King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 956: Chapter 267: Sword Shadows and Blade Lights in the Inn, Heroic Passions Clash in Battle

Shi Xiong’s eyes were wide open, fixed on the white-robed scholar trapped in the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net, with the Poisoned Horned Cone in his hand moving with precision, each swing bringing forth a piercingly cold gleam.

The cold gleam cut through the air in deadly arcs, resembling shooting stars flickering in the dark night, yet carrying a fatal aura.

These gleams placed the white-robed scholar in a dilemma within the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net.

He had to vigorously swing the treasure sword in his hand to cut through the incredibly tough Celestial Silkworm Silk Net, trying to escape this prison-like confinement; all while staying alert for the sudden strikes of the Poisoned Horned Cone, which, with a whistling sound, seemed like a relentless harbinger of death attacking from cunning angles.

The white-robed scholar, at this moment, resembled an ant on a hot stove, flustered and disoriented.

Beads of sweat, large as soybeans, rolled down his forehead like broken strings of pearls, sliding down his face twisted by terror.

His breathing was as rapid as a bellows, each gasp accompanied by a heavy "huff" sound, resembling an oil lamp about to burn out with increasingly weak breath. His facial expression became more frantic, despair filled his eyes, akin to a trapped and isolated beast, hopelessly struggling within the narrow confines of the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net.

Just when everyone thought the white-robed scholar was about to surrender, and the thrilling battle was drawing to a close, an unexpected change occurred. The green-robed scholar, engaged in fierce combat with Guo Xiangyu, inadvertently caught sight of the white-robed scholar in such dire straits, his heart tightened suddenly, as if grasped by an invisible hand.

He knew well that if the white-robed scholar were captured, they would face inevitable catastrophe.

Immediately, he feigned a move, the jade flute in his hand slicing through the air in an eerie arc, pretending to launch a full-force attack.

Guo Xiangyu was startled by this and urgently raised his bamboo knife to defend.

However, the green-robed scholar’s move was just a feint; taking advantage of Guo Xiangyu’s defensive posture, his figure flickered like a phantom, fast as lightning, rushing towards Xie Wen and Shi Xiong, his speed akin to a sweeping gale.

As the green-robed scholar approached, he swung his jade flute, unleashing a fierce gust that roared from the flute like an invisible dragon, swiftly assaulting Xie Wen. This move aimed to disrupt Xie Wen, and rescue the white-robed scholar.

Xie Wen, known as the "Flying Eagle Detective," had extremely keen senses and instantly felt the impending danger.

His expression changed slightly, like a streak of lightning across a cold night, a resolve flashed in his eyes.

At that moment, he had to sidestep to dodge, the harsh wind brushed past his attire, bringing a chill.

Due to this, the force of his attack with the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net also halted momentarily, revealing a slight flaw in the tightly woven net.

The white-robed scholar seized this fleeting opportunity, enduring excruciating pain like being cut by a thousand knives, he mobilized the remaining True Qi within him.

His treasure sword erupted with a dazzling light, akin to the dawn before daybreak, yet carrying endless intent to kill.

He unleashed the fierce "Light-Splitting Shadow Sword," the ultimate technique of his sect, the sword move produced countless shadows, like numerous treasure swords striking simultaneously. Under the power of this formidable sword move, the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net enveloping him was forcibly torn with a large opening, the resilient Celestial Silkworm Silk snapping apart with a "chi chi" sound.

The white-robed scholar saw this, a gleam of wild joy flashed in his eyes, and his figure flickered, like a runaway wild horse, attempting to escape through the gap.

Seeing this, Shi Xiong became extremely anxious, like a fire burning his eyebrows.

He shot the Poisoned Horned Cone in his hand towards the white-robed scholar like a torrential downpour, the cone traced black trajectories in the air, whistling sharply, resembling a swarm of black arrows.

The white-robed scholar swung his treasure sword to block the Poisoned Horned Cone, the clash between the treasure sword and the cone produced crisp "dang dang" sounds; while he scrambled towards the courtyard’s exit, his steps were frantic and hurried, akin to a rabbit being chased by a hunter.

Xie Wen snorted coldly, his voice echoed like a bronze gong in the tense atmosphere.

A fierce gaze flashed in his eyes, like a wolf’s eyes in a cold night, emitting a chilling light.

His toes lightly tapped the ground, his figure shot towards the white-robed scholar like an arrow released from a bow, his speed dazzlingly swift.

As he closed in on the white-robed scholar, suddenly a hidden weapon appeared in his hand, gleaming coldly in the dim moonlight.

With a flick of his wrist, the hidden weapon shot towards the white-robed scholar’s back like a moon-chasing meteor.

The hidden weapon carried a whistling sound, akin to a meteor dragging a long tail, tearing through the night sky.

The white-robed scholar sensed the danger behind him, and was shocked, wishing to dodge.

However, at this moment, Shi Xiong’s Poisoned Horned Cone had already reached his chest, leaving him with no choice but to swing the sword to block the cone at his chest.

In this fleeting moment, it was too late for him to evade the hidden weapon behind.

A muffled "puff" was heard, as the hidden weapon hit his back precisely.

He staggered, his steps stumbled, like a weak candle in a gale, teetering on the brink.

Xie Wen seized this moment, determination flashed in his eyes, he threw the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net once more.

The net swiftly unfurled in the air, like a silver curtain falling from the sky, enveloping the white-robed scholar once again.

Then, exerting force with both hands, his arms tensed with muscles bulging and veins popping, he lifted the white-robed scholar trapped within the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net alive.
