Chapter 246

Qijiao Shang Huaitong looked coldly at the young man in front of him, with thick, substantial anger buried in the bottom of his eyes; in such a narrow intermediate layer, violent flame currents erupted as if from a volcano.

There was no need for any space to swing or stab the sword, because the True Qi was emitted directly from the five viscera; five fierce flames surged into the long sword, and Qijiao Shang Huaitong did not retreat a single step, meeting Pei Ye's extremely dangerous and strong sword light head-on with one sword!

【Five Fires Illuminating Life】

If the previous two styles of the Pulling Grass section were fierce torches, this sword was a giant bonfire reaching the sky; the six-life majestic True Qi leaked out without any restraint, and the sword light suddenly shone into a bright sun!

The fierce collision of rigidity against rigidity shattered the sharp hook moon in an instant.

No matter how powerful the momentum was, it could not change the fact that its drive came only from the True Qi and muscles of the four lives; the young man's determined offensive was crushed like dry weeds and rotten wood in front of this sword.

Qijiao Shang Huaitong had absolutely no pause. With his face frozen into coldness by anger, he was going to use the most violent means to respond to this ignorant insult!

The first moment the hook moon shattered, the man's sword momentum suddenly changed, turning from a downward slash into a fierce straight stab!

In an instant, six bright lights full of fiery Qi rushed fiercely toward Pei Ye, like six dazzling fire dragons suddenly opening their mouths.

【Six Fires Manifesting Life】

Making a smooth turn of almost a right angle between two such violent offensive swords, the control of the Clumsy Realm was fully displayed here.

And at this time, Pei Ye's downward slash was being given an upward, out-of-control violent force; his arm swung like flying, the empty gate in front of his body was wide open, from sword to arm, from arm to body, and even his whole posture was pulled and scattered by this sword.

The decisive blow of the six lives, even if it was hitting the first with the later, and hitting the wide with the narrow, was enough to make the four lives' arms numb and bodies shake.

True Qi, power, speed—none was not an absolute suppression; before the six fire dragons penetrated the empty gate of his chest, Pei Ye definitely would not have time to organize the True Qi scattered by the collision in his arm.

The situation was reversed in one move, the momentum belonging to the six lives was fully revealed, and in an instant, it was as if a fierce tiger was on top of a young beast!

And I don't know when, Pei Ye had already let go of the hand holding the sword.

The scene at the end of the previous match appeared on the ring again; the flying long sword drew a bright hook moon.

But this time it was no longer light and smooth; it seemed to be firmly restraining huge power, and this arc was fast and sharp, and even the sharp corners were much sharper.

It drew a semicircle behind him, and the end was being caught by the young man's outstretched left hand.

There was no sword pause, nor was there any adjustment; the moment it was in his hand, it was already at the best angle to exert force. Pei Ye's True Qi and arm strength suddenly exploded, merging with the power in the sword without any resistance, and another cold, sharp crescent moon slashed down!

The huge power borne in the previous sword was claimed by the young man without any omission after the swift hand change; this sword was far better than the previous one!

"Ding"!!

A chime was close to the clash of gold and jade; the six sword lights suddenly converged into one, and Pei Ye's long sword slashed onto Qijiao Shang Huaitong's mirror-like sword body.

However, this sword did not stop or shake; even though the momentum suddenly disappeared, it still advanced straight and fiercely, and Qijiao Shang Huaitong exerted his Qi and strength, but this sword still pounced on Pei Ye's chest like a tiger.

But Pei Ye's long sword also touched and left.

The huge power on the sword poured into the opponent's sword completely at the moment of the clash; Pei Ye loosened his wrist and let the sword bounce up, and then twisted his grip, drawing a floating and bending trajectory in the blink of an eye, and slashed onto the opponent's long sword again.

Starting from this, Pei Ye retreated and swung his sword; the sword shadows bloomed into bright and fleeting flowers around his body, "Ding ding ding ding" seventeen times in a row, as if cutting claws and pulling teeth, and the fierce momentum of the surging sword completely declined.

