I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 275: Chapter 242: (Revised) One Versus Two

”Big brother, come quickly, we must not fall for this deceitful villain’s trick!”

Boom!

Kong Wengong was shaken back by the giant axe of the Golden Armor Warriors, and the Sword Sky Puppet Faceless leaped up, unleashing a storm of ninety-nine fine swords like a torrential downpour.

Both the Sword Sky Puppet and the Golden Armor Warriors were at Late-Stage Foundation Establishment strength, overwhelming Kong Wengong.

Kong Wengong felt intense pressure, retreating while controlling the Iron Fan Magic Treasure to defend, simultaneously summoning a writing brush to perform Spiritual Ink Transformation Method, fighting one against two.

He had chosen this two-on-one himself, so Jiang Yuebai could only oblige him.

If the Parasite Demon Technique didn’t take so long to have the same effect as devouring Kong Wenrang, would she need to go through all this trouble?

Kong Wenliang glanced at his second brother, who was darting around; his body was surrounded by heavy ink shadows, capable of responding with Dragon Painting and Tiger Sketch.

”What I cultivate is the Gentleman Sword Dao; I despise using numbers to oppress the few, strength to bully the weak. Today, let me face you alone!”

Jiang Yuebai rolled her eyes internally, scanning the array flags not far away. Tang Weimian had told her that there were at least three key points that needed to be removed to break the array.

Guarding these three key points must be the strongest elites from the Kong Family, Fang Family, and Lu Family.

And in front of her, Kong Wenliang was the strongest among the three families, the leader of the noble family disciples this time.

Jiang Yuebai was also eager to experience the prowess of the noble family disciples.

”Alright, I respect you as a real man with Kong Family bones! A duel it is!”

At her words, Kong Wenliang raised his longsword, and a clear, flowing glow instantly spread, forming a water flow barrier around him.

”The movement of heaven is full of power; thus the gentleman makes himself strong and untiring!”

A formidable aura burst from Kong Wenliang’s sword, not to be underestimated.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai switched from sword to spear; with the Fire Thunder Spear, flames instantly surged around her, forming a majestic battle armor. Her soaring momentum clashed remotely with the water gentleman aura from Kong Wenliang.

Evenly matched, fire and water incompatible.

”Take this sword!”

Kong Wenliang shouted deeply, slashing out with hundreds of sword auras that transformed into a water dragon, roaring and crashing towards Jiang Yuebai, pulling her into the dragon’s might.

The sword aura tore through the air with a shrill whistle, akin to the Blade Flow Wind Kill’s blade hurricane.

Jiang Yuebai’s Flame Armor burst into flames, hot currents clashing fiercely with the water dragon.

Her spear thrust forward, engulfed in searing firelight, broke free from encirclement.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Spear auras and sword shadows intersected and collided violently, cancelling each other out.

As the two continued to clash, dazzling lights shot out explosively, creating deep craters in the ground.

In the distance, Kong Wengong waved ink into waves, forcing back Faceless and the Golden Armor Warriors. Looking up, he saw two figures in mid-air moving swiftly, with the clash of metal ringing like thunder.

Kong Wengong gaped in astonishment, never expecting Jiang Yuebai to hold her own against his big brother.

However, upon closer inspection, his big brother was at ease, while Jiang Yuebai seemed somewhat strained.

The giant axe of the Golden Armor Warriors came down, and Kong Wengong quickly refocused, swinging open the iron fan to block the axe.

Clang!

Kong Wenliang held his sword horizontally across his chest, blocking the thrusting spear tip of Jiang Yuebai. Fire thunder erupted, and Kong Wenliang, unable to retreat in time, had his eyebrows singed, a hint of shock crossing his eyes.

Her spear power was like a raging inferno, too formidable!

”Alas, it’s been a long time since I used a spear, I’m a bit rusty.”

Jiang Yuebai sighed, though she felt a slight unease in her heart.

Kong Wenliang’s swordsmanship contained an aura, distinct like Vast Righteous Qi, rigid and strong.

It rendered her Earth Evil Fire unable to burn the Divine Soul or affect the mind, and her fire couldn’t suppress his water.

She could still hold her own now, but if it turned into a prolonged battle or if he became more aggressive, she would surely be at a disadvantage.

This was the gap in cultivation, the strength of a Sword Cultivator, and the uniqueness of the Kong Family’s Confucian Dao Skill.

”Take another sword!”

Kong Wenliang’s expression turned serious, his fighting spirit ignited by Jiang Yuebai. His figure flickered, dividing into nine figures surrounding Jiang Yuebai, slashing down at the center simultaneously.

The crisscrossing sword auras enshrouded Jiang Yuebai’s head, leaving no space.

With a stern look, Jiang Yuebai immediately used Sky-Breaking Flash to evade, the sword auras colliding and exploding behind her.

At this moment, Kong Wenliang anticipated her reaction; a resonant dragon roar erupted from his sword, numerous strong sword auras converging above to form a massive colorless transparent sword, carrying an overwhelming aura and astonishing power,

A powerful slash!

The speed was such that Jiang Yuebai had no time to activate Sky-Breaking Flash again; she could only frantically channel her entire Fire Evil Spiritual Energy, sparking arcs of electricity from the Fire Thunder Spear, coalescing into a fearsome thunderclap.

Fire and thunder clashed fiercely; in the instant of the explosion, Jiang Yuebai raised her spear to counterattack.

Boom!

Arcs of electricity scattered through the sky, blazing light resounding, an earth-shaking boom sweeping across, even sending the Golden Armor Warriors and Kong Wengong flying from afar due to the powerful shockwave.

