Chapter 84

"Single Sword Cuts Through a Thousand Waves"!

This sword technique, Liu Zhe had practiced for five years. Only after he broke through to the Second Rank did he grasp the sword intent, allowing him to use this ultimate move.

After that, he officially became the successor to his master's lineage.

In the past, his master relied on this sword technique to defeat countless experts, ultimately reaching the Divine Skill Realm and achieving a legendary status.

After leaving the mountain, he was full of spirit and determination, vowing to follow in his master's footsteps and create his own legend.

Unfortunately, the first opponent he encountered was Gu Yang.

That shocking blade strike, in an impossible situation, hit the weakest point of his sword momentum.

It was a weakness he himself had never even noticed!

The essence of "Single Sword Cuts Through a Thousand Waves" is to find the weakness in the opponent's technique and break it.

Now, he was defeated by someone using his own specialty.

Pfft!

A blade intent pierced through his body, making Liu Zhe spit out a mouthful of blood, his mind blank.

He could not accept the fact that he was defeated by a single strike.

In the next moment.

A glint of the blade flashed before his eyes, and the fear of death enveloped him.

Suddenly, two slender fingers reached out from the side, firmly pinching the blade, preventing it from advancing any further.

Liu Zhe, who had just narrowly escaped death, was still trembling with fear, his heart pounding wildly.

He was just a step away from death.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and weakly said, "T... Thank you, Senior Sister..."

The one who saved him at the critical moment was his second senior sister.

...

After Gu Yang defeated Liu Zhe with a single strike, he showed no mercy, aiming the next strike at Liu Zhe's head.

Until two fingers caught the Phoenix Feather Blade, and a person appeared out of nowhere, intercepting his strike with bare hands.

His true essence was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the invincible Phoenix Feather Blade was held firmly by those two delicate fingers, unable to move an inch.

First Rank!

And not just any First Rank.

Gu Yang knew he had encountered a terrifyingly powerful opponent and immediately released the Phoenix Feather Blade, retreating rapidly to create distance.

The person who intercepted his fatal strike was a woman, wearing a lake-green dress, with a red mole between her eyebrows, exuding a lazy and mature aura.

Her lips parted slightly, her voice a bit hoarse, "Your blade technique is quite good, but your killing intent is a bit heavy." She casually put away the Phoenix Feather Blade, showing no intention of returning it.

Gu Yang's eyes twitched; this Phoenix Feather Blade was worth 200,000.

He said in a deep voice, "What is your name, miss?"

The woman's gaze roamed over him for a moment, then she said with interest, "What, are you不服气 (unwilling to accept it), wanting to settle the score later?"

Gu Yang replied calmly, "I just want to know how the previous battle counts. Or are you planning to bully the young with your strength?"

"Ha ha, I never care about others' opinions. Even if I kill you, so what?" The woman's eyes flashed with a dangerous aura.

At this moment, everyone present was on high alert, sensing the threat instinctively as martial artists.

Gu Yang remained unperturbed and said calmly, "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done so just now. If I'm not mistaken, you want me to be his whetstone, right?"

He was very confident, and this confidence came from the system.

So far, he had been acting according to the experience from the previous simulation.

This meant that in the simulation, he had also encountered this woman, and she did not kill him.

Therefore, in reality, she would not kill him either.

The woman's eyes flashed with a strange light, and a smile appeared at the corners of her lips, exuding a peculiar charm. "You really have a lot of guts. Gu Yang, right? I'll remember you. If you want your blade back, come find me in the East Sea. Remember, my name is Lan Shu."

With that, she disappeared from the spot.

Gu Yang couldn't even see her movements clearly.

He finally realized the gap between himself and a top First Rank expert.

However, she had taken his blade.

He made a mental note of this.

At this moment, a figure picked up Liu Zhe from the ground and turned to flee. It was Liu Cheng, who saw the situation was not in their favor and quickly ran away.

"Want to run?"

Gu Yang sneered, and in a flash, he was already behind Liu Cheng.

"Zhe, run fast."

Liu Cheng, hearing the sound of the strike behind him, knew he couldn't escape. He threw Liu Zhe away and turned to face Gu Yang, thrusting his sword at him with a reckless attack.

Gu Yang, in mid-air, casually broke off a branch and stabbed it into Liu Cheng's chest with a swift motion.

In his eyes, this person's sword technique was too mediocre, far inferior to Liu Zhe, and it was just a matter of one move.

The technique he used, the same one that defeated Liu Zhe, was the third move of the "Nine Moves to Destroy the Divine," the Blade-Cutting Move.

This move specializes in breaking through any technique, adapting to all changes, and finding the opponent's weakness in the instant they attack, then cutting through it with a single strike.

It has a similar effect to the "Wave-Cutting Sword Technique."

To master this move, one needs a deep understanding of various blade and sword techniques. He was able to master it thanks to the simulator, which provided him with martial experience beyond what ordinary people could imagine after so many simulations.

After mastering this move, he could almost resolve any confrontation with a single strike against opponents weaker than him.

Liu Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed, his face ashen. Gu Yang's strike had disrupted his qi, depleting his true essence and leaving him powerless to resist.

"Uncle Three—"

Liu Zhe, not far away, saw this and his eyes turned red with rage.

Gu Yang looked at him, his gaze cold, as if saying, "Next is you."

Since Lan Shu had left, it indicated that Liu Zhe could not be killed, and she didn't care about the rest.

So, he acted decisively.

Liu Zhe couldn't be killed, but could the people around him not be killed?

Lan Shu's absence confirmed his guess.

...

Liu Cheng glared at Gu Yang with hatred, gasping, "Zhe... Zhe will definitely avenge me..."

Gu Yang ignored him, dragging him to the carriage and presenting him to Su Qingzhi, saying, "It's yours now."

Su Qingzhi had already recognized Liu Cheng. He was the third most important person in the Liu family and the executioner, responsible for all the dirty work.

The destruction of the Su family was likely his doing.

Seeing her enemy, her eyes turned red with rage.

Su Qingzhi drew her short sword and rushed over, slashing at Liu Cheng's neck. Blood spurted out, splattering her face. She was still not satisfied and continued to slash...

In no time, his neck was almost severed, only a bit of skin holding it together. His head drooped, and he was dead.

Su Qingzhi finally stopped, collapsing to the ground and sobbing uncontrollably.

Gu Yang remained silent, letting her vent her emotions.
