The two curved blades flew straight out, but Shorty and his doppelganger had been knocked down by Yi Yun’s two brick blows.
“Boom!”
Shorty slammed to the ground heavily while his “doppelganger” lost its ability to move and twisted into a pile.
Only then did people realize that this was not really a split body.
In martial arts, those who reached a high cultivation level could have a doppelganger, but Shorty was far from that level.
His so-called doppelganger was actually a puppet. When Shorty threw out his puppet, he had injected the puppet with his Yuan Qi. Together with his own afterimage and fast speed, it created this doppelganger effect.
But this method was nothing to Yi Yun who had formed Heaven’s eyeball. He saw through it with a single glance.
Shorty was defeated in the same way as the others, being knocked unconscious by Yi Yun.
Up to this point, no one had been able to escape the curse of Yi Yun’s brick. That brick, in the hands of Yi Yun, was a terrifying weapon that would cause nightmares amongst the Hongdao Association’s members.
A brick on your head would result in a big bump, who wouldn’t fear it!?
They could not imagine the feeling of watching helplessly as Yi Yun knocked them down with his brick when it came to their turn.
They could predict the result of the match. They had to stick out their heads, just to be knocked down by him. What was more painful than this?
At this point, all the members from the Hongdao Association who had declared war on Yi Yun felt like they were sitting on pins and needles!
A youth suddenly gritted his teeth and said, “This kid must have practiced some special cultivation technique! We have all been fooled by him. He may look aloof, making others think he’s weak. Actually he is using a very domineering and powerful move! And that move’s carrier is… the brick!”
This youth’s words enlightened many!
Everyone looked at each other and suddenly felt that the youth’s words made sense!
But there were others who were in doubt, “It can’t be… His original weapon was a long saber… That long saber should be his weapon of choice, right?”
Upon facing this question, the youth from before denied it, “Bro, you are too naive. Don’t be fooled by appearances. Has any of you seen Yi Yun fight with that long saber? Ever since he came to the Tai Ah Divine City, he has been picking herbs, all the time! Picking herbs! Picking more herbs! And still picking herbs! He had never fought with us. We don’t even know what cultivation technique he practices!”
“I am 70% sure that Yi Yun has picked up a secret mystic technique, and this secret technique is related to bricks. In this world, there are sword skills, saber skills and spear skills. Why can’t there be ‘brick skills’? Don’t find it ridiculous. Think about it carefully, there are all sorts of weird cultivation techniques in this world. Having one of these cultivation techniques use a brick as the main weapon would be normal!”
This youth began to firmly believe in his own hypothesis.
People began to feel enlightened. “Bro, you’re right! No wonder this guy was leisurely walking to the arena in the morning when I saw him. He knew many were waiting to challenge him, yet he was not worried at all, it was as if he was not involved in it! His calmness was abnormal!”
“Right, when he went on-stage, he was peaceful as a dove, with no stress at all. Previously, he even provoked us to increase the stakes of the battles. Looks like he was confident early on. With his secret ‘brick’ technique, he was not afraid of us! This Yi Yun is too cunning!”
People became more and more convinced, as if they had seen through Yi Yun’s secret.
At the same time, the Hongdao Association’s youths grew furious at Yi Yun’s provocation for them to raise the stakes. Now, they finally realized they had been cheated by Yi Yun into raising the stakes!
This bastard!
But the problem now was, even if they knew Yi Yun practiced a mystic technique and that his weapon was a brick, how were they going to crack it?
The difference in strength was too great. They would still be knocked down when they went on-stage!
“Brothers, we have to think of a way to control the brick in his hand. Do not be tricked by the brick’s appearance. It might look comical, but in Yi Yun’s hand, it’s the most feared weapon in the world!”
Someone said the concluding remark.
The other youths echoed, “Right. We need to treat the brick as the sharpest saber, sword or spear! Speaking of swordsmen, some swordsmen can have such superb swordplay that they can “be one with the sword”. The bodies of those swordsmen who can ‘be one with the sword’ are equivalent to a sword. And that sword is also their body!”
“This Yi Yun, he might even have reached the stage of ‘being one with the brick’!”
“
