Chapter 41: Swallow Retrieves Nest

  Yue Fei agreed to Yang Zai's three conditions and they clasped hands as a pledge.

  Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing each chose a ordinary white wax wooden spear from the martial arts arena, mounted their horses, separated to two sides, ready to start fighting.

  Yang Zai Xing has already obtained the Dragon Slaying Sword, and the last two conditions promised by Yue Fei are simply impossible to fulfill. Yang Zai Xing has made a huge profit today. Now it can be said that he is in high spirits, galloping freely, and seeing all the flowers of Chang'an in one day. The unhappiness of losing half a move to Niu Gao earlier has already dissipated, and what's left is just a mere formality.

  Yue Fei saw the expression on Yang Zai's face and already understood what he was thinking. Since the radish had been fed out, now it was time to use the big stick to knock him down.

  Yue Fei's vital energy surged in his dan tian, and with a loud Lion's Roar, he suddenly bellowed at Yang Zai Xing: "Halt! Yang Zai Xing, I didn't expect you to be so shallow. How can you maintain your Dao heart? Honestly, the things I promised, naturally have my own grasp to achieve. This battle now is your last chance. If you lose, from then on, you'll have to follow me as the leader, and only look up to me. If you fight too poorly, I'll stab you with one spear thrust, so as not to waste my precious Dragon-Slaying Sword."

  Yue Fei was normally gentle and courteous, speaking neither too quickly nor too slowly. But this sudden outburst of anger was absolutely the demeanor of a superior, stunning everyone present. Especially Yang Zai-xing, who had just received a severe reprimand, came to his senses, feeling so ashamed that he almost didn't know where to put himself.

  With authority already established, Yue Fei raised the large spear in his hand and shouted again: "Come on, Yang Zaixing, show me your family's prestige, show me your true skills!"

  Yue Fei's words gave Yang Zai a way out and also rekindled his fighting spirit.

  Yang Zaixing raised his right hand high, shouting: "The Yang family's descendants are not afraid of life and death, kill!" Then he spurred the horse's belly and charged towards Yue Fei.

  Ladies and gentlemen: Yang Zai Xing's actions are the pre-battle rituals passed down through generations of the Yang family generals. Once completed, he becomes completely absorbed in a frenzied state of combat, and is absolutely unrecognizable from his previous self.

  Yue Fei also swung his large spear and charged at Yang Zaixing.

  It is indeed the successor of Yang's General, Yang Zai Xing has now fully entered the state: only to see his whole body's energy surging, the back of the helmet being lightly blown by the wind. Both hands grasped the gun handle, front loose and back tight. Eyes, gun tip, Yue Fei almost formed a straight line, can't tell whether Yang Zai Xing's eyes were staring at Yue Fei or the gun tip was staring at Yue Fei. The overall momentum also became blurred, not knowing whether it was human momentum or the momentum of the big gun in hand. It turned out that Yang Zai Xing had practiced to a realm close to "man-gun unity". There is a poem praising:

  The ethereal long spear stabilizes the two gods.

  There is no other appearance and there is no benevolence.

  After refining it into an elixir and making nine cycles

  Gun follows heart movement builds meritorious service.

  Yang Zaixing and Yue Fei have approached the middle circle.

  Yang Zai Xing took the lead, grasping the white wax wood spear handle, shaking it several times.

  "Honk honk", "Vroom vroom"

  The dull thud of the big gun and the clear, crisp sound of the bullet piercing the air blended together to play a death knell.

  The gun muzzle was swinging back and forth, either up or down, suddenly left and suddenly right, making it impossible to grasp, not knowing whether the gun was rushing towards the head or charging towards the chest.

  Yang Family Spear Technique: "Yasha Dives into the Ocean!!!"

  To people around him, what was in front of Yue Fei wasn't a gun, but a group of malevolent spirits stirring restlessly, and there was no way to avoid them.

  Yue Fei saw clearly that the Yang family's spear technique was indeed famous for its name. He shouted loudly: "Come on!" The big gun in his hand stretched forward, the gun head trembled, lightly drawing one circle after another, silently and soundlessly.

  "Open Chaos, Separate Yin and Yang!!!"

  At this time, the two were less than two zhang apart and had already entered attack range.

  Yang Zaixing made a quick thrust forward, his large spear resembling a white snake, flashing towards Yue Fei like lightning.

