Chapter 38: Fierce and Perilous Battle

  A middle-aged man in a white robe stood on the wall of the courtyard, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he identified the identity of the black-clothed leader. Without hesitation, he rushed into the courtyard, landing like a large bird and creating a fluttering arc line, instantly falling into the small courtyard.

  He flipped his right hand, and a cyan light burst forth. A three-foot-long cyan sword appeared instantly, bringing with it a trail of cyan light that wrapped around the three-foot-long sword tip as it shot towards the black-robed man leading the group.

  Two black-clad men wielding long swords burst into the room, their blades flashing brightly as they charged towards the side chamber. Inside the side chamber, Madame Du and her daughter sensed something was amiss and hastily retreated from the window, intending to dodge out of the way.

  At this moment, Du Feiyun's attack arrived. A pair of crimson fist shadows the size of a face basin, carrying scorching energy, chopped towards the back of the leading man, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron also brought up a hint of black light, like a millstone, heavily smashing down on the head of the ninth junior brother.

  If the two men in black had disregarded Du Fei Yun behind them and focused on killing Du's mother and daughter, they would have suffered heavy losses. Thus, in that instant, the two almost simultaneously turned their bodies around, their long swords swiftly slashing towards Du Fei Yun behind them.

  As for the slender black-clad youth, he was now manipulating a flying sword to attack Du's mother and daughter in the courtyard. However, the white-clad man fell into the courtyard, shot the flying sword at the leading black-clad man, and then took swift steps, arriving instantly beside the black-clad youth, striking him with a powerful and forceful kick.

  Among the three black-clothed men, the slender black-clothed youth was the weakest. He was attacked by the white-robed man with a kick, and he dodged it in an instant, recalling his flying sword to focus on countering the white-robed man's attack.

  The indoor space was smaller, and there was almost no room for Du Fei Yun to dodge. When the two men in black suddenly turned around, holding long swords and charging towards him, he had no choice but to retreat hastily. The Cloud Step was launched, and his body instantly retreated a zhang away, rushing towards the eaves of the house.

  Two three-foot-long sword blades with sharp whistling sounds, relentlessly pursued Du Feiyun, instantly breaking through a distance of one zhang, and shot to Du Feiyun's chest. At the sight, Du Feiyun's retreating speed was far from keeping up with the long swords' speed, and in the next moment, he would be torn apart by the two long swords.

  Those two men in black clothes had a hint of triumphant smile in their eyes, with fierce killing intent boiling over, and their faces were filled with bloodthirsty delight. It was as if they had already seen Du Fei Yun being cut to pieces by sharp swords.

  It's a conspiracy! Two men in black pretended to attack Du's mother and daughter, and under Du Feiyun's anxious assistance, they suddenly killed him with a backhand, leaving him caught off guard and in danger.

  This plan is indeed sinister. Du Fei Yun can still rely on his superb physical skills to dodge in the courtyard and use his Cloud Step to fight with the two men. But in this narrow room, he has nowhere to hide, and if he retreats, he will only be pierced through the chest by the two long swords.

  "Bastard, go die!" Two angry shouts burst out almost simultaneously in the courtyard.

  In front of him, the two men in black clothes suddenly burst out with intense sword light, and in an instant, they drew 81 sword shadows. Layer upon layer of sharp sword light was like a folding fan, overlapping each other, enveloping Du Feiyun all around.

  Behind him, the slender black-clad youth who was dodging and weaving also saw an opportunity, wielding his flying sword to slash through the night sky towards Du Fei Yun's back.

  "Nine Nine Return to One!!" The white-robed man's eyes suddenly widened, and the sharp light in his eyes flashed violently. In just an instant, he recognized that the sword move made by those two black-clad men was precisely the most powerful move in the Qing Shan Condensed Sword Technique. This move was the most ruthless killing move in this set of sword techniques!

  A dazzling sword light filled the air, confusing his eyes, and Du Fei Yun was unable to distinguish which sword was the killing move and which were illusions in an instant. He could only exhaust all his strength to burst out all the yuan force in his body, and in an instant, he manipulated the Nine Dragon Cauldron to appear in front of him with his mind, hoping to dodge this sky-full of sword lights' absolute kill.

  However, even if he could block the joint fatal blow of the two men in front of him, the sharp sword energy coming from behind made him realize that there was also a flying sword attacking from behind. At this time, his body was surrounded by sword light, and he could only dodge forward or backward, with no way to flash sideways to avoid it.

  Forward, he would inevitably be torn to shreds by the dazzling sword light. Backward, he would inevitably be pierced through the chest by the incoming flying swords. In any case, he was bound to die! The Nine Dragon Cauldron could block some of the sword shadows, but it was absolutely impossible to block all the attacks, let alone save his life!

  What's wrong?

  At this critical moment of life and death, there is no room for even a slight hesitation!

  Play the trump card, go all out! In an instant, Du Feiyun made a decisive decision. After all, if he didn't use the bottom card of the Nine Dragon Cauldron at this time, he might have to swallow his regret on the spot.

  He could only hope to be able to inflict mutual damage on his opponent and then leave the rest to the white-robed man behind him. At this moment, he chose to believe in the white-robed man behind him, because from more than a month of understanding, he knew that this white-robed man would definitely not let him down.

