Chapter 89: Wu Gou Twin Moons and the Old Man
Chapter 89: Wu Gou Double Moon Tian Can Sou
Inside Vairocana Hall, there was a mess.
Tian Can Sou was forced back by the golden light and said indifferently, "The general trend is irreversible, Great Master, why are you so stubborn?"
What is the general trend? The general trend is like an overwhelming flood rolling in.
"In this world, there are only two things that make people sigh: one is mistaken stubbornness, and the other is easily giving up."
Fa Zhi said in a deep voice, "Since this humble monk is the abbot of Faxi Temple, I will naturally not let this Seal be easily broken, causing the common people to suffer. Even if it is mistaken stubbornness, this humble monk will do it today."
"Foolish!"
Tian Can Sou's face completely darkened, and the Internal Energy in his body surged like a rushing river through his meridians, followed by two dazzling flowers appearing behind him.
Human Flower and Earth Flower Realm!
Tian Can Sou had pushed his Cultivation to the extreme, intending to defeat Fa Zhi in the shortest time possible and, with the help of tonight's full moon, completely destroy the Seal beneath the Buddha statue and then take the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Tian Can Sou's body trembled, and he stomped down towards Fa Zhi with a foot as heavy as Mount Tai.
Fa Zhi clasped his hands in front of his chest, and a golden light appeared on his body.
"Boom!"
With the collision, it was as if mountains had crashed, and the entire hall shook. Then, cracks appeared in the bluestone slabs beneath Fa Zhi's feet, which then completely shattered.
Tian Can Sou's father was a bodyguard, often living by licking blood from the Jianghu blade, accustomed to life and death, which made his temperament volatile and easily angered.
When Zhang Zhixing was born, he had no hands, only a pair of feet. Others were terrified by his congenital disability. His father thought it was a Family curse and hated him intensely, even wanting to strangle him. Fortunately, his mother intervened, allowing him to live.
Although he wasn't strangled by his father, Zhang Zhixing's childhood was full of neglect and humiliation. With his mother's comfort and help, Zhang Zhixing did not become dispirited. He diligently Cultivated his leg techniques for decades, regardless of severe cold or scorching heat.
Relying on his extraordinary willpower, he successfully joined the Five Venoms Sect, one of the Seven Great Sects, and learned the Five Venoms Sect's Heavenly Centipede Art. He Cultivated the leg techniques of the Heavenly Centipede Art to the extreme, establishing a formidable reputation in the Jianghu and earning the title 'Wu Gou Double Moon'.
This referred to his pair of legs, which were like a pair of Wu Gou, with Moves that were诡谲 and varied, making them impossible to guard against.
In the hall, the two figures flickered, and in just a moment, they had exchanged dozens of Moves.
Tian Can Sou's pair of Wu Gou-like legs attacked like a fierce, continuous tide, but Fa Zhi managed to block all of them.
"As expected of a Pure Land Arhat!"
Seeing this, Tian Can Sou frowned.
The Pure Land is known as the Three Thousand Buddha Kingdoms, with countless experts, but only eighteen people can be called Arhats. These eighteen all meet two major conditions: first, profound Cultivation, and second, profound Buddhist Dharma.
It was clearly impossible for him to defeat him in a short time.
"Not good!"
Just then, sounds of fighting came from outside the hall. Tian Can Sou's heart stirred, fearing that Dai Ling was in danger. After kicking Fa Zhi back, he rushed out of the hall.
Outside Vairocana Hall.
Dai Ling stared intently at the Swordsman in front of her, her heart pounding continuously.
She was extremely nervous at this moment.
An Jing did not answer her words. The long sword in his hand spun out a Sword Flower, and the sharp sword body gleamed with cold light, radiating intense Killing Intent.
"Whoosh!"
A cold light shot out from the blade, suddenly rushing towards Dai Ling's graceful waist.
Fast!
Too fast!
That Sword Qi was like a whistling gust of wind.
Dai Ling saw it clearly, but she couldn't react at all. She stood frozen in place, her mind a blank.
And at this critical moment, a burst of Qi rushed from a distance, blocking that Sword Qi.
An Jing missed his strike and quickly retreated backward.
"Your Excellency has a fast sword."
Tian Can Sou landed in front of Dai Ling and said slowly.
"Old fellow, your movements aren't slow either."
An Jing's voice was hoarse, produced by vibrating his diaphragm with Internal Energy.
It was a bit of a pity. If this old fellow hadn't come, that Miss Dai would have perished just now.
"Are you alright?"
Tian Can Sou asked in a low voice.
"Fortunately, Grand Elder arrived in time." Dai Ling only now recovered, thinking of the surging Sword Qi, she couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
She knew that if Tian Can Sou hadn't appeared just now to block a Sword Qi, she might have been cut in half by that Sword Qi.
