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

Chapter 108 Dual Swords Combined, Extinction Goes Berserk

The blade seemed to slice through the moonlight.

With a clang, the longsword in the hand of Hengshan Sect Leader Shao Xishan broke apart after colliding with the Earth Moon Blade of the demon monk Yunze, and half of the sword flew into the air with a whoosh.

Yunze spun forward swiftly, his blade flashing like autumn water, leaving deep, menacing marks in the dust and grass. The Hengshan Sect Leader's martial arts skills were mostly displayed through his longsword, and with his weapon broken, he was immediately overwhelmed and thrown into disarray.

"Master, the demonic monk Yunze."

Miejue's hatred for the demonic monk Yunze, who almost stole her master's legacy, was no less than that for Yang Xiao and Xie Xun. Upon hearing this, Chen Yu leaped forward, thrusting her sword, raising her knee to pull the sword back, turning around and leaning back to point the sword. She unleashed her self-created martial art, "Extinction Sword," in a three-part combo attack on Yunze like a storm. The crystalline sword light emanating from the Heaven-Slaying Sword swirled and circled rapidly, and a strange sound like tearing silk echoed in the air. In the instant her body spun, the sword light was like a flawless ribbon.

Yunze exhaled like thunder, brandishing the Earth Moon Blade in his hand. The blade flashed, its movements simple yet ruthless. With three clangs, two figures suddenly flew apart, and the demonic monk looked at the precious blade in his hand.

The blade, which seemed to be infused with mercury or bathed in beams of moonlight, emitted a series of crisp sounds, and the precious sword remained intact.

Yunze felt relieved and smiled arrogantly, "Extinction, I was defeated by you at Mount Emei back then. I said that you were only relying on the sharpness of your sword. Once I find a sharp weapon, I will definitely come and challenge you. Today, I will settle both the old and new grudges."

"Nonsense." Miejue scoffed, then attacked again with her sword, thrusting out with a fierce, molten force, the sword striking the sky like molten lava, the blade colliding once more and creating heavy sparks.

Each wielded a powerful weapon, making it difficult for the Hengshan Sect Leader to intervene. He brandished his broken sword and attacked the nearest Five Poisons Sect master.

At this moment, the woman in yellow also launched her attack on Lian Zhenjia. She spread her hands apart, using the "Complete True Sword Technique" with the Gentleman's Sword and the "Jade Maiden Sword Technique" with the Lady's Sword. The Complete True Sword was majestic and grand, while the Jade Maiden Sword was swift and graceful. The left sword struck from above, while the right sword trembled and slashed back and forth. The two sword lights were like black dragons tearing at Lian Zhenjia.

"Well done!" The old monk followed the hammer, and a golden light swept through the air, instantly creating a sound like metal clashing that pierced the eardrums.

Chen Yu leaped to the side of Ji Xiaofu, who was being protected by Zhou Zhiruo.

"Senior Sister is still alive," Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly said.

"Junior Brother Chen, this is the Wudang Heart Protection Pill."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yu." Chen Yu caught the porcelain bottle that Yu Lianzhou threw to him and handed it to Zhou Zhiruo. "Protect Senior Sister."

"Don't worry, senior brother."

Chen Yu stood up and looked at the battle group where the woman in yellow, Yu Lianzhou, and Elder Ape were fighting against Lian Zhenjia.

The demonic monk's purple-gold hammer grew heavier with each strike, and when he occasionally swung his left palm, a foul stench filled the air, and the fight was intense and protracted.

Chen Yu stared intently for a long time, then his longsword trembled, and a cyan, spiral-shaped sword light enveloped Lian Zhenjia.

It was a move from the Ancient Tomb Sword Technique called "Cold Moon Assault".

The woman in yellow used "ambidextrous fighting" and happened to be using the "Cold Moon Assault" move from the Jade Maiden Heart Swordplay.

"Huh?"

The woman in yellow exclaimed in surprise, but her movements did not falter in the slightest. A bizarre scene unfolded where Chen Yu and his opponent combined their swords, while the woman in yellow herself combined her left and right sword techniques.

Suddenly, it was as if three icy moons exploded, and black, clear sword light flashed like lightning, sometimes straight, sometimes curved, sometimes springing out, omnipresent and all-pervasive.

Lian Zhenjia's figure transformed into a swift shadow, rapidly shifting and moving, her purple-gold hammer swung into a bright and dazzling protective golden light.

The sound of popping beans echoed throughout the room, followed by a clang. Chen Yu's Longquan sword broke in his hand. He flung the broken sword out of his hand, and Lian Zhenjia flicked her left sleeve, sending the broken sword flying towards Elder Yuan.

The ape dodged the incoming sword with a somersault, and the moment he landed, a disciple of Hengshan threw him a long sword, which he then used to attack again.

"Here you go." The woman in yellow didn't even ask how Chen Yu knew the Ancient Tomb Sword Technique. Her right hand, the Lady's Sword, flashed and struck the Purple Gold Hammer. Her left hand then tossed the Gentleman's Sword toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu took advantage of the situation and feigned a thrust with his sword. Suddenly, he flipped the sword hilt and pulled it back with his hand. The purple-gold hammer that the woman in yellow had deflected with her sword was cleverly stuck half a foot away by the gentleman's sword in Chen Yu's hand.

The woman in yellow moved with the speed of the wind, and with a swift thrust of her sword, she stabbed into Lian Zhenjia through the opening in the center.

Chen Yu and the woman in yellow have different sword trajectories, but the name of their moves is the same: "Flowers Bloom on the Brocade Brush" from the Jade Maiden's Heart Sword Technique.

The woman in yellow was the one who unleashed the brilliant stroke of her sword; Chen Yu became her wedding dress.

