Chapter 1040 Combined Gun and Sword Attack Kills Two Evils
When they faced off again, Zhou You felt ten times more pressure.

He hadn't expected Dao Jingyong's swordsmanship to be so formidable, relentlessly pressing him down with his aggressive, fiery blade.

To be fair, the best swordsmanship Zhou You had ever seen was undoubtedly that of the late Yin Dao.

However, due to the vast difference in power, Zhou You could not directly experience the power of the Yin Blade. He could only comprehend a small part of the power of the semi-saint Yin Blade by relying on the remaining power of the long blade.

But the fierce and valiant swordsman before him was different; the gap between him and Zhou You was not so great as to be incomprehensible.

Simply put, it is strong, but still within an acceptable range.

"Zhou Daqian, you've forced me to use someone else to kill you, that's quite an honor for you!"

Dao Jingyong brandished his executioner's blade, the light of which seemed to burn and explode, instantly piercing through Zhou You's body.

Its sharp, penetrating force is like a steel wire cutting through a master's body, eroding the resistance of his fist intent and spirit.

He clicked his tongue in amazement, "You are quite a prodigy. You have such profound fist intent and fist spirit at the Human Sect realm. If I didn't have the executioner's blade in hand, it would take me a lot of effort to deal with you."

As he spoke, the executioner's blade gleamed coldly, gradually weakening the intent and spirit of his punches.

The blade sliced ​​across Zhou You's body, sending up a string of sparks, and a series of powerful, thunderous blows slammed into him.

"Good knife!"

Zhou You couldn't help but say, "Among the world's masters of swordsmanship, you certainly deserve a place!"

"Hmm, you know your stuff. For those words alone, I'll kill you, but I won't humiliate you!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Dai Tiancheng, who was not far away, said with dissatisfaction, "How can this be? How can you agree to this on your own? I still need to use him to test out some of the newly invented torture techniques."
"Or give me back the executioner's blade!"

Dao Jingyong pretended not to hear, twisting his blade back and forth to cut through the body's defenses, seemingly about to succeed.

Suddenly, Zhou You exhaled and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you don't have any other trump cards left!"

"Isn't that enough?"

Seeing no fear in his eyes, Dao Jingyong felt a sense of foreboding. "Zhou Daqian, where does your confidence come from?"

Having traveled this far, Zhou You was now 90% certain that Dao Jingyong's strength, though formidable, had not exceeded his expectations.

Next, proceed according to the original plan.

"Ding Dong!"

Dao Jingyong, wielding the executioner's blade, charged straight in and stabbed Zhou You in the heart, but was stopped by something, and the flying sparks were extraordinary.

Robes, armor, or perhaps some kind of artifact formed from profound magical power?

Dao Jingyong was, after all, a master of swordsmanship. With a flick of his wrist, the power on the tip of his blade traveled along the outline of the object, and in the blink of an eye, the information returned was that it was a small cauldron.

Without hesitation, he used the slight rebound force to lift the executioner's blade, which slid down along the outline of the small cauldron, still aiming for his vital heart. His on-the-spot changes were swift and agile.

Regardless of his identity, this person's swordsmanship has reached an extraordinary level, with every detail seamlessly blending killing intent with aesthetics.

Even the enemies who die at his hands will feel it was all worth it.

Clang! Another crisp collision sound, but it was blocked again.

Dao Jingyong thought to himself, "They haven't forgotten anything yet. Are these aristocratic disciples like tortoises? They have layers upon layers of protective armor on their bodies."

Even so, it couldn't stop his deadly blade.

Just as he was about to change his move to break through the defense, he suddenly felt a huge sticky force coming from the tip of the blade.

Zhou You held a long sword, its edge intersecting with the executioner's blade. He twisted his arm and gripped the sword tightly, using it to firmly bind the executioner's blade to his wrist.

That's strange, wasn't he using a knife?
Just as Dao Jingyong's doubts began to arise, a sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart, and he quickly shrank back.

