Chapter Seventy-three: Riding the Whale and Boiling Waves
Shang Jiutian went out of the palace and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Zhang Ji ambushing him. He also saw Chu Jianghan chasing after him, so he thought of a plan to repel Chu Jianghan first.
He flew alone towards the bushes, hoping to take advantage of the geographical advantage to deal with Chu Jianghan. Unexpectedly, Chu Jianghan used Xumi Sanyin's unique skill, and the speed and agility of his body skills were not inferior to his own. After ten seconds, Here, instead of getting rid of Chu Jianghan, he was caught up by the opponent several times and was almost injured by his sword energy.
Shang Jiutian first led Chu Jianghan to look at various entrances on the island. He saw that all the formations were destroyed and all the Qinglong Guards guarding them were killed. The guards in Jinyi are masters with special skills, and they are also well-trained. They have already blocked the entrance and exit again in the light and dark.
Shang Jiutian was afraid that the Jin Yiwei would come to harass him again, so he did not dare to rush out, so he used Qinggong again and led Chu Jianghan to spare most of the island.
When they reached a beach on the back of the island, they stopped one after the other.
Shang Jiutian turned around and said: "Brother Chu, I treat you well. Not only do I teach you my secret skills, but I am also willing to teach you the position of leader. Why on earth do you still want to be my enemy?"
Chu Jianghan was speechless for a moment and simply stood up without answering.
Shang Jiutian encountered a huge change, and he couldn't help but become paranoid. The more Chu Jianghan stopped talking, the more uneasy he felt, thinking that the other party was waiting for an opportunity to find a loophole. After a few words, they stopped talking, and the two of them gathered their skills and reached a stalemate. Once they were together, no one dared to take action rashly.
Facing a cliff and a mountain with surging sea water, Shang Jiutian secretly complained that he was not good. He was careless when he secretly said that his way was cut off by Chu Jianghan. At this moment, there was no retreat. The only chance of survival was to get rid of the junior in front of him.
Xu Shishang had experienced many honors and humiliations in Jiutian, and Chu Jianghan could not see a trace of failure on his face at this moment. Seeing that he was still calm and energetic, he felt even more admiration.
After all, Chu Jianghan was young and couldn't bear it any longer. He was the first to speak: "Master Shang can still maintain such a demeanor despite such a great defeat. He is worthy of being a supreme master and a great master. This younger generation really admires and admires him."
After hearing this, Shang Jiutian laughed wildly and said: "These few words are really from the bottom of my heart. I am very happy after hearing this. I am so happy!" He then said: "You are just starting out, although you have learned many unique skills from many famous teachers. , but still the dragon’s nature has not yet matured and the tiger’s heart has not yet been determined. You can’t understand my feelings.”
Chu Jianghan said: "Master Shang, the guardians, envoys and guards under you, as well as the leaders of the altar, are really in doom this time. The foundation you have worked so hard to build throughout your life is about to fall."
Shang Jiutian laughed a few more times, then let out a long sigh and said, "The right time, the right place, the right people, and all the people are not with me. How can I be invincible?"
Chu Jianghan said: "Please forgive me, junior, for speaking frankly. Based on your ability and talent, you not only have a complete magical power, but also recruit the world's masters. If you don't do these things that expand the territory and bring harm to the country and the people, but focus on founding a sect." , teaching apprentices and skills, how could it end up like today?"
After hearing this, Shang Jiutian was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you know?" Chu Jianghan also smiled and said, "You have learned a martial arts that is invincible in the world, what is the use of it?"
After hearing this, Shang Jiutian was speechless for a long time. He turned around and said to himself: "Really? I have learned a martial arts that is invincible in the world. What is the use of it?"
Seeing that he was in a trance, Chu Jianghan shouted loudly and struck his vest with a sword. Unexpectedly, Shang Jiutian seemed to have a blind eye in the back of his head. He turned slightly to one side, threw out half of the demon-binding lock from his sleeve, and returned the move. . Chu Jianghan's arm was numb and he almost lost his sword.
