If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1420 Revenge
Grand Tutor Yu was a guest at the Gushui Dragon Palace, and his primordial spirit had already found Yan Wushuang's "Xuanwu Mechanical Beast".

The primordial spirit cast the "Demon Thought Parasitism" spell in the dream dimension, easily "falsely possessing and truly parasitizing" the maid Yue'er.

Yan Wushuang was a renowned "martial arts master" in China, but he was powerless against Yu Taishi's methods and was immediately caught off guard.

By this time, Grand Tutor Yu should have deciphered all of his killing moves and then modified the "N Ways to Kill Yan Wushuang" that Zifu had tailored for her into a way to kill Yan Wushuang that was suitable for Ying Tong.

However, in this stage, Grand Tutor Yu encountered a big problem, as her own strength was far inferior to Yan Wushuang's.

In the deduction of the "Jade Emperor's Method of Forceful Killing", a large "List of Jade Emperor's Skills" will appear, and every skill in the list can threaten Grand Tutor Yu.

In the deduction of "Yan Wushuang's Killing Techniques", Yan Wushuang's skill list was empty. It wasn't that he lacked killing moves; on the contrary, Yan Wushuang had mastered many supernatural powers and secret techniques, so much so that the King of Bohai's repeated attempts to besiege him all ended in failure.

However, Yan Wushuang's supernatural powers and secret techniques could not threaten Grand Tutor Yu.

Therefore, Zifu did not conduct any deductions or deductions to address them.

Grand Tutor Yu was thus unable to directly see Yan Wushuang's supernatural powers and secret techniques through the "Great Annihilation Father".

She had no idea what supernatural powers and secret techniques Yan Wushuang possessed, and how they could easily take Ying Tong's life.

How could she possibly write "Ying Tong Version: The Method to Kill Yan Wushuang"?
If her current strength were exactly the same as Ying Tong's, Zi Fu could complete the method of killing Yan Wushuang in a very short time without any special training. Because Ying Tong's raw strength is sufficient, Zi Fu only needs to find Yan Wushuang's weakness based on his specific situation with Yan Wushuang, and then let Ying Tong easily seize the opportunity to kill him with a single sword strike.

Unable to help Ying Tong take shortcuts, Grand Tutor Yu could only help him improve his hard power.

Using medical secrets to stack the debuffs to the limit, he barely managed to create a "Yan Wushuang skill" in his Purple Mansion: the killing move Jing Ke used to assassinate Ying Zheng, the Flying Rainbow Sword Qi of the Jinghong Sword.

Then, based on the "Flying Rainbow Sword Qi", the even faster "Typhoon Quick Sword" was created.

It must be said that hatred is the most powerful driving force.

Ying Tong had been practicing swordsmanship in his dreams for 250 years, and finally touched the "standard line" set by Grand Tutor Yu: in an instant, he pierced 36 tiny holes the size of needles in the thick steel wall.

"Not bad! Your aptitude is indeed a bit lacking, but you are diligent enough. You actually managed to persevere through two hundred and fifty years in a dream."

He was able to persevere for 250 years without complaining, and Grand Tutor Yu did not hesitate to praise him.

Ying Tong's spirit and energy are completely different now.

While arduous training in dreams cannot directly improve internal strength and physical physique, it can enhance memory and elevate the spirit.

"This is nothing. When I traveled through time in my dream earlier, the total time was a thousand years!" Ying Tong was a little flattered, but not arrogant.

"In the end, it is still the Grand Tutor's dream-traveling supernatural power that is more powerful."

If one were to hone one's skills for hundreds or thousands of years in reality, one's heart would surely wither and one would become utterly useless.

However, even if you travel through time in a dream, you will only feel disoriented in reality, no matter how much time has passed.

Even though some memories remain, they won't leave a permanent mark on your heart like real-life experiences.

