“Maintain it!” Lu Zhangke and He Biweng shouted collectively. They raised their palms on the identical time and attacked Zhou Zhiruo from left and proper.
Zhou Zhiruo brandished her sword; it appeared like a silver snake dancing wildly beneath the moonlight. The Xuan Ming Elders parried her assaults with a workers and a pair of pens.
Zhang Wuji had seen Zhou Zhiruo’s whip approach. This time he noticed that her sword emits a mysterious ray, shifting out and in in protection and offense within the midst of two martial artwork masters’ converging assault. Her stances irregularly diversified between pretend and actual; it appeared like her actions had been filled with tips.
After preventing for greater than a number of dozens stances, Zhou Zhiruo’s sword strikes had been rising even stranger. Not less than seven of the ten stances had been swift and fierce offensive strikes. Zhang Wuji knew that she wished to get away from the enemies, however her inside power would truly deplete quicker by preventing like this. If she had been a bit careless, she would face a mortal hazard. Zhang Wuji was deeply involved. He stepped out from behind the tree and quietly walked a number of steps nearer.
Instantly Zhou Zhiruo set free a shout and swiftly stabbed Lu Zhangke thrice. Lu Zhangke stepped sideways to evade. Proper this second, He Biweng threw his pair of pens towards her again with a full drive. The pens clashing with one another midair and altered course; one flew in the direction of the again of her head, the opposite flew in the direction of the again of her waist.
Zhou Zhiruo heard the wind of the weapons behind her again and ducked; however she didn’t anticipate the pens would collide in midair and alter their programs. As she ducked, one pen struck her brow. For sure, she couldn’t keep away from the crane-beak pen threatening her waist.
Rapidly Zhang Wuji leaped to catch the crane-beak pen, whereas sweeping his palm horizontally towards He Biweng. In her shock, Zhou Zhiruo was at a loss for a break up second, and Lu Zhangke’s palm got here floating evenly towards her decrease stomach. It was not a small matter, because it was the ‘xuan ming shen zhang’ [black/mysterious divine palm]. Zhou Zhiruo stopped respiratory and fainted directly.
Zhang Wuji was significantly shocked; throwing the crane-beak pen in his hand, he reached backward to catch Zhou Zhiruo, after which leaped greater than a ‘zhang’ backwards.
“Xuan Ming Er Lao!” he roared, “Do not you could have any face?”
Lu Zhangke laughed out loud and stated, “I used to be questioning who dares to come back and meddle with our enterprise; seems it’s Zhang Da Jiaozhu [great cult leader]. The place is our Junzhu Niangniang [princess]? The place did you are taking her after kidnapping her?”
Zhao Min stepped out from behind the tree; taking Zhou Zhiruo from Zhang Wuji’s arms, she softly laughed and stated, “Mr. Lu, you’re head over heels longing after me; aren’t you afraid Father could be indignant with you?”
“Little witch,” Lu Zhangke angrily stated, “You sowed dissension between us, brothers. We’ve severed any relationship together with your father early on. Why would Ruyang Prince being indignant or not concern me?”
Seeing how Lu Zhangku struck a vicious blow to injure Zhou Zhiruo, after which spoke rudely to Zhao Min, Zhang Wuji additionally recalled how these two males had triggered him numerous sufferings with their ‘xuan ming shen zhang’when he was a toddler; his previous hatred was rekindled. In that second, his blood was boiling inside his chest. “Min Mei, again off,” he stated, “Simply taking a look at these two previous chaps is making me indignant. I have to struggle them properly as we speak.”
Seeing that Zhang Wuji was barehanded, the 2 elders laid down their weapons and waited with targeted consideration.
“On guard!” Zhang Wuji shouted and launched the ‘lan qiao wei’ [seizing the bird’s tail] stance; his palms struck out collectively. This stance was a part of the Taiji Fist approach, the motion was very gradual, however the energy behind it was from his Jiu Yang Shen Gong.
