Chapter 110: The Great War Against Zhu Shoucheng (Part 2)
Feeling the power of this knife, Shangguan Yu did not panic. He grasped the Youlong spear with both hands and performed the "Bagua Youlong Spear" with all his heart. Just as the knife was about to chop onto Shangguan Yu's body, at the critical moment, a dragon's roar seemed to echo out.
"The dragon rises from the depths!"
A golden yellow dragon suddenly rushed out, and the dragon's head directly bit onto the blade of the straight knife! Uppercase Officer Yu saw the golden dragon, but he smiled with satisfaction. It had been a long time since he last saw this divine dragon, ever since it was broken by Xiao Zhen's guard after the last time, Uppercase Officer Yu couldn't use this golden dragon again.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the golden dragon was actually brought out. Fighting is indeed the best way to break through, and the more critical the situation, the greater the potential that is unleashed. Shangguan Yu also deeply understands this principle, which is why he is so enthusiastic about fighting. He doesn't have much time to waste, and since fighting can accelerate his martial arts progress, then let's fight on.
The golden dragon tightly bit the straight knife's blade, and in Zhu Shoucheng's trembling gaze, the golden dragon began to devour the oppressive blade. The golden dragon let out a roar, and the three-meter-long blade was completely eaten away. The golden dragon seemed unsatisfied, gazing at Zhu Shoucheng with a face full of longing.
This shocked Shangguan Yu, indeed it was "destroyed and then established, not destroyed and not established". The golden dragon was broken last time, but this time it came out and its expression could be seen. However, whether others can see its expression, Shangguan Yu did not know, anyway he saw it.
Zhu Shoucheng reacted and the straight knife came again, slashing towards Uemura Ukon's neck. Uemura Ukon once again used "Dragon Emerging from Abyss", and the golden dragon rapidly swam forward. A crashing sound of weapons, the Dragon Gun and the straight knife collided with each other.
Zhu Shoucheng didn't expect that this blow would be blocked by Shangguan Yu again. "Shangguan Yu, you're indeed formidable! Not only are your fist and footwork skills fierce, but you also wield a weapon so well!" Zhu Shoucheng said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for the compliment, but your martial skills are really too poor. How can a warrior from the Hou border be as bad as you?" Shangguan Yu sneered. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the Long Dragon Spear, not wanting to show that he was struggling to catch Zhu Shoucheng's straight sword every time. In fact, Shangguan Yu's palms had already been numbed by the shock, and even his tiger mouth was cracked open.
Blood slid down his hands, but when no one noticed, the blood was absorbed by the Long Dragon Gun. If not for a strong will, perhaps Upright Officer Yu could not even hold the Long Dragon Gun now. When he heard Upright Officer Yu's words, Zhu Shoucheng's face turned red.
Zhu Shoucheng grasped his brow, staring fiercely at Shangguan Yu, "Don't be smug, your death is next, and it's up to me to end your life! Remember, this day next year will be your unlucky day!"
"Ling Wu Sword Technique!" "The sword is a fatal blow!"
Zhu Shoucheng and Shangguan Yu had some feelings for each other before the battle, but as they fought on, both of them revealed their true intentions. Of course, this was also what both of them wanted to see happen. Besides, Zhu Shoucheng's initial intention in getting close to Shangguan Yu was to kill him and Qin Shou. Since that was the case, Shangguan Yu naturally didn't need to have any psychological burden.
Watching Zhu Shoucheng's knife skills become even more vicious, Shangguan Yu's expression also became solemn. "Finally using your true abilities? In that case, I will also go all out and fight you with full strength!"
"The dragon is fighting in the field!"
The yellow dragon roared in anger, but its roar was inaudible to others. Its speed increased several times over, and Dugu Yueling no longer held back, fully immersing himself in the battle. The collision of swords and spears began again, with sparks flying everywhere. However, neither Dugu Yueling nor Zhu Shoucheng were distracted, both having gathered their spirits and fighting together.
Shangguan Yu's physical body was not inferior to Zhu Shoucheng, but the gap in their martial arts realm still existed. Although Shangguan Yu could barely withstand Zhu Shoucheng's moves, he was already panting heavily. Each of Zhu Shoucheng's moves had more power than Shangguan Yu's. Relying on his superhuman combat talent, Shangguan Yu withstood Zhu Shoucheng's move after move. However, this had already exceeded Shangguan Yu's endurance, causing him to be unable to withstand it anymore.
Zhu Shoucheng sneered, "What's wrong with you, Shangguan Yu? Don't flatter yourself for a moment, and your tail will be wagging in the sky! You're just an outer door disciple like this, how dare you look down on me? What do you think you are!"
Facing Zhu Shoucheng's ridicule, Shangguan Yu didn't have any reaction. He could only use all his strength to counter Zhu Shoucheng's moves, where did he have the energy to talk? The golden dragon disappeared, replaced by a black and white double dragon. This also meant that Shangguan Yu had already fallen into a passive defensive position.
The black dragon withstood the straight knife, and when the black dragon could no longer withstand it, the white dragon would stand up. However, under Zhu Shoucheng's fierce attack, the black and white double dragons were gradually unable to withstand it. Defense is lost, Zhu Shoucheng broke through the defense of the black and white double dragons with one knife, and cut off Shangguan Yu's neck.
