Chapter 541: Chapter 147: Still Trying to Escape?

Luo Qi remained silent.

He just looked into Chen Tang’s eyes, unconsciously revealing a hint of fear.

Not to mention those disciples who hardly ventured down the mountain and roamed the Jianghu, even he, after a few years of earning the title of ’Ba Mountain Cloud Sword’, hadn’t witnessed such a scene.

Disciples of all the major sects of Nanxia, when traveling in the Jianghu, inevitably engage in life-and-death battles, but rarely to the point of losing life.

Unless the opponent is an unforgivable demon, there is usually some restraint.

But for decades, the Demon Sect has been rooted in Xiling, and hasn’t troubled Nanxia for a long time.

The entire Jianghu has been at peace for a long time, and the last time a blood battle occurred was back in the War of Xiajiang.

Yet Chen Tang was different.

He rose from a remote county in Beiqian Pingzhou, facing a survival crisis the moment he stepped into this world, living every moment on edge.

From annihilating the Evil Wolf Gang, burning Qingyun Tower, to opposing the Profound Celestial Sect, slaying dragons and destroying temples...

On Hermit Continent, he also experienced the tactics of these hermits.

All the way here, it has been a storm of blood and gore, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The Jianghu Chen Tang has traversed is entirely different from that of these Ba Mountain Sword Sect disciples.

Therefore, Chen Tang’s actions made the disciples of Ba Mountain Sword Sect’s hair stand on end, their hearts pounding with fear!

Of course, some of the bolder ones caught a glimpse of understanding in Chen Tang’s swordsmanship.

"Incredible, the move ’Torrential Rain’ can actually be used this way."

"I’ve always heard from the master that the Torrential Rain Sword emphasizes weight and momentum rather than technique. Today, I’ve witnessed that ’Torrential Rain’ can erupt with such force, such astonishing momentum!"

"This Brother Chen’s ’Continuous Drizzle’ also possesses great charm, with a persistent sword momentum that penetrates every gap, targeting the opponent’s weaknesses, forcing responses."

Those disciples accompanying Jian Qiuchi to the Martial Arts Assembly were all considered to have good talents within the Ba Mountain Sword Sect and naturally had keen eyes, able to discern some intricacies.

"Speaking of which, how does Brother Chen know our ’Ba Mountain Swordsmanship’? It feels stronger than my ten years of foundation."

"Isn’t it obvious? It must have been taught by Senior Mistress."

"Senior Sister Jade Flute is not that old, hasn’t known him for long, yet can master swordsmanship to this level? Do you think it might be the master who..."

As this disciple spoke, he subconsciously glanced over at Jian Qiuchi.

Only to see Jian Qiuchi looking at him coldly.

This disciple was startled and immediately shut up.

In fact, at first, Jian Qiuchi also suspected that Ye Yushi had taught Chen Tang ’Ba Mountain Swordsmanship’.

But after careful observation, most of Chen Tang’s swordsmanship only resembled the style.

At a glance, it looked like sword techniques from ’Ba Mountain Swordsmanship’, but in reality, it fell short by quite a margin.

Many sword techniques were imitated by this person using his immense and fierce strength or his supremely fast sword speed.

"This person uses this swordsmanship to slay hermits, presumably blaming Luo Qi and others for forcing him into a sword duel, deliberately revealing ’Ba Mountain Swordsmanship’ to everyone."

Jian Qiuchi sighed inwardly, "Indeed they were in the wrong, I too should have stopped it in time."

"This person had kindly warned about the poison in the fish soup earlier, yet everyone didn’t believe him and fell into the Eastern Barbarians’ trap, alas."

Jian Qiuchi was filled with emotion. In reality, Chen Tang hadn’t taken that matter to heart.

He abandoned the blade and used ’Ba Mountain Swordsmanship’ only to avoid exposing his identity, it wasn’t as calculative.

On the other side.

