Chapter 85

Knowing that a major battle was inevitable, Yue Fangxing suddenly moved, swiftly retreating and drawing his heavy sword to sweep at the people behind him. Although his sword was not sharpened, it was extremely heavy, and in the blink of an eye, he had already injured several people, all with broken bones and torn tendons.

Actually, there were fewer people in front, but Yue Fangxing could tell they were well-prepared, likely informed by White Bear about his martial arts skills. The group behind him, although numbering several dozen, had appeared suddenly and were unprepared, making them easier to break through.

Seeing Yue Fangxing's formidable martial arts, the group was taken aback. Witnessing him injure several people in the blink of an eye and about to break through the encirclement, they all charged forward without hesitation. They did not want to miss this great opportunity to earn merit.

Although Yue Fangxing used all his strength, he could not completely break through the encirclement of these fearless people. Instead, he was intercepted by a few who seemed to be the leaders.

At this moment, White Bear and his group also joined the fray, leading to a chaotic battle. Seeing Yue Fangxing constantly seeking weak points to attack, an elder in the crowd, who seemed to have a higher status, directed seven skilled martial artists to surround and attack him. The others retreated to the sides, guarding the perimeter to intercept Yue Fangxing's escape.

As the people who had retreated looked around, they saw more than ten people lying on the ground, mostly with broken bones and torn tendons. They were shocked, not expecting Yue Fangxing to be so formidable, injuring so many people in such a short time, and they felt a slight fear.

In fact, this was because Yue Fangxing's heavy sword was not sharpened. If it had been, the casualties would have been much higher.

Yue Fangxing had just used his lightness skill to escape but was stopped. Now, he was surrounded by seven people. Although their martial arts skills varied, they were all top-notch or near-top-notch experts. Especially the leading elder, who seemed to be on par with him, constantly directing the others, making it impossible for him to break free. Seeing that the outer perimeter was also surrounded, Yue Fangxing had to abandon the idea of a quick escape and use the Hanyuan Sword Technique to defend himself. This sword technique, which he had practiced in the depths of the sea, was excellent for defense. Even if seven people of equal strength to Yue Fangxing attacked, it would be difficult to break through.

The Hanyuan Sword Technique was created by Yue Fangxing, and only a few people in the Huashan Sect knew about it. The seven people, of course, did not know. They launched a fierce attack, but not only did they fail to break through Yue Fangxing's defense, they even made a mistake, allowing Yue Fangxing to injure one person's leg bone. The formation became disordered, and he almost broke through. That person had to retreat, leaving only six people to attack.

Seeing this, the leading elder shouted, "Everyone, don't rush in. Take turns to wear him down!" He knew that despite Yue Fangxing's young age, his internal energy would not last as long as theirs. He then instructed the group to alternate between fast and slow attacks, taking turns to attack.

Yue Fangxing, of course, heard his words but ignored them, continuing to use the Hanyuan Sword Technique to defend himself steadily, showing no signs of anxiety. The situation became a stalemate.

In fact, the elder's words also had the intention of forcing Yue Fangxing to break through and expose a weakness. He thought that given Yue Fangxing's youth and lack of experience, he would be eager to break through when he heard about the endurance battle. However, he did not expect that the Hanyuan Sword Technique could replenish internal energy during its use, making Yue Fangxing unafraid of an endurance battle. Yue Fangxing was even thinking of wearing down the six people and then breaking through.

After a while of the six people's attack, seeing that Yue Fangxing's strength did not weaken, they realized their prediction was off. Although they did not know where they went wrong, it was clear that Yue Fangxing was not afraid of an endurance battle.

Seeing that they could not subdue him, the leading elder, worried about the situation changing, said to the person who had retreated, "Brother Chu, use your chain hammer to attack him from behind."

This was directed at the person who had retreated earlier. He had been hit by Yue Fangxing's sword on his leg bone and could not move, so he had to retreat. However, his arms were fine, and he could still move. Hearing the elder's words, he picked up his chain hammer and waited for an opportunity to attack.

Yue Fangxing, of course, heard this and was on guard, while also looking for an opportunity to break through. However, the six people were cautious, only slightly opening a gap when he turned his back to Brother Chu, allowing him to swing his hammer.

The chain hammer was indeed heavy and came suddenly. Although Yue Fangxing always heard the wind and dodged in time, it disrupted his rhythm, which was not good.

Seeing that Brother Chu was standing still, knowing he could not move, and seeing that he was about to turn his back again, Yue Fangxing suddenly swung his heavy sword with his right hand, forcing back the people in front of him. With his left hand, he bent his fingers and shot them backward without looking, aiming at Brother Chu.

Brother Chu was about to swing his hammer but did not expect this. With a "thud," he was hit in the chest, groaning and falling to the ground. Yue Fangxing used the Finger Flicking Technique, which was fast and fierce, and at close range, Brother Chu, caught off guard, was hit and could no longer attack.

With this person down, Yue Fangxing's pressure decreased. The leading elder, seeing this, instructed the others to intensify their attacks and not give him a chance to use his fingers. He then called another person from the crowd to use the chain hammer, but this person's skills were insufficient. His several attacks did not pose much of a threat to Yue Fangxing and instead disrupted the formation of the six people, causing more people to fall and almost allowing Yue Fangxing to break through.

Seeing that this method was not working, the elder said, "White Bear, you go."

White Bear, hearing this, found an opportunity to break out of the encirclement, picked up the chain hammer, and attacked Yue Fangxing. Although he was not skilled with this unusual weapon, he was tall and strong, and his attacks were powerful. He continuously circled around, looking for opportunities to attack Yue Fangxing, making him more threatening than Brother Chu.

Although there was one less person in the encirclement, Yue Fangxing felt even more pressure and encountered several dangerous situations. He knew that this could not continue and kept thinking of ways to break the deadlock.

At this moment, one of the five people in the encirclement suddenly fell, and a delicate voice called out, "Big brother, run quickly!"

Hearing the voice, Yue Fangxing immediately knew it was Qu Feiyang. She must have used a hidden weapon to cause the people to fall, and he did not know when she had arrived. However, this was not the time to think. Seeing the formation of the five people exposed, Yue Fangxing swung his heavy sword, felling one person, and was about to break through.

The five people, seeing this, were greatly alarmed. The leading elder urgently called out, "Surround him!"

White Bear, who was on the perimeter, seeing that Yue Fangxing had a helper, swung his hammer at her.

Yue Fangxing, seeing this, shouted to Qu Feiyang, "Dodge!"

Qu Feiyang's lightness skill was remarkable, and she dodged. However, this delay allowed the others to close in, and she could not break free.

"Big brother, you run quickly, don't worry about me!" Qu Feiyang shouted. She was deep in the encirclement and knew that her good intentions had caused trouble. She had been practicing hard on Zhongnan Mountain for the past few months. A few days ago, when she went out to buy supplies, she accidentally heard that the Huashan Sect was collectively on an outing. Thinking of Yue Fangxing, whom she had not seen for months, she came down the mountain to find him. When she reached Henan, she heard that a group of evil sect members were gathering at Wubagang, and it was related to the Huashan Sect, so she rushed over.

However, she heard the news a bit late and did not catch the gathering at Wubagang. She arrived today, and by then, the people on the hill had already dispersed. She came down the hill and saw Yue Fangxing and the Huashan Sect people together. Later, she saw Yue Fangxing running alone and followed him. However, her skills were not as good as Yue Fangxing's, and she did not dare to get too close, so she was left far behind. It was only now that she arrived. She observed for a while and saw Yue Fangxing in trouble, so she used a hidden weapon to help him, but ended up getting herself into trouble, falling into a crisis.
