Eternal Saber-Chapter 323 - 47: You Fell for It

As he threw Ghost Concealment out, Chen Tang suddenly leaned back, falling towards the ground, narrowly avoiding the scythe slashing across.

Swish!

Though lying on his back, Chen Tang exerted force with both feet and elbows, quickly crawling forward like a giant gecko!

This was a variation of the "Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique," allowing one to swiftly traverse whether facing the wall or the ground, using feet and elbows as pivots.

Whoosh!

Two black gleams flashed by his side.

The two gray daggers that had just fallen to the ground seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, soaring back into Ghost Concealment’s hands.

Retrieving objects from a distance, this was one of the marvels of the "Dragon Capturing Technique."

However, such a method requires the support of inner qi.

In fact, this technique has little practical use in combat.

The power to retrieve objects remotely is limited; if the opponent holds a weapon, it’s nearly impossible to snatch it from afar, one still needs to close in and use grappling techniques to disarm them.

When Emperor Wu explained this back then, he only skimmed over it.

Now, seeing Ghost Concealment use this technique in actual combat, Chen Tang’s eyes lit up.

Hasshaku saw Ghost Concealment charging and did not halt, fingertips shimmering with a cold light. One hand reached for Ghost Concealment’s face, the other lunged at the chest, intending to kill amid the chaos!

Over the years, Ghost Concealment has always pressed him in the Dark Ranking.

Now, Ghost Concealment is injured; if he can seize this chance to kill, he will surpass and become the new Ghost Concealment!

This title is an honor in the hearts of all hermits.

Ghost Concealment’s face was expressionless, dead fish-like eyes coldly staring at Hasshaku, the left arm drooping, unable to exert force, leaving only the right arm.

Even so, the moment she regripped the Shadow Dual Daggers, she erupted with an extremely sharp and swift counterattack!

Ghost Concealment gripped the dagger single-handedly, body slightly swaying, splitting into two ghostly figures, indistinct, impossible to discern between real and false, attacking Hasshaku from different directions!

"Floating Light and Shadow!"

A wave of exclamations erupted around.

The fat old man once told Chen Tang that the world listed "Ten Great Lightweight Techniques," one of which was the Dongyi Race’s "Floating Light and Shadow."

Today, he finally witnessed it, truly living up to its name.

Sizzle!

The two Ghost Concealment shadows, holding daggers, slashed at Hasshaku’s fingertips, sparking a string of fire sparks with a piercing sound!

Hasshaku’s hands, equipped with exotic weapon claw sets, had razor-sharp hooked fingertips.

Swish, swish, swish!

The two phantom shadows missed their strike, continually moving laterally in mid-air, launching successive attacks, the blade moving outward, the sword skill astonishingly fast.

All of which were the same move, a simple single dagger upward slash.

In a flash, the phantoms multiplied, dizzying the eyes.

Hasshaku appeared apprehensive, seemingly aware of the danger, abruptly retreating, avoiding Ghost Concealment’s attack.

Hasshaku’s figure stretched out a trail of afterimages in mid-air, vanishing in an instant.

This retreat covered several yards, even crashing through a shop on the side of the street!

"Ghost Step!"

Another exclamation arose from the crowd.

In reality, Ghost Step also stems from "Floating Light and Shadow," with speed that is extremely swift between movements, and combined with special inner qi, creates a visual illusion that produces the effect of afterimages.

"Ghost Concealment is so strong, with just one arm, she can force Hasshaku into such a sorry state!"

"That move she just used didn’t seem particularly remarkable, why was Hasshaku so fearful, avoiding it with such urgency?"

"You don’t know, Ghost Concealment’s dagger upward slash move, combined with the continuous lateral movement of Floating Light and Shadow, is incredibly hard to defend against. Once struck, it leads to a series of follow-up attacks, destined for certain death!"

As they discussed, they suddenly felt a gentle breeze on their faces.

The two shadows in mid-air merged into one, vanishing into the crowd in an instant.

