Chapter 684: Sky Net on the Tiger Hill Tower

Seeing Jin Banhua's earnest expression, Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose, thinking, I don't believe you. You just said that you wouldn't intervene when I'm in danger, and now you're suddenly concerned about me?

After the battle, Hu Tiehua finally understood Chu Liuxiang's strategy, feeling a bit scared, "You first provoked his sword aura, and that's how you broke his sword technique?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded, "This person's sword skills have reached the pinnacle, transforming the tangible sword into an intangible aura. I was completely enveloped by his sword intent and couldn't break free."

Hu Tiehua said, "I was standing so far away, and I could barely breathe. What about you?"

Chu Liuxiang explained, "So I had to break through his sword aura first; otherwise, I would have been at his mercy."

"But your sudden leap still startled me." Hu Tiehua said, "Usually, that move is used when the strong fight the weak. If the strike misses, it could lead to a dire situation."

"I had no other choice." Chu Liuxiang said, "Only by doing that could I, after triggering his sword aura with a leaf, take advantage of his momentary pause to lightly tap him on the head with a branch."

Chu Liuxiang looked at Jin Banhua, "But because of your reminder, Shuai Yifan reacted quickly and still managed to crush the branch in my hand."

Hu Tiehua turned to Jin Banhua, "Good job, kid. Your words almost helped Shuai Yifan defeat that old bugger!"

Jin Banhua sighed, "Didn't we just lose? It seems that defeating Chu Liuxiang is still a long and challenging road ahead!"

Hu Tiehua burst into laughter, "That old bugger, aside from his exceptional adaptability, is indeed unparalleled in the world. It's not easy for ordinary people to beat him."

Chu Liuxiang looked at Jin Banhua and asked with a hint of implication, "What do you think of Shuai Yifan's sword skills, Jin brother?"

Jin Banhua smacked his lips, glanced at the already distant Shuai Yifan, and commented, "Just so-so."

Far inferior to the peerless swordsmen like Yan Nantian, Ye Gucheng, Xi Men Chuixue, Gong Jiu, Mu Daoren, Xie Xiaofeng, and Yan Shisan. Even compared to Guo Songyang, A Fei, Jing Wuming, Gongsun Da Niang, Hong Ying Lu Liu, there was still a gap.

However, his skill in condensing sword aura was indeed unique, and it could be considered a remarkable ability.

"Are you talking about Shuai Yifan, the Star Snatching Swordsman? And you say he's just so-so?" Hu Tiehua laughed, "If I hadn't seen you defeat Shi Guan Yin with your sword, I would have thought you were boasting!"

"I never boast!" Jin Banhua held his head high, "If I were to fight, Shuai Yifan couldn't block even one of my swords!"

Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua exchanged glances, unsure if Jin Banhua was boasting or speaking honestly without realizing his own limitations.

In their opinion, even if Shuai Yifan's sword skills weren't the best in the world, they were still among the top tier. To defeat him in a single move was nothing but a fool's dream.

Even if Bashan Gu Daoren were reincarnated or Huashan Zushi were resurrected, they couldn't defeat Shuai Yifan in a single move.

"Regardless, we've finally passed Shuai Yifan's challenge," Chu Liuxiang said, his gaze moving past the Lu Yu Tea Pavilion towards the path leading into the mountains.

"Shuai Yifan was just the first challenge," Hu Tiehua said, "It seems Liu Wumei and the others have really gone all out this time! I wonder who else is waiting for us ahead?"

"Let's go and find out how many challenges Chu Liuxiang can overcome!" Jin Banhua said with a mischievous smile, rubbing his hands together.

...

As dusk deepened, the weather grew cooler.

The trio continued their ascent, quickly passing by the Yuanyang Tomb, Shijian Shi, and Xianren Dong, but they didn't find Green Possession Manor.

Hu Tiehua asked, "You've never been to Green Possession Manor either?"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head, "No, I've only heard that Green Possession Manor embraces the distant mountains, overlooking Taihu Lake, with sandbirds, sails, mist, clouds, bamboo, and trees, making it the most beautiful place in the mountains."

The sky grew darker, and a lantern was lit in the distance, swaying in the wind.

Hu Tiehua took a deep breath, "What's this about?"

Jin Banhua smiled, "This should be the second challenge after Shuai Yifan. Shall we go and take a look?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded, "Of course, we should go and see. Otherwise, if we enter Green Possession Manor at night, we might be mistaken for bandits."

Soon, the three of them reached the lantern and discovered a seven-story tower.

The tower stood alone in the wilderness, surrounded by a desolate and dreary atmosphere, with only the sound of the wind howling.

The red lantern hung at the highest point of the tower's eaves, illuminating a line of words written on the outer wall of the seventh-story stone tower.

Hu Tiehua squinted but couldn't make out the words, so he asked Chu Liuxiang and Jin Banhua, "Can you two see what's written there?"

Chu Liuxiang and Jin Banhua both shook their heads.

Hu Tiehua was about to climb up, but Chu Liuxiang stopped him and decided to go himself.

"Since they're targeting me, it's only natural for me to go," Chu Liuxiang said calmly, "I also want to see what kind of trap they've prepared for me."

As he finished speaking, his figure soared.

Chu Liuxiang was as light as a swallow, or perhaps an elegant crane, his movements swift and agile, surpassing everyone Jin Banhua had ever seen.

Perhaps he wasn't as good as Yan Nantian, who was well-rested from the long journey, in terms of long-distance running. But in short-distance sprints or confined spaces, he was even better than Lu Xiaofeng, who shared a similar style.

Perhaps this was because he didn't breathe through his nose, so he didn't need to pause for breath?

As Jin Banhua admired Chu Liuxiang's light body skills, Chu Liuxiang had already reached the top of the tower and read the words.

[Chu Liuxiang Dies Here.]

Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed, and he was about to descend the tower.

But just as his figure moved, a giant net suddenly fell from the top of the tower.

The net had an extensive range, and under the lantern's glow, it revealed a faint light, clearly not an ordinary fishing net, as it was woven with gold and iron threads, making its descent rapid.

But as fast as the net was, Chu Liuxiang was faster.

Just as Chu Liuxiang was about to escape, a hooked sickle spear suddenly shot out from the fifth floor of the tower.

Chu Liuxiang flipped backwards to dodge the spear but couldn't avoid the net. He was entangled and then lifted into the air by the hooked sickle spear.

These few exchanges happened in the blink of an eye, and Chu Liuxiang had fallen into the trap.

Hu Tiehua was shocked and didn't have time to talk to Jin Banhua. Instead, he drew a short knife, tapped his foot on the ground, and leaped onto the tower to cut the net.

But just as he reached the top, a giant appeared and engaged Hu Tiehua in combat. Hu Tiehua fought desperately and managed to force the giant back, but the hooked sickle spear retracted and extended, striking two of Chu Liuxiang's acupoints. It then struck Hu Tiehua, using Chu Liuxiang as a weapon.

Both of them fell from the tower together.
