Chapter 48: This Child, Terrifying Indeed!
Years of friendship seemed to shatter in this moment.
Zhuang Yan stared with an angry expression at Wu Shang walking step by step; that sword strike just now, if Yu Changsheng hadn't pulled him away in time, he would have become a corpse right now.
Wu Shang's expression was uncertain; he hadn't expected the other party to be able to dodge, and now directly facing his old friend's questioning, his mood became complex.
But then, he steeled his heart again, firmly believing in the path he had chosen.
"Different Daos do not conspire together; killing one is killing, killing two is also killing."
Wu Shang's gaze locked onto Yu Changsheng, and he said coldly: "Attack!"
Behind him, two Outer Disciples formed hand seals and rose on their swords, slashing a strand of Sword Qi at Yu Changsheng.
And beside him Zhuang Yan also made a move, roaring loudly: "Why!"
"Bang!" Sword Qi collided.
Wu Shang coldly tapped his toes on the ground, rushing forward swiftly, simultaneously gripping his magic sword and slashing horizontally ahead.
"There is no why; if I don't kill you, how can I be promoted to the Outer Sect!"
"The Sect's rules changing has already proven my correctness!"
At this time, Yu Changsheng cast the Wood Shield Technique to block, and beside him the Iron Eagle King coordinated by swinging its wings, delivering a Black Wind Slash.
Since it wasn't a sneak attack, the opponent was fully prepared, and the Iron Eagle King's attack had no effect.
But Wu Shang's steps were blocked, causing his expression to change slightly.
"So it was you relying on this Demonic Beast to kill Huang Li and frame Luo Lesheng?"
"Luo Lesheng should also have died by your hand!"
Wu Shang shouted coldly, then his finger wiped across the magic sword, and instantly the sword emitted intense light, striking back the Iron Eagle King with one sword.
Facing Wu Shang's words, Yu Changsheng naturally would not admit it, silently forming a hand seal and launching a Fireball Technique.
This instant-cast large fireball frightened one Outer Disciple into hurriedly retreating, giving Zhuang Yan an opening; a strand of Sword Qi grazed the opponent's shoulder, blood spraying wildly.
"Be careful, this Beast Tamer is not easy to deal with!"
The injured Outer Disciple covered his wound, patted his Hundred Treasures Bag, and a Qi Blood Pill flew out; he opened his mouth and swallowed it.
"This Beast Tamer is indeed a bit tricky; not only is his beast powerful, his spells aren't weak either; just that Fireball alone, if smashed into, would at least peel off a layer of skin."
The other Outer Disciple looked back at the area behind that had been burned to ashes by the fireball, and said with lingering fear.
"Hmph, no matter how strong he's only at Qi Refining Fifth Heaven; the three of us at Qi Refining Sixth Layer, are we afraid we can't kill him?"
"Attack together."
A ferocious look appeared on Wu Shang's face, and he swung his sword to attack again.
In response, Yu Changsheng did not summon the Chi She Wang, still using Divine Sense to command the Iron Eagle King to charge up, while he assisted from the side, dealing with the two Outer Disciples together with Zhuang Yan.
The Outer Disciples' spells just went back and forth among a few types, and Yu Changsheng's Divine Sense far surpassed them, so defeating them was only a matter of time.
Wu Shang also saw that both sides had fallen into a stalemate, and his side was gradually becoming the weaker one.
"This Iron Eagle King"
He slashed his sword anxiously onto those Black Iron Fur, only sparking a few sparks.
To injure the opponent, he had to use all his strength; to heavily injure the opponent, he had to find a flaw.
Otherwise, with the Iron Eagle King's defense, it could completely tank the damage and attack in close quarters.
This is also why ordinary Cultivators dealing with Demonic Beasts need to encircle and suppress them; the Demonic Beasts' physiques are too strong among Qi Refining Period Cultivators, unless they are Sword Cultivators with superb Sword Techniques.
