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

Chapter 99 Exterminating Yang Xiao, Clues and Foresight

The tense atmosphere was frozen, but it was immediately broken by Ding Minjun's shout.

"Where did this thief come from?"

Ding Minjun's judgment was simple. First, Chen Yu had made the move. Second, she recognized the clothing worn by the outer disciples of the Hengshan Sect. Since the two burly men had attacked the Hengshan Sect, they must be enemies, not friends.

"Where did this shrew come from?" The burly man wielding a spiked club retorted sharply. Ding Minjun leaped up, her figure passing through the window, the light of her sword sweeping towards the man as she rushed forward.

"careful."

The burly man raised his spiked club high and brought it down with earth-shattering force.

Chen Yu appeared beside Ding Minjun in a flash. The moment he raised his sword to parry, his wrist suddenly sank to release the force. With a "clang," the Longquan sword made a crisp sound, and the blade bent into an arc, rippling like water along with the surging energy from the mace.

With a crack, the blue bricks beneath Chen Yu's feet split like a spider web. His longsword retracted like a phantom, and he used his left hand to pull Ding Minjun sideways, shifting their positions several feet away.

The spiked club in the burly man's hand paused for a moment in mid-air the instant Chen Yu sheathed his sword, before falling to the ground and smashing the entire blue brickwork into pieces, sending shards of stone and dirt flying like a waterfall.

"Where are you going?"

The burly man with iron bars strapped to his arms roared like thunder, his body moving with the ferocity of a beast.

"laugh"

The faint clang of the sword reached the burly man's ears in an instant, and the light of the Longquan sword magnified.

"Brother Wu, be careful."

The man surnamed Wu was taken aback, but he reacted quickly, raising his left arm across his chest and striking down with his right hand like thunder.

"Clang!"

Chen Yu's longsword struck the iron bar on the arm of the burly man surnamed Wu. The sword bounced back with a hum, and the man's right hand missed its mark. The Longquan sword that Chen Yu had retrieved bounced back again, bent to the extreme, like an iron ruler. The blade struck the man's chest, creating a large white cloud of energy on his clothes. The man felt as if his chest had been hit by a hammer. He retreated rapidly, each step causing the bluestone to crack, until he crashed into a wall and stopped.

The man wielding the spiked club let out a series of huffs and puffs, and the heavy weapon, weighing an unknown amount of weight, swept towards Chen Yu like a scaly python.

Chen Yu's figure transformed into a circle as he dashed forward, while the burly man also spun rapidly, the sword and the spiked club clashing together several times.

The lightning-fast exchange on the long street was as loud as thunder. A man in white appeared at the second-floor window of the teahouse, and the windows on the top floor of the inn on the side of the street were also pushed open one by one.

Miejue, Yu Lianzhou, Yin Liting, and Song Qingshu emerged from the crowd.

"Uncle-Master Zhou, let me help you."

Song Qingshu swayed and leaped out of the window.

"Go back."

The white-clad man who appeared in the teahouse flicked his finger, and a pebble flew through the air.

"Qingshu, be careful."

Yin Liting threw his longsword.

From another room in the inn, Tang Zhihu’s shouts rang out.

"It's Yang Xiao."

With a clang, stones and longswords flew into the sky above Chen Yu and the big man wielding a spiked club. Yang Xiao appeared below the inn like a ghost, grabbed the big man surnamed Wu who had been injured by Chen Yu, and threw him behind him.

"Are you out of your mind? Get out of here!"

He used a clever technique to throw the man, who landed several feet away and took two steps back to regain his balance.

"Yang Xiao, prepare to die."

Yang Xiao looked up for a moment, and then Miejue pounced down, unleashing the "Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere" move with her right palm. The fierce and unparalleled palm wind pressed down, and even before the palm force arrived, there was already a piercing whistling sound in the air.

Yang Xiao's cold face held a mocking expression as his right palm flashed like a fan, meeting the force of the Extinction Palm.

bang————

After the sound of defeating Ge, Miejue landed, but felt that his Emei Nine Yang Skill palm force was like a mud ox crossing the sea, completely dissolved into nothingness. Yang Xiao's body sank, and his feet sank half a foot into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Xiao's left hand swept upwards with lightning speed, and Miejue's left hand also pressed down. With a bang, the two figures suddenly separated.

Ten feet away, Chen Yu slapped the shoulder of the burly man holding a spiked club with his left palm, making a loud, drum-like sound.

Chen Yu felt as if his palm had landed on an iron plate, and his palm throbbed with pain. The burly man, on the other hand, felt as if his shoulder had been struck by a hammer, and the clothes in the middle of his palm turned into shreds that fluttered like butterflies.

The burly man let out a low growl, swung his spiked club twice, and leaped to Yang Xiao's side.

"Why is Left Envoy Yang here?"

"This is not the time to talk, let's go."

"Left Envoy Yang, Banner Envoy Zhuang, the old bat has come to lend a hand." When the voice suddenly rang out, there was no one in sight on the long street where the inn was located. As soon as the word "leverage" was uttered, a green figure stretched out from more than ten feet away. The green trace at the beginning of the trajectory the figure left seemed not to have dissipated. The figure had already traversed the entire distance of space and landed on the roof above the teahouse. The figure waved its sleeves backward and squatted with its left foot in a half-bow stance. The green tiles under its feet trembled loudly.

"Chen Yu, Abbess, they say enemies are destined to meet again, and we've met once more," Wei Yixiao said coldly.

Extinction's eyes were fixed on Yang Xiao. With a sharp look, the Heaven-Slaying Sword rang out with a long cry, and she shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. The sword light swept towards Yang Xiao like a clear stream.

