Chen Chang Sheng unhesitatingly jumped backwards, wanting to use Discerning Steps; at the same time, his right hand had already grasped onto his short sword’s hilt while his left hand held onto a small item that dropped out of his sleeve.
As expected, Gou Han Shi’s third sword arrived.
Three moves in succession, without any sort of gap in-between, this didn’t give Chen Chang Sheng any sort of breathing room. A song drifted in from the horizon and sunset clouds sprang from nothing; a fishing boat then appeared from within the clouds.
The fisherman’s song is sung thrice and thus, three swords.
This was the sword art used by Gou Han Shi, and also his strongest.
His first sword had struck down Rainfall Whip, the second move had sent the Sword of Wen Shui flying. This third manoeuvre was akin to the sunset’s brilliance, dazzling the eyes as it arrived; how could Chen Chang Sheng counter this?
The three moves were chained sinuously, perfect in every way; he didn’t even have the chance to utilise Discerning Steps.
A loud cracking noise resounded within the tower.
In front of Gou Han Shi’s blade, there was already no trace of Chen Chang Sheng’s figure.
Chen Chang Sheng reappeared on the wall behind Gou Han Shi, at a distance of 70 odd metres.
Due to the three swords that were seemingly pleasant and calm, but in actuality, were petrifying, his body had become ashen in colour and a slight shivering could be seen.
A wisp of white smoke could be seen rising from the gaps of the fingers on his left hand that was currently tightly clenched into a fist.
Gou Han Shi withdrew his sword and calmly stood, he looked at Chen Chang Sheng and asked, slightly surprised: “Thousand Mile Button?”
That’s right, the last method used by Chen Chang Sheng to avoid the final blow from the Three Blades of the Fisherman’s Song was a Thousand Mile Button. Only this item could help him avoid the momentum Gou Han Shi had been accumulating for so long, his three unyielding manoeuvres.
While he, Luo Luo and the others were contemplating how to approach this battle at the woodlands, how could Gou Han Shi possibly not also do the same?
Within the tower, it was blanketed in silence, after a brief moment, a gasp of surprise drifted down from the second floor.
In order to avoid a single manoeuvre, Chen Chang Sheng had actually utilised a priceless Thousand Mile Button that is valued akin to life itself amongst cultivators. This made everyone feel shocked, at the same time, it confirmed the degree to which Her Highness respected and cherished her young tutor. But what shocked those people within the tower the most, was Gou Han Shi’s three manoeuvres.
Those three swords seemed very ordinary, without any accompanying storm, with the sunset being serene; yet, it was indeed worthy of being Gou Han Shi’s strongest three moves, to have actually given people the impression that they didn’t want to resist it.
If Chen Chang Sheng hadn’t used Rainfall Whip, the Sword of Wen Shui and the Thousand Mile Button, he would definitely have lost.
Gou Han Shi really was exceedingly strong.
They were all rather amazed, even in the previous match against Zhe Xiu, Gou Han Shi hadn’t immediately used a secret sword like this the moment he started. Why had he not held back at all this time while facing against Chen Chang Sheng?
Chen Chang Sheng looked at Rainfall Whip which was lying on the floor, thought of the Sword of Wen Shui which had fallen to some unknown place and thought of the Thousand Mile Button that had dissipated into nothingness within his palm.
He became silent, knowing that the gap between him and Gou Han Shi was enormously large, far larger than the gap between Zhe Xiu and Gou Han Shi.
If Gou Han Shi still had a fourth move, how could he block?
