Mu Bai Versus Master Dehua (Part 1)

With a roar, Master Dehua unleashed his attack like a ferocious dragon.

His speed was lightning-fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had crossed a distance of ten zhang!

He suddenly swung his right palm, and a powerful Dragon Elephant force swept out like a mountain collapsing into the sea, striking directly towards Mu Bai's face.

This palm strike was astonishingly powerful. Wherever it passed, a fierce wind raged, and sand and stones on the ground were swept up, forming a sandstorm that engulfed Mu Bai.

However, Mu Bai was not intimidated by this terrifying aura.

He lightly tapped the ground with his toes, and his body shot backward like a swallow.

At the same time, the Qinglin Sword in his hand was unsheathed like lightning, its tip trembling slightly.

Mu Bai's sword strike was named "Gentle Breeze Arrives," the first of the "Eight Swords of Lightness"!

Although its name sounded incredibly gentle, it concealed endless killing intent.

The sword's movement was unpredictable, elusive like a gentle breeze. Its shadow glinted coldly in the sunlight, like shooting stars streaking across the sky, aiming for Master Dehua's wrists, throat, and other vital points.

Facing Mu Bai's sharp sword strike, Master Dehua let out a cold snort, clearly not taking it seriously.

He quickly struck out with his left palm, his palm wind like thunder, fiercely colliding with Mu Bai's sword energy.

In an instant, a deafening roar was heard.

The collision of this palm and sword generated an extremely powerful surge of energy that spread outwards like an explosion.

Under the impact of this energy, the surrounding trees were uprooted, and their leaves danced wildly in the wind.

Mu Bai used this recoil force to quickly retreat.

At the same time, his feet carved two deep marks on the ground.

In a flash, Master Dehua thrust out his palms, and a powerful force surged out like a mountain collapsing into the sea.

Golden dragon patterns flickered on his palms, and each strike was accompanied by a deafening dragon's roar, as if a true dragon was circling and roaring in the sky.

As Master Dehua's palm force erupted, the ground could not withstand the immense pressure and began to tremble violently.

Cracks spread across the ground like a spiderweb, and broken stones flew into the air, carried by the powerful energy like bullets, hurtling towards Mu Bai at astonishing speed.

Facing this storm-like assault, Mu Bai's expression became extremely solemn.

The Qinglin Sword in his hand moved rapidly, and sword energy crisscrossed, forming an impenetrable sword net.

The flying碎石 (suì shí - broken stones) shattered into countless tiny pieces the moment they touched the sword net, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

However, Master Dehua's attack did not stop there.

His True Qi surged out continuously, and the broken stones rained down on Mu Bai like dense raindrops.

Mu Bai dared not be negligent. He took a deep breath and unleashed the second sword of the "Lightness Sword Style" – "Willow Leaf Drifting."

His sword moves were like a sudden, violent storm, and his sword shadows were as light as willow leaves, tracing silver arcs in the sunlight.

These arcs, seemingly chaotic, actually contained infinite variations. Each arc skillfully avoided Master Dehua's palm force, striking at his vital points from different angles.

Seeing this, Master Dehua knew he might not gain an advantage by continuing to clash head-on. He immediately decided to unleash his ultimate skill – the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill."

In an instant, his body was covered in a dazzling golden light that shone brilliantly in the sun, as if he were protected by an indestructible Vajra.

Mu Bai's sword energy struck Master Dehua's body fiercely, but only left shallow white marks, unable to cause any substantial damage.

Master Dehua seized the momentary flaw in Mu Bai's defense and launched a fierce counterattack without mercy.

His palms struck out rapidly in succession like lightning, their shadows intertwining in the sunlight like a golden screen, dazzling the eyes.

Facing such a swift offensive, Mu Bai could only retreat continuously, while wielding the Qinglin Sword to form an impenetrable sword curtain in front of him, struggling to resist Master Dehua's attack.

However, Master Dehua's palm force was too powerful. Each clash of palm and sword felt like a heavy hammer striking Mu Bai, making his Blood Essence surge and his tiger's mouth go numb.

Just as Mu Bai was beginning to falter, Master Dehua keenly captured a fleeting opening.

He did not hesitate to seize this opportunity, and his right palm struck Mu Bai's left shoulder with the force of "Thunderous Might."

The power of this palm strike was immense. Mu Bai felt a force like a mountain collapsing into the sea surge towards him, instantly sending him flying.

He was like a kite with a broken string, losing control in the air before crashing heavily into a large tree.

With a crisp "crack," the tree fell, sending dust flying.

Sunlight pierced through the swirling dust, illuminating Mu Bai's pale, paper-like face. A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, a shocking sight.

However, Mu Bai was not defeated by this heavy blow.

He endured the intense pain, staggering to his feet.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

The Qinglin Sword spun slowly in his hand, emitting a humming sound.

As he circulated his energy, sword energy condensed at the tip of the sword like a vortex, forming a green halo in the sunlight, exuding a heart-stopping aura.

The third sword, "Crashing Waves," was like a surging, mighty wave, about to stir up immense turmoil.

With this sword strike, Mu Bai gathered all his True Qi into the sword body. The sword's momentum was as fierce as crashing waves against the shore, its power astonishing.

Seeing this, Master Dehua did not dare to be the slightest bit careless.

He immediately activated the "Dragon Elephant Divine Skill" within his body once more. His palms clenched tightly, and his aura surged like a volcanic eruption. His body, already radiating golden light, now blazed with an even more dazzling, resplendent glow.

A moment later, Mu Bai's sword stance was ready. Streams of sword energy surged forward like waves!

"Well done!" Master Dehua roared, his voice like a thunderous bell, deafening and immense.

His figure moved like lightning, like a ferocious Mighty Lion, pouncing directly towards Mu Bai.

At the same time, he struck out with his palms, the wind from his blows whistling like Thunderous Might, his momentum vast and imposing.

In an instant, the two figures met in mid-air like shooting stars, colliding with each other. Sword energy and palm winds intertwined, erupting in a world-shattering roar.

Immediately after, a massive storm suddenly formed, sweeping outwards in all directions from the two of them as its center.

Where the storm passed, sand and stones flew, leaving a scene of devastation.

The rockery nearby, unable to withstand the impact of this immense power, collapsed with a crash.

The dust that was kicked up formed a yellow pillar of smoke, shooting straight into the sky and obscuring half of it.

Sunlight pierced through the gaps in the dust, casting golden beams that illuminated the entire scene, making it appear dreamlike and ethereal.

Within this world of shifting light and shadow, Mu Bai and Master Dehua's figures flickered in and out of sight. Each clash between them was like lightning streaking across a night sky, swift and dazzling, leaving one's eyes reeling.

While Mu Bai's "Crashing Waves" sword style possessed immense power, Master Dehua's "Dragon Elephant Divine Skill" and "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" worked in tandem, offense and defense seamlessly integrated, making it difficult for Mu Bai's attacks to break through.

Suddenly, Mu Bai's body trembled violently. He felt a powerful force strike his chest, as if it were about to shatter his internal organs.

His ribs let out a "crackling" sound of breaking, and the intense pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He knew he had been struck by another palm!
