Chapter 86

People often say, "Holding a three-foot green sword, one can wander the world with confidence!"

However, the sword in Su Yi's hand, the Qingming Sword, was over four feet long, much longer than ordinary weapons. Despite this, the weapon, which was difficult for others to handle, was wielded by Su Yi as if it were an extension of his arm, with an indescribable grace and elegance!

At this moment, Liang Ziweng had already rushed to Su Yi's vicinity. Unlike the other three, he did not know who this masked, green-robed youth was. His target from the beginning was the foolish Guo Jing!

Just thinking about the snake blood in Guo Jing's possession made Liang Ziweng anxious and desperate. He could not afford to care about anyone else!

"Brat, get out of the way! Your old man is in a bad mood today. If you don't want to die, don't block my path!"

Seeing Su Yi standing in front of him, blocking his way and not moving, Liang Ziweng casually slapped him, spewing curses.

"Hmph!"

A light snort echoed.

Then, Liang Ziweng's vision was filled with a long sword. A green, indestructible sword, under the bright moonlight, emitted a green glow that was no less brilliant, and it stabbed straight at the Laogong point on his outstretched palm.

Although it was just an ordinary, simple strike, without any fancy techniques, Liang Ziweng's face instantly changed. He felt that this simple strike seemed to carry endless variations, completely sealing off his attack path. No matter where he attacked, he could not avoid this long sword. Moreover, even if he retracted his hand, he still felt that he could not escape the sharpness of this simple strike!

Was this the realm of "great skill appears clumsy"?!

A terrifying realm flashed through Liang Ziweng's mind! This young man in front of him was not just some ignorant brat as he had thought! This was clearly a supreme martial arts expert whose skills far surpassed his own!

He finally understood why the other three had hesitated earlier. They had already seen this youth's formidable martial arts and lacked the confidence to face him, hence their hesitation!

Unfortunately, Liang Ziweng's realization seemed to come a bit too late!

Realizing his overconfidence, Liang Ziweng quickly retracted his hand, and inwardly cursed... As expected, despite his faster retraction, Su Yi's sword still advanced, like a snake emerging from its den, aiming straight for the Laogong point on his palm, with a determination to sever his arm!

"Hey!"

A loud shout echoed, and a steel staff suddenly extended from the side, blocking Su Yi's powerful strike!

"Bang!"

The sound of weapons clashing rang out. Sha Tongtian, who had saved Liang Ziweng, felt a numbness in his right arm, and the steel staff fell to the ground. He quickly extended his left hand to catch the falling weapon and swiftly held it in front of him. Indeed, a green meteor-like strike continued to attack him with undiminished momentum!

"Bang!"

Another loud sound, and Sha Tongtian's left arm also went numb, but with mental preparation, the weapon did not fall this time, though his arm hung limply.

Su Yi sneered, and the four-foot green sword in his hand drew a streak of light, sweeping from bottom to top, completely enveloping Sha Tongtian. Just as this strike was about to severely injure him, a sharp wind came from the side, and Peng Lianhu arrived, using the ancient military strategy of "surrounding Wei to save Zhao," and stabbed at Su Yi's forehead with his judge's pen!

Su Yi's expression remained unchanged. The sword that was about to severely injure Sha Tongtian was instantly retracted and aimed at Peng Lianhu. Peng Lianhu was greatly alarmed. With both pens in front of his chest, he had protected himself from all angles, but the angle of the incoming strike was so unexpected that he felt he could not block it!

He quickly retracted his move and retreated, and Su Yi did not pursue. Instead, he turned and struck again, and Lingzhi Shangren, who was about to join the fray, hastily withdrew his palm. His years of practice in the poisonous sand palm nearly cost him half of his hand!

Sha Tongtian's arm finally recovered, and he shouted, "This brat's sword skills are formidable. We shouldn't fight alone. Stand together and don't give him any opportunities!"

The four of them quickly regrouped, trying to stand closely together to defend against Su Yi's fierce sword skills.

"Oh? Give me an opportunity?"

Su Yi laughed contemptuously and said softly, "Do I need you to give me an opportunity?"

He moved his feet lightly, and in an instant, he stood among the four who had not yet regrouped. His sword struck continuously, dispersing them again...

Facing four top-notch martial arts experts, Su Yi had no intention of underestimating them. He knew that if these four truly fought in unison, it would be much harder for him to win...

Therefore, he held nothing back. Su Yi's sword skills, the Nine Swords of Dugu, became faster and faster, each move as elusive as a hanging antelope's horn, targeting the vital points of the four. He vowed not to let them regroup!

At this moment, Su Yi had the upper hand. The Nine Swords of Dugu were freely displayed, and he felt as if his sword had a life of its own. He no longer considered where to strike next, but let his instincts take over. The Qingming Sword hummed, and the moonlight and sword light intertwined, shining brilliantly... Sha Tongtian and the others could only defend, unable to counterattack!

...

"Amazing!!!"

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were already mesmerized. Although Huang Rong's father, Huang Yaoshi, had extraordinary martial arts, he never showed his skills in front of his daughter. This was the first time she had seen a battle between supreme martial arts experts!

As for Guo Jing, he had always lacked insight and was not adept at light and flexible techniques. Seeing this swordplay, which relied entirely on insight and became stronger against stronger opponents, Su Yi's Nine Swords of Dugu were already performing exceptionally well against these four top-notch martial arts experts, displaying unparalleled skill. The simple-minded youth was dazed and stood there, mesmerized.

As Su Yi's sword skills became more fierce, the space for Sha Tongtian and the others to move became smaller, and their defeat was only a matter of time... At this moment, a strange whistling sound echoed!

A strong, pungent smell filled the air. Su Yi was very familiar with this smell. After all, he had eaten many snake gallbladders, and not long ago, he had even drunk the blood and gallbladder of a large treasure snake!

"Ah~~~!"

Huang Rong could not help but scream. She saw Ou Yang Ke, panting and leaning on his beautiful concubine, with bandages on his arms, revealing only a few spots of blood. It seemed he had been properly bandaged. In his mouth, he held a strange whistle, from which the whistling sound came.

Following Ou Yang Ke's whistle, countless small venomous snakes began to dance to the strange sound, densely covering a large area of the ground. No wonder Huang Rong screamed; even a man would find it terrifying to see such a dense mass of snakes!

Su Yi looked around and saw more than ten bamboo baskets scattered on the ground. It seemed the snakes had emerged from them...

It appeared that Ou Yang Ke was quite clever, knowing to bring a large number of venomous snakes as a precaution. If he encountered an enemy he could not defeat, he could release the snakes and control them with the whistle. Even if he could not defeat the enemy, he could at least save his own life!

This was probably why Ou Yang Feng felt confident enough to let his nephew travel. With so many venomous snakes, even if Hong Qigong came, without prior preparation, he would have to retreat temporarily and look for a better opportunity!
