Chapter 750: Chapter 750
Listening to Cui Yulong's words, Wang Tian'an's head instantly thundered, and he was utterly bewildered. It was really The Tenth Move, he really had lost, but he lost with great reluctance.
Although Wang Tian'an's power wasn't equal to Cui Yulong's, it was indeed not far behind. Even though Cui Yulong could defeat him, it should have required considerable effort—it was absolutely impossible to achieve a victory within ten moves.
This time, Cui Yulong had made such a statement in order to disrupt Wang Tian'an's state of mind and make him hyperfocused. Especially during The Ninth Move, Wang Tian'an was convinced that Cui Yulong would use his ultimate technique in The Tenth Move, so he was particularly wary of Cui Yulong, but unexpectedly, Cui Yulong's real tactic was not the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade in his hand, but the wooden box that Wang Tian'an had blocked.
In fact, everything was within Cui Yulong's calculations. The tap he made at the bottom of the wooden box had been precisely aimed in terms of position and strength. After the box hit the tree trunk, it was bound to bounce back. While the wooden box collided with the tree trunk, Cui Yulong shouted loudly, covering up the sound of the impact. Focused intently on Cui Yulong, Wang Tian'an was completely unprepared for such a move from behind and indeed, at The Tenth Move, he lost to Cui Yulong.
When he was struck by the wooden box, Wang Tian'an had already realized Cui Yulong's scheme. However, by then it was too late, he had indeed been defeated, and within ten moves at that, which he found completely unacceptable.
The people from Jiangsha Gate burst into cheers, many had seen through Cui Yulong's strategy, and they were all amazed by his meticulous plan. If they were in his shoes, they absolutely wouldn't have been able to avoid it, since when Cui Yulong said "ten moves," everyone would be intensely focused on him. Who would consider that there was another move prepared behind him?
Wang Tian'an's subordinates, however, were utterly sullen, all staring at Wang Tian'an, none of them made a move for a while.
After a moment of silence, Wang Tian'an suddenly looked up at Cui Yulong, shouting angrily, "Using such despicable tactics, Cui Yulong, that's all you amount to!"
Cui Yulong simply shrugged, replied, "Wang Tian'an, I said I would defeat you within ten moves. Did I specify how I would defeat you? Besides, all's fair in war, can't you accept a loss?"
"Bullshit!" Wang Tian'an raged, "A fair fight, and I'd accept defeat. But you fucking used such despicable means to ambush me, no way I'll accept that. Damn, all you people from Jiangsha Gate are just a bunch of despicable scoundrels. Today, I'm definitely not letting you get away!"
With that, Wang Tian'an swung his arm and roared, "Get them, kill them all!"
"Wang Tian'an, you shameless villain!" Ghost King Li Ruoyuan immediately cursed in anger, "You've already lost, and still you have the face to fight us? If I were you, I'd have long drowned myself in a toilet. Couldn't even stand ten moves, and you still have the face to live?"
Wang Tian'an ignored Ghost King Li Ruoyuan's sarcastic insults, angrily gripping the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword and running toward Cui Yulong. This time, he was prepared to completely annihilate the people of Jiangsha Gate, the memory of his recent defeat by Cui Yulong making him feel humiliated.
Cui Yulong furrowed his brows. He hadn't expected that after Wang Tian'an lost, he would still have the face to continue fighting. This turn of events was beyond his expectations. Seeing Wang Tian'an's subordinates charging and surrounding the people of Jiangsha Gate again, Cui Yulong, angered, demanded, "Wang Tian'an, I do not want to commit more bloodshed. But don't force my hand. Leave now with your men, or else, when I take action..."
"Cut the crap!" Wang Tian'an interrupted Cui Yulong, bellowing, "If you have the guts, fight me fairly, stop playing tricks. Damn it, kill every last one of them from Jiangsha Gate!"
There, the attackers of Jiangsha Gate were even more ferocious, clearly intent on killing everyone from Jiangsha Gate on the spot. The Jiangsha Gate people were hurt and now only Cui Yu and Black Asura were barely holding up, but even they weren't lasting much longer.
Seeing the situation, a cold light flashed in Cui Yulong's eyes. He forcefully swung his blade to push Wang Tian'an back a few steps, turned around, and ran toward the people of Jiangsha Gate, shouting fiercely, "Everyone stand back, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
No one left; instead, two men turned around and blocked Cui Yulong's path. Clearly, they were relying on their numbers to take down Cui Yulong.
"Block my path and die!" Cui Yulong gripped the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade tightly and roared loudly. Seeing that the two men had no intention of retreating, Cui Yulong clenched his teeth and slashed down with his blade.
