Relating Yearning with Sword - C61
His voice paused, his right hand shook slightly, and he held the long sword in its sheath in his hand.
His sword was also known as the “Long Root”, and was obviously longer than the regular sword. Even his hilt was always three feet five and six centimeters long, but it looked thin and narrow, no more than two fingers wide, and its luster was silver and white. It was like a mirror, and with a slight tremble, it was like a silver snake.
With the River Dragon longsword in hand, he lightly shook his wrist, causing three sword flowers to erupt in the air. A large area of brilliance was emitted from the sword, causing people’s eyes to be dazzled.
With his left hand gripping the sword technique, his chest expanded and the longsword in his right hand casually twisted to the right, opening the door on its own.
Wu Yuxue had originally planned to use his fighting style to see through some tricks, but the other party was too meticulous and he couldn’t see through some of his tricks.
Previously in the Mai family, both sides had used inner strength fighting techniques, but this time the situation was very different.
However, the two swords were shining brightly. It was obvious that each of them had channeled their abundant internal energy into the swords. The cold and dense sword Qi slowly filled the area.
The broken branches and leaves on the ground scattered under the power of the sword Qi.
The sword Qis were like small steel needles that scattered in all directions. If his own strength was insufficient to block them, it would be difficult for him to retreat safely after just a dash.
Fortunately, the adversaries on both sides were sword arts experts, first-rate inner force experts.
This round of sword qi had only grown in strength. They were only trying to figure out the situation so that they could take advantage of it later on.
Wu Yuxue moved her feet and made a slight arc to the left.
The river dragon took a sudden step to the side. His movements were as fast as Wu Yuxue.
Following this movement, Jiang Long pushed forward three steps in a row, the long sword in his hand firmly and slowly pushed forward.
In the eyes of an outsider, this sword strike was nothing out of the ordinary. There was nothing amazing about it at all. Not only was it not astonishing enough, it was simply unfathomable.
Because of such a slow sword force, it gave the impression that it could not injure or defend itself. If the enemy attacked with a swift sword, then how could they help? Aren’t you at a loss?
However, this was not the case at all.
This strike was truly extraordinary.
As the sword was slowly pushed out, a large amount of sword light scattered in all directions like a cold ray of light.
The Sword Qi gushed out from Jiang Long’s body like a cold mist. Then, Jiang Long thrust out his long sword towards Wu Yanxue.
This is where the real power lies.
If you were a wood person or a stone person, of course, you wouldn’t be able to understand it. However, as a human being, the feeling was different.
The invisible sword Qi was like an invisible shackle, tightly pressing down on Wu Yu Xue from top to bottom. If he was only standing still, it would be difficult for him to feel it, and with just a slight movement, he would be able to feel the piercing cold Qi. If he continued to move, the sharp edge of the sword would slash out with the help of his senses, quickly making it difficult for him to move, and due to the delicacy of touching, every movement ahead was hard to guard against.
Therefore, if you were unable to get a clear understanding of the situation and were unable to make a move, you would have already been restrained by the opponent’s swift and fierce sword moves. It was indeed extremely powerful.
Wu Yuxue naturally understood, and thus kept her calm and motionless under the sword pressure.
After that, he slowly pushed his internal energy towards the sword, and through the sword, it slowly spread outwards.
Jiang Long nodded his head and said with a cold face: “The Yanmen Swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary. Hmph, why aren’t you releasing your sword over?”
Wu Yuxue replied with a sneer but didn’t say anything.
He knew that now was the critical moment. As long as he opened his mouth, the enemy would be able to take advantage of him and leak out his true power. With his own skill, he might not be able to win the fight, but why should he let the enemy have his way? He just didn’t want to give him an opportunity.
The strong wind continued to howl as it swept across the bamboo shoots, scattering the fallen leaves on the ground.
Under the light of the sky, the figure of a jade was formed.
The two sides were still in a stalemate.
The more powerful a swordsman was, the more difficult it would be to perform the first sword move.
This sword was also the most dangerous. Amongst swordsmanship, the first sword attack was highly valued, and one could not be careless.
It was precisely because of this that Wu Yu Xue and Jiang Long, who were standing in front of them, were so cautious that they didn’t want to take any action.
