Chapter 57

"Still not making a move, Sha Tongtian? I've made it so clear, if you keep hesitating, your Yellow River Gang will really lose face, even to your grandmother's house. What kind of business are you doing without capital? Everyone, go back to your own homes, find your own mothers, and go back to nursing!"

Su Yi's words were filled with the utmost sarcasm. Coupled with his disdainful gaze and contemptuous smile, it provoked a wave of indignation among the members of the Yellow River Gang. They all pleaded to Sha Tongtian, "Boss, this kid is bullying us right to our faces. No need for you to make a move, we'll take care of him. We'll tear him apart, and see who dares to look down on our Yellow River Gang!"

"That's right, Boss, Second Boss is right. We'll all go together. I don't believe this kid has three heads and six arms. We'll stab him to death!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

Everyone spoke up, and Sha Tongtian shook his head with a bitter smile. Now, all the elites were here, and if they really rushed in, it would be a complete loss of face.

However, since the brother has been saved, there's no need to worry about this kid anymore. Invincible? Hmph, at his age, calling himself that is truly laughable!

He had already been seething with anger, and now being so despised by a young man, Sha Tongtian was no pushover. His temper was far more explosive than that of an average person. He had endured it to the limit.

Now, there was nothing to worry about.

"Kid, prepare to die!"

Sha Tongtian roared, his body not bending, his feet not moving, and he was already next to Su Yi from ten meters away. He raised his palm and struck at Su Yi's chest without hesitation.

Su Yi's eyes lit up. Indeed, there were no false reputations. Just this lightness of movement was enough to rank him among the top three he had seen.

Not only was Sha Tongtian's lightness of movement superb, but his internal strength was also extremely profound. His palm strike towards Su Yi, even before it reached, the fierce palm wind already made Su Yi's eyes water.

Facing Sha Tongtian's full-force palm, Su Yi had no intention of retreating. If it were any other day, someone striking him would naturally be met with a Heart-Crushing Palm. But today, he wanted to test the edge of the Nine Swords of Invincibility, so he needed to use a weapon.

At this moment, Sha Tongtian was less than half a meter away from Su Yi, and the Qingming Sword was over four feet long. There was no time to draw the sword, but Su Yi was not at all flustered.

At the last moment, he raised the scabbard high, placing it in front of him. With a bang, Sha Tongtian's palm struck the scabbard.

The scabbard flew far away, and at the same instant, a clear and crisp sound rang out.

Su Yi's sword was out of the scabbard!

Facing an opponent who was only slightly inferior to Qiu Chuji, Su Yi's heart was also burning with excitement. After more than a year of hard training, how much had he improved from being a complete novice?

He would find out today!

Sha Tongtian's palm strike missed, but he was not flustered. He raised his hand, and an iron oar flew through the air, which he firmly grasped. It was the Thousand Hands Butcher Peng Lianhu who had brought him his weapon.

With the weapon in hand, Sha Tongtian's confidence grew. He roared and swung the oar towards Su Yi's head. Su Yi was not the least bit afraid, not even blinking, and with a casual flick of his sword, he aimed straight for Sha Tongtian's wrist. The speed and sharpness of the sword were such that even Sha Tongtian felt a chill in his heart, thinking that this kid indeed had some skills, and quickly retreated.

However, once he retreated, there was no chance to advance. Facing the rapidly retreating Sha Tongtian, Su Yi followed closely, his sword thrusting straight and continuously towards Sha Tongtian.

There were no fancy techniques, no graceful movements, only speed, each thrust faster than the last, and the angles were extremely cunning, targeting places where Sha Tongtian could neither avoid nor defend.

Facing Su Yi's cunning and deadly sword techniques, Sha Tongtian took one step back, then another. He could only retreat, finding no opportunity to counterattack. In an instant, he was completely on the defensive, despite the loud whistling of his iron oar and his fierce roars, there was no sign of turning the tide. Even after dozens of exchanges, their weapons had not even touched, and Su Yi had taken the initiative from the start.

At this moment, Su Yi felt an overwhelming joy, almost wanting to howl to the sky. This was true swordsmanship! Do as you please, strike where you want, without thinking about the next move. When the time comes, follow your instincts and strike where you want, and it will be right!

Just as he had said when he first learned swordsmanship, even I don't know where I will strike next, so how can the opponent defend?

Thinking back to his training in the Quanzhen Sword Technique and the Shadow Sword Technique, it was like a computer program. Each move was linked to the next, with certain moves to avoid, all pre-programmed, waiting for the user to execute. Any deviation would result in harm! It felt completely devoid of the freedom and joy of true swordsmanship!

Indeed, the Nine Swords of Invincibility were the strongest sword technique in the world, or at least the most exhilarating. Its moves were determined by the user's mood at the moment, truly embodying the saying "the sword is like the person"!

Su Yi's heart was filled with even more joy. He howled to the sky, and his sword transformed into thousands, like a vast net, trapping Sha Tongtian, a carp, inside. No matter how he struggled, he could not escape.

At this moment, everyone around was completely shocked. What was happening? Was everyone still asleep?

No one knew the strength of Sha Tongtian, the Dragon King of the Ghost Gate, better than those present. They had all suffered at the hands of his iron oar and knew that in the martial world, Sha Tongtian was a formidable figure.

Who would have thought... who would have thought that in this exchange, Sha Tongtian, after initially making two moves, was immediately on the defensive. Facing the sword techniques of a young man, he had no power to counterattack. Every attempt to counter was immediately crushed, and he could only barely defend against the long sword, though he was not injured, the difference between the two was clear!

Could this kid have started training in the womb? Looking at Su Yi's young and handsome face, everyone felt a cold sweat. Fortunately, they had not meddled to please Sha Tongtian. Even the Dragon King of the Ghost Gate was no match for him. If they had joined, they would have just been giving him free kills!

Peng Lianhu, standing nearby, was also completely shocked. His martial arts were even higher than Sha Tongtian's, so his insight was far greater. But no matter how hard he tried to think and recall, he could not identify the school or style of the young man's sword technique, which was so fierce and powerful, yet also carried a touch of fluidity and ease.

What he did not know was that the Nine Swords of Invincibility had no defense, only attack, targeting the opponent's vital points, making it extremely fierce and powerful. However, when Su Yi practiced, he followed the principles of the Tai Chi Sword Technique. Although he had coincidentally mastered the Nine Swords of Invincibility, compared to the original, it had lost some of its sharpness and gained more fluidity and ease. This was also why Sha Tongtian had not yet been defeated!