And they cultivate the Yujian Peak method, but that sword is not enough to be called a Sword Cultivator; it's merely clumsily releasing sword moves.
"Weak"
This is Yu Changsheng's evaluation of them.
He flipped his palm, and a fan appeared in his hand; this was precisely the Absolute Wind Fan obtained from Luo Lesheng! "Bang—!"
With one fan, wind currents erupted, rushing straight up, enveloping one Outer Disciple within.
The wind's rotation speed was very fast, scraping the face like knife cuts.
The Outer Disciple used his magic sword to attack continuously, trying to break through the wind current, formed hand seals to prop up a weak defense, but the burning pain spread through his four limbs and hundred bones, making him understand that continuing would mean certain death!
So he shouted in shock and fear: "I can't hold on much longer, Brother Wu!"
Hearing this, Wu Shang, still confronting the Iron Eagle King, gritted his teeth, slapped his Hundred Treasures Bag, and finally sacrificed the magic sword given by Huang Suyu.
"Dragon Roar!"
He fiercely mobilized Spirit Power and poured it inside; the magic sword emitted a Dragon Chant Sound, stabbing toward the wind current!
This magic sword is a Middle-grade Magic Artifact; with his Cultivation Base he hasn't fully refined it yet, but its power is enough to break through the wind current.
"Puff!"
With a muffled sound, the Dragon Chant Sword pierced through the wind current; a circle of ripples spread outward, blowing that Outer Disciple far away.
And after this strike, the Dragon Chant Sword's momentum undiminished, pursued toward Yu Changsheng.
"Go die!" Wu Shang roared.
As long as Yu Changsheng was dealt with, the remaining Zhuang Yan and Iron Eagle King would be at his mercy.
"Hum!"
However, right at this moment, a faint humming sound abruptly rang out; the Dragon Chant Sword's momentum began to wither step by step, its speed dropping.
"This is! Divine Sense!" Wu Shang widened his eyes, unable to comprehend.
Just how powerful a Divine Sense could make the Dragon Chant Sword stop!
Although he hadn't fully refined the Dragon Chant Sword, he had initially grasped it; yet at this moment he felt layer upon layer of obstruction ahead, the obstructing Divine Sense strength was several times his! Yu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, then his Divine Sense fiercely pushed forward.
"Boom!!!"
Qi waves rolled, the air itself trembled, a vast pressure descended from the sky, landing on the Dragon Chant Sword, directly suppressing it to the ground.
At the same time, Wu Shang suffered backlash, a mouthful of fresh blood violently sprayed out, and his figure retreated several steps backward.
"How... how is this possible? Why is the other party's Divine Sense so powerful!"
Wu Shang was shocked to the extreme, but at this moment, how could the Iron Eagle King give him a chance to catch his breath? It immediately flapped its wings and rushed to his front.
"Pfft!" It opened its mouth and spat out a wind blade, knocking away Wu Shang's magic sword; its sharp claws pierced into his chest and tore out his heart.
A large amount of fresh blood sprayed out; until death, Wu Shang did not understand why Yu Zhangsheng's Divine Sense could be so powerful.
The gap in Divine Sense between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining is like heaven and earth.
Yu Zhangsheng paid no heed to the fallen corpse; with a single-handed beckon, he grasped the Dragon Chant Sword and took it into the System Space.
Then he turned to face the other two Outer Disciples with terrified expressions.
Looking at the gaze of this youth before them, a trace of fear welled up in the depths of their hearts.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for choosing the wrong person."
Yu Zhangsheng's mouth corners curled into a cold laugh; he commanded the Iron Eagle King to attack from the side, while he himself coordinated with Zhuang Yan to kill the other Outer Disciple.
The battle came quickly and ended just as quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the corpses all lay on the ground, ultimately fed to the Iron Eagle King.
And this scene was also watched by Yun Hejing from the Outside.
"This child... terrifying indeed."
