Chapter 405: Four Perilous Blade Stances, Tiger and Crane Compete in Agility

"Talent, potential, and opportunity are all seeds on the path of the strong; if there is no environment to irrigate and sprout them, they are but dead bells."

Fu Nianzhang thought fiercely in his heart.

Although there are not many people in the world with abnormal Qi and blood, they are not exactly rare, yet how many can actually fight their way to the top?

Dayin Mountain is full of talent, yet only that fierce general possessed the talent of abnormal Qi and blood, finally fighting his way to the top.

As for the others, they either faded into the crowd or died halfway.

In the end, the path of practicing fist techniques and martial arts is fraught with crises; talent cannot guarantee you will live to the end, to the day you finally make it.

Although he was surprised by Zhou You's vigorous Qi and blood, after the surprise, he decided to strike a lethal blow and cut off all his possibilities.

Today is a challenge to the hall, both sides stand in opposing camps, and he cannot give Zhou You any chance to grow.

Fu Nianzhang suddenly withdrew his blade and stepped back, slightly lowering his body, lowering his center of gravity, and making a move that surprised everyone.

He bit the hilt of the blade in his mouth, held the blade horizontally forward, and left his hands empty to form the posture of tiger claws.

This appearance was very strange! Clearly having two hands to hold the blade, yet using neither, biting the hilt with his teeth, and clenching both hands into fists.

Zhou You knew that such a bizarre stance must have a purpose, and he had to be careful in responding.

"This is..."

In the Xiaolin Martial Hall camp, Tiger Elder Gongye Wei frowned slightly, recognizing the origin of this move.

The Four Perilous Blade Stances of the Shura Tiger Gate Blade: biting the blade, blade facing outward, hands in claw shape, crouching low like a tiger, placing oneself in a perilous position to stimulate one's own potential and instinct.

This move has a massive backlash, but its power is also terrifying; ordinary moves cannot compare to it.

The key is, if Fu Nianzhang had not encountered a strong enemy, he would not use such a move that harms both himself and others.

Is the Hungry Tiger Zhou You really this troublesome, forcing Fu Nianzhang to take such a risky move?

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, and people began to realize that this dragon crossing the river, Zhou You, was not just playing around; he might become a variable that overturns the current order of the martial arts world.

What's more, if Fu Nianzhang could not handle Zhou You, who else could they count on? Numerous gazes looked toward Tiger Elder Gongye Wei in unison.

The old man chuckled a few times, "What are you looking at me for? Watch their match; until the last moment, victory or defeat is undecided."

Facing Fu Nianzhang's Four Perilous Blade Stances, Zhou You perceived the extremely dangerous power contained in this move, hidden until the moment of release.

In his line of sight, Fu Nianzhang's lower limb muscles expanded, like a fierce tiger kicking out its hind legs, producing terrifying afterimages.

As he moved, it was like a giant tiger crossing the sky, casting a suffocating shadow upon the earth.

That long blade tore through the air, its cold light held back but not released, like the fangs in a fierce tiger's mouth craving blood and flesh.

With the blade held horizontally in front and a pair of tiger claws on the left and right, he unleashed the fierce and sharp fist techniques of Dayin Mountain.

If Zhou You wanted to block the horizontal blade, he would be captured by the tiger claws and his body torn to pieces; however, if he guarded against the two tiger claws, he would have to endure the lethal attack of the horizontal blade disemboweling him.

Coupled with the aerial attack from the Flying Tiger Response Technique, even if Zhou You used the Double Body Tiger Form Fist to split his shadow, he could not escape his high-altitude attack; the defeat was sealed!

The situation created by this move was a dead end; no matter what, Zhou You could not escape unscathed.

"Eagle's gaze, wolf's look, tiger's stare!"

Facing such a sharp and unsolvable killing move, Zhou You suddenly made a move that no one expected.

He suddenly twisted his waist; his lower body remained still, while his upper body twisted one hundred and eighty degrees.

This movement violated human anatomy; if it were an Intermediate Martial Master with a supple body, it might be fine, but for a Primary Martial Master to force it, the outcome would be torn skin and flesh, snapped joints, and a high probability of being paralyzed.