Though Taiji Fist is frequent for the later generations, not too many Wulin folks had been even conscious of its existence on the time proper after Zhang Sanfeng developed it. Lu Zhangke had by no means seen this type of comfortable, seemingly powerless palm approach; naturally, he didn’t know what sort of trick was hidden on this palm assault. He was extraordinarily afraid of Zhang Wuji, therefore he didn’t dare to satisfy his palm and leaned sideways to evade.
Zhang Wuji circled and with ‘bai she tu yan’ [white snake spitting words] his left palm struck He Biweng, whereas his proper palm shook out and in randomly. He Biweng pointed his left hand index finger to the middle of Zhang Wuji’s palm, his proper palm swept diagonally down towards Zhang Wuji’s decrease stomach.
Zhang Wuji had fought the Xuan Ming Elders a number of occasions; he knew these two males weren’t his match. In comparison with Du E and the opposite, the three monks whom he encountered in his most up-to-date three battles, these two had been a stage under when it comes to their depth in martial artwork abilities. So if he wished to defeat these two, he ought to have greater than sufficient to spare. Nevertheless, these two’s talent was, in spite of everything, not superficial. Subsequently, Zhang Wuji didn’t dare to be reckless. He launched Taiji Fist to its fullest potential; creating circle after circle, with Jiu Yang Shen Gong struck out from typically straight, someday slanting circles.
The Xuanming Elders progressively felt the ‘yang’ power burning fiercely; whereas the ‘yin’ and chilly power of their very own ‘Xuan Ming Shen Zhang’ was regularly compelled again by the opponent.
After preventing for greater than 100 stances, by probability Zhang Wuji circled and noticed two darkish shadows shiver on the bottom. The moon had solid its shadow on Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo. His coronary heart skipped a beat. Zhao Min gave the impression to be shaking uncontrollably whereas she was preventing to maintain Zhou Zhiruo in her arms.
“Not good!” Zhang Wuji was secretly alarmed, “After taking Previous Lu’s ‘xuan ming shen zhang’, I’m afraid Zhou Zhiruo can’t face up to it. The power cultivation she skilled was ‘yin’ and chilly in nature. Now that she obtained Xuan Ming Shen Zhang which is the world’s coldest and most toxic power, chilly on prime of chilly, apparently even Min Mei will not be capable of endure it.” Thereupon he elevated his effort to press Lu Zhangke.
Lu Zhangke seen the change in Zhang Wuji’s fist approach; he guessed Zhang Wuji’s intentions appropriately. Leaping sideways to evade, he known as out, “Shidi, encompass him; that girl surnamed Zhou is having a cold-poison assault. Do not let him assist her.”
“Actually,” He Biweng replied. Leaping out of the circle, he picked up his pair of crane-beak pens and with the ‘tong tian che di’ [going through the sky and penetrating the earth], his pens smashed in from prime and backside.
Zhang Wuji smiled barely and stated, “With or with out weapons, it is all the identical!” With a shout his palm struck; the gust of wind generated was so sturdy that He Biweng was gasping for breath.
Lu Zhangke reached again for his deer-antler workers and swept it towards Zhang Wuji’s waist. Zhang Wuji successively modified his fist strategies; now he launched the thirty-six model (or type) ‘lengthy zhua qin na shou’ [dragon claw ‘grab and capture’ or grappling technique] he realized from Shaolin Divine Monk Kong Xing, the ‘fu qin shi’ [zither playing form], ‘gu se shi’ [drum beating form], ‘bu feng shi’ [wind grasping form], and ‘bao can shi’ [destruction carrying form], all with very sturdy offensive energy.
“This Dragon Claw talent may be very properly skilled,” Lu Zhangke known as out, “Afterward it will likely be very helpful to dig a gap within the floor; no mistake about it.”
“Shige,” He Biweng replied, “Why do we’d like a gap within the floor?”
Lu Zhangke laughed, “That Miss Zhou goes to die; after all we’d like a gap to bury her!”
