A man stands before the heavens, his sword emerges from the Emei Mountains.

Chapter 105 One glimpse of Zhiruo, and your life is ruined.

The extremely curved green bamboo, in the instant Shen Tiangu lunged forward, was released with terrifying force, like a long whip whistling as it slammed down. The bamboo leaves, enveloped in the force, suddenly opened like an umbrella, obscuring the view.

The Thunder and Lightning Sect Master only had time to hold the bronze plaque horizontally in front of his chest when a sound like a drumbeat suddenly rang out from the plaque, and ripples of energy flowed along the intricate patterns like thin snakes.

Shen Tiangu swayed and staggered backward.

Before the fight, Chen Yu had already put on gloves made of some unknown material. He suddenly raised his left hand, and dozens of emerald needles flashed with silver light, falling towards Wei Changning and Cheng Wei amidst the flying bamboo leaves.

He had never learned the hidden weapon technique of "sprinkling golden needles amidst a rain of flowers," but with a flick of his wrist, the force was extraordinary, and the green phosphorescent needles he threw out were quite impressive, making a hissing sound in the air.

"Watch out!" Wei Changning's soft sleeves, which were just moments before, instantly hardened like iron plates as he was forced by his internal force, and the fine needles that were attacking him were smashed and scattered in all directions.

Cheng Wei, lacking a right forearm, was unable to attend to his left and right. In his haste, he rolled over, looking disheveled, but managed to dodge the needles. Just as he leaped up, Chen Yu moved with agility and grace, flowing like clouds and water.

"Little thief."

Cheng Wei roared and swept his right iron hook horizontally, the cold light swirling like waves. Chen Yu suddenly stepped his right foot behind his left foot, took a resting step, and lowered his body for a moment. The iron hook swept over his head, and then he suddenly rose up. He used the Emei "Wandering Willow Sword" to stop and raise his sword. In terms of sword moves, it could be described as "Red Apricot Over the Wall". A curved sword light slashed from bottom to top towards Cheng Wei's abdomen.

As the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, Cheng Wei's skills were naturally extraordinary. He retreated for a moment, then shook his arm to stop his momentum, turned his wrist and swept the two-foot-long iron hook, which snatched and spun around, hooking the Longquan sword with a clang.

"Attack together! I'll lock this brat's sword in place."

L

"Kill him!" Shen Tiangu roared.

Chen Yu's breath suddenly roared like a tidal wave. His wrist sank, causing the iron hook to sink as well. Then, his right wrist rotated inward, and the longsword with the iron hook swung horizontally. He raised his left arm and unleashed a powerful upward strike with his rolling dragon elbow.

boom!

Cheng Wei's hairy head jerked back, blood mixed with his teeth spraying into his mouth. He stepped back for a moment, and the iron hook detached from his forearm.

Chen Yu twisted his waist, turning his back to Cheng Wei. His wrist was so supple it seemed boneless. His longsword spun rapidly in the air, and the iron hook, which was also spinning around the sword, suddenly flew out and landed on a skilled fighter from the Bilin Cave. The iron hook spun half a circle around the opponent's abdomen before landing, and his green intestines gushed out from the ripped open abdomen.

In front of Chen Yu, Shen Tiangu used the Thunder and Lightning Sect's ultimate technique, "The Difficult Road to Shu" technique. He used a copper plaque in his left hand to protect his chest, while his right hand used the Thunder God to deflect attacks along straight, uneven paths. The cold light shot in like a beam of light, enveloping Chen Yu's upper body without any turning point.

Chen Yu kept tapping the ground with his toes, his body retreating like lightning. With a thud, he rammed into Cheng Wei, who had been hit by the Rolling Dragon Elbow and was still catching his breath, against a thick green bamboo.

Cheng Wei felt as if he had been struck in the chest, his vision went dark, and he was squeezed between Chen Yu and Qingzhu's swords, unable to move. Under the bright moonlight, Chen Yu suddenly loosened his right hand, and the long sword slipped from his grasp. Immediately afterward, he gripped the sword in his other hand and thrust it behind him.