At the end of 【Breaking the Leaf and Returning Waves】, the young man smoothly connected to 【Eating the Leaf】, or rather, he simply used 【Breaking the Leaf and Returning Waves】 as the first sword of 【Eating the Leaf】.

Jade veins and Jade veins, offensive swords and defensive swords, there was simply no boundary in the young man's hands, and at this time, the first time he stopped the opponent's long sword in front of his body, Pei Ye's sword sounded a clear cry again.

In 【Eating the Leaf】, 【Spreading Wings】 was already full!

Pei Ye was expressionless, having no consciousness of having just narrowly escaped from the tiger's claws, and started his sword to pierce straight at Qijiao Shang Huaitong's brow again, as if he were the one who was pressing hard.

Qijiao Shang Huaitong used a sword to strangle this clear cry!

The man's cold eyes fell on the young man's face, and the long sword that had just been extinguished suddenly rose with violent fire enough to light up the sky.

Those were two sword lights that were suddenly separated and were within the same trajectory, and thus were close to simultaneous.

【Two Fires Starting Life】

One sword forcefully slashed Pei Ye's ringing sword, and the other sword had suddenly forced its way to Pei Ye's throat.

Now, the one crushing and attacking was him!

Pei Ye had been forced to the end of his strength by 【Six Fires Manifesting Life】 while holding the sword in his left hand; the hidden clear cry was not used to deal with the next move, and he dared to take the initiative to come out. In such a clear situation, Qijiao Shang Huaitong's two swords, coming and going, were as simple and smooth as cutting off a snowman's head.

One sword slashed his left-hand sword to the outside, and what was exposed in the middle of the young man was a completely empty gate!

Even among the young children who had just started practicing martial arts, this was a clear winning opportunity placed right in front of them.

However, just as Qijiao Shang Huaitong pressed into this gate, the young man's figure suddenly flickered.

In an instant, it was as if there were two Pei Yes; the next moment, the phantom in his brain disappeared, but the real Pei Ye in front of his eyes was already in another place.

Under 【Shedding the Shell】, the young man seemed to be in front but was actually on the left—the sword that had just been slashed to the side was now connecting to this body that was also leaning to the left.

He suddenly avoided the sword to his chest.

This move had deceived Li Piaoqing and fooled Yang Yan, but in front of the six-life sword, such flickering could not bring vitality; Qijiao Shang Huaitong's sword momentum followed, and this sudden move only expanded a small empty space.

Even though the young man never used a sword without a purpose, what could such a subtle empty space be used for?

Pei Ye only sought one advance.

When Qijiao Shang Huaitong was at the four lives, his offense, defense, advance, and retreat were all fully prepared; when he was at the six lives, there was only violent suppression. But to the young man, four lives and six lives seemed to have no difference; from the moment he stepped onto the ring, he only had advance.

At this time, Pei Ye had never forgotten the sword intent of the "Cicada Sparrow Sword."

Even though he had already obtained the "Yellow Jade" and knew the high place where the Jade and Jade veins were truly connected, Pei Ye had not discarded this initial "wrong sword" like worn-out shoes.

He remembered clearly that the Cicada section was seven styles of light swords, with twenty-seven flaws that could be made.

The Sparrow section was three styles of killing swords.

The principle of Cicada and Sparrow was inherently contained in the Jade Jade Sword and was a major direction for solving the sword.

At this time, the Cicada sword was in front, and the Sparrow sword appeared in a sweep.

Qijiao Shang Huaitong slashed a sword toward the young man's chest, but a sharp chill that entered the bone first passed to his neck.

He suddenly looked back, only to see the long sword stabbing from his side swell out of thin air, already giving birth to a sharp and bright crescent moon!

【Shedding the Shell】—【Breaking the Leaf and Returning Waves】!

This was by no means the wonderful and smooth "change of moves" from before; both were at the peak of the Clumsy Realm, and under the suppression of the realm, Qijiao Shang Huaitong could calmly deal with any change in the young man's moves at this time.

Just as he had broken the 【Breaking the Leaf and Returning Waves】 and 【Clear Cry】 that were sudden enough before.

