Even though the short and skinny man was old, his temper was short. The silver hooks slipped out from his hand, a silver light blinked, as though a new moon had appeared out of thin air.
It may look captivating, but it was actually formidable.
Despite the silver hooks coming in rapidly, it was not as quick as the man in green.
A piece of wooden chopstick lightly touched the silver hooks. With a slight steer, the silver hooks made a detour.
The petite old man pulled an iron bridge maneuver and very dangerously managed to dodge it, but there were two bloody gashes on his chest.
He panicked as he tapped on his chest with his fingers, taking out a small porcelain bottle and poured a few pills into his mouth.
It turned out that the petite old man was a malicious fellow, there was poison laced all over the pair of silver hooks and it would have been fatal if it came in contact with his blood. It was absolutely necessary to take the antidote within a very short period of time to keep on living.
The man in green had established himself with just that one attack, he had truly showed his awe-inspiring specialty.
The Golden Blade King ignored the elderly man with a solemn face and his feet standing in the position that resembled the directions of the eight trigrams. From left to right, the cane knife was dragged across the floor leaving deep knife marks as sparks flew in all four directions.
The Golden Blade King's walking got faster and faster, there were steaming white gas coming from the top of his head, many phantoms of him emerged unexpectedly, it was difficult to differentiate the real person from the phantoms.
Suddenly, the gleam of his blade moved and came in torrenting through the white gas.
The man in green raised his brows, this knife method was actually derived from the sword move, Endless River Pouring In. The attack was not only an astonishing one, it was also endless.
The Golden Blade King was born with superhuman strengths. His martial arts skills, both internal and external, were profound. He was already a first-class figure of Jianghu and was clearly not to be underestimated.
Undeniably the short and skinny elderly man had made an ominous reputation for his own but his expertise lied in the meticulous hooking skills and highly toxic weapons. He was very aggressive, however, he was not as stately and domineering as the Golden Blade King when it came down to his martial art skills and inner Qi.
In these recent years, he had been able to apply some of the subtle essences of martial arts. He was no longer at the level when he was forced to flee the Gobi desert.
The martial arts of the Gobi desert had a natural law to it that even came with the fun of life and death fighting. It was concise, which allowed his martial art to transition from something complicated to something simple. Hence, he was able to catch a glimpse of the weakness in the elderly man's hooking skills.
The ability to reverse the silver hooks with a chopstick may seem like it was something casual but this was the signature of his martial art.
The Golden Blade King was unstoppable, the Qi of his blade was like the Changjiang River rushing to the sea, and there was no turning back at all.
The gleam of the blade was quick, but the man in green was quicker, with one hand he picked up the young beggar boy, and on the other hand, he took up a bench.
Even though the Golden Blade King's cane knife was long, it was not as long as the bench.
The man in green infused his inner Qi into the bench. It was made of no less than ordinary metal, and it broke through the rolling gleam of the blade with a slanted strike.
Like a dragon entering the sea to summon and command the rain and the wind.
Even though the bench was used as a weapon, what he applied was the knife method. It looked like it was going straight ahead, but the truth was there were hidden changes that countered the weak points.
The gleam of the Golden Blade King's cane knife caused the food on the table to fall all over the floor as the bench strangled the blade. The man in green, however, lifted the young beggar and moved ten steps away to the doorway.
Shen Lian was on alert and ducked to a side, avoiding the calamity.
However, the man in green could not get out because there were five gleaming swords that pointed at exactly five parts of his body which were each of his limbs and head in a fashionable order.
After the man in green took a step back, he thrust one palm out ferociously, there was a chilling gust of howling wind and several groans were heard, one of them called out: The Deity Vanquishing Sword.
The Golden Blade King was behind the man in green who brought the young beggar along, in front of him however were swordsmen in identical outfits.
The leader of the five people was a middle-aged man and a green scarf was wrapped around his head, it was the leader of the Green Bamboo Sect.
The faces of the five swordsmen were ashen. Save for the leader of the Green Bamboo Sect, the other four were squatted down as they held their heads and even the swords in their hand were thrown away. The pain was indeed too overwhelming for them.
The man in green had used the martial art that he was proudest of in his entire life—Deity Vanquishing Sword.
