In the martial arts world, there are many unorthodox and risky techniques that involve fighting to the death.
Techniques like the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique" and the "Golden Needle Acupuncture" currently used by Chu Qinghe can both stimulate a martial artist's potential and greatly increase their strength in a short period of time.
However, the aftereffects are also particularly obvious. At best, one loses all their skills and becomes a cripple; at worst, one dies.
Once used, it's basically a suicidal move.
The current situation has shifted in favor of Chu Qinghe and Dongfang Bubai.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were already considering withdrawing.
Even under such circumstances, Chu Qinghe still resorted to desperate methods like needling acupuncture points, which caused even Pang Ban's expression to suddenly change.
When Dongfang Bubai, who had just regained consciousness, heard the words "acupuncture with golden needles" in Pang Ban's words, his expression changed drastically.
However, before Pang Ban and Dongfang Bubai could think further, Chu Qinghe's true energy surged again in the distance, and his true energy fluctuations instantly jumped to the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.
As Chu Qinghe tilted his body, he appeared in front of Pang Ban in an instant.
With the rampage of sword energy and sword intent, the sword tip pierced through the air, accompanied by a series of soft chimes, and instantly broke through to Pang Ban's front, only three inches away from Pang Ban's chest.
Upon noticing this change, Pang Ban's heart shifted. He circulated his true energy, causing his robes to move without wind, his cloak to billow upwards, and his black hair to fly down.
The next instant, Chu Qinghe felt as if layers of invisible barriers had appeared out of thin air before his sword strike.
The distance of less than an inch felt as if it had broken through hundreds of invisible barriers.
When the sword struck Pang Ban, the remaining force and sword intent within it failed to break through Pang Ban's protective aura.
On the other hand, Pang Ban used the residual force from Chu Qinghe's sword strike to swing his body backward again. Then, with a shift in his true energy, Pang Ban's body soared high into the air like a great eagle.
Chu Qinghe frowned slightly as he witnessed this scene.
With a sudden, forceful stomp on the ground, his body leaped into the air, and the longsword that had been hanging down at his feet was quickly raised.
As Chu Qinghe's body soared into the air, the long sword in his hand shot out.
The setting sun cast a glimmer of light on the snow, instantly illuminating the eyes of everyone on Bright Summit.
As the longsword pierced the air, Chu Qinghe's true energy surged wildly into the sword in his hand with an overwhelming force.
With the blessing of the Flying Immortal Sword Intent, the snowflakes that were originally gathered around Chu Qinghe were also attracted and quickly gathered together.
When Chu Qinghe straightened his arm and extended his longsword forward another three inches, the sword energy and sword intent emanating from the sword, mixed with the true energy containing a little powder, condensed in the air into a ten-zhang-long ice-blue sword-shaped phantom that swept behind the people next to him.
Chu Qinghe's movements were very slow, so slow that everyone could clearly see what he was doing.
Strangely enough, from the moment Chu Qinghe raised his sword to the moment the sword energy phantom condensed, it was only a moment.
The visual difference between fast and slow actually gives one a subtle feeling of discomfort and tightness in the chest.
Even though the dazzling sword-shaped phantom in the sky was heading towards Pang Ban and the others, when the warriors on Bright Peak saw the huge sword-shaped phantom in the sky, they still felt their hands and feet go cold.
At the same time, Pang Ban and Kumārajīva, who were still in mid-air, also clearly noticed the unusual movement behind them.
Turning their heads quickly, both Kumārajīva and the Golden Wheel Monk felt a chill in their hearts when they saw the sword-shaped phantom rushing towards them.
Even Pang Ban's expression was extremely solemn at this moment.
If this were during his prime, Pang Ban, with his strength, would naturally not have cared too much about this move.
However, due to the effects of the poison Chu Qinghe had previously used, Pang Ban's cultivation level has now dropped to the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
Faced with this full-force sword strike unleashed after forcibly raising his cultivation to the early stage of the Grandmaster realm by piercing acupoints with golden needles, even Pang Ban couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
In response, Pang Ban growled, "Let's attack together."
As soon as he spoke, Pang Ban unleashed his true energy, sending Zhao Min and the two elders of Xuanming flying into the air. He gathered all his true energy, and his pupils instantly turned purple. With a low shout, a fist shadow nearly ten feet long slammed into the sword-shaped phantom in the air.
Knowing that something was wrong, neither Kumārajīva nor the Golden Wheel Monk dared to say anything more.
With his true energy condensed, a sword shadow with flames nearly nine feet long was unleashed in front of Kumārajīva.
Golden Wheel Monk also unleashed a powerful palm strike, condensing into a five-zhang-long (approximately 16.6 meters) handprint of true energy.
As the three of them unleashed their full power, an invisible wave instantly erupted and spread from mid-air, affecting the sword-shaped phantom in the air.
Under the attack of the three, the sword-shaped phantom in mid-air instantly broke through their attacks and continued to approach Pang Ban and the others.
However, compared to the beginning, the power of this sword-shaped phantom has been significantly reduced.
Even so, when the sword-shaped phantom landed on Pang Ban and the others, the sword intent and sword energy within it brutally tore through the protective true energy gathered around Pang Ban and the others and then slammed into them.
"Puff, puff, puff"
Under this attack, Pang Ban and the other two in mid-air all spat out a mouthful of blood, and their bodies shot out like arrows.
However, in the instant he was sent flying backward, Pang Ban gritted his teeth and mobilized the true energy in his body. After pulling Zhao Min and the two elders of Xuanming back in mid-air, he forcibly twisted his body and quickly flew away into the distance.
