Chapter 135 – Making A Move! (1/2)
“In order to open the Barrier Ward, it requires four people standing at its four corners and utilizing the secret technique of my Origin School at the same time. However, there are only three of us here now, so we can only break through it by force. Of course, it’s very difficult to break open by force even if all four of us had joined forces earlier. But now that the Barrier Ward has experienced Dong Wushang’s self-detonation, it’s already on the verge of collapse. So long as the three of us join forces and strike a single point, then it shouldn’t be difficult to blast it into pieces!” Xu Yan spoke slowly.
Zhao Hanyue glanced at the extremely thin barrier of light, and she noticed that it was densely covered in cracks that had spread like a spiderweb on it. She immediately stopped doubting Xu Yan, and she nodded and said, “As you wis.h.!.+”
The three of them walked over to a spot at the left which was most severely affected by the explosion created by Dong Wushang, and then the profound energy within their bodies circulated.
Zhao Hanyue slowly raised her right hand into the air. In her hand was a lifelike lotus flower that was crystalline like jade. The lotus flower grew larger and larger. At a certain moment in time, Zhao Hanyue controlled the lotus flower to blast towards the extremely thin barrier of light.
Right at the instant she blasted the lotus flower towards the barrier of light, two strands of terrifying auras suddenly a.s.saulted her from both sides. Zhao Hanyue’s pupils constricted as she cried out in her heart. s.h.i.+t!
She forcefully withdrew the lotus flower that was on the verge of blasting onto the barrier, and then she smashed it down towards herself. “Since both of you don’t want to let me live, then let’s all die together. Haha….”
Xu Yan and Ghostarm’s expressions changed violently when they saw Zhao Hanyue’s actions. They’d never imagined that this woman would be so decisive. It was already too late to retreat, so they could only go head-on against it!
Bang!
An enormous bang resounded on the battlefield, and then a terrifying wave of air suddenly erupted from Zhao Hanyue. She instantly transformed into a pile of mush while Xu Yan and Ghostarm were blasted flying by the wave of air instead. At the same time, the Barrier ward that was already on the verge of shattering rumbled as it finally shattered into pieces.
Right at the instant that Xu Yan and Ghostarm were blasted flying, two streaks of light shot explosively towards them like arrows that had left the bow.
Yang Ye’s opponent was Ghostarm. Even though Ghostarm was heavily injured, Yang Ye didn’t dare hold back this time. The boost from the Gale Shoes and Gale Steps allowed his speed to be swift like a bolt of lightning, and he crossed the distance of over 60m between them in less than a few breaths of time to arrive in front of Ghostarm. After that, he drew his sword and slashed it at Ghostarm.
Ghostarm heaved a sigh of relief in his heart at the instant Zhao Hanyue perished. Even though he’d been blasted flying, the last problem had been dealt with at any rate. However, right at the moment that he came into contact with the ground, a strong feeling of danger suddenly surged into his mind.
After that, he saw a figure move swiftly like a bolt of lightning and appear before him, and then that figure stabbed his sword straight towards him.
Ghostarm was horrified because this sword strike was too swift. If it was at any other time, he would still be able to deal with it. But now, he could only go head-on against it, and the method he did this was by instinctively raising his right hand that was pale as bones to resist this attack.
When he saw Ghostarm raise his hand, Yang Ye knew that it was not an ordinary hand at all. So, Yang Ye didn’t hesitate to attach a strand of Sword Intent to his sword before slightly increasing the strength he exerted in this sword strike.
Hiss!
The sword practically didn’t encounter any obstruction and directly sliced off Ghostarm’s right hand, but no blood sprayed out from within it….
“Sword….” Ghostarm opened his eyes wide while they were filled with shock and disbelief. However, he hadn’t finished speaking when a sword had pierced through his chest.
“How could this be possible? Sword….” Ghostarm opened his mouth and muttered in a low voice. However, he hadn’t finished speaking when his head flew into the air….
Yang Ye sheathed his sword as he shook his head. He truly couldn’t figure out why many people liked to talk nonsense while in battle. Isn’t talking nonsense during battle equivalent to giving one’s opponent an opportunity to counterattack?
Yang Ye shook his head and stopped thinking about this, and then he looked towards the side. He frowned when he saw the scene of the battle between Qin Xiyue and Xu Yan.
At this moment, even though Qin Xiyue fought Xu Yan to the point he was retreating successively, but Xu Yan was still alive. Moreover, Xu Yan clearly seemed to have strength to spare.
Yang Ye didn’t hesitate at all to flash over, and he left numerous faint afterimages behind as he a.s.saulted Xu Yan.
Xu Yan who was in an intense battle with Qin Xiyue seemed to have noticed something, and his pale countenance became extremely unsightly. He struck his sword against Qin Xiyue’s whip and relied on the counterforce from this collision to retreat.
He’d just taken a few steps back when his body suddenly made a strange turn, and his sword whistled sharply through the air as it stabbed towards Yang Ye that had already arrived behind him.
This sword strike was truly swift to the limit.
A wisp of surprise flashed in Yang Ye’s eyes. This fellow before him hadn’t panicked or retreated, and he’d attacked Yang Ye instead. Moreover, the speed of Xu Yan’s sword was truly very swift, and it was swift to the point Yang Ye was utterly unable to catch sight of Xu Yan’s sword.
Yang Ye didn’t retreat, nor did he have the time to do so. Because this was clearly a full forced strike from Xu Yan!
At the exact same moment that Xu Yan’s sword stabbed towards him, Yang Ye drew his sword and stabbed it directly at Xu Yan.
