Chapter 587: Five hundred and eighty-seven Yin Yang Saber, Liangyi Sword!
CHAPTER 587: FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVEN YIN YANG SABER, LIANGYI SWORD!
"Family Inherited Weapon!"
Hearing Wang Yijian’s shout, Wang Yidao didn’t hesitate much, for under Yun Xiao’s wooden sword, perhaps only the Wang Family’s heritage weapon could contend against it.
Swoosh!
Even without Wang Yijian’s reminder, Wang Yidao had already made this decision. With a sweeping motion at his waist, a shiny, thick-backed broadsword suddenly appeared in his hand.
This blade resembled the Golden Blade of the Strange Spirit Jin Wuli, although there were slight differences, the aura emitted was equally oppressive.
"Earth Rank Low Level Weapon!"
With Yun Xiao’s Power of Soul, he immediately sensed the aura of the broadsword, and at the same time, he sensed a sharp aura soaring from the other side and quickly turned his gaze.
There in the hands of Wang Yijian, the second of the Wang family, a gleaming weapon had appeared, which was also an Earth Rank Low Level treasure sword.
In Wang Yidao’s hand was an Earth Rank Low Level thick-backed broadsword, and in Wang Yijian’s hand was an Earth Rank Low Level sharp long sword. Under the mutual reflection of the sword and broadsword, they exuded an extraordinary aura.
Regarding the Imperial City’s Wang Family, Yun Xiao didn’t know much until he saw these brothers wielding Earth Rank Low Level weapons, realizing that this family, being one of the three great families of the Imperial City, probably had a deeper foundation than the Guan Family.
Generally speaking, reaching the Earth Rank in the Hidden Dragon Continent is extremely precious, like the Royal Family’s Xuantian Treasure Mirror or the Qingshan Sect’s Earth Rank Low Level Meridian Technique.
Seeing now that the Wang Family could bring out two Earth Rank weapons was somewhat unbelievable to Yun Xiao, but it was only because he was unfamiliar with the Wang Family.
Being in the position of one of the three great families of the Imperial City, whether the Song Family, Wang Family, or Guan Family, each has its special aspects, but the Wang brothers’ exceptional sword and saber skills have been the primary reason for the Wang Family’s long-standing establishment in the Imperial City.
Even generations of the Wang Family, because of these ancestral treasure swords and broadswords, turned the tide in many battles, establishing the foundation of the Imperial City’s Wang Family.
Earth Rank Low Level weapons can harness a hint of Earth Power within themselves, enhancing the weapon’s power, which naturally greatly increases the combat strength of a Peak Spirit Vein Realm Cultivator.
Previously, it was this unexpected Earth Power that left their enemies caught off-guard, ultimately dying under their swords and sabers.
With a saber in one hand and a sword in the other, Wang Yidao and Wang Yijian’s momentum greatly increased, their confidence surged especially after witnessing Yun Xiao’s technique of killing ten men, and they no longer underestimated him.
Moreover, the sword and saber brothers had once seen Yun Xiao’s performance at the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference. Fighting above one’s level presented no significant difficulty for this youth, and even if the two brothers were Peak Spirit Vein Realm experts fighting two against one, they might not be able to defeat him.
Of course, the sword and saber brothers never anticipated defeat. Besides each owning an Earth Rank Low Level weapon, after many years of fighting together, they had developed a Divided Advance and Joint Attack strategy, now it was time for Yun Xiao to truly witness it.
"Everyone, back off!"
Knowing that those Wang Family fighters were merely cannon fodder, Wang Yidao let out a loud shout, and instantly he and his brother Wang Yijian had taken up two positions.
If someone looked down from above, perhaps they would see their positions perfectly aligning with the two polar eyes of a Tai Chi fish, and between them, was a special kind of aura connecting them.
"Yin Yang Saber!"
"Liangyi Sword!"
On Wang Yidao’s solemn face, a deep shout suddenly emerged, followed by Wang Yijian also shouting out. Immediately, Yun Xiao felt the air energy around him being influenced.
If the positions of the sword and saber brothers were likened to a Yin Yang fish, then without a doubt, Yun Xiao stood at the center of this Yin Yang fish.
The Tai Chi generates the Two Instruments, the Two Instruments are Yin and Yang, the weapons, one heavy and one light, represent both hardness and softness, both Yin and Yang. The Wang brothers’ Divided Advance and Joint Attack strategy, drawn from these principles of Tai Chi and Yin and Yang, is extremely powerful and astonishing.
Yin and Yang create and restrain each other, but sometimes they complement each other, such as now, the heavy broadsword’s attack paired with the light three-foot long sword, if faced by an unwary stranger, would likely result in instant decapitation.
Because of the brothers’ temperaments, the Yin Yang Liangyi sword and saber, in fact, are opposites. Wang Yidao, who holds the thick-backed broadsword, takes a path of light and peculiar agility, while the hot-tempered Wang Yijian, wielding the long sword, swings it broadly, creating a highly unusual impression.
