I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 138 Isn't it normal for a Sword Saint to use a gun?
Bi Dongyou broke down for about half a minute.

I've finally adjusted my mindset.

He knew perfectly well that these two fools wouldn't let him go for nothing.

The fact that Bai Xuan had come alone gave him a strange sense of confidence that he might actually have a chance to kill him here.

He took a deep breath, raised his iron spear, and turned to rush towards Bai Xuan's direction.

Seeing this, Tai Chenghu also raised his broadsword to join the fray, while Tai Xiaobao, who was hiding in the shadows, turned around and fired three consecutive arrows at Bai Xuan.

The arrows came flying, but Bai Xuan didn't care at all. He used his flying sword Jiang Chengzi to block them. With a crisp clang, the black iron arrows were deflected.

However, without Jiang Chengzi's suppression, Bai Xuan only had the Lone Goose Sword in his hand, which greatly relieved Bi Dongyou's pressure. He immediately felt much more relaxed, and his spear thrust out one after another, flashing with cold light.

That strange phenomenon reappeared, accompanied by the rolling tide, and a sticky feeling came over me. It felt like I was being carried off course by the water. When the blade got close to the opponent's weapon, it was like a bullet falling into the water, and it would immediately slow down.

While Bai Xuan was entangled by Bi Dongyou, Tai Chenghu seized the opportunity and launched a charging leaping slash, the blade energy spreading several meters away.

Jiang Chengzi aimed at Tai Chenghu's body in a flash, but the flying sword was deflected by the arrow and missed him.

The Tiger and Leopard Duo's skill levels differed, one being higher and the other lower.

The higher level is the third level of the Finger Pointing Technique, and the lower level is the first level.

However, since it is a demonic path, it naturally possesses the ability to kill enemies of higher levels.

The two brothers can even kill on location by working together, thanks to their excellent teamwork.

The Thai leopard is a crucial element, capable of suppressing enemies with long-range arrows and providing cover with them.

Tai Chenghu's swordsmanship is expansive and powerful, truly unparalleled in its ferocity. At the third level of the Finger Profound Realm, his application of techniques and martial arts has reached its peak, with meticulous detail.

In terms of technique, there are no flaws.

However, his swordsmanship has a weakness: it's not fast enough.

Bai Xuan swung his sword with his left hand, slashing at Bi Dongyou and forcing the latter to raise his iron spear in defense. However, during the process, he put the sword into his Sumeru Ring and then summoned it from his right hand, aiming the sword at Tai Chenghu's throat.

Using both hands simultaneously, feinting to the east while attacking in the west.

Tai Chenghu hurriedly stomped on the ground to brake, and at the same time changed from a vertical slash to a swinging slash to change his center of gravity to avoid the attack. However, he was still a bit too slow, and a wound was stabbed in the chest, from which a spray of blood spurted out.

Tai Xiaobao shot an arrow again, but this time the arrow was intercepted by the flying sword. Bai Xuan raised his hand and thrust forward, the sword blade mixed with Frosty Sky Sword Qi, the afterimage between reality and illusion.

Before Tai Chenghu could even finish a single move, he was suppressed. His face immediately turned pale with shock, and he shouted angrily, "Show me what you're capable of!"

Bi Dongyou licked his lips, turned around and thrust out a spear to rescue Tai Chenghu, allowing Bai Xuan to turn around.

Little did he know that Bai Xuan's turn around would be the one causing him pain.

As soon as the Frosty Sky Sword Qi was unleashed, he immediately felt his hands become icy cold, the iron spear he was holding was bone-chillingly cold, and even his own true qi could not circulate smoothly.

This...this isn't right!

He was startled. This kid was practicing a cold-attribute technique?

But how could an ordinary cold-attribute cultivation technique have such a strong suppressive force!
Bi Dongyou practices his family's "Azure Waves Raging," a standard water-attribute martial art. The Azure Waves True Qi has a sticky effect and can increase the weight and power of each move.

