Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 868 - 842: A Stunning Sword
Chapter 868: Chapter 842: A Stunning Sword
The team of twenty to thirty men from Qi Wang Cave came charging in angrily. The Xiao family was already prepared, and Tangyu and his group had been waiting outside the manor, anticipating their arrival.
Tangyu’s group consisted of nine people, along with eleven members from the Xiao family, making their side also numbering around twenty. In terms of numbers, they were almost evenly matched with the Qi Wang Cave’s side. Of course, this was mainly because the Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave only brought some elites this time; if they were to truly compare numbers, Qi Wang Cave certainly had more than this.
It’s important to note that the Jingshan Sixteen Caves were famous for their sheer numbers and power. Apart from Myriad Saints Valley, no other force could compare to the Jingshan Sixteen Caves. The Jingshan Sixteen Caves were also a Holy Land force.
The Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave saw Tangyu and his group, and sneered sinisterly, his eyes brimming with killing intent: "Old Xiao, you still have some skills left, to be able to gather so many people to help you. But—do you think this can stop me? Do you think this can save you from death? Hmph, since we are here today, I’ll ensure you all remain here. What Qi Wang Cave intends to do, no one can stop. Do you think that inviting a few Myriad Saints Valley disciples guarantees safety?"
Tangyu observed the Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave—a man in his forties, full of arrogance. At this moment, he carried himself like a ruling king with great confidence.
Old Master Xiao’s face was cold and indignant as he yelled, "Hmph, Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave, aren’t you afraid of retribution for bullying others? Now that you’ve allied with the Dark World and become their lackey, do you think you can act recklessly? Since ancient times, evil cannot prevail over good. Your Jingshan Sixteen Caves will not have a good end. Even a Holy Land can be destroyed. I advise you to cease your malevolent actions before it’s too late."
The Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave swept his gaze over Old Master Xiao like a sharp blade, sneering: "Since ancient times, those who understand the times are the true heroes. Do you think the Ancient Martial World can continue as it is? The heavens are changing, and the earth will see new rule. Since ancient times, the weak are prey to the strong, and the strong are revered. How can an old fool like you understand this? I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you. Release my men and I’ll give you a quick death. If not, none of you will leave here alive today, and this mountain will be drenched in blood."
"Hmph!" Tangyu snorted coldly, "Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave, such arrogance, completely disregarding Myriad Saints Valley. Such wanton actions, you truly court death."
The Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave looked at Tangyu with disdain and sneered, "Just a little brat daring to speak wildly, truly courting death."
Xie Lei, with a cold smile, said, "Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave, I think it’s you who’s courting death. You still haven’t figured out the situation and only a brute. Do you really want to fight us with such a large entourage?"
"And who might you be?" the Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave asked.
Xie Lei replied, "Xie Lei of Myriad Saints Valley, probably not in your eyes, Cave Master."
"Hmm?" The Cave Master’s eyebrows furrowed. Naturally, he had heard of Xie Lei from Myriad Saints Valley, the Deputy Hall Master of the Shocking King Hall, not lacking in strength. He had thought it was just some ordinary disciples from Myriad Saints Valley, but it turned out a big fish appeared. This made the Cave Master somewhat puzzled. By rights, the Xiao family shouldn’t have the face to invite such a high-level expert from Myriad Saints Valley.
Myriad Saints Valley is currently too preoccupied with its own crises to worry about the Xiao family’s affairs, right?
But of course, this matter wouldn’t make him back down: "Deputy Hall Master Xie Lei of Shocking King Hall, I’ve heard of your name. Young as you are, you have such cultivation, quite impressive. However, it’s unfortunate that you have met me. I do not wish to clash with Shocking King Hall, so leave quickly. This matter is not something you can interfere with. Ignore my warning at your peril."
Xie Lei laughed instead of getting angry, "Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave, your arrogance is overwhelming. Do you think I, Xie Lei, am easily frightened? Do you think I don’t know your strength? You dare say such things with a straight face."
The Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave’s expression turned ugly, his eyes cold, "Ignorant youngster."
Tangyu grabbed Liang Youshan abruptly, "Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave, I’m done talking with you. I can release the person, but you must retreat immediately. You are not allowed to target the Xiao family again, nor are you allowed to seize the Ancient Temple in Miyun Town. Some things are beyond the reach of a small Qi Wang Cave like yours. Otherwise, let’s see how capable you are."
"Courting death!" The Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave flew into a rage. How dare a young brat speak to him this way, threatening him, trampling on his dignity, and completely disregarding him.
As a Cave Master, his strength was at the Eighth Layer of the Earthly Realm, a highly esteemed position. If Xie Lei spoke to him as an equal, he wouldn’t mind. But this young brat daring to be so arrogant, of course, was unbearable for him.
With a shout, the Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave lunged towards Tangyu like a venomous snake, his hand clawing as if to crush Tangyu’s head like a rotten watermelon.
This move was exceedingly vicious, his five fingers turned into sharp claws, resembling the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. The claw strike was terrifying. An Eighth Layer Earthly Realm expert’s powerful strike was naturally extraordinary.
