Lift the Willow and Disperse Yin Saber

When facing a large group of people alone, it might be easier to demoralize them if the goal is simply to break their spirit.

However, if you want to prevent certain information from being leaked, the difficulty increases tenfold.

The logic is simple: if the number of people on the other side exceeds one hundred, they will split up and run away.

The difficulty of catching up with all these people by oneself is already skyrocketing.

Moreover, these people might hide while fleeing, discarding their clothes, diving, swimming, and so on.

Liu Xueya's personal guards were almost all former bandits and swordsmen.

Upon hearing Chu Tianshu's words, many people cursed and immediately raised their guns.

Chu Tianshu wanted to enrage them.

As soon as the anger arose, Chu Tianshu pressed his left thumb against the hilt of the sword and flicked it outwards.

Choke!!!

A flash of sword light, and it shot out violently through the air.

Although the Sanqi Divine Sword has some wood grain upon closer inspection, it is generally white in color, resembling wood.

Moreover, at this moment, the Weapon Soul within was unleashed, and the sword light was like a dazzling White Rainbow.

Even with the hilt facing forward, this strike is enough to pierce through a steel plate several inches thick.

Liu Xueya's face was illuminated by the light, and she suddenly drew her knife.

The knife was as fast as a window cracking open, letting in a sudden burst of moonlight.

The hilt struck the blade, creating a loud clang that sent ripples through the air.

When Liu Xueya saw Chu Tianshu's skills, her first reaction was not fear, but rather apprehension and murderous intent.

Chu Tianshu also knew that the other party must have something to rely on.

This reliance didn't lie with the soldiers in the convoy, but with Liu Xueya herself.

More than half a year ago, when Cao Bokun was inspecting Liaodong by train, he was nearly killed by a bomb planted by the Dongying, and none of his entourage survived.

Only Cao Bokun, sword in hand, escaped the flames.

That very night, Cao Bokun led his men to the headquarters of the Japanese merchant guild in Liaodong, where they slaughtered everyone Dongying, leaving no one alive, and confiscated all their property.

Although he narrowly escaped death, his ferocity only increased.

From then on, warlords across the land realized more deeply that to become a leader, one could not rely solely on the protection of those around them; one's own abilities were of paramount importance.

Liu Xueya was the leader of the swordsmen, and her swordsmanship was already superb.

When he started his rebellion, he was already confident that he could defeat Chen Pinde, the Lineage, in a fight.

In the last six months or so, the power of his swordsmanship has increased dramatically.

He came to Chenjiagou today confident that he could capture all the people in Chenjiagou alive and take them away.

The soldiers who accompanied the group were only there to carry and guard the goods.

However, when the blade blocked the hilt of the sword, Liu Xueya was shocked to realize that Chu Tianshu had not used his full strength when he defeated the Three Elders of the Chen Family.

This sword was not only fast and fierce, but it also exuded an extremely intense heat.

The simulated high temperature caused the fabric fibers on Liu Xueya's cuffs to turn yellow and char instantly.

If Liu Xueya had dodged, that scorching sword would have struck the car's fuel tank behind him, causing an explosion.

The sword should be deflected from the side.

However, when swinging the sword to the side, the front of the body will be exposed, making it easy for Chu Tianshu to take advantage of the opening.

Bass!!

Chu Tianshu's figure shot over swiftly, the sword sheath in his hand with the blade on, the scabbard opening touching the hilt.

The powerful internal energy prevented the wooden scabbard from being damaged.

The sword hilt was pushed, unleashing a tremendous force that propelled it forward once more.

Liu Xueya's military boots slid into ruts on the ground and crashed backwards into the front of the car.

The black car was violently deformed from the impact; all the doors were flung open, and the wheels rolled backward.

The soldiers of the Song-Pacifying Army were shocked and quickly turned their guns to aim, but dared not fire because their commander was too close.

"Oh shit!"

Liu Xueya realized she had underestimated her opponent, cursed loudly, and commanded her sword to slash upwards with all her might.

The blade rubs vertically against the hilt of the sword.

Amidst the piercing sound, a hazy, grayish aura of blade energy emerged, enveloping the silver-white blade.

However, the force of Chu Tianshu's charge with his sword was as thick as the ocean tide. As the sword was raised, the hilt naturally generated a downward pressure to counteract it.

Gaa!!