A sharp point grazed his scalp, severing large patches of hair and shattering his hair bun into countless black strands. He felt both fear and relief; he had thought victory was assured, but this unexpected and fatal accident had struck.

Upon closer inspection, Zhou You was holding a sword in his left hand and a gun in his right; the gun that had almost pierced his head was none other than that.

The combination of the sword and spear, known as the "Ink Guard Sword" and the "White Cloud Spear," is the most difficult to defend against.

"Dao Jingyong, you've laid out your hand, and I won't hold back either. I'll show you the real deal."

"Swordsmanship is not my specialty; my most powerful skills are with spears and swords."

Dao Jingyong's heart sank. He had almost forgotten that Zhou Daqian had a special identity: he was one of the personal disciples of the Tiannan Divine Sword.

Although the disciples of the Tiannan Divine Sword Sect are numerous and of mixed quality, many have also received the true teachings of swordsmanship.

I originally thought that Zhou Daqian had only met Tiannan Divine Sword once and spent less than a year with him, so he couldn't possibly have learned any real skills from him. But now it seems I was completely wrong.

"Swipe!"

Mo Shoujian parried the executioner's blade, locking the sharpest fangs of Dao Jingyong, while Baiyun Spear pushed forward, its cold light descending to earth like a meteor from beyond the heavens.

When a celestial body falls to Earth, nothing can stop it; only the Earth's boundless virtue can encompass it.

Clearly, a mindset focused on brute force alone cannot achieve the level of profound virtue and compassion.

The spear pierced his abdomen in an instant, shattering his internal organs, and a mass of filth sprayed out of his body through the wound.

As Dao Jingyong felt the pain, his blade flashed, bypassing Mo Shoujian's defenses and piercing into Zhou You's body.

Zhou You let out a muffled groan, his body swayed twice, but he did not bleed or fall down as expected, nor did he take a single step back.

"he……"

Dao Jingyong was filled with questions, but the spear pierced his abdomen, leaving him no time to think.

He was a ruthless man; with a swift stroke, he cleaved open half of his waist and abdomen, then shifted sideways to escape the White Cloud Spear.

The wound was rapidly healing, a testament to the power of evil martial arts—it healed and restored blood extremely quickly.

Just as Dao Jingyong caught his breath, the sword light in front of him surged again. Without the executioner's blade suppressing him, Mo Shoujian also made his move.

That's not all; the White Cloud Spear tumbled like a dragon bathing in the clouds, enveloped and swirled by the winds and energy from all directions.

"Combined Gun and Sword Attack!"

"Stroking my spear and wiping my sword, I sing a lament by the long river!"

"Throughout the ages, time flows on and on, and nothing can escape the vastness of the universe. Sitting here for eternity, all that remains is a long sigh!"

"Dao Jingyong, congratulations on being the first to help me open a business."

Dao Jingyong was terrified. He never expected that the Half-Saint Yin Dao was not Zhou You's strongest trump card, but rather a cover for his true abilities.

The Mo Shou Sword and the Bai Yun Spear alone were enough for him to defend against with all his might, let alone the seamless combination of the two deadly moves, which stimulated each other and raised the destructive power to a new level.

Puff puff!

In the span of a breath, Dao Jingyong's body was pierced thousands of times, with spearheads and sword tips emerging from different parts of his body.

Conservatively speaking, even the smallest bone in his body was drilled into a honeycomb shape.

Punisher, acting on behalf of Heaven, was still locked in combat with Lord Mingjian. He had the upper hand and severed Lord Mingjian's right arm. Just as he was about to press his advantage, he suddenly witnessed Dao Jingyong's death.

In an instant, he was terrified and staggered as he tried to escape.

He didn't forget to push away Lord Mingjian to shield him from the arrow, but Zhou You's combined spear and sword attack seemed to have eyes, circling around in a huge arc and slamming into him. In an instant, a burst of blood and flesh exploded on the ground like fireworks.