Upon reaching the first level of the outer landscape, the connection with heaven and earth deepens, a phenomenon commonly known as the communion between heaven and man.

At this level, the true qi of a martial artist will undergo a further qualitative change, and every move may resonate with the power of heaven and earth, thus forming a unique spectacle.

Therefore, this realm is called the outer landscape.

It also comes from the evaluation left by a master in Yumen Pass: "Those who do not enter this gate will only see the scenery outside the gate."

However, at this level, there is also the concept of mutual generation and restraint among martial arts techniques.

Bi Dongyou can understand that his true energy is being suppressed.

But he couldn't understand why his true energy was being suppressed by a mere youth who had only reached the second level of Body Forging.

As soon as the Frost Heaven True Qi was released, his previously flowing Azure Wave True Qi froze as if it had frozen, and it could no longer circulate freely. Even the external phenomenon that resonated with heaven and earth quickly dissipated, which made him so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood.

My whole body felt like I had strength that I couldn't exert.

Bi Dongyou dared not withdraw his true energy, so he could only grit his teeth and shout, "Come and help!"

Tai Chenghu had only taken two steps back when he heard Bi Dongyou shout that he couldn't hold on any longer. His face twitched violently, and he thought to himself, "You useless bastard."

The magnificent exterior was attacked by a double-layered weapon, and the rescue was called out.

You've completely disgraced the outdoor shooting scene.

But he couldn't just watch his hard-won help go to waste, so he had no choice but to swing his broadsword and strike again. This time, Tai Chenghu was smarter and knew that he was no match for him in swordsmanship, so he simply began to use his ultimate martial arts moves, intending to win by relying on his power.

He had just begun to gather his strength and was about to make his move when he saw Bai Xuan throw his sword at him.

Another move, the Hundred-Step Flying Sword.

But it was too fast; even Tai Xiaobao's arrow couldn't keep up.

Tai Chenghu's attack was interrupted, and he was unable to dodge in time. He was pierced through the shoulder by the Lone Goose Sword and knocked to the ground.

Bai Xuan's hands were empty at this moment; he had no weapon.

Learning from the history of the Party is an excellent opportunity.

Bi Dongyou grabbed Bai Xuan's left hand with one hand and unleashed his true energy: "Don't even think about leaving!"

With his cultivation at the first level of the Outer Realm, he planned to use his vast true energy to overcome the elemental advantage.

Usually, having more than three times the amount of true energy is enough to suppress the opponent. Surely, even the towering Azure Waves can shatter a few pieces of floating ice?!

That's a great idea.

Unfortunately, Bai Xuan's Bright Moon Divine Skill was known for its profound internal strength, and he was no ordinary floating ice.

When you see an iceberg floating on the sea, you have no idea how big its actual size is underneath.

Bi Dongyou's entire arm was about to freeze into a block of ice.

He was horrified to find himself at a disadvantage, and roared in a trembling voice, "Attack now—!"

"I come!"

Tai Xiaobao leaped out from his hiding place, drew his bow and arrow, and roared, "Take this!"

Five arrows were nocked at the same time and fired simultaneously, each following a different trajectory towards the same target. Five arrows in a row.

But to their surprise, Bai Xuan hooked his toe and picked up the spear that Bi Dongyou had dropped on the ground.

He twirled the iron spear in his hand, deflecting five arrows with a clang. Although they grazed his skin, they were merely superficial wounds.

Then he kicked Bi Dongyou in the side, sending him flying backwards in a bent-over position.

Bai Xuan wasn't in a hurry to change weapons. He carried a spear and ran at full speed, holding the gun high above his head with both hands and circling behind him. Then, he circulated his true energy, focused his qi in his dantian, and let out a loud shout.

"drink--!"

The iron spear was stretched into a crescent shape and slammed violently into Tai Chenghu, who had just gotten up.

boom--!
The blow struck his hastily raised heavy sword directly, and the decent-quality machete shattered instantly; the fact that it didn't break completely was a testament to its excellent quality.

