Chapter 1084 - 291: Crimson River’s Poisonous Shadow, Mandarin Duck Blades; Kunlun Heroic Spirit, Sun and Moon Heart (Part 3)

Shi Feiyang stood at the bow of the ship, the Celestial Frost Blade emitting an eerie blue glow.

Seeing the iron chain net about to cover the ferry, he took a deep breath, circulating the Bright Jade Technique to the "Supreme Forgetting Emotions Ice Soul Cold Prison" realm, and unleashed the "Heaven’s Edge" move from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique. The ice-blue saber energy cascaded like the Milky Way, twisting and deforming the iron chain net within its energy, while sparks illuminated Qu San Geng’s terrified face on the far shore. Yet, the Wokou were fearless and stepped over the bodies of their companions, rushing forward, the poison mist from their chain sickles forming ghostly faces in the night.

On the Chishui River, the sounds of cries, hisses, and weapon collisions mixed into chaos.

Blood dyed the river red, and torn flesh floated on the surface, as members of the Heroic Sakura Association formed a battle formation back-to-back, holding their ground amidst the bloody storm.

Shi Feiyang looked at his brothers fighting bravely, his heart surging with immense pride, and he shouted, "Today we shall show these foreign invaders that the Central Plains Martial Arts will not be trampled upon!"

The moment the ice-blue saber energy shredded the iron chain net, the Wokou Ninjas cried out bizarrely in unison, the poison mist from their chain sickles forming a hideous ghost face in mid-air.

Shi Feiyang leveraged a broken mast with the tip of his toes and soared into the air, suddenly seeing three dark shadows leap like arrows from the ship awning, their short blades glowing with a dark purple hue—indeed, the "Shadow Hunt Assassination" from Japanese Ninjutsu.

His pupils contracted suddenly, and he swung the Celestial Frost Blade to create nine ice lotuses, the blade wind slicing the air into fine icy marks.

"Grand Squad Leader, be careful!" Guo Xiangyu cried out in alarm, as the Snake King Qu San Geng’s flute sounded once more.

The river surface suddenly roiled like boiling water, as countless giant pythons as thick as bowls emerged from the water, spewing foul poison as their tongues flickered.

Shi Feiyang twisted his body in mid-air, Bright Jade Technique rapidly circulating, his ice-blue true qi turning into a tornado, gripping the Celestial Frost Blade, and unleashed the "Earth and Sky as One" move from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique. Seven arcs of saber energy were consecutively slashed out, turning the three ninjas into a mist of blood, while the residual saber force swept through the python group.

Where the snakes’ bodies were severed, black blood sprayed out, exploding into ink flowers on the river surface, while the surviving pythons frantically twisted, entangling several ferries until they creaked ominously.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hidden weapons piercing the air in the dark. Shi Feiyang spun sideways, three Poisoned Bone-Piercing Nails brushed past his clothes, and as they embedded into the deck, they corroded black holes instantly. His murderous intent grew stronger, and he shouted fiercely again, "Cunning fiends, dare you rampage in the Central Plains!"

The Celestial Frost Blade was raised overhead, its brilliance expanding, and the river surface was forcibly split open, forming an ice gorge dozens of feet wide.

The Wokou Leader, seeing this, drew the Japanese Saber from his waist, the evil ghost relief carving on the blade glowing with blood light, cursing fiercely, "Bastards! Iga School Ninjas, join formation!" Over twenty ninjas formed into an Eight Trigrams Array, their chain sickles’ poison mist merging, forming a giant poison web in the air.

Shi Feiyang sneered coldly, shouting to the Heroic Sakura Association disciples behind him, "Form the Five Elements Array! Crush his vile sorcery!"

Three thousand members responded in unison, their dark combat attire like a flowing galaxy in the night, and in the blink of an eye, formed into a Five Elements Array of mutual generation and overcoming.

Guo Xiangyu’s bamboo saber danced unbreakably, suddenly feeling the deck shaking beneath her feet, looking down to see countless tiny snakes slithering through the cracks in the ship.

She bit her red lips lightly, wielding the golden silk whip at her waist, and with one move "Whip Shadows in Chains," she struck the snake swarm into flying flesh and blood.

Seizing the moment, Shi Feiyang’s Bright Jade Technique transformed true qi into an ice dragon, countering the flute sound of the Snake King Qu San Geng.

Qu San Geng’s face changed drastically, as the flute sound abruptly stopped, the ice dragon freezing him entirely into an ice sculpture.

The Wokou Leader’s eyes widened with rage, swaying the blade to unleash "Iaido Slash: Ghost Cry," its saber energy distorting the air where it passed.

Shi Feiyang advanced instead of retreating, facing the Japanese Saber with the Celestial Frost Blade, freezing the enemy’s blade with cracks at the moment of contact.

"Central Plains Saber Technique, how dare you belittle it!" Shi Feiyang shouted fiercely, exerting force, the Japanese Saber breaking inch by inch, the residual saber energy striking at the Wokou Leader’s throat directly. That leader’s pupils enlarged, the disbelief on his face persisting until death, as his two-decade saber training was defeated so easily.

The last ninja desperately detonated explosives strapped to himself.

Shi Feiyang performed "Deep Concealment of Body and Name" mysterious lightness technique, enveloping Guo Xiangyu in his embrace like a giant roc spreading wings, forming a shield of ice-blue true qi to completely block the explosion’s wave. As the smoke cleared, the Chishui River was left floating with snake corpses and Wokou remains, the blood-colored water reflecting the dying moon as it recounted the brutality of this bloody battle.

At this moment, twelve Wokou Ninjas touched the flying iron debris with the tips of their feet and soared into the sky, the chain sickles drawing arcane curves in the air.

Shi Feiyang released Guo Xiangyu, twisting his waist and spinning, the Celestial Frost Blade like a spiritual snake emerging from its hole, the sparks colliding with the chain sickles congealing into ice droplets in mid-air. Suddenly sensing coldness behind his neck, he swiped a blade toward the void, slicing the hidden ninja in the mist into two parts, the warm rain of blood pouring onto the dark combat attire, instantly solidifying into ice crystals.

Guo Xiangyu’s bamboo saber wove a snow curtain, suddenly seeing three giant pythons entwining the mast, swinging their tails horizontally.

She somersaulted in mid-air, using the "Mutual Branches" move, thrusting the blade into a snake’s belly and borrowing force to spin, shredding the three-yard-long python into shreds. The hot snake blood spraying on her pale face only highlighted those apricot eyes bright as cold stars.

Qu San Geng within the ice sculpture was somehow alive, exerting full inner strength to play the flute, making the sound increasingly poignant, as the riverbed suddenly boiled. Shi Feiyang stood on a floating snake corpse, circulating Bright Jade Technique to its peak, the true qi around him forming a whirling ice cone storm.

He wielded the Celestial Frost Blade, executing the "Shattered Jade Technique!" move from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique, seventy-two ice blades fan-shaped shot out, shredding the snakes emerging from the water into paste, the black blood spraying from the severed parts freezing into bizarre ice crystal flowers.
