CHAPTER 483: 407 CHAPTER ZHONGSHAN SPEAR_2

It’s truly unexpected for a fighter of this caliber to turn into a bandit. Gao Xuan was indeed surprised.

Gao Xuan showed great interest in Flying Tiger, saying: "My name is Gao Xuan. As for my background, well, it’s not important. But I’m curious where you’re from, with such refined skills, quite impressive."

Flying Tiger sneered dismissively: "With your status, you’re not worthy of knowing my background."

He raised the Zhongshan Spear, pointing at Gao Xuan: "Since you have no background, prepare to die."

Although Flying Tiger was a traitor to the Mountain Character Sect, he dared not offend the Six Paths and Eight Sects. He knew clearly, though he was formidable, provoking the wrong people could mean instant death.

If Gao Xuan had a background, he’d surely mention it, adhering to the rules of Jianghu. Without true inheritance and unable to reveal his origins, he was just another wandering soul of the martial world.

No matter how many of such people were killed, it would be no problem.

At this moment, numerous bandits heard the commotion and gathered around. The square was surrounded by a large group of bandits. They looked at Gao Xuan, then at Flying Tiger, and without orders from Flying Tiger, they dared not make a move.

Flying Tiger didn’t bother with his men, knowing that if they engaged, they’d be sent to their deaths. It was better for him to handle it personally.

Flying Tiger, without saying a word, raised his spear and thrust. What he used was the Zhongshan Spear Technique, brash and arrogant. Even the spear itself was a Zhongshan Spear.

His personality was equally brash and flamboyant, otherwise, he wouldn’t have turned against his sect over trivial matters.

Living freely in the mountain gully, Flying Tiger lived with ease but held onto a deep-seated resentment.

Occasionally, he’d go out to kill and loot to relieve the tension in his heart. As he attacked, the arrogant and fierce Spear Intent of the Zhongshan Spear Technique was truly displayed to the extreme.

The Zhongshan Spear was like a point of cold light, instantly crossing twenty steps to stab at Gao Xuan’s throat.

This spear had no other variations, only speed, precision, fierceness, and ruthlessness.

Gao Xuan sidestepped and swung his Water-Splitting Saber horizontally, blocking the Zhongshan Spear with the back of his saber. The Zhongshan Spear was too heavy and strong; blocking with the blade would easily result in it chipping.

Though the Water-Splitting Saber was a Treasure Saber, it couldn’t blindly cut through everything.

Gao Xuan blocked with the back of his saber very precisely, right at the junction of the spearhead and the spear shaft.

This part of the Zhongshan Spear had a rhombus-shaped bulge to prevent blood from flowing back along the spearhead.

At nine feet long, this was the weakest point of the spear, also the easiest to exert force.

The Zhongshan Spear, as swift as lightning, was deflected a measure, Flying Tiger shook the rear handle, causing the spearhead to twist like a Strange Python and stab at Gao Xuan’s face again. Gao Xuan swung his saber to block once more.

Flying Tiger was somewhat surprised; this person didn’t have any special Sword Technique, relying purely on precision and speed. The most impressive part was that he could always make the most accurate judgments.

However, the subtleties of the Zhongshan Spear couldn’t be imagined by a wandering soul of the martial world like you.

Flying Tiger unfolded the Zhongshan Spear, thrusting continuously like a storm.

Gao Xuan wielded his saber like a wheel, the snow-white saber light transforming into a ball of light, firmly protecting himself.

Every thrust of the Zhongshan Spear collided with the saber’s spine, sending out sparks. Under the final dim sunset’s afterglow, the snow-white saber light and the cascading sparks were extraordinarily dazzling.

The bandits on both sides were dumbfounded, their skills inadequate to even see the two men, only sensing flickering shadows. The saber light and spear flames were blinding.

Ye Jinxiu, who quietly entered and stood outside the square, also had a solemn expression.

Her martial skills were weak, but her insight was quite keen. She instantly saw Flying Tiger’s strength. Whether it was the opponent’s spear or spear technique, both were top-notch.

In this desolate and harsh land, how could there be such a master! Gao Xuan’s martial arts were such that he was forced into mere defense by the Zhongshan Spear. The situation was grim.

Ye Jinxiu tightly gripped the Flowing Light Sword, ready to control the Flying Sword to assist if the situation turned dire.

However, Flying Tiger’s internal Qi Blood Power surged like a volcano, behind him forming a giant blood-red tiger phenomenon. Though difficult to see with the naked eye, this substantive phenomenon carried potent Qi Blood Power.

This wasn’t for show but rather formed a powerful Spear Intent through externally released Qi Blood.

After dozens of moves failed to break Gao Xuan’s defenses, Flying Tiger grew impatient. The opponent had no expertise yet withstood the Zhongshan Spear—an insult to him.

