Yang Taozhi said she wanted to probe Luo Ying's background. Luo Ying took it as Yang Taozhi's response to his words, but he did not expect that Yang Taozhi really wanted to probe his background, and in such a simple and crude way.
Trying to break the law!
To achieve this, courage alone is not enough; one must also possess formidable strength.
If it were anyone else, being pressed down like that by Luo Ying's 'Ghost Supporting the Coffin' would probably mean they would never have a chance to wake up again.
Yang Taozhi's expression changed, and a powerful force shook Luo Ying's hand away, while a red light flashed from bottom to top.
Luo Ying reacted quickly, stopping her attack and retreating in time, averting a close call.
If he had slowed down even a fraction of a second, one of his arms would have been ruined.
Luo Ying steadied herself and looked at Yang Taozhi again, only to see that Yang Taozhi's slender sword had turned red.
This time, Yang Taozhi didn't wait for Luo Ying to make a move. After testing the 'Ghost Supporting the Coffin' technique, Yang Taozhi began to counterattack Luo Ying.
Her speed was slightly slower than Luo Ying's, but that was only in comparison. Her speed, like her sword, was faster than most masters.
The slender sword moved with the starfruit branch, tracing streaks of red light against the night sky.
Luo Ying raised her hand, palm facing Yang Taozhi, as if trying to grab her from afar.
"Yang Taozhi, do you think you've figured me out? Your ability to dodge the coffin-wielding ghost is nothing..."
"Ghost General!"
Luo Ying's pupils dilated suddenly, and her face turned even paler, while her eye bags gradually turned black. The contrast between the black and white on her face looked eerie.
This time, Yang Taozhi's body was not caught by Luo Ying, but the things in front of her still changed, and her vision, hearing and perception were all affected.
Aside from a few trees, the surrounding area was already an endless expanse of open space, but now the distance seemed stretched out endlessly, even distorted. The closer one listened, the more one could hear incomprehensible songs. Yet the melodies were captivating, mesmerizing, and numbing to the senses.
In Yang Taozhi's eyes, even Luo Ying's body had changed, becoming taller and darker, like a devil who had been bent over suddenly stopping!
Yang Taozhi held her breath, blocked out her hearing, and closed her eyes, but her hands and feet didn't stop; she continued running towards Luo Ying along her own route.
With each step he took and each jump, he unleashed a series of sword strikes.
Just like when she first resisted Luo Ying's attack, the rapier neither stabbed nor slashed, but rather constructed its own structure like a paintbrush.
As Yang Taozhi approached Luo Ying, she still hadn't opened her eyes, and her sword pierced through Luo Ying's body.
Luo Ying's body turned into black smoke and disappeared from the spot.
But the sword energy left by the red slender sword of the starfruit branch, stroke by stroke, has outlined a dense network pattern in the form of red lines.
Yang Taozhi, still in a half-squatting position, suddenly opened her eyes.
The red net images exploded one after another, and sword energy soared into the sky!
Bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
Not far away, Luo Ying's figure appeared. The 'Ghost General' was neutralized by Yang Taozhi. Although he was not injured, his pale face and the dark circles under his eyes still showed that his body was weaker than before after this.
Luo Ying couldn't help but exclaim, "Absolutely amazing! Truly impressive!"
Yang Taozhi turned around, facing Luo Ying, and pointed her sword diagonally at the ground.
Luo Ying was right. It was indeed a pity that there were no spectators for this battle of masters. In many people's minds, even the most powerful masters cannot surpass human strength.
But obviously,
Whether it's Luo Ying's mental control over people or Yang Taozhi's mastery of sword energy, both have exceeded the capabilities and cognitive scope of ordinary people.
A master is human, yet not human.
This is also why, in the mighty Great Jing, the largest empire in the East, there are only a handful of Grandmasters.
Luo Ying couldn't help but ask, "What's the name of your sword technique?"
Yang Taozhi said, "What's the use of those empty titles? My swordsmanship has no name, and my sword moves have no name either. As long as they are useful, that's enough."
“My vision is not as broad as yours.” Luo Ying once again expressed her opinion on vision.
“Again.” Yang Taozhi raised her arm, pointing her sword at Luo Ying.
Luo Ying sighed, "You've already figured out my weaknesses. If you've done the same, then we're evenly matched. Continuing to fight will only result in mutual destruction. I do have a suggestion."
Yang Taozhi did not put down her sword, and said, "You speak."
Luo Ying smiled and said, "We must be hungry after such a long journey. Let's find a place to have a few drinks and discuss our understanding of the Grandmaster realm. I believe we will both benefit greatly."
Yang Taozhi raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Your thinking is quite unconventional. You came here to kill people, and I came here to save people, but you invited me to drink?"
Luo Ying wasn't joking; she said seriously, "This is a simple calculation problem. Since we are opposing sides with equal strength, we can both be eliminated. Our presence or absence won't affect the final result. In that case, why not preserve our strength?"
"I originally thought you were the main force of the imperial court, but it seems I was wrong."
Yang Taozhi immediately realized what was going on and squinted as she said, "Even if neither of us is here, the Commander and Acheng still have many experts around them, so taking them down won't be easy. So... which grandmaster has arrived?"
“That’s not hard to guess,” Luo Ying said with a smile.
Yang Taozhi thought for a moment and said, "Wen Pojun?"
Luo Ying said, "Although he was slightly injured, he can still fight."
Yang Taozhi let out a long sigh and said, "Then I can't drink with you anymore."
Luo Ying asked, "Does it have to be a fight to the death?"
Yang Taozhi said, "You are already showing signs of fatigue, but it's not that I don't have a chance to beat you."
Luo Ying said, "Even if you can defeat me, it won't be a quick process. By then, Wen Pojun will have already succeeded, and your efforts will be meaningless."
As she spoke, Luo Ying glanced at the night sky and said, "Just a heads up, if my estimate is correct, Wen Pojun will arrive by dawn. And listen to this, Zhenhai Camp has finished its preparations and is setting off. Du Yucheng is crazy; he dares to disregard the casualties of Zhenhai Camp, and Xu Shouli can't stop him."
Yang Taozhi knew that Luo Ying was telling the truth, and she had heard it too.
Zhenhai Camp is not only setting off, but it is setting off in a very urgent manner.
Another round of frantic pursuit is about to begin.
But Yang Taozhi didn't think much of it. She swung her right arm, creating a sword flourish at her side, pointing the sword at Luo Ying with a resolute gaze.
His eyes not only showed a desperate determination, but also the courage to fight a battle with his back against the wall.
Luo Ying asked, "Are we still going to fight?"
Yang Taozhi said, "We should fight."
Even if it's meaningless?
"It makes sense."
Luo Ying asked again, "What's the significance?"
Yang Taozhi said arrogantly, "If what you say is true, even if I defeat you, there won't be enough time. So I'll kill you as revenge for them!"
