179: Chapter 179 The Fifth Life, The Blazing Sun Illuminates the Martial Path (127)
"You!" The youth in red was so angry that his face turned red, and he pointed at Chu Shi, unable to speak for a long time.
"You are too arrogant! You really don't know what's good for you!"
"Brother, he looks down on us!"
The youth in brown also puffed out his cheeks in anger, clenching his fists.
"Teach him a lesson! Let him know the power of us brothers!"
The youth in red took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and struck a pose he considered incomparably dashing.
He slowly placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, lifted his chin slightly, and said in an extremely arrogant tone:
"Hmph! Since you are obsessed and insist on seeking your own death, we brothers have no choice but to fulfill your wish!"
"Remember this!" He paused, his voice suddenly rising, "I am Qiu Yang of the Four Seasons Holy Land's Xiating Peak!"
"I am Qiu Feng of the Four Seasons Holy Land's Qiushi Peak!"
The youth in brown hurriedly followed suit, imitating his brother by puffing out his chest and lifting his head.
As a result, his foot tripped on a pebble, and he almost fell flat on his face, but fortunately, Qiu Yang grabbed him by the back of his collar and hoisted him up.
Qiu Yang glared at him with a dark face, continuing to maintain his arrogant expression:
"We two brothers are known as the Qiu Clan Twin Swords! We do not kill nameless nobodies under our swords; tell us your name, lest you become a confused ghost later."
Chu Shi watched the two of them, so comical yet unusually serious, and the mockery on his face gradually faded, his expression becoming solemn.
He cupped his hands slightly and said in a deep voice: "Great Sun Holy Land, Lieyang Peak, Chu Shi."
The moment his voice fell, Chu Shi stomped his foot hard on the ground!
"Boom!"
The ground beneath his feet instantly shattered. Amidst the flying dust, Chu Shi's figure shot out like an arrow released from a bow. His right hand's five fingers were tightly locked, forming a primitive and heavy fist seal.
"Blazing Sun Fist Seal", First Form—Rising Blazing Sun!
In an instant, the golden Qi permeating the air was crazily stirred, turning into countless tiny golden light spots that gathered on Chu Shi's fist like moths to a flame.
A majestic momentum, like a brilliant sun, crashed down. A scorching wave of air rushed toward them, blowing the surrounding leaves until they rustled, and even the gravel on the ground trembled slightly.
The Qiu brothers, who had previously looked like "I am the best in the world," had their expressions change drastically in an instant!
That domineering and scorching heat belonging to the Blazing Sun made them feel as if they had fallen into a furnace. Their previous slacker and silly attitude vanished, and their eyes instantly became as sharp as unsheathed swords.
"Form the formation!"
Qiu Yang roared, and the long sword at his waist was unsheathed with a "clang," its crimson sword light cutting through the air like a bolt of lightning.
Almost at the same time, Qiu Feng's sword was drawn. A brownish-yellow sword light, carrying a bone-chilling coldness, intertwined and entangled with Qiu Yang's crimson sword light.
The two moved their feet, their figures shifting like ghosts. One on the left and one on the right, one attacking and one defending, they coordinated seamlessly, as if they shared a single brain.
In an instant, a strange Concept instantly permeated the area.
It was as if the cicadas of midsummer had suddenly stopped chirping, and a biting autumn wind swept across the earth. Plants withered and turned yellow, fallen leaves flew, all things headed toward decay, and a bone-chilling killing intent shot straight into the sky.
"Twin Swords Combined!"
The two sword lights merged into one, turning into a huge sword shadow containing the intent of summer passing and autumn arriving, the cycle of life and death, and slashed fiercely toward Chu Shi's fist!
"Clang!"
The fist seal and the sword shadow collided with a bang, emitting a deafening sound of metal clashing. Air waves spread in all directions, blowing their robes until they snapped in the wind.
Chu Shi only felt his arm go numb. The scorching aura on his fist was sliced open by that bleak Sword Intent, and the majestic power of the fist seal was actually split in half!
"Not bad."
A flash of surprise crossed Chu Shi's eyes, followed by a hint of nostalgic smile.
"It's a pity, you chose the wrong sword technique for the main attack."
He was too familiar with this autumnal killing intent.
In his third life, his Chen family's ancestral sword technique was this "Susha Sword Manual" that represented the withering of autumn.
Although he hadn't used it for a long time, his understanding of this Concept was far superior to these two youths who were still in the exploration stage.
His gaze was as sharp as a falcon's, and he instantly captured the imperceptible flaw in the operation of the sword formation.
Before the two brothers could show any joy.
Just when the old force had not yet faded and the new force had not yet been generated, almost as a reflex, Chu Shi lunged forward and twisted his wrist.
The fist, which had originally been straight, suddenly changed direction, avoiding Qiu Feng's sharp sword edge, and with the remaining Blazing Sun power and majestic force, it slammed solidly onto the spine of Qiu Feng's sword!
"Clang!"
Another even harsher loud noise rang out, as if a giant bell had been struck beside their ears.
Qiu Feng only felt a terrifying force coming along the sword body, shaking his tiger's mouth until it instantly split open, and blood dripped onto the ground along the hilt.
The long sword in his hand trembled violently, emitting a "humming" cry of grief, almost flying out of his hand.
The originally perfect Twin Swords Combined instantly developed a huge crack!
Qiu Yang's expression changed greatly. He hurriedly retracted his sword to defend and reached out to support Qiu Feng, who had almost been shaken away. The two retreated seven or eight steps before steadying themselves.
In their eyes looking at Chu Shi, there was no longer the previous arrogance, only full of disbelief.
"How is that possible!"
The two brothers shouted in unison, their voices cracking.
Qiu Feng was still clutching his numb arm, his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.
As soon as the words fell, Qiu Yang raised his hand and slapped Qiu Feng on the back of the head, making him stagger.
"Hmph! I told you not to be lazy! I said to retract the sword three points faster, but you were half a beat slow. Isn't that just asking to be exploited?"
Qiu Yang scolded him, hating that he wouldn't improve, and then his eyes turned sharp.
"Change formation! This time, I will be the main attacker, and you will guard the right flank. If you make a mistake again, I will throw away all the jar of candied fruit you hid under the bed when we get back!"
"Brother..."
Qiu Feng pouted aggrievedly, rubbing the back of his head, and just as he was about to defend himself, he was glared back by Qiu Yang's murderous-looking eyes.
He could only droop his head and grip his long sword tightly, muttering softly, "Got it, got it..."
The next second, the two brothers changed their steps simultaneously, and their figures intertwined again.
A completely different Concept from before erupted!
The originally bleak and cold air instantly became extremely hot, and the withered yellow leaves on the ground seemed to be ignited, turning into pieces of golden-red flame phantoms.
Dead wood meets spring, life returns from death. A scorching, extreme Blazing Sun intent shot into the sky, and the surrounding air twisted, steaming with faint white mist.
"The golden maple has not yet pruned the Blazing Sun's bones, and the dead land reopens with June flowers!"
The moment the formation change was completed, Qiu Yang lifted his chin again and recited this poem word by word, his eyes full of unconcealable complacency.
He twisted his wrist, and the crimson long sword spun a sword flower, carrying a momentum several times stronger than before, and stabbed straight at Chu Shi!
