Chapter 451: Chapter 443 Falling Moon Sword Technique_1
The best approach was to actively resist and dissolve the incoming slash of Sword Qi.
The second wave of Sword Qi was again successfully neutralized by Gongsun Jin, but his hair was disheveled, and the hem of his robe and the cuff of his right sleeve were torn. He looked rather disheveled.
Between Immortal Masters and the Spirit Qi Realm, there seemed to be only one level difference, but it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
It was unclear why Gongsun Jin harbored such hatred for the Nine Insects Gang Leader, insisting on catching and scolding her.
The grievances between those in high positions were only clear to the parties involved.
Being repeatedly insulted, the Nine Insects Gang Leader’s black robe fluttered without wind, clearly enraged to the extreme.
“As detestable as that wretch! It’s true that not a single one from the Gongsun Family is decent, only fit for hell!”
Before the words ended, she danced nimbly upon the Tyrant Demon Spider, with the treasure sword in her hand drawing bizarre sword shadows.
Seeing this scene, the Black Tiger Gang Leader’s expression changed dramatically, and he hurriedly shouted, “Gongsun Gang Leader, flee quickly!” As he spoke, he spurred the tiger demon under him to block in front of the Nine Insect Gang Leader. “Hei Ying, your opponent is me, and today I must properly experience your Falling Moon Sword Technique.”
“Is this, this the Falling Moon Sword Technique? It was rumored that back in the day, the Seven-Star Sect showcased the Seven-Star Sword Technique as its proud sword technique, but secretly, they possessed an even more powerful sword technique, called the Falling Moon Sword Technique. This sword technique is only passed down to the sect leader.”
Gongsun Jin did not rush to flee, instead, he watched the Nine Insects Gang Leader perform the Falling Moon Sword Technique with a desirous gaze.
Qin Niu had obtained a copy of the Seven-Star Sword Technique, always thinking it was the Seven-Star Sect’s profound masterpiece, which was why he had Xiao Qing and his two wives practice this sword technique.
Now he understood that the Seven-Star Sword Technique was just the strongest technique on display, while the truly formidable one was the Falling Moon Sword Technique.
The movements of the Nine Insects Gang Leader were not very fast, and even appeared slow, graceful, and enchanting to onlookers.
In actuality, she quickly completed the initiation of the Falling Moon Sword Technique.
Some advanced sword techniques have initiation moves, which serve as a foundation for subsequent techniques.
It could also be simply understood as a warm-up.
“The first move, ‘Seemingly the Milky Way Falling from the Heavens’!”
She chanted the sword mantra, and slashed a sword strike towards Gongsun Jin.
The terrifying Sword Qi unleashed from the tip of the sword, growing stronger as it surged forth, carrying the desolate force capable of exterminating all life on earth, as though it could silence all things.
However, it was quickly blocked by the Black Tiger Gang Leader with a sword.
The Black Tiger Gang Leader’s sword technique was upright and powerful, displaying the dominance befitting a king.
One sword strike, like the collapse of Mount Tai, like the surge of raging waves.
Even his sword light was pale gold.
With what appeared to be an effortless stroke, he unleashed the power of a thousand troops charging into battle.
Boom!
Their sword lights collided fiercely, clashing and striking against one another.
Eventually, both sword lights gradually dissipated, with their sword technique strengths seeming to be evenly matched.
“Xue Qiuhe, you deceitful wretch, you’ve hidden yourself well. I didn’t expect you to have broken through to the Immortal Scholar Realm. And you’ve mastered the Sun Pursuing Sword Technique,” spat the Nine Insects Gang Leader, her voice icy cold.
She wanted to kill Gongsun Jin, who insulted her, with one strike, not hesitating to use the Falling Moon Sword Technique, but her supposedly lethal strike was blocked by the Black Tiger Gang Leader, and her inner rage was imaginable.
“Both of us have our little secrets. Without any fuss, you’ve obtained the inheritance sword technique of the Seven-Star Sect and have trained it to such power, and at the same time, you’ve also broken through to the Immortal Scholar Realm, which is truly impressive. It seems that at this year’s Water and Land Dharma Assembly, you are set on winning.”