But now this change was contained within the sword move; it was a secret interface left by the sword writer at the beginning of writing the sword; it was even two swords combined into one, and the distance of three feet seemed to be swallowed out of thin air; except for the practitioner, no one could foresee this kind of change!

Before 【Two Fires Starting Life】 slashed onto the young man's chest, this sword would first penetrate his neck.

Attacking as defense was the method he had just failed with, but now Pei Ye showed him the successful method.

Qijiao Shang Huaitong suddenly retracted his sword!

It was also from here that the battle suddenly entered a tense and dangerous situation.

Because it was too close.

From the beginning of forcing the throat, the distance between the two was only a few feet.

And at this time, 【Shedding the Shell】 had already narrowed the distance again, and the following Sparrow sword was like flying feathers approaching a tree; as a sword for predation, it had to force itself onto the opponent's face.

This was close to close-quarters slaughter.

A fight must be relaxed and tense, with offense and defense, advance and retreat, hard clashes, and move-fighting; only then would the "gap" between the two people constantly expand and contract. Both sides were competing for the pulse of this battle, trying to make it fit their own rhythm; the one who gets it will be the winner.

But in this match, since Qijiao Shang Huaitong's six-life strength was fully poured out, there had not been a single retreat or defense.

Both people were staring at each other, one cold and angry, one indifferent; one was in a strong position, secretly angry, needing to crush the opponent without any breathing room; one should have avoided and defended, seeking opportunities in the middle, yet he was still advancing hard, and truly, after three rounds, broke into the three feet in front of Qijiao Shang Huaitong!

There was no such thing as relaxed and tense; the two people who were fighting like this were like two people pulling the ends of a spring, pulling hard without giving an inch, constantly tightening the main pulse of this battle, squeezing the gap of this round of move-fighting.

Both close and fierce, both desperate and dangerous; such a battle was already a cliff, a thin rope, a sharp blade!

Qijiao Shang Huaitong clearly felt the tension of the situation, but he stood coldly on the dangerous cliff and thin rope; this time, retracting the sword, he still did not make any concessions!

Of course, he couldn't make concessions.

Every one of your desperate attacks, I only need one slash to break, but every one of my offensive swords is pressing on your life!

It was still an offensive sword that occupied a huge gap.

【Four Fires Bestowing Life】!

The sword edge suddenly turned into four explosive flames, only one of which hit Pei Ye's sword tip that was forcing his neck; 【Breaking the Leaf and Returning Waves】 instantly tilted under this quarter of the power.

And the remaining three moved toward one eye, one throat, and one heart.

Pei Ye personally pulled the two to such a distance, and now he had to personally bear such a sudden and dangerous strength.

The sword technique named after "fire" and "life" had danger and violence that could be imagined; at this time, the three swords arrived almost at the same time, almost fixing the young man's dangerous situation.

Under such danger like a pile of eggs, Pei Ye's figure suddenly flashed, and it was 【Shedding the Shell】 again!

Only the Cuiyu master and apprentice who had seen the Sword Sutra opened their eyes in shock at this sword.

The essence of 【Shedding the Shell】 lies in the two words "resemblance" and "reality"; the opponent first sees "resemblance" and then knows "reality," while the sword wielder first hides "reality" and then pretends to be "resemblance."

When the opponent is confused by "resemblance," "reality" is released.

But Pei Ye had clearly just released it.

Before 【Breaking the Leaf and Returning Waves】, his previous move was clearly 【Shedding the Shell】.

So the young man didn't use it twice, but combined the two styles of 【Shedding the Shell】 into one move, using the "reality" of the previous move as the "resemblance" of the latter move; this move here became three layers.

But there was no time to sigh at the young man's unique and profound use of sword moves, because this move of the young man, at this time, was simply not used to avoid those three explosive flames!

Or rather, not completely avoided.

The sword brought by Shedding the Shell topped the explosive flame rushing toward his eyes, and the other two the young man could have tilted his body to avoid, but he expressionlessly gave up this opportunity; this time's 【Shedding the Shell】 was not resembling left but reality right, but resembling left but reality front!

He actually topped the sword and advanced again!

The sudden murderous intent had already risen.

