Chapter 102: Revised: Chapter 101 Displaying Tactics (2nd update, please subscribe)

Over on Qin Shaoping’s side, things were relatively better. Though his battle experience was a bit lacking and he appeared somewhat flustered dealing with two Ghost Head Stronghold bandits, he still held the upper hand, employing his swordsmanship with agility and precision. The tip of his long sword always found the weak spots of the bandits, showcasing the brilliance of his skill.

If this continued, as long as nothing drastic happened, he would secure a steady victory.

But on the other side, Tong Zhan’s situation looked extremely perilous.

Iron Maiden’s iron hammer clashed with fierce booming sounds with every strike. The wind it generated could cut one’s skin. Each collision, despite Iron Maiden’s slightly declining Qi and blood, was still incredibly heavy, with the force transmitted through the vibrating weapon.

After only three or four clashes, Tong Zhan’s war saber had already started to bend, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Not to mention the formidable Traceless Saber Yuu Fang beside him.

His sword technique was exquisite beyond compare, and the long saber cut through the air without a sound, with hidden power seeping through each strike. In just a short time, Tong Zhan had accumulated three or four wounds. Though none were fatal, they still bled profusely.

No matter how tough one’s skin was, it couldn’t truly defend against attacks from a Martial Artist of the same level.

A blade light swept silently, leaving only ripples in its wake without producing any sound.

An iron hammer, like an unstoppable heavy blow, came whistling through the air, exploding with an eerie wind in the void.

At that moment, Tong Zhan, in his chaotic movements amid the combat, suddenly stepped on a protruding tile.

Crack!

The tile shattered, causing Tong Zhan’s body to momentarily freeze due to the imbalance.

A strike he could have avoided now became inevitable.

"It’s over..."

Tong Zhan’s face turned ashen, a hint of sorrow in his eyes. freeweɓnøvel.com

Having roamed the Jianghu for so long, he had long since come to terms with life and death. He just never imagined he would die here.

Ultimately, he had been too careless.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, a broken blade suddenly shot like a bolt of lightning.

Clang!

A resonating crash followed.

The broken blade collided directly with the hammer.

The hammer, which was meant to land on his head, veered off course and smashed into a chair like a heavy sledgehammer.

Boom!

The chair shattered, but it allowed Tong Zhan to escape from certain death. Blocking Yuu Fang’s long saber with his own blade.

"Bai Ziyue..."

Narrowly escaping death, Tong Zhan felt immense gratitude.

But amidst the battle, there was no time for thanks, as more strikes came at him, forcing him to engage in counterattacks.

"Such strength."

Iron Maiden Yuu Lihua’s expression changed, her eyes locking onto Bai Ziyue.

The impact from the broken blade just now was astonishing, almost on par with her peak-level External Forging full-force strike.

Moreover, she noticed with a sidelong glance that the sounds of battle were attracting onlookers. It wouldn’t be long before the government or other members of the Sunburst Gang arrived, even if the reinforcements Bai Ziyue and his group had notified hadn’t yet come. This made her anxious.

As she hesitated, Bai Ziyue darted forward, rapidly closing the distance, with a small knife slicing through the air.

"Humph!"

She grunted, her iron crutch meeting his attack head-on, projecting immense force outward.

With longer weapons having greater power and shorter weapons being more hazardous, her six-foot-long iron crutch had a great advantage over Bai Ziyue’s barely three-inch dagger, despite his formidable strength, putting him at a disadvantage.

Clang!

A resonant clash occurred, the small knife barely pausing as it held against the iron crutch’s strike. The force transmitted from the hammer was neutralized instantly by Bai Ziyue’s overwhelming strength.

Iron Maiden’s expression shifted, showing a hint of disbelief.

She knew precisely how strong her attacks were. Despite Bai Ziyue’s youthful and somewhat immature appearance, indicating his young age,

he surpassed her in strength, and his External Forging level seemed extraordinarily high. How could he remain unscathed from the force within her hammer strikes?

Compared to Tong Zhan, who had blocked just three or four hammer strikes with his war saber before blood started flowing from his mouth,

Bai Ziyue’s lack of injuries was astounding to her.

Although Yuu Lihua was shocked, Bai Ziyue’s face remained unchanged. He had always displayed his Innate Divine Power traits publicly, so others wouldn’t be too shocked if they noticed the mismatch between his strength and cultivation progress.

He was known as a genius, so his extraordinary power was expected.

The small knife twisted slightly, and his other hand moved like a phantom, swiftly climbing the iron hammer, his feet continuously shifting closer with his arm’s motion.

Celestial Entwining Hand!

If he were facing sharp blades or swords, he wouldn’t dare use the newly learned Celestial Entwining Hand. But with a blunt weapon like an iron hammer, his superior strength assured his confidence.

