Chapter 16 Beg for mercy, and I won't cut you.
Seeing that the other party was still in the mood to chat and dared to look down on him so much, Xu An immediately gave up the idea of making the other party surrender.
"Move! Leave the mother and daughter alive, kill the rest!"
Wu Sanyou laughed heartily: "Young master, just watch closely!!"
His body suddenly trembled, and a faint current of energy rushed towards him, clearly indicating the surge of his internal energy.
This also demonstrates his personal strength; he is definitely not a novice without combat experience.
With a furious shout, the thugs around him charged forward.
Most of these people were criminals recruited by Xu An to work for him, and they were all at least martial artists.
Xu Tianyi nodded to the two women, then instantly drew his sword and shot forward, unleashing a burst of sword energy with his longsword.
This move is technically called a leaping horizontal slash, and many sword techniques have this as their starting stance.
The key is to launch a quick attack and seize the initiative. Once the opponent catches your sword, you can immediately switch to other moves to counterattack.
For example, it can be transformed into a wrist flick and sword thrust, a turning and flying stab, or a side step and foot stab.
However, with the addition of sword energy, Xu Tianyi's move became a simple horizontal slash of sword energy.
A sword aura, a full two meters long, shot out and cleared a path.
Wu Sanyou wore a ferocious sneer on his face and swung down a pig-slaughtering knife.
He was originally a butcher; his knife skills weren't particularly advanced, but they were ruthless enough.
"bite!!"
With a single slash, the sword energy was shattered, and he quickly met Xu Tianyi's charge with an upward slash.
"puff!!"
The knife pierced through the air before his incredulous eyes.
He couldn't believe that the other party dared to hide.
Keep in mind that this was a handover that happened in an instant, at an extremely fast pace.
He faced many opponents, and no one would choose to risk dodging this attack.
The probability of dodging was extremely low, yet Xu Tianyi actually managed to dodge it and then slashed at his ribs. If he hadn't been wearing soft armor and had his true qi protecting him, he would have been severely weakened by the injury after that attack.
He turned around and quickly brandished his knife in defense, only to see Xu Tianyi already rushing into the crowd.
It's important to understand that rushing into a crowd is extremely risky.
In the midst of a chaotic flurry of blows, any mistake will inevitably result in injury.
If Lao Liu (Old Six) were to anticipate and launch a sneak attack from within the crowd, he would also suffer a great loss.
But what he didn't expect, his thugs certainly didn't expect either.
Thus, Xu Tianyi charged in, quickly gaining a foothold. Then, with his sword energy swirling wildly, at least five thugs around him screamed and fell to the ground.
This scene shocked both Gu Feixue and Gu Qinghan.
In such a brief moment, in three seconds, they broke through the enemy's formation, injured their leader, and killed five henchmen.
This kind of combat talent is truly terrifying.
Xu Anxin, who was behind him, also felt uneasy and hurriedly called for his guards to form a battle formation.
. . .
Amidst the crowd, Xu Tianyi felt an immense thrill. What seemed dangerous to the other party actually had a high success rate for him.
Because he could see through the opponent's sword moves at a glance, unless the opponent anticipated his dodge and could change his move to intercept him midway.
Even if the other side can intercept them, they are wearing soft armor, and at most they can kill a crowd by suffering some minor injuries.
This was very profitable, and these thugs were no match for the mountain bandit gang. The bandits of Qingniu Mountain had a certain degree of cooperation, while they did not.
The chaotic swordsmanship revealed numerous flaws.
Even if the opponent manages to stab me, with my internal energy and soft armor, it will be difficult for them to break through my defenses.
Even a casual sword strike from me was enough to overwhelm my opponent.
So he started attacking the other thugs.
Wu Sanyou behind him panicked and rushed forward to attack.
Unexpectedly, Xu Tianyi's attack on the other people was merely a feint.
He turned around and unleashed a fierce sword strike that precisely targeted Wu Sanyou behind him.
This sword strike can also be considered a counterattack, aiming to catch the opponent off guard.
However, experienced opponents or those with quick reflexes can usually react to this, but you can't swing your sword here.
You can only fight back or dodge.
Xu Tianyi's counterattack sword strike was swift and precise, with a very tricky angle, basically sealing off the opponent's space to dodge.
Wu Sanyou wasn't a genius player, so there was no way he could dodge and then catch the sword's energy after it was deflected. He could only swing his sword to block it head-on.
