Everything happened too suddenly, and the scene was too chaotic.
Lu Qingqiu, Lou Siyi, and Sun Zhiqiao couldn't yet discern what was happening on the field, but they had already drawn their swords and slashed at the Evil Seed, hoping to rescue their two companions first.
However, what the three hadn't expected was that someone else was hidden in the night.
The moment they drew their swords, a Sword Cultivator unleashed a horizontal strike, and with thunderous force, a chilling blade thrust towards Lu Qingqiu's throat.
This sudden Sword Cultivator was not of a higher Realm than Lu Qingqiu, but he had the advantage of appearing completely unexpectedly.
At that moment, the Young Miss of Yunzhou truly felt death approaching.
In this moment of life and death, Lu Qingqiu felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, was violently pulled away, and her wide eyes saw Ji You flash over, taking her place.
Afterward, a punch, like wind and thunder, struck the Sword Cultivator's chest, also possessing the might of an Iron Fist.
The Sword Cultivator immediately countered with his sword, but found that the opponent seemed to have anticipated it, instantly changing his angle. The Fist Intent was now fully unleashed, cutting through the wind and smashing the wrist of his sword-wielding hand.
“A feint… a feint?”
“How did he know how I would counter with my sword?”
Before the Sword Cultivator could recover, the Mountain-Shaking Fist, stripped of its immense force, pierced through his heart, sending him flying backward, blood spilling from his mouth.
Ji You retreated to his original position with Lou Siyi and Sun Qiaozhi, his blood and Qi surging, constantly clashing within his Physical Body.
He had previously discussed with Wang Instructor how to deal with multiple opponents.
The best solution was a surprise attack, first eliminating one or two of the opponent's combatants to tip the scales of the battlefield.
Although that Sword Cultivator's Realm was not high, he had clearly killed countless people and was well-versed in this Dao.
After he jumped out, the target of his longsword was not the three of them, but one of them, intending to take a life first.
Ji You then used Lu Qingqiu's position as cover, launching a surprise attack just like him, forcing the opponent to counter with his sword in defense.
As for how he knew the angle of the counter-attack and precisely broke his wrist with his Fist Intent, that was thanks to countless sparring sessions with Wang Instructor.
Otherwise, Wang Instructor wouldn't have been as tired as an old dog, not even wanting an ounce of silver.
This was an Iron Fist worth an ounce of silver!
At this moment, Lu Qingqiu, Lou Siyi, and Sun Qiaozhi sat on the ground, looking at the man before them, covered in Spiritual Qi and with a rainbow-like Fist Intent, and couldn't help but be astonished.
Because just moments before, they had been saying that Martial Skill was ultimately a minor Dao.
And on the city wall, in the empty street, many Cultivators from outside the Sects had already gathered.
They were originally attracted by the previous thunder and lightning, but now their eyes widened because of that single punch that defeated the enemy.
“How such a fast reaction speed? And he even judged the opponent's sword counter-attack?”
“It's Dual Cultivation of Martial and Dao…”
The female Cultivator from Lingjian Mountain was named Bai Xi, and she herself was a Sword Cultivator.
Hearing a Chen Clan Disciple's puzzled question, she replied in a deep voice.
However, most of the Cultivators gathered here from outside the Sects were Lower Three Realms Cultivators; after all, those in the Upper Five Realms were diligently cultivating the Dao and wouldn't be strolling the streets every day.
Seeing Integration Dao Realm experts, even if they had good intentions, they dared not offer assistance.
Ji You paid no heed to anything else, raising his eyes to assess the situation.
The Integration Dao Realm expert's attacks were ruthless, his punches and kicks like a Dragon and Tiger, but this was not the most fatal point.
Ban Yangshu and Ji Qirui had, after all, also entered the Upper Five Realms. They could observe the wind and move, their dodging speed was not slow, but what was fatal was the lightning techniques constantly interspersed between his punches and kicks, which had explosive speed and damage.
