Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Two

Upon hearing Leng Yuhang's words, Zhou Yu snapped to his senses instantly.

That's right, the very purpose of him coming up the mountain was to temper his supernatural ability and gain better mastery over it.

If not now, when?

In a flash, Zhou Yu enveloped the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow blade in electric arcs.

He cursed, "You beast, even if I can't hack you to death, I'll roast you to a crisp with electricity."

With that, his entire body began to move fluidly, driving the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to weave a net of blades before him.

The giant squirrel fixed its gaze on Zhou Yu, baring its teeth. Its massive head was about to press down alongside its two front paws planted on the ground.

Zhou Yu moved his body, slowly closing in on the giant squirrel.

Although he was cursing it aloud, in his heart he did not dare underestimate it in the slightest.

However, Zhou Yu had not yet unleashed his full strength; the Yuchang Dagger had not yet made its appearance.

Therefore, for now, it could only be said that Zhou Yu's blade technique had reached its limit. If this still failed, he would have no choice but to unleash his full power.

When he was still about two meters away from the giant squirrel, he had entered his attack range.

Zhou Yu shouted, "Beast, go to hell!"

With that roar, he delivered a spinning slash.

With a loud bang, the snow where the giant squirrel had been standing melted instantly, and the ground turned pitch black, yet there was no sign of the giant squirrel's remains.

Zhou Yu looked at the scorched patch of ground and frowned.

Leng Yuhang shouted, "Behind you!"

Zhou Yu spun around and leaped backward, swinging the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow at the same time.

The giant squirrel's claw touched the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and instantly recoiled.

It let out two squeaks.

And stared intently at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu felt helpless. If he relied solely on the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, he wouldn't be able to close the distance to the giant squirrel quickly.

He had no choice but to draw the Yuchang Dagger from his boot.

When using the saber, Zhou Yu primarily relied on his waist for power, focusing on an unstoppable momentum where brute force overcomes all techniques.

When using the dagger, however, he relied mainly on speed, focusing on the principle that in all martial arts under heaven, speed is unconquerable.

When both weapons were used in tandem, he leveraged the strength and explosive force of his wrists to instantly appear before the enemy, using wrist strength driven by momentum to create devastating destructive power.

After drawing the Yuchang Dagger, Zhou Yu crossed it horizontally across his chest with a backhand grip, while the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in his other hand pointed backward with the blade facing downward.

He shouted, "Explode!"

Then, he instantly closed the distance to the giant squirrel, bringing the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow down in a vertical chop.

Whether the giant squirrel was stunned by the sudden burst of combat power Zhou Yu displayed or for some other reason,

It offered no defense or evasion whatsoever.

First came a loud bang, followed immediately by a sharp squeak—these were the sounds of Zhou Yu's Great Xia Dragon Sparrow striking the giant squirrel squarely on the head, and the giant squirrel's cry of pain.

How could Zhou Yu possibly let up his attack? The moment the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow descended, the Yuchang Dagger in his left hand whipped upward at an angle, driven by a flick of his wrist.

At the same time, using the momentum of his body, he spun around, and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in his right hand swept horizontally almost simultaneously.

With two successive thuds, the giant squirrel was sent flying.

After a few more crashing thuds as the giant squirrel smashed through several trees, it slammed heavily onto the ground.

It let out a few squeaks, scrambled back up, turned around, and fled.

Zhou Yu and Leng Yuhang both froze in astonishment.

Leng Yuhang was stunned because he couldn't believe it had turned tail and run right in the middle of a fight.

As for Zhou Yu, he was in shock—he couldn't believe that even this hadn't managed to kill the giant squirrel.

By the time the two of them recovered their wits, the giant squirrel was already long gone, its shadow completely vanished.

Zhou Yu let out a heavy sigh and said, "I think we should call it a day."

Leng Yuhang nodded as well, his heart still filled with overwhelming shock.