Eye, throat, heart, the three points were almost connected in a line, but there was a clear tilt between the latter two, especially the latter two, which was a thirty-degree tilt.

Just in the gap created by this tilt, Pei Ye tilted his body slightly, letting one sword pass through his shoulder, one sword break his big arm, blood splashing out, and he had already hit in front of Qijiao Shang Huaitong in one step!

Four eyes met fiercely!

On the stands, countless people leaned forward and stared, speechless.

This was an extremely dangerous and unreasonable action, and now it was also an extremely dangerous and unreasonable situation.

People had watched six or seven consecutive rounds of advance and attack, and everyone was waiting for a "retreat"—this was of course inevitable.

Because this is the inevitable principle of martial arts fighting; the pulled spring must rebound, a gap can only hold a limited number of moves, and a breath can only be held for a limited time—without gaps and breathing, a sword wielder cannot unleash moves.

Every martial arts fight must have a retreat, it just depends on who retreats first.

And when Qijiao Shang Huaitong's four-fire sword appeared, this answer was already very clear, because Pei Ye was clearly unable to have any room for maneuver.

If he suddenly dug out another gap for moves, it wouldn't be as shocking as this "injury and advance." Because everyone was somewhat used to his frequent strange moves, but such behavior only represented a mistake.

This is not a place to fight for Qi; every contestant should be responsible for the final victory; no one believed that the young man didn't understand this principle.

But he just advanced hard when he clearly couldn't receive this sword.

The spring was pulled hard by him again.

Thus the desperate forcing of both sides continued; Pei Ye's left arm was injured, and Qijiao Shang Huaitong's violent True Qi poured in, and this arm immediately lost the ability to use the sword.

But in the previous moment, Pei Ye's sword was no longer in this arm.

【Shedding the Shell】 is a light and dangerous sword, 【Breaking the Leaf and Returning Waves】 both drank hatred in front of one of the "four fires," this sword facing the explosive flame was naturally unable to bear the force, and suddenly lost control.

Pei Ye then let it leave his hand again.

And when he welcomed the sword forward, his opened right hand had already gripped the flying hilt.

At this time, the distance between the two was terrifyingly close.

The power of the previous sword was returned completely, and 【Breaking the Leaf and Returning Waves】 slashed toward Qijiao Shang Huaitong's chest again!

At such a distance, there was no possibility of retreat.

Qijiao Shang Huaitong's eyes were fiery, because the one who needed to retreat was never him.

At such a distance and move, the space had been compressed to be incomparably narrow; as long as one sword could not be blocked, there would be no room for maneuver.

Borrowing force to fly the sword, changing hands to eat the leaf, nothing could be in time!

But he was still in time now, because he was six lives.

Although he was slightly strenuous, at the moment 【Four Fires Bestowing Life】 ended, the sword momentum suddenly turned, returning to in front of his body in an extremely narrow space.

It was still not defense, but a sword slashing and breaking toward 【Breaking the Leaf and Returning Waves】!

Once this sword was formed, Pei Ye's sword momentum was immediately squeezed hard again.

Still that sentence, the gap for moves is limited; both of them were advancing hard without giving an inch, just like two fish fighting for the limited oxygen in the space, seeing who would inhale the last breath first.

However, Pei Ye did not guide the power in the sword for the first time.

That calm and dashing manner of turning the twist into a forward direction was discarded by him like worn-out shoes; as if pulling the reins on a cliff, the young man's wrist suddenly paused, True Qi surged here, and he endured the twisting brought by the fierce sword momentum, dead-locking this sword.

This behavior of forcefully locking 【Breaking the Leaf and Returning Waves】 was learned from Li Piaoqing.

This was not the position for the most suitable change of moves, but it was the position closest to Qijiao Shang Huaitong's throat.

What he wanted to change, of course, was the fast sword unparalleled in Bowang!

At this distance, 【Treading Water to Pluck the Scales】 revealed the fangs it should have.

This was already a speed that six lives could not react to!

Finally, the weekend is here; although there are still some tasks to do, I should be able to add a chapter, and I can also adjust the update time back.

Finish this match tomorrow!