This Peerless Swordsman seemed calm all around, but his Killing Intent was extremely strong.
Many Swordsmen in the Jianghu are like this: they must kill with every strike. A sword only becomes sharper when it is bathed in blood, and the Dao of the sword can only advance without hesitation.
To put it in layman's terms, if you kill habitually, your sword becomes sharp.
Therefore, An Jing's movements never slowed down or hesitated when killing.
Where the sword tip pointed, it was either a living person or a dead person.
"It seems you also came today for that wisp of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi." Tian Can Sou's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke.
"Is Your Excellency not?"
An Jing secretly pondered. Tian Can Sou's strength was unfathomable, and he might not be able to win. Moreover, he didn't know if there were others nearby.
"Then I can only kill you first, and then take the Spiritual Qi."
A hint of Killing Intent flashed in Tian Can Sou's sinister eyes.
What is Jianghu?
Jianghu is both human relations and constant fighting.
If human relations cannot be used, then it's fighting. If fighting is useless, then it's human relations.
"Liu Qingshan couldn't kill me, do you think you can?" An Jing couldn't help but burst out laughing upon hearing Tian Can Sou's words.
"The person Liu Qingshan couldn't kill, I, Zhang Zhixing, can kill."
Tian Can Sou roared, sweeping out a kick. Leg shadows flickered, and the angle was incredibly strange.
An Jing turned his body to avoid this kick, but who knew this kick was only a probing Move. Tian Can Sou pressed down again, as if carrying thousands of pounds of force, and the sound of air being torn filled his ears, whistling loudly.
"Boom!"
An Jing could only cross his arms to meet this kick.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Immediately, centered on the two of them, the Qi exploded, creating booming sounds.
An Jing, in the center, felt his internal organs tremble, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Tian Can Sou's strength, like Liu Qingshan's, was at the Earth Flower Realm.
Sword light danced, leg shadows were peerless.
The two exchanged dozens of Moves continuously. Tian Can Sou's offensive was like a tide, relentless, giving An Jing no chance to breathe.
"Senior Brother, what should we do now?"
Fa Wu asked.
"Let's wait and see for now."
Fa Zhi was silent for a moment, then looked at the flying eaves of the Mahavira Hall in the distance.
At this time, several figures were already standing on the flying eaves of the Mahavira Hall. Because they had their backs to the moonlight, their faces were unclear.
"I didn't expect this Swordsman to appear again."
Liu Qingshan chuckled as he watched the fierce battle between the two below.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi beneath the Seal was not publicly known. Only a few people and a few forces knew about it. The fact that this Swordsman knew meant he was not a simple lone traveler.
Guo Yuchun's Killing Intent was almost impossible to conceal. "It's not too late for us to make our Move after these two have fought enough."
"This Swordsman cannot be killed easily. We must entertain him well."
Guo Yuchun, known as the 'Poisonous Scholar', had ruthless methods that even Cao Gang experts greatly feared.
He had rarely suffered losses in his life, and the Peerless Swordsman before him was undoubtedly one of the few who had caused him trouble. If this Swordsman were captured, how could he let it go easily?
Liu Qingshan remained silent, as if watching the two battle, and also as if watching the Seal in Vairocana Hall.
Guo Yuchun then looked at Dai Ling, who was watching the battle not far away, and sneered, "When we capture Dai Ling, and the raw rice is cooked, wouldn't it be delightful to send Five Venoms Lord a grandson next year?"
Dai Danshu was also a well-known figure in the Jianghu. In his youth, he was a rare young talent in the Great Yan Jianghu. It is said that the current Human Emperor had even tried to recruit him, promising him the position of Deputy Commander of the Black Robe Guard, but he refused.
Moreover, Dai Ling was also extremely beautiful, and coupled with her cold temperament, it made people even more desirous of conquering her.
Tian Liu had not spoken from beginning to end, standing beside Liu Qingshan like a shadow.
"Who do you think these two, cough, these two will win?"
Liu Qingshan felt a pain in his chest and coughed continuously.
"Both will be injured." Guo Yuchun was silent for a moment.
Although it now seemed that the Peerless Swordsman's Cultivation was slightly weaker than Tian Can Sou's, he vaguely remembered the Swordsman's extremely exquisite swordsmanship at Reincarnation Hall that day, as well as the leaked Grandmaster's might, which still made him wary.
Whether it was the Peerless Swordsman or Tian Can Sou, both were first-rate experts. Killing either one would be extremely difficult, because in a battle between experts, unless one's strength greatly surpassed the other, there was always a chance to escape.