Unfortunately, this time the sword and saber brothers encountered Yun Xiao, a super prodigy with the memories of the past life’s Long Xiao Battle God, their novel combined attack, although innovative, seemed unremarkable to him.
In the past, while in Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, as the Long Xiao Battle God leading thousands of soldiers, commanding countless experts, naturally also researched various battle formations.
Moreover, the battle formations studied by Yun Xiao in his past life were far stronger than this so-called Yin Yang Liangyi formation, it couldn’t even be considered a slight match.
"Such trivial skills!"
Yun Xiao chuckled lightly, and with a slight movement of his body, he first dodged the long sword slash from Wang Yijian, then turned around and harshly slashed his Dragon Taming Sword towards the thick-backed sword held by Wang Yidao, mirroring Wang Yijian’s own movements.
Such reactions and speed shocked Wang Yidao, but Yun Xiao’s sword struck so swiftly that he had no opportunity to retract his hands to evade.
However, Wang Yidao was extremely confident in his Earth Rank Low Level treasure sword. Even though Yun Xiao’s Dragon Taming Sword had once severed the Golden Blade transformed by a Strange Spirit during the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, Wang Yidao merely thought that Jin Wuli lacked in strength.
"Is my Wang Family’s ancestral treasure sword inferior to your broken wooden sword?"
This was Wang Yidao’s true feeling. However, just as this confidence surged in him, he heard a faint cracking sound. Instantly, he felt the sword in his hand lighten as it snapped into two.
Crack!
It was like cutting through a piece of rotten wood — the crack resounded as Wang Yidao found the blade of his sword now shortened by half, clearly severed by the Dragon Taming Sword.
"My... My treasure sword!"
This sword was Wang Yidao’s prized possession, rarely seen by others, and it was the basis of his unbeatable success as the Wang Family Head.
Yet today, under the chopping of an old wooden sword, it didn’t even hold up for a moment. Was this really an Earth Rank Low Level treasure sword? Or did it seem more like a wooden sword meant for child’s play?
"Big brother, be careful!"
Just as Wang Yidao was momentarily stunned, a loud warning shout suddenly came. As he swiftly regained his senses, a dark light appeared before his eyes, and his heart sank.
Whoosh!
Simultaneously, seeing his elder brother in peril, Wang Yijian reacted swiftly. The treasure sword, which was normally swung wide open, now ferociously stabbed towards the back heart of Yun Xiao — a strike to save the imperiled.
However, it was as if eyes existed on the back of Yun Xiao’s head. As the sharp long sword thrust quickly towards him, the Dragon Taming Sword he wielded towards Wang Yidao’s neck suddenly twisted in mid-air, slashing backwards towards his own back.
Crack!
Another light crack sounded. Then, Wang Yijian’s Earth Rank Low Level treasure sword followed in the footsteps of the thick-backed one, the tip of the sword falling to the ground with a clear clinking sound.
Yet this time it was Wang Yijian who was momentarily stunned. Then, the dark light of Yun Xiao’s wooden sword gently swept across his neck, as if nothing had happened at all.
"Hmm? Nothing happened?"
Even Wang Yijian, the person involved, was somewhat puzzled. He clearly saw Yun Xiao’s wooden sword pass over his neck, so why didn’t he feel any pain?
"Second brother, you... you... you..."
At that moment, Wang Yidao behind Yun Xiao suddenly displayed a look of horror, as if witnessing something utterly unbelievable. This horrified expression made Wang Yijian want to lower his head to see what had happened to him.
However, no matter how hard Wang Yijian tried, his head simply would not bend. By then, a blood line had already appeared on his neck, which explained Wang Yidao’s horrified expression.
Bang!
Suddenly, Wang Yijian’s head, like a popped champagne cork, flew abruptly upwards, and the blood spurting from his neck fountain-like, terrified all the members of the Wang Family into utter silence.
Because this scene was too terrifying and bloody. As cultivators at the Peak of the Spirit Vein Realm, these Wang Family members instantly realized what had happened a moment ago.
Obviously, the wooden sword in Yun Xiao’s hand was extremely sharp, and his swing was incredibly fast — so fast that the blade had already cut through Wang Yijian’s neck before blood could gush out sending his head flying.
Such incredible speed and sharpness made all members of the Wang Family view Yun Xiao as if they were seeing a ghost or a god.
"Second brother!"
A roar of anger and desolation finally pulled back the attention of all Wang Family members, as Wang Yidao saw the tragic state of his brother and was driven to the peak of fury.
Ever since their youth, the Wang Family sword and blade brothers had depended on each other, leading the vast Wang Family to prosperity and surpassing the once second-ranking Guan Family.
But now, the sword and blade brothers would no longer exist.
