There were not many spectators around, but none of them were weaklings.
However, when Yun Yang struck out with his saber, they were all dumbfounded.
The reason was not only because Yun Yang's sudden strike was unexpected, but because although it looked like he was attacking the three Shui brothers, the actual direction of the saber was like a billowing saber light that swept through the surroundings, covering thousands of feet of space.
In other words, even the spectators around them were within the range of the saber light; they were in danger of being attacked at every turn!
Faced with such a threatening saber energy, the crowd retreated in unison. A Saint Lord vaguely felt that something was amiss. Lifting his head to look, he felt an inexplicable force being drawn down.
Then, he saw a saber light rise into the sky like a soaring dragon.
Clang, clang, clang … A series of soft collisions could be heard.
Amidst the billowing dust, muffled noises could be heard continuously. It was obvious that an intense battle was taking place.
When the dust gradually dissipated, everyone focused their eyes and looked over, but what they saw shocked them.
The three Shui brothers were in a triangular formation, each wielding their swords and circling Yun Yang from three different directions. The surging sword light seemed to have formed an airtight barrel. It was obvious that the trio's sword techniques were extremely dense, compressing the space that Yun Yang could evade to the greatest extent. In spite of this, Yun Yang, who was surrounded by them, did not look like he was clumsy at all. Although he was masked, he was still tall and graceful, the saber in his hand was nimble and agile. It looked like a casual swing was enough to overwhelm the three Shui brothers and cause them to panic.
It had only been a few breaths' time since the start of the battle, but the combined attack of the three Saint Lords had actually put them at a disadvantage despite outnumbering him!
This situation was rather appalling. It had not even been ten breaths' time, which was just a few blinks of an eye!
Among the spectators, an elder dressed in a green robe murmured, "The three Shui brothers are telepathic and they're adept at working together to surround each other. Their combined combat power far exceeds that of an ordinary Saint Lord of the same level. How did the situation get out of hand? Did they go easy on him? That Lord Supreme Cloud's techniques aren't all that exquisite. They're far from what the rumors say … "
Another chubby man rubbed his chin. "I say, Old Liu, are you blind? Take a closer look at the saber will contained within … Supreme Cloud's saber will is directed at the flaws that could kill the Shui brothers. He doesn't have to unleash all his moves. His saber will is only a split second away and he's already at the upper hand. The three Shui brothers are more than just one move away. It's not surprising that they're at a disadvantage. "
Old Liu said angrily, "How can I not see that? However, Supreme Cloud's cultivation base is only about the same as the three of them. To solve this situation, all we have to do is to change our tactics and adapt to the local conditions. After all, it's three against one, and we have far more resources than our opponents. How come I can't get away like this? "
The short and fat man came to his senses immediately. "Not bad, not bad. That's how it should be."
He focused all his attention on the battle and his brows were still furrowed. He realized that the situation of the Shui brothers was getting worse and worse. The scene that the old man had predicted did not appear.
The three of them continued to swing their swords, sword energy dancing in the air. Countless beams of sword energy seeped out from the battlefield, slicing the surrounding void into nothingness. It was a clear indication that the trio's cultivation base was extraordinary and they were giving it their all in this battle, determined to kill Yun Yang.
In spite of this, there were more sword energy in the battlefield, but none of them were effective and could unleash the power they should.
"Something's not right … Not good … Not good!"
As the battle continued and the situation changed, not only Old Liu but the others could see the subtle change in the situation as well. It was the exact opposite of what they had expected.
It was not just the beginning that the Shui brothers were at a disadvantage. They were destined to lose right from the start. They could not even get away now.
All of them were martial experts. Recalling Yun Yang's initial strike that seemed to be a way to vent his anger, the strike that had forced everyone away, the onlookers felt a chill run down their spines.
It turned out that they had been plotting since then? Perhaps … even earlier than that?
"I understand now!"
A second level pinnacle Saint Lord with the highest cultivation base heaved a long sigh. "What an ingenious plan … From the moment the Shui brothers spoke up, before they even showed themselves, they've already started plotting … It's fine if they're friends, but if they're enemies, they're destined to lose at that moment."
As he spoke, everyone recalled the strike.
The strike looked simple and straightforward, unable to cause any harm to the crowd. However, when the saber wind swirled, it had already formed a layer of encirclement from the outside to the inside.
Then, the saber energy soared into the sky, as if it was connected to some prearranged aura …
Then, as Yun Yang swung his saber again, it combined with the saber energy that he had released earlier. It was equivalent to creating a unique aura on the battlefield at the start of the battle, one that was completely beneficial to Yun Yang.
The effect of constructing this aura was peculiar. Under Yun Yang's intentional prearrangement, it had become a perfect cycle.
As the cycle continued, it would selectively block the sword energy unleashed by the Shui brothers. If the sword energy did not pose a threat to Yun Yang, it would allow it to leak out freely; if it did, it would weaken and divert the sword energy to be used by Yun Yang. In other words, a large portion of the countless sword energy unleashed by the Shui brothers had leaked out of the battlefield while the rest were either weakened or converted to Yun Yang, all under the control of Yun Yang's Divine Edge.
This also meant that as the battle continued, the attacks from the Shui brothers, who seemed to be outnumbered, were no threat to Yun Yang at all. In addition, a portion of their attacks would be used by Yun Yang to attack them. It was no different from them joining forces with Yun Yang to attack themselves!
Moreover, they had fallen into such a situation from the very beginning!
Even though the Shui brothers were Saint Lords and were adept at joint attacks, they were still unable to fight against such a situation. They were only putting up a stubborn resistance and holding on.
It was only now that the spectators realized what was going on. It was because Yun Yang's technique was unique. Other than Yun Yang's Divine Edge, the others, even if they were Saint-level cultivators, would not be able to do so.
As the situation of the battle gradually became clearer, the crowd finally realized the truth. All of them were drenched in cold sweat, their hearts breaking out in cold sweat.
"How pitiful … to be tricked right from the start."

Today, my wife's bestie came over and talked about losing weight during this period of time. I listened from the side and both of them were chatting excitedly. My bestie asked me, "Old Zhang, guess how much weight I've lost?"
I took a look and asked, "Do you guys have some misunderstanding about the word thin?"
"I've been beaten up …"
