Chapter 91: Twin Blades Appear, Outcome Decided

Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Twin Blades Appear, Outcome Decided

"It’s over!"

"It’s over!"

This thought instantly crossed many people’s minds, especially those whose view was previously blocked by Sun Jin’s expanded body.

However...

"SWISH! SWISH!"

Lu Yuan’s twin blades were the first to strike. His speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen. The blade’s reflection was like moonlight, and its aura was as sharp as a needle’s point!

If Sun Jin had curled into a ball and condensed his Gang Qi, Lu Yuan’s blades truly wouldn’t have been able to cut through. But at this moment, his body was expanded, and his Gang Qi was dispersed, with most of it gathered in his hands. Therefore, the defense of his lower body was extremely weak. If he was struck, he would definitely suffer severe injuries.

With no other choice, Sun Jin quickly retracted his surging blood vitality and Gang Qi, rapidly shrinking his body down to dodge.

"SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!"

Lu Yuan chased after him, unleashing a flurry of wild, consecutive slashes as he pressed his advantage.

Sun Jin’s expression shifted drastically. With his blood vitality unstable, he was forced to continuously retreat and dodge. He just needed to stabilize his blood vitality and re-condense his Gang Qi before launching a counterattack.

But the speed of Lu Yuan’s twin-blade slashes was simply too fast. Furthermore, the wound on Sun Jin’s shoulder, previously shot by Lu Yuan’s arrow, was starting to take its toll. Just a moment ago, his surging blood vitality had nearly burst out from that very spot, worsening the injury.

"SQUELCH! SQUELCH! SQUELCH!"

Multiple wounds appeared on Sun Jin’s body. Though not very deep, they were long and narrow, and could not be ignored. The crux of the matter was that he couldn’t find an opportunity to strike back. The twin-blade combination was incredibly fast, striking from all sorts of tricky angles that were impossible to defend against.

"SQUELCH! SQUELCH! SQUELCH!"

Several more gashes opened up on Sun Jin. Blood flowed out freely, dyeing half of his body red and making him look utterly miserable. Even Sun Jin himself found this hard to accept. The spectators were even more stunned, their eyes glued to the scene.

"Twin blades!"

"A twin-blade style!"

"The left and right sides are using different techniques, and each is incredibly flexible and exquisite!"

"A top-tier blade technique!"

"Twin-blade styles aren’t rare, but one so brilliant and flawless..."

"A genius! He’s definitely a genius!"

"Nonsense, if he weren’t a genius, could he have beaten the Eighth Grade Peak Sun Jin into such a state?"

The crowd exclaimed in awe. No one dared to underestimate Lu Yuan anymore—this youth who had only recently joined the Demon Suppression Bureau and wasn’t even sixteen yet.

Lu Yuan had proven himself using the Nine Glories of Archery and his twin blades. Even if he lost today, he would still be known as a resounding teenage blade genius and a representative of the twin-blade style in the Demon Suppression Bureau’s East Office.

"So this is his true trump card!" Jiang Hongfei was a little dazed. He realized that if Hidden Weapons relied on trickery and archery was a specialized skill with many limitations, then this twin-blade technique put Lu Yuan’s true strength on full display. It was as dazzling as the stars. Deep down, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy and jealousy. He knew that if he could do the same, he would definitely be able to boast about it throughout the Jiang Family and even across the Jade Capital, vastly increasing his status. However...

Nearby, Mu Lingche came to a sudden realization. He finally understood the method Lu Yuan had used to kill that High Tier Eighth Grade Martial Artist. He had wondered why the blade wounds from that day were so strange; it turned out to be a twin-blade style. Before reaching the Seventh Grade, the twin-blade style was undoubtedly an extremely powerful technique with very obvious advantages. But the requirements were high, and very few people could train it to Great Success. After reaching the Seventh Grade, its usefulness would diminish. It was only effective in close combat or when a High Tier Martial Artist was slaughtering Low Tier ones as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, Yu Qiuyang felt sick with jealousy. To think that Lu Yuan actually knew a twin-blade style... But that didn’t matter much anymore. He didn’t believe Lu Yuan could win; he was certain the boy would lose very soon.

On the training field, Sun Jin finally managed to suppress and calm his internal blood vitality, and his powerful True Gang condensed once again.

"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"

Lu Yuan’s blades slashed against the barrier but struggled to break through. The True Gang of an Eighth Grade Peak was twice as dense as the True Gang of an Initial Stage, and its power was several times stronger.

