The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 243 - Dirty Tricks
Large-scale chaos has broken out in Renwu City, reinforcements have started arriving since this morning. Many messengers of the sects who came to help the White Mist Valley fight.
Neutral parties also intervened although not moving much, most of which helped were sects that cooperated directly with the Empire. As well as some fighters and traveling warriors who happened to be in the city.
When he returned to the place where Yong Tao and the Demon Cult leader fought him paused for a moment, it turned out that the duel of the two people still continued to this day. True to his expectations, the actual lead power of the Demon Cult was unable to keep up with Yong Tao rising rapidly as his body was possessed by demons.
In Yong Tao's agile and powerful movements successfully cornered countless times, his enemy used the deep wounds on Yong Tao's body as weakness. He attacked the focus on Yong Tao's stomach to make him weaken slowly.
Yong Tao did not not not not know the intent of his opponent but he himself could not do much. Not to mention avoiding the dozens of weapon eyes that were ready to split his body, Yong Tao was truly in a disadvantageous state.
The man retreated for a moment hoping to find a gap to attack, but it was he who opened the gap himself.
Yong Tao turned his back when he realized a weapon was about to hit his shoulder bone, not having time to dodge the man preparing for the attack.
But all he heard was a sharp, deafening sword creak. He opened his eyes, realizing that a young man was trying to protect him.
"You're back..." Yong Tao said in relief, before long blood came out of his mouth. The scar inflicted by his opponent was quite fatal, almost hitting the part where his heart was.
In fact facing the leader of the Devil Cult was much more difficult than imagined, the man's strength continued to grow as time went on. Instead of weakening, it was precisely each releasing a huge force of demonic energy within his body was growing bigger and bigger.
Xin Fai noticed that for a moment and she was able to realize that something was wrong in this fight. Why could Yong Tao be in a cornered position whereas by his own strength, this first Imperial Pillar was still stronger than the enemy.
For the sake of finding the meeting point of this matter he advanced against the leader of the Devil Cult, the man raised his face once a jolt was really like a demon possessed energy within him. His eyes were red as blood. His teeth fangs were ready to tear the skin of the opponent. He advanced uncontrollably, swinging the weapon in all directions not letting Xin Fai escape his deathly entanglement.
The huge sword passed right before Xin Fai's eyes, less than a centimeter away was about to pierce through his head. Fortunately he had thought of rewinding the move earlier, Xin Fai turned to the gap beside the enemy and switched to his target position.
Unexpectedly the enemy was much more meticulous than he saw, instantly without wasting any longer his greatsword struck the floor beside him making a cracking sound. Xin Fai again had no other choice but to retreat thinking of another way to break into the enemy's defenses.
"A tough opponent, huh?" Yong Tao tried to get up after a long time of silence in a kneeling position, he held onto his chest in pain.
"You must pay for this wound in my chest!" So he shouted at the enemy.
"Curtainly, touching my skin has not been able to act threateningly." The man replied sharply. "If there's nothing else you want to talk about, it's better to die!"
"I wish you died first!" yong Tao's reply became fierce, he prepared in an attacking position. The sword in his hand scratched the floor causing a loud chafing sound.
The fight between the two men was inevitable, they stood in a sturdy position by holding each other's sword rates. It was unexpected that the power of the Demon Cult Leader was on par with Yong Tao, even though it was demon-controlled but still it was a shocking thing.
Some white-flow swordsmen were astonished to see the first Imperial Pillar even overwhelmed the man's swordplay.
No different from Xin Fai, it could be said that the leader of the Devil Cult was one of the ten strongest people he had ever met. He was increasingly aware that the wounds on Yong Tao's body were dangerous if not treated immediately. Choosing not to be silent the young man jerked his sword sharply down making the fight of the two men pause for a moment.
Xin Fai smiled slightly. "Senior Yong can't even dwell in front of you. Being able to meet someone like you is a rare coincidence" he said.
"Sih you just realized it now, boy. The owner of this body has quite a large inner circle, he can hold nearly eighty percent of my original strength."
"Hm, so. It's worth it your dirty trick went well."
The Demon Cult Leader blinked for a moment upon hearing Xin Fai's words, as if hinting at something he could guess what he meant.
"Dirty tricks? Know what you're talking like?"
Yong Tao looked at the two people before him in turn, he digested Xin Fai's words for longer but never got an answer in his head. Just hope Xin Fai immediately said what was wrong in this fight.
Initially Yong Tao felt this fight could be won easily by him even he was sure he could win if he only relied on sword science. Every incision he scratched had a strong attack power, his movement was not easily guessed by the enemy.
But before the enemy this time all his reputation in the Empire was meaningless, Yong Tao realized his strength was not enough to protect the crowd. Especially in this state of the body, where he could only draw out half of his original strength.
There was a sound of footsteps passing through Yong Tao, Xin Fai moved towards the leader of the Demon Cult slowly. Not caring about the gazes of the elders who happened to be there, they looked worriedly at him.
Even Yong Tao who had been famous for his strength was still not enough to defeat that demon man. Plus from the appearance of Xin Fai is very young, fighting with the opponent is too heavy. He could die young before he could take off his sword swing.
Yong Tao had the same thoughts as the elders, he held onto Xin Fai's arm tightly. Forcing him to stop.
"For a while we retreat first," he said.
"Waiting for them to take control of the White Mist Valley?" said it. "Until I die, it will never happen." Xin Fai threw out Yong Tao's hand, moving closer and closer to the leader of the Demon Cult.
"That dirty trick I'm talking about is inside your sword." He pointed. "Each of your swords collides with the enemy's sword, he will absorb the power in the opponent secretly. Like a thief, trying to make no sense of foulness you're trying to make it all like your own enemy's fault for using too much inner power. Your strength is also growing due to absorbing Senior Yong's strength. If you don't call it a dirty trick, then what do you have to call it?"
The elders who had just toppled the black stream swordsmen were amazed to listen to the astute observation of the young man in the middle of the hall. Not a single shudder was heard in his voice.
As if no longer intending to cover up the enemy immediately laughed out loud.
"It's just that you know that... Ahhaha!" His eyes opened, staring at Xin Fai deeply. "You still have no way to win against my sword."
As his enemy laughed Xin Fai also laughed just as much, he shook his head making the leader of the Devil Cult frown.
"What are you laughing at?!"
"What if I told you, if your sword couldn't touch me?"