Xie Lei let out a cold snort, stepped forward swiftly, and punched at the Cave Master’s claw.
The Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave sneered coldly, catching Xie Lei’s fist with his claw, his fingers inching into Xie Lei’s flesh. However, Xie Lei suddenly burst with a surge of spiritual power, like a mountain breaking and a tsunami erupting, directly shaking off the Cave Master’s grip.
Swish swish swish!!!
The Cave Master of Qi Wang Cave attacked repeatedly, moving with such speed it was dazzling to the eyes, impossible to follow with the naked eye.
Both men were Eighth Layer Earthly Realm experts, and their battle was spectacular, making onlookers’ hearts pound and shaking the earth with its intensity.
Tangyu watched the battlefield intently. The Cave Master’s strength was indeed formidable, especially his combat experience and methods, which were exceedingly ruthless.
Although Xie Lei’s strength was also formidable, at this moment, he couldn’t suppress the Cave Master. Their strengths were nearly matched, and the fight was a stalemate, difficult to determine a victor.
Tangyu’s eyes suddenly twitched, and he immediately thought something was wrong. He quickly shouted to Xie Lei, "Watch out—"
But it was too late, Qi Wang Cave Master’s hand suddenly waved, and a burst of white powder spread out. Xie Lei’s expression changed, and he quickly dodged backwards. However, this movement gave Qi Wang Cave Master a chance. He clawed at Xie Lei’s chest and tore at it forcefully, ripping Xie Lei’s clothes and leaving five deep claw marks on his chest, with blood staining the area.
Although the white powder had some toxicity, it was still difficult to threaten someone at the Eighth Layer of the Earthly Realm. It only caused a momentary distraction, revealing a flaw in Xie Lei’s defense.
"Despicable!" Xie Lei grit his teeth.
Qi Wang Cave Master seized the opportunity to attack again, his assault becoming even fiercer. At this point, Xie Lei was already injured, making the situation quite grim.
The members of the Xiao family also looked worried. If Xie Lei couldn’t win, today’s situation would be hard to control. They had placed all their hopes on Xie Lei.
On Qi Wang Cave Master’s side, everyone was cheering enthusiastically.
Tangyu finally made his move, thrusting his sword directly towards Qi Wang Cave Master. This sword move was not the Yin Yang Swordsmanship, but the Langya Sword Art Tangyu had comprehended in Skies Beyond the Skies. This was the first time Tangyu used it, and although he wasn’t sure of its power, he had some confidence.
After all, Tangyu was only at the Seventh Level of the Earthly Realm. He wasn’t confident that using just the Yang Yin Sword Technique would be enough to deal with Qi Wang Cave Master. So, he could only use the Langya Sword Art.
So far, Tangyu had only comprehended this one move.
With a single sword strike, it was astonishing.
With a single sword strike, it was as fast as lightning.
Everyone barely registered a flash before Tangyu’s sword had already reached right in front of Qi Wang Cave Master. This scene left everyone astonished.
"What—" Qi Wang Cave Master was also shocked, his face becoming serious. He no longer had the leisure to deal with Xie Lei and only retreated continuously, not daring to face the sword directly. He inexplicably felt that the power of this sword was frighteningly immense, impossible to withstand directly. So, he chose to retreat.
But as he tried to retreat, he found the sword was already upon him.
This terrifying sword even made Qi Wang Cave Master’s hair stand on end; his eyes narrowed into slits. He gritted his teeth and desperately struck out, his energy surging as he tried to repel Tangyu.
Slash—
The sound of the sword piercing flesh was crisp. Although Qi Wang Cave Master tried his best to retreat and block, the sword still pierced his arm, creating a bloody hole, with blood gushing and staining half his clothes.
Qi Wang Cave Master let out a roar and stepped back, creating distance between himself and Tangyu. At this moment, Qi Wang Cave Master no longer had his former arrogance. His face was ugly and shocked, and his eyes showed a hint of fear as he looked at Tangyu.
How could this young upstart possess such terrifying strength?
This result was hard for Qi Wang Cave Master to accept. How could it be?
But the reality before him forced him to recognize that he had underestimated this child. It turned out that this child was the strongest among them. But who was he? Could he be the Hall Master of the Shocking King Hall? That didn’t seem right either.
Qi Wang Cave Master was dumbfounded, and so were the others.
Tangyu’s stunning sword move had completely shocked everyone.
The Xiao family members were also dumbfounded, staring at Tangyu in disbelief. Although they knew Tangyu was strong, they never expected him to surpass Xie Lei in strength.
After the shock, there was a wave of ecstatic joy.
Liang Youshan and the others were naturally full of admiration. As Tangyu grew stronger, they were naturally happier.
Xie Lei also stared at Tangyu, dumbfounded. He knew Tangyu’s realm couldn’t be higher than his own, but the strength Tangyu displayed was above his. That sword! Xie Lei was mesmerized by it. What a masterful sword, what a terrifying sword! What sword technique was that?
