Chapter 181: 181
Even Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao instinctively avoided the sharp edge of the heaven reliant sword.
Among those present, only Chu Yang advanced instead of retreating, striking with a single palm like a thunderclap, causing ripples to shake the void and directly shattering the sword light.
"What ferocious palm strength!"
The usually invincible heaven reliant sword finally suffered a setback. Extinction felt the terrifying aura emanating from Chu Yang, and a chill ran down her spine.
"Those famous disciples who usually pride themselves on their literary talent and refined demeanor, which one of them doesn't wield a sword? Yet, Mr. Chu, who is clearly a scholar, possesses such formidable external martial arts. How interesting..."
Wei Yixiao whispered into Yang Xiao's ear, and the Five Wanderers behind them nodded in agreement, a knowing smile on their faces.
Knowing there was no retreat, Song Yuanqiao and the others, after Extinction made her move, immediately formed the Zhenwu Seven-Intercept Array, orderly surrounding Chu Yang.
Chu Yang smiled faintly, his Rinnegan quietly appearing.
The Seven Wounds Fist of the Kongtong Five Elders, He Taichong's Kunlun Sect swordplay, and Xian Yutong's Huashan Sect swordplay all failed to impress Chu Yang.
However, the Nine Yang Skill, which Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang each obtained a part of, was quite good.
Combining the Wudang Nine Yang Skill and Emei Nine Yang Skill might not complete the entire Nine Yang Skill, but at least most of it would be present.
If he were to then use the martial arts principles from the Nine Yin Manual for deduction, he might be able to complete the missing parts.
If that truly didn't work, he could wait until that kid Zhang Wuji showed up and then grab him for a beating.
"The Wudang Sect's Zhenwu Seven-Intercept Array truly lives up to its reputation; Mr. Chu was actually trapped by them..."
Zhou Dian watched Chu Yang, who was maneuvering within the array, with unblinking eyes, full of admiration.
"Zhang Sanfeng truly possesses the demeanor of a celestial being to be able to create such a peerless array as the Zhenwu Seven-Intercept Array!"
Yang Xiao genuinely felt impressed.
"Stop praising him. That old nun and old monk are about to team up to bully Mr. Chu. Are we going to act or not?"
Wei Yixiao was pacing anxiously.
"I say, you old bat, your mind is truly unclear. Didn't you see Mr. Chu's attitude just now?"
"Does he need your help? Just watch quietly from the side; don't provoke Mr. Chu."
"Cloth Bag Monk" Shuobude and "Monk Peng" Peng Yingyu simultaneously mocked Wei Yixiao.
After Chu Yang was trapped in the Zhenwu Seven-Intercept Array, Kongwen and Extinction both joined the battle, providing support for Song Yuanqiao and the others.
Chu Yang was having a great time.
The Shaolin Sect that Kongwen belonged to had obtained eleven of the seventy-two ultimate techniques of the orthodox Shaolin Temple, which were worth Chu Yang's observation.
The Northern Song, Southern Song, and Great Ming dynasties all had Shaolin Temples, with the Northern Song Shaolin Temple being the orthodox one, while the Shaolin Sect of the Great Ming was more like a branch temple.
They appeared to be connected by kinship but competed secretly.
Everyone wanted to become the "Orthodox of the World."
During the siege of Chu Yang, Yin Liting of the Wudang Six Heroes kept his eyes fixed on Yang Xiao.
His fiancée, Ji Xiaofu, had been abducted by this devil, and there had been no news of her for many years.
For a moment, all the past events resurfaced before his eyes, and Yin Liting once again fell into a state of frenzy, breaking away from the Zhenwu Seven-Intercept Array and attacking Yang Xiao, who was watching from the side, with his sword.
"Demon! Give me your dog life!"
"Sixth Brother, don't be reckless! Return to the array quickly!"
"Liting! Calm down!"
The other five were caught off guard by Yin Liting's unauthorized departure from the battle, and they were immediately shocked and angry.
The Zhenwu Seven-Intercept Array had already been greatly weakened by the absence of Zhang Cuishan, and now with Yin Liting gone, it was even more incomplete, its power reduced by another third.
Song Yuanqiao was burning with anxiety, constantly calling for Yin Liting to return to the array, but the latter refused to listen and began fighting with Yang Xiao.
Yin Liting's swordsmanship was good, but without the enhancement of the Zhenwu Seven-Intercept Array, he was no match for Yang Xiao. The latter used the first level of Qiankun Great Shift to pin him in place.
Neither killing nor releasing him.
It wasn't that Yang Xiao was intentionally humiliating Yin Liting; rather, Yang Xiao was afraid that his unauthorized intervention would offend Chu Yang.
"You dog villain! Today, I will definitely avenge Xiaofu!"
Yin Liting was like a madman, his swordplay completely without form, just a chaotic hacking.
"Wudang Sect's Yin Liting..."
A flicker of understanding passed through Yang Xiao's eyes.
He finally remembered the identity of the man before him, and a hint of guilt welled up in his heart.
It was for both Ji Xiaofu and Yin Liting.
