Chapter 92

"Junior Brother, be extremely careful. That young man, whose allegiance is unknown, has vanished without a trace. We don’t know if he’s still around. Don’t let anyone sneak up on you!"

Seeing that his junior brother’s fiery temper had not changed a bit, Ma Yu couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. He turned his head and suddenly realized that he couldn’t see Su Yi anymore. He hadn’t even noticed when Su Yi had left, and his heart sank. He hurriedly whispered to Qiu Chuji.

"Senior Brother, don’t worry. The enemy of our enemy is our friend. Since that young man just fought with these few, he must not be our enemy!"

Qiu Chuji stared intently at the four experts in front of him, his fighting spirit hard to suppress. He shouted loudly, "Gentlemen, you ambushed my junior brother tonight. I was planning to settle this tomorrow, but since you’re so eager, let’s just do it today! Bring out all your tricks, I, Qiu Chuji, will take them all!"

"Hmph, you refuse the wine and choose the punishment! Prepare to die!"

Liang Ziweng had already recovered his strength and was not the least bit afraid of Qiu Chuji. With a loud shout, he pounced like an eagle, both palms attacking Qiu Chuji fiercely!

"Come on!!!"

Qiu Chuji was a true martial fanatic. If not for his concern about his senior brother’s nagging, he would have already challenged these experts. Now, after suppressing his urge for so long and seeing the enemy attack, he was truly excited beyond control.

He sheathed his long sword into the ground, moved his right foot back, and raised his arms to chest level, also using both palms to meet the attack!

Bang!!!

A loud explosion sounded between the two. Qiu Chuji’s many years of cultivating pure Daoist internal energy were no joke. Liang Ziweng felt an extremely powerful force from Qiu Chuji’s palms, and in a moment, he could no longer resist, being forced to stagger back by the thick internal energy.

Qiu Chuji, however, only trembled slightly and then stabilized himself. He lightly kicked the ground, and the sword embedded in the earth flew high. Qiu Chuji leaped, catching the falling sword in mid-air, and thrust it sharply at Liang Ziweng’s chest!

Liang Ziweng was also a renowned expert. Although his internal energy was not as strong as Qiu Chuji’s, the gap was not significant. After being forced back by Qiu Chuji, he was not injured. As he retreated, facing Qiu Chuji’s fierce sword technique, he extended his hands in a clapping position, attempting to disarm the sword with his bare hands!

Qiu Chuji’s lips curled into a slight sneer. Without changing his move, he only slightly adjusted his sword, turning the flat side into the sharp edge. Liang Ziweng, seeing the gleaming blade, hesitated and could not extend his hands.

Failing to disarm the sword, Liang Ziweng flipped in mid-air to dodge the sharp sword. After several flips, he landed firmly on his feet and, using only his bare hands, engaged in combat with Qiu Chuji, who held the sword!

For a moment, sword energy and palm power intertwined, leaving the onlookers in awe. They thought, indeed, there are no false reputations; these two were truly skilled experts!

After dozens of exchanges, the battle remained evenly matched. Liang Ziweng felt so moved that he almost cried. Damn, this is what a real fight feels like! Earlier, with that little demon, it was just one-sided torture. There was no joy in fighting!

After a hundred moves, seeing that Liang Ziweng still showed no signs of weakening, Qiu Chuji laughed heartily and shouted, "Liang Xianweng, you are truly skilled! I will now use all my strength. This sword technique is still in its early stages, and I haven’t fully mastered it. If I hurt you, please forgive me!"

With that, Qiu Chuji’s sword technique changed from the balanced and harmonious Quanzhen style to an incredibly fierce and sharp style. He instantly thrust out over a dozen strikes, each a simple slash or thrust, but each carried a relentless killing intent, like a general on the battlefield. The overwhelming sword energy pressed Liang Ziweng hard, and he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

This was a sword technique that Qiu Chuji had developed after hearing from Su Yi about the concept of "no move surpasses a move." He had been busy searching for Yang Tiexin and had never had the time to perfect it. Currently, it was just a rough form, without even a name.

Now, facing a strong opponent, Qiu Chuji, excited by the challenge, immediately used this technique, hoping to refine it through actual combat!

As Qiu Chuji’s sword technique changed, he seemed to transform into a different person. His entire body exuded a sharp aura, as if he himself had become an unparalleled sword. The three-foot-long green sword in his hand hummed with deep internal energy, drawing long, rainbow-like streaks, firmly suppressing Liang Ziweng, who could only passively defend, finding it extremely difficult to counterattack!

Ma Yu sighed helplessly. Although this sword technique was still in its early stages, he could see that once it was perfected, it would be one of the most ruthless and merciless sword techniques in the world, completely at odds with the Quanzhen Sect’s Daoist principles of tranquility and non-action!

However, Su Yi, hiding in the grass, had a different perspective. After a year of accumulation, Su Yi’s sword skills had surpassed Qiu Chuji’s. In his view, Qiu Chuji’s sword technique might not be the strongest, but it was absolutely the most suitable for him. Indeed, a hot-tempered person should use a hot-tempered sword technique. Moreover, this technique already had a hint of "no move surpasses a move." It seemed that Qiu Chuji had not been stagnant these past two years!

"It seems I don’t need to meddle... My master is indeed quite capable..."

Su Yi had been considering whether to teach Qiu Chuji the Nine Swords of Dugu. After all, he would eventually leave this world, and Qiu Chuji had been very kind to him. Giving him this technique wouldn’t be a loss. However, now it seemed unnecessary. Although Qiu Chuji was still feeling his way, he had already found his own path. If Su Yi gave him the Nine Swords of Dugu, it might make his path smoother, but it would also bind him, reducing his future potential!

Forget it, let him explore on his own... Who knows, he might create a sword technique as powerful as the Nine Swords of Dugu in the future?

Su Yi instantly abandoned the idea of sharing the Nine Swords of Dugu with Qiu Chuji and continued to watch Qiu Chuji dominate Liang Ziweng from the grass. Speaking of which, Liang Ziweng had a tough day. First, he was beaten by Guo Jing in the morning, then his precious snake was stolen at night. Before he could vent his anger, he was knocked unconscious by Guo Jing’s German suplex. When he finally woke up, he was tormented by Su Yi, and now Qiu Chuji was bullying him...

It was like everyone was taking turns to bully this poor old man!

Thinking about this, Su Yi almost felt sorry for killing him. After some consideration, he decided to spare him. He probably wouldn’t meet Wanyan Honglie again, and they still had some connection. He would leave him two bodyguards!

But Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu must die!!!

Su Yi, hiding in a very secluded spot, was not avoiding Qiu Chuji. He suddenly remembered that Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian knew about the connection between Dugu Qiubai and Yang Kang, and they were the only ones who knew. If they didn’t die, Wanyan Honglie would know that his son had taken Bao Xiruo. Then, he would immediately figure out where his missing wife had gone!

Bao Xiruo had just settled in Zhongnan Mountain. If Wanyan Honglie brought an army, could the Quanzhen Sect really resist?

Su Yi carefully concealed his presence, the Qingming Sword in his right hand tilted slightly, reflecting a murderous glow in the moonlight. His left hand slowly reached for the sword scabbard on his back. Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu were not weak. If they tried to escape to a crowded place, it would be difficult for Su Yi to kill them without drawing attention, and he might even run into Wanyan Honglie!

Therefore... he must ensure a one-hit kill!

It seemed that using the Black Iron Heavy Sword was the safest option. Su Yi’s eyes, filled with killing intent, were fixed on Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu, secretly sentencing them to death!
