The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 778 Fish and Dragon Dance
Let's get started!
One by one, groups of undead soldiers plunged into the Undead River like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, bringing an unusual commotion to the Undead Mountains.

Du Ziteng, whose body was as large as a giant pig, fell down, creating towering waves in the Buding River, but he was just like a piece of fat thrown into a pot of boiling oil.

It was big and made a loud crackling sound, but after a few moments it was nothing more than a white, greasy substance floating on top of oil.

The horde of corpse soldiers were single-mindedly chasing after Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen.

The formidable enemy who arrived first was completely clad in a black outfit from head to toe, with only his right eye and a wisp of hair exposed.

If it weren't for the fact that he could still wield that spear with such dazzling and all-encompassing skill, he would probably have been treated carelessly as an ordinary corpse soldier.

Hua Qiang Yu Lin leaped into the air, swung his spear, and descended from the sky.

As it fell, the single spear changed intricate and dazzling ways. Originally, it was like flowers blooming everywhere, but when it landed on the river, the water splashed like spear flowers, everywhere omnipresent and fraught with danger, completely covering the space where Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei were.

The two men, half-submerged in the water, gained the upper hand and, with nowhere to retreat in their haste, had no choice but to fight back with their weapons.

With a series of clanging sounds, Yu Lin used the spearheads as leverage to launch an attack from the two below while remaining airborne for an extended period.

Out of the corner of their eyes, the two saw the horde of corpse soldiers approaching from all sides. Seeing that they were about to be surrounded, they knew that they could not capture Yu Lin immediately, nor could they continue to entangle with him in a stalemate.

They immediately unleashed their combined strength, blasting Yu Lin into the air. Then, they quickly flipped over and flew into the water, swaying their bodies as they disappeared into the middle of the river.

Yu Lin's three heavy spear strikes landed on the river surface, creating three towering water columns, yet the two "fish" still narrowly escaped.

After he landed in the river, he did not swim after them. Instead, he stood on the riverbed and stared intently at the surface, as if trying to see through the movements of the two people in the water, while the horde of corpse soldiers approached them in various ways.

These undead soldiers may not have been very good swimmers in life, but once they were in the water, they all used their hands and feet, and the force of their violent thrashing was enough to propel them forward.

A scene that took place in the Unstable Mountains a few hours ago is now being replicated in the Unstable River.

The two escaped into the water.

Groups of three or five corpse soldiers followed into the water in pursuit.

The two seemed to be running out of energy and were always about to be overtaken, but they always managed to pull away at just the right moment.

The piles of corpse soldiers splashed and thrashed about in all directions, creating waves that seemed about to engulf the two figures in front of them, but they seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

The two were still escaping through the water.

This attracted three to five hundred corpse soldiers to chase after them in the water.

A relationship that is both close and distant, with an ambiguous distance.

The two rose and fell in the water, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden.

The number of corpse soldiers who chased into the water exceeded three thousand, or even five thousand, and was countless.

The water level of the Buding River continued to rise.

However, a small section of the river was almost completely filled with the bodies of the undead soldiers, blocking the riverbed and hindering the flow of water.

It wasn't until about ten thousand tireless corpse soldiers threatened to stop the flow of the Uncertain River that the tireless Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen finally stopped their "escape".

Even though these undead soldiers were all unable to swim, and the river was not particularly deep, when thousands of undead soldiers rushed in at once, those who could not swim could be trampled onto the riverbed and used as stepping stones for later undead soldiers.

When Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei looked back, they saw more and more corpse soldiers beginning to show their upper bodies and struggle to run in the deep water near the center of the river!

The two knew the time was right. Even if they tried to attract more corpses into the water, it would be counterproductive and would hinder their ability to maneuver.

Jiang Yichen, who is usually shy and low-key, rarely let out a long howl.

Then, by using the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, he borrowed external forces to stimulate the meridians throughout his body and fully activated the "Formless Sitting and Forgetting Heart Method," using himself as the key to leverage the primordial energy of heaven and earth!

With heavy breathing, Jiang Yichen rapidly inhaled and exhaled, while his dantian quickly contracted and expanded, gradually harmonizing with the rhythm of heaven and earth and returning to calm.

With a clear cry, she pointed her fingers and thrust her sword forward, like a white streak surging upstream into the dark mass of corpses!
Jiang Yichen's speed in the water was far less than half that of an arrow released from a bow.

The true energy released by the "Warm Ice Technique" seemed to originate from the same source as the water of the Unstable River, and it could freeze into ice without any hindrance when it encountered water. Under the powerful catalysis of the "Yin Wind Technique", it was even more effective.

Every three feet Jiang Yichen darted forward, the river water within a three-foot radius around him would quickly freeze!

boom! boom! boom!
The sound is produced when new ice forms and collides with old ice.