  Yang Family Spear First Form: "White Snake Spits Out Tongue"

  Yue Fei felt a numbness in his left shoulder and thought, "It's true that I've been lenient with others' words and actions. This kid doesn't even dare to aim for my vital spots."

  Yue Fei's spear shaft followed Yang Zai Xing's large spear, lightly popping it outward, opening up Yang's large spear, then reversing his hand to thrust forward, also a move called "White Snake Spits Letter", thrusting towards Yang Zai Xing's chest.

  Yang Zai Xing's spear was deflected by Yue Fei, and his body was slightly dragged. He thought to himself that these brothers were incredibly strong, fortunately he hadn't used up all his strength yet. Seeing Yue Fei's spearhead approaching again, he quickly dodged with a "Huang Long Wo Dao" move, then adjusted his stance with a "Kuang Feng Bai Liu" move while shaking his long spear, sending three spearheads flying out in different directions: one towards Yue Fei's head, one towards his chest, and the third surprisingly aimed at the head of the white dragon horse that Yue Fei was riding.

  Yang Family Spear Method: "Phoenix Three-Pointed Head"

  Yue Fei's spear shaft still followed Yang Zai Xing's large spear, lightly popping it outward, opening up Yang's large spear, then reversing his hand to thrust forward, and surprisingly also a move "Phoenix Three Point Head", stabbing towards Yang Zai Xing.

  Yang Zai Xing had never encountered such a situation, but he didn't panic. He made one move "Black Tiger Crouches" to dodge the gun and then another move "Green Dragon Presents Melon" to protect his horse's head.

  At this time, their horses' heads met, and the two men were very close together.

  Yang Zai Xing's right hand retracted the spear and countered, using a long spear as a short one. He made a move called "pointing finger to face and supporting gun" and stabbed hard at Yue Fei's body. At the same time, his left hand drew out a single knife and made a move called "right swing and left cut", chopping towards Yue Fei.

  Yang Family Spear Technique's ultimate killing move: "Swallow Returns to its Nest".

  Yue Fei calmly put his spear into his chest, the long spear turned into a short staff, following Yang Zai Xing's spear and knife edge, he swung it to both sides, one move "Embracing the Moon in His Bosom", with two "splitting" sounds, he parried all of Yang Zai Xing's knives and spears.

  Yue Fei's move "Embracing the Moon in His Bosom" didn't use ordinary strength, but rather the concentrated energy of his entire body, known as "Dan Jing".

  Yang Zai Xing could no longer maintain his stance, his left hand and single knife were swept away, and his entire body was knocked off the horse.

  After all, he was a descendant of the Yang family, and Yang Zai Xing performed a "swallow dipping water", splitting his body to gallop back on horseback, with two horses crossing each other.

  Yue Fei and Yang Zai Xing had just met, and they exchanged blows for three rounds. Like lightning flashing, the onlookers couldn't keep their eyes off them. Until the two horses parted ways, everyone burst into applause.

  Yue Fei, relying on the "utmost sincerity" and "opening up chaos, distinguishing yin and yang", had already established himself in an unbeatable position. However, seeing Yang Zai Xing's body method being extraordinary, with wonderful moves coming out one after another, he was also impressed in his heart. Later, seeing Yang Zai Xing use the "Swallow Returning to its Nest", he finally understood the significance of the Dragon Slaying Knife to Yang Zai Xing. If Yang Zai Xing had been holding the Dragon Slaying Knife just now, it would have been dangerous. To be honest, Yue Fei relying on his internal energy to win against someone who has not yet formed their elixir is actually also an unfair victory.

  On the other side, Yang Zai Xing turned his horse's head around, still shaken, and asked: "Brother Yue Fei, is that the 'Dòu Zhuǎn Xīng Yí' (Fighting Star Shift) technique from the Suzhou Mu Rong family's ancient art, using their own method against them?"

  Yue Fei replied: "I indeed have some connections with the Murong family, but this 'Dough-turning Star-shifting', what I use is the most authentic."

  "Since that's the case, be careful, Brother Yue Fei, I'm going to use Yang Family Spear's ultimate move!" Yang Zai Xing finished speaking, shook his reins and charged towards Yue Fei on horseback.

  Will Yang Zai Xing's killing move be able to hurt Yue Fei? To be continued.
