Zombie Bodyguard

The sturdy man carried up a giant knife, which looked very similar to Guan Wusheng’s Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, but its blade lacked the Azure Dragon Crescent’s design.

Even without the dragon design, it didn’t affect the knife’s ferocity, with a blade almost as large as a door and a handle over a meter long, the handle was metallic as well.

The entire length of the knife was taller than an average man, shimmering with a metallic chill, especially the enormous blade, sharp and fierce, capable of slicing a small car in half with one stroke.

In terms of size, this giant knife was even larger than the Sky Halberd, thus drawing almost everyone’s attention upon entry.

"Oh my, how does one use such a heavy knife?"

"Could it be even heavier than the Sky Halberd?"

"A little girl wielding a giant knife, seems a bit of a crowd-pleaser to me."

The crowd couldn’t help but start discussing, mostly marveling at the knife’s weight, especially compared to the girl’s slender figure, wondering if she could actually wield it.

Huang Xiaopang weighed the Kanglong Mace in his hand, seemingly embarrassed, as it couldn’t even be called a heavyweight weapon in front of this giant knife.

Being fully metal-cast, its weight unknown, when the sturdy man carried it in front of Liu Xiaoxiao, sweat was already on his forehead.

Liu Xiaoxiao extended a single hand, grasped the handle, and with a light lift, effortlessly picked the giant knife up, her arm quivered, the knife buzzing audibly.

She just held it with one hand, maneuvering it in mid-air, seeming surprisingly light and graceful, one would think it was made of wood.

Yet everyone clearly heard the sharp ringing sound as the blade sliced through the air, confirming it was indeed a metal knife. Especially at the end, when the handle heavily hit the ground, with a resounding thud, instantly cracking the stone slabs.

The sturdy man’s face turned pale with fright, hurriedly fled the stage while running, shouted, "Sis, take it easy, don’t get hurt."

"Looks like I underestimated you, didn’t think your weapon would be a Yanyue Blade, even heavier than most of them." Yuwen Xingjian remarked slightly surprised.

"This giant knife is what I use for training, so it’s heavier than a practical Yanyue Blade, it’s a good blade, but unfortunately made of plain steel, can’t compare with the Sky Halberd." Liu Xiaoxiao lamented a bit regretfully as she gazed up at the blade.

Yuwen Xingjian acknowledged this point, within the loose cultivators, being able to wield a Kanglong Mace is already impressive, if a weapon rivaling the Sky Halberd emerged, it would embarrass these noble families.

However, Yuwen Xingjian still advised, "The Yanyue Blade is a heavy weapon, ancient generals needed the horse’s strength to unleash its great power. Although we are all Ancient Martial Artists, using it to fight me is still too heavy, as far as I know, Eagle Claw Skill is not a strength-type martial art."

Liu Xiaoxiao merely smiled calmly, unconcerned, "I don’t care about winning or losing in this duel, I’ve long wanted to test the power of the Sky Halberd, and who says Eagle Claw Skill isn’t a strength-type martial art?"

"An eagle hunts, using its double claws to grasp prey several times heavier. If there isn’t strength, how accomplish this?" Liu Xiaoxiao countered.

Yuwen Xingjian was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Alright, the Sky Halberd will not disappoint you."

Despite being surprised by Liu Xiaoxiao’s weapon, he wasn’t overwhelmed. In his heart, the Yanyue Blade still wasn’t a match; this confidence stemmed not only from the Sky Halberd but also from his own strength.

Yuwen Xingjian held the Sky Halberd upright while Liu Xiaoxiao held her knife tilted towards the ground, her other hand pressing in front, the two stood opposed, awaiting the bell.

Dong...

The bronze bell rang, as if even its sound was affected by the weapons, slightly muted.

Screech...

Liu Xiaoxiao’s mouth moved, letting out an eagle’s call, the crowd heard it in their ears, and images of an eagle striking the sky and halting clouds in the air flooded their minds.

Her hands extended, feet moved, the whole person like an eagle spreading its wings, darting forward, as the Yanyue Blade in her right hand grazed the ground, producing a shrill sound.

"Others use the Yanyue Blade with a horseback stance, but she uses an Eagle Strike Stance, less ferocious but more sharp!" Miss was amazed by Liu Xiaoxiao’s opening move.

Liu Xiaoxiao dashed forward, the Yanyue Blade dragging along the ground swung, the door-sized blade formed a broad circle, slicing towards Yuwen Xingjian’s head.

Its force, like Heavenly God’s cleaving of mountains, air split by the giant knife, producing a sonic boom-like sound, the fierce wind tugging Yuwen Xingjian’s clothes, seeming to tear them apart.

The power of this stroke surpassed her Eagle Claw Skill by far, demonstrating the weapon’s advantage, as no flesh alone could compare to a divine weapon, except for someone like Lin Tian.

If the Eagle Claw Skill could tear muscles, this blade, should it land, would split a person in two, even for an Ancient Martial Artist.

A mountain-cleaving, sea-parting slash seemed about to strike Yuwen Xingjian’s head. His eyes slightly narrowed, the Sky Halberd in his hand thrust upwards, the crescent-shaped blade precisely blocked the Yanyue Blade.

Their weapons collided fiercely, producing a metallic sound, and sparks erupted, like several grinding wheels slicing steel, magnificent yet dangerous.

Yuwen Xingjian felt a huge force from the Sky Halberd, a sensation as if being pressed down.

He was slightly surprised, yet remained composed, as True Qi flowed, his arms surged with immense power, turning the halberd shaft forcefully, the crescent-shaped blade clamping onto the Yanyue Blade, attempting to make Liu Xiaoxiao release it.

Liu Xiaoxiao didn’t resist with force but decisively retreated, dragging the Yanyue Blade along, producing a screeching sound on the Sky Halberd, like a steel saw cutting iron bars, as more sparks scattered.

She was like a hunting eagle, advancing like lightning, retreating like a flash, her speed quick even backward, dragging the Yanyue Blade.

Yuwen Xingjian’s plan to disarm her failed, but without hesitating, he accelerated to catch up with her, simultaneously thrusting the Sky Halberd forward.

This was the advantage of the Sky Halberd, having a spearhead and blade, capable of chopping, slashing, sweeping, and stabbing, combining the merits of spear, halberd, knife, and axe, its power enormous when driven by Yuwen Xingjian’s strength.

The gun blade of the Sky Halberd aimed directly at Liu Xiaoxiao’s back, and if this thrust hit, she not only would be skewered like candy but her heart would be shattered.

Liu Xiaoxiao naturally sensed the danger, yet her retreat was no defeat but the Sword Dragging Technique; she twisted the handle, the blade flipped, sweeping out diagonally, the enormous blade slashing horizontally at Yuwen Xingjian’s neck.

She wasn’t defending, opting for a life-for-a-life tactic, such a fierce lady winning the audience’s admiration.

Even Yuwen Xingjian was slightly amazed, such a woman he had never seen, truly putting men to shame, yet while she wished for a fight to the death, Yuwen Xingjian didn’t want to.
