Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 159: Jade Girl Suxin, Sword Spirit Takes Over
Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue both knew that they could not grasp the power of the magic sword at all when they just held it, so they simply ignored the characteristics of the magic sword and used it as an ordinary sword.

The sword power of the Fairy from the Sky became even more brilliant with the blessing of the Thunder Sword.

However, Ximen Chuxue's sword does not have so many fancy things.

When the sword comes out, the person dies.

For him, swordsmanship is that simple.

So, although his sword is not as powerful as the Fairy Sword, it is more ruthless and more ruthless!

With one sword, Xiaolongnu was repelled.

With two swords, Xiaolongnu was in a desperate situation.

The third sword will be extremely deadly!
At the critical moment, Zhou Ming waved his left hand, and the power of heaven and earth captured the dragon and crane, pulling Xiaolongnu to his side, thus avoiding Ximen Chuxue's third sword.

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Miss Long's strength is slightly inferior, and the power of the Ice Soul Sword is a bit mild. If Zhou Ming and she join forces, I'm afraid they will be no match for Ye Gucheng and Ximen."

Wei Ziyun said, "I'll go help him!"

He stepped forward to break into the field.

But suddenly his heart started beating violently and his whole body became cold.

A hand clapped on his shoulder.

Jin Jiu said with a smile: "As for the fight between the masters of the spirit swords, you mortals should just watch from the sidelines and don't interfere."

Everyone's faces froze and they had no choice but to stand where they were, motionless.

In the South Study.

The emperor frowned and asked, "How long has it been? Where are all the palace guards? Why haven't they appeared yet?"

A dark figure emerged: "I will go and look for it now!"

He left through the secret passage behind the South Study.

But he didn't know that his action was seen by people in the dark.

Tiedan Shenhou shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Failure in the end..."

On the other side, Cao Zhengchun said with a smile: "It's time for the East Factory to enter the scene."

Liu Xi said respectfully, "Yes."

In the field.

Xiaolongnu was led to Zhou Ming, and Ximen Chuxue naturally followed her.

The Qingguang Sword is sharp and even more powerful in Ximen Chuxue's hands.

Xiaolongnu was unable to react in time, but Zhou Ming intervened from the side, and the Changhong sword stabbed diagonally, blocking Ximen Chuxue's sword.

But such a big move also revealed a huge flaw.

Ye Gucheng immediately seized this flaw and thrust forward with the Thunder Sword.

But Xiaolongnu lowered her body and stabbed upwards with the Bingpo Sword from below.

The action looked extremely difficult, but it just forced Ye Gucheng to give up the attack and protect Zhou Ming.

The two men came together, and the two swords became one.

Changhong used Quanzhen swordsmanship, each move was righteous, while Bingpo used Jade Maiden swordsmanship, which was light and agile but lacked power.

However, the combination of the two complements each other.

As the art of war says, use the normal to unite and the unusual to win.

At this moment, the two of them, with Changhong as the positive and Bingpo as the strange, complement each other and their skills are so exquisite that no loopholes can be found.

"This... When did Master Zhou and Miss Long master this combined sword technique?" Sikong Zhaixing asked in surprise.

Lu Xiaofeng said, "No, Old Zhou still uses the Quanzhen sword technique, and Miss Long still uses the Jade Girl sword technique. But these two sword techniques can actually complement each other, which is really amazing!"

Wei Ziyun said, "I heard that the founders of the Quanzhen and Ancient Tomb sects were in love with each other and became close friends. Could it be that..."

The honest monk shook his head: "Perhaps so. But while the sword technique has no flaws, the one who wields the sword does have flaws."

The reason why the honest monk is called the honest monk is because he never tells lies.

Just as he said, there is no flaw in the Jade Girl Pure Heart Sword Technique, but the person who uses this combined sword technique does have a flaw.

That is the imbalance in strength between Zhou Ming and Xiaolongnu, which makes Xiaolongnu always a little slower when the two sets of sword techniques are connected.

Even if this is just a tiny moment, anyone in the innate realm, even those in the grandmaster realm, may not be able to catch the flaw in this moment.

But, who made them face Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue as opponents at this moment?

Although their cultivation was innate, their comprehension of swordsmanship was comparable to that of a grandmaster.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to comprehend the rudiments of martial arts.

This small flaw was easily caught by them.

Then, it was time to look for the best opportunity to seize this flaw!
After ten moves, Ye Gucheng suddenly exerted force.

The dazzling lightning and the gorgeous fairies from the sky blocked the power of the long rainbow.

Ximen Chuxue immediately cooperated and swung his sword, hitting the Bingpo Sword.

This is the flaw.

Xiaolongnu couldn't withstand the blow, and her body became unstable after being hit by the sword. She misstepped and fell directly.

The green sword pierced his shoulder.

Ximen Chuxue had no intention of killing, but at this moment he had to make Xiaolongnu completely lose her fighting ability.

But at this moment, a red light flew over and blocked Ximen Chuxue's attack.

