Chu Zhiyuan could only recognize one of them as a Grandmaster from the Jade Cauldron Sect, and the remaining two could only be guessed at. That crescent moon should be a Grandmaster from the Shadow Sect.
As for the three-headed, six-armed figure, it was unknown which sect he belonged to. Could it be the Fearless Sect? These three sects were the most eager to kill him right now.
The remaining evil sects had no conflict with him for the time being, but that didn't mean they wouldn't take action. No other Grandmasters were detected within his sensory range.
The four Grandmasters from the Grandmaster's Mansion who hadn't laid an ambush in advance, and Song Feiqiong, who was secretly protecting Xiao Ruoling, were hiding in the shadows.
Either they would rush out at any moment, or they would wait for the three evil sect Grandmasters to be exhausted before making their move. Chu Zhiyuan's spirits were lifted.
This was a rare opportunity to observe the specific details of a real Grandmaster-level battle.
Normally, Grandmasters rarely took action, and even when they did, they almost never went all out, so there was no chance to witness their battles. Now, he finally had this opportunity.
Even though his super-sense was affected by the Visualization Diagram, causing waves of dizziness and discomfort, he still insisted on watching. However, the situation in the arena was completely unexpected and defied his imagination.
Six people were fighting against three, all using fists and feet, without weapons, looking as light as if they were just playing around. Their fists and palms were all crooked and twisted, changing and shifting, erratic and uncertain, without any finesse or grace. Chu Zhiyuan wondered if these nine people were really Grandmasters, or just nine drunkards fighting randomly? He then realized that the Visualization Diagrams of these nine Grandmasters were rapidly spreading and enlarging.
After the nine Visualization Diagrams expanded and merged with each other, it became difficult to separate them. Chu Zhiyuan realized that they seemed unable to see each other, like blind people fighting.
Their moves changed constantly, and even though a person was standing there, their fist would strike to the side. This was clearly caused by the Visualization Diagrams.
His super-sense remotely observed and deduced that the Visualization Diagrams were distorting each other's senses, causing them to have illusions and confusing their five senses. No one could hit anyone, and they couldn't use their strength even if they had it.
This made Chu Zhiyuan wary.
When encountering a Grandmaster, one would find their strength useless, as even the greatest power would be futile if it couldn't hit the opponent. The foundation of a Grandmaster's power was mental strength.
This mental strength was not the same as his current mental strength, but a refined form of mental strength, just like inner Qi compared to true Qi and Gang Qi. If he were to encounter a Grandmaster, could he transcend their influence with his super-sense and avoid having his five senses distorted?
Thinking of this, he turned his head and said, "Zou Fang, tell Mo Yi and the others to go out first, to the next courtyard, as far away from here as possible."
"Yes," Zou Fang replied and disappeared like a ghost.
Mo Yi and the four women quickly left the small courtyard and went to the last room in this row of courtyards. Chu Zhiyuan then floated away, to the other end of this row of courtyards, as far away from Mo Yi and the four women as possible. He took out the black pearl.
This black pearl had already been refined, and at this time, it flickered slightly, as if black flames were flickering within.
At this moment, it fully exerted its wonderful use, which was to shield his Qi and aura. After completing these preparations, he entered the dark room.
Zou Fang followed and whispered, "Young Master?"
"You..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered, placing his left hand on his shoulder, causing the aura of the black pearl to envelop him as well. Suddenly, a faint phantom flew out of his right sleeve.
This phantom passed through the house, swept over the wall, and flew north towards the top of the mountain, silently shooting towards the Jade Cauldron Sect's Grandmaster. This Jade Cauldron Sect Grandmaster was a handsome middle-aged man, tall and upright, with the air of a jade tree facing the wind.
Just as he realized something was wrong, the flying knife had already reached him. Unable to dodge, he could only slam his right palm against it.
His right palm was blood-red, as if coated with a layer of rouge, barely colliding with the flying knife-shaped phantom.
"Bang!" In the muffled sound, the flying knife revealed its true form and was knocked away. The knocked-away flying knife was dull and lifeless, falling silently to the ground.
