Chapter 649: Everyone Loves Butterflies, Who Would Love a Fly? (Part 5)

"Are you blind?" Seeing Pei Ye naturally didn't have a good face at such a time, but he didn't look at the light shadow beside him either, his cold, fierce, smelly face just staring dead at Yu Sicheng, who was pouncing over again.

"Ah, it's him wanting to break in again. Thank you for helping me block him." Luo Weiyou was tied to his side like his shadow. "Long time no see, Seeing Pei Ye. My name is Luo Buyou today."

"I didn't block him." he said.

"And I'm about to die." he added.

It was really about to die. Yu Sicheng's spear was becoming more and more like a great mountain, and also like a tsunami pouring over, impossible to avoid, impossible to block. It wasn't the first time the two had fought. While Seeing Pei Ye saw through him, he was also no longer a stranger to Seeing Pei Ye. Seeing Pei Ye had indeed completed the fatal first strike he had envisioned, but unfortunately, it hadn't worked, so now it was time to pay the price.

Only at this time did Seeing Pei Ye truly feel that he was like that "Zi Liang" on the table, without Qilin fire, and without any trump cards to turn the tables on his body, just helplessly facing the enemy's crushing.

Was he also going to face those four ghost-god-like spear strikes?

After he finished this sentence, Luo Weiyou didn't answer immediately. Seeing Pei Ye was once again bone-shaking and tendon-numb amidst the spear whistling. At this time, he heard her say softly beside him: "Will you die too?"

At such a critical moment, Seeing Pei Ye still glanced at her. A faceless, shallow, transparent shadow, as if it would scatter if the water washed over it.

"Then I'm called Luo Henyou today." she said seriously.

Seeing Pei Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud. The next moment, a large amount of fresh blood sprayed out from his throat, and his body was thrown away in the immense power. He used his left hand to take this spear strike, and the price was his entire left arm breaking inch by inch, completely losing its function.

It was really different... Such a surging spear strike, a spear strike that would never miss again.

First spear.

Blood dripped down from his eye curtain. This light shadow was still drifting by his side. Seeing Pei Ye swayed twice and stood firm: "Don't make me laugh."

"If you can laugh before you die, isn't it better than crying?"

"... That's true." Seeing Pei Ye said hoarsely, "Can you help me? Do you have any way? I really can't beat him."

"I don't have any way. I can't touch anything. If you can't beat him, then run quickly." Luo Weiyou sat beside him. "Don't really die here."

"I won't run." Seeing Pei Ye lowered his head and exchanged the sword to his right hand.

"Why?"

"Because I have to slaughter him."

"..."

"I have to slaughter this person." Seeing Pei Ye repeated, "Aren't we friends? I even ate twenty of your flowers. I remember you said that you also don't like being broken into by others."

"... Seeing Pei Ye."

"Hmm?"

"You always seem to make me think of some times when memory didn't exist." Luo Weiyou looked at him somewhat quietly.

"Just like, when you say 'I want to slaughter him', it always makes me feel somewhat intimate, and inexplicably very sad." The light shadow tilted her head. "But, thank you for being willing to help me guard this place."

She turned toward Seeing Pei Ye, seemed to look at him, and the figure dissipated just like that.

Seeing Pei Ye withdrew his gaze. The black long spear broke through the chaotic water curtain, whistling before Seeing Pei Ye's eyes in a blink. Seeing Pei Ye braced the sword from bottom to top, tilting his body to avoid the sharp edge.

Following that, the long spear smashed down. The sword technique 【Yang Flower】 swung lightly. Seeing Pei Ye dragged his bloody body to drift above the long spear. Following the momentum, the sharp water droplets on the sword were sprinkled out, stabbing directly at Yu Sicheng's right eye. At the same time, he twisted his waist and gritted his teeth, smashing a leg fiercely onto Yu Sicheng's head.

The next moment, he paid the price for his offense. The spear tail swung over, first smashing the few drops of 【Sword Washing Water】, and then smashed straight toward his heart. Even with the black Chi shielding him in time, Seeing Pei Ye's body was still smashed flying entirely.

His spine crashed into the courtyard wall with a boom, his entire body's bones feeling as if they were falling apart. Yu Sicheng forced him before the Luoshen Palace, and the black Chi separated from him completely for the first time.

Second spear.

The retreat was cut off, and there was no way to avoid it.

