Chapter 438: Chapter 301 Wandering the World! Dual Sword Fusion! [Seeking Monthly Votes!]_2
This strike, relying solely on "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" or "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship," cannot be countered or escaped.
What a Sun Gui Fen!
What an "Chufeng" Twelve!
She took the stage in anger and, in an instant, threw Yan Chuan and Chen Ze into a perilous situation.
"This is bad!"
Seeing the situation, Wang Zhengyi rushed forward to rescue them.
But he saw that Yan Chuan no longer confined himself to swordsmanship; using "Wave Riding Micro Steps," he astonishingly evaded Sun Gui Fen’s Eagle Claw technique with a miraculous movement, inadvertently positioning himself next to Chen Ze—
Bang!
A "One Yang Finger Force" shot from five feet away hit the golden knife, slightly deflecting its downward chop. He then swiftly dragged Chen Ze, flying inclined close to the ground. Before the two could land, Yan Chuan laughed loudly: "Junior Brother! This is what it means to face a top master of the ’Two Lists’! Did you witness Sun Gui Fen’s ’Prince’s Travel’?"
In this life-and-death moment, Yan Chuan was still instructing Chen Ze.
"Phew!"
"That Old Yan!"
Only then did Wang Zhengyi realize that Yan Chuan deliberately put Chen Ze in danger to let him personally experience the might of a master like Sun Gui Fen.
Yan Chuan’s experience was rich, and his movement technique was peerless!
With his guidance, fighting Sun Gui Fen could allow Chen Ze to at least gain preliminary experience against top experts from the "Two Lists." His mindset would be tempered, and he might barely hold his own using "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship." Winning might be difficult, but sustaining through dozens of moves might be achievable.
This was Wang Zhengyi’s speculation.
But it wasn’t Yan Chuan’s main goal.
Yan Chuan didn’t speak much. Even before their bodies landed, even before his words finished, his long sword had already stabbed towards Sun Gui Fen’s back from an incredible angle at an incredible moment.
"Trial Wind!"
"What a magnificent sword move!"
Shocked by Sun Gui Fen’s "Prince’s Travel" and Yan Chuan’s "Wave Riding Micro Steps," Chen Ze suddenly saw this move "Trial Wind" from his senior brother. It was then he realized his senior brother’s mastery in "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" was no less than his own enlightenment.
This move "Trial Wind" served dual purposes, both offensive and defensive.
It not only resolved his own peril but also "Rescued Zhao by Surrounding Wei," preventing Sun Gui Fen from pursuing further.
One could glimpse the overall mastery of his "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" from just this one move.
Divine!
Incredible!
With a miraculous move, Yan Chuan broke the encirclement, and Chen Ze quickly regained his composure.
Meanwhile, Sun Gui Fen frowned and, relying on the "Prince’s Travel" technique, flicked her right foot behind the golden knife before it hit the ground, sending the knife flying up again!
This was not just a golden knife!
It was clearly a massive golden wheel!
The blade was sharp!
The blade light shimmered!
The gold rings jingled on the knife’s back and hacked towards Chen Ze’s head once again.
Chen Ze didn’t have time to think. In a critical moment, he used a "White Rainbow Crossing the Sky" flat sword move of "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" to sweep towards the golden knife.
The knife was heavy!
The sword was light!
Originally, Chen Ze’s sharp sword should have been knocked out by Sun Gui Fen’s out-of-hand golden knife, but Chen Ze, being a genius, ingeniously integrated the principle of "Four Ounces Move a Thousand Pounds" from "Tai Chi Boxing" into his "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" attack during his execution, utilizing it naturally.
With this, when the sword was executed, it effortlessly blocked the heavy golden knife.
Moreover, under the clever force of Chen Ze’s "Four Ounces Move a Thousand Pounds," the direction of the golden knife reversed and slashed back towards Sun Gui Fen.
"Beautiful!"
Yan Chuan praised excitedly.
Chen Ze’s understanding of swordsmanship and his integration of "Tai Chi Boxing" demonstrated martial arts wisdom and combat wisdom beyond Yan Chuan’s imagination.
Pure-minded!
Talented!
This kind of Chen Ze, if not delayed at Guangling Academy, if he had found his path and martial arts, he might have already taken flight, his achievements possibly not inferior to Tan Dou and Ying Jifeng.
