Chapter 55 Double Swords

Hearing Fang Yue's words, Lin Ling immediately gave Lao Yang and the other vice-captains a look.

They nodded in understanding, and simultaneously threw the pile of iron swords they were holding high in the direction of Fang Yue.

Dozens of iron swords, scattered in the night sky, transformed into twinkling starlight as they fell rapidly.

*Shua shua shua shua shua-*

The first iron sword pierced the ground, landing not far from Fang Yue.

The other iron swords also scattered and fell, forming a scattered encirclement, surrounding Fang Yue and the strange entity within.

The strange entity also noticed this and stopped abruptly, on high alert.

In an instant, a large number of iron swords were haphazardly stuck in the ground around the two figures, resembling Unlimited Blade Works.

Nice!

Fang Yue was overjoyed. He pulled up the nearest iron sword, then, feeling it wasn't enough, pulled up another.

Holding two iron swords, Fang Yue felt much more confident.

Back in the day, the Thirteen Protectors of Huaguo Mountain wielded two watermelon knives each, hacking all the way from the South Heaven Gate to Penglai East Road, hacking back and forth for three days and three nights!

The blood flowed like rivers, yet they just raised and lowered their knives, raised and lowered their knives, without even blinking!

Today, Fang Yue, wielding two iron swords, could hack the strange entity until it cried for its parents and begged for death!

With a loud roar, Fang Yue charged towards the strange entity with two iron swords in hand.

Everyone was shocked at this sight.

"Holy crap! Dual-wielding!"

"He actually knows dual-wielding swordsmanship?"

"Martial skill! He knows martial skills! Without a corresponding martial skill, it's impossible to fight while dual-wielding iron swords. He must be..."

*Bang!!*

A loud crash.

Fang Yue, who had charged ferociously towards the strange entity, was sent flying back in the same manner.

Along with Fang Yue's heavy landing, were two iron swords broken in half.

Watching the graceful arc in the air, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone: ...

Lin Ling: ...

The bragging... can't continue!

Big brother, if you don't know dual-wielding swordsmanship, why are you holding two swords!

Everyone was dumbfounded. Lin Ling even covered his face, unable to bear to watch.

How much of a novice would think of casually grabbing two swords to fight?

Every martial art corresponds to a weapon. Even swordsmanship has long swords, short swords, dual swords, and so on.

Even for dual swords, they're usually short-handled dual swords similar to daggers, not this kind of single-handed sword.

It's not that there aren't martial arts for dual-wielding single-handed swords, but they're very niche, and few people practice them. Fang Yue obviously didn't have access to such obscure martial arts.

Moreover, as far as Lin Ling knew, Chen Mu's swordsmanship was also a regular single-sword style, with no mention of dual-wielding.

Watching Fang Yue somersault smoothly and get up, nonchalantly running a short distance to pick up another sword, Lin Ling finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Swordsmanship! Little Ye, use the swordsmanship Chen Mu taught you!"

Swords are weapons, with sharpness values. Sharpness values can buff the wielder, causing greater damage.

Like Fang Yue before, throwing punches only dealt damage in the low 30s, and 50 was considered a small critical hit.

But after equipping the iron sword, the damage increased straight up, fluctuating from 40-60, although it wore down the sword faster.

Equipping a weapon also changes the fighting style.

Whether you can adapt and utilize the weapon is the most important thing.

In addition to providing damage bonuses, the most important thing about weapons is that they provide the prerequisite for activating martial arts!

Without a sword in hand, there can be no sword techniques.

Without a blade, naturally, there can be no saber moves.

Swordsmanship is based on the sword, only then can it be performed.

Originally, Lin Ling sent the sword to Fang Yue, hoping that Fang Yue would use swordsmanship to kill the strange entity.

But after watching for a long time, what Fang Yue was performing wasn't swordsmanship at all. It was just random hacking with no rhyme or reason.

As Lin Ling shouted, Fang Yue was already fighting with the strange entity, and had no time to respond.

Lin Ling was extremely anxious, and shouted again, his voice hoarse, "Swordsmanship! Swordsmanship!"

Damn it!

Why are you yelling so loudly!

If I had internal energy, I would have smacked the strange entity in the face with swordsmanship long ago!

Fang Yue's face darkened. While using one hand to wield the sword and block the strange entity's attack, he used the other hand to pick up an iron sword from the ground and chop it directly on the strange entity's neck.

-63!

With a *clang*, a small critical hit notification popped up.

Before Fang Yue could show any joy, the strange entity lifted its foot and kicked him in the chest, accompanied by the sound of cracking bones. The whole person flew out a dozen meters.

-148!

Damn it!

When Fang Yue landed and rolled several times, he immediately got up and shouted at Lin Ling.

"Stop shouting! I don't have internal energy! How can I use swordsmanship!"

Internal energy?

Lin Ling was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and blurted out, "Chen Mu taught you the Starfire Swordsmanship?! Doesn't he know you don't have internal energy!"

Fang Yue's blood had just recovered, and the bones that had caved in in his chest quickly returned to their original shape.

Just as he was about to face the approaching strange entity, he heard Lin Ling's words, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

So annoying, can't this guy understand human language?

Enraged, Fang Yue violently slashed at the strange entity's shoulder with a sword, causing the strange entity to stagger, its feet sinking a few centimeters into the ground.

"No internal energy! No internal energy! Can't you understand! I know internal energy, I know the Starfire Set Meal, I just haven't recovered my internal energy yet!!"

Amidst the roars, Fang Yue continuously struck, actually briefly suppressing the strange entity, but he was quickly slapped away again.

Lin Ling understood what Fang Yue meant, but he still felt incredulous.

Chen Mu actually didn't teach any basic swordsmanship of vulgar martial arts, and directly taught Fang Yue the Starfire Swordsmanship!

Wouldn't that mean Fang Yue's basic dual stats started as high as 30 points?

What kind of person is this?!

Lin Ling accepted the special physique as something innate.

But what's with having 30 dual stats without practicing martial arts?

Is he really a peerless genius, one in ten thousand?

I'm going to vomit!

Lin Ling's flames of jealousy burned fiercely, and a sourness welled up. Hearing Lao Yang ask him what to do, Lin Ling blurted out.

"What to do? I'd rather he die!!"

Ah? What's wrong?

Everyone was a little dumbfounded, confused by Lin Ling's sudden one hundred and eighty-degree turn in attitude.

But fortunately, Lin Ling was just running his mouth.

He'd rather Fang Yue die, but he wouldn't actually do it.

Public is public, private is private.

Fang Yue protecting Gu Yue Village is a public matter, so he must do his best to help, even if he's unwilling.

"Hua Wu Ye shouldn't be dead yet, go get her Dregs Yuan Pill and throw it to Little Ye. When he recovers his internal energy, he can use martial arts techniques, and his strength will skyrocket."

Although Lao Yang was puzzled, he still obeyed and retrieved the Dregs Yuan Pill from the small bag of the dying Hua Wu Ye.

This is the Dregs Yuan Pill!

Looking at the exquisite ceramic bottle in his hand, Lao Yang's breathing quickened.

Vice-captains' greatest achievement is only in mundane martial arts.

Not entering martial dao, in the end, is to be mundane!

Looking at the Dregs Yuan Pill, which only martial dao talents can afford, Lao Yang's emotions were complex, but he quickly suppressed them.

He glanced at the still unconscious Hua Wu Ye, and forcefully threw the bottle containing the Dregs Yuan Pill towards Fang Yue.

"Little Ye! Catch! This is the Dregs Yuan Pill, it can restore internal energy!"
