Chapter 1677 - 625: Meeting Ahead of Schedule
Now it’s the point where plans have exhausted, and daggers are revealed.
Elder Yushu no longer hesitates and directly makes a move, the first target being Song Sect Leader standing ahead.
But Song Sect Leader has no intention of confronting the old man head-on.
In a flicker, he retreats to the back of the crowd.
He cries out softly:
"Fire the arrows!!"
However, at this moment, the distance between each other has closed in, where is the chance to string the bow and fire the arrows?
The people behind Elder Yushu, led by the woman in red, charge forward directly, unleashing a fierce battle.
The whole scene instantly turns chaotic.
Su Mo and Little Situ sit on the rooftop, quietly observing the situation, unable to help feeling amused:
"They’ve caught a shark while fishing.
"It seems their original plan was centered around Elder Yushu.
"By normal logic, it could be considered a sure thing.
"But unexpectedly, the Blood Lotus Sect and Jingxin Hall intend to cause trouble for us in Four direction City.
"Leading to two big figures being present simultaneously.
"Though Elder Yushu’s martial arts are good, he’s conservative in personality.
"Knowing well that Song Sect Leader is delaying time, yet still unwilling to cut through the mess quickly.
"It almost makes me think he’s on the opposing side.
"Watching his desperate stance now, I feel I’ve wronged him.
"Being able to fight two, still afraid of trouble."
"Should we help them?"
Little Situ has already prepared, while watching the commotion, also observing the wind movements, just waiting for Su Mo to nod, then various poisons will be sent ahead.
But Su Mo shakes his head:
"No rush...
"The woman in red and the old man are one thing.
"The others are not kind sorts; if you must say, it’s like a dog-fight.
"Let’s let them fight it out first.
"We’ll also take the opportunity to see the methods of the Blood Lotus Sect and Jingxin Hall.
"These two big figures ultimately can’t be allowed to escape."
Upon hearing this, Little Situ nods.
He only glances back at Dong Cuilan, saying in a low voice:
"Brother Su, why not let her go?
"Now that Blood Lotus Sect and Jingxin Hall have more people, and since you’ve subdued her, she needn’t be kept around.
"Why not just kill her outright, to spare her constant suffering, it seems too cruel to watch."
"You’re just too soft-hearted."
Su Mo laughs:
"The people of Blood Lotus Sect have twisted personalities, even though her past circumstances were tragic, it can’t erase her later vile deeds.
"This suffering would be a good lesson for her.
"She said that after death she would go to the Lotus World, let her take this pain and gossip with Blood Lotus Mother."
Little Situ was speechless.
Is this meant to scare the Blood Lotus Mother from descending?
The discussion between the two ends, and they turn their gaze back to the field.
Currently, Elder Yushu has already faced off against the two major experts from Jingxin Hall and the Blood Lotus Sect.
In the field blood glimmers frequently, the big figure from the Blood Lotus Sect is a woman in her twenties.
With lowered eyes and a peaceful demeanor.
Wearing red and barefoot, each step she takes accompanied by a blood lotus underfoot.
She wields no sword in her hands, yet her fingers are like swords, sharper in edge.
Each move she makes, the air emits a sound of "chi chi chi."
Su Mo sees that her martial arts indeed follow the same style as the woman he encountered in the inn.
The difference is, her cultivation is deeper, and her techniques are more refined and exquisite.
Especially each move she makes is accompanied by "scripture sounds," causing disturbance.
As for Xia Yuan’s skills, they combine correctness and craftiness.
He uses a short blade when wielding a knife.
When using a sword, he employs a longsword.
Short blade and longsword, one paved with the righteous path, one follows a treacherous route.
Perfectly aligning with the principles of yin and yang, fully exhibiting the rationale of combining correctness and craftiness.
Simultaneously attacking Elder Yushu alongside the Blood Lotus Sect woman.
For a moment, their coordination is extremely precise.
Elder Yushu truly proves worthy to be one of the Three Wonders and Five Elders.
Years ago, Lord Ban Shu single-handedly disturbed Qianji Sect to chaos.
Now Elder Yushu’s staff in hand, pointing east and striking west, keeps the two major experts from Jingxin Hall and Blood Lotus Sect at bay.
Su Mo pays special attention to Elder Yushu’s skills.
On first glance, the old man’s martial arts don’t appear too exquisite.
His moves seem full of flaws.
Though powerful, if there was a fourth person in the field attacking him with a precise strike, a hit would be inevitable.
Yet amidst the clash of the three major experts, Vigorous Wind sweeps.
Not to mention ordinary people, even top experts like Song Sect Leader, can’t get close.
One moment of carelessness results in serious injury or death.
Therefore, these flaw-ridden moves offer no chance of a strike from the opponent.
His martial arts are riddled with flaws, but his offensive proficiency, although clumsy, hits vital points accurately.
Forcing opponents to abandon their plans and defend instead.
Initially, Su Mo couldn’t discern the essence of it, but after watching for a while, he lights up:
"Great skills!!"
Little Situ couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo:
"Who?"
"Naturally, Elder Yushu."
Su Mo sighs gently:
"I now understand why his actions are so conservative.
"It’s probably from reading too much, his mind has become rigid."
"..."
Little Situ felt Su Mo today’s words are profound, a bit hard to understand.
Seeing this, Su Mo smiled, then explained:
"Within three moves, the Blood Lotus Sect person will have to retreat."
