Chapter 450: Chapter 307: Golden Stick! 18 Absolute Skills! [Vote for Monthly Ticket!]_2
Upon mounting the stage—
"Hey!"
"Chen Ze!"
"Take my staff!"
With a loud shout from Xin Huan, he noticed the gap after exchanging several blows with Chen Ze, decisively discarded the iron rod in his hand, pulled out a golden needle from his ear, and shouted ’Enlarge’, instantly growing the needle into a ’Golden Stick’—
With it in his hand, it danced wildly up and down, circling with the sound of wind and rain, moving with the momentum of a dragon or snake, turning as fierce as a tiger, rising and falling like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, roaring with vigor and blazing brightly, unfolding a brilliant display in the air, with a myriad of flowers blossoming all around.
What a staff!
What a treasure!
With the ’Golden Stick’ in hand, Xin Huan’s power was enhanced more than tenfold!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
"Such immense strength!"
Chen Ze’s dual swords glancingly struck the golden stick, feeling his palm numb and sore, the force transmitted surpassing even the powerful ’Chufeng’ Sun Guifen!
Dual Sword Fusion!
Originally in a chaotic slaughter, Chen Ze was now being suppressed by the relentless pursuit of Xin Huan wielding the golden stick.
"Is that his Third-Rank Treasure?"
Wang Zhengyi observed without fear: "Brother Chen, I’ll help you!"
He shook his spear and joined the fray.
However, Xin Huan, wielding the ’Golden Stick’, faced them both without fear, leaping angrily into the air, the golden stick slashing like a rainbow. In an instant, the wind roared across the world, thunder resonated across the universe. His ferocity likened to a bird with mighty wings, fierce and ominous like a demon bear from Ghost Mountain. From this moment, the peak’s courage faltered, surrender pronounced ultimate defeat.
Peak forced to retreat!
Defeat inevitable!
Remarkable Xin Huan, initially unknown, now sweeping the field with his staff, suppressing top experts Wang Zhengyi and Chen Ze, who were capable of competing with acclaimed figures.
Chen Ze struggled to retaliate!
Even Wang Zhengyi was retreating step by step!
Yan Chuan stood by, unhurried to join the fight, observing while holding the ’White Horn Trumpet’, clarifying his own thoughts:
"Move, and it’s void; change, and it’s void; labor, and it’s void; bend, and it’s void; short, and it’s void; rigid, and it’s void; retreat, and it’s void—these are the ’Seven Voids’. "
"Still, and it’s real; effortless, and it’s real; straightforward, and it’s real; upright, and it’s real; long, and it’s real; soft, and it’s real; advance, and it’s real—these are the ’Seven Realities’. "
"Seven Voids and Seven Realities!"
"This is ’Hidden Dragon’s’ fifty-third ’Five Arhats’ Murong Chong’s ’Ten Great Sticks’!"
...
"Wrest, grip, slice, crumble, poke, hook, twist, cover, press, grind, push, jab!"
"These are the ’Twelve Methods’!"
"One Tiger Descends the Southern Mountain, Two Tigers Subdue the Flood Dragon, Three Tigers Scatter the Sheep, Four Tigers Battle the Golden Wind, Five Tigers Pierce the Face — This is called ’Five Tigers Break the Gate’!"
"This is ’Chufeng’s’ fifteenth ’Ghost Shadow’ Guo Xi’s ’Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear’!"
...
"Mixed Element Qi Returning to Origin Skill, Double Dragon Catching Whiskers Dance in the Air."
"Jab, thrust, poke, crumble, roll, smash, shake, entwine, frame, grind, block, but with emphasis on the word ’grind’!"
"The Golden Stick grinds away!"
"Between clashes, the Golden Stick contains a peculiar strength that wears away opponents’ inner strength, neutralizing all resistance to ultimately overtake and defeat foes!"
"This is ’Hidden Dragon’s’ fourteenth ’Sangmen Spear’ Gao Changyi’s ’Azure Dragon Spear’!"
...
Murong Chong, ’Ten Great Sticks’!
Guo Xi, ’Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear’!
Gao Changyi, ’Azure Dragon Spear’!
Du Ying, ’Hundred Victories Spear Technique’!
Sang Qing, ’Thirty Sword and Spear’!
...
Only to see Xin Huan use the ’Golden Stick’, sometimes as a staff, sometimes as a spear, executing exquisite staff and spear techniques from the absolute skills of the ’two lists’’ prodigies like Murong Chong and Guo Xi.
Each of them cultivated diligently for years to reach their current mastery and to shine at the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’.
But now, an unknown Xin Huan could freely wield the skills of others, converting effortlessly, equaling each practitioner.
Even Wang Zhengyi’s self-created nameless spear technique, integrating the ’Six Harmonies Spear,’ ’Xingyi Spear,’ and ’Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill’, was occasionally executed by Xin Huan, increasing in power once more.