Jiang Yichen plunged into the tide of corpse soldiers without stopping. Layer upon layer of water and waves froze, sealing the layers of corpse soldiers within the ice!

As Jiang Yichen gradually left the river surface and rode the waves, even though some corpse soldiers could touch the hem of his clothes, they could not stop him from continuing to go against the current and into the horde of corpse soldiers.

On the surface of the Qingshui River, more than a hundred feet north of Mount Buding, what was previously clogged with dense black specks of debris has now developed a white gap between the clogs, which is continuously extending and expanding into a crack!
Bang!Bang!Bang!
However, the ice layer that Jiang Yichen had sealed with the Warm Ice Technique was difficult for three or five corpse soldiers to break free of, but ten or twenty corpse soldiers could help smash it open!

The white cracks on the river surface were quickly squeezed smaller by the black blockage, but the speed at which the white cracks moved was getting faster and faster, repeatedly opening up cracks between the black blockages!

Such a large-scale mobilization and manipulation of the power of heaven and earth, and the need to perfectly integrate and operate the four internal energy cultivation methods to the extreme, required Jiang Yichen to fly back and forth on the surface of the uncertain river more than ten times in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, covering nearly ten thousand corpse soldiers with ice. The physical and mental exhaustion of Jiang Yichen was comparable to carrying Leng Mei and performing the Dragonfly Skimming Lightness Skill on the river surface for a day and a night without getting his clothes wet.

He had no strength left to aim his sword at the heads of the corpse soldiers; he merely swept the blade across them, taking only one or two out of a hundred heads.

Even though the thousands of corpse soldiers had lost their minds, they all looked as if they had been greatly insulted, baring their teeth and glaring angrily at Jiang Yichen!

After several rounds, although Jiang Yichen still maintained his connection with the power of heaven and earth, he no longer released the Ice Sealing True Qi and slowed down the internal energy regulation. He dared not slow down his flying steps in the slightest.

The cold and alluring woman, sharpening her knife, followed suit, methodically channeling her inner energy in preparation for unleashing the "Flying Feathers" technique, which resembled a dragon soaring through the sky!
Holding the Cold Palace Osmanthus in both hands, it resembles a pair of wings of a cold demon, capable of hovering in the air, gliding and flying, and even plucking heads off.

As Leng Mei danced gracefully on the Uncertain River, the ice that had been broken by the corpse soldiers breaking free, the ice that had been smashed by the corpse soldiers' hammers, the ice that had been scratched by the Cold Palace's laurel branch, and the ice that had been shattered by her true essence, all of them were deeply broken into ice spikes shaped like pine cones when the "Azure Moon Gathering Sea Technique" was in operation and interacted with the surrounding air to the most intimate state!
The pine cone-shaped ice spikes swirl and dance under the influence of the cold, sometimes resembling leaping fish stretching their bodies, sometimes like a phoenix spreading its wings and looking down on the world, and sometimes like a dragon emerging from its cave and playing in the river.

Of course, only Jiang Yichen, who was close by and knew how to appreciate Leng Mei's actions, found them aesthetically pleasing.

Destroy the unfeeling zombie soldiers who have no aesthetic sense whatsoever!
Devastating destruction!
Ice spikes flew from and returned among the corpse soldiers. Leng Mei didn't need to spend too much energy controlling the accuracy of the ice spikes; she only needed to ensure that the piles of ice spikes could scrape over the top of the corpse soldiers most of the time.

Most of the zombie soldiers' heads would be pierced by ice spikes, causing the zombie worms to lose their central control.

Even if 30% or 40% of the zombie soldiers are not captured in a single encounter with the ice spikes, after the large ice spikes on the river have traveled back and forth a few times, most of these zombie soldiers will be separated from their bodies because their heads are covered with too many ice spikes.

An hour after Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen entered the water, almost all of the more than 10,000 corpse soldiers who had chased into the Uncertain River had their heads chopped off, completely losing their value to be used again!
However, the two had to go ashore to recover their strength due to the excessive exertion.

The two naturally dared not go to the area with the most corpses at the mountain pass on the south bank, but before they even reached the north bank, they could already see dangerous splashes of water blooming on the north bank! Flower Spear Jade Unicorn had been waiting for a long time!

Fortunately, Yu Lin's spear technique, though more intricate and powerful, could not contain true energy when wielded by a dead man.

Otherwise, Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen would be vulnerable to attack, and the sheer force of the spear alone would be enough to stain their bodies with blood!
In this life-or-death situation, Leng Mei held nothing back.

Together with the cold palace's laurel branch, they used it as a thorny staff, spinning and tossing it at the jade unicorn.

She leaned forward to Jiang Yichen, wrapped her arms around him, like a startled bird with its wings folded back to protect its young, stretching its neck to meet the challenge.