The Longquan sword pierced diagonally into Cheng Wei's body, passing close to Chen Yu's waist and ribs, with the tip going straight into his heart, instantly taking his life.

"Brother, I've avenged you."

Chen Yu reassured the original owner of the body, drew his sword, leaned forward, and stomped his heels on the roots of the green bamboo behind him, his body sticking to the ground like an angry arrow shot out.

The Thunder Gate Master, Shen Tiangu, had his bodyguards completely surrounded by a bronze plaque in his hand, but unexpectedly, Chen Yu launched an attack from the ground.

"Ah!" He yelled and his body flipped rapidly to the side. Chen Yu swept past him like a dragon swimming in the grass, and with a backhand stroke, drew a line of blood with his longsword.

Shen Tiangu, who had landed several feet away, swayed and began to tremble. Blood gushed from one of his legs, instantly staining his clothes, pants, and the grass beneath his feet.

After a "Huh," the man who suddenly appeared in the bamboo shed on the hill muttered to himself, "Chen Yu's cultivation is as profound as if he started practicing from the womb, but could his combat experience also have started from the womb?"

The man's words did not affect his swift and graceful movement. The sloping hillside gave him amazing momentum, and he closed the distance like a phantom in an instant. Then, with his left hand, he flicked a ball that landed straight behind Chen Yu.

"Yu'er, be careful."

"Junior Brother Chen, watch your back."

"The grenades will explode, kid, get out of the way!"

The voices of Extinction, Yu Lianzhou, and Elder Ape rang out almost simultaneously. Chen Yu swung his sword backhand, and with a boom, sulfurous smoke mixed with flames spread out.

Chen Yu was greatly alarmed. He held his breath, leaped into the air, and twisted in mid-air. His body moved like the wind passing through the willow branches, moving several feet horizontally among the dense bamboo. He grabbed a green bamboo with his left hand and hung on it steadily like an old ape clinging to a vine.

In the instant his vision shifted from afar to near, Chen Yu saw that Miejue and Yu Lianzhou had already launched a surprise attack. His master waved his whisk, sending one figure after another flying into the sky.

Yu Lianzhou of Wudang did not use any weapons. He simply grabbed and smashed with both hands, and wherever he went, disciples of the Five Poisons Sect and Thunder and Lightning Sect were turned into rolling gourds.

"Fourth brother, turn back before it's too late." Elder Ape's voice rapidly approached.

Chen Yu looked closer and saw Tang Qianhuan chuckle in a low voice. Suddenly, he said to Shen Tiangu and the others, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Before he finished speaking, he drew his sword and went.

Chen Yu's body slid down the green bamboo to the ground. Tang Qianhuan's long sword hummed with a clear and melodious sound, and then the long sword transformed into a light green shadow and stabbed over. The sword trace was exquisite and the bamboo leaves fluttering in the air were shredded into dust like clouds and mist wherever the sword's edge pointed.

The Thirteen Swords of Ever-Changing Illusions and Clouds truly lived up to its name. Chen Yu used his mind to guide his qi, channeling the Nine Yang Internal Force into the acupoints on his face, amplifying his senses to the extreme.

Bamboo groves are usually devoid of flowers, but the moment Chen Yu thrust out his Longquan sword, the sword light flashed like falling petals. Peach Blossom Island's "Falling Petal Sword Technique" was executed to its fullest extent, with dazzling, clear light intertwining with the sword light that swept over like clouds and mist.

Suddenly, a thunderous clanging sound, like a storm of metal striking metal, rang out from the bamboo grove.

Bamboo leaves were shredded into dust.

Two clear sword lights flashed and shimmered, while Chen Yu and Tang Qianhuan seemed to move and spin without substance. Suddenly, the two figures landed separately, and Tang Qianhuan kicked up a long bamboo with her right foot.

In the blink of an eye, two sword lights pierced into the bamboo, shattering the green bamboo inch by inch. With a crisp clang, fragments of bamboo membrane flew everywhere, and the tips of the two long swords collided, shattering into crescent shapes.