Ghost Concealment had forced back Hasshaku, choosing not to pursue.

Failing to assassinate Chen Tang and with the left arm injured, she didn’t continue entangling, decisively choosing to retreat swiftly and leave.

Chen Tang clicked his tongue silently.

This Ghost Concealment was truly formidable.

If not for witnessing Chen Tang use the Dragon Capturing Technique, revealing a flaw in a moment of distraction, he could not have restrained her!

Even in the Divine Illumination State, Ghost Concealment’s attacks and body technique were swift and elusive, like a ghost.

After being suppressed by Chen Tang, she adapted swiftly to the joint assault of the three top experts of the Dark Ranking.

Decisive and ruthless!

She even spared her own left arm to break free from Chen Tang’s grip, continuously countered, and managed to force back Qian Chuan, Chen Tang, and Hasshaku, retreating far away!

It’s as if her body was filled with weapons.

Hidden weapons not only concealed in her hair but even blades hidden within her tongue!

If the roles were reversed with Ghost Concealment, Chen Tang doubted he could escape unscathed.

These thoughts flashed through his mind; the crisis was far from over.

Ghost Concealment had escaped, but three top experts of the Dark Ranking remained!

In a split second, Chen Tang had already surged in front of Sickle, then suddenly rose up, fingers of the right hand curved as if gripping air, launching a Tiger Form Splitting Fist towards Sickle’s face!

He needed to quickly eliminate one person, otherwise, facing the siege of three experts, it would be challenging to escape unharmed.

Sickle, seemingly formidable and difficult to provoke, wielded a massive scythe with hugeb power.

However, in Chen Tang’s eyes, Sickle had conspicuous weaknesses.

His scythe carried immense weight, naturally unstoppable in power.

Chen Tang, barehanded, couldn’t possibly contend with such force merely with flesh and blood.

But at this moment, employing the "Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique," Chen Tang swiftly closed in on Sickle; the distance was merely an arm’s reach.

This proximity rendered Sickle unable to fully wield his scythe.

Sickle saw Chen Tang’s splitting fist flying towards him, a trace of slyness suddenly flashing in his bell-like eyes.

"You fell for it!"

Sickle roared fiercely, eyes wide open.

Each word resounded like a great bell, shattering the falling raindrops around him.

Sickle unleashed a Sound Attack Technique!

The crowd watching shuddered, expressions full of shock.

Before entering the city, Sickle had heard that Chen Tang cultivated the body, strengthening the inner viscera, and realized his opportunity had arrived.

The Horizontal Training Method indicated there was no inner qi.

This also meant Chen Tang couldn’t seal his ear apertures with inner qi.

He possessed the Sound Strike Technique; once released, it would undeniably cause tremendous impact on Chen Tang!

Using the opponent’s forte to kill them.

In Divine Land’s words, using one’s own method to deal with them.

The opening on his chest earlier was merely a flaw left intentionally, luring Chen Tang into the trap.

Everything was just as he expected!

Sure enough, Chen Tang came to him.

Chen Tang sensed something amiss the instant Sickle opened his mouth.

But he had already broken through the Mud Ball Palace, entering the Divine State.

This Sound Strike Technique, while causing significant shock to his ears and temporarily impairing his hearing, was of no great consequence.

He showed no signs of distraction or absent-mindedness.

No matter how strong the Sound Strike Technique, it couldn’t reach the Mud Ball Palace.

The Divine Soul seated in the Mud Pill controlled the body, Chen Tang maintained the momentum of his Tiger Form Splitting Fist!

"Huh?"

As Sickle unleashed the Sound Strike Technique, he immediately retraced his scythe, intending to harvest Chen Tang’s life afterward.

However, Chen Tang’s fist technique was noticeably faster!

And Chen Tang appeared completely unaffected, the splitting fist whooshed forth like a massive axe hewing through mountains and trees, terrifying in momentum, seemingly about to cleave him in twain!