Two Luoshen peach blossoms drifted in the water beside him. Seeing Pei Ye reached out to pick them and chewed them into his mouth. The scale flowers on his wrist became more solid, and his Dantian gave birth to some fresh Qi.

I can try one more time, he thought.

There was no silk-pulling Jade Tiger, no Qilin fire. He could only face this person head-on, but head-on, then head-on it was.

Even if you watch with your own eyes, can't my sword pierce into your body?

His blood-seeping eyes stared at Yu Sicheng's strange and terrifying body. The spine Bone Pivot couldn't be broken, and the skull was just as hard. There were no gaps in the vibration fed back from the kick just now, the neck had also been tried, and the heart didn't even need to be mentioned. Twenty-three years ago, a spear strike that carried Qilin fire—or some other fatal thing—hadn't been able to break it open.

The more he was in a desperate situation, the more Seeing Pei Ye felt as if he had arrived outside the Bright Moon Palace twenty-three years ago. A sense of powerlessness filled his entire body. His understanding of the enemy was far less than the enemy's understanding of him. Before him was exactly that strange and powerful marionette. He braced himself and stood up again.

It's like this, Zi Liang, that's right. Every spear strike can't be caught, every engagement, life is bitten off in large chunks, until you can't stand up anymore, because everything about you is under the opponent's control. This is a spear style used for execution.

Seeing Pei Ye didn't know what this spear technique that opened and closed in a big way was called, but he did indeed seem to have faced it once. It somewhat reminded him of Qiu Tianyu, but at that time, he absolutely didn't feel this kind of suffocating crushing.

There was one more place that could be tried once... the Dantian.

—"Second, the eye of the Qi Sea, the Dantian three inches below the navel, where the Qi Sea point is located. Mercury liquid is injected into the Dantian, and the meridian tree is planted in the mercury sea. It is the connection point between this set of bones and flesh and blood, and also the mixture of true Qi and mercury liquid, allowing the controller to use this set of bones as they wish, roughly like a human brain."

Seeing Pei Ye didn't choose this place for his first sword strike, because compared to the spine, the front was still too easy to defend. Not to mention the Dantian was where the true Qi sea was located. To pierce into here, the true Qi that had to be broken through was too thick. And the sword techniques he could use to cut in from the front had all been exposed, but the "silk-pulling" Jade Tiger brought by true Qi had never been revealed. Not to mention the Bone Pivot was the power source; once pierced, the power would be lost immediately.

But the Dantian did indeed have a characteristic that the Bone Pivot didn't have.

It was not entirely cast from Dragon Gold; it was a fusion of flesh and blood and metal.

It had to be more precise and complex, and complexity was far closer to instability than simplicity. Certainly, Dragon Gold also wrapped it, but facing a heavy strike, perhaps one situation that would occur was: the Dragon Gold was not broken through, but the Dantian was indeed damaged.

Seeing Pei Ye hadn't obtained verification, and the blueprint couldn't answer such a subtle question for him, but in such a situation, Seeing Pei Ye wouldn't choose to stretch his neck to be slaughtered, so this was the next sword strike he had to deliver.

"Grandpa here killing you is just like crushing a maggot." Yu Ziliang's head probed forward, staring at him fiercely. "Arrogant, why aren't you continuing to be arrogant?"

Seeing Pei Ye didn't look at him. He pursed his lips and stared at the heavy spear in Yu Sicheng's hand. In the split second before raising his wrist, he first turned his body against the wall. The next moment, the explosion of the spear tip hitting the wall sounded in his ears, but there were no flying stone fragments; the vermilion palace wall seemed to be cast dead.

Then this spear pulled horizontally along the wall suddenly!

The sharp spear blade reflected in his pupils, and Seeing Pei Ye raised his sword.

If you don't truly put yourself into Zi Liang's body, you won't feel familiar with these four overbearing spear strikes. He had taken many spear strikes from Yu Sicheng before, but only when the opponent truly understood you completely would this spear style come out. It had no fixed form, but the "momentum" of crushing the enemy step by step would not change.

First spear, Zi Liang's 【Mercury Flower Gonghua Gonghua Gonghua Fucha】 stance collapsed, suffering heavy injuries; second spear, Zi Liang was forced into a desperate situation with no room to maneuver; third spear, Zi Liang was pressed and extinguished in his struggle as a trapped beast; after the fourth spear, he could never stand up again.

