Chapter 42: Your Wings Are Good
On the top of Qifeng Mountain, dozens of winged Flying Bird Sect disciples were suspended in the void, quietly watching the life-and-death struggle on the flying ship not far away.
From time to time, one or two disciples withdrew from the crowd watching the battle and flew into the distance, away from this Qifeng Mountain, where there were no ruins, no matter whether the head of the White Bird Sect could win the normal battle or not, they didn't want to stay in this Flying Bird Gate that had been disappointing them.
Outside the crowd, although Manzhu Sawa did not have wings flapping behind her, she also stood above the void out of thin air, her gaze fell on those Asuka Sect disciples who were constantly moving away, and her tone was full of schadenfreude.
"Oh, it looks like even if the white bird wins today, this flying bird gate will become history completely, hehe, I don't know if the black bird will be happy or angry after he knows?"
After sighing with emotion, Manju Sawa looked through the pale blue airship shield and stared at the extremely conspicuous black and white wings inside.
When she found that with her own reaction, she was a little unable to keep up with the speed of Shiratori's flight, Manju Sahua's face gradually calmed, but it only lasted for a few breaths, and she suddenly smiled again.
"This white bird is really hidden, it has been dormant for so many years, so deep temperament."
"It's a pity, when I meet such an unreasonable person, my years of planning have come to naught~"
Manzhu Sawa said it was a pity, but the smile in the corner of her eyes was not concealed at all, although the white bird at this time was amazing, but the chaotic aura in her body that was constantly fluctuating could not hide from her eyes.
As a martial artist who had also practiced martial arts to a certain level, Manju Sawa quickly recognized Shiratori's current state.
Forcibly mobilize the true qi when the internal strength is about to enter the peak, after this battle, even if the white bird wins in the end, it will also end up with five labors and seven injuries, and even the end of the meridians are broken, and it is destined to be greatly reduced.
Seeing that Shiratori is only one step away from entering the peak of internal strength, combined with the strange performance of the previous decline of the Asuka Gate, Manzhu Sawa just sorted out the situation in his mind, and roughly guessed Shiratori's plan for many years, but the more she guessed the inside story, the more intense the schadenfreude in her eyes.
Thinking of the blackbird's unwillingness and resentment over the years, Manzhu Sahua pursed her red lips lightly, setting off a playful smile.
"The blackbird doesn't seem to know anything about his senior brother's plans, I'm really curious what he will do when he knows everything, hehe~"
…………
Just when Manzhu Sawa in the outside world was leisurely watching the play, the battle inside the protective shield had gradually become white-hot.
"Boom!"
There was an explosion on the flying ship, and Zhang Er's Fang Tian Painting Halberd waved away the air waves, and swept towards the air suspended by the white bird, but before the halberd arrived, the wings behind the white bird were just lightly fanned, and the whole person had already risen into the sky.
The crescent moon at the end of the halberd slashed a few inches from the sole of the shoe, and it could only explode a cloud of white gas in the void in vain, which was the air flow that was detonated when the powerful force penetrated the halberd.
And at the moment when the roar sounded under his feet, the figure of the white bird that had already flown into the air flashed, and it turned into a white line and swooped towards Xu Yue.
The sense of crisis came from above, and there was a slight tingling sensation in his neck, Xu Yue suddenly pulled back the long halberd that he swung forward, and when his wrist turned, Fang Tian's halberd swept horizontally, and a black ring was drawn around the height of Xu Yue's upper body, and the strong wind was howling at the edge.
The halberd traversed in all directions, closing off the four fields, but still did not draw anything, and the white line that swooped down made a graceful arc before passing under the blooming black ring.
Pain came from Xu Yue's waist, the long sword tore through his clothes, and the cold blade glowing with white light rubbed a cluster of golden sparks on his left waist, and between the frictions, the silver metal film was cut, and then the flesh and blood that also revealed a trace of silver light were also pulled apart little by little.
When the long sword was about to continue deeper, a Fang Tian painting halberd smashed down on his head with a boiling golden flame, before the long halberd arrived, the terrifying temperature had already spread first, and the white bird's hair became slightly curled in the high temperature, he pulled out the long sword that fell into Xu Yue's flesh and blood, and the wings on his back shook.