The sword suddenly turned, the point where the blade pressed against the hilt remained the same, but the ends were reversed.

Liu Xueya's sword energy, which she had originally intended to raise, suddenly turned downwards.

Chu Tianshu originally held the scabbard with his left hand, but now he placed his right hand on the end of the scabbard and flicked it up as if he were holding a spear.

Liu Xueya's face lit up with joy. Taking advantage of the situation, she jumped backward, her military boots landing on the top of the black sedan. She flew backward again, landing on the top of the truck behind her, shouting loudly.

"Brothers, fire!!"

Chu Tianshu braced his longsword against the hood of the car, and his body soared into the air like a startled swallow, instantly reaching the top of the truck.

The truck was positioned almost in the center of the convoy, and also in the center of all the soldiers.

Although Chu Tianshu had tracked them down here, his target had become clearer.

Those soldiers with good marksmanship had already mustered up their courage and were about to fire.

At that moment, it was as if a shadow suddenly spread over Chu Tianshu.

Those bandits with ferocious faces suddenly had their knees buckle and knelt down.

Since mastering the "Divided Spirit Blood Curse," Chu Tianshu has been able to restrain his aura during battle, only unleashing it when he wants to.

This ignited the bandits' fury and heightened emotions. As they approached the center of the convoy, a sudden burst of oppressive force...

Some people who should have been able to withstand the shock swayed and fell to the ground on all fours under this extreme change.

Feeling the oppressive aura, Liu Xueya's expression finally changed. "Wait, everyone here is..."

It was at this moment that Chu Tianshu actually drew his sword.

The troop transport truck's cargo compartment didn't have a roof; it was simply covered with a thick layer of green tarpaulin.

It's very inconvenient for people to exert force when they step on it.

The moment Chu Tianshu's toes touched the cloth, he drew his sword and flew forward with it.

He was light and swift, so fast that it seemed no different from his movement on the ground.

The longsword was aimed straight for his throat, but was blocked by the commander's saber. The sword tip flashed and fell toward his heart.

With each flick of Chu Tianshu's wrist, the tip of his sword would strike seven or eight times.

The sword's combination of strength and resilience was fully utilized.

This is something I learned from fighting Ma Lingbai.

Although the sword strikes with resilience, each point where the sword tip lands is a vital point, acupoint, or joint.

In her early years, Liu Xueya practiced a sword technique from Bajiquan, the full name of which was "Lift the Willow and Disperse Yin Saber).

When first learning this sword technique, the sword used should be shaped like a willow leaf, and the movements should mainly involve lifting, flicking, cutting, wiping, and stabbing.

This sword technique is sharp, fierce, cold, and bloody.

It is called the Disperse Yin Saber because it is believed that the blade is inherently a Yin object. This blade technique also contains hidden reverse-attack methods, and is an insidious blade technique that leaves no one alive, spreading Yin wind and killing intent everywhere.

He was holding the knife, struggling to parry the sword strikes, when suddenly he reversed his grip and slashed, the blade striking the sword tip directly. Using the force of the impact, he stepped through the thick cloth and landed in the carriage.

"God help me!!"

Liu Xueya instantly changed her grip on the knife to a normal hand, raised it in mid-air, and the entire carriage was immediately filled with a dark aura of blade energy.

The sword energy surprisingly exhibited a soft quality, emanating from his blade and swirling in seven or eight directions.

The Yin Qi Blade Ring rotated without making a sound.

Some blade rings even stretched thick fabric after contacting it, preventing new cracks from forming.

The inside of the carriage grew even darker.

The moment Chu Tianshu caught up, that was the moment this dark space completely erupted.

Sure enough, the fabric on the roof sagged downwards.

But it bounced upwards again.

Chu Tianshu's figure rose into the air, headfirst.

The tip of the Sanqi Divine Sword pointed downwards and began to spin like a drill.

Chu Tianshu's entire body radiated a blue light, and the Four-Leaf Seal in his palm was dazzling.

With all his might, he slammed his palm down on the hilt of the sword.

Boom!!

The azure light ripped through the sky and struck the truck chassis. In that instant, Four-Leaf Seal, about six or seven steps in size, suddenly expanded and appeared.

Liu Xueya's sword energy, which she wanted to unleash, was a beat too slow upon seeing the Four-Leaf Seal.

The carriage exploded, and gray air currents scattered and flew everywhere. The unexploded blade rings cut diagonally into the ground.