Seeing Pei Ye seemed to see this horizontal pull a step earlier than reality. He slanted his sword to cut into the spear tip, 【Drifting Returning Wind】 swept several zhang along the wall, and the strength in his body flowed away rapidly like a broken opening—to take this spear strike, you must exhaust all your strength.

Then Yu Sicheng chased after his stiff body like a ghost. The execution of the fourth spear arrived as scheduled. Indeed, there was no room for resistance. Yu Sicheng stabbed a spear into Seeing Pei Ye's throat, the spear blade cutting open half of his chin along with it.

But the next moment, Seeing Pei Ye's corpse turned into a cluster of pure white flying feathers in the water.

The flying feathers brushed past Yu Sicheng's cheek and swept behind him. At the place where the first spear began, the youth with wings on his back grew out from the air.

The Flying Feather Immortal couldn't be used at any time. It took effect between life and death, but the seed was buried in the previous engagements.

"The mountain that cannot be climbed, grow wings to fly over." Its premise was that you had already seen the top of the mountain ahead.

If not for knowing how Zi Liang had been defeated step by step under these four spear strikes, Seeing Pei Ye would have no way to adjust his movements and responses. However, that scene of being desperately crushed by the four spear strikes twenty-three years ago, reappearing on the table of the Zhu Jing Hall after twenty-three years, wasn't it exactly so that the viewer could use this one more sword strike at this moment?

One sword strike, and Seeing Pei Ye escaped from Yu Sicheng's envelopment.

He arrived again with heavy injuries on the grass field where he had just talked with Luo Weiyou. The violent water had already swept through too many areas, countless Luoshen peach blossoms were torn off, flying messily in the air, but at this moment, they were all gathering toward the center.

A large number of tiny fish flashing with scale light, some holding a petal, some several together holding a whole flower, all surrounded the youth in the middle.

Countless flowers bloomed into one flower, and it was also like thousands of butterflies weaving together into a cocoon. This should be a dreamlike strange scene, and it should be a child's dream.

Some of these dark blue flower pieces surged into the youth's seven orifices, and some sank into the youth's wounds. In a very fast time, the scale flowers on Seeing Pei Ye's wrist were already burning hot, and then it began to spread. Seeing Pei Ye's forearm, chest and abdomen, corners of his eyes... all began to surge with prism-shaped gorgeous blue.

Yu Sicheng arrived in the next instant. The fifth spear that Seeing Pei Ye had never seen was in his hand, and the entire water area seemed to be moved.

Seeing Pei Ye broke through from the flower petals, as if experiencing a rebirth. The blood wounds on his body were stitched up by the scales, and the broken tendons and bones were connecting to each other at a speed he could feel himself. Probably in just half a quarter of an hour, Seeing Pei Ye could recover to seven or eight tenths of his state, but at this time, he didn't drag it out for even a single breath.

Because in the deeper part of his body, where the Dantian was located, the meridian tree was growing wildly at an unprecedented speed. Since parting with the Immortal Lord, the salary had never been so satisfied!

Sixth Life? Seventh Life! Eighth Life! The chasm between the upper two realms was stepped over easily as if it didn't exist, and it was still becoming more robust every moment, moving toward the peak of the Pulse Realm.

Unprecedentedly abundant Qi sensation echoed in his body. A spear strike came straight toward his throat, but Seeing Pei Ye didn't even cast a glance. He stared straight at Yu Sicheng's pupils. Those eyes that had always been indifferent seemed to have emotional fluctuations for the first time amidst the sky full of flying flowers, revealing a stunned expression.

Then, at this instant, the world started from his eyes, and everything was purified into a crystal-clear appearance.

Transparent thin ice spread out from under his feet, the human body turned into the appearance of ice and jade, and there was nothing in the entire world that couldn't be seen through at a glance. Sword blades, spear blades, the ground, the sky, the opponent's eyes, his own eyes... every single thing reflected his own appearance.

Bright Mirror Mingjian Mingjian Bingtian reflects me.

In all the transparency and tranquility, only the youth's figure swam forward, avoiding this spear strike that was sure to break his throat, but instead went even further forward, grabbing into Yu Sicheng's three chi.

Using the Heart Sword was a difficult and dangerous thing. This was knowledge Seeing Pei Ye had learned at the Sword Academy.

