Chapter 9: Fierce Battle · Full Force

In this moment, when life and death were about to be separated, Zhao Buqun executed a remarkable escape. Taking advantage of the momentum from withdrawing his sword, the hilt became a weapon of attack, striking Xu Yiyang's chest, while his body began to twist to avoid the vital area of the heart. The back of the Bone-Cutting Sword crashed down onto Duanshui.

With a loud bang, everyone only saw the severely injured Xu Yiyang suddenly flash his sword, striking Zhao Buqun. Immediately afterward, a blood-red glow erupted from his entire body

Xu Yiyang firmly believed that as long as Zhao Buqun saw blood, everything would be different

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth, followed by a thunderous roar akin to a clap of thunder, as two figures staggered apart.

Blood splattered again from his fist. However, Xu Yiyang felt no pain; instead, he suddenly flicked his broken water weapon and then executed a horizontal slash.

The scene was silent as a grave, Zhao Buqun... ? ... The inner sect's senior brother, just like that, died?

No

Xu Yiyang resorted to his old tricks once more, his left hand, bloodied and mangled, grasped the blade of the Bone-Cutting Sword again. The断水 (Duan Shui) gleamed, accompanied by the sound of rushing wind, whistling through the air, and aimed directly at Zhao Buqun's chest.

And he did so without any hesitation

Suddenly, a surge of heat welled up! Xu Yiyang felt as if his entire body was filled with strength, yearning for release and satisfaction

With a thud, Xu Yiyang fell heavily to the ground, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking. It is uncertain how many bones he fractured in this fall.

No

The clothing is tattered

Zhao Buqun shouted loudly: "The heroic spirits are not far away, and the blood debt will be settled today!"

Zhao Buqun staggered backward, the sword energy swirling around him, and with great difficulty expelled all the invading force from his body, then closed his wounds. In the face of Xu Yiyang, whose appearance had drastically changed and was filled with ferocity, he seemed oblivious to the pain of his shoulder being pierced.

At that moment, a chilling light flashed in Xu Yiyang's blood-red eyes. Even someone as resolute as Zhao Buqun could not help but feel a surge of panic

This surge of explosive destructive energy began to surge through the meridians, moving at an astonishing speed. However, wherever this energy traveled, the meridians were filled with a pain akin to shattering.

Zhao Buqun took a deep breath, and finally, has the cunning of the Guizhou donkey run out? Then, this is your time of demise

The crowd watched as Zhao Buqun and Xu Yiyang, resembling two brutes, thrust their swords into each other's bodies and then desperately began to slice away

In their hearts, there were no other thoughts, only the determination to slay their opponent

In that case ... let's give it our all

Xu Yiyang shouted furiously: "I will never forgive you, Zhao Buqun! Kill!"

The onlookers gasped in astonishment

Watching Xu Yiyang's momentum, the inner disciples in the audience let out a slight sigh of relief—everything has come to an end

That sword, resembling a mountain, vast as the sea, devoid of any embellishment, is precisely ... ! ... striking down directly !

The bone-cutting sword instantly penetrated several inches, severing multiple bones in succession

Either you perish, or I do!

Faced with Xu Yiyang's reckless fighting style, Zhao Buqun couldn't help but furrow his brows. If he could advance further and attain the level of a swordsman, then no matter how frenzied Xu Yiyang became, he would be able to suppress him completely. However, at present, the situation appeared somewhat tricky.

Now, it is only a matter of risking one's life for another's life

The moment the water is cut off, the sharp edge rises again, slashing wildly!

The water shortage begins to emit a glow, so dazzling that it is impossible to gaze directly at it

Everyone's expressions changed

Zhao Buqun was fortunate to have retreated in time; the severed water had already penetrated three points into the flesh. If he were to delve just a little deeper, it would result in a fatal outcome of ruptured belly and flowing intestines. Faced with this perilous situation of life and death, Zhao Buqun truly lived up to his reputation as the foremost figure of the inner sect. Instead of retreating, he advanced, taking a step forward. The Bone-Cutting Sword swung through the air, tracing a mysterious arc, with its target unmistakably aimed at Xu Yiyang's neck

However, what the public does not know is that, some time ago, the sword box imparted a technique to Xu Yiyang

Sword Technique – Thunder Sword! It sounds mysterious, but in reality, it is merely the sword energy igniting brilliance, dazzling the enemy's eyes, and then swiftly executing a kill.

At this critical moment of life and death, Zhao Buqun let out a cry of anger and pain. He still had many things to accomplish; he had not yet brought glory to the Sacred Sword Sect. How could he perish together with such a young man on the stage of life and death

The two individuals faced each other, their blood mingling at hetushucomcom, and endless sparks erupted from their eyes

With a lone sword in hand, stained with blood across a thousand miles! Xu Yiyang stepped forward, his left hand clenched into a fist, the blood-red true energy swirling around him, almost tangible, and he forcefully struck out.

