the other party had innate superhuman strength, and he could also accept that someone in the Bone Forging Realm possessed the combat power of the Marrow Refining Realm, but what about the罡气 (罡气 is a type of internal energy/spirit)?

A junior from a tiny place has actually cultivated a protective aura that can only be condensed by cultivating the top-tier body-refining divine art to an extremely high level!

What exactly is this "罡气" (gang qi)?

Even among martial artists at the Refining Realm, a body-refining master who can cultivate Qi is definitely among the top in the same level and is a person who can dominate a region!

As it turns out, he actually saw Qi in a junior at the Bone Forging Realm.

Moreover, with Yin Moli's keen eyesight, he could clearly sense that this junior's internal energy was not as weak and scattered as it was at the beginning, but rather condensed, thick, and freely flowing.

Boundless apprehension and a hint of fear that he himself was unwilling to admit instantly overwhelmed Yin Moli.

He finally understood why Xu Zhang had been defeated so quickly and so miserably.

Facing a monster at the Bone Forging Realm who possesses罡气 (罡气 is a type of internal energy), the ordinary difference in cultivation level has been erased by the opponent's strange and powerful body tempering skills, and even surpassed.

Yin Moli's face suddenly turned an unnatural flush, and he forcibly activated a secret technique to unleash his potential at any cost.

Using the recoil from Chen Yue's palm strike on the sword, and activating his own secret technique, he retreated at an even faster speed than before.

However, when he wanted to back out, Chen Yue wouldn't give him the chance.

"Snapped!"

Chen Yue took a step forward, and the bluestone slab beneath his feet shattered with a crash. He unleashed the full power of his Cloud Thousand Steps, his figure closely following Yin Moli, who was retreating rapidly.

The two retreated and advanced, and the distance between them not only did not increase, but actually decreased rapidly.

Chen Yue raised his right palm again, his qi circulated, and he unleashed a powerful Vajra Palm strike, the palm wind enveloping several vital points on Yin Moli's upper body.

Backed into a corner, Yin Moli's eyes flashed with fierce light as he let out a hoarse shout: "Junior, you've gone too far!"

The dark blue longsword in Yin Moli's hand suddenly emitted a piercing buzzing sound as he frantically poured his inner energy into it.

With a thrust of the sword, the light and shadow distorted and split in two in an instant, turning into two identical longswords, one on the left and one on the right, respectively piercing Chen Yue's eyes and throat!

This is precisely the Yin-Yang Separation Sword's trump card, transforming the sword into Yin and Yang.

With its specially crafted blade and unique internal energy, combined with the exquisite manipulation of the Heavenly Silkworm Silk, the sword can be split in two at crucial moments, creating a surreal and unpredictable attack.

Using this move, Yin Moli once caused the deaths of three experts at the same level of the Marrow Refining Realm, and even injured a Refining Realm expert, thus escaping unscathed.

However, facing these bizarre twin swords that were enough to kill even experts of the same level on the spot, Chen Yue's face showed no surprise or panic.

With the Mind Nourishing Technique fully activated, the trajectory of the internal energy flowing as the longsword split apart, and the subtle changes controlled by the fine lines, were clearly reflected in his mind.

Chen Yue's left palm, which had been hanging by his side, struck out with lightning speed, arriving first despite being behind.
