Chapter 26: The Lonely Struggle of the National Master of the Six Pulses

  In the great hall, the heroes had already retreated to one side, clearing out a space in the center for the old master. Only a few of the strongest martial artists sat steadily watching. Chen Xiao took one glance and suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air!

  In the middle of the empty ground, three people were fighting. One person held a long sword, with purple energy all over his body, making a long thrust in mid-air, it was Linghu Chong. Another person wore a blue shirt, walking around the field, his two hands constantly moving left and right, it was Duan Yu.

  With their combined martial arts skills, they attacked one person together, but also with a serious expression, not daring to be slightly careless.

  But the one who was fighting against the two of them was a monk, wearing a yellow robe, less than fifty years old, with a linen shirt and hemp shoes. His face had a radiant glow, as if there was a subtle flow of treasure light, like a bright pearl or jade, naturally shining brightly. Chen Xiao only glanced at him for a few moments before feeling a sense of admiration and closeness. Suddenly, a name burst into his mind: "Jiumozhi!"

  The one who was fighting against Linghu Chong and Duan Yu was none other than the world-renowned number one martial artist, Ji Mo Zhi of Western Regions!

  This Qiu Mozhui was going to capture Duan Yu from the Tiandong Temple that day, but he ended up burning at his father Murong Fu's grave. Unexpectedly, he slipped away near Yanziwu, and after inquiring about the pursuit, he actually found this place.

  He was confident in his own abilities and bold by nature, so he entered the Liu mansion alone, and as soon as he saw Duan Yu, he immediately took action to capture him.

  But Duan Yu, although a bit foolish, naturally couldn't just wait for death, especially now that it was the moment when "sincerity can move heaven and earth". He didn't want to be separated from Wang Yuyan at all, so as soon as he saw Kumarajiva arrive, he immediately used his Lingbo Micro Step to confront him.

  Linghu Chong had previously drunk wine with Duan Yu and called him a friend, and knowing that Kou Zhong was unreasonable, he immediately drew his sword to help.

  Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword was invisible and shapeless, while Linghu Chong's Lone Nine Swords were extremely powerful. As the three of them clashed, swords flew in all directions, and everyone else in the scene, except for a few with the highest martial arts skills, couldn't withstand the overwhelming sword energy and retreated backwards, resulting in the current situation.

  At this moment, Yuemao Zhi held his breath and concentrated, his hands occasionally striking out with a palm, each strike bringing forth a loud whoosh of energy. The entire great hall was in disarray from his strikes, the walls covered in handprints everywhere. Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword was sometimes effective, sometimes not, but every time he released sword energy, it made Yuemao Zhi feel as if facing a formidable foe, and he dared not be careless.

  Linghu Chong, who had learned the Xianxia Divine Skill, wielded the Dugu Nine Swords with immense power, able to emit a faint sword aura. Each time he stabbed out with his sword, he could attack from a distance of about one zhang (3.33 meters), its power unmatched.

  Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword and Linghu Chong's Lone Nine Swords are both top-notch martial arts in the world, only inferior to Qiu Mozhui's Flame Knife in terms of internal energy. Although Linghu Chong and Duan Yu had just met for the first time, the Lone Nine Swords were most skilled at defense. Every time Qiu Mozhui attacked towards Duan Yu, Linghu Chong would simply raise his sword and point it out, revealing the flaws on Qiu Mozhui's body, forcing him to change his attack direction.

  Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword was all offense and no defense, with formless sword energy bursting forth, making it unstoppable.

  Alas, his Lingbo Wei Wu was quite pure and skilled, but the Six Pulse Divine Sword was obviously not used to its full potential, sometimes working and sometimes not. Otherwise, with their seamless coordination, even if Jiumozhi were one of the six greatest masters in the world, he would not have been able to gain the upper hand in a short period of time.

  Jumonji became more and more frightened as the battle went on, and in the end he simply kept his distance from the two of them, only using the slash of his Flame Sword to attack his enemies from afar.

  Linghu Chong and Duan Yu were suddenly like being caught in a storm, Linghu Chong's Du Gu Nine Swords' attack range was far inferior to Qi Mo Zhi's deep internal force of the Flame Knife, while Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword was extremely unstable, for a time they were attacked until they were busy and unable to cope.

