"Good timing. Yin Yang Reversal, come."
Longevity laughed heartily. His feet stepped through the Taiji Footwork, and a wall of swords appeared around him, formed entirely from densely packed Sword Intent. Strands of Rule power extended around his body.
"Come."
Ye Buqu roared. His body twisted sharply, and the Black Iron Heavy Sword in his right hand swung out with savage force. At that instant, even the air was cleaved apart by the strike, erupting with an earth-shattering boom.
"Come."
Longevity pushed both hands forward.
The Black Iron Heavy Sword slammed fiercely into the sword wall. In an instant, the Sword Intent on the wall was shattered piece by piece, while Longevity's body was forced steadily backward.
This strike was far too powerful. If it had fallen elsewhere, it would have been enough to split apart a mountain a million zhang tall with one blow.
"Yin Yang Reversal, rise for me!"
Madness filled Longevity's face as black and white qi coiled around his body. Each sweep of black qi stripped away thirty percent of Ye Buqu's force, while each sweep of white qi increased his own strength by thirty percent.

But then? To use softness to overcome hardness, that depended on whether your bones were sturdy enough.
"Fellow Daoist Longevity, be careful."
Ye Buqu leaped high into the air, his eyes fixed on the turtle shell formed from black and white qi
