Chapter 58

After much deliberation, Peng Lianhu had to admit with disappointment that even if he were in the arena, he would not have done any better than Sha Tongtian. Faced with the opponent's fierce and overwhelming swordsmanship, he could only helplessly and awkwardly flee, with no chance of victory.

Peng Lianhu even felt that the reason Sha Tongtian had not been defeated yet was purely because the opponent was holding back. This young man seemed to be deliberately using him for practice, thus holding back three parts of his strength, which gave Sha Tongtian the chance to hold on!

Invincible!

Recalling the shock of hearing that name and then seeing the absurdity of this young man, Peng Lianhu suddenly felt that the other's powerful swordsmanship alone was enough to live up to that name.

By this time, Sha Tenghai, who had already come to his senses, was already staring with wide eyes. His brother, whom he had admired since childhood, was being pressed by someone. Even without much martial arts knowledge, one could tell that the gap between the two was so great that it was enough to make one despair!

In a fit of rage and fear, Sha Tenghai slapped his son Sha Yiyang hard across the face, making half of his face swell up. "It's all your fault! If you hadn't caused trouble outside, how would we have provoked this demon?!"

Sha Yiyang, dazed, covered his face, his eyes misty with tears. But seeing his uncle, who was being beaten to a pulp, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

After slapping his son, Sha Tenghai suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Peng Lianhu, saying, "Lord Peng, my brother alone is no match for that boy. Please, Lord Peng, show mercy and help my brother!"

Peng Lianhu had long intended to join the fight. He had already seen that unless he and Sha Tongtian joined forces, there might be a slim chance of victory. But who was he? The overlord of Shanxi and Hebei, the Thousand-Handed Butcher. Joining forces with another powerful figure to attack one person, especially a young man, would be a loss of face.

But after hearing Sha Tenghai's words, Peng Lianhu's heart stirred. Wasn't this a good reason to join the fight?

He nodded solemnly and shouted, "Brother Sha, I'll help you!"

With that, he raised his right arm, and countless points of light flew out from his sleeve, like countless streaks of light, reflecting beautifully in the sunlight. But if one truly considered them beautiful, it would cost them their life.

The Thousand-Handed Butcher! Since he was called the Thousand-Handed Butcher, his skill with hidden weapons was naturally quite formidable. Facing an opponent far stronger than himself, Peng Lianhu's first move was his signature technique—Flower Rain!

After launching his hidden weapons, Peng Lianhu did not stand by any longer. He used his lightness skill to leap over the crowd and jumped into the circle.

"Good move!"

Su Yi shouted, and the long sword he had aimed at Sha Tongtian retracted. Using the Arrow Breaking technique, none of the countless streaks of light could penetrate Su Yi's sword, all of them falling to the ground, blue and clearly laced with deadly poison.

Although Peng Lianhu's hidden weapons did not fully succeed, they finally gave Sha Tongtian a moment to catch his breath. Sha Tongtian shouted and handed the iron cudgel to his left hand, using his right hand to deliver a full-strength palm strike at Su Yi.

He saw that Su Yi's swordsmanship was superb and hard to match, and given his young age, he must not have very deep internal strength. He wanted to win with his internal power.

Su Yi chuckled and, like Sha Tongtian, switched his sword to his left hand, using it to attack Peng Lianhu, while his right hand formed a palm and boldly met the attack.

"Heh heh, boy, let me show you the power of my decades of internal cultivation!" Sha Tongtian thought to himself, imagining Su Yi's right arm breaking and then being smashed to a pulp by his cudgel.

Bang!

A loud noise, and the two palms had already met.

How is this possible?!!

Sha Tongtian felt an extremely powerful and pure internal force surge from the other's palm, like a mountain collapsing and a sea roaring. His decades of cultivation could only resist for a moment before being completely overwhelmed. A mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, and he spat it out, stumbling backward!

At the same time, Su Yi's left-hand sword had already reached Peng Lianhu, who was still in mid-air. Seeing Su Yi use his right hand to meet Sha Tongtian's palm and still dare to attack him with his left-hand sword, Peng Lianhu was secretly annoyed. Are you so disrespectful?