Shang Jiutian grinned and laughed like a child, and said: "Hey, I have learned a martial arts that is invincible in the world, and I have recruited so many capable people and strangers. If I don't change the world, I can still bring happiness to all the people in the world. What else can the world do?" He suddenly became angry and shouted: "Have you not seen how the people of the world are living? He surnamed Zhu can't sit in the country and provide the people of the world with adequate food and clothing, so he should get a better one. Come……"
Chu Jianghan said: "With weapons and weapons, life will be ruined, and it is the common people who will suffer after all!"
Shang Jiutian laughed wildly and cursed: "Bah! Look at this world, if there were no weapons, there would be no life in ruins?"
Chu Jianghan was speechless for a moment, feeling that what he said was not unreasonable, so he pulled out the sword and slowly put it into the sword box.
Shang Jiutian laughed several times and said: "I won't argue with you today. One day, you can go and ask the members of the White Lotus Sect whether their livelihood has improved after joining our sect, whether their diseases can be cured, whether widows and widowers can be supported, and whether they can live alone." Whether it can be maintained."
Chu Jianghan suddenly stopped thinking about taking action and stopped answering him.
Shang Jiutian roared loudly and said: "Boy, if you want to take my life, just do it!" Before he finished speaking, the half chain struck Chu Jianghan with a huge force of ten thousand kilograms.
Chu Jianghan was frightened, turned around, took out his sword, and used all his strength to return the sword.
Shang Jiutian shouted again, and the chains were wrapped continuously towards Chu Jianghan like drizzle of spider silk. Chu Jianghan used the seventy-two Danyang sword techniques to fight back hard.
In an instant, there was a sound of gold and iron, and fire was shining, and the two men were fighting fiercely.
Shang Jiutian has profound martial arts, and he can also combine many unique skills in palm, boxing, and sword. He is usually good at the Three Talents Palm. However, for a master like him, all kinds of martial arts are interlinked when practiced to the extreme, so he has a chain in his hand. , sometimes incorporating palm skills into it, and sometimes mixing sword skills into it, the moves are specious but surprisingly powerful.
Chu Jianghan was proud that he had learned seventy-two Danyang Sword Techniques from Taoist priests, and had been taught and mastered by the mad beggar Wu Mingming. Recently, he had been tutored by Shang Jiutian in the practice of internal martial arts. He had achieved great success in all kinds of martial arts, especially swordsmanship. In the realm of doing whatever you want, there is no disadvantage when it comes to making moves.
On top of Shang Jiutian's internal energy and the demon-binding lock, and the demon-binding lock was already extremely hard, he had superb skills and experience, and managed to use a steel cable to open it, and it actually came into contact with the peerless magic weapon Zhenyue Sword in Chu Jianghan's hand. General power.
The two of them each relied on what they had learned, and each used their own tricks to adapt to the situation at any time. Sometimes they would sell a flaw to lure the other side to attack, and sometimes they would use their brains to come up with clever tricks to attack the other side's vital points. They were all in contact with each other, and for a time The two have fought more than five hundred moves, and it is still difficult to tell the winner.
Shang Jiutian paid attention to the vast sea on one side, and suddenly he deliberately used a flaw to lose half a move. He stopped fighting, waved his hand, and said: "You and I will never win or lose unless we fight until our true energy is exhausted. Why don’t we try another method and fight again.”
Chu Jianghan saw that the door was wide open when Shang Jiutian was speaking. He knew that it would be difficult to defeat him unless he was caught by surprise, so he took the opportunity to strike at him with his sword.
The dragon roared endlessly in the vertical and horizontal directions of the sword energy, and sand and gravel flew under his feet. Shang Jiutian grabbed the demon-binding lock with both hands and held it in front of his chest to block it, but he saw sparks flashing and gold and iron clashing. After all, the demon-binding lock was no sharper than Zhenyue's sword, and the end of it broke in half.
Chu Jianghan used all his strength with this sword, so it was so powerful that it only made his arm numb. Shang Jiutian's arms were sore and he couldn't stop breathing. He abandoned half of the demon-binding chain, took advantage of the situation, jumped behind him, and dived into the vast waves with a splash.
