#268 - Dugu Sword Tomb
Furthermore, Liang Yue's attack methods were clearly not limited to what he had shown, the key being that he had too many things to practice now.
At this moment, the Flame Blade in his hand, while not immediately capable of killing the surrounding Yuan Mongol soldiers, seemed to condemn those people to an even more miserable fate.
Because awaiting them was Liang Yue's hair attack, instantly launched with the enhancement of his Xiantian-level Purple Dawn True Qi!
Due to the limitations of his ability level, he didn't dare to play too wildly.
Instead, he obediently gathered several hundred strands of hair, weaving them into a slender hair-spear, and fiercely thrust and stabbed at the surrounding Yuan Mongol soldiers.
With flashes of purple light, he could instantly pierce a series of holes in their faces and skulls.
And he was currently controlling a full twelve of these hair-spears…
In an instant, Liang Yue seemed to transform into a spider demon; wherever he went, large numbers of Mongol soldiers immediately cried out in terror, seemingly losing all courage to resist.
And so, with twelve long spears constantly piercing and thrusting from his back, *chēng chēng chēng*.
The Flame Blade in his left hand slashed and hacked away relentlessly, *shuā shuā shuā*, while the Nine Yin White Bone Claw in his right hand could *kā kā kā* deliver the finishing blow in close combat…
It could be said that wherever Liang Yue went, that place transformed into a scene of carnage!
And that group of Yuan Mongol soldiers was like a flock of lambs trapped in a pit of blood and fire, no matter how they struggled, screamed, or begged for mercy…
In the end, they couldn't escape the fate of being wiped out~
However, despite Liang Yue's operations appearing fierce as a tiger, in terms of actual combat power, he was actually far inferior to when he wielded dual swords.
At least, in terms of killing efficiency, this was certainly the case.
In no more than five minutes, the Yuan Mongol soldiers on the entire road had been reduced to a pile of corpses, with blood and severed limbs covering the ground.
A group of civilians were huddled on the ground, trembling, occasionally glancing at Liang Yue and a large tree by the roadside with worry and awe.
On the treetop, Little Vajra had now transformed back into a tiny bean-sized form, his large eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment as he looked at himself.
Clearly, due to practicing new moves and techniques, Liang Yue's efficiency in killing enemies had now fallen far behind this little guy.
…
"Thank you, Great Immortal, for the grace of saving our lives!"
A middle-aged man, who seemed to be very prestigious among the surrounding people, straightened his clothes at this time, and then came to Liang Yue tremblingly.
He bowed deeply to him, saying with a hint of apprehension in his voice.
"I am not some Great Immortal, nor am I some demon or monster; I am just a martial artist who has cultivated special techniques. This monkey is a natural mutant, however.
But it has long since understood human nature and will not hurt people casually; you don't need to be afraid."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yue also offered a few words of explanation.
But he felt a bit strange inside, because the way he fought now didn't seem like a normal person at all.
The middle-aged man clearly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his words, and the many civilians behind him also slowly began to relax.
However, before long, the crowd began to emit sobs of weeping, which gradually merged into a chorus.
"Alas~! Even so, we still have to thank you, Great Hero, for your help."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man also revealed a face full of sorrow, and then bowed deeply to Liang Yue again.
"Alright, there's no need for these formalities anymore. The most important thing now is to quickly treat the wounds on your bodies, and then pick up the weapons on the ground, as well as the Mongolians' armor, and protect the women in the group to return home."
As he spoke, Liang Yue raised his hand and pointed, continuing, "Aren't there some horses over there? Take those supplies with you on the road; it should be enough for you to consume."
"Thank you, Great Hero!"
"No need. By the way~ where are you people from?"
"We are people from Bing Province."
"Bing Province? Taiyuan, are there still Mongolian soldiers there?"
"Yes! And the number is at least tens of thousands! They have already plundered countless supplies, gold, silver, and manpower. Our group is actually just the vanguard."
"Hmm~ Alright, you guys organize yourselves in a bit and slowly return to Bing Province. If you feel it's too dangerous, head in the direction of Dadu; the Mongolians there have already retreated.
They won't dare to go there again in the short term. I'm going to head to Taiyuan now."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed greatly, and after glancing around a few times, he hurriedly said.
"Ah? Great Hero, why take such a risk? Why not travel with us, when the time comes~"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Liang Yue immediately waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to his little thoughts, and placed Little Vajra into his chest.
With a leap, his entire body was enveloped in purple light, transforming into a shooting star, and disappearing above the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
…
In the following time, Liang Yue began a long and extensive journey of conquest.
According to the Mongol military formations and secret guard distribution map provided by the old eunuch, Liang Yue traveled south after leaving Taiyuan.
First he went to Luoyang City, then took a detour to Kaifeng, and then went to Xuchang and Nanyang, followed by Chang'an, Xianyang, Hanzhong, and then circled around to Xiangyang City.
After clearing out the remnants of the Yuan Mongol soldiers in the city and surrounding areas, Liang Yue specifically took two days, using the spherical camera as a means.
After a careful search, he finally found traces of the Posiqu Snake in a hidden valley outside Xiangyang City.
He wiped out their snake nest in one fell swoop, sending them all into the base world, and then, in a nearby precipitous rocky cliff, he found a stone tablet.
The inscription on the tablet read, "Having roamed the Jianghu for more than thirty years, slaying all my enemies… Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai, being invincible under heaven, buries his sword here. Alas, the heroes are helpless, and the long sword is futile, a sorrow beyond compare!"
After reading this rather pretentious passage, although Liang Yue himself didn't quite agree with it, it was indeed good news for him.
After some rummaging, this fellow successfully found a treasured sword from the mound in front of the stone tablet, which had withstood the test of time and bacteria, yet was still gleaming with a cold, sharp light.
Needless to say, this sword~ must be the fierce weapon that Dugu Qiubai wielded in his youth to compete with the heroes of Hebei.
The sword body weighed just under ten pounds, and the shape was good; at least, in Liang Yue's opinion, it did look like a treasured sword, but it felt a bit light and not heavy enough in his hand.
So after playing with it a few times, this fellow threw it into the library in the base world.
Immediately afterwards, Liang Yue went all the way up the cliff and found Dugu Qiubai's tomb on the top of the cliff in no time.
After some investigation, the secrets of the *Dugu Nine Swords* were obtained!
After that, he didn't stay in Xiangyang City any longer, took out the map given by the old eunuch and glanced at it a few times, and then hurried on his way again.
Thereafter, for about two months, Liang Yue was constantly traveling across the northern land of China.
Wherever he went, he would surely kill the Mongolians until their corpses littered the fields, leaving no armor intact!
Two months later, after there were few Yuan Mongol soldiers of significant scale left within China, he suddenly disappeared from the Jianghu.
For a time, his whereabouts became a mystery!