If the opponent hadn't deliberately hidden some techniques that could reveal his identity, using only lightning techniques, the two of them might not have lasted until now.
But even so, after several clashes, both of them were already covered in injuries.
On the other side, the thing called “Evil Seed” did not escape, but looked at him with blood-red eyes, filled with killing intent.
Ji You recalled for a moment, and from the posture of its grabbing attack, he realized that its primary target was not Lu Qingqiu, but himself, who was standing next to her.
“Everyone, lend me a sword.”
“Use mine!”
The three girls who had just escaped the battlefield immediately stood up and offered their longswords.
Because their angles were the same, their sword hilts collided, causing the three of them to blush.
But what they didn't expect was that Ji You didn't choose, but with a wave of his large hand, the three longswords clanged, and all simultaneously unsheathed.
Lu Qingqiu's High Grade Spiritual Sword fell into his hand, while the other two were held aloft by Spiritual Qi, suspended three feet above his head, trembling with a clear sword hum, like a Phoenix's cry.
Seeing this scene, there were bursts of inexplicable exclamations from the street, and even Bai Xi from Lingjian Mountain was full of confusion.
Even though she was a Sword Cultivator, she had never seen swords used in such a way.
The next moment, the white-robed bandit holding the sword rushed out like a phantom, his feet causing Qi explosions like thunder, shattering the stone bricks beneath him, and instantly charging towards the Evil Seed.
Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao had their necks gripped, their faces pale with fear, thinking they were about to die, but the next moment they were pushed to the ground.
Looking up again, they saw sword light swirling before them, like surging waves.
Clang!
Ji You infused the longsword with Spiritual Qi, slashing, stabbing, and parrying, while the Evil Seed pressed its claws together, emitting a metallic clang and sparks.
Then, amidst the swirling Evil Qi, a black hand came through the wind, parried by Ji You's sword, then Spiritual Qi roared beneath his feet, and as his Physical Body spun violently, the sword formed a circle.
He didn't know what an Evil Seed was, but he could feel that it was very strong, even stronger than himself, who trained in Martial Skill all day.
Great strength and fast speed, so the two fought more and more wildly.
Ji You infused the longsword with immense Spiritual Qi, slashing horizontally, gradually breaking free from the sword stances ingrained in his mind. The sword moved with his heart, naturally parrying, deflecting, intercepting, slashing, and wiping.
“His Sword Intent is improving!”
“What a surging Sword Intent…”
“How can this person be a Tianshu Academy Disciple? He should enter my Lingjian Mountain! When the five-year term is up, I am willing to petition the Sect to invite him to Lingjian Mountain!”
“Uh… he seems to be Ji You.”
“Ji You?”
“The one who stepped on Chu River's head and read the Heavenly Book a while ago, yes, it must be him, he's the only one who practices Dual Cultivation of Martial and Dao…”
As discussions continued in the night, a harsh scraping sound suddenly came from the field. Everyone looked up, greatly astonished.
The Evil Seed extended its long nails, and amidst the wildly swirling sword light, it firmly locked onto Ji You's sword, which was rushing like surging waves.
This is bad!
With the sword locked, it meant he could only resist with his Physical Body, but with the Evil Seed's Physical Body strength, Ji You would definitely not have the advantage.
“Indestructible Vajra?”
“Is it only his arm?”
Ji You suddenly reached out and plucked the second sword from three feet above his head, wielding it with Spiritual Qi, and slashed it horizontally towards its shoulder!
The Evil Seed shrieked, its eyes bursting with fear, and immediately leaped back to escape, while the sword it had locked onto directly slashed horizontally towards its head!
At this moment, the white-robed bandit, imbued with Spiritual Qi, floated over, his Iron Fist striking directly at its heart.
Bai Xi, standing on the street, suddenly widened her eyes, looking around, and found that everyone else was also dumbfounded.
So, that's how the sword three feet above the head was used! When it moved suddenly, faster than lightning, it was a deadly sneak attack!
But what about the third sword?
