Chapter 993: Chapter 11 The Little Snake Achieves Merits [Two-in-One]_2 Chapter 993: Chapter 11 The Little Snake Achieves Merits [Two-in-One]_2 He retreated faster, much faster!

The gleam of the blade as it passed had already pierced the masked man’s right chest, spattering blood from his right shoulder.

Even before the blade reached him, the chilling Blade Qi had already ignored the spiritual defenses, forcibly piercing through skin and flesh.

And by the time the blade truly struck, another shoulder had hit the ground.

The man in black with the covered face revealed an expression of disbelief and desperation in his eyes.

He had seen many of his brothers die this way. Now, was it his turn?

Despite all his planning and feeling fully prepared, he was still no match and facing imminent defeat?

What kind of blade was this?

At the moment when death’s scythe was looming and his life was about to be reaped…

With a swoosh, a sword shot out, crossing the sky, and with a clang, it struck Feng Yin’s blade squarely.

It was the leader of the men in black who flew to the rescue after repelling Dong Tiesong, but it was still too late, only managing to furiously throw his sword.

Yet, this strike unexpectedly had an immense effect!

The sharpness of Feng Yin’s blade was indeed beyond imagination, superior to common knowledge, and could be said to be the sharpest in the world, without a doubt.

But the flat side of the blade, without an edge, took the full brunt of the strike powered by most of the masked leader’s cultivation, solidly hitting the dull side of the blade.

Feng Yin’s blade buzzed in his hand, and his body was immediately forced three steps to the side. His wrist cracked, dislocating on the spot. Fortunately, he clung desperately to the blade, barely managing to resist and avoid dropping it.

Still, Feng Yin felt his blood boiling as if it had been cooked, his vision darkening intermittently, knowing he had suffered internal injuries.

Reacting quickly, Feng Yin retreated three steps and immediately started circulating the Spiritual Transformation Technique throughout his body.

While continuing to circulate his power, he switched the blade to his left hand and used his right hand to push against his dislocated left elbow, exerting force in the opposite direction. With a crack, the dislocated bones snapped back into place.

The blade in his hand flickered with Qing light, its might undiminished, and even more, a tangible killing intent radiated out, filled with a ferocious aura.

Clearly, the blade, which had been prospering since its awakening, always cutting through obstacles effortlessly, had been unexpectedly struck this time. Feng Yin was injured, but the blade felt the blow even deeper, its ferocity ignited.

Damn it, I’ve never suffered such a huge loss before!

The blade, having been struck by the opponent’s sword, felt its ferocity surge and felt humiliated.

I was actually hit?

Although it was the blade with the spirit that was struck, the other blade, devoid of sentience, was merely a shape, nothing but a vessel; only the blade with the spirit could truly feel the impact.

You dare to strike the blade I inhabit?

And to make me dizzy from the shock, this is unbearable, completely intolerable!

“Stay calm… we can’t win right now…”

Feng Yin urgently communicated with his mind.

If Feng Yin’s self-awareness was to be considered second in the world, then it’s very likely that there wouldn’t be a first.

He was well aware of his strengths, weaknesses, advantages, and disadvantages.

When cultivation, blade technique, momentum, and spirit… all converged together, his move could even slay those across a higher realm.

But if the opponent managed to defend against it, then it would be his own turn to face death, extremely dangerous!

Even in Feng Yin’s understanding, the opponent’s desperate strike thrown in haste could very well be the only way to break through the Sky Opening Nine Styles.

It was the epitome of avoiding sharp edges and striking vital points!

Considering his cultivation wasn’t nearly as strong as the opponent’s, he was already very fortunate and lucky the blade hadn’t slipped from his hand!

The man in black facing Feng Yin narrowly escaped death, dripping with cold sweat, “Thanks to the boss for saving my life.”

“No worries, this kid’s blade and technique are quite peculiar, we need to be particularly cautious.”

With that, he suddenly raised his voice and bellowed, “Attack again, Dong Pingchuan! Other than the man facing him directly, everyone else should prioritize attacking the flat side of the blade to avoid its sharp edge!”

“Yes!”

All the men in black responded in unison, their spirits lifted.

Finally, they had found a way to deal with this kid.

Feng Yin laughed heartily, “So it’s just a bunch of cowards too scared even to kill, but has the audacity to claim they can take on the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace!”

Feng Yin, being clever, understood as soon as he heard the words ‘prioritize attacking the flat side of the blade, avoid its sharp edge’.

If the primary aim is to kill the enemy, wouldn’t it be more direct to attack the person instead of their weapon?

“All talk and no action!”

The man in the black mask snorted coldly, “If we can’t catch Dong Xiaoyan, catching him will do too!”

With this statement, the dynamic of the battle changed again.

Dong Xiaoyan bellowed loudly, “We had an agreement on whom to catch, how can you just change your mind like this?”

Everyone looked sideways at the outburst; if it weren’t for the danger and severity of the battle, they almost would have laughed out loud.

Is there really someone fighting to be captured?

Just then, several men in black who were being attacked suddenly screamed aloud, “Snakes!”

These cries were not from just one person but from six people, almost simultaneously exclaiming in shock!

The leader of the masked men looked around and was startled to see several dark figures flash briefly; some darted off and disappeared into the bushes, others burrowed directly into the ground.

Of the six who had cried out earlier, only one was lucky enough to avoid the bite, while the other five were all bitten on the ankle.

A trail of black visibly spread up their thighs, and even with their deep cultivation, trying to suppress it was hardly effective, truly a fierce poison!

Although the poison of the Ghostly Soul Snake wasn’t as maliciously insane as the Snake Emperor, it was still a descendant of the Imperial Clan, and its effect was very quick!