Tai Chenghu's knees couldn't withstand the pressure. One foot sank into the ground, while the other foot landed on one knee. The ground around him collapsed by nearly half a meter, and dust billowed up.

Blood spurted from the tiger's mouth, and its internal organs were also seriously injured.

The residual force of this attack shocked Tai Xiaobao so much that he didn't notice the flying sword rushing towards him, which pierced through his right hand, severing the bowstring and pinning his hand to the ground.

And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The Tiger and Leopard Duo had completely lost their ability to resist.

Tai Chenghu struggled to open his eyes, completely bewildered.

Isn't Bai Yueguang a swordsman?

Why is your marksmanship so good too?

Bai Wuming is indeed the founder of swordsmanship.

But Bai Xuan has more than just the alias Bai Wuming.

He has used all kinds of weapons, but he is especially skilled in the king of weapons on the battlefield – the spear!

In the heat of battle, changing weapons is perfectly normal; you use whatever you have.

People in the martial arts world are often bound by common sense, as if other people's weapons aren't weapons.

Bi Dongyou suffered the least injury, but that kick almost ruptured his kidney.

Just as he was about to get up, he saw Bai Xuan draw the Lone Goose Sword and walk towards him, so he immediately lay back down.

"I surrender……"

Bi Dongyou said weakly, "I am no match for you."

Bai Xuan glanced at him: "You're far inferior to the other one from yesterday; you don't even know how to use internal energy."

Bi Dongyou: "?"

Who told you that outdoor scenes always involve special energy?

Who exactly secretly raised the bar for the exterior scenes?
Let me tell you, my skill level is at least average for outdoor shooting!
You're too abnormal.

Moreover, I was outmaneuvered by your offensive and defensive tactics. It's not that I'm bad; it's that I was targeted!
He wanted to shout a rebuke, but nothing his defeated opponent said was convincing.

He lay down obediently and awaited his fate.

Bai Xuan asked calmly, "Are you from the Northern Zhou?"

"I'm a local."

"Oh, it's a rare one."

"..."

Bi Dongyou took a deep breath: "I have only chosen the Northern Zhou. With the current national strength of the Southern Dynasty, it is impossible to withstand the Northern Dynasty's military advance southward. The world will be unified sooner or later. Everyone has the right to choose."

“You’re right.” Bai Xuan didn’t argue with him about these meaningless topics. “But you have to bear the consequences of your choices. At least you won’t live to see the day when the word ‘North’ is removed from the name of the Northern Zhou.”

Bi Dongyou gritted his teeth: "I will take full responsibility for all of this; it has nothing to do with my family and relatives."

"That's not something I need to consider," Bai Xuan said calmly. "Besides, the Embroidered Uniform Guard doesn't have the final say in Langya."

"You're the Lin family's son-in-law, so what you say definitely counts!"

"I am just me," Bai Xuan said. "Besides, why would I help someone who came to kill me?"

Bi Dongyou said, "I can tell you what I know. I know who came from Northern Zhou this time, and they..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Xuan suddenly turned around and unleashed a sword strike.

As the arrow was severed from behind, countless poisoned needles erupted from it.

Bai Xuan activated the fourth technique, "Riding the Wind," which stirred up a storm, scattering and slashing down the poison needles.

There were other attackers?
He frowned as he surveyed his surroundings.

Suddenly realizing something, I turned around and looked...

Bi Dongyou had been pierced through the body, and the highly poisonous silver needles exploded. He didn't live for more than five breaths before dying on the spot, tears of blood streaming down his face.

Bai Xuan: "Tsk."

That was a decisive act of silencing them.

There was definitely more than one group of people from the Northern Zhou Dynasty; this group was just one of them.

They really want my head.

He sheathed his sword and walked toward the two silent assassins.

The fact that the Tiger and Leopard Duo are still alive proves that there was no need for them to be silenced, and it's highly likely that these two knew nothing about it.

The aftershocks of the fight here must have already spread.

It will only take a few minutes for them to arrive.

Bai Xuan found a place to sit down and silently adjusted his breathing to recover from his losses.
