"Nine Swords of Dugu — Sword-Breaking Style!"
Taiyuan Courier Station, east side.
Dugu Xin gritted his teeth in the face of the dozen or so bolts of Sword Qi flying toward him. Mustering the remaining True Qi in his body, he leaped into the air with his sword and executed the most complex and exquisite Sword-Breaking Style of the Nine Swords of Dugu!
The essence of the Nine Swords of Dugu was that the moment one saw a flaw in the opponent's moves, one would exploit it to strike first. Although Dugu Xin's Nine Swords of Dugu was not as proficient as his Solitary Wind Swordsmanship, he had already grasped the sword will of the Nine Swords of Dugu. The Nine Swords of Dugu was a set of swordsmanship that placed great emphasis on sword will. The crux of it was the sword will and not the moves.
In that instant, Dugu Xin had seen through the flaws in the swordsmanship of the dozen or so people. Infusing True Qi into his sword, he executed the Dugu Family's unique lightness technique and flew toward the Turkic spy at the very front. His speed was extremely fast. Seeing that Dugu Xin was advancing instead of retreating in the face of their attacks, the Turkic spy was first stunned, then overjoyed. But in the next moment, the joy on his face froze!
Because Dugu Xin's sword had already arrived!
This Turkic spy loved to advance prematurely, so he was at the very front. Moreover, the sword move he executed was also a sure-kill move that only attacked and did not defend. Thus, the area around his left rib was completely exposed to the opponent. Dugu Xin arrived in front of the Turkic spy. With a flash, he dodged the other party's attack and turned to stab his sword at the other party's left rib. With the Turkic spy's current position, there was no way he could save him in time!
Splat ~!
This was the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh! The sword in Dugu Xin's hand pierced through the Turkic spy's left rib and into his heart without any hindrance!
"Ah …!"
The Turkic spy was only halfway through his wretched howl before he breathed his last and plummeted from the sky!
Xuan Ye, who was rushing towards Dugu Xin, and the others behind him all sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw this, and they couldn't help but slow down their advance.
Fast! Too fast!
From the moment he swung his sword to the moment he killed his opponent, it took less than two breaths of time. In other words, it was only the time of one move!
Before this, who would have thought that Dugu Xin would be able to kill a martial arts expert at the peak of Qi Transforming Stage in a single move?
Didn't they say that Dugu Xin was heavily injured and had less than a tenth of his strength left? But why was this guy even more ferocious than before?
In fact, it was not that Dugu Xin had become stronger. On the contrary, his current state of strength was far inferior to when he had not been injured in the morning. There was no doubt about this. His current state only looked very fierce, but only he knew the actual state of his body.
Whether it was injuring more than a dozen Turkic spies with a single sword or killing a Qi Transformation Stage expert with a single move, Dugu Xin had done it under the premise of overdrawing his own life potential. In addition, the Solitary Nine Swords and Solitary Wind Swordsmanship were indeed exquisite and peerless supreme swordsmanship, and he had to pay a heavy price for it!
Bam ~!
The Turkic spy whose heart had been pierced by Dugu Xin's sword fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, Dugu Xin also landed on the roof. However, if one were to look closely, one would be able to see that his body was a little unstable at this moment!
However, the night was very dark. Although there were many scattered torches on the ground, the light on the roof was still very poor. Thus, Xuan Ye and the others did not notice this detail.
"Who else? Bring it on if you don't want to die! I, Dugu Xin, will accompany you to the end! "
Dugu Xin roared as he faced Xuan Ye and the others with his sword in hand.
There was a hint of heroism and arrogance in his voice. Apart from that, there was also a hint of the sorrow of a hero at the end of his road!
Dugu Xin knew that he was truly an arrow at the end of its flight. He could not hold on for much longer! If the other party charged at him without regard for anything else, he would probably only be able to last a few rounds at most!
However, the people behind Xuan Ye were frightened out of their wits by Dugu Xin's arrogant roar. They all stopped their attacks and landed on the roof. Xuan Ye was enraged when he saw this. He roared angrily and said, "You bastard!
He roared, "A bunch of idiots! He's just scaring you! Are you so easily frightened? Even if he wasn't injured, even if he was in peak condition, he still wouldn't be a match for us! All of you, attack together and finish him off as quickly as possible! Kill anyone who dares to take another step back! "
Xuan Ye couldn't be blamed for being so angry. The situation on the battlefield was truly very unfavorable for them. Their ten-some experts were being held back by Dugu Xin alone while the rest of them were fighting with the two-hundred-some Imperial Army soldiers. The Imperial Army soldiers were in groups of three, helping each other out. Their coordination was ingenious, and they fought very methodically. As a result, Xuan Ye's men were at a complete disadvantage. In just a few moments, several of their men had already died at the hands of the Imperial Army!