In his eyes, the opponent was a third-rank martial artist, while he was a ninth-rank martial artist; he shouldn't need to use his full strength to block the attack.
"clang!!!"
After a crisp clash, Wu Sanyou regretted it.
He did manage to block it, but was pushed back half a step.
My heart was filled with terror.
In a life-or-death duel between martial artists, if one is forced back half a step by the opponent, one will be in a state of temporary paralysis.
Next came the overwhelming barrage of sword strikes from the opponent.
Now he has two choices. The first is to fight head-on with knives, which is a hard game.
If you can't win, you'll get injured. Once you're injured, your disadvantages will become more and more obvious, and your weaknesses will increase until you finally can't withstand the pressure and die on the spot.
Another option is much safer: use your internal force to knock your opponent away, which is equivalent to activating a hit-and-run skill. However, this will also result in a significant loss of internal force.
Almost instantly, he saw Xu Tianyi's stabbing sword coming at him.
He was afraid of dying, so he chose to unleash his internal energy.
To his despair, Xu Tianyi's move was just a feint.
He decisively stopped to avoid being shaken off, and then, as Wu Sanyou was swaying from the shock of his internal energy, he thrust his sword into his Zhongjiao acupoint.
That is, the very center of his trunk.
Xu Tianyi preferred to stab here rather than the throat because the target was larger and less likely to be dodged, making it the safest choice.
As expected, the opponent was still unable to get rid of the after-effects of the sword strike. After this strike, Wu San felt a piercing pain in his stomach.
He thrust out with his left hand, trying to exchange blows with Xu Tianyi, but the other jumped away in time, leaving him feeling utterly hopeless.
He already knew what the other party was going to do next.
Indeed, sword energy kept slashing from a distance, and he could only take the hits head-on because of the pain, until he could no longer withstand them.
He prayed that his opponent was inexperienced and didn't know how to do this. If the opponent continued to fight with his knife, he might still have a chance.
He stared wide-eyed, suppressing the pain in his stomach, holding his breath and waiting for Xu Tianyi's next move.
A moment later, his heart sank into despair, and Xu Tianyi's sword energy arrived as expected.
After blocking the three swords, he desperately hoped that Xu An would send guards to rescue him, but all he saw was Xu An's fleeing figure.
"Pfft!~~!"
As his head flew off, all he saw before he died was Xu Tianyi chasing after Xu An, while his own gang of thugs was being hunted down by the guards of the Hidden Rain Pavilion, some dying, some fleeing... they couldn't escape at all.
Gu Feixue had the others clean up the battlefield, while the mother and daughter followed Xu Tianyi.
The admiration and respect in their eyes were completely undisguised.
Gu Feixue is a genius cultivator, but not a genius warrior.
Simply put, her swordsmanship is mediocre; she just unleashes a barrage of attacks without any regard for reason.
Gu Qinghan had little combat experience, and she felt that she couldn't toy with her opponents like Xu Tianyi.
Under normal circumstances, a young Martial Master of Rank 3 facing a middle-aged Martial Master of Rank 9 and his surrounding martial arts subordinates would be virtually hopeless.
The difference in combat experience and cultivation level is too great.
However, Xu Tianyi easily killed his opponent with his agility and combat talent, without even sustaining any injuries himself.
Furthermore, they broke through the enemy's formation and forcibly killed a large number of martial artists.
This person is definitely extraordinary. The two women exchanged a glance, both feeling a surge of excitement.
A moment later, when they arrived, they saw Xu Tianyi clearing a path with his sword energy, breaking through the obstruction of ten guards, and directly knocking Xu An away with a palm strike.
Soon, Xu An was trampled underfoot by Xu Tianyi.
"Are you really stupid? Tell me, do you want to die or live?"
Xu An looked terrified, but his expression immediately turned ferocious: "Come on! If you have the guts, kill me! My Xu family will not let a servant like you get away with this!"
Xu Tianyi stared coldly at him, pondering whether to kill him outright.
After thinking it over, he decided against killing the other party.
Because a foolish opponent is always easier to deal with than the shrewd Xu Qian, the head of the Xu family.
But since the other party is so arrogant, he's determined to teach them a lesson.
"I'll give you a chance. Beg me for mercy now, and I might consider not cutting off your little brother."
