[Second Watch of the 30th]
Shi Changxiao, Solitary Eagle, and Lei Wu Bei didn't dare to neglect Li Jue Tian's charge. They quickly shifted their positions, and took up their positions in a split second. Then, they attacked in sequence. They hadn't discussed any strategy beforehand, but which one of them wasn't a veteran of a hundred battles? Everyone's position was the best for coordinating with the other two. Moreover, it was the best position for Li Jue Tian.
Li Jue Tian's figure gradually faded as he rushed forward. He had attacked at the fastest speed possible. Venerable Mei snorted, and punched out.
Li Jue Tian's body shrank, and arrived in front of Venerable Mei. But, he slid to the side like a loach, and retreated diagonally. Then, two fists suddenly shot out from his original position, and collided with Venerable Mei's fist. Solitary Eagle soared into the sky at the same time. He unleashed his Eagle Agility Technique at full speed, and swooped down from the sky. [Nine Claws of the Ghostly Eagle — First Move!]
Lei Wu Bei's black blade shone once again. It drilled out from under Shi Changxiao's ribs, and pierced towards Venerable Mei's chest. It enveloped a radius of five feet around his upper body. This was a battle of honor and life. So, he had to fight even if he was stingy with his treasured blade.
Meanwhile, Li Jue Tian's retreating figure turned around at a high speed like a spinning top. He changed the momentum of his retreat, and returned to launch another fierce attack from Li Jue Tian's side.
The four men attacked first, and then followed. But, their coordination could be said to be seamless. Their attacks were aimed at Venerable Mei's vital points. Moreover, each of their attacks was strange and unpredictable.
On the surface, it seemed as if the four of them were using simple punches and kicks. But, Venerable Mei was well aware that no matter which one of them she faced, it would turn into a torrential torrent of complicated attacks. And, she would be entangled by the other party in a very short time. As for the other three's true trump cards, they would be unleashed the instant he was entangled in the battle!
Venerable Mei didn't dare to be careless in the face of the four Great Masters. He let out a long roar, and spun his body to avoid Shi Changxiao's fists. His black robe whirled, and deflected Lei Wu Bei's blade. Then, he turned around, and moved his body sideways. He hadn't retracted his fist, but it was still aimed at Li Jue Tian. Then, he raised his left hand, and threw out a powerful cannonball to meet Solitary Eagle.
Venerable Mei didn't panic even though she was being besieged by four Great Masters at the same time. In fact, she had calmly neutralized their attacks in an instant. Moreover, she hadn't shown any weakness in her counterattack.
Li Jue Tian clenched his teeth, and increased his speed. He knew that one of the four men would have to sacrifice his strength to fight against Venerable Mei. Then, the other three would be able to take advantage of this opportunity to surround him. The other three didn't have the courage to do so. And, they wouldn't do so. Moreover, Li Jue Tian's injuries wouldn't last long. So, he had no choice but to do it himself.
Li Jue Tian's hatred for Venerable Mei had pushed him to make this crazy decision. His knuckles crackled, and a faint layer of green energy shrouded his fist. It was evident that he had put all of his strength into this punch. He wanted to fight against Venerable Mei without any tricks.
He had calculated that Venerable Mei would've been like an arrow at the end of its flight after he had forced the other three men to retreat. So, he would've had no choice but to fight against him. Li Jue Tian would've had only one choice if he had been in Venerable Mei's position.
Venerable Mei's complexion turned cold. She withdrew her fist in the time it takes for a spark to fly off of a flint. Then, she punched again, and met Li Jue Tian's attack with the Void Splitting Fist. Then, she roared, and kicked her legs forty-nine times in a row. Her entire body rose into the air, and soared into the sky like a cannonball. The three people below were still distracted by this attack. But, the sound of firecrackers had already been heard in the sky. Venerable Mei and the Solitary Falcon had exchanged seven or eight moves at lightning speed.
Two shadows flashed at the same time. Solitary Eagle somersaulted in the sky. Venerable Mei descended in a beautiful trajectory. However, he suddenly turned upside down as he fell. Then, he extended his wide sleeves, and abandoned Shi Changxiao and Lei Wu Bei. Then, he ferociously pounced towards Li Jue Tian.
Anyone could see that Venerable Mei was advancing with an indomitable momentum. It was clear that he wanted to take advantage of Li Jue Tian's serious injuries to get rid of this abominable and troublesome guy.
Li Jue Tian shouted, and retreated at lightning speed. He had hoped to fight against Venerable Mei, but it was extremely irrational to do so at this time. Venerable Mei had shaken off the others. So, it was tantamount to a one-on-one fight. Li Jue Tian had also lost his balance. His strength had been exhausted, and he hadn't recovered yet. So, Venerable Mei could easily dodge his attack even if he were to risk his life.
Moreover, the Solitary Eagle had been struck in the sky. So, the threat in the sky had been temporarily eliminated.
Therefore, Li Jue Tian could only retreat.
"Oh no!"
Lei Bao Yu and Bu Kuang Feng slapped their thighs as they watched the fight from afar.
