Eternal Saber-Chapter 322 - 46: No Distinction Between Friend and Foe

Chapter 322: Chapter 46: No Distinction Between Friend and Foe

In a life-threatening situation, there is no room for hesitation.

Chen Tang took a deep breath, his eyes widening in anger, and burst forth with a deafening roar from his mouth!

A Lion’s Roar shook the heavens and earth!

The tiles on both sides of the street quivered slightly, resonating with the thunder in the sky, intensifying the aura.

The crowd watching from a distance felt their hearts skip a beat, their ears ringing, and stars dancing before their eyes.

If they were affected like this, one could imagine the impact on Ghost Concealment, Qian Chuan, Sickle, and Hasshaku, who were close to Chen Tang!

A hint of mockery flashed in Hasshaku’s eyes.

Under the black umbrella, Qian Chuan exhaled softly, seemingly relaxed.

Sickle laughed heartily at the sky.

The three of them were completely unaffected.

Ghost Concealment was the same.

Though Ghost Concealment’s face was expressionless and her eyes as calm as dead water, showing no ripples, her movements were incredibly smooth without the slightest obstruction!

The Sound Strike Technique was not without flaws; it could be nullified.

A Sound Strike Technique like the "Lion’s Roar," which bursts forth instantly, can be completely isolated if a Martial Artist cultivates Inner Qi to seal the Ear Aperture.

Previously, Chen Tang had used "Lion’s Roar" to achieve victory, only because his opponents were unprepared.

After spending twenty days in Qianzhu City, many Hermits had already figured out his methods.

Before the four acted, they had sealed their Ear Apertures with Inner Qi in advance.

However, in battle, sealing the Ear Apertures equates to completely losing hearing, which greatly affects combat.

Now, seeing Chen Tang play this card, the four withdrew the Inner Qi from their Ear Apertures, and Hasshaku and the others felt a huge relief.

Seeing this, Chen Tang instantly guessed this possibility.

His mind remained exceptionally calm, without panic.

This situation was within his expectations.

At the moment he unleashed the Lion’s Roar, he raised his hand and tossed the Broken Saber toward Ghost Concealment’s face!

Ghost Concealment slightly tilted her head, and the Broken Saber grazed past her sallow cheek, missing by a hair’s breadth.

Dodging was too easy, completely unaffected.

What a pity.

Chen Tang sighed inwardly.

The two were too close, preventing him from truly exerting force.

With enough space, if he could use the "Elephant Throwing Form," the throw would be faster, potentially posing a greater threat to Ghost Concealment.

Of course, Chen Tang never expected to kill Ghost Concealment with just a Broken Saber.

As he threw the Broken Saber, he reached out with both hands, aiming to seize Ghost Concealment’s wrist!

Dragon Capturing Technique!

Ghost Concealment used her twin blades to cut through Chen Tang’s long saber, taking advantage of the momentum to move forward, sweeping her arms outward before swiftly closing them, her daggers thrusting fiercely towards Chen Tang’s temples!

Without the long saber and Lion’s Roar, in the eyes of the four, Chen Tang posed a much lesser threat.

However, the moment Chen Tang released the Dragon Capturing Technique, a flicker of shock passed through Ghost Concealment’s originally tranquil eyes, causing a brief pause in her hand movements.

At this moment, Chen Tang is in a Divine Illumination State.

Even if Ghost Concealment’s pause was barely noticeable and fleeting, he still caught the flaw!

Chen Tang placed his hands on Ghost Concealment’s wrists, using the move from the Dragon Capturing Technique’s Empty-handed Blade Seizing, instantly snatching away Ghost Concealment’s daggers.

Before he could react, Ghost Concealment countered with a maneuver identical to his own!

"Hmm?"

Chen Tang’s expression changed.

This was the technique of the Dragon Capturing Technique!

And it was the genuine Dragon Capturing Technique!

No matter how talented Ghost Concealment was, it was impossible for her to instantly comprehend and learn the technique’s force application in the blink of an eye after seeing him perform it once.

Someone must have taught her!

This was a startling realization.

Shen Yu practicing the Tiger Subduing Fist so adeptly had already amazed him.