The man in green stood regally, with only one attack he had injured the five internal best fighters of the leader of the Green Bamboo Sect, acting as though it was an easy matter of fact of him to do so.
Shen Lian could not help but admit that even though this person was arrogant, but he was the real deal.
At the same time he could help but be struck dumb with amazement, this was still when the man in green had allowed himself to be in a situation where he was voluntarily injured and he was not in his prime yet.
The Golden Blade King dragged his knife till he was behind the man in green. Nevertheless, he felt a disdain to make a move, his reputation was prominent and his martial art skills were outstanding, he would never commit a shameful action such as hurting someone from behind.
He was also taken aback when he heard the Deity Vanquishing Sword. He did not think that the man in green had integrated the Deity Vanquishing Sword into the palm method, that there was no need of a medium at all.
He was very knowledgeable and certainly understood that even when your martial art skills were ever-changing, it could not compare to the Dao technique. And the Deity Vanquishing Sword was the few codex of the sword that was known to be a Dao technique within Jianghu.
This was also the forbidden art passed down among the chief of his teachers. It has been passed down for safekeeping, but none were not allowed to practice it.
The man in green thought that his talent was matchless but he could never be as good as his senior fellow apprentice, Ling Chongxiao. Deeply dissatisfied, he finally deceived and slaughtered his mentor to obtain the secret text of the Deity Vanquishing Sword.
The Deity Vanquishing Sword lived up to its name as a mysterious lost knowledge of the Dao technique, its power was extensive which made it incomprehensible for outsiders. The man in green had even mastered it in a short period of time and by using the Deity Vanquishing Sword, he had murdered a few of his friends who wanted to avenge their mentor. It was not until later when his senior fellow apprentice, Ling Chongxiao, who had returned from the outside seas and hunted him down, causing him to be exiled to the Gobi desert.
However, it was only last year that the man in green had once again returned from the Gobi desert and committed major crimes in several state capitals, which alerted the Ministry of Justice who despite losing a few martial art experts, failed in apprehending him.
As for the man in green's senior fellow apprentice, Ling Chongxiao, abandoned the sword and entered into Dao, he retired into the deep mountains where not many knew about his whereabouts.
Or else, with the ocean-deep like hatred between the two of them, there would already have been a huge battle.
Without a doubt, there was word in Jianghu that Ling Chongxiao's martial art skills have entered the 'concentrated' stage. Knowing almost every Dao technique and supernatural powers, if he was around, the man in green would not have possibly dared to leave the Gobi desert.
Although today, it seemed like the man in green had already integrated the Deity Vanquishing Sword into the palm method, his martial art skills were magnificent, to be able to injure five masters with only one strike of his palm was truly a terrifying feat.
No matter how profound your martial arts skills were, you were still of the physical flesh and it was impossible to defeat a group of people when you are alone.
It was extremely monstrous to assault the five internal masters of the Green Bamboo Sect's leader with just one technique.
The Golden Blade King jarred internally, however it was not because he had already admitted defeat, it was just the fact that it was hard for him to wrap his head around on what made the Deity Vanquishing Sword so formidable.
The reason was even though there was some coolness that came out from that strike of the palm, it was nothing along the lines of lost knowledge of the ice palm. Furthermore, there were barely any trembles of essential Qi and yet the five people could not stand against it and were injured for no reason.
Although the leader of the Green Bamboo Sect was still standing, his entire body was trembling and he could not even hold his sword properly.
This was not the worst of it still because the leader of the Green Bamboo Sect found out that he could not muster a wisp of inner Qi. The blast from the palm of the man in green was like witchcraft, it gave him a splitting headache and he was completely unable to focus his attention.
He knew that this was the effect of the Deity Vanquishing Sword, but while he was feeling the pain, it was still difficult for him to figure out what happened exactly with the Deity Vanquishing Sword.
Shen Lian was in a corner far away, he was one with his environment and did not draw the attention of others.
He saw the palm strike used by the man in green and a question arose at the same time.
The blast from the palm was actually the power of the spirit, the man in green actually used his own power of the spirit to attack others.
Even though the short and skinny man was old, his temper was short. The silver hooks slipped out from his hand, a silver light blinked, as though a new moon had appeared out of thin air.
It may look captivating, but it was actually formidable.