Guangling is remote and backward, causing delays for Chen Ze.
But now, catching up quickly isn’t too late.
He’s already on the "Human List"!
Is reaching the peak that far off?
...
The battle continues.
"Quite skilled!"
Finally, Sun Gui Fen took notice of the unremarkable Chen Ze beside Yan Chuan. Originally, she hadn’t considered Chen Ze a threat; using "Prince’s Travel" with the golden knife was intended to forcefully deal with the irrelevant Chen Ze, mainly to suddenly change strategies and use her Eagle Claws to catch Yan Chuan off guard.
Her Eagle Claws failed, but Sun Gui Fen knew it wasn’t surprising because Yan Chuan had "Wave Riding Micro Steps" — this was just a trial.
Success would have been delightful.
Failure was no reason for dismay.
But that Chen Ze, rescued by Yan Chuan, swiftly opened up and could handle his own, facing "Prince’s Travel" and "Out-of-hand Golden Knife" alone, was what surprised Sun Gui Fen.
One must know!
She dared to let her weapon go, attacking with the golden knife, because the knife was incredibly heavy. The heavy golden knife combined with the "Prince’s Travel" skill within "Qingxi Saber Technique" added weight to an extreme, making any weapon, whether light or heavy, hit by it, would numb and ache from the weight, causing the weapon to fall unintentionally!
This trick!
Let alone Chen Ze, who is merely at the Fourth Layer Fourth Grade.
Even someone like Ying Jifeng with peak cultivation would struggle to withstand it multiple times!
But Chen Ze withstood it!
"Yan Chuan is slippery!"
"Then let’s deal with you first!"
Enraged, Sun Gui Fen immediately changed her strategy, no longer aggressively attacking Yan Chuan but directly targeting Chen Ze instead.
Firstly, because Chen Ze is weaker.
Secondly, attacking Chen Ze forces Yan Chuan into rescue.
Sun Gui Fen realized a moment too late: "Yan Chuan is dragging along a burden! Isn’t this the weak spot delivered to me!?"
Once she understood!
Sun Gui Fen turned her fury into joy, focusing wholeheartedly on aggressively attacking Chen Ze!
...
At this point, Yan Chuan was no longer anxious. Seeing Sun Gui Fen change her target, Yan Chuan shouted: "Junior Brother, Wander the World!"
Before the words finished, he thrust his sword at an angle.
This was "Quanzhen Swordsmanship"!
"Wander the World!" Chen Ze trusted Yan Chuan, without a second thought, executed the "Wander the World" from "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship" and slashed.
Though the moves had the same name, their forms were vastly different.
Yan Chuan’s move was a fierce strike from "Quanzhen Swordsmanship."
Chen Ze’s move was a treacherous stroke from "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship."
Before the battle, Yan Chuan instructed Chen Ze if he used "Quanzhen Swordsmanship," Chen Ze should pair it with "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship" and vice versa.
Now, operating the "Quanzhen Swordsmanship," Chen Ze, as instructed, executed "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship."
This demonstrated his full trust in Yan Chuan; as for the opponent, with his grasp of swordsmanship, based on "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" or "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship," he reasoned that "Wander the World" was not the optimal solution.
Still, because of his trust in Yan Chuan, when his analysis contradicted Yan Chuan’s instructions, Chen Ze instinctively opted to trust Yan Chuan, though rationally remained pessimistic about the outcome of this engagement.
Chen Ze never expected—
Clang!
The two combined swords, with a clang, unexpectedly elevated the power of "Wander the World" to an astonishing realm; the two swords struck in harmony, their minds aligned, strength combined, and Chen Ze felt as if aided by divine intervention, the power grew immensely.
"Hiss!"
Sun Gui Fen, wielding the golden knife, although her qi power and saber skill surpassed Chen Ze’s and even Yan Chuan’s, was unable to withstand the dual-blade strike, forced to retreat rapidly.
However, caught off guard by the sudden, tremendously powerful combined attack, she couldn’t react quickly enough, couldn’t retreat in time, resulting in two swords simultaneously striking her body.
By luck, she managed a timely evasion, making the best of the hasty situation, allowing Yan Chuan and Chen Ze’s sword edges to graze past her sides, merely tearing her clothes.
Still, the shock was real, scaring Sun Gui Fen into a cold sweat.
