Bao Buhuan didn't say a word. With a flick of his sword, he swiftly changed his position and struck again.
This Bao Buhuan truly lived up to his reputation as the number one killer in the southeast. He struck one sword to the east, then another to the west, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, carrying a chilling atmosphere akin to the Yin Realm, coming and going quietly.
Yet, Wei Wuyan's Faceless Sword Net was surprisingly broken after just a dozen strikes from him!
Cheng Duying felt a surge of relief, as if he had awakened from a sticky nightmare. With a loud roar, he leapt into the air, the blade light of the life and death blade sparkling.
Wei Wuyan remained calm in the face of battle.
However, the gap between these three and Wei Wuyan wasn't very large. In one-on-one combat, Wei Wuyan would easily defeat anyone. But when the two joined forces, it became a bit more challenging.
Facing off directly, Cheng Duying fought valiantly; his big blade swung horizontally and vertically, fighting for his life!
Bao Buhuan moved like a phantom, drifting around. Every sword strike aimed precisely at the most vulnerable spots. The pressure he exerted on Wei Wuyan even surpassed that of Cheng Duying!
Meanwhile, Wan Rujie closed his eyes to recuperate, striving to recover his cultivation level as quickly as possible.
If Wan Rujie entered the fray and wielded his Yin-Yang Bridge, Wei Wuyan felt he would truly step onto the Yin-Yang Bridge... but right now, he was trapped.
First, he battled Wan Rujie, consuming a lot of his cultivation level. Then, he fought Cheng Duying, which drained him even more; now, this was his third battle!
In this fight, his spirit was tense, and the fatigue was far greater than in the previous two battles!
Even if he escaped now, it would undoubtedly come at a heavy price. Once he paid such a price, he would definitely not escape the assassination of the number one killer in the southeast!
Wei Wuyan maintained his composure while meticulously contemplating countermeasures in his heart.
He had to be careful; each of the three opponents was a seasoned veteran, and slipping past them was incredibly difficult.
Chu Yang observed the battlefield and said calmly, “I really don’t know how long this battle will last... Wei Wuyan has already swapped through seven sword techniques!”
The Sword Spirit replied, “In battles between masters, if they can't settle it quickly, it becomes a long-winded affair. Nothing unexpected.”
Chu Yang expressed his concern, “I just hope nothing happens on Le'er’s side.”
The Sword Spirit smiled lightly, “Don’t worry, our soul power can completely cover that area. I’ve already sent a strand of power to keep an eye on the movements there. If anything goes awry, we can rush over immediately.”
“That’s good,” Chu Yang felt relieved.
Then Chu Yang noticed a puzzling detail: “Wait a minute... As the first blood reward under heaven, Wei Wuyan has previously completed tasks to kill supreme masters, but currently, his cultivation level clearly isn’t at the supreme level.”
The Sword Spirit rolled his eyes and said, “What you just said is a bit foolish. If Wei Wuyan had really reached the supreme level, wouldn’t dealing with these three be a piece of cake? He would have ended the fight long ago without dragging it out like this.”
“But how did he complete the task of killing a supreme?” Chu Yang frowned.
“Killing a supreme doesn’t only have one straightforward method! There’s assassination, poisoning, or even taking advantage when they are seriously injured to ambush them... In short, there are many ways. Furthermore, since that supreme was under bounty, there would definitely be many who wanted that reward. Anyone who sought that reward would need to believe they could kill a supreme, or else why would they risk it?”
“Do you think everyone is brainless?”
"And when Wei Wuyan encountered him, who knows how many supreme masters he had fought?" the Sword Spirit continued. “Is it really surprising that Wei Wuyan gained an advantage?”
