Chapter - 260 Heroes Embrace the Three Commandments (3)

Zhang WuJi has never learnt any sword techniques before, so he's lost at what to do. Suddenly, he remembered He TaiChong's sword techniques just a while back, and emulated him as he attacked. Mie Jue yelled, "Kun Lun's 'Mountain Cliff Breaking Cloud'!" The Heaven Sword also moved, but rather than blocking, it ignored Zhang WuJi's attack, aiming straight for the Zhang WuJi's vital points instead. This attack carried an unimaginable power which quickly bared down on Zhang WuJi. Zhang WuJi quickly got out of the way, faltering a bit and started to roll on the floor. Just as he was getting back up, he felt a powerful wind coming from behind. With a quick spring of the right foot, Zhang WuJi's body shot up vertically with great speed, getting out of the way. This was an escape no one had thought possible, just as the crowd was about to cheer, they see Mie Jue change her direction midway, and renewed her attack upwards. Before he could land, the sword light had blocked off his path downward. Zhang WuJi can't change directions in midair, unable to escape. Under the sweep of the Heaven Sword, he nearly lost both of his legs. But at the critical juncture, he was able to turn his body and the pointed the White Rainbow Sword down, its tip meeting the tip of the Heaven Sword. Only to see the White Rainbow Sword bend a bit, before Zhang WuJi utilized the bounce to shoot back up.

Mie Jue would no let up, attacking three more times at Zhang WuJi. While in midair, Zhang WuJi can only block with his sword. 'Ding' the White Rainbow Sword broke. Zhang WuJi then shot out with his palm at Mie Jue's head. Mie Jue countered by trying to cut off the oncoming palm with her sword. But Zhang WuJi saw this perfectly, and flicked the Heaven Sword on its side while he backed off, landing on the ground a few yards out. Mie Jue felt a strong vibration coming from the sword, almost causing her to drop the sword. Only to see Zhang WuJi standing there blankly, holding his broken sword. This sequence of events really was beyond belief. In a few short moments, Mie Jue had unleashed eight attacks, each deadly accurate. Yet each dissipated before Zhang WuJi, who escaped near-death after each blow. The attacks were delicate and fine; the escapes were quick and clever. The spectators' hearts almost flew out from all the action. No one had ever seen anything like it. Attacking like gods in Heaven, while evading like ghosts in Hell. Just as lightning and thunder, even when over, they can still send chills down one's spine.

During the eight blows, Zhang WuJi was basically getting killed, while Mie Jue held all the initiative. But Zhang WuJi's flick at the last moment temporarily froze Mie Jue. Had he taken the opportunity to immediately strike, he would've won the battle by now. Unfortunately, Zhang WuJi lacked the battle experience to realize this. However, Mie Jue understands the situation, so she said, "Get another weapon. Then we'll fight again." Zhang WuJi thought, "I broke my grandfather's precious sword in just a few moves. What other weapon can possibly block the Heaven Sword?" As he's pondering, Zhou Dian* said, "I have a very good saber. Go ahead and use it." Zhang WuJi said, "The Heaven Sword is way too powerful. I'm afraid of breaking your saber." Zhou Dian said, "Who cares? If you lose, we're all going to die anyway. What's the point of saving a weapon?" Zhang WuJi nodded in his mind, and went over to grab the saber. As he did this, Yang Xiao whispered, "Mr. Zhang, be aggressive. Don't let her take the initiative." Zhang WuJi froze a bit when he heard Yang Xiao call him 'Mr. Zhang'. But then realized that since Yang BuHui knows his identity, she obviously told this to her dad. Wei YiXiao also whispered, "Take advantage of your lightness kung fu. DO NOT slow down even for a moment." Zhang WuJi, happy to have received such great pointers, said, "Thank you for your advice." Had they not been injured, Wei YiXiao and Yang Xiao on par with Mie Jue in terms of kung fu. So they have no problems pointing out the best tactics against the Heaven Sword. Zhang WuJi took the saber and went back into the arena. He then said, "Master Mie Jue, I'm coming!" Immediately, Zhang WuJi utilized his lightness kung fu to get behind Mie Jue, before she can turn around, he quickly attacked twice.

Mie Jue dodged the blows, but when she tried to counter, she couldn't find Zhang WuJi. Even before he learnt Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi, Zhang WuJi's lightness kung fu was superior to Mie Jue's. Now the difference is night and day. The crowd sees him stepping left, then stepping right, quick as lightning, practically spin circles around Mie Jue. Even Wei YiXiao can't help but be in awe. Yet no matter how fast he is, Zhang WuJi still had to keep a certain distance from Mie Jue, not wanting to come in contact with the power of the Heaven Sword. Plus, he's hardly skilled at using weapons. So despite the obvious advantage, Zhang WuJi still could not win after several moves.

E Mei's disciples all realize that should this fight continue, their master would surely lose. Jing Xuan yelled, "Today we're here to root out the devil sect, not to compete in the kung fu. Let's all go up trap him, so that he can't keep playing hide-and-seek with our master." As she spoke, her sword came out. The E Mei disciples all rushed forward, circling around to surround Zhang WuJi and Mie Jue. Ding MinJun said to Zhou ZhiRuo coldly, "Sister Zhou, it's your choice whether you want to go up there or not." Zhou ZhiRuo, her face blushing, said angrily, "What's that comment for?"

At this moment, Zhang WuJi appeared in front of Ding MinJun. With a quick wave of his hand, he grabbed her sword and in a fluent motion sent it towards Mie Jue. Mie Jue quickly waved her sword to block the flying sword. But while breaking Ding MinJun's sword in two, her hand vibrated intensely due to the sheer force of Zhang WuJi's throw. Before Mie Jue could recover, more swords came at her, as Zhang WuJi kept grabbing and throwing her disciples' swords. Although only the best disciples followed Mie Jue on this trip, they still could not do anything while Zhang WuJi take their weapons.

After cutting down a few swords, Mie Jue felt extreme pain on her right arm. So she switched over to her left hand. Her swordsmanship is the same no matter which hand she uses. Only to see broken sword pieces dance in the air, as onlookers step back to avoid the shards. In just a few moments, all the E Mei disciples become empty-handed, with Zhou ZhiRuo being the lone exception.

Still thankful of her advice earlier, Zhang WuJi did not even try to approach her. But as a result, it made things worse by singling her out. Zhou ZhiRuo thought this might happen, so she was one of the first to attack. But Zhang WuJi's speed is simply way too fast for her. Besides, he purposely avoided her, preventing her from giving up her sword. Ding MinJun said in a cold voice, "Sister Zhou, he really does treat you differently." By this time, Zhang WuJi went back to concentrating on fighting Mie Jue, each sword stroke aiming directly at her vital points. Mie Jue, who while trying to dodge and block the oncoming assault, heard Ding MinJun's words clearly. She suddenly thought, "Why doesn't this kid take ZhiRuo's sword too? Could there really be something between them? I need to test this." So she immediately yelled, "ZhiRuo! Are you going against your master?" As she spoke, her sword quickly shot towards Zhou ZhiRuo's chest.

Zhou ZhiRuo didn't dare to raise her sword to block, and could only yell in shock, "Master, I…" When she said to here, Mie Jue's sword is nearly at her chest. Zhang WuJi does not know that Mie Jue was simply testing them. After having witnessed her personally kill Ji XiaoFu, Zhang WuJi could only assume the worst. So without thinking, he raced ahead of Mie Jue, picked up Zhou ZhiRuo by her waist, and flew several yards away.