Inconceivable!
"It’s impossible!"
Guo Xi and Gao Changyi exclaimed in unison.
Their martial arts were profound and not even fully comprehended by themselves, so how could Xin Huan master them all?
Hard to believe.
But it was indeed the truth!
Xin Huan not only mastered them but also relied on these staff and spear techniques to relentlessly suppress the recently emerged ’Unrivaled Divine Power’ Wang Zhengyi and ’Double-Handed Sword’ Chen Ze, leaving them powerless and retreating, endangered at every step.
"Ha!"
As for Wang Zhengyi, this was truly the first time he had felt this frustration since his breakthrough.
The spear and staff may differ in material, but in battle, the soldiers are different.
One was a truly fierce general with divine power unmatched!
The other a falsely famed heavenly pride quietly rising!
The iron spear was forged through a thousand blows, but the golden stick was a work of creation!
The two met as true opponents, with innumerable tactics at disposal: one with an iron spear, ferociously rough, slinging swiftly like the wind around the waist; the other clasping the golden stick, not yielding an inch, blocking left and right without agreement?
Furthermore, Chen Ze wielded his dual swords shuttling beside, but then—
Clang!
The golden stick swept horizontally, breaking the two swords with a responsive snap.
Soon after.
Crack.
Wang Zhengyi’s palm was numb, a momentary slip, failed to wrap the iron spear completely in his strength, resulting in the spear being smashed by the golden stick, rendering it unusable.
Without their weapons, the two could hardly battle Xin Huan.
The situation was perilous!
"Capable of resizing at will!"
"Infinite strength!"
"As strong as steel and iron!"
"Even adept at various spear and staff techniques, probably not Xin Huan’s ability, but attributable to the ’Golden Stick’!"
Yan Chuan finally discerned the essence of the exotic treasure, shocked within.
This treasure is truly mysterious.
In terms of type, it was actually similar to Liu Xin’s ’Chasing God Blade’.
But in terms of power, it was feared to exceed the ’Chasing God Blade’, which was capable of ’One Becomes Three’ and ’Wind Movement’, by several levels.
"No wonder it appeared at this moment!"
Yan Chuan now understood.
The ’Golden Stick’ could learn the spear and staff techniques displayed by the heavenly pride on the stage; the longer it watched, the deeper and broader it learned, naturally amassing more changes, thereby strengthening Xin Huan’s battle power.
If it had appeared at the beginning, its power would have been weaker instead.
At this moment, a genuine fierce battle was unfolding.
The shadows of the staff flew wildly.
Wang Zhengyi and Chen Ze had their weapons broken and could only retreat, as flesh alone couldn’t contend against a surprise weapon, already showing signs of defeat in no time.
At this moment, Yan Chuan could no longer hold back; with the ’White Horn Trumpet’ in his left hand and a sharp sword in his right, stepping the "Wave Riding Micro Steps," he instantly reached Xin Huan, confronting the golden staff.
Staff shadows flew—
"Stop, grab, slip, jab, lift, poke, twist, smash, slash, sweep!"
Xin Huan wielding the golden staff was using Guo Xi’s techniques from the ’Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear’.
"Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear!"
"Watch me break it!"
Yan Chuan’s long sword trembled, executing the ’Gun Breaking Form’ of the "Dugu Nine Swords" at the critical juncture!
This move specifically designed to break long weapons like spears, halberds, snake spears, Qimei sticks, wolf fang clubs, white wax rods, Zen staffs, convenient shovels, and more.
Yan Chuan’s "Dugu Nine Swords" was proficient, reaching the Fifth Realm.
Moreover, he had a deep understanding of Guo Xi’s ’Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear’.
At this moment, the sword—
Swish, swish, swish!
The spear technique was broken!
Yan Chuan could clearly sense Xin Huan’s surprise, yet the ’Golden Stick’s’ response came before Xin Huan, as the transformation of the ’Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear’ was completely countered by Yan Chuan’s ’Gun Breaking Form’, rapidly shifting to Sang Qing’s ’Thirty Sword and Spear’—
"Thirty Sword and Spear!"
"Let me break it as well!"
Yan Chuan’s sword revolved, seemingly delayed but actually was a step ahead, illuminating through sword flashes to completely shatter the ’Thirty Sword and Spear’ again.
The golden stick wielded by Xin Huan—
’Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear’!
’Thirty Sword and Spear’!
’Ten Great Sticks’!
’Azure Dragon Spear’!
’Shunshi Sect’!
...
The spear and staff techniques and even the Crescent Moon Spade skills of Jing Bao were all performed by this golden stick, displaying all sorts of martial arts from it—an astonishing feat.
But even more terrifying was that Yan Chuan, holding a sword and nimbly moving, managed to completely counter these spear and staff techniques through dazzling sword light.