This is the only sword technique that Xu Yiyang knows

Zhao Buqun's chest blossomed with blood, yet he remained utterly unconcerned; that pain only served to double his fury. As Xu Yiyang's sword had just left his chest, Zhao Buqun charged forward once more, the Bone-Cutting Sword aimed directly at Xu Yiyang's neck

Sword technique, activate! Xu Yiyang suddenly dashed out wildly, yet his entire being was concealed within the dazzling light. At the same time, he was prepared for injury.

Then, one saw Xu Yiyang withdraw all the defensive vital energy, which surged entirely into his arm

With every step forward, a footprint is left on the arena

The speed was astonishingly fast! A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Zhao Buqun's eyes as he barely twisted his body to avoid the vital point of his heart, but his hand twisted fiercely, unleashing the sword energy without reservation.

A single whistle, the heavy sword like a mountain

Both individuals harbored the thought of sacrificing their own lives to save the other, resulting in a remarkably similar outcome

Subsequently, the Bone-Cutting Sword was forcefully pressed down, vowing to sever Xu Yiyang's arms and to cleave his body in two

A glint of ruthless determination flashed in his eyes as Xu Yiyang let out a loud roar. Although his left hand was a bloody mess, he still clenched it into a fist. Within his dantian, the fierce sword spirit raised its head and howled wildly, emitting a silent roar

However, as the battle has progressed to this point, it seems to have deviated from reason and become so bizarre

At the moment the Bone-Cutting Sword struck Xu Yiyang, he shrugged his shoulders to block the decapitating blow; at the same time, Duanshui surged forward once more, piercing through Zhao Buqun's chest.

The character "kill" reveals the boundless murderous intent within Xu Yiyang's heart

Then, let us exchange our lives for it

Death

Xu Yiyang began to feel anxious, not expecting Zhao Buqun to remain so composed, able to stand firm like a mountain under his frenzied attacks. However, his own true energy could not withstand such extravagant expenditure

Xu Yiyang also exerted himself to slash through the water, aiming to cleave Zhao Buqun's body apart

Only a glimmer of cold light was seen, whistling as it pierced through the air

At almost the same time as the book, a flash of blood light shone. Xu Yiyang and Zhao Buqun both let out a muffled groan.

The Law of Blood Ignition

The arm, once again erupting in a mist of blood

Zhao Buqun's complexion grew increasingly pale, as blood flowed from his internal organs, and his strength rapidly diminished. However, the bone-slicing sword pressing down on Xu Yiyang's shoulder remained unwavering in the slightest degree

Xu Yiyang felt an unparalleled immense force suddenly surge from the Bone-Cutting Sword, crashing into his body like a tidal wave. However, at this moment, how could he retreat

Bloodlight, burst forth

At this critical moment, he did not hesitate to unleash the Blood Burning Technique. In that instant, a vast amount of true energy surged forth, violently filling his body. The sword energy that had previously invaded his body was swiftly annihilated.

With a wild shout, Xu Yiyang's internal energy was surging uncontrollably, matching the sword energy in an equal contest. At the same time, the broken water in his hand did not slow down in the slightest, piercing straight through Zhao Buqun's chest.

Zhao Buqun slightly turned his body, his eyes narrowing slightly. He did not need to see where Xu Yiyang was; he only needed to know where Xu Yiyang's sword was.

Is it possible that Zhao Buqun died just like that

Two shadows dance wildly, blood rain fills the sky

Zhao Buqun let out a fierce howl; although he staggered backward, the Bone-Cutting Sword once again struck down without any embellishment

However, Zhao Buqun was indeed deceived. This is because Xu Yiyang understood sword cultivation, while he did not comprehend what Xu Yiyang was actually practicing.

He began to circulate his true energy rapidly within his dantian, then initiated a self-collision of the energy

With a single sword strike, I honor the spirits of the brave

Suddenly, everyone became agitated

Xu Yiyang advanced fiercely, forcing Zhao Buqun to retreat three steps in succession, and then swooped back like a great bird

If one were to retreat, it would naturally allow for a regrouping; however, ...! ... In this way, the momentum would fall into a disadvantage, and the initiative would be lost.! Zhao Buqun understood deeply that Xu Yiyang had long ceased to value his own life. Once in power, he would undoubtedly launch a reckless and violent attack like a tempest.