Chu Jianghan thought he had narrowly defeated another half of the move. Just when he was feeling proud, he saw that the opponent had gotten into the water to escape. Then he shouted that he had been fooled, picked up half of the demon-binding lock, and jumped into the sea to chase after him.
When he entered the water for the first time, Chu Jianghan thought that the other party was trying to use his proficiency in water to attack him, so he held the sword in one hand and the steel rope in the other to guard himself carefully.
When he discovered Shang Jiutian's figure, he was swimming forward with all his strength and had no intention of fighting.
"Well, you old boy, it turns out you want to escape." Chu Jianghan returned the sword to its sheath and shook half of the steel cable. The demon-binding lock rolled up a whirlpool in the water, and a water column hit the back of Shang Jiutian's head.
Shang Jiutian suddenly felt something strange behind him, and hurriedly turned around and waved his palms to greet him. When the two water columns collided, they immediately boiled, setting off a huge wave several feet high and sprayed upwards.
Shang Jiutian saw that the opponent had half of the demon-binding lock in his hand. He was afraid that he would sneak attack again. He stopped swimming forward out of fear and struck Chu Jianghan with a palm first. Chu Jianghan struck back with his palm. In an instant, there was another The waves are surging and have the potential to overturn the river and sea.
The two faced each other head-on, hitting the water with all their palm power. After more than thirty moves, they felt that each other had sufficient internal strength and felt that they were equally matched.
This movement aroused the monster in the water. The two were fighting each other when they heard several long chants coming from far away.
When I looked back, I saw a huge creature rushing towards me. Chu Jianghan was so stunned that he almost choked down a mouthful of seawater.
After forcing himself to calm down, a dark living creature swam past him. The monster was as big as a mountain.
When he looked again, Shang Jiutian had already turned over, with his limbs spread out and attached to the monster's back.
Chu Jianghan reacted immediately. With a shake of his right arm, the other section of the chain had inserted more than three feet into the monster's back. Chu Jianghan took the opportunity to grab the chain and attached it to the monster's back.
The monster groaned again in pain, and then rushed towards the water. In an instant, Chu Jianghan only felt the sea water on both sides passing through like knives, with the force of a thousand pounds. If not for the strength of his limbs to suck the monster's back and tightly hold the chain, he would have been washed away by the sea water.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and his body felt light, and the monster rushed up to the surface of the water several feet away. He just had time to take a breath of air. When he saw it clearly again, the monster fell back down into the sea water again. Chu Jianghan was slapped and squeezed by the sea water, his whole body ached, and the blood in his chest was churning.
Just as he was adjusting his blood vessels, he suddenly felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his chest. He felt pain all over his body. Immediately, there was another surge of energy and blood, and he could hardly hold on. It turned out that the monster was diving down.
Chu Jianghan had no choice but to recite the mantra silently and gradually regulate his blood vessels.
The monster seemed to dive into the Nine Netherworld. Chu Jianghan gradually felt the pressure on his body lessen again, and he saw light in front of his eyes. The monster came out of the water again, and after a long groan, it quickly dived down again.
After repeating this for many times, Chu Jianghan understood that every time the monster surfaced, it was breathing, and Chu Jianghan also breathed. The monster dived into the deep sea of Jiuyou, and Chu Jianghan silently used Xuan Gong to adjust his breath. Protect your life.
The monster seemed to go up and down every time for more than an hour. After three or four times, Chu Jianghan was able to adjust his breathing, close his breath, and change his breathing skills, and he was able to cope with it. After a few more times, a whole night had passed.
The sky cleared, and the monster seemed to know that it would be difficult to get rid of the two of them, so it stopped its madness and just paraded close to the water.
When he reached the shallow water, Chu Jianghan freed up his thoughts and paid attention to Shang Jiutian's actions in front of him. He saw that he lacked the iron rope to cling to, and only relied on the movement of his limbs to cling to the monster's back. Such a bumpy night was obviously more strenuous than his own. Seeing that he was intact again, I couldn't help but admire him even more.
