He had lost, he had indeed lost. Beside him, the dazzling red of the severed limbs reminded Wanshou Chun of this undeniable fact, even though this result was out of his expectations.
With Wanshou Chun's foresight and level of cultivation, before the battle even began, he had already deduced the cultivation levels of Ying Feiyang and Ji Yaoyue from their breathing, their steps, and even their every movement. In stark contrast to him, this man and woman could be said to be the cream of the crop of the world. Not only were they outstanding in appearance, their physique was even more extraordinary. At such a young age, they already had an outstanding level of cultivation. But today, against the King of Ten Thousand Beasts, it was still too early for them.
One on one, the odds of victory were high. Even if it was one against two, he still had an eighty percent chance of victory. A draw was a variable. Wanshou Chun was not an arrogant and conceited person. On the contrary, his deformed physique and the countless cold looks he had received had caused him to become accustomed to measuring his opponents with a cautious, almost self-belittling attitude. This was the conclusion he had reached from this cautious attitude.
But as soon as they began fighting, Wanshou Chun realized that he was wrong.
The two of them displayed a unique combination attack technique. Two sabers and one sword, like a pair of pearls and jade, one advancing and one retreating, one attacking and one defending, all perfectly coordinated. Once they made their move, they forced Wanshou Chun to go all out.
Wanshou Chun was ultimately an expert who had gone through hundreds of battles. Seeing that he could not gain the upper hand with his moves, he switched to a steady strategy, intending to use his powerful cultivation to suppress his opponent and exhaust the man and woman's energy. By then, no matter how seamless their cooperation was, it would inevitably reveal flaws.
But things did not go as planned. After fighting for a while, the situation changed again. The opponent's saber and sword seemed to be stained with some kind of mysterious power. The long sword would suddenly appear in front, then suddenly appear behind. It was as if it could distort the trajectory of the sword and make the sword appear in any corner that was hard to find.
The two sabers were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, changing unpredictably. There was a strange rhythm between the changes, causing Wanshou Chun to be dragged into the rhythm and dance along with it. He had wanted to use defense to attack, but it gradually turned into a situation where he could only defend and had no strength to counterattack. Finally, he could not turn the tide, and could only give up on defense, trading injury for injury, and strike with all his might.
But this strike with all his might was still ineffective. Although he had struck Ying Feiyang and Ji Yaoyue once, his arms had been cut off by Ying Feiyang's sword, and the outcome was clear.
Now, the defeated Wanshou Chun still found it hard to believe, but he was convinced of his defeat. He said, "It's the power to distort time and space, right? To think that the combined attack of the sword and the saber would have such a miraculous effect. Today, I've finally seen it for myself." In the end, he was still a knowledgeable expert. Although Wanshou Chun was defeated, he was able to see through the trick.
Ying Feiyang pointed his sword at the Spring of Ten Thousand Beasts, but the trembling tip of the sword exposed the agitation in his heart. Even though he had met many strong enemies in his life, Wanshou Chun's cultivation was one of the best among all the opponents he had fought. But such an expert had actually been defeated by him and Ji Yaoyue's saber and sword … but he quickly suppressed the fire in his heart, and calmly said, "I relied on external forces to win by a narrow margin. I have embarrassed myself in front of Master Wanshou."
Wanshou Chun shook his head and said, "A gentleman's nature is not different, and he is good at using external forces. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can borrow external forces. Hehe, you used external forces to defeat me, the leader of the animals, so why should I complain?" Ying Feiyang was impressed by this Wanshou Spring who managed to cultivate his supernatural powers with a broken body. Seeing how he admitted his failure without any pretense, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that Daoist Master Wanshou's cultivation base is going to be wasted by being associated with the Path of Animals."
Wanshou Chun laughed and said, "The world judges people by their appearance, including my birth parents. Everyone sees me as a demon, belittling me, humiliating me, bullying me, and degrading me. Only the Path of Animals gave me a place to live, imparted me vital energy, and worshipped me as its master. Since that is the case, what is the pity in associating with the Path of Animals? Come, if you want my life, do it! "
Seeing that Wanshou Chun was ready to die, Ying Feiyang narrowed his eyes and said, "If Master Wanshou did not secretly circulate vital energy in his left hand, I would have done it long ago!"
Wanshou Chun was exposed, but he was not the least bit embarrassed. Instead, he grinned and said, "If you want to kill a beast, you must be careful of its dying strike! Since I am the master of the Path of Animals, I can't let the two of you barge into my Path of Animals and leave safely after coming in unscathed! "
Ying Feiyang had already instinctively sensed the danger, which was why he did not make a move. An expert like Wanshou Chun would always hide a method that would injure both sides, and wait until the moment of his death to drag the enemy down with him. He was indeed not confident that he could evade Wanshou Chun's last strike, so he chose to wait. A heavily injured Wanshou Chun would not be able to hold out for long, and would eventually reveal an opening.
Just as the two sides were in a deadlock, a mournful cry suddenly came from the entrance of the stone room. "Master, Master Wanshou, save me!" What followed after was the sound of staggering footsteps, and a figure stumbled over. It was a teenager covered in blood, clutching a bloody hole on his shoulder where a piece of flesh was missing. He dragged his bitten leg as he walked over, breaking the stalemate. It was Ban Xia, but when Ban Xia saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Ying Feiyang had released the hungry ghosts, turning the Path of Animals into a battlefield of slaughter. Everyone was in danger, and although Ban Xia was usually sought after, the Daoists of the Path of Animals could not even take care of themselves at this time. Ban Xia, who had average cultivation, had risked his life to escape from the surrounding hungry ghosts, and finally decided to escape into the underground palace. With an expert like Wanshou Chun watching over them, and a divine doctor like Chu Bainiu, if there was any safe place in the Path of Animals, it would undoubtedly be here.
But the scene in front of him was unexpected. As a hero, Wanshou Chun was kneeling on the ground, and the man and woman pointing their swords at him were exceptionally familiar.
"It's you guys?" Ban Xia saw the two people who should have been devoured by the hungry ghosts appear in front of him again, and could not help but turn pale with fright, and said in disbelief, "You guys didn't die?"
Ying Feiyang was still facing off against Wanshou Chun, while Ji Yaoyue laughed coldly, and asked in return, "What do you think?"
Ban Xia felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her face instantly paled. She asked in a trembling voice, "Then … my family's young miss?"
"Of course she didn't die, so it's your turn to die!" Ji Yaoyue said coldly, and suddenly her killing intent appeared. With a light tap of her foot, the cold gleam of her sword had already closed in on Ban Xia.
Ban Xia's legs were weak, how could she block it, and the blade was about to reach her.
At this moment, Wanshou Chun suddenly moved like lightning, and the remnants of his zhenqi poured into his legs. His domineering body fiercely crashed towards Ji Yaoyue.
And when he moved, the original stalemate also broke down. Ying Feiyang took the opportunity to attack, and stabbed his sword straight at Wanshou Chun's heart.
But Wanshou Chun did not dodge, and his body did not slow down at all. Instead, he opened his mouth wide, and let out a shocking roar.
The beast's roar reverberated in the narrow space, and the sound waves seemed to be locked in on this area of a few feet. There were no ripples in the outside world, but when it poured into Ying Feiyang's ears, it was like thunder. Ying Feiyang's eardrums felt like they were about to burst, and his long sword involuntarily trembled, and deviated from Wanshou Chun's heart to his lungs.
Wanshou Chun's lungs were pierced, but he used his ribs to block the blade of the sword, so that his body would not be pierced. He also borrowed the force of the sword to increase his speed, and was actually one step faster than Ji Yaoyue, and stood in front of Ban Xia.
