Chapter 77

When he heard Chen Changsheng's voice, Gou Hanshi's expression became solemn.

"Mountain Ghost Splits the Rock!"

"Star Hook Across the Day!"

"Dew Drips on the Wutong!"

He also said three words in succession.

They were three moves.

Three moves from the general techniques of the Lishan Sword Sect.

The two of them did not look at Tang Sanshi and Qijian in the arena, nor did they look at the crowd on the stone steps in front of the hall.

They only looked at each other, speaking the names of the moves.

In fact, when Chen Changsheng said the first move, Gou Hanshi began to respond.

Chen Changsheng's second move was a response to Gou Hanshi's response.

Their voices drifted in the quietness before the Weiyang Palace, across the square and into the night.

Their voices were not loud, but they were very clear, especially to Tang Sanshi and Qijian, who heard them like thunder, rumbling in their ears!

Qijian's expression was solemn as he held his sword and let out a clear whistle. His thin figure left trails of cracks in the night.

The dark iron ruler sword in his hand cut through the night wind silently, like a demon, treating the rock as if it were a pastry.

Mountain Ghost Splits the Rock!

Tang Sanshi's expression suddenly turned serious, and he raised his sword in front of him—Gou Hanshi's second move was Star Hook Across the Day. He did not know what that move was, or whether it was as powerful as Mountain Ghost Splits the Rock, but he could vaguely sense that the three sword moves Qijian was using were linked, each building upon the last, layer upon layer!

If he used his own methods, he could probably handle the first two moves, but he was unsure if he could handle the final and strongest strike.

Chen Changsheng's words were still echoing in his mind.

Those four words were very clear, and he was very familiar with those four sword moves.

At that moment, he did not have time to think about why Chen Changsheng knew his family's sword techniques. Subconsciously, he raised his sword according to Chen Changsheng's words.

It was only when he raised the Wenshui Sword that he realized something was off.

...How could these four sword moves be used in succession!

Inverted Vase is the seventh move of the Yuanfeng Sword Technique, Sea Qi Sinks is the eleventh move of the Kai Zong Sword, Window Shadow Lamp is the third move of the Yuanfeng Sword Technique, and Hanging Sword in the Long Forest is the starting move of the Kai Zong Sword!

Clearly, these moves come from two different sets of sword techniques, how could they be mixed together? The way the true qi flows with each move is completely different, how could they be forcibly linked? Wouldn't that risk the true qi reversing and causing injury? He had practiced the Tang family's sword techniques since childhood and had never heard of using them this way!

No matter how confused he was, there was no time to think about it now.

Qijian's sword was already in front of him, and after the terrifying momentum of Mountain Ghost Splits the Rock, the structure of Star Hook Across the Day was already taking shape!

Tang Sanshi steeled his resolve and used the Inverted Vase move!

Then he transitioned to Sea Qi Sinks!

His true essence flowed from his meridians to his wrist, then suddenly sank, following a path he had never tried before.

Only in this way could he transition from Inverted Vase to Sea Qi Sinks.

Tang Sanshi was mentally prepared for the true qi to reverse and for him to be injured and spit blood.

However... nothing happened.

His true essence flowed smoothly through the cun guan in his wrist, sinking into the Yangming Meridian!

Not only was he not injured, the smooth flow made him want to shout with joy!

Tang Sanshi's confidence soared, and his sword moved like the wind, breaking through the sword shadows Qijian had created in the night sky, transitioning from Sea Qi Sinks to Window Shadow Lamp!

There were no problems at all!

His true essence flowed exceptionally smoothly, and he even felt that these two moves were not from different sets of techniques but should naturally be linked!

The night sky was filled with the clear sounds of sword strikes.

The spectators on the stone steps in front of the hall saw Tang Sanshi's movements become extremely strange, like a puppet with its strings cut, moving stiffly, yet giving a sense of inevitability!

No matter how powerful Qijian's sword momentum was, he could not trap Tang Sanshi.

After countless sword strikes, Qijian finally used the move Dew Drips on the Wutong.

This was also the last move Gou Hanshi had mentioned.

This move is a major technique from the Lishan Sword Sect, symbolizing the loneliness of a single wutong tree on a cliffside, surrounded by frost-covered mountains.

The sword intent was extremely magnificent, hiding a desolate and deadly meaning.

The iron ruler sword seemed to be covered in frost, slowly pressing from all sides.

Like winter entering the forest, it was slow but unstoppable.

If he had not heard Chen Changsheng's voice, Tang Sanshi would have chosen the most violent sword move, attempting to fight to the death with his opponent, or to use a scorched earth method to hit Qijian's weakness again.

But now he didn't need to.

He only used a simple move.

"Hanging Sword in the Long Forest!"

This was the starting move of the Tang family's Kai Zong Sword.

At any other time, this starting move would have been completely useless.

But earlier, Tang Sanshi's sword moves had successfully countered Qijian's first two moves and prepared for the final move.

All the preparations—angle, posture, true essence flow, and mental state—were ready.

The long forest was covered in frost.

He hung his sword on the lonely wutong.

He turned his wrist and held the sword horizontally.

The Wenshui Sword dragged across the iron ruler sword, producing a spark.

The sword did not injure Qijian at all, but it created a wind.

After the night wind, his elbow struck Qijian's sword hand.

Clean and precise, not a hair's breadth off.

There was a light sound.

The iron ruler sword whistled through the air and fell into the depths of the night.

...

...

Tang Sanshi took two steps back and sheathed his sword.

Qijian looked down at his empty right hand, somewhat dazed, and after a moment, he realized... he had lost.

In an instant, his eyes welled up with tears, and he was very sad and upset.

Seeing his expression, Tang Sanshi felt a bit annoyed and said, "What's there to be sad about? You're still stronger than me. I couldn't beat you, but... the National Teaching Academy didn't lose."

He was a proud person and had to make things clear—saying the National Teaching Academy didn't lose did not mean he had won.

Qijian tightly pursed his lips, refusing to cry, his face turning red, and said with a sob, "Thank you."

Then he looked at his most trusted and respected senior brother, wanting to understand what had happened.

Gou Hanshi was looking at Chen Changsheng.

The arena was silent.

Everyone was looking at Chen Changsheng.

Many people did not understand what had happened, and perhaps even Tang Sanshi himself could not explain it clearly.

Now, as they recalled, the key was the final sword strike and elbow hit. That strike was truly exquisite and inexplicable.

But everyone knew that the key to that strike lay in the previous sword moves.

The moves Chen Changsheng had mentioned.

Mao Qiuyu looked at Chen Changsheng, somewhat surprised. Chen Liwang looked at him with admiration. Xu Shiji and the head of the Qiushan family had very unpleasant expressions, while Mo Yu's expression was very complex. She had been puzzled earlier about how Chen Changsheng could leave Tonggong, and now she realized that everyone had underestimated this young man.

Tonight, many people truly recognized Chen Changsheng for the first time.

Including Xu Shiji and Mo Yu, who had met him before.

The wrinkles on the face of the Archbishop relaxed, and he said, "Very good, very good."

Everyone knew that his "very good" was not referring to Tang Sanshi, but to Chen Changsheng.
