C401 Broken
The same whistle fell into the ears of different people, but the results were different.
Mei Jiefu also heard the whistling sound, but his light purple eyes narrowed.
With his peerless martial arts, even though he had experienced many battles in the past two days, his injured martial arts had been reduced, but he had never thought that it would take so much effort to deal with such a group of young men, and he had yet to take them down. It could be said that the younger generation of the Yangtze River pushed the older generation, and at some point, he even began to love talents.
But now, there was no room for negotiation.
Mei Jiefu swung the tree branch in his hand at Ye Shiyuan and the other two.
He had always used the tree branch as a sword, and he mainly used moves such as stabbing and slashing. He rarely used such a powerful move that was like a heavy weapon.
Ye Shiyuan and the others heard that reinforcements would arrive soon, and Hee Jinfeng's excitement was obvious. From the sound of the whistle, it was obvious that they were experts. As long as they could hold on for a moment longer, the scale of victory would definitely tilt towards them. At this moment, they could only grit their teeth and hold on.
Moreover, the three of them were in charge of protecting the Central Palace. Behind them was the Myriad Security Barrier that Wong Beiming and the others had. It could be said that they had nowhere to retreat to. They could only grit their teeth and hold on.
Ye Shiyuan's Immortal Slaughtering Sword and Shea Yanxue's Embroidered Spring Sabre were raised at the same time. Both of them shared the same principle. They intended to take on the opponent's desperate strike. Although Cao Qianwan's combat strength was weaker than the two of them, he didn't want to completely seek protection from them.
His weapon was a folding fan made of thousand year old purple sandalwood. It was usually used for self-defense besides being elegant. This was because the chances of Cao County Magistrate personally making a move were extremely small. Only today did he realize that he had been a frog in a well, and it was even more absurd for him to choose this fan as his weapon.
Because Mei Jiefu's martial arts skills were too high, he could come and go as fast as lightning. When it came to a life and death situation, the chances of him being able to help were limited. Now that he saw the tree branch in Mei Jiefu's hand sweeping over, he could finally lend him a hand. So he poured strength into his right arm and activated the family heirloom technique. The red sandalwood fan in his hand also faced Mei Jiefu's seemingly weak tree branch that seemed to have thousands of kilograms of strength.
Many things, in the unseen world, had their own will.
However, human strength always struggled bitterly in the crevice of the will of heaven, seeking a place.
Cao Qianwan's actions did not seem to be of much use, but in reality, he had saved his own life.
The tree branch in Mei Jiefu's hand had been through a few major battles. It had long proved that even Ye Shiyuan's Immortal Slaughtering Sword couldn't cut it.
Ye Shiyuan was on the left, Shea Yanxue was on the right, and Cao Qianwan was in the middle. The three of them worked together to resist Mei Jiefu's attack. Ye Shiyuan's sword and Shea Yanxue's eyes met the tree branch in front of them. However, what happened next caught the two of them off guard.
The blade and the blade seemed to have nothing in it, as if they were ready to collide with the earth with full force. However, they realized that what awaited them in the end was all in vain. That feeling was truly unpleasant. It was unknown what kind of trick Mei Jiefu had done to the tree branch. His calculations were exquisite. The moment Ye Shiyuan and Shea Yanxue's swords and sabers came into contact with each other, the tree branch broke before they could even touch it.
It looked as if the tree branch had been cut off by their swords and blades. However, only the person in question knew that it wasn't the case at all.
In this way, the entire tree branch was broken into three sections. Each section did not slow down at all. It became a dividing line between Ye Shiyuan, Cao Qianwan, and Shea Yanxue.
People would more or less have a habit of predicting their positions and making judgments in advance. However, if this position and judgment were proven wrong, it would be terrible.
The more intelligent one was, the more likely they would fall.
Who would have thought that this incomparably firm tree branch would actually break in response. The tense muscles and holding breath from the previous moment were originally the source of strength resistance, but at this moment, it became a burden that could not be changed swiftly.
Therefore, in a battle between experts, it was very rare to go all out. Because if one did not have the spare strength to deal with a sudden matter, it could be said that one foot had stepped into the shadow of failure.
Needless to say, anyone could tell that the tree branch in Mei Jiefu's hand was a treasure. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to be unharmed under Ye Shiyuan's Immortal Slaughtering Sword. At this moment, the tree branch suddenly broke into three pieces and struck at the three of them. However, the tremendous force contained within didn't reduce in the slightest.
Ye Shiyuan and Shea Yanxue's swords and sabers had already lost one of their skills in the outer sect. Not only was it useless, but it was also a burden to them. Only at the moment of life and death would they be able to see each other's abilities.
Ye Shiyuan's right hand, which was holding the sword, had no time to move. At this moment, his left hand reached out like lightning. He made a strange gesture, and his thumb grabbed the ring finger and the little finger. Only his index and middle fingers were outside, and they seemed to be stretched out and bent. Like a light button or a touch, he touched a branch that was flying towards him. However, how could the great force contained within be something that the two fingers could resist at the last moment?
Ye Shiyuan's two fingers did not resist the branch. Instead, they lightly and agilely moved on it. The direction that the tree branch was flying in suddenly changed a little. Helplessly, it was already too close to its body by the time it moved. Even though Ye Shiyuan sucked in a breath at the same time and shrank his chest like a piece of paper, the tree branch that he had changed direction with his two fingers flew past his chest. The tail of the tree branch still cut across his left armpit. There were two crisp sounds of "thump," and blood splashed out at the same time. At least two of Ye Shiyuan's ribs were broken. At the same time, he spurted out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that his internal organs had been severely injured by this force.
However, there were not many people in the world who could escape from this fatal strike.
Cao Qianwan, who was in the middle, should be said to be lucky. Because his sandalwood fan was the shortest, when he sent out the fan to help, it was just right in the middle of the broken tree branch. There was no need to change his move at all.
But Cao Qianwan was also unfortunate. If he chose another weapon, it might be much better. But he chose this fan that was called a thousand year old sandalwood as a weapon. Thousand years old sandalwood did not seem to be afraid of ordinary swords and swords. Cao Qianwan closed the fan and pointed the handle at the flying tree branch. He tried to block it and push it away, but he did not expect the moment the sandalwood fan came into contact with the tree branch, it was unknown if it was because of the restraint, but the sixteen seemingly solid fan bones suddenly exploded into pieces.
Cao Qianwan's hands lightened. He knew that things were not good, so he hurriedly extended both palms. He forcefully received this branch. Fortunately, the broken sandalwood fan had already absorbed a portion of the energy. Even so, Cao Qianwan's palms and wrist bones broke at the same time. He was sent flying and fell to the ground. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
On the other side, Shea Yanxue similarly didn't have the time to dodge in time. His actions were exactly the same as Ye Shiyuan's, but upon closer inspection, there was a slight difference. Similarly, Shea Yanxue also extended two fingers of his left hand, and the remaining three fingers were tightly clenched. However, the two fingers of his index and middle fingers were as straight as a halberd. If Ke Lianguo were to look at them with his eyesight, he would be able to tell that the fingers of the index and middle fingers were as straight as a halberd. Perhaps, he could tell that these two fingers were as white as jade and seemed to be slightly different from the other fingers.