Chen Yu and Tang Qianhuan simultaneously struck out with their left hands in a lightning-fast motion.

boom!

The two men's palms seemed to contain thunder, creating a clear ripple in the air. Tang Qianhuan's figure soared back several feet like a kite, her toes touching the bamboo tips, and she somersaulted into the dense forest behind.

Chen Yu took two steps back, slowly exhaling a breath of stale air. He was filled with surprise, not because of the opponent's swordsmanship or internal energy cultivation level, which he had already expected. What was shocking was the hidden weapon the opponent had thrown earlier.

In the later stages of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, the Emei Sect used a hidden weapon called "Thunderbolt Fireball," which is remarkably similar to the thunderball that Tang Qianhuan just used.

How strange! Could it be that there are members of the Five Poisons Sect among the Emei Sect disciples in the world of Yitian?

Chen Yu's thoughts returned, and his gaze turned towards the direction of Miejue, Yu Lianzhou, and the others. He saw that the two heroes of Wudang, Yu Erxia, moved like lightning, as if they were carrying an electric current. Several men who touched them were sent flying in the blink of an eye. Just as someone threw out a hidden weapon, the cold light was reversed. Yu Lianzhou grabbed the man's neck and kept pushing him forward, crashing into a skilled fighter from the Thunder and Lightning Sect. Yu Erxia took the opportunity to snatch the iron plaque and smashed one of the attackers who had surrounded them, sending him flying five or six zhang away. The man coughed up blood, his chest bones caved in, and he died as soon as he hit the ground.

Yin Liting, Shao Xishan, Gao Muyang, Lan Caidie and others arrived in an instant and stabbed more than ten people to death on the ground in a very short time.

Elder Ape somersaulted twice and landed beside Chen Yu, looking him up and down. "Kid, you're alright."

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Senior, you've arrived just in time."

"It was Junior Brother Chen's timely appearance and warning that brought this to the rescue." Yu Lianzhou, who arrived with a swift and confident air and already possessed the demeanor of a grandmaster, was filled with admiration for Chen Yu.

With a swift movement, Miejue arrived, asking, "How did Yu'er know there was an ambush here?"

Chen Yu kept it brief, saying, "Junior Brother Yang and the others arrived ahead of time and set up camp in Youyang. The Five Poisons Sect forces attacked the camp."

"Are there any casualties?" Extinction asked hastily.

"There were not many people, and there were no casualties. After interrogating them, my disciple learned that experts from the Thunder Gate and the Azure Phosphorus Cave were lying in ambush here, so he rushed over. Fortunately, he arrived in time."

"Well done, disciple." Miejue never hesitated to praise Chen Yu, even in front of the Wudang Sect.

The sounds of battle still lingered in the bamboo forest. When Song Qingshu heard this, he was quite dismissive. "Just some mediocre cat or dog," he thought, "this is what you call an ambush?"

Chen Yu added, "On their way here, junior brothers and sisters may encounter the retreating Five Poisons Sect forces."

"A swift and decisive battle," Yu Lianzhou said.

"Okay." Extinction nodded.

The group charged into the bamboo forest again. Soon after, Yu Lianzhou, Yin Liting, Miejue, Elder Yuan, the head of Hengshan Sect, and others saw the destroyed traps and their enemies lying dead in the forest.

Yin Liting was terrified.

Extinction brings joy to the heart.

Song Qingshu's expression was extremely unnatural, but fortunately no one paid attention.

Suddenly, the sounds of fighting arose from a short distance away on the flank, followed by fireworks rising into the sky.

"It's my junior brothers and sisters," Chen Yu said.

"Xiaofu, my sister." Yin Liting's spirits lifted, his sword flashed and clashed, killing two members of the Five Poisons Sect. He then rushed forward to help the Emei disciples who were arriving.

Song Qingshu followed closely behind.

The moonlight was blurred by the chaotic figures, swaying like a gauze curtain. Song Qingshu rushed over to the scene and saw a female disciple of Emei being chased by a fierce man in black.

