Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 291 You guys are pretty good.

The arrow that came from behind also fell into Xiao Qingyu's field, and its momentum was instantly slowed down.

Zhu Wuyao felt the murderous intent emanating from behind him and instinctively wanted to summon the Wufeng Sword.

She stretched out her right hand, and spiritual energy surged forth, about to activate the fallen leaf pattern created by Danqing Juechao, but then stopped abruptly.

No, no.

Now is definitely not the best time.

The current bladeless sword is simply unable to withstand prolonged combat; its condition is extremely unstable.

Perhaps it can only appear for a moment, and then disappear again in the flickering light and shadow.

She only has one chance to strike!

Now, the arrow and she are both within Xiao Qingyu's domain, and both are slowed down. If she can be faster and get out of the area covered by the rain first, she can neutralize this deadly sword strike.

The enemy came prepared, while we were on the defensive.

Perhaps every instinctive action I take is already within the other person's calculations.

Just as she instinctively descended the distance, she suddenly leaped to the treetop when she was close to the ground, which was already within the opponent's calculations.

Therefore, every action must be taken with utmost care.

If the opponent completely controls the rhythm of the battle, she will be like a duck being forced onto a shelf, constantly moving closer to a dead end!

Shen Xun should not be aware of the state of the Sword Without Edge.

He probably wouldn't have factored in the strength and instability of the bladeless sword, so now it's all about speed!

May you take that first step without being invited.

You have to go against your instincts and let yourself get stuck in the rainy field and escape to the edge.

But the moment she took a step forward, Shen Xun, being the one who was mobile, immediately responded, with countless wind blades soaring into the sky and coming straight at her.

Behind them, Ying Mang, the Soul Chaser Arrow, and Shen Xun, like everyone else, took the same action.

She followed up with an arrow.

This is a target shooting game.

Ying Mang, who is skilled at hunting her prey, would never miss!

With wolves in front and tigers behind, trapped in a quagmire, each one is deadly, let alone all three at once!

If there truly is such a sword that strikes in accordance with the circumstances.

What should it be like?

At the critical moment of life and death, Zhu Wuyao's heart leaped, but was forcibly calmed down, and her gaze instantly became steady.

If there truly is a sword strike that follows the natural flow of the situation—

It should have arrived abruptly, but when it actually struck that spot, it seemed as if it was meant to be, as if it had always been there.

Qi Suowei only needed one sword strike.

But it just so happened to cut off all the lightning.

All those things poised to launch, flying like snakes and dragons, about to fall—all uneven and of varying lengths—will eventually meet in a fleeting moment.

There's always that one perfect moment when you're about to unleash a sword strike, and then, the sword arrives!

This is to take advantage of the situation.

Like now!

Behind him, an arrow was slowly approaching, followed by another arrow in pursuit, while from all directions, countless wind blades were about to strike.

Xiao Qingyu's domain slowed everything down.

Therefore, it becomes clearer.

In Zhu Wuyao's eyes, countless lines of varying lengths seemed to flash, moving and wandering, eventually settling into that perfect moment.

Time and space are stretched infinitely in thought, and Zhu Wuyao's hearing, sight, and senses work together to make a judgment.

then.

The bladeless sword suddenly appeared in his right hand. As he swung his arm from left to right, a powerful sword intent swept outwards.

The wind blades all around trembled slightly, seemingly changing direction a little, but they were still coming!

I didn't go to see it again after being invited.

"Qiang!"

When an arrow was three inches from his back, Zhu Wuyao turned around and slashed accurately at the tip of the arrow with his bladeless sword.

This strike, while failing to sever the arrow, successfully reversed its direction!

It is about to meet the second incoming arrow head-on!

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Wuyao immediately stepped forward the instant he turned to strike, following behind the first arrow and facing the second one head-on.

The surrounding wind blades continued their previous trajectory, still closely following behind Zhu Wuyao.

What is a Soul-Chasing Arrow?

Of course it can automatically lock onto the target!

However, if you go astray, it takes time to change direction.

Everything is just right!

The first arrow slowed its momentum as it tried to readjust its direction, but was intercepted by the second arrow coming from the opposite direction. The moment the arrow was destroyed, it caused a slight ripple in the rainy field.

The later arrow, after breaking the first arrow that had been turned around, continued forward.

Zhu Wuyao simply took a step to the left.

Just a small step.

At a distance of two inches in front of him, the arrow plunged straight into the vortex of swirling wind blades, creating an even more intense shockwave in the rainy field.

Despite the aftershocks of their collision, Zhu Wuyao seized the moment when the field fluctuated, immediately activated his escape technique, and stepped forward, falling down.

Then they fled.

The assassination gang was left with three shocked faces.

From their perspective—

Zhu Wuyao was surrounded and attacked from all sides; he should have died a horrible death!

This should have been a certain death situation...

But she... but she only drew her sword once!

However, this caused the arrow to be destroyed, the wind to whirl, and the rain-soaked area to fluctuate violently, thus resolving the deadly threat.

He only used one sword!

All crises have been resolved.

May Wu Yao depart gracefully.

Ying Mang slung her bow and arrows back over her shoulder and joined the other two. A long silence fell over the three of them. She broke the silence and asked:

"Did you see it?"

Xiao Qingyu nodded heavily and said, "I saw it. She didn't even use any protective magic artifacts or secret treasures. She used only one sword to avert a life-or-death crisis."

Then he turned to look at Shen Xun and asked:

"Did you know she was this strong?"

Shen Xun pursed his lips, then shook his head. Zhu Wuyao's casual sword strike and carefree departure had given him a strong shock.

If he were in that situation, he definitely wouldn't have been able to handle it so effortlessly.

If Zhu Wuyao had been struggling and barely managed to cope, ultimately escaping with only minor injuries, it wouldn't have shocked the three of them so much.

But she only used one sword...

From the moment Zhu Wuyao drew her sword, swung it, and slashed down, to when she turned and stepped forward, dodging the attack, breaking through the life-or-death crisis and swaggering away, only a few breaths passed.

It seemed as if there was no hesitation whatsoever.

It seemed so casual and effortless, like a deadly trap set up by the three of them together, but it was just a trick that could be easily seen through and cut down with a single sword strike.

The shock of that sword strike was so great that they didn't dare to continue the pursuit.

That fearless figure...

Zhu Wuyao fled rapidly towards the direction of the Star-Picking Tower.

I was so scared! I was so scared!

This is the worst humiliation I've ever experienced since entering the world of cultivation. It's outrageous!

I almost died!!!

That was truly a close call. If she hadn't been pondering Qi Suowei's sword strike the whole way, and hadn't gained enlightenment in the face of danger, unleashing that ultimate sword strike, she probably would have lost her life here!

It's truly infuriating that they let her escape in such a sorry state, that they made her flee in such a panic...

You guys are pretty good!
