Chapter 351 - - 349 Eyebrows come and go swords_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Compared to Xiang Li’s Earth Tease Army, Ge Zong’s Earth Alien Army seemed much plainer and simplistic.

They had only styled themselves after Spartan warriors and, on a whim during their charge, suddenly performed a Maori haka, and at times while charging, they would hoist a horse and run a distance…

Having been influenced by Xiang Li, Huangfu Yue had become much calmer, quietly waiting for the strange events to unfold.

After charging for a while with all sorts of bizarre actions, Ge Zong’s Earth Alien Army.

The city defense soldiers on the walls of Jiangbei City, as if infected, started imitating odd behaviors, such as stripping off their own armor, walking upside down on the city walls, and trying to lick their elbows, among other things.

The uncontrollable behavior instantly robbed them of their combat effectiveness, allowing the Earth Alien Army to easily breach the walls with a human ladder approach.

By this point.

Huangfu Yue finally understood why the Imperial Master valued people like Xiang Li so much and had formed an army just for the two unknown men.

They, the traditional soldiers, had no way to deal with such absurd combat modes.

She couldn’t imagine how much she’d fall apart if, during a charge, she suddenly jumped down from her horse and inexplicably walked upside down for a distance; it was a fatal blow to morale.

Compared to them, Duge’s act of controlling water and stealing clothes during battle was downright benign.

Huangfu Yue sneakily glanced at Duge, already contemplating withdrawing his title of Earth Wisdom Star. Being grouped with the two perverts under the name Earth Killing Star really put her under great pressure!

…

“What skill?” Duge asked.

“Absurd Contagion,” Ge Zong said with a smile, “The absurd actions I perform randomly infect those around me, making them engage in absurd behavior. The more people infected, the faster it spreads.”

“Randomly?” Duge’s heart shuddered, he instinctively raised his eyebrows, nothing scared him more now than random abilities, completely uncontrollable, you never know who will be unlucky.

“Yes, randomly.” Ge Zong said, with a sheepish smile, “In fact, only a part of the soldiers on the wall just now were infected. The rest were simply scared witless, forgetting to resist. If there had been any among them who could have kept their wits, they could have effectively resisted. Of course, with me leading three thousand men in absurd behavior, their chances of resistance would be slim, and they’d likely be infected quickly.”

The State Preceptor glanced at Ge Zong, then floated back several paces as if he had become a plague.

Seeing their reactions, Ge Zong shook his head and chuckled: “The State Preceptor need not panic; I dare not be mischievous in front of the Imperial Master.”

Huangfu Yue quietly moved her feet, hiding behind Duge, treating him like an amulet.

Having awakened an advanced skill, Ge Zong seemed to exude confidence all over, he looked at Duge and asked, “Imperial Master, I cannot attack when performing absurd behaviors, do you have any good methods to compensate for this weakness?”

“I do!” Duge glanced at him and nodded.

“Really?” Ge Zong’s eyes lit up.

“I have a set of ‘Eyebrows come and go swords’ and a set of ‘Knives with feelings’ that are very suitable to make up for the deficiencies in your skills,” Duge said seriously.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the word loyalty, such a serious keyword, did not suit him at all. Bizarre was much better, in his hands, and he could wield far greater power than Ge Zong, enough to turn the heavens upside down.

“Please teach me, Imperial Master,” Ge Zong said excitedly, “Just from the name, it belongs to a particularly bizarre martial art!”

“The Eyebrows come and go sword is soft yet firm, warm yet full of endless lethality; with a soul-snatching gaze, the sword strikes the enemy’s crucial points. Any sword technique, paired with a lively look, can be called the ‘Eyebrows come and go sword’; the key is in the eyes.”

Speaking of which, Duge drew his own Longsword to demonstrate for Huangfu Yue, casting a tender, affectionate gaze toward her, and threw her a seductive wink.

That touch of softness instantly distracted Huangfu Yue.

But while Huangfu Yue was lost in the moment, Duge’s sword tip had already swept up from below, aiming diagonally toward her throat with deceptive speed…

Huangfu Yue was totally unguarded, and by the time she felt the sword tip against her throat, she snapped back to reality, her face flushed with annoyance, she said, “Imperial master, what kind of crappy swordsmanship is this? On the battlefield, you would have been killed before you even made a move.”

