Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 17: Sword of the Immortal: Slaying the Demonic Dragon

In terms of the exquisite techniques, he was no less than Yang Sheng. In terms of control over the body, he was even better than Yang Sheng!

However, there was an insurmountable gap between him and Yang Sheng, and that was their cultivation of elemental energy.

His attacks landed on Yang Sheng, but could not break through his blood and energy manifestation!

"Even if my Honglu Shifting is able to break through to the fourth level at this moment, I still cannot break through his blood defense. His body is like it has grown a thick layer of crocodile skin!"

Su Yun stepped back to avoid Yang Sheng's attacks.

The Honglu Shifting has two parts, the first part is to cultivate elemental energy, move blood and energy, and send the elemental energy to all parts of the body, slowly strengthening the physique.

But the main purpose of the first part is to enhance the cultivation of elemental energy.

The second part of the Honglu Shifting, the Crocodile Dragon Song, is the practical application of the cultivation of elemental energy in combat.

In addition to its combat effectiveness, the Crocodile Dragon Song also greatly enhances the physique.

The three achievements of the Crocodile Dragon Song, Thunder Sound, Manifestation, and Manifestation of Blood, are all effects of strengthening the blood and energy and the physique.

The second part greatly enhances the physique, much faster and better than the first part.

When the third achievement of the Crocodile Dragon Song is achieved, the body is almost as tough as crocodile skin, even a knife would only leave a light wound.

Su Yun's attacks could not harm Yang Sheng because of this reason.

In the small grove, Yang Sheng pressed on step by step, with various freehand techniques emerging one after another.

Su Yun kept retreating and also used freehand techniques to block Yang Sheng's attacks. Yang Sheng's attacks became faster and faster, and Su Yun's freehand techniques became more and more proficient. However, no matter how exquisite his techniques were, he could not harm Yang Sheng.

The strength from Yang Sheng's punches and kicks became stronger and stronger, forcing Su Yun to keep retreating to remove Yang Sheng's strength. His arms and legs were getting more and more numb, and his skin was covered in bruises.

"Junior Brother, your aptitude is truly beyond my expectations!"

Yang Sheng attacked crazily, and his voice came through the sound of thunder: "No wonder Water Mirror is willing to spend ten days teaching you here! A person who can make him willingly spend ten days is truly extraordinary, even higher than me!"

Su Yun forcibly blocked one of his freehand techniques, and was shaken with his blood and energy churning. He stumbled back, and Yang Sheng took advantage of this to hit him with another freehand technique, hitting his chest.

Su Yun's clothes were torn apart, revealing several deep scratches on his chest.

"Even Water Mirror appreciates your aptitude, so as your senior brother, I should also appreciate and cherish talent." Yang Sheng swept his foot, and his blood and energy turned into a crocodile dragon's tail.

Su Yun dodged with a wrong step, knowing that Yang Sheng's next move would definitely be the Crocodile Dragon Song's freehand technique, but his arms were weak and he couldn't resist it. Yang Sheng's half move of the Crocodile Dragon Song hit his shoulder.

Su Yun's shoulder muscles twitched, but he couldn't push his hand away.

Yang Sheng exerted force with his five fingers, and easily dislocated Su Yun's right shoulder bone and twisted his shoulder tendon. He smiled and said, "But suddenly I thought, wouldn't it be one more competitor if I let you live?"

Su Yun groaned, forcibly breaking free from him, and quickly retreated like a crocodile dragon retreating into the abyss.

Yang Sheng came roaring like a giant crocodile driving through the water.Su Yun knew that the next attack would be the Crocodile Dragon Tail, but he didn't have the strength to block it.

"There are already enough competitors in Shuofang City!" Yang Sheng's Qi violently shook his chest, emitting the sound of the Crocodile Dragon Thunder.

As Su Yun expected, Yang Sheng used the half-move Crocodile Dragon Tail again. Su Yun could only raise his dislocated right shoulder to block it, and was swept away by Yang Sheng.

Bang!

He crashed into a big tree, and intense pain spread from his right shoulder.

