Chapter Seventy Injured

  "Alright, let's see your real skills!" Shangguan Yu still had the air of a senior pointing out to a junior, "My little junior apprentice, those martial arts you showed earlier weren't very good, I hope the ones that come later won't disappoint me again!"

  Shangguan Yu's hands tightened around the Long Dragon Spear, and in the previous battle, he was also fully invested. (Please remember me) Xu Mo is indeed a rare opponent, don't look at him always having the upper hand, in fact, his injuries are absolutely more severe than Xu Mo's.

  Xu Mo has the true martial gate's healing heart method, so his injuries can recover quickly, which is why he can fight until now. But Shangguan Yu is different, he doesn't need to use a special method to recover from injuries. His recovery ability is really abnormal, even if Xu Mo uses his healing heart method, it can't compare to Shangguan Yu's self-healing ability.

  Xu Mo fought while healing, which must have affected his combat strength. But Shangguan Yu was different, he only needed to focus on fighting. If Xu Mo didn't heal, fighting with injuries would be even more difficult. If Xu Mo healed, it would also affect his combat strength, like now. If Xu Mo had full combat strength, Shangguan Yu might not have the upper hand either.

  Taking advantage of the time to speak, Shangguan Yu also took a break. In this way, the all-out battle consumed not only physical strength but also corresponding mental power. If Shangguan Yu didn't have this abnormal **, he would have fallen long ago.

  Xu Mo glared fiercely at Shangguan Yu, his expression so twisted that he looked like he wanted to go up and strangle him. Being humiliated by a teenager, anyone else would probably have exploded in anger too. Xu Mo frantically activated "Breath Restoring Technique", repairing his injuries to better unleash his combat strength.

  "Your verbal sparring skills are indeed very strong, I must admit I'm no match for you." Xu Mo said in a low tone, "However, your actual combat skills aren't that great. If I hadn't held back, you would have been knocked down long ago!"

  "Really?" Shangguan Yu shook his head without confirming or denying, "I'm afraid your true strength is just that. No wonder you're so old and still haven't reached the Imperial Extreme Realm, your talent is really too poor!"

  Xu Mo's face turned red with anger, and he almost spat out another mouthful of blood. He had always been proud of his qualifications, being able to become an inner door disciple, who didn't have a bit of pride?

  "It's okay, diligence can make up for clumsiness. As long as you keep practicing, you still have a chance to improve." Xiang Yu's face was filled with disappointment, but suddenly his expression changed, "My little junior apprentice, having poor talent is not scary, what's scary is having poor talent and still managing to humiliate yourself!"

  "You! You! You!"

  Xu Mo said "you" three times in a row, his expression becoming increasingly sinister, the veins on his forehead bulging. (Remember me.) Xu Mo's throat emitted a strange "gagging" sound, clearly infuriating Shangguan Yu.

  "Ling Wu Sword Technique!"

  Xu Mo launched another attack, this time with complete abandon. Every knife move embodied Xu Mo's understanding of the "Ling Wu Knife Method", every knife move permeated Xu Mo's distillation of martial arts, and every knife move interpreted Xu Mo's comprehension of the Way of Martial Arts.

  The gleaming blade, the aura of the knife, Xu Mo's silent knife seemed to be no longer a giant python. The giant python was ferocious, but it couldn't compare to the true dragon. At this time, Xu Mo's knife technique had already transformed into an ancient strange beast, far more ferocious than the giant python. Unfortunately, Dugu Yu didn't recognize this strange beast, so he couldn't say its name.

  At this time, Shangguan Yu opened his eyes, and a thread of essence overflowed from his eyes. Xu Mo's movements were all imprinted in his eyes, and every knife was also imprinted in his mind.

  "Bagua Swimming Dragon Gun!"

  After the previous comparison, Shangguan Yu's application of this set of gun techniques became even more skilled. The two swimming dragons seemed to come alive, one attacking and one defending, complementing each other perfectly. And the swimming dragon gun seemed to have merged with the "Bagua Swimming Dragon Gun", the two dragons on the gun handle evolving into a pair of attacking and defending dragons.

  Xu Mo struck again with a single slash, and Shangguan Yu's You Long spear directly pierced the blade of Mo's sword. This move by Shangguan Yu was like a stroke of divine inspiration, even he himself didn't understand how he managed to do it. Faced with the incoming slash, he somehow managed to pierce the blade with his spear.

  "Rustle"

  The blade of Mo Dao was cut by You Long Gun, leaving a deep wound. Xu Mo's knife naturally deviated from its original trajectory. Originally intended to slash at Shangguan Yu, it instead slashed past his side.

  Shangguan Yu aimed at the right moment, and his spear quickly changed direction. A swimming dragon directly turned into a divine dragon's tail sweep, with the spearhead wanting to sweep past Xu Mo's neck. Xu Mo also immediately withdrew his sword, directly chopping towards the incoming spear.

  Shangguan Yu also wanted to try the durability of You Long Gun, so he didn't change his move either. Mo Dao's blade directly chopped onto the gun handle of You Long Gun, and a piercing sound was heard.