Grand Tutor Yu smiled and said, "That's the charm of dreams. No matter how many unforgettable things you experience in a dream, it's still a dream. The you in the dream is like another version of yourself."

Dreaming is not about the spirit leaving the body and experiencing things in the dream dimension.

The experiences of the primordial spirit are no different from those of the physical body. Living in the primordial spirit state will also lead to mental exhaustion and be corroded by the poison of time.

Dreaming is merely a wisp of spirit (distractions) unconsciously moving within the dream world; this wisp of spirit does not affect the entire soul.

"That's why you can't bring your martial arts training back to reality!" Ying Tong asked in confusion.

"You've only practiced techniques, not cultivated internal strength and divine will. Of course, with the experience of practicing in your dream for 250 years, your diligent practice in reality will surely be twice as effective and you'll progress rapidly," said Grand Tutor Yu.

"Can my body immediately adapt to the skills I learned in my dream?" Ying Tong asked again.

Grand Tutor Yu said, "Sword techniques that are too complicated will definitely be difficult to adapt to. Therefore, when you face Yan Wushuang, you must immediately use the strongest and simplest killing move—the Thirty-Six Deadly Thrusts."

It's just a simple thrust; you're already familiar with this move from your past sword practice.

As for internal strength, you don't need to worry about that either.

Isn't there a secret technique in "Typhoon Sword Technique" called "Explosive Qi Technique"?

"By activating this secret technique, you can unleash ten times your potential, easily achieving extreme strength and speed."

The so-called "Explosive Qi Technique" is Sha Manyu's first self-created skill, "Chicken Blood Breathing Method".

Back then, lacking in physical strength, she could only use unorthodox methods to stimulate her body's potential and unleash extraordinary power.

Ge Qing, the "Master of Qi Refining," died because of this secret technique.

Upon reaching the level of Grand Master Yu, the power of the Chicken Blood Breathing Technique becomes even stronger, while the side effects are greatly reduced.

To put it bluntly, it has transformed from an evil technique into a supernatural secret art. It's of little use to her, but once taught to others, it immediately becomes a deadly skill for killing and self-preservation.

As for whether achieving "power and speed dual extremes" will reduce the effectiveness of "Typhoon Sword Technique"...
The key to the Deadly Thirty-Six Thrusts is to quickly retract the sword after thrusting out one strike, and then thrust out a second and third strike in another direction. This is a skill, not the speed of linear movement.

The Gu River stretches for more than 13,000 li, passing through several prefectures and counties including Shanggu, Yuyang, and Guangyang.

Yan Wushuang was more than 100 miles outside Xianghe County at the time, which is why she was able to receive the notification from the Xianghe County God of Travel.

Xianghe County is more than 6,000 li away from the mouth of the Gushui River where it flows into the sea.

According to Yan Wushuang's original plan, the Xuanwu mechanical beast could travel a thousand miles a day, and he could reach the East Sea within ten days to meet the immortal who organized the "East Sea Anti-Qin Alliance Conference".

Even when he started speeding at nearly Mach 2, it would still take him more than an hour to completely leave Yan territory.

He raced for only a quarter of an hour before crashing headfirst into a large net.

A loud shout came from the shore.

The Xuan Turtle mechanical beast, which was 100 meters long, 50 meters wide, and four stories high, was forcibly pulled out of the water.

A series of urgent exclamations immediately came from the control room of the mechanical beast.

"Young master, this is bad! The Five Elements Spirit Array of the mechanical beast has been interfered with, and the Water Escape Rune Matrix has failed."

We've escaped our water-遁 (water escape) state. Oh no, we've been intercepted!

"Ah, it's a huge net! Quick, activate the 'Black Tortoise Sky-Splitting Claw' and tear the iron net apart."

"If the Five Elements Spirit Array at the core of the mechanical beast cannot operate, how can the Sky-Splitting Claw be activated?"

The iron net that has trapped us must be the Pi Fa Xuan Jin Net; we have been ambushed by the Eastern Navy Legion.

