Clang!
Jian Yuhua deflected the spear with his staff and took advantage of the opportunity to go straight for the jugular. It seemed to be a sure-kill move.
But no one noticed that when the tip of Ye Jingtang’s spear was knocked away, his hands holding the spear only moved a little.
The spear tip had been deflected because Jian Yuhua’s instantaneous explosive power had been too strong, and the spear shaft was elastic.
The moment Jian Yuhua moved forward, the tip of the spear bounced back. Ye Jingtang took the opportunity to swing hard and hit the long staff approaching him.
Clang!
The two long weapons collided again, making an explosive sound.
Jian Yuhua reacted extremely swiftly. He retracted his staff after raising the tip of the spear. At the same time, his wrist shook violently, and he used the tip of the staff to sneak toward Ye Jingtang’s ankle.
But the spear’s explosive power was too great. He had a good idea, but his feet couldn’t stand still. After the head-on collision, his lower body actually lost balance.
Tread, tread, tread…
Jian Yuhua took three steps back from the blow and only stopped when he touched the ground with the tip of his staff. Just as the shock in his eyes appeared, a cold light pierced toward his face.
Swoosh!
The tip of the black spear cut through the airflow, and its movement sounded like an arrow cutting through the air, almost shrill.
After Ye Jingtang knocked Jian Yuhua away, his robe suddenly tightened. He held the spear with both hands and stabbed straight at Jian Yuhua’s chest without any skill and just absolute strength.
The straight stab was the foundation of spearmanship. It was also the most powerful move among the hundred schools of spearmanship. It maximized the usage of the weapon length and the strength of the body. If the middle ground was lost and the lower body was unbalanced, it was impossible to defend against it.
But the Storm Staff was a battle formation staff technique, and the spear was the strongest weapon in the battle formation. Jian Yuhua had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and what he had learned was how to break the long spear.
When the spear stab approached him, Jian Yuhua’s figure fell backward. The eyebrow staff that was touching the ground slid up in his hand, and the end of the staff accurately hit the tip of the spear.
Clang!
Amidst the crisp sound of metal colliding, the tip of the spear was deflected upward and passed over Jian Yuhua’s head.
At this moment, Jian Yuhua used the tip of the staff as a fulcrum. His feet were off the ground and almost horizontal in midair, just like a rabbit kicking an eagle.
Ye Jingtang really didn’t expect this move from the opponent. The tip of the spear was blocked by eyebrow staff, and he couldn’t press it down. In an instant, Jian Yuhua’s feet were already on his chest.
Bam!
After a muffled sound, Ye Jingtang flew nearly 30 feet back and landed on the lake.
Jian Yuhua’s attack was successful. His feet landed on the ground, and then he bounced up. His figure leaped into the sky and almost flew out with Ye Jingtang. He held the staff with both hands and smashed it toward Ye Jingtang’s landing spot with the force of splitting a mountain.
This scene was breathtaking in everyone’s eyes. Even Pei Xiangjun couldn’t help sighing. The Storm Staff lived up to its reputation.
According to the experience of the people present, Ye Jingtang was hit by the ‘Rabbit Kicking the Eagle’. He fell into the lake and would have difficulty moving. He definitely wouldn’t be able to dodge Jian Yuhua’s ferocious killing move.
Zhou Huaili and Xuanyuan Hongzhi even silently breathed a sigh of relief.
But immediately, everyone’s eyes were at a loss.
Swoosh!
After Ye Jingtang landed on the lake, he didn’t make any splashes. Instead, it was as if his feet were stepping on driftwood, leaving two white lines on the sparkling lake. His entire body slid back as if he were sliding on ice.
Boom!
Jian Yuhua’s full-strength staff attack smashed into the lake.
The calm lake water immediately exploded, raising a twenty-foot-tall splash as a dent was forcefully blasted in the lake. Several koi fish flew out of the water and were directly killed by shock. They were already motionless in midair.
The momentum of this move could be described as terrifying, but it was useless if it didn’t hit.
After sliding more than 100 feet on the lake’s surface, Ye Jingtang’s figure moved forward again. He stepped on the blue waves and pointed his spear diagonally at the lake’s surface while rushing toward Jian Yuhua.
