CapĂtulo 1650: Chapter 1598: Avalanche
All of Song Xiaodongâs moves were fully planned in advance. Under normal circumstances, even if the opponent was an Elder with Three Meridians True Qi, three crossbow bolts were enough to inflict some injuries.
However, the elder used a protector as a shield, so it did not achieve the best result.
Nevertheless, the second and third arrows still had some effect, disrupting his True Qi.
The coordination between the knife and sword of the two was exceptionally seamless, their power extraordinary, definitely not easy to resist. Even if Su Lie stood there, he wouldnât dare confront it lightly.
âHow dare you!â the Elder shouted loudly, in the face of such danger, the aura of a strong person burst forth.
He knew very well that at this time, his True Qi was obstructed, and his strength was greatly reduced, but if he dodged now, the opponentâs continuous attacks would leave him no chance to recover.
The first to meet him was Song Xiaodongâs long knife.
After a loud shout, he grasped the handle with both hands, directly confronting Song Xiaodongâs slash.
âClang!â
Amidst the sound of metal clashing!
Song Xiaodong was bounced up directly by the shock, his tigerâs mouth trembling violently, and even his True Qi was blocked.
In this situation, Song Xiaodong did not hold back at all. This slash was executed with all his strength.
The Elder was also shaken by Song Xiaodong, his blood and Qi surging, but he immediately sensed that Song Xiaodongâs True Qi was inferior to his, and he had only two meridians of True Qi, which instantly boosted his confidence.
Just as he was about to speak, a sense of crisis suddenly struck, and then a sword tip appeared at his chest.
This sword strike was extremely strange, and the timing was perfect, just when his True Qi was stalled by Song Xiaodong.
At this moment, his mobility and reaction speed were at their worst.
He wanted to parry the sword with his knife, but it was too late.
He wanted to dodge, but that was also too late.
The only thing he could do was to sideways fiercely, using his shoulder to take on the sword strike.
âPuff!â The longsword pierced directly into his shoulder.
This sword was something Song Xiaodong had discussed with her, but the two had never practiced together. This assassination coordination was not something that could be perfected in a short time, so Song Xiaodong only mentioned the timing of the sword strike, and then relied on their tacit understanding.
But it must be said, Chu Xianlingâs comprehension was strong enough, and her coordination with Song Xiaodong was perfect, the timing of this sword strike was almost sublime.
Finally, they succeeded in injuring the Elder.
As he was struck by the sword, the Elder immediately used the force of the thrust to fly backward and retreat.
Meanwhile, Chu Xianling swiftly advanced, her longsword in hand, like a dancing dragon, launching a series of attacks on the Elder, making sure he couldnât regain his composure.
While Song Xiaodong had already landed on his feet, he took a deep breath, adjusted his True Qi, and then with a push off the ground, he flew forward in pursuit.
This was the best opportunity for the two of them. Donât be fooled by the fact that the opponent was injured; if he managed to regain composure, the two of them would still not be a match for him.
If he was a bit slower, Chu Xianling would be in danger.
Chu Xianlingâs series of continuous attacks seemed to use every bit of her skill. Against an opponent significantly stronger than herself, Chu Xianling dared not hold anything back.
However, this attack method was very draining on her True Qi. As she was about to run out of breath, she still persisted; she had to keep going until Song Xiaodong caught up, otherwise, she wouldnât be able to sustain the attack and pressure on the opponent.
âHiyah!â With a loud shout, a blade wind swept past Chu Xianlingâs side.
This relieved some of the tension in Chu Xianlingâs heart, and she relaxed her sword stance, immediately adjusting her True Qi for the second round of attack.
Chu Xianlingâs attack was agile and ethereal, dense like a starry sky.
But Song Xiaodongâs attack was broad and sweeping, seeming to be just simple straightforward chops and sweeps.
While such moves seemed easy to dodge, the Elder secretly lamented. Although Chu Xianlingâs dense attacks were difficult to defend against, because they were so scattered, their power wasnât very strong, giving him some chance to buffer.
Song Xiaodongâs way of attacking, with hidden surprises beneath the fierceness, wouldnât have scared the Elder under ordinary circumstances. But at this moment, he still hadnât caught his breath, and on top of that, his arm was injured; he really couldnât let Song Xiaodong fully execute his moves.
So the wisest strategy was to resist and confront head-on.
âClang clang clang!â
A series of clashes like firecrackers, Song Xiaodong executed six successive chops, while the Elder took on all six head-on.
After these six chops, Song Xiaodong was exhausted, and Chu Xianlingâs longsword had already struck, giving the Elder no respite.
Not far from them, on a snow-covered rock, Su Lie stood watching the battle.
From there, he could rush to their aid at any moment.
At this time, Su Lieâs eyes brightened; Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianlingâs performance was truly outstanding. Two Meridians of True Qi against Three Meridians True Qi, was an entire level of difference. Even two or more couldnât stand against a three-meridian expert.
Yet Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling had cornered the Elder, leaving him powerless to fight back.
Even though this involved elements of an ambush, a wounded Elder normally wouldnât be something two Two Meridians True Qi practitioners could provoke.
Song Xiaodong, at his current age, possessing such prowess and combat capability, how could it not be a blessing for Dragon Gate? How could Su Lie not feel joy? As long as Song Xiaodong is allowed to mature, his future development could even surpass the last Sect Leader.
