Chapter 18 Fighting Requires Brains
Ye Yang saw the opponent's characteristic soft sword.
Recalling what the men in the tavern had said earlier, he thought of the opponent's name.
"You are a Disciple of the Flying Heaven Gate?"
Lu Qi's pupils constricted. If others knew him, they would naturally know his attack methods.
Conversely, he knew nothing about his opponent.
An ordinary steel saber, an ordinary appearance, ordinary clothes.
He was not like Wang Dong of the Flying Heaven Gate, who was arrogant and looked down on others.
Nor was he like Li Bayuan, the “Tiger of Flying Heaven,” who was widely renowned, and even less like Zhang Bu'er, “Hero Sanlang,” who had a kind Dao Heart.
As for Yan Qingying, there was no need to mention her; the gender didn't match.
But the more such a person was, the more dangerous he was, because he knew nothing about the opponent, not knowing the opponent's attack methods or weaknesses.
He didn't know that Ye Yang was low-key within the Flying Heaven Gate and rarely ventured out.
Even among the Sect's Disciples, besides knowing he was skilled in saber techniques, they knew absolutely nothing about his Cultivation Technique or how he attacked.
Let alone outsiders of the Sect.
However, this did not hinder Lu Qi's attack. He twirled the soft sword in his hand into a sword flower and attacked Ye Yang from the four directions of southeast, northwest. Ye Yang, on the other hand, retreated towards the Immortal Cave entrance.
Lu Qi was worried about a trick and did not enter the Immortal Cave, remaining still.
Ye Yang knew he was a cautious person.
In the Immortal Realm, caution allowed one to live better.
Caution could lead one a thousand miles, while recklessness made it difficult to move an inch.
But Ye Yang was even more cautious than him.
Lu Qi pointed his sword at Wang Huan.
"If you stay in the Immortal Cave and don't come out, I'll finish him with one sword strike."
But Ye Yang was completely unfazed, as if he hadn't heard, not taking him seriously at all.
Lu Qi was furious but forced himself to calm down.
Just as his emotions fluctuated and his mind was momentarily distracted.
A figure, like Mount Tai pressing down, swung his saber and attacked him.
The terrain here was narrow, and Lu Qi was unfamiliar with it, so even if he used all his martial arts, he could barely parry.
Ye Yang struck with a saber, each strike faster than the last.
Under the Frost Wind Saber Technique, frost condensed all around, and cold winds gusted.
The temperature in this small space quickly dropped, further stiffening Lu Qi's body.
Lu Qi's sword-wielding speed gradually slowed.
At a crucial moment, Lu Qi flashed his body, quickly turned the hilt of his soft sword to block the saber blade, and swept the sword body horizontally towards Ye Yang's waist.
He threw out a golden-yellow talisman from his hand.
The talisman transformed into a flying locust sword light and struck out again.
Ye Yang saw that the opponent's flying locust sword talisman was coming fiercely and dared not block it with his body. He tapped his foot and leaped up to avoid the strike.
Lu Qi was overjoyed at this, and while Ye Yang's body was suspended and had not yet landed, he swept towards Ye Yang's foot, intending to sever Ye Yang's ankle.
But Ye Yang had already anticipated this move. Before the soft sword arrived, he slanted his right foot and stepped on the rock wall.
He used the momentum to exert force, not only not falling but instead leaping several feet higher to the left.
After Ye Yang's evasion, the soft sword only touched Ye Yang's calf, producing a sound like tearing cloth. Ye Yang did not scream in agony as he had imagined.
Instead, he took advantage of Lu Qi's sword strike to feint a move, and saber light attacked from below.
Mid-air, the saber light suddenly split, the saber aura surged, and the saber light actually divided into ten, striking forward.
One Saber Ten Kills!
The ultimate technique he had just comprehended.
Amidst the ten dazzling saber lights, Ye Yang, with astonishing speed, plunged into Lu Qi's waist and abdomen.
Blood splattered!
Lu Qi clutched his wound, his face pale.
"One Saber Ten Kills! To be able to comprehend One Saber Ten Kills, you are definitely not an ordinary person. Who exactly are you? I've never heard of you among the young Disciples of the Flying Heaven Gate."
Lu Qi shouted, but Ye Yang still did not answer him. He took advantage of his illness to take his life!
"Villains die because they talk too much!"
Ye Yang silently recited, and the steel saber in his hand swung faster. With a 'puchi' sound, another saber aura slashed into Lu Qi's thigh.
Blood splattered, spraying onto Ye Yang's face.
But Ye Yang was completely unaffected. He flipped the saber hilt with both hands, the blade facing upwards, preparing to directly cut open Lu Qi's stomach.
Lu Qi shouted, “Not good!”
At this moment, he was extremely weak, but he didn't know where a surge of malevolence came from. He continuously unleashed a stack of talismans with both hands.
The talismans were activated by spiritual power, transforming into flying locust sword lights that rained down.
He frantically fled towards the outside of the Immortal Cave.
"Want to run? Have you asked me yet?"
Although Lu Qi fled quickly, he was still in a hurry and was cut by Ye Yang's saber tip on his back, leaving several blood grooves four or five inches long.
On the other side, flying locust swords rained down like raindrops. Ye Yang no longer had time to dodge.
He could only swing the steel saber in his hand while relying on the inner armor made from the skin of a fierce Giant Crocodile.
Clang, clang! Clang, clang!
The steel saber was swung in full circles, defending all around so tightly that not even a breath could pass. Most of the flying locust swords were blocked, and a small portion of sword light passed through the defensive net formed by the saber circles, striking his body.
However, the steel saber and the Giant Crocodile inner armor had absorbed most of the force, causing him no harm.
When he stood firm, he realized that Lu Qi had already fled to who knows where.
Wang Huan, on the side, looked at Ye Yang with envy. These Sect Disciples were indeed different, possessing both resources and guidance from famous masters.
Whether in combat, talent, or cultivation, they far surpassed these Loose Cultivators who scraped for food in the fields and made a living in the mountains.
However, he heard that a certain Sect seemed to want to recruit his master.
If his master joined the Sect, wouldn't he also rise in status and become a Sect Disciple?
Wang Huan thought to himself.
Lu Qi fled, and Ye Yang did not pursue him further. Instead, he quietly digested the combat experience from just now.
The power of One Saber Ten Kills left him quite satisfied.
After passing through another stone Immortal Cave, his vision suddenly opened up, and he had actually reached the mountain peak.
Everyone thought that Shaoyang Cave was an Immortal Cave, and even Ye Yang thought so, but he never expected that there would be a world of its own inside the Immortal Cave, with the cave directly leading to the mountain peak.
