You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 371 - 195: Spanning Three Thousand Miles
"Changqing!"
Gu Guangbo stood by the river, holding a long saber at an angle, drawing upon the force of the flowing river. Steam swirled around the blade, cycling endlessly, its power ceaseless.
This was precisely the Tide-Riding Heart Method passed down by the Gu Family, which could harness the water energy of rivers, which is why the Gu family ancestral home was deliberately located by the Xiangjiang River, to always use the terrain advantage to repel any potential invaders.
"Second Uncle."
Gu Changqing was equally focused at this moment, silently operating his Heart Method, using the power of Thought Ability to control the endlessly flowing river water behind him, leveraging the force of heaven and earth, to confront the mysterious and powerful archenemy of the Gu Family in front of him.
Gu Guangbo paused to build strength for a moment, then slashed out with his saber, the momentum like a great river rushing, a flood pouring down, heading straight for Ye Qingzhou.
"I’ll cover you, create the opportunity to strike!"
In an instant of thought-transmitting sound, Gu Guangbo had already leapt into the air, brandishing his saber towards Ye Qingzhou, focused only on distracting the enemy’s sight to create an opportunity for Gu Changqing to deliver a fatal blow.
Although the uncle and nephew had their differences, they were ultimately blood relatives, and at this moment, for the survival of the Gu Family, they cooperated seamlessly.
Woosh~
The surging river transformed into a long saber that slashed down with a thunderous roar, the rushing sound of water echoed loudly, disturbing one’s mind, yet Ye Qingzhou remained calm and composed.
He simply slashed his sword through the saber waves, stepping forward and walking on water.
"Wretched thief, meet your death!"
Remembering that his three brothers had died at the hands of the man before him, Gu Guangbo was filled with bitter hatred, and at this moment, his heart was occupied only with "revenge" with no other thoughts.
Clang~
Clang~ Clang~
The Tide-Treading Blade constantly accumulated True Qi, with the contained force growing increasingly violent.
After a brief exchange, Ye Qingzhou felt the changes through the vibration of the Black Shark Sword, slightly surprised: "This move bears a resemblance to the Mid-Tier Martial Technique Overlapping Waves. The difference lies in that Overlapping Waves puts the cost on the person using the technique, whereas in this move, the pressure is borne by the weapon in hand."
Gu Guangbo’s achievement in the Tide-Treading move was not on par with Gu Guangsheng; he had only practiced to the Skilled Realm, with each accumulation of Sword Qi being eighty percent, rather than doubling.
However, the principle of the technique remained the same.
Therefore, after a few sword clashes with him, Ye Qingzhou understood the mystery within: "Transform True Qi into a vortex undercurrent, allowing it to adhere to the blade, condensed and undispersed, ready to erupt, interesting."
Ye Qingzhou had once observed the Yuu King Stele and comprehended the fragment of the Supreme Profound Jade Scroll upon it.
This book, created by one of the Five Emperors, the Profound Emperor, was renowned alongside the Flame Sun Treasure Seal and the Nine Dragons Emperor Map, all being top Treasure Level Martial Arts containing Dao Truth. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The Flame Sun Treasure Seal belonged to fire, the Nine Dragons Emperor Map to earth, and this Supreme Profound Jade Scroll was indeed a Supreme Divine Skill belonging to water.
"In ancient times, the Profound Emperor was born in Ruoshui, thus realizing the Dao in the water, and understood the Dao Truth of the Returning Flow of Ten Thousand Rivers. The fluctuation and transformation of all energies are encompassed within."
Ye Qingzhou pondered for a moment, then silently circulated the Martial Arts True Qi stored within the combat puppet, converting it via the five viscera into Innate Sunflower Water Qi and Innate Ren Water Qi.
The Sunflower Water Qi was Yin, the Ren Water Qi was Yang; the two merged into one, round and harmonious, evolving the Tai Chi Image in the Sea of Qi of the combat puppet.
The sound of flowing water roared immediately within Ye Qingzhou’s body, and with three successive sword slashes, he could also harness the power of the Xiangjiang river water, gathering it onto his sword’s edge.
Each sword strike was stronger than the last, with each slash increasing in power by about forty percent, marking the entry level to the Dark Tide.
Clang~ Clang~ Clang~
By the time he unleashed the fifth sword, the power of Ye Qingzhou’s Sword Qi had already doubled, sending Gu Guangbo flying backward with tremendous force, his Qi and Blood churning within.
"Tide Flowing Saber Technique? Dark Tide Blade!"
Gu Guangbo’s face showed shock, his expression a mixture of anger and a trace of doubt: "When did you steal my Gu Family’s ultimate techniques?"
"Such minor tricks, only wastes like you would cling to them, fearing they would be learned by others."
Ye Qingzhou spoke with disdain, slashing continuously with his Swift Sword, launching a direct and strong assault.
He stomped heavily as he moved, his sword edge slashing down, and in a matter of breaths, he had practiced the Dark Tide Blade to the Skilled Realm, increasing the power coefficient of his Sword Qi from 0.4 to 0.6.
Each slash grew more forceful, with a sixty percent increase in stacking power, combined with Ye Qingzhou’s already formidable explosiveness, immediately making it difficult for Gu Guangbo to withstand.
Under continuous strikes, even the famous saber in his hand reached its limit, its blade eventually covered in frost, breaking into two pieces under Ye Qingzhou’s fierce chops.
"Changqing!"
In desperation, Gu Guangbo called out for help loudly.
"On my way!"
Gu Changqing had finished gathering his strength, his figure disappearing instantly from the original spot, reaching a saber speed of three times the speed of sound!
Combining the forces of Wind and Thunder, a High-Tier Martial Technique, Complete Cuts with One Slash!
This slash, swift as the wind, mighty as thundering, cut through everything in its path, severing without obstruction, its power shocked the heavens and the earth!
Ye Qingzhou raised his sword as a shield, yet was unable to block Gu Changqing’s earth-shattering blow; at the moment of contact, the Black Shark Sword broke with a resounding crack.
Gu Changqing’s saber’s remaining force did not diminish, slicing fiercely towards Ye Qingzhou’s chest, only to result in a clanging sound, unable to advance further.
As it turned out, just a moment ago, Ye Qingzhou used his sword as a shield. Although he couldn’t block the slash, he did succeed in dissipating most of the force, causing Gu Changqing’s saber to lose its momentum like a spent crossbow arrow, unable to penetrate the armor.