He immediately took out a pair of iron判官笔 (判官笔 are a type of weapon) from his waist and placed them on Su Yi's sword, trying to disarm him.

However, as soon as the判官笔 touched the other's sword, Peng Lianhu felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his entire body lost control.

It must be understood that in the Sword Tomb, Su Yi practiced the Nine Swords of Dugu with his right hand and the玄铁重剑 (玄铁重剑 is a type of sword) with his left hand, both progressing at the same pace. Although the two sword techniques had their strengths and weaknesses, the玄铁重剑 was naturally more powerful in terms of force. Therefore, his left-hand strength had already surpassed his right hand by more than ten times.

Although he was holding the Qingming Sword, which could not fully unleash his left-hand strength, even this incomplete玄铁重剑 technique was far beyond what Peng Lianhu could resist. He immediately let out a惨叫 (惨叫 is a scream of pain) and was thrown back several meters, only to be caught by Sha Tongtian, who had just barely managed to stand up. The two fell together and rolled a long distance on the ground!

From the moment Peng Lianhu launched his hidden weapons to when Su Yi simultaneously met Sha Tongtian's palm and attacked Peng Lianhu with his sword, it was only a brief moment. Yet, the two powerful figures were defeated at the same time, especially Peng Lianhu, who could not even block Su Yi's sword. At this moment, everyone looked at Su Yi as if he were a god.

Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu supported each other and stood up. Sha Tongtian whispered, "I didn't expect his internal cultivation to be so profound. My decades of cultivation were no match at all. I was careless and suffered a great loss."

Peng Lianhu also whispered with a bitter smile, "I thought his left-hand sword would be less convenient than his right hand, but it turned out to be even more powerful. I shouldn't have touched his sword!"

Indeed, both were formidable figures in their own right and would not have been defeated by Su Yi in a fair fight. However, their incorrect assumptions led to incorrect judgments, resulting in this shocking outcome!

If it were a fair fight, even Su Yi would have to put in considerable effort to defeat the two of them working together!

Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu looked at each other and said in unison, "Join forces!"

Immediately, the two advanced together, one holding the判官笔 and the other the iron cudgel, attacking Su Yi from both sides.

Su Yi laughed and swung his sword, aiming for Sha Tongtian's neck.

Sha Tongtian shouted and met him with his iron cudgel.

Bang!!!

The two weapons met for the first time, and Sha Tongtian felt a powerful force, making him lose his balance. Su Yi, however, used the force of Sha Tongtian's cudgel to make his sword turn smoothly and attack Peng Lianhu.

Peng Lianhu did not dare to meet the attack head-on and curled into a ball. Being short, he became like a ball, dodging Su Yi's sword and colliding directly with his chest.

At this moment, Sha Tongtian had also stabilized himself and swung his cudgel again, both of them determined to defeat Su Yi and avenge their earlier humiliation!

Faced with the two of them, Su Yi could not help but feel a bit of pressure, but the more pressure, the more excited he became. The smile on his lips grew more noticeable as he used the Spiral Nine Shadows technique, creating numerous illusions on the field. Countless Su Yis appeared and disappeared, making their attacks miss.

Su Yi seemed to be enjoying himself, and even after dodging their attacks, the illusions did not disappear. They continued to appear, surrounding Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu, and his sword continuously attacked them.

Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu could not distinguish the real from the illusions, so they stood back to back, swinging their weapons so tightly that not even water could get through. For a moment, the sounds of clashing weapons filled the air.

As he became more excited, Su Yi infused the Nine Yang True Qi into the Qingming Sword, making the entire sword hum. Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu immediately felt that the force of the sword had increased tenfold, making their situation even more dire!

Both had already been severely injured by Su Yi, and now they were forced to fight him. Normally, it might have been different, but after just a hundred moves, their arms were bleeding profusely, dripping onto the ground. It was clear that their defeat was only a matter of time.