I don’t know how far I swam with the monster, but around noon, the monster suddenly rushed into the middle of a group of small fish and opened its bloody mouth to eat the remains.
At this time, people's voices were gradually heard on the water surface. Chu Jianghan took advantage of the strange moment to take a breath and saw several large boats swimming on the water surface from a distance. The people on the boats were setting up knife and fork fishing nets to catch the fish. Fishing in a group.
Chu Jianghan was so happy that he wanted to abandon the monster and swim over, but he was afraid that he would become the monster's food in the water. When he was hesitating, the monster came out of the water to take a breath.
Suddenly, Shang Jiutian stood up, kicked the monster's back, and jumped towards the nearest boat. Chu Jianghan was overjoyed, and took advantage of the situation to jump up, and pulled out the chain embedded in the monster's back. The monster groaned in pain and dived into the deep water.
Because he pulled out the chain from the monster's back to release part of his strength, Chu Jianghan jumped and failed to board the ship. Seeing that he was about to fall into the water, he hurriedly threw half of the chain towards the water in front, stepping on the landing place. With the help of the chain, he jumped up again and jumped onto the boat.
The half of the rope fell into the vast sea, and Shang Jiutian no longer relied on the magical weapon.
Everyone on the fishing boat was stunned when they saw the two of them. An elderly man exclaimed: "These two people came by whale, they must be immortals from overseas. Everyone, please kowtow quickly and pray for the immortals' blessing." After saying this, they all abandoned the snares in their hands. , I can’t stop kowtowing and paying homage.
Only then did Chu Jianghan know: It turned out that the monster was a whale.
Shang Jiutian ignored the fishermen and only said to Chu Jianghan: "Brother Chu, how does this competition compare to last time?"
When Chu Jianghan asked him, he also added a lot of pride. When he recalled the experience, he couldn't help but feel excited. He replied: "Calling the whale rider, I drummed across the Silver Mountain. My life has been so smooth since I followed you south."
Shang Jiutian said with a smile: "There is also a poem in the Tang Dynasty: 'I will follow the crane when I am playing the heart harp, and I will sharpen the sword when it is broken.' It's a pity that I was born decades earlier than you. If not, I would really like to be righteous with you. Wed the golden orchid, carry wine and sword, and laugh proudly together."
Chu Jianghan was speechless for a moment when he heard this.
Shang Jiutian asked the old fisherman: "Where is this place?" The old man said: "To return to the old immortal's words, this is above the South China Sea, a hundred miles away from the land." Shang Jiutian asked again: "This place is far from Bliss. How far is the island?" Everyone didn't know about Paradise Island and shook their heads in silence.
Shang Jiutian said again: "Raise the sails and turn the rudder, and go south to find the Paradise Island." A man replied vigorously: "As the old immortal said, the little people are just fishermen who go to sea, not serious people. It is the New Year now, I'm afraid I won't be able to grow old with you, little people."
Shang Jiutian glared angrily and raised his palm to knock him into the water.
When Chu Jianghan saw that he was killing people for no reason, the good impression he had just now disappeared immediately. He drew out his sword and cursed: "Old thief, if you dare to hurt people randomly again, I will definitely skin you and cramp you today."
"Hahahaha...hahahaha..." Shang Jiutian became mad and laughed, waving his hand and beating the old man to death again. When the others saw this, they were so frightened that they rushed to turn the ship around.
Chu Jianghan was furious, and he swung his long sword to catch up with each other. Shang Jiutian shouted loudly and waved his palm to stop the enemy. The two of them went back and forth, fighting again.
The wind was coming from the north, and the few fishermen were experts who were accustomed to going to sea. They worked hard to maneuver the boat to survive. The fishing boat sailed southward like a sharp arrow.
Chu Jianghan struggled to save his life all night long. After fighting more than fifty moves, he felt exhausted. However, Shang Jiutian had abundant internal energy and his palm power did not decrease at all.
The Three Talents Palm is extremely exquisite and has endless changes. Chu Jianghan fought with him several times before and after. By this time, every move that Jian Shang Jiutian made was a new move that he had never seen before. There was no repetition at all. With the Seventy-two Road Danyang It takes a lot of effort to crack it with swordsmanship, and it will be very difficult to fight.