However, as time passed, the timing of his actions became more and more urgent, as if he couldn’t drag it out any longer.
Although Wu Yuxue had observed him for a long time, she was still unable to seize the opportunity to make a move.
The river dragon was like a calm eagle.
A Raging Eagle was flying in the sky, searching for prey on the ground. It was very patient and patient, but when it discovered prey on the ground, it would immediately attack without hesitation.
The Jiang Long in front of him was exactly like this. When he struck out with his sword, he seemed so calm and cautious. The moment he struck out with his sword, his speed would be like the raging waves in a storm, unstoppable at any moment.
Unknowingly, both sides had already changed their positions.
Suddenly, Jiang Long raised the longsword in his hand. With a flash of silver light, it soared straight into the sky.
Wu Yuxue was no longer hesitant. She grasped the sword in her hand and leapt up, slashing her Green Mulberry Sword at a slanted angle. This sword was like a lightning bolt in the sky, yet also like the tail of a godly dragon. The sword light swept out, chopping straight towards the dragon’s upper body.
Grand Elder Jiu Jiang Long snorted. He flipped his body upside down and flew up into the air.
Wu Yuxue’s previous strike was just a feint to lure the enemy. Her goal was to trigger the enemy’s thunderous attack, so that she could see the threshold to the next move. That was where her strength lay.
The sight in front of his eyes was truly soul-stirring.
Wu Yuxue’s sword was like lightning, and her body flashed across the river like the wind.
Wu Yuxue’s sword light slashed three times in a certain arc and then whizzed away.
Jiang Long’s body could actually chase up to Wu Yuxue’s sword force. One sword attack was like a three-degree fluctuation, the other man and his sword were almost twisted into a ball. It was only after Wu Yuxue had fully pulled out her sword force did he realize that her attack had missed.
Under the setting sun, Jiang Long’s white robe started to shine with a blinding white light. His body looked so soft that it seemed boneless, and as Wu Yu Xue pulled on his sword, he fell down in a circle.
Wu Yuxue was shocked when she missed.
At this moment, the sudden arrival of the river crossing dragon was like a raging gale, unstoppable.
It was like an iron ring that had suddenly rolled over. The dragon’s entire body was actually a circle that suddenly descended like a whirlwind. When it reached the side, it was already too late to dodge.
A long arc flashed across the river as the human ball rolled.
The sword seemed to shine brilliantly, and in an instant, it transformed into three sword shadows, slashing down towards Wu Yuxue with all its might.
Wu Yuxue knew that she had failed in her first move, but she didn’t expect her opponent’s sword art to be so unpredictable.
In this situation, he couldn’t evade or evade in time, so he could only choose the path of a hard contender.
With a thought, the sword in his hand trembled, and he swung it outwards. With a “Clang Clang” sound, the swords clashed into each other, and Wu Yu Xuege slashed out with her sword, and then, using the force of the last shot, she quickly slashed to the left, and with a “Clang” sound, she slashed out to the right.
When the two swords clashed, Wu Yuxue finally felt the opponent’s powerful arm force. However, it was not enough to cause trouble. A gloomy sword qi suddenly flashed and went straight to his left heart.
Even with Wu Yuxue’s quick agility, she could not defend against the last sword attack. She was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat.
In a moment of crisis, he suddenly thought of the lifesaving move of the Swallow School’s ultimate skill — “Seventy-two Hands Swallow Flying” — “Swallow up Autumn Wave”. In a split-second of urgency, he suddenly struck out with his left palm, aiming to press it onto the incoming longsword.
This move was obviously out of Jiang Long’s expectation and he couldn’t help but be shocked.
The moment the two swords made contact, a crisp sword hum was heard.
Wu Yuxue had already soared into the sky like a wild crane using the slight force behind her. She did a quick somersault in the air and with the sound of her clothes flapping in the wind, she was already more than twenty feet away.
It was extremely dangerous.
After landing on the ground, although Wu Yuxue was lucky enough that she wasn’t hurt by the sword force, her face was pale and her heart was beating fast. It was only now that he realized that not only was the other party’s inner and outer powers astounding, but the sword technique before his eyes was clearly above his.