  Chen Xiao watched anxiously from a distance, but he had no martial arts skills on him at the moment. He wanted to help but was powerless. Seeing that things were going to go terribly wrong if they continued like this, he suddenly became anxious and a brilliant idea flashed in his mind. He shouted loudly: "Duan brother, with utmost sincerity, even metal and stone can be opened! Add oil! If you lose, Wang sister will definitely be taken away by him!"

  "What does '加油' mean?" Duan Yu didn't quite understand, but the last sentence "You're going to lose, and Wang Gongzhu will be taken away by him" hit his weak spot. He immediately thought: "Right, I mustn't lose. If I lose, how can I achieve my sincere wishes? Not to mention achieving my sincere wishes, even Wang Gongzhu will be taken away by him."

  He was extremely romantic, and he could be said to have fallen deeply in love with Wang Yu Yan. As soon as he thought of this, his spirit reached its peak, and his heart and energy were connected. After learning the Northern Ming Divine Art, his internal strength had already been profound. In this urgent situation, the swordsmanship of "Shang Yang Jian" from his right hand index finger was continuous, and with a hiss, a thick and unparalleled inner energy shot towards Jiumo Zhi.

  One move was made, and the next move followed continuously, the sword energy doubled and crisscrossed, and the pressure was greatly reduced for a while. On the other hand, Ji Mo's side was under increasing pressure.

  The Six Meridians Divine Sword is also among the top five martial arts in the world of these five books. Duan Yu has temporarily overcome his occasional spiritual illness, and its power has surged violently. The entire main hall of the Liu Mansion's tables and chairs made a series of "hissing" sounds, and it was unknown how many were pierced through. Even the high-ranking masters who had been sitting and watching earlier couldn't help but lean back slightly, otherwise, if they were accidentally injured, their faces would be lost greatly.

  But as one of the six top masters, Kumojin was not so easy to deal with. The Flame Knife was fully unleashed, without any reservations. For a time, the sword energy was horizontal and vertical, the knife energy flew and danced, as if there were countless swift thunderstorms colliding and stirring, emitting a series of "Boom Boom" rumbles.

  Linghu Chong took advantage of the opportunity to move forward and pull in both sides, enclosing Jiumozhi within his own attack range.

  Duan Yu and Linghu Chong cooperated in this way, and Qiu Feng's pressure suddenly increased again.

  Unfortunately, although the two of them combined had tremendous power, they had a weakness, which was that they lacked agility.

  Linghu Chong was unable to quickly close in on the fight, while Duan Yu would not be able to combine the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Lingbo Micro Step. As a result, once Qiu Moyi adopted a mobile warfare tactic, their joint attack power would be greatly discounted.

  Jiumozhi became one of the six ultimate masters, who would not see it coming. Indeed, in the arena, he started to move around, occasionally releasing a few flame knives, with palm winds whistling. Duan Yu and Linghu Chong fought while dodging, resulting in countless tables and chairs being blown apart by Jiumozhi's palm wind, splinters flying everywhere, and plates, cups, and bowls on the tables shattering to pieces all over the floor.

  Fortunately, Kumarajiva had not exerted his strongest power all along. This was not because he couldn't do it, but for two reasons: one was that he also feared hurting innocent people and provoking public anger; the other was that there was still someone on the scene who made him most concerned.

  The main reason he didn't dare use his full strength was because of the red-clothed woman sitting not far from him!

  From that woman's body, Kumarajiva felt an infinitely powerful aura.

  An aura that is absolutely no weaker than his!

  Who is this woman? Why is she sitting here watching coldly?

  Duan Yu and Linghu Chong launched a joint attack, but he was not at a disadvantage.

  Duan Yu watched as the combined forces of the two still couldn't defeat Jiumozhi, his anxiety growing. He finished a set of "Shang Yang Sword" with his index finger and then began using his middle finger for "Zhong Chong Sword". This Zhong Chong Sword belonged to the Hand Shaoyin Heart Package Meridian, its nature was Yin, and the sword energy was also unpredictable. After making two moves with the "Zhong Chong Sword", he stretched out his left thumb, intending to use the most powerful opening and closing move of the Shao Shang Sword.

  He originally thought that the two sets of swordsmanship would be more powerful, but he didn't think that his original Six Pulse Divine Sword was not very proficient. The two sets of swordsmanship were used together, and immediately became chaotic, with reduced power, and he suddenly became busy and flustered.

  Duan Yu's martial arts skills have become a major problem, and Linghu Chong, who is standing in front of him, immediately feels a great deal of pressure.