  Because he is Xue Rang! Du Fei Yun knew that he was more than just a divine doctor.

  The Nine Dragon Cauldron burst through the night sky in an instant, bringing with it a sharp whistling sound, and suddenly appeared in front of Du Feiyun's chest. The original three-foot-square Nine Dragon Cauldron instantly transformed into a one-zhang-square size, like a giant boulder, lying horizontally between Du Feiyun and the two black-clothed men.

  The bottom of the Nine Dragon Cauldron faced Du Fei Yun, revealing a one-zhang-square gigantic mouth towards the two black-clad men, dark and dull, without any luster, captivating the heart.

  Two men in black had already rushed to within six feet of Du Fei Yun, and were about to kill him with their swords. However, just as they were about to strike, a huge black hole suddenly appeared in front of them, causing them to widen their eyes in shock and terror.

  Although the two did not know what was strange and ominous inside this dark cave, they knew from their keen intuition that this dark cave was extremely dangerous. If they were slightly careless, they would lose their lives in that black hole.

  However, the two of them charged forward with too much momentum and speed, and within this short distance of just a few feet, they were completely unable to stop their bodies. Even though they knew that the black hole in front of them was extremely dangerous and terrifying, they still couldn't stop themselves from charging forward.

  Something even more terrifying happened, and the black hole's mouth suddenly burst out with an unparalleled suction force, instantly sucking away all the air within three feet. Along with the two men in black clothes, their bodies were also pulled by the huge suction force towards the black hole.

  The situation in the field suddenly turned around, and the momentum suddenly reversed. This time, it was the turn of the two men in black to pale, their faces shocked. They burst out with a fierce cry, releasing the yuan force from their bodies, and their surroundings were instantly filled with intense light, intending to retreat backwards.

  A man of medium build, known as the Ninth Young Master, held a long sword in his hand and instantly drew hundreds of sword shadows in front of him, forming a dazzling array of sword light to momentarily block that terrifying suction force.

  The leading tall and thin man was the strongest, his eyes were also extremely sharp. In this short moment, he understood many things. The sudden appearance of this black hole could not be touched, otherwise it would be sucked in and there would be no survival. That white-robed man who suddenly appeared halfway through and joined the battle for no reason must be a friend of Du Fei Yun's.

  What's more important is that he saw that the white-robed man's strength was in no way inferior to his! In fact, in terms of the purity and thickness of Yuan power, the white-robed man was even deeper than him!

  Disadvantage! It seems that I won't be able to fulfill my wish tonight and can't avenge my father!

  In the briefest moment, the black-clad man leading the way seemed to understand everything. A hint of sinister intent flashed in his eyes, and he made a decision in an instant. Suddenly, the long sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling light, unleashing its full power as it struck the back of the ninth junior brother standing beside him.

  The ninth junior brother's back was suddenly attacked, and the momentum of the front charge accelerated. He could no longer resist the suction of the Nine Dragon Cauldron and plunged headfirst into the dark entrance. Until he disappeared into the black hole, his pale face still had a hint of surprise, and the sound of his doubting shout still echoed in the courtyard.

  "Sixth Brother, you......?"

  Unfortunately, the sound stopped abruptly, and that ninth junior brother was sucked into the Nine Dragon Cauldron, after which there was no more sound. As for the leading sixth senior brother, he relied on the force of the backlash, his body shape suddenly exploded back, flashing out several feet to the side, barely avoiding the suction power of the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

  Du Fei Yun's face turned pale as he stood in place, his hands tightly attached to the bottom of the Nine Dragon Cauldron. In an instant, he poured out all the yuan force inside his body. At the same time, a bright red transparent flame suddenly burst forth from the dark mouth of the Nine Dragon Cauldron, like a boundless sea of fire. The scorching high temperature radiated outward, causing the surrounding air temperature to rise by tens of degrees in an instant.

  That ninth junior brother who was sucked into the Nine Dragons Cauldron was immediately incinerated by the transparent crimson flames, without even letting out a groan, and turned into a cloud of black ash.

  However, Du Fei Yun successfully used his trump card to kill the Ninth Junior Brother, but the Sixth Senior Brother escaped safely. More importantly, at this moment, the blue flying sword behind him was already approaching his body, and the sharp sword energy had torn apart Du Fei Yun's back clothes.

  "Is it going to be pierced through the chest by the flying sword?" Du Feiyun's face showed a hint of bitter smile, his eyes somewhat dim.

  However, all that could be heard was a clear and crisp "ding" sound, and the sharp sword energy suddenly stopped, unable to advance even an inch. The sword tip that had already pierced through Du Fei Yun's back skin also ceased its trembling and flashing, losing its sharpness and intimidation, gradually dissipating.

  After a brief moment of stunned silence, Du Feiyun suddenly understood that Xue Rang had not disappointed him after all.

  After using the Nine Dragon Cauldron, Du Fei Yun's body had been drained of its yuan energy, and he no longer had any strength left in his body. He slowly turned his head around, only to see Xue Rang standing quietly behind him, dressed in a white robe, with his right hand stretched out in front of him, holding a shining object.

  His right hand was a massive cyan hand shadow condensed from yuan force, and in the cyan hand shadow, he was grasping a cyan flying sword that was still vibrating and humming.
