Chapter 1204: Chapter 405: Taking the Fall, First Place Contention, Playing Dirty After Losing, Frustration (Part 4)
Among the crowd, there were quite a few from Cold Resistance Level in Beishuo Town.
Even though they saw Yang Zhun indeed being passively beaten, they were unwilling to admit that the Lord had fallen into disadvantage, and even drew their weapons to threaten those who were speaking out.
Village people, when faced with town city people, naturally felt inferior, and in such situations, they dared not voice their anger, only clenching their fists and continuing to look up at the sky, inwardly wishing fervently for Yang Zhun to be defeated soon.
Compared to the ten thousand plus Cold Resistance Level in South City, the eleven Xianyang Level powerhouses of the Six Towns appeared much calmer, even Yang Fa, seeing his brother Yang Zhun indeed suppressed, had little ripple in his eyes.
"The strength of Xia Hong is indeed terrifying!"
"Nearly twenty Jun, solely in terms of strength, the title of the first in Nine Towns is truly well-deserved."
"The key is, looking at the solidness of his bone appearance shadow, he’s just in early-stage Xianyang cultivation. Once he breaks through, there would truly be no one in Nine Towns able to handle him!"
Bang......
"Brother Yang is about to get serious!"
The loud noise came, Qin Feng’s words instantly interrupted the discussions of the crowd.
The gaze of the eleven people focused intently into the air.
The best defense is an offense, this saying is understood by those who have experienced life-and-death battles, and when two sides clash, if one side remains in a defensive posture, they are bound to reveal a flaw sooner or later.
And for the people of Ice Abyss, life-and-death battles were basically the norm.
This is also why the ten thousand plus Cold Resistance Level of South City judged from the scene in the sky that Yang Zhun was at a disadvantage.
Even a well-planned strategy will eventually have a flaw!
The situation Yang Zhun faced right now fully explained these six words.
His continuous defensive stance finally revealed a flaw.
After blocking a saber strike from Xia Hong above his head, showing signs of slight fatigue from prolonged blocking, he didn’t have time to continue parrying with the spear.
How would Xia Hong let such a God-given opportunity slip by? Instead of withdrawing his saber as before, he pressed down hard with both hands, bending Yang Zhun’s body, the Dragon Sparrow Saber encircling the long spear suddenly started to pull back in an extremely slow motion.
Yes, it was a very slow pull back.
From the saber blade running across the shaft of Yang Zhun’s spear without even a single spark, one could see just how slow Xia Hong’s pull back motion was.
The pull-back motion was slow, but the force Xia Hong applied on the saber blade showed no sign of weakening.
Clang...
The moment the blade was pulled back, separating from the spear shaft, Xia Hong kicked violently with both legs in the air, the fully retracted Dragon Sparrow Saber suddenly thrust forward, heading straight for Yang Zhun’s left chest like a bolt of lightning.
Seeing the saber point stabbing towards his chest, sensing the power Xia Hong unleashed this time more terrifying than before, Yang Zhun’s pupils contracted abruptly.
Whoosh......
Xia Hong’s proficiency with weapons far exceeded normal imagination, he could even confidently say, even if Yang Zhun in front of him, who was immersed in spear techniques for years, he need not compare with him.
This is why, until now, though his displayed strength was clearly on par with Yang Zhun, he could suppress Yang Zhun the entire time in battle.
The reason lay in his deep understanding of the long spear!
From when Yang Zhun blocked the saber above his head, Xia Hong had already discerned his wrist movements beginning to deform, Yang Zhun was showing signs of fatigue.
So, at the moment he pulled the Dragon Sparrow Saber encircling the long spear, Xia Hong had already begun to accumulate power simultaneously in his hands, legs, and lower waist, the 1.5-meter blade length of the Dragon Sparrow Saber gave him ample time.
Pull back, thrust, two motions completed in one go...
"It’s the Yin Yang Reverse Blade Skill from the Martial Arts Pavilion!"
"Yin Yang Reverse Blade Skill, in its early stage only requires learning a single withdrawing saber move, prior to the Transformation Realm, it’s all about using gentle strength to fend off enemies. Fully mastered, it can suppress, defend, reduce strength; only when mastered to the Transformation Realm, one can accumulate full force in a very brief pull-back, the subsequent thrust is the essence of this blade skill, the Yin Yang Reverse Blade!"
"This blade skill, in itself, is difficult to master, coupled with the extremely monotonous practice process, hardly anyone learns it, it’s been left to gather dust in the Martial Arts Pavilion, yet the Lord has mastered it to the Transformation Realm?"
"Are you stupid? The martial arts skills in the Martial Arts Pavilion, most of them are the Lord’s own creations, does he even need to practice them?"
"Is this blade skill truly that powerful?"
"Xianyang Level powerhouses can use it to confront enemies!"
"No way, this time going back to Xia City, I have to practice it immediately."
.........
When Xia Hong pulled back the Dragon Sparrow Saber, a large group of people who regularly practiced blade skills beside the Ministry Building in the Great Xia recognized at a glance that he was using the extremely obscure Yin Yang Reverse Blade Skill from the Martial Arts Pavilion.
Unfortunately, their voices, at this moment, were destined not to create much of a ripple.
Everyone’s focus was intensely gathered on Yang Zhun.
The eleven Xianyang Level individuals, especially Shangguan Yang and Qin Feng, clearly sensed the horror of Xia Hong’s attack, both their expressions turned extremely solemn, deep within their pupils a deep caution surfaced.
Hiss......
Ultimately, Xia Hong’s Dragon Sparrow Saber pierced into Yang Zhun’s left chest.
"Basic strength of 11 Jun, Holy Pattern with a 50% amplification, with Transformation Realm Long Fist and cultivation skill Reverse Blade Technique’s 50% amplification, my basic strength directly doubled to a towering 22 Jun, what do you use to fight against me..."
As Xia Hong looked at the Dragon Sparrow Saber piercing through Yang Zhun’s left chest heart, a cold smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Unfortunately, in the next moment, that smile became completely frozen on his face.
Swoosh......
Because right in front of him, Yang Zhun, with a bang, disappeared directly.
An afterimage, what he just pierced was actually Yang Zhun’s afterimage!