The Black Tiger Gang Leader, instead of trading insults with her, instead complimented her for being remarkable.
In fact, the Nine Insects Gang Leader, a woman in her own right, managed to control a sect and didn’t neglect her cultivation, which really was no simple feat.
These individuals were all genuine powerhouses who normally kept a low profile and never easily displayed their strength.
Only in the heat of battle could their true power be seen.
Qin Niu always believed that Immortal Masters were high above, residing only within the Immortal Sects, and ordinary people would find it difficult to encounter one in a lifetime.
He had not expected to face two Immortal Scholars.
“The Water and Land Dharma Assembly is our only chance to enter the Immortal Gate. Who wouldn’t go all out for it?” Gongsun Jin is doomed today, and you can’t protect him.”
The Nine Insects Gang Leader perhaps noticed that the Black Tiger Gang Leader’s strength was not inferior to her own, and her tone underwent a slight change.
It could be seen as a form of respect.
At their level, money and power should have long been of little concern.
After all, both of them controlled their own sects and possessed extremely powerful strength.
“Why must it come to this! Take my advice, withdraw your forces back to the Nine Insect Gang’s territory immediately. A fight where both sides suffer serves no one any good.”
The Black Tiger Gang Leader showed forbearance towards the Nine Insects Gang Leader at every turn, opting for a conciliatory policy.
What romantic entanglements the two may have had in their youth, nobody knew.
“The second form, Miles of Autumn Sorrow Dances in the Sky!”
She executed the second form of the Falling Moon Sword Technique.
As she swept out with her sword, the entire sky seemed to tremble, the pleasant autumn weather suddenly gave way to a gusting wind.
The ground’s weeds and dead leaves were whipped up, swirling through the air, truly conveying a sense of deep autumnal melancholy.
The fearsome Sword Qi split in mid-air, first into two, then four.
All of it aimed directly at Gongsun Jin.
Qin Niu was standing very close to Gongsun Jin, and in fright, he quickly gripped the Ink Blade in his hand, while activating the King Pig Leather Armor, trying to make the Qi armor more solid. Still not feeling safe, he also performed the Misty Rain Elusive Step to increase the distance.
When Immortals fight, mere mortals suffer.
With his current cultivation, he couldn’t even handle a strong practitioner of the Spirit Qi Realm, let alone withstand the top-tier sword techniques of an Immortal Scholar.
Even a fool could see, the Nine Insects Gang Leader, angered by Gongsun Jin’s insults, was set on killing Gongsun Jin.
“Gangsun Sect Leader, run!”
The Black Tiger Gang Leader parried two streams of Sword Qi with her sword, then commanded her demonic tiger to emit a stream of black Qi, blocking another. However, she was powerless to stop the last one.
By the time Gongsun Jin thought of escaping, it was already too late.
The Sword Qi was incredibly fast, reaching him in the blink of an eye. Although this Sword Qi represented only a quarter of the second form’s power, its might was astonishing, over ten feet long and more than a foot wide, enveloping Gongsun Jin entirely within the range of the Sword Qi’s slash.
In this critical moment, Gongsun Jin instantly dropped his defenses and then thrust hard against the ground with both feet.
Immediately after, he soared into the air.
Beneath his feet, as if treading upon invisible clouds, he kept thrusting upward, his body rapidly gaining altitude.
In an instant, he had risen more than thirty meters into the air.
Narrowly avoiding the dreadful Sword Qi.
Bang!
The Sword Qi slammed fiercely onto the ground, all stones and vegetation covered by it were turned to rubble in an instant.
A deep crevice more than thirty feet long appeared on the ground.
The whole earth shook intensely for a moment.
Qin Niu paled with fright, his eyes wide with terror as he gazed at the gash in the ground, swallowing with difficulty. Then, wisely, he fled towards the back, increasing the distance between himself and the Nine Insects Gang Leader.
Such an opponent was beyond his ability to provoke.
Staying away from her was the wisest move.
