Chapter 324: Chapter 245: Sword Fight with Xu Yue, One Sword Shreds Clothing! _2

Xu Yue didn’t know the depth; from the start, attempting to use the ’Thousand Mechanism Sword Technique’ for a quick win was overly unrealistic.

In her haste, she was immediately taken advantage of by Yan Chuan.

A lifetime of calculations!

Only to be outsmarted!

Merely after thirty-two swords, Yan Chuan found a flaw; had Yan Chuan not held back, Xu Yue’s head would have already moved house.

This was not because Yan Chuan was too strong.

It was actually because she encountered a tough opponent.

Xu Yue ran into the muzzle of a gun; all her strengths became weaknesses before Yan Chuan, and her vital spots were easily cornered by Yan Chuan.

If it were a real battle, she’d surely die in frustration.

Luckily!

This was just a spar.

Xu Yue came back to her senses, her expression complicated. The swordsmanship displayed by Yan Chuan was truly terrifying, exactly her nemesis. Initially, Xu Yue had slightly underestimated Yan Chuan’s ability because he had an Innate Grandmaster backing him, but now, she dared not have even a little negligence. She retreated back into the formation, no longer daring to fight alone, only daring to join the other three talents to say to Yan Chuan, "I’m no match for you; this ’Longwo Sword Formation’ is one of the Ten Great Skills of my Purple Beard Sect. I beg your instruction!"

Longwo Sword Formation!

Finally appeared!

...

"Good!"

Yan Chuan was eager, shouted loudly, leaped up with his sword in hand like a dragon soaring from the abyss, swiftly sweeping towards Xu Yue and the other four.

This surprise attack came abruptly; in haste, Xu Yue and the other three vertically lowered their long swords, blocking at the waist, while Zhang Kui, standing at the far right, was undeterred, unexpectedly launching a counterattack, thrusting his long sword at Yan Chuan’s throat.

Clang clang clang!

Consecutive sword clashes.

Yan Chuan first swept Xu Yue and the others’ three swords aside, then tilted his head to dodge Zhang Kui’s sword.

During the exchange of swords, he was already amidst the formation.

Zhang Kui’s attack was like a rainbow, his sword momentum like the wind, a series of three swords forcing Yan Chuan into the formation.

Purple Beard Four Talents, the second Zhang Kui!

Known in Jianghu as the ’Rash Man Sword,’ his sword strikes as reckless as a brute, often beyond reason, incomprehensible. Among the Four Talents, although not as skillful as Xu Yue, he is a swordsmanship expert, only ranking below the Heavenly Pride on the "Human List," approximately similar to Fu Yunzhan. In a fair sword duel with Yan Chuan, within a dozen moves, no evident gap would appear.

Zhang Kui entangled Yan Chuan.

Xu Yue and the other three closed in again for battle.

The four of them, four sword energies coordinating, immediately forming the sword array. Four long swords agilely danced, splitting and merging unpredictably.

The skillful cooperation was secondary.

The key was that the clashing swords’ humming and the strange strength coming from the swords connected the four, the four swords forming a resonance, making one dizzy after just a moment.

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

"Excellent sword array!"

Yan Chuan exclaimed in admiration, channeling ’Purple Mist Inner Power’ to rid any erosion of strange inner strength, protecting his ears and viscera from the four swords’ humming.

Then. _{freew\ebno\vel..(c)om}

Only then did he calmly respond.

Yan Chuan did not expect to break the formation quickly; he only hoped to see through the illusions and realities of the ’Longwo Sword Formation.’

Entering the formation with his body!

One man and one sword!

Moreover, Yan Chuan brought a pair of eyes, and a mouth.

"Speed, snipe, hidden, soft and hard, illusion, changes."

"The ’Four-direction Longwo Sword’ layout is reasonable, its actions compact, connectivity seamless, linking smoothly like flowing water, continuous."

"Forming a sword array brings out the swordsmanship’s advantages to the fullest."

"Longwo!"

"Longwo!"

"A rapid river is called ’Long.’"

"A swirling water is called a ’Vortex.’"

"The so-called ’Four-direction Longwo Sword,’ ’Longwo Sword Formation,’ is to utilize sword moves, coordination, making one feel like falling into a rapid river, like being trapped in a vortex, unable to extricate oneself."

"To achieve this, you can’t do without exquisite sword moves, can’t do without close cooperation, and can’t do without the application of strength."

"Looking at this ’Four-direction Longwo Sword,’ performing it, the movement technique is neutral, sky needle to ground needle, with an empty mind and a solid abdomen, relaxing shoulders and elbows, topping the head, hanging the crotch, with Qi sinking to the Elixir Field. Using intention as spirit, Qi prompts strength."

"The strength here is surprise, pull, resilience, and tremble!"

"Scare the snake!"

"Inextricable!"

"Blowable!"

"One Sword Three Shakes!"

"Each of the four strengths generates more than a dozen changes, then these four strengths, dozens of changes, form countless combinations; every sword strike contains different strengths. Two swords, three swords, four swords coordinate, deriving more strengths. Even, when a sword strikes, it is one kind, after the sword strikes, it is another, upon collision, it is yet another."