"Young master, be careful, enemy attack!"

"It's Yu Fengxian! It must be Yu Fengxian! Run! Grand Tutor Yu is coming!"

Although initially panicked, they were able to perform their duties diligently. In the "cockpit," which shimmered with colorful runes and spiritual array patterns, everyone worked hard to repair the arrays and activate the runes, trying their best to keep the Xuanwu mechanical beast operational.

After all, the Xuanwu mechanical beast can dive underwater, but it wasn't built as a submarine.

It is actually a weapon of war; diving is just the most basic ability.

If fully activated, it can engage in hand-to-hand combat with deep-sea monsters. Possessing immense power, it can unleash various Xuanwu divine abilities—simulating the true Xuanwu divine beast's abilities through runes and spirit arrays. Even when ambushed, they should have the opportunity to resist, and even fight back.

But as soon as someone called out "Yu Fengxian", the sorcerers and Taoists who controlled the spirit array panicked.

In a panic, they stumbled and scrambled to escape the cockpit.

Then, each of the Eight Immortals displayed their unique abilities, either using escape techniques to run away directly, or opening the mechanical beast's "entry hatch" and jumping back into the river, or using invisibility techniques to hide temporarily and wait for an opportunity to escape.

Some Taoist priests even abandoned their physical bodies altogether, allowing their spirits to leave their bodies and escape unscathed.

Even though Yan Wushuang shouted and cursed, and even drew his sword to strike, he could not maintain the situation.

The Taoist priest, whose path he had blocked, roared at him with a ferocious expression, "Yan Wushuang, have you lost your mind? Grand Tutor Yu and Old Demon Yu are here! You're joining forces to resist? Run! Every one of you who can escape is a good one."

With the pilot gone from the cockpit, the defensive spirit array surrounding the Xuanwu mechanical beast dissipated and its spiritual light dimmed.

The mechanical beasts were exposed.

"Sizzle~~~" A dazzling sword light sliced ​​open the belly of the Xuan Turtle.

The glint of swords and sunlight pierced through the cracks, shining into the somewhat dim cabin of the ship.

"Young master, run! It really is Grand Tutor Yu. She's brought the warriors of the Bohai Prince's Mansion to seek revenge on you!"

The Seahorse Taoist, who had previously warned Yan Wushuang, rushed onto the bridge, grabbed Yan Wushuang who was about to kill someone with her sword, and ran wildly toward the tail of the mechanical device.

"Flying Swallow Guards, protect the Emperor! Hold off the enemy!" Yan Wushuang had regained some of her composure and shouted as she ran.

Immediately, four top-tier human immortal warriors, leading eight ordinary human immortals, formed the Four Symbols Formation to block the sword energy that was frantically pouring into the mechanical beast for Yan Wushuang.

"Boom, crack, boom, crack~~~"

If the Xuanwu mechanical beast were a world, it would be rapidly disintegrating at this moment.

The once indestructible Xuan Turtle Iron Shell broke into large chunks, flying off to reveal the mechanical structure inside.

It was then destroyed by an even more violent force, with debris flying everywhere and the space inside the cabin severely compressed.

Yan Wushuang witnessed several servants being crushed into a bloody pulp, with blood seeping from the gaps in the steel.

"Sir, be careful!"

Yan Wushuang finally saw the weapon that would destroy the Xuanwu mechanical beast: a wrist-thick iron chain with an iron ball the size of a water vat tied to the other end.

After scrambling out of the mechanical beast's wreckage, he could see more clearly.

On the bank of the Gushui River, there was a giant strongman, sixteen feet tall, chanting incantations and making hand gestures.

A black iron net, large enough to cover an area of ​​two hundred feet in radius, shimmered with a faint spiritual light and slowly floated from the ground into the air. Then, as if the process of casting the net had been reversed, the giant net quickly converged in one place, transforming into an iron rope as thick as a person could hug and three feet long, which was held in the arms of the strongman.