Tread, tread, tread…
He was getting faster and faster!
The black-robed figure flew across the lake, drawing a line of white ripples on the lake’s surface. It was like a white-tailed arrow shooting toward the shore with the force of thunder!
“Haa!”
His shout was like the roar of a dragon.
The experts outside the Seeking Sword Hall took half a step back in unison, their eyes filled with shock!
Above the blue waves, the black-robed figure soared into the sky and pierced through the blue sky and red sun. He raised his black spear high and smashed down at Jian Yuhua, who was poking his head out of the lake.
Boom!
In an instant, the lake in front of the Seeking Sword Hall exploded under the dazzling setting sun.
A semicircular pit that was half a person deep instantly appeared in the middle of the lake, and the mud at the bottom of the lake was visible.
A ring-shaped wave more than ten feet tall spread in all directions with Jian Yuhua as the center.
In the water, Jian Yuhua found it difficult to move quickly. He immediately dived to the bottom of the lake, wanting to rely on the resistance of the lake water to reduce the power of the attack.
But the surging internal energy contained in this attack was far more than he imagined.
The black spear broke through the lake water and landed on the horizontally raised eyebrow staff.
Although Jian Yuhua had accurately blocked the spear shaft with the eyebrow staff so that the spear wouldn’t strike him, an indescribably powerful force assaulted his arms, causing his body to sink instantly, burying half of his body in the mud at the bottom of the lake.
Boom!
The lake water exploded and filled in again, causing water to splash into the sky.
Ye Jingtang stepped on the waves and flew into the sky again. Like an eagle soaring through the sky, his figure was elegant and handsome as he landed steadily on the top of the boulder by the lake.
Pitter-patter…
Countless water droplets fell from the sky like a heavy rain falling on the lake.
The surging ripples spread forward under the red sun.
With his back facing the sunset, Ye Jingtang pointed his spear at the ground with one hand, looked down at the dumbfounded famous figures, and patted the two footprints on his robe with his left hand. “Good staff technique.”
Pa, pa, pa…
It was at this moment that everyone shockingly discovered that during the intense battle in the lake, the water didn’t touch Ye Jingtang at all. Even the surface of his shoes wasn’t wet!
H H
Under the light of the setting sun, the Seeking Sword Hall fell into a deathly silence. Even Song Chi and Chen Yuanqing were at a loss.
After a long time, there was some noise in front of the hall.
“What happened?”
“That was… the Cutting Cloud Steps?”
“I think so…”
“Riding waves and shattering water without a drop touching the body, stepping on the wind to penetrate the sun and cut the clouds! It’s definitely Yan Mountain’s Cutting Cloud Steps.”
“Woah…”
The famous figures in front of the hall looked at each other. Their eyes were not shocked but full of confusion.
The seniors of Jianghu present knew about the domineering move ‘Opening the Sea with a Single Spear’.
The seniors had also seen the top lightness skill ‘Riding Waves and Shattering Water without a Drop Touching the Body’.
But when these two things were used together, even the most knowledgeable Three Absolutes Elderly Immortal couldn’t understand it.
After all, these two martial arts were completely not of the same system.
The Overlord Spear was bold and powerful. It emphasized the weight of the body, and every step was like a mountain. Yan Mountain’s Cutting Cloud Steps emphasized moving through waves without leaving a trace, and the body was as light as a swallow.
The two martial arts’ qi circulation paths were completely opposite. Even if everyone present had learned them, they wouldn’t dare to use them at the same time during a fight. Otherwise, they would definitely suffer internal injuries on the spot with the slightest error in qi control.
What kind of martial arts genius was he that he dared to play like this when fighting and even be able to control it freely?
Everyone discussed animatedly as they looked at Ye Jingtang on the boulder. They even forgot what they had been doing.
Clatter!
A soft sound came from the surface of the lake. Jian Yuhua pulled his body out of the mud and flew out of the lake. It could be seen that the sleeves of his arms were completely torn, and several veins were popping out. It was obvious that he had suffered internal injuries from the impact.
Ye Jingtang didn’t turn around. He held his spear with one hand and looked at
Zhou Huaili in front of the hall.. “Sect Master Zhou, are you convinced?”