"Constantly changing."

"Constantly deriving."

"Rely, stick, block, lift, flick, parry, bounce, maneuver, wrap, twist, top, strike, seize, dust!"

"Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous!"

"The Longwo Sword Formation is indeed exquisite."

Xu Yue and the other four wielded the sword array, the sword momentum strict, formation imposing, but Yan Chuan traversing with one sword within, showed no weakness, moving leisurely, attacking at will, one sword clashing with four, evading when he didn’t want to fight, with the sword light not touching him.

"Yan Chuan!"

On the side, Yin Ye was astonished.

To be so at ease within Xu Yue’s ’Longwo Sword Formation,’ even Zhuge Zhen might not be able to do it.

Could Yan Chuan’s ’Eighty-One’ possibly be stronger than Zhuge Zhen’s ’Fifty-Two’?

No!

No!

"It’s certainly because Sister Xu and the others are cautious of Yan Chuan’s backing, not daring to exert full strength."

Yin Ye realized.

’Longwo Sword Formation,’ showing no mercy.

The four-person, four-sword coordination, one sword after another, aims to draw people into, drive them into torrents, vortices, rendering them helpless forever.

It’s not only exquisite, but also extremely aggressive.

Yet now, due to caution, Xu Yue and the others dare not truly unleash killing moves, dare not harm Yan Chuan, naturally diminishing the power of the ’Longwo Sword Formation.’

It’s not that Yan Chuan surpasses Zhuge Zhen!

It’s truly because the ’Longwo Sword Formation’ hasn’t exerted full strength.

Yin Ye saw through it.

Naturally, Yan Chuan inside the formation could also sense it, and with a quick thought, he knew where the problem lay, smiling inwardly without taking it to heart.

There was no need for him to prompt Xu Yue and the others to go all out, even if he suggested, Xu Yue and others would remain cautious, constrained.

To make them exert fully, without reservation, there was no need to say it aloud, as long as he could make them feel real pressure, naturally, they wouldn’t be able to hold back.

"Kill!"

Yan Chuan shook his long sword, changing his momentum and sword move.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, Yan Chuan fiercely counter-stabbed, a sword directly pointing at Zhang Kui’s chest. This move was extremely fast, dreamlike and illusory, none other than the move from Heng Mountain Swordsmanship’s ’Hundred Changes and Thousand Illusions Hengshan Cloud Mist Thirteen Forms.’

"Bad!"

Zhang Kui had never seen this, panicked and retreated immediately.

But it was too late.

With a tearing sound.

His chest was already slashed with a long cut by Yan Chuan’s sharp sword, his clothes torn, and his chest muscles also cut. Though the injury wasn’t serious, this sword scared him into a cold sweat.

"Murderous!"

Zhang Kui, shocked and furious, cursed loudly, disregarding any reservations, in one breath, rushing towards Yan Chuan with full force to kill.

Indeed!

There are only wrong names, no wrong titles.

Zhang Kui’s reputation as the ’Rash Man Sword’ was truly fitting.

A slight provocation by Yan Chuan, and Zhang Kui fell for it.

Zhang Kui went all out.

But it wasn’t enough.

Fortunately, Yan Chuan had long planned, while blocking Zhang Kui, continuous sword moves followed, a long sword like a spiritual snake, endlessly vibrating, shuttling through the sword lights and sword formation of Xu Yue and the others.

"Can’t hide anymore!"

Xu Yue, Zuo Shimei, both ashamed and angry.

Yan Chuan, just now a sword blew open Zhang Kui’s front clothes, leaving a sword mark on his chest, since Zhang Kui was a big boor, it wasn’t a big deal.

But the two sisters were delicate ladies.

Not to mention leaving a sword mark on their chest, even just the clothes being shattered in this public setting was utterly unacceptable.

Yan Chuan had gone too far!

So, the two girls dared not hold back anymore, only able to press Yan Chuan with their strongest sword moves.

Zhang Kui!

Xu Yue!

Zuo Shimei!

In this sword array, the three added strength, leaving Chen Yi being driven, carried along, unable to hold back even if he didn’t wish to, else he would hurt himself.

No choice for him!

Four swords crisscrossed, darkened the sky!

At this point, the power of the ’Longwo Sword Formation’ finally fully manifested.

Clearly, led by Xu Yue, she manipulated the sword array’s countless strengths, calculating constantly, using the ’Thousand Mechanism Sword Technique’ to challenge Yan Chuan again.

Sword moves!

Strength!

This time, whether the ’Longwo Sword Formation’ or the ’Thousand Mechanism Sword Technique,’ the increase in power was more than several-fold!

This Xu Yue!

A true genius!

Being able to think of integrating the ’Thousand Mechanism Sword Technique’ with the ’Longwo Sword Formation’ is truly visionary. And she actually mastered it, which is even more extraordinary!

"Chufeng List" ranked ninety-seventh!

’Thousand Mechanism Sword’ Xu Yue!

At this moment, finally showing her might.