"Heh heh, your time is up. Accept your defeat!" Sun Jin forcibly withstood Lu Yuan’s blade edge and threw a fierce punch. His Gang Qi was ferocious, capable of destroying anything in its path.

"SWISH!"

Lu Yuan dodged to the side, refusing to take the blow head-on.

"Where are you running?" Sun Jin charged forward, throwing another punch.

"BOOM!"

This time, with his fist wrapped in Gang Qi, Sun Jin instantly detonated the air within several meters in front of him. It was absolutely terrifying. The power of this punch reached its absolute limit, breaking through the ten-thousand-jin mark! The area of effect was massive. There was no room to dodge and nowhere to hide!

Sensing the danger, Lu Yuan decisively discarded one of his blades and met the attack with a palm wrapped in Gang Qi.

"BANG!"

Lu Yuan used the force of the impact to launch himself backward.

"Hmm?" Sun Jin was momentarily taken aback, but he charged forward once again.

"SWOOSH!"

Right at that moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot toward him. It was Lu Yuan, throwing the arrow with his bare hand.

Startled, Sun Jin instinctively dodged to the side.

"THUD!"

Lu Yuan landed on the ground, immediately lunged forward again, retrieved his longbow, nocked an arrow, drew it to the full, and took aim at Sun Jin.

"You..." Sun Jin ground to a halt, gnashing his teeth as he glared at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan had startled him by throwing the arrow by hand just a second ago, and now, the boy had regained control of his Ten-Ton Bow. Sun Jin had already experienced the power of the Ten-Ton Bow. Right now, he had neither a blade nor a shield in his hands. His Gang Qi alone wouldn’t be able to block it.

"Shoot, then! You only have one chance!" Sun Jin sneered maliciously. With the distance between them under ten meters, Lu Yuan could only fire a single arrow. As long as he dodged it, he could instantly lunge in for the kill again.

"SWOOSH!"

Lu Yuan fired without a shred of hesitation. The arrow pierced the air.

Panicking, Sun Jin swiftly dodged, successfully evading the attack. Then, he lunged forward violently.

"SLASH!"

Lu Yuan used his bow like a blade, slashing out with extreme speed.

Caught off guard, Sun Jin threw up a palm to block it.

"SWISH!"

Lu Yuan quickly pulled out four arrows. Using the recoil to retreat, he nocked three of them onto the bowstring.

"Dammit!" Sun Jin cursed under his breath, stumbling backward.

"SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"

The three arrows were fired simultaneously. It was a Three-Seal Arrow Formation! Its power might not have been great, but it could restrict a Martial Artist’s movements, reducing their avenues of escape.

With his body injured, the more Sun Jin exerted himself, the more blood he spewed, and the worse his injuries became. Facing the three incoming arrows, he gritted his teeth and tried his hardest to dodge.

"SWISH!"

Lu Yuan nocked the fourth arrow, drew the bowstring to the full, and fired.

"SWOOSH!"

"SQUELCH!"

Sun Jin failed to dodge this time. His shoulder was struck, the arrow piercing clean through. His body swayed unsteadily.

"SWISH!"

Lu Yuan pulled out his final six arrows, quickly nocking two of them and taking aim. "Admit defeat!"

"I... I can’t possibly lose!" Sun Jin roared, his eyes rapidly becoming bloodshot.

"SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"

"SQUELCH! SQUELCH!"

Both arrows hit their mark. One lodged itself in his body, while the other pierced straight through. Lu Yuan had fired right when Sun Jin’s emotions were in turmoil.

"You... I..." Sun Jin bared his teeth, but the light in his eyes rapidly dimmed. With one arrow wound, he still had a chance to counterattack. But with three, he had zero chance of winning. Furthermore, Lu Yuan still held four arrows in his hand...

"SWISH!"

Lu Yuan nocked an arrow and drew his bow once again.

"Stop!" Wang Zhong barked, quickly moving to intervene.

"What are you doing?" Chen Qiang blocked his path. "The match isn’t over yet."

"Not over yet?!" Wang Zhong roared.

"SWOOSH!"

Lu Yuan released the bowstring.

"SQUELCH!"

An arrow pierced straight through Sun Jin’s chest.

"You..." Flames of fury gathered in Wang Zhong’s eyes.

"He refused to admit defeat, so I had no choice but to immobilize him first," Lu Yuan calmly explained. "Don’t worry, it didn’t hit any vitals. His life isn’t in danger."
