Chapter 141 The Heavy Sword Has No Edge
In terms of palm strike, Kanglong Youhui is superior, but in terms of internal energy, Hua Wuque is superior.
Gu Qianbei gained the upper hand by striking first, but his first palm strike posed no threat to Hua Wuque and instead forced him back, demonstrating the difference in their internal strength.
This is not surprising.
Gu Qianbei's cultivation level was two levels lower than Hua Wuque's, so his internal strength was naturally far inferior to Hua Wuque's.
If it were someone else, he could have narrowed the gap by using his superior martial arts techniques, but Hua Wuque also practiced the top-tier martial arts of the Yihua Palace, so the gap could not be narrowed.
Gu Qianbei was not discouraged by the unsuccessful strike, because it was just a test.
He would find it strange if Hua Wuque couldn't even withstand this palm strike.
"Your lightness skill is very fast, but it still can't escape my eyes."
Hua Wuque had already realized that Gu Qianbei's lightness skill was quite extraordinary; otherwise, he wouldn't have been put on the defensive just now.
"Let's try again and see if I can escape your eyes."
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly, then picked up the Cangguang gourd and took a sip of Wangmingyue.
Speed boost 100%!
The cup stopped flying, and crimson sword light condensed!
The sword is complete!
The offensive has resumed!
Gu Qianbei moved with the speed of a whirlwind, leaving no trace as he moved forward or backward.
Six afterimages appeared simultaneously, indistinguishable from reality, rapidly circling around Hua Wuque, dazzling the eye.
Hua Wuque remained calm and still, his expression aloof, but a hint of shock flickered in his eyes.
Because Gu Qianbei's speed was twice as fast as before!
With his cultivation level, even if he used his lightness skill, he couldn't keep up with this speed.
Therefore, his best course of action is to remain calm and wait for the right moment to act.
Being fast doesn't mean being quick to attack. He only needs to counterattack or block quickly when Gu Qianbei attacks to make his speed advantage disappear.
His eyes darted around, quickly scanning for any suspicious traces.
Just then, Gu Qianbei and the six afterimages attacked simultaneously!
Using the extreme speed of the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, his sword moved so fast that it seemed as if seven swords were thrusting out at the same time.
Sitting in a city of sorrow every day!
The blazing, sharp sword energy wove into a net, completely covering Hua Wuque.
Hua Wuque was startled, but his eyes revealed an unshakeable composure.
Suddenly, the folding fan in his hand unfolded, and with a slight twist of his wrist, the fan flicked, deflected, blocked, and slashed, revealing a method of using softness to overcome hardness, thus blocking all of Gu Qianbei's sword techniques.
"This is... a case of substitution!"
Gu Qianbei was secretly alarmed.
Although Hua Wuque used his folding fan to defend himself, it concealed the exquisite palm technique of the Yihua Palace—Yihua Jieyu!
This is a palm technique that uses the opponent's force against them, employing softness to overcome hardness; its power is astonishing.
Although Hua Wuque had not mastered it to perfection, he was more than capable of using the folding fan to block Gu Qianbei's swordsmanship.
No matter how astonishing Gu Qianbei's sword energy was, as long as it struck the fan surface, it vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
Soon, the two had exchanged dozens of blows.
All the onlookers could see were flashes of blue afterimages on the arena, accompanied by scorching sword energy.
The white-robed young man's fan danced in the air, his speed in defending the enemy was just as fast.
The two were fighting so fast that some people could barely see them.
"Such swift lightness skill! Such amazing fan skills! These two are probably unmatched below the Grandmaster level."
Guo Jing praised it repeatedly.
"Indeed. Brother Gu's swordsmanship is quite remarkable, and his lightness skill can be considered the best below the Grandmaster level."
Even so, Hua Wuque remained quite composed in dealing with the situation.
The outcome of this competition is difficult to predict at the moment.
Qiao Feng said in a low voice.
"Master will definitely win!"
Yang Guo, however, had complete confidence in Gu Qianbei.
On the stage, the situation began to change.
A glint of light flashed in Hua Wuque's eyes; he had already figured out the movement trajectory of Feng Wu Liu Huan.
When Gu Qianbei once again used the illusion to get close and slashed out with his sword, the folding fan in his hand suddenly closed, and he used his fingertips to wield the fan as a sword and thrust it straight out!
Sword tip against fan rib!
Hua Wuque precisely locked onto Gu Qianbei's sword momentum at extreme speed, without being disturbed by any other afterimages!
Gu Qianbei's heart skipped a beat, feeling as if his aura had been completely locked, leaving him with no way to escape.
The six afterimages also vanished without a trace.
The next second, the folding fan collided with the sword energy, and a powerful yet gentle internal force surged from the tip of the fan!
Gu Qianbei let out a muffled groan, actually being forced back by this tremendous force until he barely managed to steady himself when he reached the edge of the arena.
In this round, Gu Qianbei was still at a disadvantage.
"Transplanting flowers and adding jade, truly impressive."
Gu Qianbei sighed.
"I never expected you to know about the unparalleled palm techniques of my Yihua Palace."
Hua Wuque asked in surprise.
At this moment, Gu Qianbei already knew that the Hua Wuque in front of him was probably a three-in-one version.
This means the combination of the novel and the two TV series.
Therefore, he is skilled in the Heart-Shattering Palm, the Flower-Shifting Jade Technique, and the Fan Technique.
Hua Wuque was already strong, but now that the game has been unified, his strength has become even more obvious.
"It seems it's still too much of a stretch. After all, there's a two-level difference, so even with the speed advantage, it's difficult to win."
Qiao Feng shook his head.
Given the current situation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Gu Qianbei is unlikely to win.
The experts present also noticed this.
Guo Jing remained silent, his eyes filled with worry.
Huang Rong, on the other hand, was full of curiosity; she wanted to see if Gu Qianbei had any other trump cards up his sleeve.
After all, Gu Qianbei's current performance is like she's constantly revealing her trump cards.
"Hmph, this kid is no match for this demon from the Yihua Palace after all."
Abbess Miejue snorted coldly, but her gaze toward Gu Qianbei had become somewhat solemn.
Even she was somewhat wary of that speed.
Zhou Zhiruo's eyes, however, gleamed with a strange light.
Gu Qianbei's demonstrated strength far exceeded her expectations.
Song Qingshu exclaimed in surprise, "This...this...Manager Gu is actually this amazing?"
He suddenly felt that Gu Qianbei had been playing him when he was at Qianchousi.
At this moment, Gu Qianbei's mind raced as he pondered a way to win.
"This won't do. The mechanism of using someone else's strength to attack them is quite troublesome."
It seems the only option is to use brute force to overcome skill.
A heavy sword has no edge; true skill lies in simplicity!
These eight words instantly flashed into Gu Qianbei's mind. He turned to Yang Guo and called out, "Guo'er, the sword!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo immediately understood.
"Yes, Master, take the sword!"
Yang Guo immediately threw the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword on his back at Gu Qianbei.
The heavy iron sword made a whistling sound in mid-air, which sounded extremely dull.
Gu Qianbei instantly sheathed the Stop Cup Sword, then rushed towards the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, extending his right hand to grasp its hilt!
The power from the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and the Mysterious Serpent Dew made the heavy black iron sword feel as light as nothing in his hands.
But Hua Wuque immediately recognized the sword's extraordinary nature.
"What a heavy sword."
"A heavy sword has no edge; let's see if it can break your 'Transplanting Flowers and Jade' technique!"