Unexpectedly, on the Hermit Continent, someone knew the Dragon Capturing Technique!

Chen Tang knew the Dragon Capturing Technique’s power, and unable to adapt while holding the twin daggers, he simply let them fall, immediately shifting focus to seize Ghost Concealment’s wrist joint!

Ghost Concealment intended to catch the falling daggers, but Chen Tang’s hands wound up like a serpentine creature.

Even if she caught the daggers, with her wrists restrained, she couldn’t wield their power.

In the blink of an eye, Ghost Concealment temporarily abandoned reclaiming her weapons and engaged Chen Tang in a grappling counterattack.

This time, Chen Tang watched closely.

The techniques Ghost Concealment used were indeed the most authentic Dragon Capturing Technique!

Besides the Empty-handed Blade Seizing, the other eight moves were identical to his, all joint-locking techniques targeting the Eight Major Joints of the body!

In terms of Dragon Capturing Technique skill, they were evenly matched.

Moreover, in the Divine Illumination State, Ghost Concealment’s speed and transition in moves were on par with Chen Tang!

Not even in the Divine Illumination State could Chen Tang gain an advantage.

The two countered each other’s moves, their four arms intertwined in a struggle for balance.

But seeing Chen Tang reveal the Dragon Capturing Technique, Ghost Concealment ultimately exposed a flaw, allowing him to seize the initiative.

In the end, Chen Tang gained a half-step advantage.

Chen Tang restrained Ghost Concealment’s left shoulder, securing her entire arm.

Simultaneously, he maneuvered to her back, clamping her wrist, pressing his body against hers, and locking her legs against her knees.

In this way, Ghost Concealment couldn’t turn around.

Meanwhile, Qian Chuan, Sickle, and Hasshaku were charging from three different directions to attack!

Chen Tang’s large hand gripped Ghost Concealment’s left shoulder, his fingers digging almost into the bone to hold her in front of him.

Ghost Concealment’s left shoulder was restrained, nearly deformed from the grip, yet her face remained devoid of expression, seemingly impervious to pain!

Qian Chuan thrust his sword without reservation, intending to pierce both Ghost Concealment and Chen Tang behind her!

Simultaneously, Sickle stepped forward, brandishing a huge sickle, slashing horizontally towards Ghost Concealment and Chen Tang’s necks.

The blade cut through the rain curtain, creating a chilling wail like a death knell, terrifying to the soul!

Neither Qian Chuan nor Sickle cared about Ghost Concealment’s fate.

In fact, if they could kill Ghost Concealment in the melee, their rankings would increase!

The range of Sickle’s slash was so broad that even the charging Hasshaku was enveloped within it.

Shush!

Hasshaku leapt into the air, avoiding the blade, landing above Chen Tang, reaching for the skulls of both Chen Tang and Ghost Concealment.

As Ghost Concealment and Chen Tang tangled, the three major experts from the Dark Ranking launched simultaneous attacks!

The battlefield was chaotic, blurring lines between friend and foe.

Crack!

A chilling sound of bones breaking echoed.

Suddenly, Chen Tang felt his left hand grab at air.

In a desperate bid to escape Chen Tang’s hold, Ghost Concealment exerted force, dislocating her shoulder joint, breaking free, and spinning around with a flick of her hair!

Swish, swish, swish!

Sparkling silver needles shot out from Ghost Concealment’s hair, darting towards Qian Chuan!

Qian Chuan was shocked, hurriedly shielding himself with the black umbrella.

With this shift, his original stabbing motion couldn’t continue.

Ghost Concealment, at the cost of disabling her left shoulder, broke free from the hold, yet her right wrist remained in Chen Tang’s grasp.

The two were practically pressed against each other.

As she turned, beside flinging hidden weapons from her hair at Qian Chuan, Ghost Concealment leaned forward, her mouth slightly open, as if about to kiss Chen Tang.

Chen Tang was startled.

A flash of cold light flickered between Ghost Concealment’s lips and teeth!

Chen Tang casually tossed Ghost Concealment away like throwing a hot potato, sending her toward the airborne Hasshaku!

If he had hesitated a moment longer, Ghost Concealment’s blade hidden in her mouth would have slashed his throat!