Yang Xiao was uninhibited in his actions, but only in this matter did he feel that he had harmed these two people.
If Ji Xiaofu hadn't met him back then, she would probably have already married Yin Liting and lived a comfortable life, instead of dying young.
As these distracting thoughts arose, Yang Xiao's movements slowed, and Yin Liting, whose eyes were red with rage, seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the vital spot of his heart.
Yang Xiao, in pain, instinctively grabbed the blade, forcefully broke it, and then kicked Yin Liting away.
"Father!"
Yang Buhui rushed to Yang Xiao's side, anxiously checking his injuries.
Yin Liting, who had fallen to the ground, looked up, his ferocious expression suddenly freezing, because he saw a face remarkably similar to Ji Xiaofu's.
He was instantly entranced.
In just this short amount of time, Chu Yang had memorized the cultivation routes of both the Wudang Nine Yang Skill and the Emei Nine Yang Skill.
He had also learned a finger technique and a grappling technique from Kongwen.
Due to their concern for Yin Liting, the Zhenwu Seven-Intercept Array, managed by Song Yuanqiao and the others, gradually became chaotic. Seeing this, Chu Yang no longer bothered to act and broke through the array.
Chu Yang covered his hands with Armament Haki, grabbed the longswords of Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou, broke them, and then flung them at Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu, who were behind the two.
Whoosh, whoosh.
The broken swords directly pierced their right shoulders.
Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu, whose muscles and bones were injured, immediately lost their grip on their swords, groaned in pain, and retreated.
Yu Daiyan, who had already circled behind Chu Yang, thrust his sword towards Chu Yang's back, but before it could penetrate, he felt it blocked by an invisible surge of energy.
Shinra Tensei.
The terrifying repulsive force unleashed a wave of air, sending Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, and Yu Daiyan, who were near Chu Yang, flying.
The three spat out blood in mid-air, their meridians damaged.
After breaking the array, Chu Yang strode towards Extinction and Kongwen.
With every step, the ground trembled slightly.
He moved with the gait of a dragon and the stride of a tiger, possessing the momentum of Mount Tai pressing down.
Extinction's eyelids twitched, and she gritted her teeth, swinging the heaven reliant sword, but every sword qi was forcefully shattered by Chu Yang's fists.
Unreasonably brutal!
Having roamed the martial world for decades, she had never encountered such a freak!
Extinction felt a desire to retreat, but so many Emei Sect disciples were still lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Amitabha, today it is destined for this old monk to face this calamity."
Thinking of how Chu Yang had repeatedly allowed him to leave, Kongwen's intestines were practically green with regret.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between Chu Yang and Extinction was only a few steps. Extinction circulated her last bit of internal energy and launched a full-power strike.
The heaven reliant sword had just thrust out when it was seized by Chu Yang.
The true qi vibrated violently.
Crack.
Cracks appeared on the heaven reliant sword.
"No!"
If the sect's divine weapon were destroyed, Extinction would become the Emei Sect's eternal sinner. She frantically tried to pull the heaven reliant sword back.
The heaven reliant sword remained motionless in Chu Yang's grip, and the cracks spread slowly like a spiderweb.
Kongwen made his move, striking Chu Yang with the Weituo Palm, intending to help Extinction retrieve the heaven reliant sword.
However, Chu Yang used the Maha Finger, which he had learned from Kongwen, to directly sever the meridians in Kongwen's right arm, crippling it.
"Maha Finger? How do you know my Shaolin ultimate technique?"
Kongwen clutched his crippled arm in pain, retreating in shock.
Seeing this, Extinction was thrown into disarray. Chu Yang seized the opportunity to crush the heaven reliant sword and strike Extinction's right shoulder with a palm.
The terrifying palm force shattered all the bones in her entire arm!
Like Kongwen, Extinction was crippled with one arm gone.
If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't bullied Li Mochou and Little Dragon Girl, Chu Yang would have killed them long ago; there would have been no need for such elaborate measures.
"You two are finally quiet. I won't make things difficult for you. When your disciples wake up, take them and leave."
Kongwen lowered his head, as if relieved. Regardless, his disciples finally had a chance at survival.
Extinction stared blankly at the fragments of the heaven reliant sword. With the sword shattered, her Dao heart shattered along with it.
Chu Yang turned and left, Li Mochou following behind him, holding Little Dragon Girl.
"Oh, right, please deliver a message to Zhang Zhenren of Wudang Mountain: please ask him to personally come to Guangming Peak to pick up his unworthy descendants."
Extinction was greatly startled!
This person, not content with defeating them, actually wanted to challenge Zhang Sanfeng?!
"Young man, don't think that just because you defeated us, you are invincible. Zhang Zhenren is not like us ordinary mortals; he is worlds apart from us common martial artists. If you intend to provoke him, your outcome may not be good."
Chu Yang sneered, "Old nun, you should first consider what would happen to all those delicate and beautiful young girls in the Emei Sect if you weren't there to protect them?"
Extinction immediately shut her mouth obediently, no longer speaking.