In such a situation, every time they lost a man, the pressure on the survivors would increase. This was because the Imperial Army soldiers who had been besieging Dugu Xin would go and help the other Imperial Army soldiers who were still fighting after they were freed up.
This was a chain effect. Once they were at a disadvantage, it would only get worse and worse until all of them died here!
"Yes!"
The people behind Xuan Ye couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, but they quickly reacted. That's right. Didn't they already defeat Dugu Xin in the south of the city when he wasn't injured? Although they didn't know why Dugu Xin looked so fierce now, it was impossible for him to have recovered from the injuries he suffered in the morning. As such, their chances of defeating Dugu Xin again would be even higher!
That's right, these people were the ones who had followed Xuan Ye in the morning to ambush and injure Dugu Xin in the south of the city!
Understanding this, the crowd gathered their morale. Under Xuan Ye's lead, they once again raised their swords and stabbed at Dugu Xin!
Dugu Xin groaned inwardly. He had taken the initiative to attack and kill a peak Qi Transforming expert with one strike in order to intimidate these people and make them cower in fear. This way, he could buy as much time as possible for Li Tai to escape. However, Xuan Ye didn't fall for it. He had no choice but to raise his sword and continue fighting. After all, the Imperial Army's victory wasn't assured yet. He still had to buy time for the Imperial Army!
However, there were some things that couldn't be done with persistence!
Dugu Xin's Solitary Nine Swords and Solitary Wind Swordplay were exquisite, but these two swordplay only attacked and didn't defend. They consumed a lot of Qi. After the previous two strikes, Dugu Xin's Qi was almost depleted. Even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook a meal without rice. Even if he forcefully raised his Qi, it would be difficult for him to withstand this round of attacks from Xuan Ye and the others!
This was indeed the case!
After Dugu Xin found the weakness of the two Turkic spies and stabbed them with his sword, the other two Turkic spies stabbed at his back like lightning. At the same time, Xuan Ye flicked his sleeve and three thin needles flew toward Dugu Xin's left and right shoulders, as well as three inches above his dantian!
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Xin seemed to have fallen into a desperate situation. The situation changed so quickly that it caught everyone off guard!
Dugu Xin used his Light Body Movement Technique to dodge, but due to the lack of Qi, his movements were still half a beat too slow. The two long swords directly pierced through Dugu Xin's shoulder blades, while the three thin needles that flew towards him pierced into his left and right shoulders and abdomen respectively. Compared to the position that Xuan Ye had originally aimed at, the needles were about an inch off target!
"Puff … puff … puff!"
The first two sounds were the sound of sharp swords piercing flesh. The last sound was the sound of Dugu Xin, who had yet to recover from his injuries, being injured again. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which contained bits of his internal organs!
Although these two swords hadn't taken his life, they had aggravated his injuries. If he wasn't treated in time, he wouldn't be able to live for long!
More importantly, the three thin needles that Xuan Ye had driven into his body were coated with poison. In less than an hour, he would die from the poison!
"I! No! Can! Die! "
At this moment, Dugu Xin could clearly feel the strength in his body rapidly dissipating. He knew that this was a sign that he was about to fall into a coma or die. However, Dugu Xin was unwilling to fall just like that. This was because below the roof was still his comrade who had fought with him for many years. And behind him was Li Tai in the main building of the posthouse! No matter what, he couldn't allow Li Tai to fall into the hands of these Turkic spies!
"Ahhh!"
Dugu Xin, who was on the brink of death, suddenly let out a deafening roar. Then, the rapidly dissipating strength in his body miraculously gathered back together. Wielding his sword, he turned around and swept it across, beheading the two Turkic spies behind him who hadn't been able to react in time!
However, Dugu Xin's series of movements had caused the two swords that had pierced into his shoulder blades to leave a deeper and wider wound on his shoulder!
Blood flowed like a river!
Blood instantly dyed Dugu Xin's entire back red. His eyes were red, and his hair was disheveled from the battle. He looked like a crazed demon!
"General!"
Dugu Xin's roar finally attracted the attention of the Imperial Army soldiers who were fighting with the Turk spies. Seeing Dugu Xin's figure swaying on the roof with two swords sticking out of his back, the eyes of the Imperial Army soldiers turned bloodshot, their eyes bulging out of their sockets!
The man on the roof was not only their respected commander, but he had also ignored his injuries to face the enemy's strongest experts alone. How many generals in the world would cherish their soldiers so much?
"Protect the General!"
"Quick! Protect the General! "
Thus, the Imperial Army soldiers gave up on fighting the Turkic spies and rushed toward Dugu Xin with all their might! That man was their spiritual pillar. They couldn't allow him to fall!