These two hurriedly lifted their weapons to block, but how could their weapons compare to the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade? With just one strike, the weapons in their hands were completely chopped in half, and both men's arms were severed, causing them to fall to the ground screaming and rolling in pain.
Behind them, Wang Tian'an hurriedly followed but it was already too late. Seeing the condition of his subordinates, Wang Tian'an's eyes reddened, and he quickly chased after Cui Yulong, roaring, "Cui Yulong, if you dare, don't run, fight me!"
Cui Yulong paid him no mind, swinging the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade and continued his carnage. He chopped down three more of Wang Tian'an's men, and seeing his ferocity, the remaining people dared not block him anymore, they retreated and opened a path, giving the Sha Men a chance to catch their breath.
After driving back Wang Tian'an's subordinates, Cui Yulong took the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade and stood guard before the Sha Men. Wang Tian'an immediately followed and clashed with Cui Yulong. This time, Cui Yulong held nothing back and clashed with all his might against Wang Tian'an. The Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade and the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword, both famed instruments, collided continuously, emitting a series of light hums, creating quite a magnificent scene.
Both men were swift and strong in their attacks, which drew the attention of the crowd around them. Wang Tian'an's men did not dare get close to the Sha Men anymore, fearing injury by Cui Yulong, and just watched the battle from a distance.
After fighting for a while, the strengths of Wang Tian'an and Cui Yulong were closely matched, so the battle was at a stalemate. However, after around ten minutes, the situation gradually changed. Cui Yulong fought more and more vigorously, while Wang Tian'an seemed somewhat hesitant and restricted. Clearly, Cui Yulong's skills were indeed superior, gradually overpowering Wang Tian'an.
The Sha Men, seeing this turn of events, couldn't help but cheer repeatedly. During this moment, the Sha Men genuinely respected Cui Yulong, for he was revealing his true capabilities. In previous battles, Cui Yulong had still held back, but this time, he showed no restraint.
With Wang Tian'an becoming suppressed, anger and astonishment arose in his heart. He knew Cui Yulong was strong, but in previous encounters, he had been bested by Cui Yulong's strategies, and he had never truly accepted it. This time, he really saw Cui Yulong's strength, acknowledging that he was no match. If this continued, he would suffer more losses, which would truly be humiliating. After all, Cui Yulong wasn't using any schemes against him this time, and if he were defeated again, it would only prove his inferiority.
Seeing the battle turning increasingly unfavorable, Wang Tian'an grew extremely anxious. After exchanging a few more moves with Cui Yulong, he suddenly stepped back, grasped the hilt of the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword with both hands, roared loudly, and suddenly spun on the spot like a top.
The Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword, being a soft sword, spun around in his hands, forming a circle like a long whip around his body. He then leaped from the ground, crashing towards Cui Yulong with the sword circle. This surrounding sword circle would undoubtedly wound anyone it hit.
Cui Yulong had never seen such a strange technique and didn't immediately know how to defend against it, managing only to dodge to the side. At the moment Wang Tian'an landed, he leaped again, crashing towards Cui Yulong for a second time, forcing Cui Yulong to dodge once more.
As this continued several times, the Sha Men grew increasingly anxious. Wang Tian'an's move was too peculiar; no one had seen it before, and it seemed flawless in both attack and defense, especially combined with the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword. It seemed unbreakable. Could Cui Yulong really be defeated by this move?
Seeing Cui Yulong dodging several times without being able to counter Wang Tian'an, Wang Tian'an's subordinates grew excited. Wang Tian'an himself was also thrilled; this move was his secret weapon against formidable opponents, and using it against Cui Yulong this time was truly effective.
"Cui Yulong, let's see how long you can dodge!" Wang Tian'an laughed loudly, the sword circle relentless, still chasing after Cui Yulong, he shouted loudly, "Give up!"
Cui Yulong frowned slightly, dodged twice, then suddenly retreated several steps until he reached a meter-high large rock behind him. Wang Tian'an also followed, and seeing that he was about to crash into him, Cui Yulong abruptly leaped onto the large rock.
Wang Tian'an's movement was agile, not crashing into Cui Yulong, nor did he hit the large rock. Seeing Cui Yulong leap onto it, he tried to rush up as well. However, at that moment, Cui Yulong suddenly let out a loud shout, jumped about a meter high from the rock, and landed right above Wang Tian'an's head.
Though Wang Tian'an's Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword protected his entire body, it left his head uncovered. Cui Yulong, positioned high above, chopped down, and Wang Tian'an, unable to dodge in time, was so startled that he quickly pulled back his Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword with his hands to block the strike. However, this move directly broke his earlier technique!
