Mount Tai and Goose Feather, Your Opponent Is Me

Ugh!!!

A fierce howl, like the wailing of ghosts and gods, gave Chu Tianshu a premonition that he could not dodge it.

In an instant, he lunged forward another two feet, changing his fist into a palm, palms facing upward, hands overlapping to block the golden light.

The ground shook violently!

The golden light revealed its true form: a nine-foot-long, gilded halberd with phoenix wings.

Originally, this strike was a vertical slash, and it should have been aimed at Chu Tianshu's head with the sharp tip.

But Chu Tianshu lunged forward two feet and successfully placed his hands on the long shaft of the weapon, avoiding the sharp edges at the top.

The immense force was abruptly blocked, causing the tip of the long weapon to sway violently downwards behind the fulcrum.

The cracks on the stone slab spread out in all directions, some reaching more than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) away.

Chu Tianshu's arms formed a circle, and his waist and stance formed a base, allowing him to withstand the attack. Furthermore, he used the power of his muscles, bones, and internal organs to distribute the impact in all directions.

The crack extended to a distance of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), and the center of the crack was sunken by nearly half a chi (approximately 2.5 meters).

However, Chu Tianshu's feet only touched the bottom of the pit, without sinking deep into the ground.

"It's so heavy!!"

Chu Tianshu's eyes widened in anger, and several blood vessels appeared in his eyeballs.

Even though he used Taiji Chi to block the attack and distribute the force, the immense power still made him feel intense pressure when it passed through his body.

This feeling is as if the opponent's added strength and power have been completely eliminated.

The weapon itself weighs over a thousand catties.

But if that weapon really weighed over a thousand pounds, how could the opponent have swung it so fast?

Call out!!

Yuwen Chiming took a step back, and at the same time, his Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd shook, as if he were shaking a long spear.

With a nimble flick of the weapon, it moved from above to the side, its phoenix-wing blade sniping towards Chu Tianshu's left ribs.

Chu Tianshu suddenly shrank back, his feet retreating six or seven feet.

This is the first time he has retreated since the start of the war.

Yuwen Chiming let out a low growl and immediately lunged forward.

With its double-winged blades laid flat on either side, this sudden thrust truly resembled a phoenix spreading its wings and taking flight.

His sudden thrust was aimed at Chu Tianshu's chest.

But when it was halfway through the stab, the wind suddenly became more intense, and the tip of the needle dipped down a little.

The tiny glint in Chu Tianshu's eyes widened and narrowed, lasting only for a fleeting moment, like lightning flashing and dew breaking through a dream.

That weapon, indeed, didn't actually weigh over a thousand pounds.

This strange change in weight should be related to the opponent's Weapon Soul power.

That is indeed the case.

This phoenix-winged gilded halberd contains Weapon Soul power called "Mount Tai and Goose Feather".

As heavy as Mount Tai, yet as light as a feather.

Although the change in weight didn't actually reach that exaggerated level, this weapon normally weighs four hundred jin (approximately 200 kg).

When its owner lifts it up and swings it, its weight can feel as light as 100 pounds.

When it crashes down on the enemy, its own weight can be as heavy as 1,600 pounds.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were eighteen rebel kings and many fierce generals. Among them, Yuwen Chengdu was recognized as the most powerful and brave, second only to Li Yuanba.

This phoenix-winged gilded halberd is none other than Yuwen Chengdu's weapon.

Li Yuanba's Weapon Soul was too fierce, and he had killed too many people. The ferocity contained within his Weapon Soul was too great, which attracted the attention of thunder energy. Wherever he went, it was as if thunderclouds were hanging over him, making him restless.

He was also a stubborn and unruly man, and instead of trying to restrain himself, he threw his hammer and cursed the heavens. As a result, he was struck by a series of heavenly lightning bolts, and his Weapon Soul was annihilated in mid-air. He himself was severely injured first, so he could not avoid the falling hammer.

The number one divine weapon and the person can be said to have died and been buried together.

Although Yuwen Chengdu himself died, his weapon remained, transforming into an evil weapon.

Today, when this evil weapon is wielded with full force, it not only possesses the wondrous Weapon Soul of Mount Tai and Goose Feather, but also a surging tide of evil energy that disrupts the surrounding energy field.