Wind-eroded armor, dreams startled for a thousand years! Xu Yiyang shouted loudly, the loss of blood did not make him faint; instead, it made him even more alert, even entering a mysterious realm m.hetushucom .com

That is a trace of blood

Zhao Buqun only felt that what he struck was not a fist, but a piece of stubborn iron

How dare you accept my challenge! Xu Yiyang's eyes burst with a blood-red light, and with a fierce shout, his body leaped high into the air. A vast sword light cleaved through the heavens and slashed at the sun, instantly arriving before Zhao Buqun

Thus, unleashing the sword technique is merely a decoy

Xu Yiyang, however, only felt that his dantian was nearly dried up

The vital energy begins to circulate along a specific path

What should be done

At this very moment, Xu Yiyang's entire body, once radiating a crimson glow, had begun to dim, yet it exuded an inexplicable sense of bloodiness

All at once, Xu Yiyang's long hair stood on end, and his originally pale face turned a bright red. Suddenly, a brilliant beam of light burst forth from the broken water in his hand

The previously dark Bone-Cutting Sword suddenly emanated an endless brilliance, unleashing a visible sword aura.

The crimson luster deepened by threefold

Xu Yiyang struck with his sword, but immediately realized something was amiss, as Zhao Buqun had successfully evaded the fatal blow

Am I really not a match for myself? No matter how much I struggle, will I ultimately meet my demise on the spot?

This is Zhao Buqun's objective

However, it is merely somewhat tricky

Xu Yiyang's shoulder subtly shrugged slightly, and the water in his hand abruptly surged towards Zhao Buqun's heart

Zhao Buqun wielded a bone-slicing sword with great vigor, exuding an imposing presence. He did not employ any sword techniques, but maintained an impenetrable defense.

Xu Yiyang's eyes were filled with blood red. His vital energy surged wildly, and even while retreating, he was already prepared to launch an attack. Then, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, forcibly reversing his retreat and charging forward.

In the eyes of the inner disciples, Zhao Buqun possesses outstanding talent and frequently travels and battles outside, boasting rich practical experience; it would not be an exaggeration to say he has been through countless battles. And what about Xu Yiyang? He is merely of inferior aptitude! Although it was later heard that he received some great power's teachings, what level of cultivation can one achieve in just over a year?

Zhao Buqun shouted fiercely, refusing to retreat even a single step. He raised the Bone-Cutting Sword in his hand and suddenly thrust it forward. A fierce surge of sword energy erupted instantly

hetushu.com.com flesh and blood, bloom

Zhao Buqun suddenly roared, twisting the Bone-Cutting Sword in his hand, successfully breaking free from Xu Yiyang's restraint

The bone-cutting sword was instantly retracted and then swung upward, with the hilt forcefully striking outward.

Xu Yiyang began to feel the weakening of his vital energy, as if it were a side effect of the Blood Burning Technique

Xu Yiyang still failed to hit Zhao Buqun's heart, while Zhao Buqun also could not sever Xu Yiyang's head, resulting in a draw where neither achieved their objective

This force is so powerful! Xu Yiyang pushed off the ground with his foot, and his entire body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. The overwhelming sword energy surrounding him shattered like spider silk in an instant

A loud sound echoed, and the light immediately dimmed. Everyone saw Xu Yiyang's face filled with madness, as he pointed his swift sword directly at Zhao Buqun's throat. In response, Zhao Buqun raised his Bone-Cutting Sword and executed a downward slash, aiming to cleave Xu Yiyang in half from head to toe.

Zhao Buqun instinctively began to retreat, but suddenly, the swift sword embedded in his flesh started to tremble violently, tearing at his body, while unleashing an endless force that struck against him from within

They saw that the wound between Zhao Buqun's ribs was hideous and terrifying, with even the internal organs visibly writhing. Yet, he still refused to fall, instead staggering forward.

Xu Yiyang flew several zhang away, and he was unsure how many of his ribs had broken. Yet he was laughing heartily, for he had successfully cleaved Zhao Buqun's body with his sword. ... The man was still flying backward in the air, blood was spraying everywhere, and all his strength had dissipated, making it difficult even to move a finger ... . ... Yet he continued to laugh.

Xu Yiyang was filled with astonishment.

The dazzling sword light is so sharp! Zhao Buqun retreated frantically, yet he only felt a chill in his chest and abdomen. How could Xu Yiyang's peak sword strike, which was a life-and-death struggle, be completely evaded?

By that time, it will truly be dangerous

Zhao Buqun raised the Bone-Cutting Sword high and struck down heavily

Xu Yiyang, however, remained completely unconcerned. The Blood Burning Technique was activated, and he was now filled with power, unable to contain himself. Duanshui suddenly counterattacked, producing a sound like a dragon's roar

It is indeed so tragic and bloody

In theory, dealing with Xu Yiyang should be as easy for Brother Zhao as handling a mere chicken or dog
