"Whoosh!"
The mind was calm, the qi was calm, and the wind was still.
The strings were plucked, the zither rang, and the sword qi was born.
Xu Tingxian, who had suffered several injuries, placed his hands on the zither. His temperament suddenly changed, and his sorry state disappeared. His eyes were closed, and his expression was focused. He had the demeanor of a zither master.
Seven steps away was the range where the Seven String Sword Melody's power was strongest. Xu Tingxian flicked his finger, and a strand of sword qi shot out with a clear sound.
"So what if it's the Sound Sword Technique?" Seeing Xu Tingxian change tactics, the Yaksha King revealed a disdainful sneer. His smile was filled with absolute confidence. The difference in strength between him and Xu Tingxian was not something that could be made up for with battle techniques.
He was cold and fearless. With a tap of his foot, he welcomed the sword qi. When the sword qi was about to reach his head, he stepped on the rock wall and spun around. He skillfully avoided the sword qi, and at the same time, he used the force to change his direction. His body turned into a phantom, and he stabbed at Xu Tingxian with unparalleled speed.
As long as it was close combat, the Killing Sword of Sound would be useless. But just as the Yaksha King was about to step within seven steps of Xu Tingxian, he suddenly felt a chill.
Although he did not turn around, the Yaksha King felt several sharp and threatening sword qi attack him from behind. They came from different directions, and the strength was different, but they formed a tight killing net.
"No! It's an echo! "
Thinking back to the previous battle, the Yaksha King understood in an instant that the corridors in the snake cave were crisscrossed and connected in all directions. Xu Tingxian had shown in the previous sword fight that he was using calm and steady moves to fight and retreat, but in reality, he had already been led to a crossroad in the snake cave.
Just now, it seemed like he had dodged the Seven String Sword Qi, but in reality, Xu Tingxian had done it on purpose. The sound wave scattered into the various tunnels at the fork, and was refracted and condensed by each tunnel. Finally, it turned into several waves and returned twice as much!
The Yaksha King, who was rushing forward, forcefully stopped his move and wanted to first dispel the sword qi behind him. But he was in midair and had nowhere to borrow strength from, so he was still a moment too slow. He was about to be hit.
"Don't even think about it!"
At the critical moment, Yaksha King Garuda's divine art and sword art fused together. Shapeless sword qi condensed into two sword wings behind his back. The sword wings spread out and spun in the air. The sword blade created a strong wind that shattered the rocks in its path. It forcefully pushed away the sword qi behind him.
However, just as the front wave stopped, the back wave came again. Xu Tingxian had the opportunity to counterattack, so he seized the opportunity. The sound of the zither rustled and transformed into a sonorous form. It was the sound of the golden spears and armored horses. Following his ten fingers that seemed to be flying, the righteous Qi of the Confucian Sect took form. The condensed Qi of the sword was like a magnificent army of thousands of men and horses, stepping on the ground.
Even though the Yaksha King's movements were peerless, the Sword Qi that he dodged split up and returned to him through the tunnel. The Sword Qi then multiplied and returned to him. The Yaksha King was caught in the Sword Qi Killing Formation. Even though he knew that he could break Xu Ting's Flute Sword Song if he got close, he was overwhelmed by the Sword Qi's attacks. The distance of seven steps had become an insurmountable chasm.
And the one commanding this "magnificent army" was Xu Tingxian, who had his eyes lightly closed and was completely at ease. Using the terrain of the fork in the road, he relied on the right tactics to turn the situation around and gain the upper hand.
The Yaksha King was caught off guard and was forced into such a situation by the enemy he had underestimated. The sword in his hand moved quickly and used all kinds of secret techniques, but he couldn't change the situation. Every time he received a move, the anger in his heart grew. Finally, the impatience in his heart exploded.
"Die!"
With a loud shout, the Yaksha King's wings scattered and shot out, colliding with the Sword Qi of the Sound Wave that came from all directions. The Yaksha King didn't dodge the last push before the sword wings fell off. He rushed forward at an indescribably fast speed towards the Sound Wave Sword Wave.
The Sword Qi collided with the Yaksha King's body without reservation, but the sound of metal clashing could be heard. This was the Yaksha King activating the Mahoraga Scale Armor. He used his Qi to condense into scales and condense them around his body to block the power of the Seven String Sword Song.
However, the Yaksha King's magic was the strongest, but it couldn't defeat the Sword Qi of the Sound Wave Sword Qi. The Scale Armor could only weaken the power of the Sword Qi, but it couldn't completely dissolve it. In the blink of an eye, the Yaksha King's skin and flesh were lacerated, as if he had been cut by a thousand knives.
But the Yaksha King relied on his hatred and ruthlessness. He gritted his teeth and rushed out of the area where the Sword Qi was the most concentrated, leaving a trail of blood behind.
