Chapter 52

Only to see the people setting up the formation, each group of four holding a fishing net, directed by the formation master, moving horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or flat, constantly changing and narrowing the encirclement.

Luo Fan and Xiaolongnü remained standing still. Gongsun Zhi sneered inwardly, "Are these two scared stiff?"

The fishing nets from the north and northwest converged simultaneously, about to trap the two. Suddenly, a green light flashed, and the surroundings seemed to darken abruptly. In this darkness, it seemed only this green light flashed. The two golden-threaded fishing nets were severed, and the people were cut into several pieces!

"Unbreakable!" The sword was the Green Light Sword, which Luo Fan had buried at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain before his departure. This time, he brought it out.

The rest of the people setting up the formation rushed forward fearlessly, but the sword light flowed, and these people, like moths drawn to a flame, soon lay on the ground, either dead or injured! The sword was already incredibly sharp, and Luo Fan infused it with his vast Nine Yang internal energy, making it even more formidable, capable of cutting through the golden-threaded steel nets!

Silence! A deathly silence! Gongsun Luoye covered her small mouth, which had formed an "O," and could not speak for a long time. Gongsun Zhi was also stunned for a while before regaining his senses. He then consoled himself that this person merely took advantage of the weapon's power. Thinking this, his heart calmed down considerably. He quickly turned back and shouted, "Bring me my weapons!" Then, under the protection of several green-shirted men, he retreated to the stone house.

Luo Fan followed and entered. In the main hall of the stone house, there were still several green-shirted men, holding a woman in a large red wedding dress with a red veil. The woman's body was motionless, clearly having been struck by a point of pressure.

Luo Fan's figure flashed, and several green-shirted men were sent flying. He then carried the woman over, using his lightness skill to return to the original spot in a blink. Luo Fan lifted her veil, and their eyes met. The woman had a fair complexion, a graceful demeanor, and large, star-like eyes. It was Cheng Ying. Luo Fan unblocked several pressure points on her body and asked, "Sister Cheng Ying, are you okay?"

When they first met by West Lake, Luo Fan was wearing a dirty and messy beggar's outfit. Now, he was dressed in white, his hair tied back, with two strands of white hair in front of his forehead, giving him a sense of沧桑 (cang桑) (沧桑 means "沧桑" in Chinese, which can be translated as "weathered" or "aged" in this context). His eyes were deep and piercing. Upon closer inspection, he had a unique charm, and she couldn't help but look at him a few more times, thinking, "I didn't notice this side of him the last time I saw him. He's so young, yet he has these two strands of white hair. I wonder what troubles he has faced in the past year."

The two were now very close, and a heavy masculine aura enveloped her. Cheng Ying's face showed a slight intoxication, but then she seemed to remember something, blushed, and took a few steps back, answering, "No... nothing."

At this moment, Gongsun Zhi had already had his subordinates bring him his weapons. In his left hand was a thick, wide-bladed saw-toothed knife, golden and shiny, seemingly made of gold. In his right hand was a long, thin black sword, which trembled gently in his hand, showing its extreme flexibility. The edges of the blade glowed blue, indicating its sharpness. The two weapons were completely opposite: one was extremely hard and heavy, the other extremely light and flexible.

In Gongsun Zhi's martial arts, the point-striking technique, the fishing net formation, and the dual blades of yin and yang were all inherited from his ancestors. Originally, they all had significant flaws, and if a skilled opponent noticed them, it could lead to a fatal disaster. Therefore, the Gongsun family's strict ancestral rules prohibited them from showing off in the martial world, which was not without self-awareness.

However, Qiu Qianchi was well-versed and meticulous. Her second brother, Qiu Qianren, had once been a master of the Iron Palm, whose martial arts were on par with the Five Greats. Therefore, her martial arts foundation was very deep. After marrying Gongsun Zhi, she helped him弥补 (bǔ mǎn) (弥补 means "to make up for" or "to compensate for" in this context) the many flaws in the family's martial arts, especially in the techniques of the dual blades of yin and yang. She once told him, "This combined knife and sword technique is now complete. Even if the opponent is extremely