However, Zhou Ming threw out the Changhong Sword in his hand, and the sword flew over and broke the attack.

Zhou Ming himself lost the sword in his hand and could only dodge repeatedly when facing Ye Gucheng's attack.

But his lightness skill was extremely mysterious. His body flashed in a flash, and even the sword technique of the Flying Fairy could not hurt him at all.

"Long'er!"

Zhou Ming said loudly: "The divine sword has a spirit. You should not treat it as a sword, but as a fighting partner. Since your own strength is insufficient, let this partner fight for you temporarily.

Although this method is not the right way, it can indeed allow you to exert greater strength!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu couldn't help but close her eyes.

In an instant, she seemed to feel that power.

Ximen Chuxue thrust out the green sword in his hand again.

The Bingpo Sword was suddenly raised, and the sword body was horizontal, blocking the blade of the Qingguang Sword.

"Ok?"

Ximen Chuxue couldn't help but frown.

The onlookers were also slightly surprised.

Ximen Chuxue's sword has always been extremely fast. How could Xiaolongnu have such a reaction speed to block his sword?

Moreover, with Ximen Chuxue's cultivation level, the power of this sword is far beyond what Xiaolongnu can withstand.

But she blocked it!

What is even more surprising is what happens next.

The blue light shone, Xiaolongnu closed her eyes, and her delicate arms tightly grasped the Bingpo Sword. She burst out with unparalleled strength and actually stood up against the Qingguang Sword.

Ximen Chuxue changed his sword direction and attacked from the side.

The Bingpo Sword immediately turned, blocked the sword, and then used the sword body to draw green light and hit Ximen Chuxue back.

Then he took advantage of the situation and slashed out with his sword, which shone brightly.

A sword energy burst out instantly.

Before the sword energy arrived, the cold air had already swept in all directions, condensing into a layer of frost on the surrounding ground.

Ximen Chuxue also slashed out a sword energy.

However, the cold sword energy of the Bingpo Sword cut it through in an instant and then came towards Ximen Chuxue.

Ximen Chuxue dodged.

The sword energy fell to the ground, directly cutting through the bluestone floor of the palace, leaving behind a sword mark covered with frost.

"It's so cold! This chill is dozens of times stronger than before!"

"Miss Long's strength has increased more than tenfold. Even a Second Flower Grandmaster might not be able to block that sword energy just now!"

"Is that the power of the sword spirit?"

Wei Ziyun was envious: "How many surprises does this spiritual sword have?"

"The spirit sword...it's really magical!" Ye Gucheng couldn't help but sigh.

Red light dances.

The Changhong Sword flew back into Zhou Ming's hand.

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "Give you time, you can do it too. But even so, fighting me will only end in a draw. The sword spirit has limited strength, while the sword master has unlimited strength!"

"Even so, I can't do this method, but you can. Why don't you defeat me with this method?" Ye Gucheng asked.

"This method will damage the sword spirit, and it will take an extremely long time for the sword spirit to recover." "I see."

Ye Gucheng nodded, but sighed: "It seems that we can't escape today."

Tatata!
The sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard from all directions, and teams of imperial guards in strong armor came in, blocking the way all around.

Ximen Chuxue stopped.

Xiaolongnu did not stop, but Zhou Ming stopped her with a flash, and then took her and quickly retreated to the door of the South Study.

"His Majesty!"

Liu Xi used his light-footed skills to cross the encirclement, ignoring everyone present. He hurried directly towards the South Study's door and said, "The East Factory guards are late. I hope Your Majesty will forgive them!"

The door to the South Study opened.

The emperor appeared at the doorway, guarded by four dark figures. His face was as gloomy as water. "You're so late, what a waste! Take down the traitor Ye Gucheng!"

"Yes!"

Liu Xi turned around, his eyes suddenly cold and stern: "Black Arrow Team, capture Ye Gucheng!"

The most elite black archery team of the East Factory appeared, each holding a large bow. They immediately drew their bows and arrows, and their arrows danced at such a speed that afterimages were left. There were no more than thirty people, but the arrows they shot were as dense as rain, heading towards Ye Gucheng.

Lu Xiaofeng stomped his foot and immediately rushed in to support Ye Gucheng.

A hand was clasped on his shoulder, preventing him from moving.

Lu Xiaofeng turned around and saw that it was Jinjiu.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Just watch carefully and don't affect their performance."

Lu Xiaofeng was detained, but Ximen Chuxue was free.

White shadows are flying.

He has already appeared beside Ye Gucheng.

The two looked at each other.

No words were said, but the other party's meaning was already clear in his mind.

The next moment, a rain of arrows came.

The two men immediately brandished the Thunder and Green Swords in their hands, forming two dazzling sword curtains.

Even if arrows rained down like rain, they could not break through these two sword screens.

"Go! Imperial guards, hurry up! Surround and kill them!"

Tatata!
The palace guards entered the arena with firm and orderly steps. They were wearing extremely thick armor and holding shields, which were specially equipped to surround and kill martial arts masters.