Su Yun sat on the ground, gritting his teeth, not making a sound, but tears flowed from the corners of his eyes due to the pain.

Since he became blind, he had suffered too much, stumbling, hitting his head, falling into pits, being mocked and insulted by "people". Over the years, he had learned to endure the pain.

He knew that making a sound wouldn't make him feel better, and tears were useless, they would only bring ridicule and mockery.

But this time, the pain was too much.

"One less competitor, and I will have one more chance to climb up!"

Yang Sheng charged again, various hand-to-hand techniques exploded from his fists and feet. His Qi and momentum were like a crocodile dragon with four or five heads and multiple tails, powerful, twisted, and eerie, in Su Yun's perception.

Su Yun struggled to stand up and face the increasingly huge monster, but he no longer had the strength to fight against Yang Sheng.

"Don't kill Little Yun Ge!"

Su Yun heard Qing Qiuyue's voice and then saw a small crocodile dragon being knocked away by the crocodile dragon monster.

"Little Yun Ge, run!"

Su Yun heard Li Xiaofan's voice and then saw another small crocodile dragon rushing forward, but was stepped on by the crocodile dragon monster, spitting blood.

"Little Yun, survive and avenge us and Huqiu Village!" Hua Hu's voice came.

He also saw Hua Hu and Hu Buping fighting for their lives, trying to buy time for him to escape.

Su Yun felt his heart tearing apart, felt a burning sensation in his lungs, and his eyes suddenly became sore and swollen. Tears flowed down, but he still couldn't see anything.

He could only "see" the huge crocodile dragon monster in front of him with his Qi, blood, and momentum, which beat the two small crocodile dragons, making them spit blood and twist.

He gasped for breath and "saw" the huge crocodile dragon monster leaping up, growing more heads and tails, and pouncing at him!

Yang Sheng's Crocodile Dragon Yin was almost perfect, powerful enough to make people despair!

Su Yun forcibly lifted his almost useless right arm and swung it hard. His Qi and blood rushed to the dislocated right arm, forcibly restoring the bones and tendons!

Unprecedented pain made him scream.

The shouting seemed to break through his fear of death, and scenes of the Divine Crocodile Crossing Tribulations and the Immortal Sword slaying the Divine Crocodile appeared in his mind.

That was his nightmare.

With his painful shout, the Immortal Sword in his nightmare attacked again.

"Ah!"

Su Yun waved his right arm, which seemed to overlap with the Immortal Sword, and met the ferocious crocodile dragon monster with multiple heads and tails!

His right arm didn't use any hand-to-hand techniques of the Crocodile Dragon Yin, it was just a plain slash.This ordinary strike pierced through Yang Sheng's Crocodile Dragon Roar.

Yang Sheng's moves kept changing, but he couldn't stop this sword.

"Is this swordsmanship?"

Yang Sheng looked puzzled: "Is it taught by Master Shui Jing?"

Su Yun's right palm blade slashed at his throat, and Yang Sheng heard a cracking sound, his face changing slightly.

Su Yun used his right arm as a sword, crushing his protective qi and blood, cutting off his larynx and vocal cords.

Yang Sheng heard the whistling sound of the wind again, which was caused by the rupture of the major arteries on both sides of his larynx, and the impact of blood on his eardrums.

He heard another cracking sound, which was the sound of Su Yun's palm blade cutting through his throat and hitting his fourth cervical vertebra.

Under the force of this sword, his fourth cervical vertebra was shattered along with the cartilage connecting it to the third and fifth cervical vertebrae!

As Su Yun's sword took effect, his fourth cervical vertebra protruded two inches and four points from the back of his neck.

Bang!

His body hit a nearby tree, and the bark behind the tree suddenly exploded as his fourth cervical vertebra struck it like a sharp blade.

The big tree shook violently, making a rustling sound, and countless leaves fell.

He raised his hand to cover his throat, but everything went black before his eyes.

"Master Shui Jing is biased, he taught him the swordsmanship to break the Crocodile Dragon Roar..." This thought in Yang Sheng's mind gradually faded as his blood stopped flowing.

Yang Sheng stared with wide eyes as his body slid down the tree and sat on the ground.