However, Zhou You did it easily; this was his talent.

He appeared to have his back to Fu Nianzhang, but in reality, his upper body had already turned toward the front where the killing move was coming. Since you have unleashed your ultimate move, I cannot continue to hide my skills either.

"Tiger and Crane travel together, heaven and earth connect!"

Zhou You's throat gurgled, and he suddenly let out a shrill crane cry, forcefully inserting itself into the surrounding tiger roars.

He remained in place, using the Tiger Form to meet Fu Nianzhang who was descending from the sky; his skin seeped blood beads, caused by the pressure of the sharp blade wind.

Fu Nianzhang was about to wield his blade to slash Zhou You, when suddenly a great wind rose behind his ears.

The air at high altitude was sliced open layer by layer, and wisps of fragmented wind fell on his back and head; this was an extremely dangerous omen.

A warning suddenly arose in his heart, and he jerked his head back; his neck bones could not bear the load, making a creaking sound.

Both claws still struck toward Zhou You on the ground, and he swung his steel-whip-like legs to kick toward the opponent's chest and lower abdomen.

"."

Fu Nianzhang's move pushed the potential of his body to the limit, revealing his true realm: Intermediate Martial Master.

Only an Intermediate Martial Master could twist their limbs to this extent and still successfully exert force without fear of tearing their flesh.

He bit the long blade and turned his head to swing it; the blade edge cut through the sky, colliding with the black shadow that had ambushed him from behind his head.

Clang!

The black shadow's attack was silent, concentrating all its power into a piercing strike with extreme penetrating force, causing the long blade to vibrate at high frequency; his two rows of tooth roots felt sour and painful, almost being pulled out by the roots.

"What?"

Fu Nianzhang saw the incoming black shadow, and it was actually also Zhou You.

Zhou You, high above his head, spread his wings like a bird, his fingers joined into a bird-peck shape, chiseling down toward the back of his head.

Had he not returned his move in time, he feared his skull would have been cracked open.

Thump, thump, thump! Zhou You, crouching low on the ground like a hungry tiger, traded punches and kicks with Fu Nianzhang's claws and legs; although it was a collision of flesh and blood, it sounded like giant rammers hitting the ground.

Originally, this basin was far lower than the ground level, and in the clash between the two, the ground was further compacted and slowly sank.

The onlookers stood on walls and rooftops, originally thinking they were away from danger, but seeing the buildings beneath them shake and crack, they felt this place was not very safe either.

"What kind of monster is this Zhou You? His Qi and blood are so vigorous, he actually suppresses the Intermediate-level Fu Nianzhang?"

Bo Xiaolin found it hard to believe; from the start of the fight until now, both sides had frequently used their ultimate moves, all consuming a great deal.

It was normal for Fu Nianzhang to be an Intermediate Martial Master, but for Zhou You, a Primary Martial Master, to be this fierce, his Qi and blood seemed endless.

Moreover, this person's weapon, the Bone Hammer, was far from an ordinary Qi and blood divine weapon; it could cause damage to the flesh of an Intermediate Martial Master, leveling the gap caused by their realms.

"Fu Nianzhang, you are nothing more than this; be defeated!"

Zhou You suddenly let out a great shout; his Tiger form leaped from the ground into mid-air, while his Crane form swooped down from high above.

This Tiger-Crane Dual Movement converged in mid-air, pressing toward Fu Nianzhang's chest and back, one in front and one behind.

The fierce tiger held a white bone hammer in its mouth, spitting it out like lightning, while the immortal crane clutched a sharp sword like a long beak, stabbing downward; ferocity and agility, steadiness and nimbleness merged, unleashing twelve-tenths of their power.

Fu Nianzhang exerted his full strength to swing his blade, "Shura Tiger Gate Blade, the blade faces no life, Shura is in the world!"

Although he exhausted all his strength, he was still defeated by the Tiger-Crane Dual Movement Fist, which was making its debut in Fucheng.

His flight could not match the Crane form, his attacks could not match the Tiger form; constrained at every turn, he was defeated on the spot! (End of chapter)