  Shangguan Yu looked carefully and saw that there was not a single mark on the gun handle of You Long Gun. This made Shangguan Yu even more at ease, this You Long Gun is absolutely a good weapon. If it were the long spear he used before, it would have been cut in half by Mo Dao.

  Xu Mo, on the other hand, was jealous of Shangguan Yu. Being able to join Wu San Tong's sect was already a stroke of great luck. What was even more detestable was that the leader of the Zhenwu Sect had given him such a wonderful treasure.

  Xu Mo's silent knife had always been his treasure and pride. Even among the inner disciples, those who possessed a good weapon like the silent knife were few in number. The fact that this knife was named after Xu Mo himself could show just how precious it was.

  But now, a newcomer actually has a better weapon than Xu Mo. Moreover, during the battle, Xu Mo's silent knife was damaged. And this duel is still ongoing, looking at it now, the silent knife will likely be even more severely damaged.

  Shangguan Yu looked at Xu Mo with a heart-aching gaze, and struck again, "Alas, my little junior apprentice, do you need your senior uncle to give you a handy treasure sword? Look at this broken sword of yours, it's really useless!"

  Shangguan Yu's mouth was still speaking, but he continued to use the "Ba Gua You Long Gun". The sword had no eyes, and Xu Mo also wanted to hurt him, so he naturally couldn't be distracted. The defensive dragon seemed to grow bigger, covering Shangguan Yu's entire body.

  But the attacking dragon was even more ferocious, and it fought for its life with the ancient strange beast. This strange beast was also formidable, and it could actually fight on par with a true dragon. The wandering dragon naturally did not want to be outdone by a strange beast, so it fiercely attacked the beast.

  "Ling Wu Dao Fa" "Every Sword Strike is Fatal"

  Xu Mo's swordsmanship changed again, and the ancient strange beast disappeared. Instead, it was another kind of strange beast that Shangguan Yu had never seen before. However, Shangguan Yu felt a sinister and venomous aura from this strange beast.

  As expected, Xu Mo's every knife became even more venomous. The blade of the silent knife was aimed at the vital parts of Shangguan Yu each time, obviously wanting to put Shangguan Yu to death. Every knife's position was very tricky, if it were someone else, they would have become a soul under the knife long ago.

  Shangguan Yu, however, was not afraid at all. The defensive dragon moved even more happily. Every time it blocked Xu Mo's silent knife, it would bring out a burst of sparks. Shangguan Yu and Xu Mo didn't change color at all, one gun and one knife, fighting with great joy.

  In the void.

  "Junior brother, it seems this person wants to kill your disciple." The smile on Shangguan's face grew wider as he continued to tease, "I say, junior brother, aren't you afraid that your precious disciple will be killed?"

  "I'm scared, of course I am! It's not easy to find a good apprentice like him. If he dies, I'll fight with others to the death!" Wu San Tong puffed out his chest and glared, but in an instant, he was all smiles again.

  "But this kid who was suppressed to the Heavenly Soldier realm, wanting to kill other Heavenly Soldier realm warriors is actually quite easy. However, wanting to kill my disciple? That's absolutely impossible! Whether my disciple can win or not I don't know, but this kid thinking he can kill my disciple is absolute delusion!"

  Shangguan Zhongmen raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Santong, "Can't help but say you're really lucky, just going out for a trip and picking up such a good apprentice. I suppose the other three apprentices aren't bad either?"

  "That's right, Master Shixiong. It's not that I'm bragging, but my three disciples are absolutely no worse than the other masters' disciples. Originally, I was already very satisfied with those three disciples, and I didn't expect to have another excellent disciple like Shangguan Yu."

  Looking at Wu Santong's triumphant appearance, Shangguan Zhizhong didn't say another word. Wu Santong glanced at Shangguan Zhizhong and also shut his mouth.

  Fighting on an empty stage.

  Xu Mo's attack became even more ferocious, each knife still extremely cunning and carrying a toxic edge. The vital parts of Shangguan Yu, Mo Dao would attack. Xu Mo really wanted Shangguan Yu's life now, and Shangguan Yu was naturally also going all out.

  "Hmm"

  Xu Mo's sword chopped down onto Shangguan Yu's shoulder, and although Shangguan Yu used his Dragon Roaming Spear to block it, he was still injured. Fresh blood stained Shangguan Yu's clothes, and his entire right shoulder was covered in blood.

  Shangguan Yu's block just now was actually what kept Mo Dao from cutting too deep, otherwise this one strike would have been enough to make Shangguan Yu fall. This strike wasn't fatal, but it did affect Shangguan Yu's next move.

  Shangguan Yu grasped the You Long spear with both hands, using "Bagua You Long Spear!". However, due to his injured right shoulder, this set of spear techniques became increasingly ineffective. On the other hand, Xu Mo's "Ling Wu Knife Technique" was even more venomous.

  The dragon that had been attacked by Shangguan Yu also returned to his side, and the two dragons guarded him together. Faced with Xu Mo's moves, Shangguan Yu could only defend passively, otherwise he would really die without knowing how.

  "Aren't you the one who's always boasting about how great you are? What's wrong now?" Seeing that Shangguan Yu's situation was becoming increasingly precarious, Xumu couldn't help but let out a triumphant cry.