The brilliant wings passed through Xu Yue's belly like an illusion, and then disappeared, and the halberd on the left side smashed down to the deck of the Chasing Sun, sawdust flying and flames rising.
And the target that should have been hit by the halberd had already quietly appeared behind Xu Yue, the white bird was suspended in mid-air, looking down at the back of the silver head below, and the long sword in his hand turned into a white crescent moon splitting down.
There was a strong sense of crisis in the back of his head, Xu Yue didn't choose to dodge, there was a high probability that he couldn't dodge this distance, his eyes flashed fiercely, his body did not move, but the silver hair on his head exploded root by root, turning into silver spikes and piercing towards the falling crescent moon and the figure behind the crescent moon.
At the same time, the wrist holding the tail end of the halberd quickly exerted force, lifted up obliquely, and with the blessing of great strength, the end of the halberd that fell into the left deck was lifted proudly.
The crescents on both sides of the halberd shattered the deck, drawing an upward arc in the whistling sound, from the lower left deck to the shoulder on Xu Yue's right side, and towards the white bird's head behind.
A scream sounded on his side, the white bird frowned slightly, and the silver spikes that bloomed in front of him had been cut off one by one by the white crescent, but the speed of the crescent moon was also relatively slow, and the long halberd burning with raging flames on the right side was about to swing at this moment.
He knew that Xu Yue wanted to exchange injuries with him, if this crescent moon could smash the opponent's head, this injury would be worth it, but the opponent's defense was too strong, and the skin membrane was metal, and even the flesh and blood inside had a tendency to be metalized, and he was not sure that one blow would be fatal.
In the midst of his thoughts, Shiratori's wrist turned, and the white crescent moon suddenly changed direction, slicing horizontally to the right, and the metalized hair spikes were cut straight off, and the white crescent moon broke away from the blade and struck at the middle of the halberd shaft that was lifted upward, making a muffled sound.
The crescent moon and Fang Tian's halberd collided in pairs, and after less than a second of stalemate, the crescent moon was smashed by the halberd, but the halberd inevitably stagnated for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, the white bird had risen into the sky and detached from its previous position.
There was a sound of the air being pumped from behind, and the halberd returned again in vain, but Xu Yue did not feel lost, in the several encounters in which the rabbit rose and fell, he failed to hit the white bird once.
The opponent's speed was too fast, so fast that even Xu Yue's line of sight couldn't catch it, and in the course of the battle, he was completely relying on the beast's intuitive sense of danger to fight back, but even so, there were several more narrow wounds on his waist, thighs, arms, and even the edge of his neck.
The white bird's long sword blessed by internal force was already sharp enough to cut through Xu Yue's skin membrane defenses, if it weren't for the fact that his metallization had gradually begun to penetrate into the flesh and blood stage, I am afraid that he would have been bleeding all over the ground by now.
And what made Xu Yue most uncomfortable was the flying ability that the white bird possessed, which made its attack and dodge routes extremely treacherous and changeable, and the enemies Xu Yue had encountered before were all fighting on the ground, and the attack direction and dodge trajectory involved were nothing more than the directions that could be seen in all directions.
But Shiratori is different, his fighting style is three-dimensional and multi-faceted, presenting a 360° field-style coverage attack without dead angles, up and down in all directions, vertical and horizontal, left and right, as long as he wants, he can move at any angle at will, the complexity and variability of the battle is many times more complex than all the enemies he has encountered in the past.
But the more this is the case, the more fierce the battle intent in Xu Yue's eyes burns, this is the charm of the endless world, isn't it, all kinds of enemies.
On the deck, Xu Yue withdrew the Fang Tian painting halberd on his top, and the silver spikes like hedgehogs on the back of his head quickly softened and retracted, turning back into a neat short hair, he turned around, looked up at the white bird with fluttering wings hanging in mid-air, and his eyes fell on the brilliant wings that spread out behind him.
"Yours have good wings."