This makes the opponent feel unable to dodge Shangdu all their senses, forcing them to fight desperately to the death.

Although Yuwen Chiming could only achieve this locking effect when attacking from the front, he could not do the same when nimbly changing direction from the side.

But he is already the person in the history of the Yuwen Family who has mastered this evil weapon the best!

That blow had given Chu Tianshu a real scare, and he barely managed to catch it.

This thrust made Chu Tianshu feel his hair stand on end; even if he drew his sword to block it, he probably wouldn't be able to.

So he spun around with the fastest speed he ever had!

Condensed Mind Power flashed like a spark, instantly penetrating the entire body from the divine sword at the waist.

Back when Chu Tianshu hadn't yet Aperture Opening of boxing, he relied solely on acupuncture to guide his Mind Power and stimulate his body. This not only had a short duration but also placed a heavy burden on his body.

Today, this concentrated Mind Power, through the subtle connection between the Sword Soul and the mind, naturally fills the entire body.

As the scorching Mind Power flowed and expanded, it coordinated perfectly with the functions of the muscles, bones, and internal organs, creating a flawless whole.

To Inner Sage, Outer King, one must first and foremost be the master of one's own mind and body!

No matter how chaotic the intangible and intangible energy field around us is, or how much it affects our senses.

Even that couldn't hold Chu Tianshu back at this moment.

The powerful thrust of the Phoenix Winged Gold Halberd struck only a spiraling afterimage.

The spinning figure suddenly shifted to the side, unleashing a powerful whip kick.

The heel of the boot seemed to tear through the air, striking the dark gold pole heavily from the side.

When!!!

The Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd still weighed 1,600 jin at this moment.

After the whip kick landed, the long weapon swung violently to the side, its momentum too great to be reversed.

Once Yuwen Chiming's body is thrown off balance by the weapon, that will be the moment his fatal weakness is exposed.

But he was a top-notch expert after all. Suddenly, he turned around, slid the long pole backward, and used his waist to pry the entire weapon.

He transformed the swaying motion of the Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd into a spinning motion around his waist, using it to repel the enemy.

The middle section of the long pole rested against his waist, with both ends sweeping around its perimeter.

The phoenix wing-shaped blade at the top and the armor-piercing cone at the tail end draw sharp, chilling arcs around the perimeter.

Chu Tianshu's hand suddenly reached into the arc of light and precisely grasped the end of the long weapon.

Bang!!

When the dark golden tail struck his palm, his hand was shaped like a duck's bill, soft as linen, and his palm absorbed the power, his five fingers already tightening.

Yuwen Chiming sensed something was wrong and suddenly exerted force with both hands to fight back.

Chu Tianshu's left hand had already slammed onto the long pole.

With a hum, the force of the Palm Thunder suddenly transmitted through him. Yuwen Chiming felt as if his hands were being pierced by a flurry of needles, and his palms and fingers were in excruciating pain before he suddenly felt a release.

Chu Tianshu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He twisted the long pole and his body shot backward.

Pfft!!!

The entire weapon was taken away by Chu Tianshu.

The broad, phoenix-wing-shaped blade swept across Yuwen Chiming's waist.

Thick blood gushed out, and Yuwen Chiming, in excruciating pain, turned deathly pale and could not utter a sound.

His upper body had begun to lean to the side.

The members of the Yuwen Family looked pale and terrified, as if it were they themselves who had died, not their patriarch.

The Phoenix-Winged Gilded Halberd was incredibly powerful.

They had witnessed firsthand the patriarch dragging this weapon as he faced off against more than thirty armored cavalrymen.

It was as if a phoenix cast in gold was charging towards the herd of beasts, leaving only blood and corpses in its wake, annihilating both men and horses.

But just now, it seemed that the patriarch only slashed, thrust, and turned around, and the man was severed.

This time, he broke his own vow.

Hold head high!!

Chu Tianshu felt the weapon in his hand whistling, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, its head and tail trembling, and intense Yin energy was rebounding back at his arm.

Having killed another expert, the evil weapon's killing intent grew even stronger, erupting continuously.

Knowing that he could not subdue or kill him in a short time, Chu Tianshu gave a low shout, turned around, took a bow stance, and swung his long arm out.