"You scoundrel, stop being so arrogant!" Song Qingshu drew his sword and was about to leap forward when he suddenly saw the Emei female disciple lightly touch the ground with her toes. As she flew through the air, she turned around abruptly and pointed her sword behind her.

This was the ultimate move of the Emei Sword, "Willow Dance in the Wind". In Song Qingshu's vision, the Emei female disciple who turned around was several feet off the ground, her green skirt fluttering. She looked back and gazed at the moon like a fairy.

Swish, blood gushed from the head of the burly man in black.

Song Qingshu quickly regained his composure, leaped forward, and said politely, "I am Song Qingshu of Wudang. I was blind to the exquisite Emei sword technique and must have been in danger."

Zhou Zhiruo, embracing her sword, replied, "So it's Young Hero Song. I'm off to fight the enemy."

Song Qingshu found the other person's voice as melodious as a clear spring, like water striking ice, or wind shattering jade.

"Together we face the enemy."

Song Qingshu rushed forward first, brandishing his sword and unleashing the Wudang sword technique. His movements were as swift as "Yi shooting down nine suns, as graceful as emperors riding dragons. Coming like thunderbolts gathering their fury, ending like the clear light of the sea." Wherever he went, his momentum was unstoppable.

Seeing that Song Qingshu's swordsmanship was superb, easily defeating ten opponents, Zhou Zhiruo turned to help her fellow disciples who were struggling against their enemies.

Ji Xiaofu fought against three opponents single-handedly. With a swift movement, she lightly deflected a longsword with her longsword, and with a move called "Sparse Shadows Slanting Across the Field," she drew a line of blood on her opponent's body.

Just as she was about to launch another attack, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out, "Xiaofu, I'm here to help you."

Yin Liting's figure instantly enlarged. A disciple of the Thunder and Lightning Sect threw out an iron plaque. Yin Liting's thrusting sword suddenly changed from hard to soft. The tip of the sword touched the iron plaque, deflecting it by a foot. The sword light flashed and then quickly pierced into the opponent's chest.

Yin Liting stepped in front of Ji Xiaofu and casually thrust out his sword, drawing out a staggering amount of blood from the abdomen of his opponent who was leaping at him with a knife.

"Xiaofu, my dear sister." Yin Liting turned around.

Ji Xiaofu had long been prepared to die in battle. The moment she saw Yin Liting, she thought of repaying him in her next life as a slave. This thought made her emotions stabilize very quickly. "Sixth Hero Yin, you've come."

Yin Liting overlooked the fact that Ji Xiaofu addressed him as Sixth Hero instead of Sixth Brother, but he felt happy because Xiaofu didn't look uneasy like she usually did when they met.

Yang An, Ji Xiaofu, Zhou Zhiruo, and others encountered the remnants of the Five Poisons Sect, Thunder and Lightning Sect, and Green Phosphorus Cave who had retreated from the bamboo forest.

Yin Liting, Song Qingshu, and others joined in, ending the battle as easily as chopping vegetables and melons. Song Qingshu stabbed the last enemy beside him with his sword. Amid the praise of the Emei female disciples, he flicked the blade with his left hand. The sword emitted a clear, long hum and trembled slightly. Moonlight fell on the sword surface, flowing like water.

Song Qingshu turned around gracefully.

There was no sign of Zhou Zhiruo behind him.

He looked around and saw Zhou Zhiruo standing in front of a slender woman not far away. He didn't know what the two were talking about, but their melodious laughter rang out like wind chimes in the night sky.

-

Song Qingshu was momentarily dazed, but quickly composed himself, sheathed his sword, and strode forward.

Suddenly, Zhou Zhiruo let out a cheer and, as swift as a flying duck, soared into the distance with the grace of a god.

"Master, Senior Brother Chen, Senior Sister Bei—"

Song Qingshu turned around and faced Abbess Miejue, Yu Lianzhou, Chen Yu and others.

A few steps later, Song Qingshu heard a reply calling out "Zhiruo".

"Henglan and Zhiruo, Chuanxiong and Pu, Mangli and Miwu, Zhuzhe and Baju. Elegant and ethereal, the person is just like their name."

Song Qingshu was full of praise.