He had initially thought highly of his own sword technique. However, once he came into contact with the other party, he realized that he was still no match for him. A wave of heat suddenly struck down on his heart, causing him to be extremely disheartened.
A shadow flashed before his eyes and the river dragon appeared before him.
“I almost forgot, Swallow School’s’ Seventy-two Hands Swallow Flying ‘sword art is indeed brilliant. Fortunately, since we’ve met, I must experience it firsthand.”
With that, he swung the long sword in his hand downwards.
This strike seemed to be stable and came down straight at Wu Yu Xue’s head.
However, Wu Yuxue did not dare to think like this after learning from her mistake.
While thinking, he gathered his true strength and concentrated it on the sword blade. He was not in a hurry to face the opponent’s sword blade, so he took a step forward and suddenly thrust his sword straight towards the dragon’s throat.
This kind of sword technique that could advance and defend simultaneously was indeed powerful. It was just like the concentration of true energy on the sword. One’s life could not be saved even if one was stabbed, and even a little bit of the sword’s brilliance was not fun.
Jiang Long was a shrewd person. When he saw this, he coldly snorted and couldn’t help but be secretly shocked in his heart.
It was said that if a single person risked his life, ten thousand men would find it hard to deal with him. It was an indication of a person’s imposing manner.
Wu Yuxue had seen the River Dragon Sword Art and knew that she was no match for him. In this life or death situation, she might as well put everything she had into this plan and focus all her energy on this battle. This was an extraordinary sword move, and even if she crossed the river, she would still have no choice but to leave in time.
The two swords clashed against each other in the midst of extreme danger.
It was just a delicate exchange of moves.
The point of contact was only at the tip of the sword. Due to the heavy force, the rebounding force was extremely powerful. The two of them flew away like swallows in the wind.
Wu Yuxue seized this opportunity and made a sudden downward cut in the air.
With a “hu” sound, he charged forward.
This move went against common sense and was swift to the extreme.
It turned out that although Wu Yuxue had not completely mastered the Seventy-Two Hands Flying Swallow Sword Art, she was still more than half proficient in it. This sword art was one of the “Return of the Stormy Petrel” moves.
“Hu!” Wu Yuxue pulled out her right hand. The sword was like a silver rainbow, but it created a sky of sword rain in the long rainbow. It came all of a sudden, covering Long Jiang from head to toe.
Even someone as capable as Yu Jiang Long couldn’t help but be shocked when faced with this sword force.
At least he was skilled.
Wu Yuxue’s sword aura suddenly opened up like a cloud, and the body hidden inside the robes seemed to have become abnormally thin and small, almost to the point of being thin. Wu Yuxue’s sword aura suddenly opened up like a cloud, and the body hidden under the robes, suddenly, seemed to become abnormally thin and almost like a sheet of thin air.
As Wu Yuxue’s sword continued to move, a white light flashed and cut off a palm-sized piece of her snow-white robe.
However, as he was going all out with this move, it was clear that he had failed.
Elder Shun Jiang Long sneered and said, “Kid, hand over your life!”
As soon as his words reached the sword, they became faster and faster. Even with Wu Yu Xue’s capability, her speed was nothing to scoff at. He was also unable to clearly see the power behind his sword, and with an extremely agile stride forward, the sword in his hand seemed to tremble.
This was truly an exquisite strike.
Along with a gust of sharp sword wind, the sword stabbed straight forward. Although it was a four times smooth and eight times stable strike, it was extremely difficult to dodge.
This sword went past Long Jiang’s vicious heart and went straight for his heart. Actually, he had already planned for this move long ago and finally succeeded.
However, the final result would inevitably cause him to be greatly disappointed.
The sharp tip of the sword should have pierced into his opponent’s heart the moment it did. This was not the case. What came next was like a string being strummed.
The long sword in Jiang Long’s palm not only failed to pierce through his opponent’s body, but also bounced back.
It was clearly inside his clothes and he had something else protecting him.
Jiang Long could not help but be secretly shocked. Wu Yuxue was also frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
Of course, Wu Yuxue knew that if it weren’t for the “Flying Swallow Armor of the Heart” that she was wearing, the sword before her eyes would have surely ended her life.
