Chapter 1487: Chapter 561: Sword Control Through Water (Part 3)
Estimated to be just playing with me... truly despicable!
However, it was not known that this so-called Sword Control Technique was merely Su Mo’s far-fetched concoction for fun.
He used the Water Manipulation Technique from the Circulating Water Force to control the sword with water.
In reality, it was just for show and didn’t have much power.
The reason those four couldn’t resist Su Mo’s ’Flying Sword’ was because when Su Mo performed this ’Flying Sword,’ he used the Water Control Technique, borrowing the power of the sea to drag their longswords.
This was the very method Su Mo was using against the Store Manager now.
Causing the longswords they should have been able to block to lose the opportunity.
Otherwise, if they could really block it, a mere flick would send Su Mo’s ’Flying Sword’ flying away.
With this obstruction, the four were actually killed by the Water Sword’s edge itself, combined with the thrust from the water.
And at this level, it’s already the limit.
If it truly were the Sword Control Technique, wouldn’t it have the ability to pierce through their throats?
The Store Manager didn’t know that even extracting these four swords from their throats would be extremely difficult for Su Mo.
Not to mention some kind of Divine Skill?
But now the Store Manager had already been frightened by Su Mo’s unfathomable methods.
Of course, even if he wasn’t, it actually wouldn’t matter.
From the moment they chose to attack Su Mo underwater, they were essentially courting death.
If Su Mo wanted to kill them, it would only be a matter of a single thought.
At this moment, the Store Manager noticed a faint light appearing above, clearly about to emerge from the water.
A surge of immense hope welled up in his heart.
But just as hope arose within him, a hand clenched the back of his neck.
In an instant, the Store Manager felt his scalp explode.
When did Su Mo catch up?
But before he could turn his head, he felt a piercing pain all over his body.
First the right shoulder, then the left shoulder, then the right leg, followed by the left leg.
His limbs exploded with blood, pierced by the Water Sword.
Pitiful Store Manager, wanting to turn his head but unable to, his neck was still clutched by Su Mo.
Uncontrollably, his body accelerated, bursting out of the water with a spin in mid-air, landing back on the water’s surface.
The Store Manager looked down and saw nine Water Swords, except for the one in his hand, all floating on the sea surface.
Does this make sense?
No matter how buoyant the seawater is, these longswords should sink once in the water.
How could they possibly float like this?
Su Mo stood atop the longswords, with a thought, clutching the Store Manager, heading straight for his big ship.
When they reached the front, he casually tossed the Store Manager onto the ship.
Then crouched down to scoop up the nine Water Swords one by one, hugging them to his chest, and leapt onto the ship.
At this moment, there were no more living people on the ship.
Either they were cold corpses, or they had become mere puppets of water ghosts.
Su Mo, just before boarding the ship, used only one technique, the Mysterious Ghost Fog.
That day, the fifty-plus large ships of the Shimeng Flag invaded, among them, pirates on over ten large ships died under this one move.
The Store Manager’s body was already unable to stand. Looking at the desolate scene on the ship, then turning back to Su Mo, he couldn’t help but feel both horror and fear. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said:
"You... you, are you human or ghost?"
"Perfectly fine, no need to curse."
Su Mo casually tossed the longsword on the ground and asked:
"Is there a sword scabbard?"
"..."
If he weren’t utterly outmatched, the Store Manager would have wanted to curse.
Can’t you control swords?
Just now in the water, didn’t all these Water Swords move at your command?
Why would you need a sword scabbard now?
But these words were ultimately not dared to be spoken.
He could only sigh deeply, pointing Su Mo in the right direction.
A moment later, Su Mo sheathed the nine Water Swords, tied them with a rope, packed them up, and slung them casually on his back. Then, grabbing the Store Manager, he soared into the air, heading towards Cui Xin Temple.
...
...
In the tunnel, before the hidden door.
The fierce battle continued.
Corpses piled up like mountains, Zhou Shucai and Xu Guangjie were already covered in wounds, barely clinging to life.
Jiang Lan, with a few subordinates, continued to battle fiercely with the two-headed monster.
Yet even for Jiang Lan, he was growing increasingly desperate as he fought.
The monster before him seemed immortal and indestructible.
The Qiankun Xin Yi Undying Skill was even more wicked than that ancient [Yin Yang Immortal Order].
The Yin Yang Immortal Order, even if decapitated, had a logical explanation.
If after decapitation the head was taken away, once Yin Yang were separated by a distance, they would eventually die.
The so-called Yin never leaves Yang, Yang never leaves Yin, lies herein.
But the Qiankun Xin Yi Undying Skill was far from simple.
Even if their limbs were severed, they didn’t care at all.
Instead, they seized the moment, snatched human limbs, and after swallowing them whole, could regrow their severed limbs in just moments.
This was something not only unseen but unheard of.
This already departed from the realm of martial arts, resembling Demon Arts.
Moreover, in fighting so far.
Their martial arts became increasingly powerful.
Simultaneously, they grew even more frenzied.
They seemed to have lost their minds, both heads and four eyes filled with blood-red.
Though clearly two people, their hands movements could seamlessly connect, almost like a single person, without the slightest hesitation.
Jiang Lan grew more alarmed, and by now he entertained the thought of retreating.
No matter how strong he was, how could he face a monster?
And at this moment, a series of eerie laughs came from the mouths of Zeng Fu and Zeng Shou.
"Qiankun... Qiankun!
"Xin Yi... Xin Yi!
"Undying Divine Skill!
"Undying Divine Skill!!
"So that’s it... so that’s it!!"
They jeered, their forms flickering near and far, their steps bizarre yet astonishingly profound.
Jiang Lan’s heart sank, his stance shifted, and his copper tobacco pipe struck fiercely.
With a bang! It struck directly between Zeng Fu and Zeng Shou’s heads.
Seized by their two heads, it couldn’t move at all.
Jiang Lan’s eyes widened in shock; even traveling the Jianghu, he feared no one faced such bizarre occurrences.
Was between these two heads considered a vulnerable spot?
In that moment of hesitation, Zeng Fu and Zeng Shou struck with two palms concurrently.
One representing Qian, one representing Kun.
Hearts in sync, Qian and Kun in harmony.
Jiang Lan, having no other choice, released his cherished copper tobacco pipe, and in a swift motion flipped both hands, clashing palms with Zeng Fu and Zeng Shou.
But it shattered upon impact!
Jiang Lan groaned, his entire body being flung away.
Crashing hard into the wall, spitting blood, he looked up only to see Zeng Fu and Zeng Shou clawing down with five fingers, intending to take his life.
By this point, Jiang Lan had no ideas, resigning himself to his fate with closed eyes.
Unexpectedly, though his eyes closed, death did not come.
Instead, a mighty force pulled him away, and reopening his eyes, he found himself relocated.
A voice resonated by his ear:
"Earlier, you mentioned this martial art is called Qiankun Xin Yi Undying Skill?
"But in my opinion, this martial art seems like some old immortal’s eerie creation?
"Glamorously named... Qiankun True Understanding?
"Could it be that the one who taught you this skill is the Longmen Sect Third Jing?"
Jiang Lan hurriedly turned back; indeed, standing beside him was Su Mo.