This old nun's martial arts skills are far superior to Gu Hongzi's. With the Heaven-Slaying Sword in hand, she is not to be underestimated. Yang Xiao's figure suddenly sank, and his right foot swept horizontally. The blue bricks on the ground that were smashed by the wolf-tooth club suddenly flew up and fell towards Miejue. His figure swayed like light smoke and rushed towards Chen Yu.

"Banner Commander Zhuang and Deputy Banner Commander Wu, if you don't leave now, you'll be trapped."

As Yang Xiao launched his attack, the flag bearer whistled, "Go!"

The two leaped into the air and onto the teahouse behind them. Yu Lianzhou and Yin Liting then swung their bodies and, as if climbing a ladder, crossed the long street to catch up with them, engaging in a fierce battle with Wei Yixiao and the others.

On the dusty street, Miejue's Heaven-Slaying Sword shredded the bluestone, while Yang Xiao, carrying overwhelming pressure and tidal wave-like energy, rushed towards Chen Yu. Chen Yu's Dragon Spring Sword drew a rainbow arc, its radiance overflowing.

Yang Xiao's figure spun rapidly around Chen Yu like a wisp of smoke. Suddenly, a sword light shot into the sky and condensed into a ribbon that wrapped around his body. This was the ultimate move of the "Willow Sword Dance in the Wind" technique, "A River of Tobacco".

Chen Yu's sword technique was impenetrable, preventing Yang Xiao from getting close. Miejue's figure flashed from behind like lightning. Yang Xiao sneered and his figure moved into the inn in an instant, flying up to the second floor like a crane. He grabbed two girls in each hand and threw them at Chen Yu and Miejue.

"Yang Xiao, if you have the guts, let's fight one-on-one." Miejue shouted sharply, grabbing Bu Hui, who had been thrown by Yang Xiao, with her left hand and placing her on the ground. She touched the ground with her toes and soared into the sky. Above her eyes, Yang Xiao and Chen Yu crashed through the house one after the other.

Under the bright autumn light, Yang Xiao, Chen Yu, and Miejue's figures floated like birds of various shapes on the rooftops of Hengyang City. Behind them were Song Qingshu, Jingxu, Bei Jinyi, Su Mengqing, Tang Zhihu, Old Master Ji, and others.

More than ten people walked briskly down the long street. The one in front of them was Shao Xishan, the leader of the Hengshan Sect, with Gao Muyang, who was skilled in playing the guqin, and Elder Yuan and Lan Caidie on his left and right.

While Chen Yu, Miejue, and the others were staying at the inn, Hengshan disciples came to report to the sect. Since Miejue was the leader of Emei, Shaoxi Mountain naturally had to receive her with the utmost courtesy.

As the group moved forward, ignoring the two sides of the field, some people were leaping and chasing each other, creating an astonishing scene.

"It's that brat Chen Yu and the Emei Sect Leader." Elder Ape had seen Extinction in the Xiang River several years ago, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Shaoxi Mountain Man has taken off, his graceful and fluid flight resembling a giant crane riding the wind.

The Hengshan Sect leader and Yang Xiao, who had been intercepting them diagonally, quickly closed the distance between them.

"Where are you going?"

"roll!"

Amidst the billowing dust, Yang Xiao's palm strike created a vortex in the air, and the dust kicked up by his white robe sleeves pushed forward like a gray wall.

With a deafening roar, Shao Xishan staggered backward, the tiles beneath his feet shattering. Yang Xiao, however, used the force to glide horizontally like a kite for five or six zhang before landing in the streets and alleys of Hengyang. He followed Chen Yu and Miejue into the crisscrossing alleys.

The gongs rang out urgently, and whistles echoed all around, stirring up the entire city of Hengyang. Inner and outer disciples of the Hengshan Sect leaped onto the high places of the buildings, constantly shouting out the movement trajectories of Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, and the others.

Before hundreds of Hengshan disciples could surround them, Chen Yu, Miejue, Shao Xishan, Elder Yuan, and others chased after Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao and disappeared outside Hengyang City, as night fell.

The dense forest was filled with the smell of decaying leaves. Zhuang Qishi and Wu Fuqishi rushed out of the forest one after the other, reached the stream, squatted down and gulped down water, then slumped to the ground.

"I never expected that Yu Lianzhou and Yin Liting from Wudang would almost suffer a setback in Hengyang," said Deputy Banner Envoy Wu.

"That's right, the Bat King called that kid Chen Yu. Who is he? His swordsmanship is superb." Zhuang Qishi asked.

-

"Who knows?" said Deputy Banner Envoy Wu.

"That kid's sword is quite good. If it were made of ordinary material, it would have broken after taking three blows from me."

Deputy Banner Commander Wu said, "After nine forgings, it is a sword that combines strength and gentleness, a true treasure."

"Do you know him?" Zhuang Qishi asked.

Deputy Banner Commander Wu laughed, "He already stabbed me with his sword. If it weren't for the iron bars binding my arm, I would have been pierced through the heart long ago. In this world, there's no weapon whose craftsmanship I can't recognize, as long as it catches my eye. There have been very few people in the last hundred years who possess this kind of skill; the old rules of the previous dynasty..."

My blacksmithing master knew how to do it.

Who is your master?

"I live in seclusion in Guanzhou, passing on only my skills and forbidding anyone to ask my name."

"He's quite an extraordinary person."

"Yes." Deputy Banner Commander Wu nodded, got up, washed his face again, and left.

As the two walked away, a shadowy patch under the trees behind them stirred, and Elder Ape emerged.