It transformed into a streak of light, weaving through the blooming spear blossoms and water droplets!

Fleeting moment!

In the blink of an eye, Leng Mei led Jiang Yichen ashore.

Yu Lin sidestepped the spinning double daggers.

He paused briefly, finding an angle to deflect the hundred-step flying sword that Jiang Yichen had flicked with his wrist.

The Iron Flower Sword collided head-on with the swirling, returning Cold Palace Laurel Blossom, revealing its height and distance.

With their hands empty, Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen could not simply sit and wait for their doom.

Just as Leng Mei was about to use "Fleeting Glimpse" to escape Jiang Yichen further away, her left calf suddenly tensed up and stiffened, becoming completely unresponsive!
Caught completely off guard, his right leg went limp, and his body swayed, almost causing Jiang Yichen to collapse to the ground!
Fortunately, when Jiang Yichen was being carried away by Leng Mei, he had already thought of multiple contingency plans, including defense and escape.

Before Yu Lin could close in with his gun, a flash of pink light appeared, and Jiang Yichen had already embraced Leng Mei, using the two opening formations to create a distance of four or five zhang.

However, both of them were at their limit, and any further attack from Hua Qiang Yu Lin could pose a fatal threat!
Fortunately, Yu Lin didn't have time to drain all their strength before the unexpected happened!

Suddenly, a loud clap of thunder rang out!
Originally, the aggressive and fierce Yu Lin was forced to dodge left and right, retreating step by step, and was forced back three zhang in an instant.

A sword and a man descend from the heavens.

The Azure Wave Sword, touching the ice and stirring the water, shimmered with light, carried the wind and thunder, and was breathtaking and awe-inspiring!
Water as clear as a mirror, wind blowing, fairy sleeves fluttering, defying frost and snow as they descend into the mortal world.

"Fellow Daoists Jiang and Leng, please find a quiet place to rest. We will take care of the rest."

The words are powerful and resonant, inspiring a sense of calm and composure.

Arriving alongside Shui Rujing was Xuanxiao, the leader of the Wudang Sect.

Xuanxiao's Taoist robe was covered in mud, wrinkled and torn, yet he held his sword like a whisk, his steps were even and unhurried, and his every move exuded an air of otherworldly enlightenment.

This otherworldly Taoist thoughtfully retrieved Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen's weapons and led them to a quiet place to settle down.

He then took out two pills from his pocket and gave them to Jiang and Leng, giving them some instructions before throwing himself into battle.

Leng Mei took the pill as instructed, but saw Jiang Yichen clutching the pill tightly, his eyes fixed on her.

Recalling how Shui Rujing addressed the two of them—"My two fellow Daoists."

He had a plan in mind when he compared Xuan Xiao's words to "Achen and his sister-in-law".

Suddenly, Jiang Yichen felt a sharp pain in his toes and gasped!
Leng Mei accidentally stepped on him when she leaned over.

My first thought was that Leng Mei's leg was still cramping, so I quickly took her arm and helped her sit down to stretch her leg.

But Leng Mei's gaze was fixed on the distance, her body standing like a wooden stake, showing no intention of submission.

Jiang Yichen shifted his gaze back to the area where the three were engaged in fierce combat.

With Xuanxiao's arrival, it was too late for Huaqiang Yulin to escape.

Shui Rujing swiftly severed Yu Lin's head, carefully picked it up, and prepared to hand it over to Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei for burial.

The two looked away and gazed at each other.

"Fish and dragons dance by the riverbank, and corpses and ghosts are vanquished under the clear blue sky."

Jiang Yichen sniffed the air alertly, and on a sudden inspiration, he began to compose a poem!
Leng Mei slightly raised her chin, her eyes questioning, "Is this a compliment?"

Jiang Yichen did not deny it, and asked, "How so?"

Leng Mei pondered for a moment before replying, "Affectation is called poetry? But it's on par with the level of a true poet."

The poet mentioned here is certainly not an ordinary poet.

……

……

"You worthless poet, stop writing those utterly worthless poems..."

In the capital city, Mei Huaijin, who had been taking care of Egg at its bedside for more than half a year, listened with great comfort to Egg talking in its sleep.

Before the war in Northeast China had ended, they were taken to Youjing City for treatment and care.

Mei Huaijin was able to get out of bed and move around freely within a month, but Egg was in a coma for two more months.

Fortunately, with the help of all parties and the meticulous care of Mei Huaijin, Egg has recovered somewhat and is now able to get out of bed and practice swordsmanship.

But I'm a bit more sleepy than usual.

She slept so soundly right after finishing dinner.

"But this child is still a child, growing and needs more sleep."

Mei Huaijin convinced herself in this way.

I tried my best to draw it with AI.