Two figures were blasted from the center of the explosion; Kong Wenliang staggered back several steps to stabilize himself, the water flow shielding him burned and evaporated, rising and spreading.

Jiang Yuebai tumbled on the ground for several rolls before stopping, her Black Tortoise Shield shattered, the Flame Armor disintegrated, sand flowing from several hit points on her body.

This Kong Wenliang is indeed quite formidable!

”Well done, big brother!”

The sight of Jiang Yuebai’s plight invigorated Kong Wengong, who got back up, wielded eighteen fan bones, and with a majestic presence, faced Faceless.

”I’m not even using my full strength yet, what’s there to be proud of!”

Jiang Yuebai frowned, and in her Sea of Consciousness, four Leaf Hands moved simultaneously, triggering Yellow Sand Sinking Land and Blade Flow Wind Kill together.

A dense and powerful shock force erupted from beneath Kong Wengong’s feet, and within a ten-zhang radius around him, the ground turned into quicksand.

Kong Wengong leapt up, creating a boat with ink, but the quicksand formed a giant hand that grasped him and the boat firmly, while the Golden Armor Warriors and Faceless attacked from front and behind.

”Second brother!”

Kong Wenliang tried to assist, but a Blade Hurricane swept up instantly, shredding the water flow Qi Shield into pieces, and a sharp aura suddenly slit his neck.

Kong Wenliang’s pupils shook as he swirled up the water flow with his long sword, resisting the blades pressing acutely inward.

At the same time, as Kong Wenliang circulated his Sword Qi, he felt a fire on his back, like an incurable parasite that he couldn’t shake off.

Jiang Yuebai stood up angrily, ”I was just playing a few rounds with you, do you really think I’m easy to bully?”

With a spear leaning on the ground, the Flame Armor reappeared.

Amid the blazing flames, the Vajra Furnace Skill directly exploded three furnaces, like oil pouring into fire, the flames on Jiang Yuebai’s body instantly burned the sky, her momentum approaching Peak Foundation Establishment.

Tripling her power, Jiang Yuebai’s black hair danced in the flames, her gaze sharp and murderous.

Her eyes locked onto the Fire Seal on Kong Wenliang’s back—a mark she had imprinted despite being injured just now.

This was the Rune corresponding to the Third Layer of the Flaming Sky Secret Manual, capable of simmering one’s life force and slowly consuming all Spiritual Energy.

But if used with the Fourth Layer’s ’Bone Attachment’, any Fire Element move would cling like a persistent parasite, hard to dodge.

Burning Hundred Spears!

With explosive thunder on the Fire Thunder Spear, Jiang Yuebai instantly unleashed a hundred spear shadows, like mighty waves of the Yellow River, roaring with fury.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The clash of spears and swords sent violent winds and thunder cracking, relentless aftershocks swept through, shattering clouds and splitting the sky.

Kong Wenliang defended with all his might, shocked at Jiang Yuebai’s sudden surge in power and at the unescapable spear shadows.

In the breathless clash of spear and sword, Kong Wenliang suddenly felt invisible threads wrapping his wrist and forcefully pulling, causing the Sword Aura to deviate and his rhythm to disrupt.

The Puppet Master’s Silk Control Technique—she was the black-robed masked woman who single-handedly challenged the Lu Family during the initial selection!

The sudden realization sent a cold sweat down Kong Wenliang’s back, and even amidst such intense battle, Jiang Yuebai could still split her focus to use a secret technique, indicating she could Dual-Task!

Can’t afford a prolonged fight, a single strike must end it!

Otherwise, her unpredictable and elusive methods would disturb his mind, leaving him at a disadvantage.

Resolutely, Kong Wenliang retreated, gaining distance, forced a drop of Brow-Center Blood into his sword, and a dominating aura swept out of his sword.

Massive Spiritual Energy rapidly converged onto his sword, the Sword Qi soaring, forming an enormous sword shadow over thirty zhang long, intimidating beyond measure.

Go!

The giant sword attacked, Jiang Yuebai withdrew her spear and retreated, a cunning smile flashing in her eyes as her plan succeeded.

Waiting for you to unleash your ultimate move!

Condensing Light Mirror, Receive!

The Ancient Mirror suspended in mid-air, the giant sword vanished without a trace, not even a ripple.

Kong Wenliang’s momentum waned, his face pale, and he looked at the Ancient Mirror before Jiang Yuebai with terror and shock.

Jiang Yuebai curled her lips into a mischievous smile and painted a talisman with her fingers.

She could match Kong Wenliang, yet without using those two trump cards, she couldn’t break the stalemate and achieve a crushing victory.

What could defeat him was the ultimate move he himself executed, far surpassing his strength.

”Returning it to you!”

A flash from the mirror, and the giant sword, formed from consolidating all his power with Brow-Center Blood, reappeared with grandeur.

But the sword tip was now pointed at himself!

Kong Wenliang’s heart sank—this time, the Kong Family was likely to lose face badly...

Boom!

The raging wind howled, strange wails shook the heavens, streaming light scattered, and dust flew up.

Kong Wengong climbed out of the quicksand, his body covered in wounds from Sword Qi, the Iron Fan and Golden Armor Warriors perished together, and the writing brush was cut by Faceless.

He craned his neck, watching the gradually dispersing dust, hoping the figure emerging would be his big brother.

”Oh, is Eunuch Wenn still around?”

Kong Wengong’s heart skipped a beat, stiffly turning his head, to find Jiang Yuebai standing beside him, hands on her hips, smiling at him.

That smile was terrifying!

”Whack-a-mole on the dog’s head!”