The Celestial Concealment had already been battling with Ye Yushi, entangled in a fight. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Celestial Concealment excelled at stealth and assassination, but ultimately, being an Innate Martial Artist, even a single Sword Qi strike was empowered by Innate True Qi, with immense power.

Ye Yushi, having only cleared six meridians, was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

She could only rely on intricate body and sword techniques to possibly maneuver around the Celestial Concealment.

She had already cultivated Sword Heart Clarity, with amazing perception.

No matter how concealed or tricky the Celestial Concealment’s attacks were, she could always sense the danger beforehand and evade promptly.

The two had fought for over thirty exchanges, with the Celestial Concealment completely in control, yet unable to harm Ye Yushi quickly.

But on the other side, the battle was collapsing!

The one who had been trying to extract information from him wielded a sword, moving through the crowd as if in an unoccupied land.

Wherever he went, blood mist filled the air, corpses lay everywhere!

Having fought Jade Flute Fairy for more than thirty moves, he looked again, and over half of the hundred-plus hermits had been slain by him!

Another ten moves passed, and looking again, a large group of people was dead over there!

At this rate, regardless of whether Jade Flute Fairy could last a hundred rounds, all the elite hermits he had brought would be lost here!

He gnashed his teeth in hatred, frustrated and upset.

The Eastern Barbarians had faced nothing but misfortune this past year.

First, their homes were raided, slaughtering freely in Hermit Continent.

Now, in attempting to destroy Ba Mountain Sword Sect, they encountered such significant losses.

Where on earth did this person come from?

Rip!

In a moment of distraction, his chest garment was slashed open by Ye Yushi’s Sword Qi, nearly injuring him!

This startled him into a cold sweat.

He vaguely realized something was wrong.

He couldn’t even defeat Jade Flute Fairy; once that person finished off the other hermits, they would surely come for him.

Of course, he was indeed of the Innate Realm.

Even if both Jade Flute Fairy and that person joined forces, threatening him would still be difficult.

Yet, if both entangled him, waiting for Jian Qiuchi’s cold poison to be resolved, he would be in grave danger!

Jian Qiuchi, after all, was a Celestial Ranking expert; in a direct clash, he was no match at all.

At this thought, he let out a long whistle: "Retreat!"

In this brief delay, only a dozen of the over a hundred hermits remained on the boat.

These dozen hermits, upon hearing this, felt as if they had been granted a great amnesty, turning and fleeing without a second thought.

In a flash, they all dove into the heart of the river, disappearing without a trace.

"Jade Flute Fairy, and that person, the blood feud today our Dongyi Race will remember, one day we’ll repay it tenfold!"

This Celestial Concealment shook off Ye Yushi with a strike, face gloomy, uttered a sentence, and turned to rush towards the distant river surface.

"Still trying to escape?"

Chen Tang lightly shouted, "Stop them!"

Ye Yushi understood, immediately shifting from defense to offense, wielding the Autumn Water Sword, suddenly bursting into a cluster of sword rain light points, densely covering all surroundings, enveloping this person!

"Courting death!"

The Celestial Concealment’s eyes flashed a cold light, with murderous intent emerging.

If Ye Yushi had guarded fully, dodging constantly, even he wouldn’t find an adequate opportunity.

But now, with Ye Yushi taking the initiative to attack, it instead placed herself in danger!

"Jade Flute, be careful!"

Jian Qiuchi saw the danger in it, and hurriedly shouted aloud.

Ye Yushi seemed oblivious, unchanged in her aggressive stance.

The Celestial Concealment’s Innate True Qi erupted within, quickly forming a True Qi Armor around his body, solid and rock-hard.

This was a technique only Innate Martial Artists possessed.

The sword rain light points from Jade Flute Fairy might not be able to harm him.

But his lethal blow could slay Jade Flute Fairy on the spot!

He ignored the piercing sword rain light points around and with a motion, countered with a knife slash aimed at Ye Yushi’s brow!

"Senior Sister!"

Guo Heng watched this scene, his face drastically changing.

With just one misstep, Ye Yushi was on the brink of life and death!