Fortunately, what Chu Jianghan held in his palm was the peerless divine Danyang Sword, which made Shang Jiutian quite fearful, so he gained some advantages in the fight. Although Chu Jianghan was gradually losing ground, he was never defeated.
The Danyang sword is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, in an orderly manner. The fast part of the sword is like a golden needle pricking cloth, and it is unstoppable. The slow part of the sword is like an iron plow cutting through mountains, and it is indestructible. Sometimes Chu Jianghan fired several moves in one breath, but Shang Jiutian used his exquisite body skills to avoid them. Sometimes, he turned his skill into clumsiness and used one move to get close to him, but was knocked away by Shang Jiutian's thousand-jin palm. The two of them used all their strength to fight to the death.
Shang Jiutian was so scheming that he seemed to have noticed the changes in Chu Jianghan. Taking advantage of Chu Jianghan's loss of strength, he calculated the position, turned around, and struck out with all his strength. Chu Jianghan swung his sword to break the move, and palmed the wind. Not all can be purified. The remaining wind from the palm passed by and was aimed at the fisherman who was turning the sail. The fisherman was hit in the chest. His bones were shattered and his liver was split. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell limply to the ground and died.
Chu Jianghan watched helplessly as the fisherman was killed by the palm, but was unable to save him. He became so angry that he roared and raised his sword to kill. Shang Jiutian raised his palms to greet him, and after a few moves, he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha... Even though you are a master of swordsmanship, you can only watch me kill people. You can't save me even if you want to. Hahahaha... Ha ha ha ha……"
Chu Jianghan gritted his teeth and yelled: "Old thief, please accept your fate!"
Shang Jiutian's clever moves came out one after another, and his palm power was extremely domineering. Under Chu Jianghan's anger, he couldn't help but feel confused. Naturally, he was a little hesitant to use his moves. Shang Jiutian saw the opportunity and struck out with a palm in the air. Chu Jianghan raised his sword to resolve it. It was too late, so he had to change his left palm to meet it. Unexpectedly, the changes of Sancai Palm were repeated. After one strong force, there were several more. Chu Jianghan was unable to cope with the changes. He was unsteady on his feet and was knocked to the ground by the palm.
Shang Jiutian was overjoyed when he saw this, and added another palm. Chu Jianghan's blood was boiling, and his breathing was not smooth. He had to grit his teeth and roll on the ground, and then he managed to avoid a few feet and barely let go.
The two moves in a row were full of dangers. Chu Jianghan was completely defeated and almost seriously injured. His whole body had already been unbearably hot. He couldn't take a breath. He could no longer use his energy and adjust his breath. If Shang Jiutian attacked again, he would be injured immediately. Got off. I secretly screamed in my heart: "We are in danger now!" When he was struggling to get up, he suddenly heard a fisherman shouting: "There is a boat!"
Shang Jiutian thought that when the fishermen saw that Chu Jianghan was defeated, they tricked him so that Chu Jianghan could take the opportunity to breathe and regulate his energy to regain his strength. He couldn't help but sneered and didn't look back. He carefully guarded against Chu Jianghan and said : "You are so talented, how dare you show off your little skills in front of me?" He swung his left palm back and killed another person.
There were only three fishermen left who were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground. The fishing boat lost its sail and steered it, and gradually slowed down.
Shang Jiutian tried his best to guard against Chu Jianghan. He felt the fishing boat slow down again. He took a few steps back and turned to look. Sure enough, he saw a large boat rushing towards this direction in the distance. Secretly shouting that something is not good: If a few more experts come to help me, and this kid is added, it will be very difficult for me to deal with it.
While Shang Jiutian was distracted and thinking of countermeasures, Chu Jianghan secretly breathed out and adjusted his breath, pressing down on his roiling blood, and he had already regained his breath. Seeing that the other party seemed to be distracted, he secretly focused his strength on the tip of the sword, suddenly raised it and stabbed Shang Jiutian in the heart.