Although the Heart-Questioning Blade Art gathered the power of Chu Zhiyuan's entire body and was mixed with mental strength, it still failed to break through the Grandmaster's defense, and the Grandmaster erased the connection between the flying knife and Chu Zhiyuan, erasing the flying knife's spiritual light.
The huge Jade Cauldron shook slightly.
In this moment, two jade-like small hands gently landed on his chest and back, one in front and one behind, exactly on both sides of his heart. "Puff!"
The Jade Cauldron Sect's Grandmaster immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with minced meat. His face instantly turned red.
The huge Jade Cauldron shook again.
Two white little hands gently pressed against the back of his head and forehead again.
He was about to dodge, but suddenly stagnated, and illusions arose before his eyes as his five senses twisted. Chu Zhiyuan watched as he was struck by the two white jade hands.
"Pop!"
In the crisp sound, blood spurted from his seven orifices, and he stood stiffly without moving. The jade cauldron slowly dissipated.
"Old Wu!" The other two Grandmasters roared in anger.
They never expected that Wu Jizhong would be killed so easily.
Killing a Grandmaster was too difficult. Even if he was defeated, Wu Jizhong had the Jade Cauldron Sect's jade-and-stone-both-burn tactics and could leave calmly. But this time, he was actually struck in the head by the two women, which was almost impossible.
"Giggle giggle..."
"Good riddance!"
"Dare to come to my Moon Invitation Palace, this is the end!" The two Moon Invitation Palace female elders giggled.
They looked like eighteen-year-old girls, and even their eyebrows didn't have any traces of vicissitudes, no different from young girls. Their laughter was crisp and pleasant.
In the ears of the other two middle-aged men, it sounded extremely grating. "None of you will escape today!"
"Yun Qiuhua, just wait for our revenge!"
"Hey, courting death, take this palm!"
"Take this palm!"
A white light and a black light shot out, faster than the previous one. The previous one was a hidden knife, but these two were the Day Knife and the Night Knife.
The two middle-aged men were already prepared and flashed to avoid them, but they saw the flying knives turn.
They actually changed direction and shot towards the two of them again.
"Chih!"
"Chih!"
The two flying knives eventually grazed their shoulders and shot into the distance, drawing a circle in the air and shooting towards the two of them again. "Good fellow!"
The two were immediately surprised.
It was surprising enough for the flying knives to change direction in the air, but it was even more astonishing that they could turn around and come back. More importantly, they could really find them and really hit them!
Twelve white little hands enveloped them, sealing off the two men's dodging space in all directions. "Bang bang bang bang!"
Muffled sounds like thunder.
The two could only take the blows head-on, staggering. The extraordinary power of the Moon Invitation Palace's unique skill was unparalleled, and the palm strength of the six women was astonishing, suppressing them so that they couldn't breathe. "Get out of the way!"
The two roared, and their green robes swelled.
The six women ignored their roars, and their jade palms floated down, densely packed and airtight. "Chih!"
"Chih!"
Two more black and white knife lights shot over again. The two men each struck out with their palms to knock them away.
Then, they were struck by several palms, and two jade hands gently struck the back of their heads.
Even for Grandmasters, their heads were not protected by spiritual energy and were extremely fragile. The back of the head was the most vulnerable, unable to withstand a palm strike. After taking a solid palm strike, their brains immediately burst.
"Bang bang!"
They took several more palms and fell to the ground limply, dying silently....
"Did they just die like that?"
Yun Qiuhua glanced at the three corpses on the ground, feeling a little unreal. "They're dead!"
"They're really dead!"
The other five women also felt unreal, carefully examining the corpses to confirm that they were indeed dead.
Yun Qiuhua turned her head to look at the small courtyard where Chu Zhiyuan was and smiled, "Everyone says that the Fourth Young Master's flying knives are powerful, but I didn't expect them to be this powerful!"
The flying knives didn't hurt these three Grandmasters, but they affected the three Grandmasters, breaking the stalemate and allowing these three fellows to reveal flaws, allowing the six of them to succeed.