At the critical moment, Shangguan Yu dodged to the side, and this knife was cut on his neck. The black and white double dragons collided violently with Zhu Shoucheng's straight knife. It was just like that, which made this knife not cut too deep, otherwise, it is likely that half of Shangguan Yu's shoulder would have been cut off.
"What's wrong with you? You were so fierce just now, but why are you so weak and small now? A mere martial artist from a small region like yours dares to be arrogant in front of me?" Zhu Shoucheng snorted coldly, looking at Yu Fei with disdain.
Shangguan Yu's pupils slightly contracted, "Since defense is useless, then I won't defend! Attack is the best defense, come on, You Long Spear, let's fight side by side!"
The Dragon Gun seemed to have understood Shangguan Yu's heart, and it began to tremble with excitement. Feeling the excitement transmitted from the Dragon Gun, Shangguan Yu was filled with doubt - could the Dragon Gun really be sentient? However, for now, battle took priority; whether or not the Dragon Gun had a spirit could be researched later.
"The dragon is fighting in the field!"
The golden dragon burst out again, this time with an even more powerful momentum, charging towards Zhu Shoucheng. Zhu Shoucheng's knife technique seemed to have transformed into that strange beast as well. What kind of strange beast it was, Shangguan Yu wasn't clear. However, he did know that the last time Xu Mo used this set of knife techniques, the evolved strange beast was indeed this one.
The golden dragon and the strange beast clashed together, like a needle tip against a wheat awn, fighting evenly. The strange beast's body became increasingly clear, and it was also the first time that Shangguan Yu saw its appearance. Last time when Xu Mo used it, due to Xu Mo's low level, Shangguan Yu couldn't see what kind of creature this strange beast was.
This strange beast was like a giant python, but on its head grew a single horn. Its entire body was covered in scales, and most notably, its abdomen had two legs. Just from appearance alone, this strange beast couldn't compare to the golden dragon.
However, this strange beast was extremely ferocious. Zhu Shoucheng activated the yuanqi in his body and suppressed the golden dragon god. Shangguan Yu also activated the yuanqi in her body, but the golden dragon god was still defeated. The golden dragon god looked at the strange beast with a sense of unwillingness, making Shangguan Yu feel apologetic towards it. As a dragon, it was actually defeated by this unknown strange beast. It wasn't that the golden dragon god was weak, but rather Shangguan Yu was weaker than Zhu Shoucheng.
"Xiao Gui, I need your help, come out!" Shangguan Yu said in a low voice.
Xiao Gui suddenly appeared on Shangguan Yu's shoulder, saying with a pleased expression, "No problem, little Yu, I've slept for so long, now using my innate divine ability is no problem at all!"
" Innate Divine Ability - Dizziness!"
"Innate Divine Shield!"
Xiao Gui's two divine abilities were unleashed, and Zhu Shoucheng suddenly felt dizzy. Zhu Shoucheng's movements slowed down, but Dugu Yueling filled the Touring Dragon Spear with yuan energy. With the blessing of "Innate Divine Ability - Shield", Dugu Yueling didn't need to defend at all.
"Overdoing it will lead to regret!"
The golden dragon seemed to have regained its vigor, and it charged towards Zhu Shoucheng with great ferocity. "Plop!" Zhu Shoucheng's speed was simply too slow, and he was stabbed in the shoulder by Shangguan Yu's spear. Shangguan Yu let out a loud roar, and once again pushed the Dragon-Traveling Spear forward, causing fresh blood to flow down along the spear.
The Long Dragon Gun absorbed all the blood, and its body became even brighter. Zhu Shoucheng looked at Shangguan Yu in incredulity, having been injured by him once before, and now he was injured again. "Impossible! How can this be? With your current cultivation level, how could you possibly hurt me?"
Shangguan Yu grasped the You Long spear with both hands, and this move "Kang Long You Hui" was also just comprehended. Facing Zhu Shoucheng, a great enemy, at the critical moment, this move was extremely useful. Feeling Zhu Shoucheng's incoming slash, Shangguan Yu only smiled faintly.
Zhu Shoucheng was disrupted by "Tianfu Shentong - Dizziness", although he also cut a knife on Shangguan Yu's body, but the power of this move was not great. And Shangguan Yu had the support of "Tianfu Shentong - Shield", so this knife did not cause any harm to Shangguan Yu.
Zhu Shoucheng was shocked again, "What's going on? Even if the power is a bit smaller, it shouldn't be completely harmless, right?"
"Brother, grab his gun and don't let him move." Qin Shou stood up, the bow already appearing in his hand. "Since he wants to kill me, I won't be polite to him either. Let me end this fight!"
Upon hearing Qin Shou's words, Zhu Shoucheng suddenly came back to his senses. Shangguan Yu's expression changed as he tried with all his might to pull out the You Long spear. Zhu Shoucheng's hands suddenly lit up and tightly grasped the You Long spear. "You're thinking of pulling out your weapon now? Don't you think it's a bit late?"
"Ten thousand miles of cloud-piercing arrows, one branch stands out alone, a string of pearls follows closely, three arrows fired simultaneously!" Qin Shou shouted.
