Zang Shu was startled, but he wasn't annoyed by Zhang Yu's actions at all. Instead, he was very happy and said, "That's exactly what I wanted!"
He reached out and grabbed the hilt of his sword. With a flick of his wrist, the sword slid out from the half-opened scabbard. At the same time, he said excitedly, "Even if you didn't do this, I would still find a chance to compete with you. I like to practice and compete with swords. That day, I saw you also use a sword, so I chased after you."
Zhang Yu didn't say a word. He leaped forward and was about to slash, but when he was in midair, the sword in his hand was suddenly thrown at Zang Shu.
Tao Dingfu had once said that he could observe people in battle. That was actually hinting to him that with his strength, he was enough to fight with the person who came. And through the observation of the conversation just now, and the reflection of the aura in his heart lake, he confirmed this view.
Zang Shu saw Zhang Yu leap up and thought that he had made a stupid move. He was about to slash with his sword, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yu would actually throw the sword in his hand. For a moment, he wasn't prepared and hurriedly raised his sword to block, deflecting the Xia Sword.
At this moment, Zhang Yu had already landed on the big rock where Zang Shu was. He reached out and the Xia Sword that was supposed to fly away turned slightly. The hilt returned to his hand. At the same time his foot touched the rock surface, he took the opportunity to slash diagonally!
When Zang Shu saw this, he suddenly became very excited. His pale face flushed red and he said loudly, "Good sword!" And the sword in his hand was held horizontally. With one hand holding the hilt and the other holding the upper half of the sword, he exerted force with both arms and swung outwards!
"Clang!"
The two swords clashed, and the sound of gold and jade colliding could be heard!
Zhang Yu borrowed the force to take a step back. After the momentum was exhausted, he suddenly took another step forward and slashed with his sword again. His movements were like that of a bow being drawn and released. His movements were fast and powerful, with a strong sense of rhythm. Moreover, it was done in one breath, perfectly displaying the sword skills that he had at present.
The sword in Zang Shu's hand was longer, and at this moment, she was in front of him. She didn't have time to turn around and defend. In a hurry, she only had time to turn sideways, so this sword cut into her shoulder.
But at this moment, Zhang Yu realized that he had cut into an incomparably tough armor.
At the place where the sword blade had slashed, one could see that although the clothes on it had been torn apart, a thin layer of fluorescent light could be seen.
Heart Light!
However, this Heart Light was slightly different from the Heart Lights he had seen before. Regardless of whether it was Fan Lan or Cai Pa, their Heart Lights all enveloped their entire bodies. However, Zang Shu's Heart Light only appeared at the places his sword touched.
Furthermore … it was difficult to cut through!
Zang Shu finally found an opportunity. She retracted her elbow and twisted her wrist. First, she pulled her sword inwards, then flicked it outwards!
However, Zhang Yu's feet staggered slightly. Before she could fully display her sword power, the sword blade had already touched her sword's edge. Then, with both hands on the hilt, the sword slid in. As his body leaned forward, he thrust his sword upwards again. This time, it directly pierced Zang Shu's chest.
Zang Shu unconsciously retreated two steps. Light emerged from the tattered Taoist robe in front of her chest. The sword move that she was about to use in her hand suddenly became an empty frame. Before she could reorganize herself, her vision blurred and the sword light came again. This time, it heavily chopped at her neck, causing her body to unconsciously stagger to the side.
Zhang Yu's swordsmanship looked ordinary. Every time he drew and sheathed his sword, he would advance and retreat with simple steps. However, such simple attacks were always able to find openings in his opponent's defenses. Zhang Yu's mind had always been filled with beautiful and exquisite swordsmanship, but he had never been able to use it fully from the start. Every time he used it, it would be shattered into pieces.
Therefore, she simply threw away her face and no longer attempted to parry. She also did not care about Zhang Yu's attacks. She directly waved her sword and chopped at him.
This method was undoubtedly correct. Zhang Yu did not have her heart's light to protect her. Facing her attacks, she could only raise her sword to block most of the time.
After receiving a few blows, Zhang Yu discovered that although Zang Shu looked very thin and weak, her strength was actually incomparably great. Even if he activated the seal of "Strengthening", it would still be difficult to compare. It was just that she had not been able to display it just now.
However, strength was not the only thing in swordsmanship. Especially for someone like him who had already mastered the two seals of sword and driving. It could be said that he had reached the peak of what this body could use. Other than a slight lack of experience, there were almost no shortcomings.
Because Zang Shu's arm was long and her sword was long, when she brandished her sword, it almost enveloped the entire rock. At the moment, Zhang Yu did not have an easy time dealing with it. If he had leapt onto flat ground, he could have easily avoided it. However, he had his own plans, and so he continued to circle around.
At this moment, he raised his sword to block and felt a tremendous force pressing down on him. However, if the strength was insufficient, he could use sword techniques to make up for it. The Xia Sword in his hand was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, moving away as soon as it touched the water. At the same time, he retreated backwards. Through the rotation of his limbs and joints, he dispersed the transmitted force layer by layer.
