When Fang Yue spoke, Lin Ling immediately gave Old Sheep and the other Vice-Captains a look.
They understood and nodded, then all together, they raised the pile of iron swords they were holding and tossed them towards Fang Yue.
Dozens of iron swords scattered across the night sky, turning into specks of starlight before rapidly descending.
Swish, swish, swish, swish--
The first iron sword plunged into the ground not far from Fang Yue.
The other iron swords then fell around them, forming a well-arranged encirclement that trapped Fang Yue and the Anomaly.
The Anomaly also noticed this and suddenly stopped, becoming alert.
For a moment, the area around the person and the Anomaly was filled with iron swords stuck in the ground haphazardly, creating a scene reminiscent of an endless blade technique.
Nice!
Fang Yue's heart rejoiced. He pulled out the nearest iron sword, then, as if that wasn't enough, pulled out another.
Holding two iron swords, Fang Yue felt a surge of confidence.
Back in the day, the Thirteen Protectors of Flower-Fruit Mountain, armed with two watermelon knives, charged from the South Heaven Gate all the way to the Eastern Road of Penglai, fighting for three days and three nights!
It was a river of blood, but he just kept swinging, swinging, without even blinking!
Today, I, Fang Yue, can also hold two iron swords and make this Anomaly cry and beg for mercy!
With a loud shout, Fang Yue charged at the Anomaly, wielding two iron swords.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
"Holy crap! Dual wielding!"
"He knows dual blade techniques?"
"A martial skill! He knows a martial skill! Without the corresponding martial skill, it's impossible to fight with dual iron swords. He must be..."
Bang!!
A loud explosion.
Fang Yue, who had charged ferociously towards the Anomaly, was sent flying back the same way.
Along with Fang Yue's heavy landing came two iron swords, snapped in half.
Watching the graceful arc they made through the air, the scene fell into silence.
Everyone: ...
Lin Ling: ...
They can't keep up the act anymore!
Big brother, if you don't know dual blade techniques, why did you grab two swords?!
Everyone was completely bewildered. Lin Ling even covered his face, unable to bear watching.
How could someone so clueless think of just grabbing two swords to fight?
Every martial art corresponds to a weapon. Even blade techniques have variations like long swords, short swords, and dual swords.
Even dual swords are usually short, dagger-like weapons, not single-handed swords used in pairs.
It's not that dual-wielding single-handed swords martial arts don't exist, they're just rare and few people practice them. Fang Yue clearly didn't lack the means to obtain such an obscure technique.
Furthermore, as far as Lin Ling knew, Chen Mu's blade technique was a standard single-sword technique, with no mention of dual-wielding.
Watching Fang Yue get up with a smooth roll, as if nothing had happened, and then trot a short distance to pick up another sword, Lin Ling finally couldn't hold back.
"Blade techniques! Little Ye, use the blade technique Chen Mu taught you!"
Swords are weapons, and they have a sharpness value. This sharpness can augment the wielder, dealing greater damage.
Like when Fang Yue was attacking with his fists, he could only deal around 30 damage, with 50 being a small critical hit.
But after equipping the iron swords, his damage surged, fluctuating between 40-60, though it was quite hard on the swords.
Equipping weapons also changes the combat style.
The most important thing is whether one can adapt and utilize the weapon's full potential.
Besides providing a damage bonus, the most crucial aspect of a weapon is that it provides the prerequisite for activating martial skills!
Without a sword in hand, there are no sword moves.
Without a sword in hand, naturally, there are no sword techniques.
Blade techniques are based on the sword and can only be performed with one.
Initially, Lin Ling sent Fang Yue swords, hoping he would use his blade techniques to kill the Anomaly.
But after watching for so long, what Fang Yue was doing wasn't blade techniques at all; it was just wild slashing with no discernible pattern.
As Lin Ling shouted, Fang Yue was already fighting the Anomaly and had no time to respond.
Lin Ling became anxious and shouted again with all his might, "Blade techniques! Blade techniques!"
Damn it!
Why are you yelling so loud!
If I had Internal Energy, I would have already been slashing Anomalies in the face with my Blade Technique!
Fang Yue's face darkened. He blocked the Anomaly's attack with one hand while reaching for an iron saber on the ground with the other, directly hacking at the Anomaly's neck.
-63!
Clang! A small critical hit notification popped up.
Before Fang Yue could show any joy, he was kicked in the chest by the Anomaly. Accompanied by the cracking of bones, he was sent flying back over ten meters.
-148!
Damn it!
As soon as Fang Yue landed, he rolled a few times, immediately got up, and shouted at Lin Ling.
"Stop yelling! I don't have Internal Energy! How can I use Blade Techniques!"
Internal Energy?
Lin Ling was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Chen Mu actually taught you the Spark Saber Technique!? Didn't he know you don't have Internal Energy!"
Fang Yue's blood had just about recovered, and the bones in his sunken chest quickly returned to their original state.
Just as he was about to meet the charging Anomaly, he heard Lin Ling's words, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
So annoying, this guy, can't he understand plain speech?
Anger surged. Fang Yue violently slashed the Anomaly's shoulder, making it pause and its feet sink a few centimeters into the ground.
"No Internal Energy! No Internal Energy! Don't you understand?! I know internal cultivation, I know the Spark Saber Technique set, I just haven't recovered my Internal Energy right now!!"
Shouting continuously, Fang Yue unleashed a flurry of slashes, briefly suppressing the Anomaly, but was soon sent flying back by a palm strike.
Lin Ling now understood what Fang Yue meant, but he still found it incredible.
That Chen Mu, to actually not teach any basic Blade Techniques for crude martial arts and directly teach Fang Yue the Spark Saber Technique!
Doesn't that mean Fang Yue's base dual attributes started at a whopping 30 points?
What kind of person is this!
Lin Ling accepted the special physique, it was innate.
But what was going on with having 30 dual attributes before even starting martial arts?
Is he really a peerless genius picked from a million?
I'm gonna puke!
Lin Ling's jealousy ignited, and bitterness surged. Hearing Old Sheep ask him what to do, Lin Ling blurted out.
"What to do? I wish he'd just die!!"
Huh? What's wrong?
Everyone was a bit confused by Lin Ling's sudden 180-degree change in attitude, bewildered.
But fortunately, Lin Ling was just venting.
He wished Fang Yue would die, but he wouldn't actually do it.
Public matters are public matters, private matters are private matters.
Fang Yue protecting Ancient Moon Village was a public duty, so he had to give his all to help, no matter how unwilling he was.
"Hua Wuye should still be alive. Go get his Scum Yuan Pill and throw it to Little Ye. Once he recovers his Internal Energy, he can unleash Martial Path techniques and his strength will soar."
Although Old Sheep was confused, he still obeyed the order and took the Scum Yuan Pill from the fanny pack of the dying Hua Wuye.
This is the Scum Yuan Pill!
Looking at the exquisite ceramic bottle in his hand, Old Sheep's breathing quickened.
The Vice-Captain, his highest achievement was only in mundane martial arts.
Without entering the Martial Path, one remains mortal!
Seeing that only those in the Martial Path could afford the Scum Yuan Pill, Old Sheep's emotions were complex, but he quickly suppressed them.
He glanced at the still unconscious Hua Wuye and forcefully threw the bottle containing the Scum Yuan Pill towards Fang Yue's location.
"Little Ye! Catch! This is the Scum Yuan Pill, it can restore Internal Energy!"