However, the eunuchs from the Eastern Depot rushed into the arena first, their figures like ghosts, and attacked the two men with swords in their hands.

The two men were not afraid at all and raised their swords to fight back.

Amidst the flying white shadows, thunder danced and green light shone.

Even though the eunuchs from the East Factory were numerous and powerful, they were like weeds in front of the two men and were harvested at will.

The emperor became even more furious and shouted, "Liu Xi! If you let them escape today, you will report to me with your head in your hands!"

"I will definitely take them down!"

Liu Xi's heart trembled, and he rushed into the field and slapped Ye Gucheng with one palm.

Ye Gucheng blocked with his sword, but was knocked back several steps by his palm.

"Liu Xi?"

"It's our home!"

Although Liu Xi is as humble as a dog in front of Cao Zhengchun, his strength is that of a second-level master and he is very powerful.

"The great method of absorbing energy!"

Liu Xi stretched out his hand, and an overbearing suction force directly sucked Ye Gucheng in front of him.

Ye Gucheng was unable to resist, so he simply raised his sword and stabbed forward.

Liu Xi reached out and grabbed the Thunder Sword, and used his full strength to absorb the power. He tried to use the Thunder Sword as a medium to directly absorb the power in Ye Gucheng's body.

However, there was a crackling sound of thunder, and he sucked out all the thunder power of the Thunder Sword.

Even though Ye Gucheng treated thunder as nothing when he used it, Zhou Ming also basically ignored the thunder that burst out from the spiritual sword when he fought against him.

But this is because both of them have spiritual swords in their hands.

Liu Xi didn't have this thing, so the thunder was sucked in and all of it came over him, instantly striking him so hard that his bones and muscles became soft and numb.

Ye Gucheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately wanted to seize this opportunity to kill Liu Xi.

Liu Xi reacted quickly, forcing the internal energy to circulate, and slapped the sword with his other hand, knocking himself away, thus getting rid of the influence of the thunder.

The eunuchs from the East Factory rushed over and blocked Ye Gucheng, giving Liu Xi time to respond.

"The Thunder Sword...what a magical sword!"

Fear and greed appeared in Liu Xi's eyes, but the most urgent task at the moment was to capture Ye Gucheng.

"Even if you have the spirit sword to protect you, and I can't use my energy-absorbing technique, you will definitely die today!"

He suddenly slapped out with his palm, and the fierce palm wind covered all directions.

Due to the difference in cultivation level, Ye Gucheng was suppressed in an instant.

On the other side, Ximen Chuxue did not have such a powerful opponent, but the eunuchs from the East Factory and the palace guards were endless and could not be killed, which completely trapped him and prevented him from moving forward even a single step.

"Amitabha!"

This scene made the honest monk chant the Buddha's name: "It seems that City Lord Ye and Benefactor Ximen will eventually perish in this palace."

Gin laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the other party trying to stop him just now, and asked hurriedly: "Sir, do you want to take action?"

"They don't need me to help, they can do it themselves!"

Jin Jiu said loudly, "Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuxue, have you forgotten what Mr. Zhou said just now? Don't treat the swords in your hands as weapons, but as partners. Since your own strength is insufficient, temporarily entrust your lives to your partners!"

"What on earth does this mysterious Gin want to do?!"

The emperor's expression changed, and he asked in a low voice, "Changping, can the two of them do what this girl did just now?"

Zhou Ming thought for a moment and said, "Logically speaking, they shouldn't have such abilities since they just got the spirit swords. However... Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue are both the most talented swordsmen in the past three hundred years!"

"Genius... huh?"

The emperor murmured, then looked at the guards around him: "Those so-called royal family members, none of them have arrived yet?"

"No."

far away.

Zhu Wusi looked at the situation on the scene and kept thinking in his mind.

It seems that the outcome has been decided.

But according to that Jinjiu, if Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue could draw on the power of the sword spirit, perhaps...

"Wait a little longer... wait a little longer..."

In the field.

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue were reminded by Jin Jiu, and they just frowned slightly and decided to follow this method.

Although enemies were surging around them, they had already reached the state where they could remain calm even in the bustling city.

Even though I am fighting against the enemy now, my heart is becoming more peaceful.

In this tranquility, both of them felt a strange power emerging.

This force is very powerful.

But as it emerged, this force was also trying to control their bodies.

The two of them naturally developed a resistance.

After all, no one would be willing to give control of their body to others.

But with this resistance, the power faded.

Obviously, the price of using this power is to temporarily give your body to the other party.

It was at this moment that the two truly understood what Gin meant by entrusting one's life to one's partner.

Since even your body is controlled by the other person, it is natural to hand over your life to your partner.

Under the current circumstances, the two of them could no longer refuse.

Ximen Chuxue made the decision first and allowed the power to surge into his body.

A hint of green light appeared in his eyes.

The green sword in his hand kept ringing.

Then, with a horizontal slash, sword energy burst out!
