Chapter 1979 11978 1 Entering the prison is like entering a deep sea
Chapter 1979 1.1978 Once you enter prison, it's like entering a deep sea.
"The general principle of the Five Poisons Sword Technique: The five poisons erode the heavens, the five elements rotate; the sword carries deadly poison, every move is fatal." The busybody who had also contributed to the Five Poisons Divine Sword said eloquently: "The five swords and five techniques are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and are cunning, dangerous, continuous, fierce, and absolute. Only those with a ruthless nature and the inner power of the five poisons can practice them, otherwise 'they will not harm the enemy, but will instead devour themselves.'"
"Could it be that it is truly the poison of malevolent energy?" someone exclaimed in surprise.
As mentioned before, many people daily seek refuge in the painted murals to escape great calamities. Even the old monk with the bald brush cannot know how many demons have been transported into the Purple Coral Tree across time and space. The cave of the python spirit slain by Dugu Nine Swords will soon be occupied by monsters again. This is because the malevolent energy is abundant, and evil breeds. In the painted mural realm, humans and demons, though different in path, converge. The line between human and demon has long been blurred. Good and evil are separated by a single thought. Martial arts masters can resist the malevolent energy with their own power. Unfortunately, it cannot be completely eradicated; little by little, it accumulates and eventually becomes a disaster. It is common knowledge that only magical treasures can prevent the infection of malevolent energy.
There is another way to ward off evil spirits.
Indeed, it was a case of fighting poison with poison. The Five Poisons Sect was well-versed in the art of cultivating, using, and neutralizing poison. Thus, they risked everything to transform malevolent poison into their own, temporarily averting disaster. However, this was far from a long-term solution. Of course, with diligent practice and daily improvement, one could form an inner elixir and leap into the ranks of immortal cultivators. At that time, a natal magic weapon would be readily available. Therefore, the courtesan's martial arts training was also for self-preservation. She hoped to one day forge a natal magic weapon to resist the corrosive influence of malevolent energy. Furthermore, with all sorts of martial arts masters gathered in this place, she quickly reached an agreement with various brothels. With a generous reward, she imparted all her knowledge, resulting in the Five Poisons Divine Sword and the Five Poisons Sword Technique.
"May I ask, brother, what about the 'Armor-Piercing Sword Technique'?" someone else pressed.
"When the power is concentrated, its sharpness can cut through metal; when the force is strong and fierce, its momentum can shatter mountains." A busybody blurted out, "That is the essence of this sword technique."
"Indeed, unparalleled in its ferocity." Upon learning the secret behind it, everyone was satisfied.
Some people still persisted in asking: "May I ask, sir, do you know of a person named Hong Erniang?"
"The Scorpion Hall Master was originally the second wife of the former Hong Sect Leader. Her surname is unknown, but because she was the second wife of the Hong family, she was called 'Second Hong.' She was described as 'beautiful as a peach blossom, but with a heart as venomous as a snake.' She was utterly loyal to the Five Poisons Sect, and rumors circulated that she had an affair with another hall master. However, these are all just hearsay and speculation. To find out the truth, we'll see what happens today with the Five Poisons Sect." The busybody laughed it off: "Once you enter the prison, it's like entering a deep sea; from then on, you're cut off from the mortal world by those high walls. As it is today, let's not dwell on the past."
"Alas..." Fellow sufferers in misfortune, their shared plight evoked a deep sense of sympathy, prompting sighs and lamentations. It's said that martial arts masters often use nicknames, while outlaws use honorifics. For example, the "Grandma Ma" of Juanyun Mountain, whose real name is Lan Qiyun, is respectfully addressed as Grandma Ma by martial arts practitioners. In her early years, she had a relationship with Zhu Wu Taiye, the leader of Juanyun Mountain. Later, she drugged her former lover with sleeping pills and impersonated Zhu Wu Taiye, ruling Juanyun Mountain for ten years. Zhu Wu Taiye, having narrowly escaped death, cleverly used his only daughter, Zhu Lanlan (Wang Ping), to feign a terminal illness and hire chivalrous heroes to escort her back to Juanyun Mountain, thus revealing Grandma Ma's true identity. Of course, as some jokingly remarked, "Once you enter the prison, it's like entering a deep sea; from then on, the high walls cut off all worldly affairs." Her subsequent storyline took a turn. Not only did she reconcile with Zhu Lanlan, who went by the alias "Lanlan," and the renowned "Pearl Twin Swords" (Wang Jun and Wang Yun), sisters known for their beauty and swift swordsmanship, but she also escaped into the painted mural with Liu Jinlian (Fang Fang), the famous female leader of Juanyun Mountain, and became the most beautiful courtesan there.
As the saying goes, in the martial arts world, everyone has their own extraordinary encounters.
After the third drumbeat, both sides launched their attacks.
Following the same method, Abbess Jingyin, the head of the Emei Sect, channeled her energy into the first level of the Sacred Fire Scripture: Yin and Yang Initial Separation - Gathering Yuan and Refining Pearls, and unleashed the Yin and Yang Dual Commands.
Hong Erniang, the leader of the Scorpion Hall, neither dodged nor evaded. She channeled her energy into her dantian, directing it straight to her Yongquan point, and leaped forward, raising her hand to thrust. This was the first move of the "Armor-Piercing Sword Technique," "Golden Scorpion Probing the Acupoint." The initial thrust was a feint, testing the enemy's strength; the sword tip trembled slightly as it targeted the enemy's vital point.