"Huh!"

Lian Zhenjia swayed her body and transformed into a swift shadow, rushing back several feet.

Chen Yu was overjoyed.

If the two men and women were not lovers, they would find it difficult to appreciate the many subtleties of Lin Chaoying's self-created sword technique. Chen Yu and the woman in yellow were meeting for the first time and naturally had no emotional involvement.

However, the former's martial arts skills were unparalleled, and Chen Yu's swordsmanship alone was enough to place him among the top masters of the time. Both of them had also practiced the general principles of the Nine Yin Manual, and once they understood one thing, they understood everything. Their comprehension was amazing. When the two swords were combined, they still unleashed a power that even Lian Zhenjia dared not underestimate.

The essence of the "Ambidextrous Fighting" created by the Old Rascal lies in "using two hands at once". Both hands can use different martial arts, making it impossible for the opponent to defend against. However, one hand can never replace one person. When Chen Yu and the woman in yellow combine their swords, the power still exceeds that of her using the "Jade Maiden Heart Sword" alone.

The woman in yellow was extremely intelligent and naturally saw through the mystery.

Chen Yu raised his sword hilt, pointing the tip downwards as if pouring wine from a pot, and launched another attack. The woman in yellow moved in sync with him, flipping her sword tip upwards as if raising a cup to drink.

With a move called "A Light Drink," the sword light instantly enveloped Lian Zhenjia.

Lian Zhenjia retreated another zhang, her mind blank. Judging from their previous interactions, it was clearly their first meeting, yet their swordplay was so exquisite and seamless.

"Take this!" Chen Yu suddenly shouted. He and the woman in yellow spoke in unison, and the Gentleman's Sword and the Lady's Sword were drawn together, instantly forming an arc. Lian Zhenjia felt a cold, dazzling light, and her figure was already enveloped in the sword circle.

As the three clashed, the two sword lights in Chen Yu and the woman in yellow were like swimming dragons, sometimes going east, sometimes west, sometimes up, sometimes down, and sometimes flying together, rolling back and forth. Black light scattered, and sword energy crisscrossed. The sound of metal clashing was as dense as the sound of firecrackers exploding in the first month of the lunar year, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

Yu Lianzhou, Elder Yuan, and Lan Caidie were all unable to intervene, as the three of them wielded divine weapons. If they were even slightly touched, they would either break bones or lose limbs.

Yu Lianzhou and the others simply withdrew from the battle.

Elder Ape, sword in hand, charged straight at Tang Qianhuan.

Yu Lianzhou charged toward the leader of the Thunder and Lightning Sect.

Once the group freed their hands, they displayed astonishing destructive power.

The fierce battle then erupted from the mountains and forests.

Xia Jingzhe and Wei Changning, the master of Bilin Cave, clashed with Hongshuiqi's disciples with an overwhelming numerical advantage.

In the dim moonlight, Yu Lianzhou's center of gravity sank, the soles of his shoes scraping against the ground with a piercing crack, turning the sand, stones, and grass beneath his feet into dust. His body then swayed like a top, dodging the Thunder God's Block and Strike from the Thunder Gate Master's hand. Suddenly, his right hand gripped the opponent's ribs, and with a sharp pull from the bulging veins of the arm, a rib appeared in his hand with a crack. Yu Lianzhou's right arm then drew an arc upwards, and the sharp rib, like a dagger, plunged into Shen Tiangu's throat with a soft thud.

Yu Lianzhou then pounced into the crowd like a tiger, unleashing his Wudang Cotton Palm technique, cutting through waves as he advanced, leaving no one able to withstand more than two or three moves.

Suddenly, a sound like ice cracking and beads shattering rang out in the arena. In the battle between Extinction and the demon monk Yunze, the Earth Moon Blade, which had clashed with the Heaven-Slaying Sword countless times, suddenly broke into several pieces with a cracking sound due to the unbearable pressure.

"Ah, this is impossible!" Yunze roared.

"Earth Moon Blade, how can the earth contend with the heavens?" The fierce battle and the anger made Miejue's face look extremely ferocious. With each breath, her body moved in coordination with the internal energy and blood in her meridians and blood vessels. The ultimate move of "Extinction Sword", "Destroying Heaven and Earth", was resolutely slashed towards Yunze.

A dazzling display of light filled Yunze's vision, as a violent burst of light descended.

Yunze shouted and unleashed a powerful whirlwind with his sleeves. In an instant, blood exploded and splattered everywhere, and a shrill scream came from Yunze's mouth.

An arm, still draped in a tattered monk's sleeve, flew into the sky. Yunze was covered in blood, and Miejue's left palm immediately pressed down on his opponent.

"Wow"

Yunze spat out blood and flew several feet before landing on the ground. He rolled several times, then leaped up and plunged into the dense forest.

In another part of the valley, Chen Yu drew a semi-circle with his Gentleman's Sword, while the Yellow-Clad Woman's Lady's Sword also curved in an arc. The two sword arcs, like a crescent moon, encircled Lian Zhenjia within them.

The move "Blooming Flowers and Full Moon" from the Jade Maiden Heart Swordplay.

A clang of metal clashing rang out, and Lian Zhenjia's purple-gold hammer swung high into the air. Chen Yu retreated from the circle of light as if drunk, while Lian Zhenjia fell several feet backward, landing with two scarlet sword wounds on her chest, the sight gruesome and terrifying.

The old monk's resentful gaze lingered on the woman in yellow and Chen Yu for a moment, then his figure blurred as his fierce eyes swept over Elder Ape, Yin Liting, and the others. He swept his purple-gold hammer around, forcing everyone aside, and then quickly left with Tang Qianhuan and the woman wielding the whip.
