248: Insidious tactics

Clang!

Ding Yin's wrist went numb, but there wasn't even a white mark on Tang Ku's head.

"Heh, this monk has a really hard head!"

The Blood Demon Ding Yin slightly turned his right hand, and the sword in his hand suddenly turned into a stream of light, viciously stabbing towards Tang Ku's chest.

"I wonder if your chest is as hard as your head!"

Hum!

A burst of Qi surged, knocking Tang Ku flying. His already tattered monk robes were instantly shredded, but even so, it only left a white mark on Tang Ku's chest, not harming him in the slightest.

However, Tang Ku was puzzled this time.

Because just now, he had used Xuanwu True Skill to defend against the opponent's attack, yet it still pierced through his surface defense layer and struck his body directly.

This white mark was something he had withstood with his Physical Body.

"Xuanwu True Skill is not working?"

Tang Ku pondered for a moment, then his right arm suddenly grabbed the opponent's long sword, while he secretly thought, "Your strength cannot harm me in the slightest, and it is even more impossible to break through the Xuanwu True Skill produced by the System... The real oddity must be in this sword..."

Snap!

Tang Ku grabbed the blade and pulled it forcefully towards his chest. Ding Yin, caught off guard, was actually pulled over by his immense brute strength.

Bang!

The blood sword suddenly exploded, shattering into a sky full of blood rain, disappearing without a trace!

"Hmm, this sword is entirely condensed from Qi and blood... It has no physical entity..."

Tang Ku was slightly taken aback, but then he saw another identical long sword appear in the opponent's hand.

"Heh, I can have as many of these identical swords as I want. I was once a Sword Cultivator, and having something like this in my hand feels better!" Ding Yin laughed.

"Interesting..."

Tang Ku smiled slightly, moved his body, and rushed towards Ding Yin. The two began to trade blows in the sky.

It must be said that Ding Yin had some real skills in swordsmanship; his sword techniques were fierce and fast, focusing on speed and a never-looking-back momentum.

Tang Ku's fist techniques were also solely focused on offense, and that indomitable Aura was exactly the same as Ding Yin's swordsmanship. This battle was truly spectacular; if someone had filmed it with a camera, it could be used directly as a blockbuster special effects movie.

However, both sides knew that this kind of fighting couldn't harm each other in the slightest; it was just a probe, a test of the enemy's basic strength.

Clang!

The long sword collided with the fist, once again turning into countless blood droplets falling into the sea of blood, while Tang Ku flew backward, observing the movements of his hands.

A certain amount of blood Qi from the sea of blood was constantly condensing into his palm, and another sword appeared...

"No, the amount of blood Qi emitted from the sea of blood doesn't seem sufficient to take the form of this powerful long sword..." Tang Ku frowned slightly.

"That's it, in this entire Blood Cave, even the air is filled with blood Qi, so he can summon and condense any object at will, or even..."

Before he could finish speaking, countless figures identical to Ding Yin suddenly appeared around Tang Ku, all holding long swords, surrounding him.

"Heh, monk, try to see if you can take this move!"

Swish!

The original Ding Yin suddenly swung a sword at Tang Ku, and a crescent-shaped Sword Qi suddenly slashed obliquely towards Tang Ku's body.

This Sword Qi was almost half a meter long, but it was slow, moving like a tortoise compared to their movement speed. Tang Ku subconsciously dodged to the side, but when he turned his head, he saw that the Sword Qi was suddenly caught by one of Ding Yin's Clones with a long sword, and then it swung a sword at Tang Ku, with an angle much trickier than before.

"Hmm? The speed and power of the Sword Qi are twice as strong as before. If it continues like this, if others catch it, wouldn't the power of the Sword Qi be even stronger... Is this a relay? Hmph, let me cut off your relay..."

As he spoke, Tang Ku raised his fist and smashed it at the incoming Sword Qi, but unexpectedly, just as he started to exert force, a dangerous Aura suddenly came from his side. A crimson Sword Qi suddenly slashed from the side, knocking Tang Ku flying directly.

Although it couldn't harm him in the slightest, it still left him in a disheveled state.

"No, is this not for a relay? Hmm, wait..."

The Sword Qi that had just doubled was actually caught by a Clone in the bottom left corner, and then another Sword Qi, which was twice as strong, flew over, just in time to hit Tang Ku's back...

Hum!

Just when Tang Ku was confused, all the Clones made different movements to release Sword Qi, and then countless Sword Qi of different sizes, powers, and speeds flew towards Tang Ku.

"No... There is absolutely no method or pattern. Just now, he deliberately let me think that this Sword Qi was for a relay... Heh, what a clever scheme..."

Countless Sword Qi were almost chasing Tang Ku. Tang Ku rushed left and right in this huge, strange circle, dodging most of the Sword Qi, but he would be knocked flying by a small portion of stronger Sword Qi. In just a split second, in a matter of seconds, he suffered dozens or hundreds of attacks. The Sword Qi was very powerful; an ordinary person would have already been torn to pieces, but he forcibly withstood it with his Physical Body.

"Heh, it seems you have already seen through the secret of this move..." As Tang Ku's movements slowed down, the Blood Demon Ding Yin slowly said, "The name of this move is Chaotic Clouds. To be honest, in the past, any cultivator who entered my Chaotic Cloud Sword Formation would basically end up as minced meat. But you are different. You are the first person to persist in the sword formation for such a long time, and you haven't even been injured yet. I have to say, you are stronger than all the opponents I have encountered in the past combined..."

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes slightly and simply stopped dodging. He pondered for a moment, opened his arms, and let those attacks land on him.

"Boom..."

Countless blood-colored Sword Qi almost buried Tang Ku completely. A spherical mushroom cloud suddenly exploded, and amidst the surging air waves, even those Clones of the Blood Demon were forcibly blown away.

The Blood Demon Ding Yin frowned, completely unable to understand the purpose of Tang Ku's actions. In fact, although these Sword Qi could not harm him, they could force him into a dead end, allowing him to secretly unleash a real killer move, a move capable of killing Tang Ku in one blow.

But he suddenly stopped dodging. Could it be that he had already discovered something?

Bang!

Violent Qi suddenly exploded, and Tang Ku's figure suddenly appeared. This time, apart from a tattered pair of underpants, he had no other covering on his body.

"Heh, I am indeed quite disheveled, but let's skip these flashy tricks! Heh, controlling my internal organs and limbs through the distribution of blood and Qi... I must say, you are truly insidious!" Tang Ku sneered.

Ding Yin's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "How exactly did you discover it?"