The Xuanbing Chains circled around Abbess Jingyin, the head of the Emei Sect, blocking the hook blade probe of Hong Erniang, the leader of the Scorpion Hall.
Before her moves could fully develop, Scorpion Hall Master Hong Erniang channeled her full power, thrusting her sword into the chained protective formation. She then unleashed the second move of the "Armor-Piercing Sword Technique," "Double Claw Lock." She parried, turning defense into offense, restraining the enemy's blade, and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. The Xuanbing chains were locked by the sword parry, their movement rendered powerless. The Emei Sect Leader, Abbess Jingyin, revealed an opening in her center, and Scorpion Hall Master Hong Erniang shifted to the side, her Broken Mountain Sword striking with the third move: "Tail Strike of a Thousand Pounds." With a heavy wrist and immense force, she slashed down with unparalleled power and ferocity. In a split second, a blazing golden wheel shot into the sky, deflecting the oncoming Broken Mountain Sword.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Scorpion Hall Master Hong Erniang flipped backward and landed. Before the protective chains could return to their original state, she unleashed her fourth move with all her might: "Reverse Hook Mountain Crash." With a backhand upward slash, the hook blade curled back, piercing armor and splitting bones with ruthless cruelty. The Mountain-Severing Sword, accompanied by the sharp sound of wind being cut, was determined to sever the Xuanbing chains in one fell swoop.
The Emei Sect Leader, Abbess Jingyin, was prepared. With a flick of her fingers, the Xuanbing Chains flew out like arrows, spinning like a turbine, wrapping around the Broken Mountain Sword layer by layer.
Just as the Broken Mountain Sword was about to fall into the net, Scorpion Hall Master Hong Erniang found a glimmer of hope amidst the inescapable trap. She unleashed her fifth move: "Poisonous Hook Piercing Marrow." After striking her target, she flicked her wrist, causing the hook to spin and inject venom deep into the wound. Once it penetrated the heart, even a celestial being would be powerless to save her.
In this context, the chains are viewed as the body's meridians; upon striking, the hook blade rotates, forcibly creating an opening. This allows her to unleash her sixth move: "Spinning Tail Severing Flow." Her body follows the sword's movement, the hook blade drawing a circle, deflecting surrounding weapons, achieving a seamless blend of offense and defense.
How to combine strength and flexibility to break through armor and kill the enemy? The first five moves of "Armor-Breaking Sword Technique" reveal the essence of this technique. It integrates offense and defense, demonstrating comprehensive consideration. Even against attacks like the Yin-Yang dual-command attack, there are countermeasures.
Having just broken through the protective chains of Xuanbing, a blazing golden halo is about to strike again. How to combine offense and defense? Then comes the seventh move of the "Armor-Piercing Sword Technique," "Golden罡 Body Protection." Sword light dances swiftly, impenetrable, hooked blades pointing outwards, any contact is fatal.
A blazing golden wheel crashed into the Broken Mountain Sword Curtain. In an instant, sparks flew in all directions like golden snakes dancing wildly. The sounds of clashing swords filled the air.
Before the attack could even finish, she forced the Blazing Golden Light Wheel back. At that moment, the Xuanbing Chains scattered, and the Blazing Golden Light Wheel was sent flying. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing obstructing the view, only Abbess Jingyin, the head of the Emei Sect, remained.
A thousand swords pierce through the armor, all for a single, fatal blow.
"Take this!" Scorpion Hall Master Hong Erniang's true energy surged, her black hair flying. She and her sword became one, unleashing the eighth move, "Pointing at the Mountain and Piercing the Clouds." Gathering all her power at the tip of her sword, she transformed into an extremely sharp golden ray, flying out with unstoppable force and the power to shatter anything.
"A fine sword." Master Jingyin, the head of the Emei Sect, finally unleashed the second level of the Sacred Fire Scripture: Yin-Yang Flow and Pearl Control of the Eight Desolations.
The Yin and Yang command beads simultaneously erupted with intense light, the true fire of the sun and the cold flames of the moon converging in mid-air before crashing down upon Scorpion Hall Master Hong Erniang. This was the second level of the upper form: Yin-Yang Transformation. The two commands overlapped and rotated, evolving into the innate Eight Trigrams formation. The Yang command bead was primarily offensive, transforming into a rain of blazing fire; the Yin command bead was primarily defensive, forming the Mysterious Ice Mirror Formation to deflect spells. Offense and defense were integrated, with water and fire complementing each other within the formation. If an enemy were trapped, they would be repeatedly ground down by the Yin and Yang energies until their last bit of power was drained from their body.
Scorpion Hall Master Hong Erniang was utterly overwhelmed by the Yin-Yang Transformation technique. Her Qi Sea was turbulent, her Dantian a mixture of hot and cold, and she was on the verge of demonic possession. In this critical moment, risking severed meridians, Hong Erniang bit her tongue and forcefully unleashed the ultimate killing move of the Armor-Piercing Sword Technique, the ninth form: "Ten Thousand Scorpions Devouring the Sky." Countless golden scorpion shadows materialized, simultaneously attacking from all directions, impossible to dodge or avoid; those struck would have their bodies shattered and their souls destroyed.
At this moment, Scorpion Hall Master Hong Erniang did not seek to kill her enemy in one move, but only to escape with her life!