Clearly, it was he who cast the "fishing net" into the river earlier, accurately capturing the Xuanwu mechanical beast that was attempting to escape into the water.

Having captured the mechanical beast, they used immense force to pull the over thirty-foot-long beast out of the water, where it flew through the air before crashing heavily into the wheat field on the shore.

As the mechanical beast flew out of the water, the strongman began to close the net.

As soon as the black iron net detached from the mechanical beast's body, a ferocious attack descended: first, a swordsman cleaved the cockpit in two with a single sword strike, destroying the mechanical beast's power source; then, four strongmen, each two zhang tall, wielding meteor locks, relentlessly bombarded the "Iron Turtle" lying on the ground, twitching erratically, with iron balls.

This was a meticulously planned ambush.

Yan Wushuang felt a chill in her heart and despair in her eyes.

Since it was an ambush, why would we let him escape so easily?

The next instant, a roar filled with murderous intent and hatred came from behind him, "Yan Wushuang, prepare to die!"

Yan Wushuang quickly spun around to avoid it, and sure enough, she saw a familiar face.

King Ying Tong of Bohai, wielding a five-foot-long sword, charged toward him with a ferocious expression.

Yan Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: This fool has lost his mind in a fit of rage and is attacking me all by himself.

Having decided to use capturing Ying Tong as a bargaining chip to save his own life, he advanced instead of retreating, and the "Against the Current" sword at his waist was instantly drawn.

—First, parry the fatal sword strike, then use a secret technique to subdue this fool.

The sword moved with the heart, and with a thought in his mind, Ni Shui Han had already blocked Ying Tong's longsword.

"When~~~"

The sound of metal clashing pierced the clouds and split rocks, echoing throughout the battlefield. Yan Wushuang almost lost his grip on his sword.

Fortunately, "Against the Current" is a celestial sword, and celestial swords possess a spirit. Due to its master's slight carelessness, it unleashed its sword energy, blocking the powerful impact.

—Oh no, Ying Tong isn't just acting on impulse; he came prepared!

Sensing the deadly danger, Yan Wushuang dared not hold back any longer and immediately unleashed his strongest killing move, "Flying Rainbow Thrust".

The Flying Rainbow Sword Qi was like a rainbow after the rain, beautiful yet ethereal and untouchable.

"Ding~~~" The tip of Ni Shuihan's sword touched a hard object—the tip of Ying Tong's sword. Fei Hong flew halfway and stopped.

Yan Wushuang paused for a moment, and the next instant, thirty-five shooting stars flashed before her eyes.

The threat of death has never been as intense as it is now.

He unleashed his full potential, using his immortal sword to block twenty-nine of the meteors.

The remaining six meteors precisely struck six vital acupoints on his body—critical points that could be fatal.

"Pfft~~" The sword energy pierced through his flesh and bones, and a thin line of blood, three feet long, shot out from his back, flying seventy or eighty feet before slowly dissipating into the air.

Yan Wushuang felt all her strength drain away in an instant, leaving her limbs weak and her mind extremely exhausted.

Even the Yin spirit finds it difficult to move.

"Hahaha, Yan Wushuang, you have finally fallen into my hands!" Ying Tong laughed heartily.

"Help me~~" Even though her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, Yan Wushuang did not give up struggling.

He wasn't fighting alone at this moment.

The mechanical beast contained two hundred warriors and strange people.

They were not all dead; some Qi Refining disciples and Immortal Martial Warriors escaped.

They should all risk their lives to fight for his survival—this is Yan Wushuang's hope.

"Grand Tutor Yu, spare my life! King of Bohai, spare my life! This humble Taoist surrenders!" The old Taoist Haima knelt down decisively towards the distant hillside, not even glancing at Yan Wushuang beside him, only pleading for mercy in a trembling voice.