This sword was as fast as lightning and weighed a thousand pounds. Shang Jiutian could not resolve it, so he relied on the secret technique on his feet to avoid it sideways like a ghost. While frightened, Chu Jianghan stabbed Chu Jianghan's neck with his sword again. Shang Jiutian stepped on his feet to avoid it. When he turned around, he shouted loudly and struck Chu Jianghan's chest with a palm.
Although this fishing boat is large in size, it is dwarfed by the big fortune boat built by the officials, with a width of only more than one foot.
Chu Jianghan knew that he was unable to receive this palm, so he hurriedly used Xumi Sanyin's Qinggong to avoid the sharp edge. However, the boat was too narrow and there was no room for him to dodge. He moved to the side and was still covered by the opponent's palm power. , had no choice but to turn around and catch it hard, raised the sword with his right arm and stabbed Shang Jiutian's palm, and used his left arm to use a trick from the thirty-sixth wind spirit palm, and managed to deflect the wind from Qianjin Palm.
As soon as this move passed, Chu Jianghan suddenly realized: This three-talented palm is not only infinitely changeable, but also has domineering palm power, it can also change eight or nine changes, and it can change shape and form elusively. This place is too small, and I really can't use Xumi Sanyin's power. When it comes to Qinggong, when it comes to leaping and changing, you will never be as good as the opponent. With this one, how can you be invincible?
Seeing the wind coming from Shang Jiutian's thousand-jin palm, Chu Jianghan was unable to defeat him with any magical skills for a while, so he had to mobilize his inner strength and use Danyang Sword Technique with all his strength.
The two of them were in a head-to-head confrontation, and in the blink of an eye, they passed more than forty moves, fifty moves or more. Chu Jianghan was really unable to respond well and gradually fell behind.
Suddenly I heard a loud roar, and a familiar voice shouted: "Wonderful brother, don't panic, foolish brother is here to help you!"
Shang Jiutian was concentrating on dealing with Chu Jianghan and had no time to pay attention to the approaching ship. While the two were fighting fiercely, the ship had already approached.
A voice crackled through the air, and in the flash of cold light, a fine steel sword flew toward Shang Jiutian's eyes.
Shang Jiutian hurriedly withdrew his palm and shot it down. Unexpectedly, the sword jumped up from the deck again and flew towards Shang Jiutian's chest.
When Chu Jianghan looked back, he saw his sworn brother's wooden sword sitting on the big ship. Next to him, a middle-aged Taoist stretched out his hand in front of his chest, put his two fingers together and braced his feet, and was using his energy to transport the sword.
Chu Jianghan was horrified and shouted loudly: "Fifth brother, come and help me!"
Mujian jumped onto the fishing boat, reached out and threw the three fishermen onto the boat like they were throwing straw hats.
The Taoist priest also jumped onto the fishing boat. The moment he jumped down, his true strength relaxed, but Shang Jiutian caught the long sword flying in the air.
The Taoist priest's expression changed, he sighed, and shouted: "Here comes the sword!" Someone on the big ship threw him a long sword again.
Mu Jian shouted loudly: "Young men, sail the big ship a hundred feet away to watch the battle. Don't come near without my order!" The big ship got the order and sailed a hundred feet away. Everyone on board was equipped with bows and arrows. Watch the battle from a distance.
Shang Jiutian Hengjian was in his hand, and he sighed: "I have heard that Master Quanzhen Yunyangzi has perfected the art of using Qi to move the sword, which is unprecedented. I can see it with my own eyes today, and it is truly worthy of my life! Little Taoist Master, you are Are you a disciple of Quanzhen?"
The Taoist saluted and replied: "Tan Daojing, a disciple of Master Yunyang, the master of Quanzhen, has met Master Shang!"
Mu Jian said: "Shang, your death has come." After saying this, he drew out the three-foot wooden sword from his back.
Shang Jiutian's expression changed, he took a breath of cold air, and said slowly: "There are four palms and three swords in the martial arts world. I didn't expect that today, the world and the people have all three swords." After saying this, he showed off his madness and shouted loudly. Laughter, roaring like thunder and roaring like a whale.