"Without inheritance, no matter your natural talent, it’s useless."

Flying Tiger suddenly roared ferociously, "Die for me!"

The blood-red giant tiger also roared to the sky. Flying Tiger’s Qi Blood Power forcibly broke through to its peak. The Zhongshan Spear in his hand, like a peacock fanning its tail, scattered into thousands of spear shadows.

With Ye Jinxiu’s vision, she couldn’t discern where the real spear was. Realizing the peril, she intended to use Sword Control to support Gao Xuan.

However, as the blood-red giant tiger’s roar swept in, Ye Jinxiu’s Divine Soul was shaken by the Tiger Roar, making her unable to control the Flowing Light Sword, instead staggering backward uncontrollably.

Ye Jinxiu was shocked; Flying Tiger’s fierce roar and Qi Blood rolled over like raging flames, turning the world seemingly into a giant furnace. Her Divine Soul was directly scorched by the opponent’s Qi Blood Fire, leaving her no strength to command the Flying Sword.

Nevertheless, Gao Xuan was unaffected by the opponent’s Spear Intent. His Spiritual Power was restrained, like a great mountain anchored in the depths of his Divine Soul.

The opponent’s move targeted his Divine Soul, wonderfully executed, with potent Qi Blood Power, yet compared to his hidden Spiritual Power, it fell far short.

One must know, his inherent Spiritual Power could transcend light-year distances in spiritual travel. Flying Tiger’s Spear Intent erupted like a volcano, but his Spiritual Power was akin to the sun.

Gao Xuan remained unmoved by Flying Tiger’s Spear Intent and instead saw a flaw amidst the opponent’s full-blown strike.

The Water-Splitting Saber glided smoothly along the Zhongshan Spear, pressing inward. The so-called single-saber countering spear, the first importance was for the saber to follow closely and advance into the inner core.

This principle sounds simple. The problem is that the opponent isn’t lifeless; the spear in hand changes at will. Advancing while adhering to the spear, can you withdraw faster than others?

Gao Xuan couldn’t retract the spear faster than Flying Tiger; the issue was Flying Tiger’s full-strength spear strike was precisely when exerting force. Gao Xuan seized the moment to advance horizontally with his saber.

This move, any deviation would result in him being pierced straight through by the Zhongshan Spear.

Flying Tiger’s ability didn’t foresee Gao Xuan would employ this maneuver. By the time he intended to retract the spear, it was too late.

Seeing Gao Xuan with the Water-Splitting Saber following the spear closely, if he didn’t retreat, not only would his arms break, but he himself would be sliced into two.

At the critical moment, Flying Tiger did not retreat but seized the spear grip with his rear hand, activating the Primordial Thunder Pearl within the spear grip with powerful Qi Blood Power.

A dazzling blue Thunder Light spread along the Zhongshan Spear, instantly transforming into a blazing Thunder Light, covering a dozen feet around.

Such a domineering Thunder Skill, hitting the opponent meant certain death!

The issue was Flying Tiger sensed unease, as the Thunder Light-covered area did not include Gao Xuan.

Before Flying Tiger could react, he suddenly felt his waist tighten. Gao Xuan had already intertwined his legs like cords around his waist, curling from the ground.

Before the Thunder Light struck, Gao Xuan released the strike, adopting the Snake Form Technique, slipping below Flying Tiger’s feet. Following this extremely enigmatic move, the Strange Python Entwined wrapped around Flying Tiger’s waist.

The greatest strength of this technique lies in foreseeing the future, simultaneously executed with Flying Tiger’s Thunder Light. Flying Tiger was deceived by the Thunder Light perception, thinking Gao Xuan could avoid the Thunder Light while opportunistically countering.

The Power of Entanglement within the Strange Python Entwined technique is exceptionally powerful. A giant snake encountering a large prey would certainly use its body to wrap around; Flying Tiger only felt his spine seemingly fracture instantly, his body squeezed into two parts.

Though Flying Tiger’s Qi Blood was strong, the body was fundamental. With his body seemingly about to tear apart, his Qi Blood Power nearly collapsed.

In such a moment, Flying Tiger was utterly powerless to formulate any counterattack. Gao Xuan’s palms moved from below to lift and press, first supporting Flying Tiger’s chin, then pressing simultaneously against his ears.

This move, White Ape Offering Fruit, was part of Monkey Fist within the Twelve Forms.

White Ape Offering Fruit, hands extending upwards, intended as a feint, often used as an opening stance, signifying a respectful gesture. In Gao Xuan’s hands, this feint transformed from decay to miraculous, utilized at the most opportune moment.

Gao Xuan’s palm compression exerted a force of tens of thousands of pounds, with Flying Tiger’s head crushed flat, his eyes abruptly burst open.

With this move, Flying Tiger was instantly killed!
