Book 23 Chapter 7 – shi+fting the Blame Onto Eastern Wu

Hou Xibai shi+fted sideways to retrieve the folded fan on his back; in a confident-and-at ease, natural, bri-with-a-sense-of-beauty posture, the tip of the fan’s skeleton, rapid-beyond-co down at hi the side full of portraits of beautiful wo out a kick toward his lower abdo rapidly whirled around, both palms created hundreds of pal see Even with Hou Xibai’s ability, he could not advance prematurely, while also did not dare to withdraw backward, afraid that the opponent ht snatch the key moment, and then he would suffer ‘troops in defeat like a landslide’ [idiom], and lost his life on this no-escape, no-retreat plank ay

Hou Xibai resorted to a set of exquisite and abstruse fan technique His fan opened and closed without showing any gap, as he parried Xu Ziling’s rainstor wind collided against each other lingered on

‘Pow!’ hundreds and thousands fan shadows covered everything The ’s left hand made contact with the tip of the fan

A vortex of qi, which Hou Xibai had been expected all along, burst in via the Fan of Beauty, slow at first, but quickly beca at close range with short weapon, there was no rooered backwards at the saan to know the real ability of his opponent

Hou Xibai only staggered back five steps before he s; his handsoreen Only after several rounds of these changes did he recover his usual fair countenance

Xu Ziling nearly stepped out of the plank ay Turned out Hou Xibai’s Fan of Beauty was able to execute ‘four taels to push aside a thousand catty’ technique, simply because it was able to use so force to strike force called ‘You Shan Xie’ [lit outstanding expertise to unload/to re the opponent’s inner power And Hou Xibai’s level of er’, free, unconstrained state

Nearly every strike, a punch or finger thrust, had a ‘ to catch a loach with eht in hand, but he was unable to hold on to it steadily

It was precisely the ‘prescribing the right medicine for an illness’ best y

However, although he gained the upper hand, it actually entailed strenuous effort

Fortunately, at the lastthe sword to play the enemy’ [see Book 11 Chapter 8] of the ‘Yijian Technique’ Furthermore, he exploited the unique environth by disregarding everything inthe attack head-on, so that he avoided the final fate of defeat and perishi+ng

The skill difference had been decided

Xu Ziling struggled hard to recover froe of the ay And then, using the innate true qi fro Life’ and ‘Jade Annulus of He Clan’, he neutralizedhis body But he still needed two more steps before he could stand firm

He nearly vomited blood Luckily when his meridians were about to burst, his five viscera felt like shattering, he exerted himself to raise the true qi within his body The internal injury immediately recovered more than half in such a miraculous way It was as if the true qi in his body could faintly control the opponent’s gongfa

Hou Xibai’senergy burst in, slow at first and then turned fast, Hou Xibai’s internal power becaentle y, and diverted it to both sides, enabling him to force entrance into the true qi in the opponent’s body, so that at inal level, and thus greatly di power

Such a demonic poas indeed never seen; no wonder Hua Jian Pai was able to stand side by side with Yin Gui Pai on the demonic way

From this, it could also be inferred the extent of shi+ Zhixuan’s formidability

‘Swish!+’

Hou Xibai opened up his fan and lightly brushed it sideways With confident laugh he said, “Much obliged for the experience! Xu Xiong is certainly brilliant, but if this is the extent of your skill, Xu Xiong olden-ox way alive today”

Hearing that, Xu Ziling heaved a sigh of relief instead

If the opponent seized this opportunity to pursue and attack, he would be doomed to death for sure But now that he spoke to stall for tih his ’s, and his htly lighter than his, yet his speed of recoveryanother h and said, “No better or worse than each other! Hou Xiong, please receive another one of Xiaodi’s punches”

Right foot stepped forward, left fist sent out a punch

Obviously Hou Xibai was stunned and was greatly puzzled, and then his expression turned serious, his clothes, fro’s punch was extrey was continuously accu, so that when his fist was nearly in position, the wind generated by the punch already reached Hou Xibai’s body The , the punch power gradually coalesced until finally it beca fist, like a for thrust toward the chest

Hou Xibai started to regret his decision to intercept Xu Ziling on this plank ay If it were an e’sa butcher’s cleaver with ease [idiom: skillfully and easily] But on this unique environ qi poas like having a thousand kinds of ultimate art, yet was unable to find a solution The only way out was tohis Fan of Beauty back, he used his left palm to swiftly chop down to strike the y flared out

Xu Ziling has learned froy was focused and did not disperse, like a sharp awl breaking into the opponent’s exploding energy

‘Bang!’

Both men tumbled backward and spurted blood at the same time It was injury on top of injury

This time Hou Xibai could only neutralized twenty-percent of Xu Ziling’s qi power, hence he suffered quite a loss

If it were on a flat land, he had seventy, eighty-percent confidence to put Xu Ziling to death But on this plank ay, Xu Ziling was able to bring out the fantastic qi power he obtained froht

Both sides withdrew five steps back

Hou Xibai wiped the bloodstain on the corner of hisbitterly, he said, “Please let Zaixia retract : seeing an opportunity that was difficult to co to swap pointers, not really wanted to hurt Xu Xiong Xu Xiong is honorable and nani whether to laugh or cry, Xu Ziling said, “Hou Xiong is so straightforward, Xiaodi ad to enter Sichuan, or leave Sichuan?”

Hou Xibai laughed aloud and said, “Xu Xiong has quickforwards Xu Xiong, please do as you wish”

Xu Ziling s down anotherup in his throat, and then leisurely and confidently he walked past Hou Xibai

Actually, the severity of his injury was far heavier than Hou Xibai thought Basically he did not even have any strength left to lift up his fist; therefore, he erous place as far away as possible at once

Hou Xibai hesitated for apass He even bade him farewell earnestly, with a reluctant-to-part expression

Xu Ziling traveled forsure that Hou Xibai did not follow, he violently voround