He thought he could easily win, but who knew that he would be forced into such a situation. The Yaksha King was extremely angry. He swung his sword, wanting to bury the Wind Wave Sword Song. The move he used was the "Wind Scattering Cloud"!
"I've been waiting for this move!"
The moment he made his move, Xu Tingxian's closed eyes suddenly opened, bursting with a breathtaking expression. The seven strings of the "Palace, Shang, Jiao, Feather, Wen and Wu" were pinched at his fingertips. The strings were stretched by half a foot, like a fully drawn bow!
In fact, using the terrain of the fork to scatter and refract the Sword Qi of the Sound Wave Sword Qi and return it several times was not an easy task. The timing, angle, and distance of each fork had to be taken into consideration. Every detail had to be accurate. If the pitch was just a little bit lower or a little bit lower, it would bring about a completely different result. It would cause the Killing Song Sword Formation to lose control and collapse. Only Xu Tingxian could rely on his peerless skills on the string and the help of the Nala Magic. But even so, it consumed a lot of his mind.
Xu Tingxian was already at his limit. If the Yaksha King chose to fight for a while longer and not fight head-on, Xu Tingxian's mind would be exhausted and the sword formation would collapse.
But at this moment, Xu Tingxian's persistence finally made him wait for the only chance to win — the move "Scattered Wind and Cloud", the flaw in the Wind and Cloud Slashing Sword Technique!
Xu Tingxian's pupils shrank into a line. In his line of sight, the figure of the Yaksha King stabbing towards him seemed to overlap with the figure of Ying Feiyang during the demonstration the day before. He knew that the Yaksha King's sword technique was extremely fast and that the flaw only existed for a fleeting moment. Xu Tingxian took the initiative to attack the moment the Yaksha King raised his sword!
All the energy in his body condensed on the string and he made a fatal blow. His target was the chest and abdomen of the Yaksha King that had exposed the flaw!
"Zeng!!!!" The tune ended and turned into the sound of silk ripping. The shocking sound came out along with the Sword Qi, shaking the soil and rocks in the snake cave to the ground.
The two of them crossed swords in this instant. Then they passed each other with their backs facing each other … The lingering sound reverberated in the narrow and winding secret passage. Finally, it became smaller and smaller and gradually disappeared …
Everything returned to silence. After a long time …
"There's actually no flaw … How can this be?" Xu Tingxian's face contorted in pain. Then, with a "chi" sound, the flesh on his chest exploded. Blood sprayed everywhere and there was actually a shocking bloody hole.
"Are you disappointed that your plan failed?" The Yaksha King's long sword slanted upwards. At the tip of the sword, there was a bead flashing with Buddha's radiance. It was precisely at the same time that it pierced through Xu Tingxian's chest and seized the Buddha's Heart Sarira. The Yaksha King's anger had yet to dissipate. He raised the tip of the sword and took the Buddha's Heart Sarira into his palm. He turned around and wanted to see Xu Tingxian's expression of regret when he was on the verge of death.
"Hahahaha …" Xu Tingxian pulled at his broken lungs and let out a leaky laugh. There was no fear of death on his face. Instead, there was a look of sudden enlightenment and relief. "So … that's how it is. That's good too … the sooner I die, the sooner I can be free. This mess … will be left for others to clean up …"
"I've done everything I could. Ying Feiyang, I'll leave the rest to you!" Following this last thought, Xu Tingxian's laughter gradually stopped and finally disappeared …
Another one of the Eight Divisions had been eliminated.
The loser left in a carefree manner, leaving behind the winner's blank expression and a bellyful of resentment that had nowhere to be vented.
"You don't even care about death! You monsters, what do you care about!! "
The Yaksha King's face was blank and puzzled. Then, his face twisted and turned into boundless hatred. He held his long sword and slashed again and again. He seemed to be venting his anger as he slashed at Xu Tingxian's fake body that had already returned. Blood gradually stained his face, making him look even more ferocious.
"Why? What do you think you are! "
The power of the Heavenly Book converged into the Yaksha King's body, but it couldn't fill the emptiness in his heart. The futile and useless venting also couldn't get the answer he wanted. The Yaksha King lost his strength and sat beside a pile of minced meat. He placed the Buddha's Heart Sarira on his forehead and looked exhausted. It was as if he was praying to the Buddha and asked, "What about me? What am I? "
In the darkness, a sense of loneliness and sorrow filled the air and blended with the smell of blood …
At this moment, the sound of two footsteps broke the silence. They came from two different directions, one from the front and the other from the back.
When he saw who it was, the Yaksha King's eyes turned cold. His previous crazed and blank state completely disappeared and he regained his cold ruthlessness. He slowly stood up and the boundless killing intent spread again.