The phoenix-winged gilded halberd transformed into a streak of dark golden light and shot into the Great Buddha Hall.

The magnificent golden Buddha statue, seated cross-legged in the main hall, was suddenly struck in the chest by a gilded halberd with phoenix wings, the tip of which pierced completely into the body.

The long pole vibrated and swayed for quite a while.

But without its owner, it was completely unable to pull itself out of the Buddha statue.

Tathagata the face of the Buddha was shaken.

Meanwhile, inside the Maitreya Hall.

Duan Zhong's expression also seemed to be shaken, and he suddenly raised his eyebrows.

He sensed something amiss about the battlefield behind the Maitreya Hall.

He even noticed Hai Donglai's breathing tighten slightly.

BOOM!!!

Duan Zhong's hands and Hai Donglai's hands collided with each other as fast as phantoms.

The black umbrella hung in mid-air, and the red cloud, like a beam of light, fell and disappeared into Hai Donglai's body.

The moldy umbrella surface was torn apart on the spot by the force of their collision.

Duan Zhong's body swayed backward, bumping into the heavy offering table, causing all the memorial tablets to shake.

Hai Donglai slid back to the threshold, kicked it, and dark red blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"You are seriously injured!!"

Even with Duan Zhong's composure, he couldn't help but let out a furious roar.

He was actually intimidated for a moment by a seriously injured person.

A figure flashed past the palace gate, as swift as a heron in flight.

Zheng Hui had already taken a detour from the side and quietly hid in a corner outside the main hall.

At this moment, he grabbed Hai Donglai's belt from behind with one hand, and suddenly changed direction, pulling Hai Donglai out of the hall.

"Zheng Hui!!"

Duan Zhong's two large sleeves suddenly became flat and hard, like two large iron plates.

The instant he moved forward, he seemed to fly close to the ground, moving at an incredible speed.

Zheng Hui felt as if the voice calling his name was summoning his soul.

But Zheng Hui knew even better that if Hai Donglai could withstand two more blows, his fate would be uncertain.

"Go!"

Zheng Hui flung Hai Donglai to the side and then swept off to the other side himself.

Two figures appeared, one on the left and one on the right.

Duan Zhong is someone who is overly fond of weighing options.

Since Hai Donglai was seriously injured, he was not his top priority.

Sure enough, Duan Zhong's figure spun in mid-air, his toes barely touching the ground, his two sleeves like iron wings, making him truly fly like an eagle.

Zheng Hui was delayed in throwing the man away, and only ran less than ten feet.

Duan Zhong was already above him, and stomped down on his head.

Hai Donglai, who was thrown out, showed no alarm or panic on his face, as if his heart was not disturbed by the life or death of his comrade.

He simply flipped his hand over, lifting it from between his chest and abdomen, and a crimson light gathered in his palm.

The Weapon Soul Cauldron Boil!

Blood seeped from his palm, instantly exploding upon contact with heat.

A blood-red palm print pierced the air and pressed down behind Duan Zhong.

Duan Zhong's heart stirred slightly. He turned around abruptly and shattered the blood mist with a palm strike, but since he was in mid-air, the impact of this palm strike sent him gliding away.

Zheng Hui escaped death, but his hair ornament was nowhere to be seen. Clumps of broken hair fell from the side of his face. He knelt on the ground and spat out blood with a "plop".

Duan Zhong's kick only grazed the top of his head, but it ruptured the air membrane on his scalp, making him feel as if he had been struck by lightning.

This Righteous King has even more tricks up his sleeve; he must have been racking his brains for a long time about how to deal with Zheng Hui's agility.

Guan Changling arrived at the door at this moment, and just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly became alert and dodged to the side.

Whoosh!! A large hand swept across his face, leaving three bloody marks.

If he hadn't dodged quickly, that hand would probably have slapped his entire head off.

The man didn't have time to pay him any more attention. He glanced at the target but missed, and before he could stop, he was already out of the main hall.

"Righteous King, Duan Zhong!"

Chu Tianshu passed through the Maitreya Hall, intercepted Zheng Hui, laughed heartily, and spoke kind words.

"Dude, are you blind? You've mistaken him for someone else."

"Your opponent should be me!"