Li Jue Tian retreated. But, he was surprised to find that Venerable Mei hadn't chased after him. In fact, he hadn't even moved out of inertia. It seemed as if his body was being pulled by a string in the sky. He flew straight towards Shi Changxiao. His body hadn't even reached him when his legs suddenly kicked like a storm.
Venerable Mei's real target wasn't Li Jue Tian. It was the Great Master of Life and Death, Shi Changxiao. Shi Changxiao was the biggest threat to him on the ground. He was the only one among the three on the ground who hadn't sustained any injuries.
It was clear that Venerable Mei wanted to give this uninjured person the same treatment as the other two.
Shi Changxiao's face turned misty. His eyes seemed to have turned petrified. Even his black pupils seemed to have turned white. He shouted loudly, and punched out with both his fists.
It was a head-on collision!
Shi Changxiao couldn't retreat because Lei Wu Bei was standing behind him. Lei Wu Bei would've suffered if he had retreated. In fact, Lei Wu Bei had just been injured. So, he wouldn't have had the strength to fight back if he'd been hit by this move.
Venerable Mei's two kicks had caused the air to vibrate and ripple. They weren't ordinary kicks.
The four-man battle formation would be broken if Lei Wu Bei were to be knocked out of the fight. Then, the three of them would be defeated.
Therefore, Shi Changxiao could only choose to face it head-on.
'Bang!'
Venerable Mei's first kick landed on Shi Changxiao's fist. Shi Changxiao's entire body shook. He hastily withdrew his fist. He wanted to disperse the force of the kick. He wanted to throw another punch. However, Venerable Mei's second kick landed on Shi Changxiao's fist before he could withdraw it.
Shi Chang Xiao was startled. He hastily raised his left fist, and took advantage of the fact that his body hadn't been knocked back yet. However, Venerable Mei's third kick had already landed on his right fist before his left hand could reach its target. It was accompanied by a thunderous force.
It was still the same fist.
There was almost no pause in between these three consecutive kicks. It seemed as if Venerable Mei had grown three feet to attack at the same time. Moreover, each kick was stronger than the previous one. Shi Changxiao's body was on the verge of collapse. He couldn't help but take a step back.
His left fist finally arrived at this moment. However, Venerable Mei's left leg, which had been waiting for a long time, also kicked out. Venerable Mei's body hadn't yet landed on the ground.
'Bang!'
His left fist and Venerable Mei's left foot collided with each other. A loud sound was heard. Then, the scene of his right fist replayed itself. He kicked three times in succession.
Venerable Mei's legs were separated like a pair of scissors. However, each of his kicks was as heavy as a mountain.
Shi Changxiao felt a sweet taste in his mouth. He felt as if his internal organs had been shaken. He staggered back. He felt an itch in his nose. Then, a thin wisp of blood spurted out.
[I've finally sustained internal injuries.]
Lei Wu Bei didn't disappoint the opportunity that Shi Changxiao had created by risking his injuries. Lei Wu Bei's body flashed like a ghost. The long blade in his hand pierced through Venerable Mei's black robe with an irresistible force.
Lei Wu Bei didn't have the time to rejoice at the success of his attack. However, he suddenly discovered that there was a feeling of emptiness after he had pierced through the robe. Lei Wu Bei's heart stirred.
However, he felt as if something had blocked him. Then, he saw Venerable Mei's left hand stretch out of the black robe. His palm firmly grasped the blade's edge. Then, he ferociously pushed it forward.
Her hand gripped the blade of the godly weapon. She grabbed the serrated edge of the blade. However, it didn't seem as if there was any hindrance to it.
Then, Li Jue Tian and the Solitary Falcon pounced forward in a frenzy. One of them was in front, and the other was behind. Venerable Mei grasped the blade with her left hand. She took advantage of the fact that Lei Wu Bei was trying to cut her hand by twisting the blade. She bent her index finger, and flicked it three times against the direction of the force of the blade.
Then, Venerable Mei's body fell to the ground. Her black robe fluttered behind her like an oversized iron plate. Then, she pushed it towards Li Jue Tian's back. Her two hands changed into thousands of palm shadows in an instant. The wind and clouds whistled as a hundred palms converged to form a lustrous white triangle. It seemed as if they were carrying a vast and mighty momentum. Then, the Solitary Eagle was hit high into the sky.
Venerable Mei had used her fingers to flick Lei Wu Bei's blade three times. However, Lei Wu Bei felt as if his heart had been struck by three loud bangs. It felt as if someone had taken an iron hammer and pounded it three times on his chest. Lei Wu Bei's vision blurred, and he fell into a trance. However, he couldn't control his body. Venerable Mei's strong wind had pushed him to one side, and had blocked Shi Chang Xiao's way.
Lei Wu Bei's treasured blade had turned into a pile of broken pieces of iron. Then, a crisp sound was heard as it fell to the ground. Only the hilt of the blade was left in Lei Wu Bei's hand.
This godly weapon was hard to find in the world. But, it had turned into a pile of scrap iron because of the strength of a few fingers. Lei Wu Bei's heart was grief-stricken. He was dumbfounded.
This blade had already started to show some slight cracks during the fight with the Snake King. Lei Wu Bei knew about this, but he didn't care too much about it. He felt that he could easily repair the blade as long as he could survive this battle with the help of his Xuan cultivation.
