Chapter 689 Murong Longcheng, Xianbei Shaman Tuoba Feng
Chapter 689 Murong Longcheng, Xianbei Shaman Tuoba Feng
Just as the two were about to use their life-burning skills, another sword light flashed across the battlefield, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, heading straight for Wanyan Cangyue in the center of the battlefield.
The sword light came with great force and sharpness, clearly unleashed by a swordsman of profound skill.
"Who dares to interfere in the affairs of my Jurchen shamanism?"
Wanyan Cangyue snorted coldly, and with a wave of her "Spirit Slayer" sword, the blade light shone like a dragon as she met the sword light.
The two forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar, as if the entire battlefield had been torn apart by this force.
"My apologies, esteemed masters, Murong Longcheng is late!"
With this clear shout, a figure swept across the battlefield like a gentle breeze; it was none other than Murong Longcheng, the strongest among the Murong Xianbei.
He was tall and straight, with an extraordinary heroic spirit between his brows. When he traveled south to the Central Plains during the reign of Emperor Yong, he used his skills to compete with many heroes of the Yong martial arts world before he came of age. Later, he created the unique skill "Shifting Stars". He relied on the shameless technique of "using the opponent's own methods against them" to dominate the martial arts world. Among the young generation of Emperor Yong, he had few rivals. Most of the young people of the same level could not do anything to him. Few people could forcefully break through "Shifting Stars".
Therefore, during that period, the "using their own methods against them" technique of shifting stars and changing positions became famous throughout the Dayong Dynasty.
No matter what kind of kung fu the opponent uses, you can redirect the force and counterattack back at them. This is the secret of kung fu: to shift the opponent's fists, feet, and weapons, causing them to trap themselves. The essence of this technique lies in the word "rebound".
Although he was later brutally beaten by the various schools of thought within the territory of the Dayong Dynasty and slunk back to the grasslands, this could not conceal his extraordinary talent.
Alongside Murong Longcheng came a shaman of the late-stage Celestial Realm of the Xianbei Shamanism, named "Tuoba Feng," who was burly and exuded a wild power.
Tuoba Feng practiced the secret arts of Xianbei shamanism from a young age and was skilled at manipulating natural elements, especially the power of wind and thunder. Whenever he used his powers, the wind would rise and the clouds would surge, and the thunder would roar, as if a god had descended to earth, making his enemies tremble with fear.
Its martial arts combine the mystery and unpredictability of shamanism with the bravery and fortitude of the Xianbei people, making it truly unique.
"Haha, Brother Murong, if we join forces, we'll definitely show these Jurchen shamans what we're made of!"
Tuoba Fenglei laughed heartily, waved his hands, and a strong wind suddenly arose, accompanied by thunder, adding a touch of grimness to the tense battlefield.
Murong Longcheng smiled slightly and looked at Wanyan Cangyue, who was fighting fiercely with the Arhat Monk and the Prajna Samsara Venerable.
"Time flies!"
He let out a low shout, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only afterimages, as if space itself was distorted by his movement technique.
The next moment, he appeared behind Wanyan Cangyue, his long sword flashing like lightning, aiming straight for her heart.
Wanyan Cangyue snorted coldly, having already sensed something. The "Spirit Slayer" in her hand suddenly spun around, its blade light like a dragon, colliding with Murong Longcheng's sword light. The sound of metal clashing was deafening.
The two forces clashed and tore at each other, instantly causing sand and stones to fly across the battlefield, and the sky and earth to change color.
However, even with the addition of Murong Longcheng and Tuoba Fenglei, the battle against Wanyan Cangyue, who was at the peak of the Celestial Realm and wielded the divine sword "Spirit Slayer," could not be reversed immediately.
Although Murong Longcheng had mastered the "Shifting Stars" technique, a skill that deflects force and allows him to cleverly redirect his opponent's attacks in battle, Wanyan Cangyue's swordsmanship was simply too fierce. Each strike seemed capable of cleaving through heaven and earth, putting Murong Longcheng under immense pressure.
"Hmph, Murong Longcheng? The pride of the Murong Xianbei? You, a mere mid-stage Celestial Realm cultivator, dare to wade into these troubled waters!"
Wanyan Cangyue snorted coldly and swung the "Spirit Slayer" sword in her hand again. The sword light was like a dragon and headed straight for Murong Longcheng.
Murong Longcheng swayed, his longsword humming softly. Using the "Shifting Stars" technique, he skillfully shifted the blade's light aside. Even so, he could still feel the chilling blade intent rushing towards him, and he secretly marveled at Wanyan Cangyue's strength.
"Haha, Great Shaman Wanyan, now that I, Murong Longcheng, am here, I will not back down easily. Today, let us experience your superior skills!"
Murong Longcheng laughed loudly, flicked his longsword, and unleashed a dazzling display of sword light as he engaged in a fierce battle with Wanyan Cangyue.
"Hmph, 'Shifting Stars' is indeed extraordinary, but for today, let's all stay here!"
Wanyan Cangyue's face was cold and stern, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. He swung "Spirit Slayer" once more, the blade light like a rainbow, slicing through the sky and heading straight for Murong Longcheng.
Murong Longcheng moved with agility, weaving through the flashing blades like a fish. Every dodge was perfectly timed, as if he could foresee the future, bringing the power of "Shifting Stars" to its fullest potential.
However, he also knew that his cultivation was still inferior to Wanyan Cangyue's, and if this continued, he would surely be defeated.
"Brother Tuoba, help me!"
Murong Longcheng shouted and moved again, skillfully guiding Wanyan Cangyue's attack towards Tuoba Fenglei.
Tuoba Fenglei, who had been preparing for battle, roared upon seeing this, "Wind and thunder roar together!"
He clasped his hands together, and instantly a fierce wind howled, lightning flashed, and a huge storm swept towards Wanyan Cangyue.
Wanyan Cangyue's expression changed slightly. Although he was highly skilled, he had to be cautious in the face of the combined forces of Murong Longcheng, who was at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, and Tuoba Fenglei, who was at the late-stage of the Celestial Realm. He could no longer withstand the attack head-on.
He turned his body, his blade flashing like a net, blocking the wind and thunder's attack without any gaps, while at the same time looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Just then, the Arhat monk and the Venerable Prajna Samsara, who had been entangled by the priest Buku and the Hezhe shaman, also found an opportunity. The two looked at each other, understood each other, and exerted their power at the same time.
The Arhat monk unleashed the "Bodhi Self-Sacrifice Technique," his body radiating immense Buddhist light, as if he had transformed into a Buddha. He charged recklessly toward Priest Buku, attempting to sacrifice himself for a chance to kill him in one strike.
The Venerable Prajna Samsara flashed and appeared behind the Hezhe Shaman. With a slight movement of his hands, the intent of Samsara surged, attempting to pull the Hezhe Shaman into the abyss of Samsara.
On the battlefield, a four-on-two situation instantly formed, but the two Jurchen shamans were also extraordinary in their cultivation, especially Wanyan Cangyue, who was at the peak of the Celestial Realm, wielding a divine sword with unparalleled power.
Although Murong Longcheng and Tuoba Fenglei joined forces, they still felt immense pressure.
"Brother Murong, this can't go on; we must find a way to break the deadlock!"
Tuoba Fenglei gasped for breath, saying that although the wind and thunder power he possessed was mighty and unparalleled in attack, it also consumed a great deal of energy, and he feared he would not be able to sustain it for long.
Murong Longcheng frowned, his eyes flashing. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he remembered another profound meaning of "Shifting Stars"—using the opponent's strength against them.
He glanced at the priest Buku who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Arhat monk, and made a plan in his mind.