“This sword technique is indeed not suitable for me,” Duge said with a smile, sheathing his Longsword, “but it’s designed for Ge Zong. With his ridiculous impact on others, as long as he masters this swordsmanship to its essence, maybe he can carve a path of his own to becoming a Grandmaster!”

Ge Zong, with his exceptional perception, immediately drew his Longsword and began to demonstrate.

The moment he raised his Longsword, Duge had already dodged away, escaping Ge Zong’s side at top speed.

The State Preceptor and Huangfu Yue were a step too slow, and by the time they thought to leave, they found themselves already affected by Ge Zong’s ludicrous influence and were under his control.

The State Preceptor stretched out his hand to remove his long robe, while Huangfu Yue stuck out her tongue and tried hard to lick her own nose.

Ge Zong cast a flirtatious glance at the State Preceptor, and his Longsword was already pointed at the State Preceptor’s lower abdomen.

Meanwhile, the State Preceptor, forced to undress, watched helplessly as the sword tip aimed at his lower abdomen, unable to make any other move, a trace of panic inexplicably crossing his brow.

However, Huangfu Yue, annoyed at losing her composure while trying to lick her nose, swiped fiercely with her spear, stabbing it toward Ge Zong.

Ge Zong hastily parried with his sword, with a clang, his Longsword deflected the spear. But at that critical moment, Ge Zong had already forgotten the trick to his “Eyebrows come and go swords” technique.

The State Preceptor and Huangfu Yue were snapped back to their senses from the skill’s effect instantly.

In that short span, the State Preceptor had already stripped to the waist. With a swing of his hand, a blast of True Qi struck Ge Zong, sending him crashing heavily against the city wall, spewing a mouthful of blood. However, the State Preceptor, having vented some of his anger, did not take the opportunity to end Ge Zong’s life.

Huangfu Yue quickly retracted her tongue from her nose, glaring fiercely at Ge Zong before withdrawing her spear, and she silently vowed never to get close to this man again.

At this point,

Duge had already drifted back, smiling and asking, “How does it feel?”

“Still needs practice,” Ge Zong responded unperturbed by the State Preceptor’s slap, after all, he had just almost taken down a Grandmaster. Looking at Duge, he grinned and said, “Once I’ve honed this set of swordplay until it’s second nature, no one will be able to interfere when I make my move, and I might even be able to kill a Grandmaster or two.”

“Indeed terrifying,” commented the State Preceptor, glancing at Ge Zong, “My ‘Way of Nature’ was effortlessly broken by him. However, the weakness is also significant. If it had been me trying to lick my nose earlier, by the time he made his move with the sword, he would have been dead.”

“State Preceptor, that’s because I have no martial arts skills of my own. Once I’ve reached the Innate Realm, we’ll have another match to see who wins and who loses,” Ge Zong retorted, not ready to concede.

“I can kill you with a mere gesture from three miles away,” the State Preceptor gave him a sidelong glance, “General Ge, it would be wise not to provoke a Grandmaster before your skill is fully developed. The Imperial master is a master of the Water Art, even if you control his body, he can manipulate the water with but a thought and instantly break your skill. The Qinglan Sword Saint, with Sword Qi that follows his will, no longer needs the aid of any external objects…”

Ge Zong looked sheepishly defensive, partly as if making excuses and partly as if asserting himself, “Without the Imperial master, I wouldn’t be where I am today; I would never lift a hand against him.”

Duge chuckled, “Ge Zong, don’t listen to his nonsense. The bolder one is, the greater the yield. If he can become a Grandmaster, why can’t you? Maybe once you’ve mastered the ‘Eyebrows come and go swords’ to the Grandmaster Realm, from five miles away, just one look and you could make people burn with desire! Isn’t being outrageous also a way of martial arts?”

“Thanks, Brother Du,” Ge Zong grinned proudly at the State Preceptor, thanking Duge, “I will work hard and become a Grandmaster as soon as possible.”

“Good, in the upcoming days, Jiangbei City is yours to stir up as you please,” Duge said, “Quickly integrate your skills with the army. After we take down Lin Qing and his army of three hundred thousand, we will start our counteroffensive, aspiring to take Chongming Country in the shortest possible time.”
