Chapter 66

Having witnessed the Divine Sword Peak disciples' movement technique, which is at mastery level on average, the disciples of the other peaks were dumbfounded.

This is really outrageous—you say your Divine Sword Peak focuses on sword techniques, so why is your movement technique so damn strong?

Feeling unwilling and stifled, I just can't swallow this anger.

Every time they see Divine Sword Peak disciples proudly snag a demon horse, the other peaks' disciples get angry enough to make their teeth itch, and they just sum it up in one word: smug.

"No way, I can't swallow this anger."

"What can you do if you can't swallow it? Do you have mastery-level movement technique? They all have mastery-level on average."

"I can't, but surely someone can? I just don't believe it—could the Ying Peak disciples really not be able to match them?"

Ying Peak, one of the thirty-six peaks of the Dao Yi Sect, is also the one with the fewest members and the most mysterious.

All the intelligence of the Dao Yi Sect is handled by Ying Peak; therefore, while I wouldn't dare say anything else, as for movement technique, Ying Peak definitely has it under control.

They aren't a match for Divine Sword Peak—could the Ying Peak disciples be any different?

Upon hearing that, this disciple's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed as he spoke.

"That's what you say, but those Ying Peak guys..........."

A group of mysterious, elusive people—getting them to act is no easy task; moreover, Ying Peak disciples don't need to do missions, or rather their missions are independent from those of the other peaks.

Upon hearing that, this disciple laughed and said.

"Don't worry, I happen to have met a Ying Peak Shī xiōng earlier; it should be fine."

"Then that's good."

Since we have a connection, it's easy to handle; immediately, several disciples set off for Ying Peak.

At the same time, seeing that they can't match the Divine Sword Peak disciples in movement technique, the other disciples also began to consider other methods.

"Damn, since movement technique won't work, we'll have to resort to some petty tricks—you've been bullying us too much, don't blame me."

"Shī xiōng, what do you want..........."

"If I don't vent this anger, I won't even have the mind to Xiūliàn; I must regain even a little bit."

Another morning, after breakfast, the Divine Sword Peak disciples arrived one after another at Zhu Feng's Mission Hall.

The disciples of the other peaks were the same; both sides had already begun competing.

Upon seeing the Divine Sword Peak disciples appear, the disciples of each peak showed a hint of coldness in their eyes.

It's already been agreed upon; even if we have to use some underhanded tactics, today we must give Divine Sword Peak a lesson.

As the Divine Sword Peak disciples took on missions, the battle for the demon horses flared up again.

"Attack!"

Seeing that, a disciple shouted in a low voice, and immediately the other peaks' disciples, who had been ready, all sprang into action.

This time they didn't compare movement technique; they directly resorted to dirty tricks.

Either they cast spell techniques, or they used binding Talisman Seal, or they were more direct and went straight for grabbing the legs.

In any case, the sole purpose was to control those Divine Sword Peak disciples.

As long as you control them, no matter how astounding their movement technique, it will be useless.

For a moment, a familiar scene seemed to appear outside Zhu Feng's Mission Hall; the Divine Sword Peak disciples were naturally all too familiar with it, after all, they experience such things three times a day.

There was not a hint of tension; on the contrary, they felt like laughing.

"Hey, you're playing dirty, huh?"

"Too naive, thinking that would work?"

"These are just the leftovers from my play."

Immediately, one saw the Divine Sword Peak disciples skillfully dodging the numerous control spell techniques and binding Talisman Seal.

"Binding hand isn't used like that, Shī xiōng will teach you."

Originally, a disciple intended to use binding hand to control that Divine Sword Peak disciple, but the latter smiled slightly, shifted sideways, and easily dodged the attack.

Then he employed the same spell technique, but it had already reached the perfected level.

One was a minor accomplishment in binding hand, the other a perfected binding hand; comparing the two, the outcome goes without saying.

As expected, that disciple was directly bound in place by binding hand, unable to move.

"You can't even use Talisman Seal; how can you hit anyone by just charging straight in?"

Facing Talisman Seal attacks, the Divine Sword Peak disciples merely said it was child's play.

Although during the demon horse snatching Divine Sword Peak prohibits relying on external forces, their research into Talisman Seal has never ceased.

Just in case—who knows when this rule might change?

So, although Divine Sword Peak disciples don't inscribe Talisman Seal, when it comes to using them, they are absolutely top-notch.

To this end, Divine Sword Peak disciples have summarized the three key elements of using Talisman Seal: conceal, detour, and surprise.

The so-called conceal means secrecy; when using Talisman Seal, you must keep it hidden—don't let others see it before you throw it, otherwise it's obviously a failure.

The later the opponent discovers you're using Talisman Seal, the higher your hit rate naturally becomes.

Detour, meaning confusion: the more direct the Talisman Seal attack, the harder it is to succeed; if you just throw it straight at someone's face, when the cultivation gap isn't big, isn't it easy to dodge?

So, you need to detour, confuse the opponent, feign east strike west, to break down their defenses.

And surprise, as the word suggests, means striking unexpectedly; the more unexpected the timing, the more remarkable the effect.

This is all experience that the Divine Sword Peak disciples have accumulated through countless days and nights of blood and sweat.

So, playing with Talisman Seal in front of Divine Sword Peak disciples is like brandishing a big sword in front of Guan Yu—no difference.

While dodging that disciple's Talisman Seal, the Divine Sword Peak disciple's face suddenly broke into a smile.

"You were careless."

？？？

Upon hearing that, the disciple was full of question marks—how could I have been careless? You're still over ten meters away from me.

As the words fell, suddenly a burst of Talisman Seal light erupted behind this disciple, and he was immediately immobilized on the spot.

"You.........."

He didn't see at all how this Divine Sword Peak disciple made his move, until the disciple saw a hole only three fingers wide beneath his feet, and he was completely dumbfounded.

He had secretly dug an earth hole with sword qi and sent the Talisman Seal behind himself?

What a sneaky move—this left the disciple dumbfounded; after all these years, it's the first time I've seen anyone use a Talisman Seal like this.

"This is the correct way to use a Talisman Seal—study well, Shī xiōng, I'm leaving now."

Easily handling the opponent, this Divine Sword Peak disciple smiled and turned to leave.

Elsewhere it was the same; facing the disciples' petty tricks from the other peaks, the Divine Sword Peak disciple could respond calmly, and he told them a truth: in this world, there's no dirtiest method, only dirtier ones.

"Your little tricks are just the leftovers from what we Divine Sword Peak have played with."

Control techniques, binding Talisman Seals, directly grabbing people—all are child's play.

Originally intended as a retaliation against Divine Sword Peak, but in the end, those who were controlled and bound were all the other peaks' disciples.

As for the Divine Sword Peak disciples, they each left calmly.

Watching the backs of the Divine Sword Peak crowd, the disciples of the various peaks finally couldn't help but shed tears of resentment.

Just what does Divine Sword Peak spend all day researching?