Yuu Lihua’s face drastically changed, feeling as though under Bai Ziyue’s manipulation, her iron hammer was slipping out of control. Her hands gripped tightly, but a special force made her palms numb, diminishing her power.

"Let go!"

With a burst of power from Bai Ziyue, the iron hammer spun through the air, slipping from Yuu Lihua’s grasp.

This impressive move seemed spectacular, but Bai Ziyue sighed internally, feeling it was still somewhat unrefined.

Utilizing Celestial Entwining Hand’s unique binding, pulling, and hitting techniques, achieving his goal required his immense strength. The actual energy manipulation was still too clumsy.

Just this one thing was enough to cause shock.

The moment her weapon disappeared, Yuu Lihua was flustered. In her fright, she suddenly saw a fist coming toward her, enlarging in her vision, growing bigger and bigger, so gigantic it seemed to cover the entire sky and earth.

When she felt the sky had completely darkened, an intense sense of crisis jolted her awake, and she tried to retreat, her body swaying.

However, by the time she realized it, it was already too late.

One-character Punch!

Bang!

The fist landed.

A clear sound of bones collapsing was heard.

Iron Maiden Yuu Lihua’s forehead suddenly caved in, her brain burst open, and she died!

"Mother..."

Traceless Saber Yuu Fang’s face changed drastically. He had not expected that his mother, who once reached the peak of External Forging, would be defeated by an ordinary-looking youth.

Although he was fearful, he quickly made a decision. With his long sword held horizontally to block Tong Zhan’s attack, he used the force to swiftly and decisively turn around and flee.

"Thinking of escaping now? It’s already too late."

Bai Ziyue advanced steadily, manipulating the small knife in his hands swiftly.

Buzz!

The small knife quivered, with a light tap on its handle.

It shot out like an arrow.

It was the Celestial Entwining Hand’s unique technique of channeling power.

That scene displayed by Sect Leader Liu Dong during the besiegement of the Snake Demon was deeply etched in his memory.

Because he had already understood the changes in power within it, just a little thought allowed him to comprehend some aspects.

Now, although he couldn’t achieve the same smooth and natural execution as his master, with an extraordinary and terrifying level of power, it was already quite impressive.

Sparks glinted as the small knife cut through the sky.

Plop!

The extremely sharp knife directly embedded itself into Yuu Fang’s body, halting his stride.

Immediately after, Tong Zhan swiftly passed by, lifting his long sword.

Plop!

A large head soared into the air.

At this moment, Qin Shaoping on the other side had also finished his fight. Two bandits from Ghost Head Stronghold lay dead on the ground.

As for him, he was injured on his arm from a moment’s carelessness.

Of course, from his excited demeanor, it was evident that he was not seriously hurt.

"Elder Tong, how are your injuries?"

Bai Ziyue looked at Tong Zhan and asked.

Compared to Bai Ziyue and Qin Shaoping, he indeed seemed more battered, with four or five knife wounds on his body and a long blood mark on his mouth, clearly indicating some internal shock injuries.

Yuu Lihua, though only at the peak of External Forging at her best, had actually grasped a technique of inner powerhouses: the Vibration Technique.

Through weapon clashes, it could drive power into an enemy’s body, causing internal injuries.

Tong Zhan was suffering from such injuries.

"Bai Ziyue, thank you for earlier."

Tong Zhan expressed his gratitude before quickly saying, "I’m fine, don’t worry.

Many people have noticed this battle. It’s only a matter of time before the government and our gang’s members arrive. Shaoping, go find Internal Affairs Hall disciples to verify the task. Ziyue, quickly search inside for valuables so we don’t lose out."

The two nodded and went about their tasks.

Meanwhile, Tong Zhan began searching the corpses, soon gathering a pile of items.

Besides silver taels, there were also letters representing the alliance between Iron Maiden and Ghost Head Stronghold.

Before long, Bai Ziyue had gathered a large bundle of items, stripping the valuable ones like locusts.

Shortly after, when Tong Zhan finished tending his wounds, Qin Shaoping arrived with a group.

Among them were Internal Affairs Hall disciples and government soldiers.

The disciples were familiar with each other, even if they couldn’t recall names, they recognized faces. The government soldiers were arresting officers often seen on the streets, with whom Tong Zhan had some connections.

"Is this Iron Maiden Yuu Lihua and her son, Traceless Saber Yuu Fang... What happened?"

The arresting officer was taken aback when he recognized the five dead faces on the ground and looked at Tong Zhan in surprise.

While killing for false credit wasn’t uncommon, these two were known chivalrous figures in Qinghe Town.

His expression changed slightly.

"Chief Xuu, no matter how bold we are, we wouldn’t dare act rashly in front of you. Look at this."

Tong Zhan calmly handed over an envelope.