Even if one understood this Heart Sword, it didn't mean it could be used at any time. First, one had to prepare one's own state of mind. The Heart Sword was often produced in the ultimate realm of the heart. When a swordsman learned it, they stepped into that place, but they might not be able to call it at will. Second, the Heart Sword was often the killing of the opponent's mind-spirit realm by one's own mind-spirit realm, but before striking, it often interrogated oneself first.

A person's heart was not unchanging forever. Sometimes the person themselves didn't realize those changes.

If you were no longer transparent, Bright Mirror Mingjian Mingjian Bingtian would first shatter the shadows in your own heart.

Every time it was used, it was like putting oneself and the enemy on the guillotine at the same time.

But the benefits it brought were also incomparable.

Even an Audience Palace official, even a Heavenly Tower, could not ignore this sword strike.

Yu Sicheng's appearance beneath the icy sky was very strange; his entire being was frozen through, without the slightest shadow, yet the half of Yu Ziliang on his left side was almost entirely filled with surging, maggot-like shadows.

This scene caused Seeing Pei Ye's consciousness to be stunned for a moment—he had clearly only struck Yu Sicheng with his sword.

But at this time, he wasn't paying attention to these things. In just a split second, Yu Sicheng had woken up from the ice realm, and Seeing Pei Ye had already stuck into his spear with a strange posture.

His left arm could no longer move at all. Only intense pain drilled into his heart. The collapse of his left shoulder made the small half of his upper body stiff. His five viscera all had damage, the overflowing blood flowed in his abdominal cavity, and three ribs were broken, all on the left side.

But he had always protected his right arm well.

The heavy spear smashed down instantly. The Jade Tiger in Seeing Pei Ye's hand had already slashed up a step earlier. This was a head-on confrontation. Although Seeing Pei Ye's true Qi was surging now, he still couldn't catch this spear from far away; but precisely because his true Qi was surging suddenly, this sword strike really swung Yu Sicheng's long spear away.

Jade Tiger flew out of his hand in an instant. The right arm that received the impact turned his entire body over, from prone to supine.

But the Jade Tiger that flew out a moment ago did not leave the two of them.

It drew a tiny, dangerous drifting fold with rapid vibration, slashed down the sword in the hand of the stiff Yu Ziliang on the left, and then flew away out of control.

When this sword from Yu Sicheng fell, Seeing Pei Ye's raised right hand caught it just right.

At this moment, Seeing Pei Ye felt that this was an extension of the battle situation twenty-three years ago. This was the fifth round that hadn't appeared. He stepped on the height built by Zi Liang's first four spear strikes and used the sword to surpass this fifth spear strike.

Yu Sicheng took a step back, but Seeing Pei Ye had wings. He tilted his body and straightened up, all the strength in his body bursting out at this moment, sending the sword blade, which had turned red in an instant, deeply into Yu Sicheng's lower abdomen.

This sword strike was sent with too much force, and too decisively, so when it didn't encounter any obstruction and pierced through Yu Sicheng's entire body, Seeing Pei Ye didn't react for a moment.

The next instant, he realized what had happened.

He hadn't succeeded.

He had stabbed into empty air.

Yu Sicheng's Dantian was not at the place three inches below the navel.

But it also hadn't hidden to any other place. It was just a little further down. Seeing Pei Ye's sword blade had even grazed its edge... and that was also a position he was all too familiar with. In the few days and nights when he calculated the position of Yu Sicheng's 【Mercury Flower Gonghua Gonghua Gonghua Fucha】 Qi Sea Pivot, he had used Zi Liang's height and Dantian as a ratio.

It was precisely from the previous host that he had established an understanding of every detail of the new host of 【Mercury Flower Gonghua Gonghua Gonghua Fucha】.

This misalignment made Seeing Pei Ye feel somewhat dizzy for a moment. It didn't come from the surging water waves around him, but from some kind of cognitive inversion of his own identity and role. For a moment, it seemed as if the world had turned upside down.

He raised his head in shock and couldn't speak. Yu Sicheng just looked at the flower petals that were still chasing and surging toward his wound in a stunned and quiet manner. The Yu Ziliang at his side fell into madness after the Heart Sword strike just now. He flowed into Yu Sicheng's body at high speed, but his only remaining right arm was still clinging tightly to Yu Sicheng's shoulder, refusing to leave.

He stared at the scales rising on Seeing Pei Ye's body with infinite anger, his eyes split and his voice screaming sharply: "Who dares to block me!!" ===== CHAPTER 650 =====