At this moment, Zang Shu seemed to have found the feeling. As she repeatedly brandished her sword, she opened her mouth and said, "Do you know, people with good talent will inevitably have their own ideas? Many people can't accept the rigid and inflexible teachings of Xuanfu, so they are willing to throw themselves into the chaos. For example, our original leader was originally a member of Xuanfu, and could be considered to be from the same sect as your Head Xuan … "
"I was originally from Taiyang Academy, but after I entered Xuanfu, I couldn't learn what I wanted there. Later on, someone came to find me and told me many interesting things. Thus, I decided to betray Xuanfu …"
"That's right, Cai Pa also betrayed us. You didn't expect this, did you? Hahaha …"
He chattered endlessly, while Zhang Yu maintained his calm and moved continuously on the rock. Although he couldn't kill his opponent in one go, every time he slashed at his opponent, he could cause him to lose his balance and disrupt his attack.
Furthermore, the Light of Heart wasn't limitless. After all, the Xia Sword was an artifact. He could feel that every time he struck, he could exhaust a portion of his opponent's Light of Heart.
Zang Shu was still talking to himself. He didn't need Zhang Yu to continue. It seemed that as long as he started, he would be able to talk until the end of time.
"Under that person's arrangements, I successfully left the Profound Palace. As expected, he didn't lie to me, and the scribbles were indeed as I wished. In the past, I didn't know anything about sword arts, but under my strong desire, I was able to comprehend a new style from the scribbles. He bestowed me with many exquisite sword skills, and now you've seen it for yourself …"
Zhang Yu didn't pay attention to him. He could feel that the so-called exquisite swordsmanship wasn't as powerful as he boasted. It was just flashy stuff without substance.
In other words, these were the swordsmanship that this person wanted to learn and understand. However, there was a certain gap between these swordsmanship and the real sword moves of a battle.
As he thought of this, he vaguely understood something. However, at this moment in the battle, he didn't think too much about it. He focused his mind and focused on what was in front of him.
After Zang Shu completely let go of himself, he started to fight to his heart's content. However, as Zhang Yu became more and more familiar with his swordsmanship, he felt that he was once again under the pressure from the beginning.
Zhang Yu's movements seemed to become faster and faster. His speed was also constantly increasing.
In fact, this was his misconception. The real situation was that Zhang Yu was gradually getting used to his strength and moves. Therefore, he was no longer as passive as he was at the beginning and became more skillful.
What made Zang Shu feel uneasy was that his Light of Heart was being continuously worn down by Zhang Yu's repeated slashes. If this continued, once his Light of Heart was exhausted, what could he use to resist?
When he realized this, he could not help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.
Therefore, he decided to end the battle as soon as possible!
He swung his sword again. The full force caused Zhang Yu to take a step back after receiving the sword. Zang Shu took the initiative to move forward for the first time. He swung his sword and slashed at the air again.
Although Zhang Yu was retreating, he was actually advancing. At this moment, seeing that Zang Shu took the initiative to move forward, he suddenly moved forward. This time, his movements were extremely fast. Sword light flashed. Before Zang Shu's sword could land, Zang Shu had already taken the initiative to stab in front of him.
Zang Shu's eyes lit up. He suddenly threw away the long sword in his hand and grabbed with both hands. He actually grabbed the Xia Sword tightly. The part where his palm and the blade made contact was also glowing with a fluorescent light.
He looked at the Xia Sword that was close to him but was held by his own strength and could no longer move. He revealed a smile. "That's all …"
However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused. He felt as if there was an additional ray of light in the depths of his eyes.
He looked down and saw that the tip of the Xia Sword spat out a brilliant sword light. It pierced straight into his mouth and seemed to come out from the back of his head.
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "You talk too much."
He held the hilt of the sword with one hand and moved forward step by step. Zang Shu kept retreating. When he retreated to the edge of the big rock, there was nothing under his feet. He finally lost the power to stop him. He leaned back and fell out of the big rock.
At this moment, Zhang Yu suddenly pulled out his sword. Then, he held it with both hands and turned around to slash!
The sword light flashed like a thunderbolt.
Zang Shu was cut into two in midair!
After a moment, the sound of two pieces of a corpse falling to the ground came from below.
Zhang Yu killed Zang Shu with a single strike. He felt that the world seemed to have quieted down. He stood for a moment and walked forward to the edge of the big rock. He looked at the two pieces of the corpse that had fallen down.
After waiting for a while, a wisp of Spiritual Light floated up from the corpse.
He pointed the blade of the Xia Sword to one side. Under the sunlight, the spiritual light was like snow melting under the scorching sun. It was annihilated in an instant.
He exhaled a long breath. With a twist of his wrist, the Xia Sword returned to its scabbard with a crisp sound.
Although he had killed this person, he was not completely at ease. This person's fellow Daoists might not let him go just like that. Thus, he could not go back now.
He turned around and looked at the Goddess Peak. The reason why he had come here before was not only to avoid enemies, but also because there was a place here that used to be an ancient place of worship.
According to his investigation and inference, it was very likely that Origin Energy existed there!
