Chapter 400 The Young Singer's Journey 69
Xiao Yu glanced at Wuxin and was extremely grateful that this guy used to be a monk and wouldn't be like these love-struck fools who lose their minds over love.
"The rumors circulating in the martial arts world are true, and Zhao Yuzhen really can't go down the mountain, but what can he do when his beloved is on the verge of death?" Xiao Yu said leisurely.
Upon hearing this, Wuxin's heart stirred: "But with the skills of Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi, who in the martial world could possibly harm her?"
Xiao Yu gave him a meaningful look.
……
The Furious Sword Immortal looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest in purple robes before him and said in a deep voice, "Taoist Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen."
Upon hearing this, the three elders of Tang Sect and the people of Wushuang City were all startled.
Although Zhao Yuzhen never left the mountain, his legendary deeds had already spread far and wide in the martial arts world.
Examples include his possession of the century-old fortune of Qingcheng Mountain, his two encounters with the Snow Moon Sword Immortal without being at a disadvantage, and his severing of Lei Yunhe's arm with a single sword strike.
What is most praised is that twelve years ago, he single-handedly defended the foot of Qingcheng Mountain with the power of his sword, forcing the demonic army to change course and detour for a hundred miles.
They were already struggling to deal with just one Snow Moon Sword Immortal, and now with the addition of another Dao Sword Immortal, it was like adding insult to injury.
If the two great sword immortals had joined forces, they would probably have had a hard time escaping unscathed today, let alone successfully eliminating Prince Yong'an, Xiao Chuhe.
The three elders of the Tang Clan exchanged glances and retreated tacitly to the base of a large tree. They quickly took out various hidden weapons from their bodies and began to set them up silently.
Zhao Yuzhen ignored the words of the Angry Sword Immortal and instead whispered sweet nothings to Li Hanyi, even giving her a new name—Li Taohua (Peach Blossom Li).
This mushy display of affection was only possible because Xiao Yu wasn't present; otherwise, it would have likely driven Zhao Yuzhen to the brink of madness.
At this moment, Lei Wujie and the others had all fallen to the ground, severely injured. Although Xiao Se seized the opportunity and took advantage of Song Yan Hui's distraction due to Zhao Yuzhen's arrival to decisively strike and successfully injure him, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, only to be dragged aside by Sikong Qianluo with great effort.
The Furious Sword Immortal looked at Zhao Yuzhen warily, secretly calculating in his heart that if things had come to this point and he still couldn't succeed, not only would Chong'er's plan fail, but he might also face Xiao Chuhe's revenge in the future.
Rather than doing that, we might as well take this opportunity to gamble and risk eliminating Xiao Chuhe.
At this moment, Li Hanyi had already been poisoned by the three elders of the Tang Clan, and Lei Wujie and the others were no longer able to fight. The only one who could pose a threat to them was Zhao Yuzhen.
Although Zhao Yuzhen is powerful, it is impossible for her to protect everyone behind her at the same time.
If they can seize the opportunity and hold Zhao Yuzhen back for a short while, Prince Yong'an will be doomed.
Having made up his mind, the Furious Sword Immortal gave a look to the four elders of Wushuang City, signaling them to attack together.
The four elders clutched their chests, a moment of hesitation crossing their minds.
They want to restore the glory of Wushuang City, but that doesn't mean they want to die.
Most of the disciples from Wushuang City who were brought today have died or been injured. The four of them and Song Yan Hui are also seriously injured. How can they fight against Dao Jian Xian?
Insisting on this will only cause Wushuang City to suffer even greater losses.
It would be better to retreat now and at least save one's life.
However, the four of them thought about it again and realized that something was not right.
Wushuang City participated in the ambush of Prince Yong'an and Snow Moon Sword Immortal today. If this gets out, it will surely be met with retaliation from both Snow Moon City and the imperial court.
By this time, they were already on a pirate ship, and there was no turning back.
They have no way out; only by fighting with all their might can they perhaps have a glimmer of hope.
The four exchanged a glance, a resolute glint in their eyes.
The next instant, the four rushed toward Zhao Yuzhen without hesitation, with the Furious Sword Immortal following closely behind.
Zhao Yuzhen sighed softly, then settled Li Hanyi and Xiao Se together, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Little fairy, let me get rid of these annoying guys first, and then we'll talk about what to do next."
Li Hanyi whispered a reminder: "Be careful."
Zhao Yuzhen smiled faintly, turned to look at the Furious Sword Immortal and the four elders, raised the Peach Blossom Sword in her hand, and shouted softly: "Boundless Sword Formation, activate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless peach wood sword shadows suddenly appeared in the sky, like dark clouds obscuring the sun, and rushed towards the group with terrifying power.
"Well done!" the Furious Sword Immortal roared, drawing his Broken Army Sword from its sheath with a trembling tip, and shouting, "Draw your sword in a fit of rage!"
With his shout, a sharp sword light emerged like a dragon emerging from the sea, instantly slashing down and turning a large number of flying peach wood swords into dust.
However, these peach wood swords were forged by Zhao Yuzhen with sword energy. As soon as one was cut down, a new sword shadow would immediately take its place, seemingly endless.
What's even more troublesome is that whenever the Angry Sword Immortal's sword light strikes the wooden sword, the overflowing sword energy leaves fine, dense wounds all over his body, like cracks in the cold winter wind.
"Is this the power of the Dao Sword Immortal?"
The Angry Sword Immortal's eyes grew increasingly sinister, and the rage within him erupted like a volcano, making his sword energy even more fierce as he approached Zhao Yuzhen step by step.
The four elders held nothing back and launched a swift attack on Zhao Yuzhen.
Zhao Yuzhen was originally standing steadily in front of Li Hanyi and the others, but under the fierce attack of the five people, he was gradually forced away from his original position.
The three elders of the Tang Clan instantly sharpened their gazes and launched a barrage of hidden weapons they had prepared, such as the Yama's Decree, Dragon Beard Needle, Crimson Sword, Bodhisattva Blood, Chasing Wheel, Plum Blossom Dart, and countless others, directly at Zhao Yuzhen.
Zhao Yuzhen frowned and quickly waved her sleeve to block the hidden weapons. However, at the very moment of blocking, the Boundless Sword Formation slowed down slightly.
Seeing this, Nu Jianxian and the others seized the opportunity to approach without hesitation, attempting to join forces to restrain Zhao Yuzhen.
The three elders of the Tang Clan took a deep breath and took out their most powerful hidden weapon of the trip—the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles.
The Rain of Pear Blossom Needles is the most exquisite hidden weapon of the Tang Clan. Even someone who doesn't know martial arts can use it to kill a top-notch master.
Twenty-seven silver needles, along with some other hidden weapons, attacked Xiao Se, Li Hanyi, and the others like a storm in the blink of an eye, blotting out the sky and almost completely engulfing them.
"Rain of Pear Blossom Needles!" Tang Lian exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the hidden weapon at a glance.
As a disciple of the Tang Clan, he knew the terror of the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. Without hesitation, he flipped over and leaped up, trying to block these hidden weapons.
"Senior Brother, danger!" Xiao Se reacted quickly, realizing Tang Lian's intention, and used his last bit of strength to try to pull him back.
These hidden weapons were incredibly fast, beyond imagination, and since everyone was injured, they had no chance of dodging them.
