Chapter 511: Chapter 511 Exaggeration
Although Lin Zhiruo’s scream was promptly interrupted by Lin Shu, how could he possibly hide the presence of a powerful calamity ferrying bandit in front of a Heavenly Sword Master?
Lu Yunsheng looked at Hong Jian in astonishment, laughing in disbelief. "They say that the Saints of Wanhua River Valley in this generation are noble and arrogant. Now it seems I’ve either misunderstood Wanhua Valley, or the rumors were exaggerated."
As soon as those words were spoken, the two elders of Wanhua Valley—Biyue and Yaoyue—remained expressionless, unable to retort, simply feigning indifference.
"Eighty percent!"
Just as the Azure Dragon Sword Sect swung its sword towards Yang Tian again, Shang Ren from Tian Jian and Lu Yunsheng from Jinghong Sword exchanged glances, each silently contemplating in their hearts.
As fellow practitioners of the way of the sword, their sensitivity to the Spirit of the Sword far surpasses that of ordinary people.
Before the Azure Dragon Sword Sect’s sword was severed earlier, although Yang Tian had easily neutralized it, they could discern that the Azure Dragon Sword Sect’s blade was a casual strike, utilizing only thirty percent of its total energy.
This time, however, was different. A full eighty percent of the true energy was directly unleashed.
In terms of both power and speed, it couldn’t be compared to the initial strike!
Even within the entire territory of martial truth cultivation, there were few who could withstand such a devastating strike!
Yet at that moment, Yang Tian extended his palm again, repeating the same gesture, the same palm blade, unleashing the same Black New Moon directly towards the Azure Dragon Sword Sect.
Crack!
This time, the two attacks did not cancel each other out like before.
The instant the Black New Moon collided with the Sword Qi, the Sword Qi shattered instantly, while the Black New Moon, cutting through under immense pressure, directly slashed towards the Azure Dragon Sword Master.
"This... this is impossible!"
Witnessing Yang Tian not only shatter the Azure Dragon Sword Sect’s sword again but also retain enough force to counter-attack, a look of sheer shock overtook the Azure Dragon Sword Sect’s demeanor.
The always-proud Lu Yunsheng finally lowered his guard, staring intently at the Black New Moon while gasping audibly.
The scene now unfolding in front of his eyes made it clear—Yang Tian’s palm technique was vastly superior to the Azure Dragon Sword Sect in sheer might.
Otherwise, how could he shatter the move so aggressively while still seizing the opportunity to launch a counterstrike?
Faced with the Black New Moon slashing toward him, the Azure Dragon Sword Master’s expression froze, turning as cold as ice!
As the Vice Emperor of the Jianling Sect, reigning over Xiu Town with terrifying prestige, he had already swung his sword twice. Not only had he failed to harm Yang Tian, but he had been countered instead. How could he save face?
Thus, it was seen that the Azure Dragon Sword Master, displaying a single-handed salute, summoned the Dragon Head Sword into his hand and unsheathed the blade decisively!
Swish!
A chilling light emanated from the Dragon Head Sword. The immense Black New Moon disintegrated under its luminance.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon Swordsman’s movements were seamless, weaving an array of enigmatic sword techniques.
"This is the Dragon Song Sword, the finest technique of the Azure Dragon Sword Sect!"
When Lu Yunsheng saw the emergence of the sword seal, he was so astonished that he cried out.
"The absolute Immortal blade of the Dragon Song Sword?!"
As the words left his mouth, a flicker of cunning flashed in the eyes of the two fairies, Biyue and Yaoyue.
On the other side, Lin Shu was utterly dumbfounded.
Originally, she was already astounded that Yang Tian managed to fend off the two initial sword techniques of the Azure Dragon Sword Sect, but she never imagined that he would force the Azure Dragon Sword Sect into using this advanced sword technique!
You must understand, the Dragon Shadow Residence’s First Sword is without a doubt the most formidable sword technique of Zongjian Ridge. The reason the Azure Dragon Sword Master commands such reverence from Heavenly Sword Masters largely lies in the Dragon Shadow’s First Sword. In the days of yore, within the realm of Xiu Zhen, countless mighty warriors fell prey to it.
Thus, Lin Shu immediately sighed, "The Azure Dragon Sword Sect is finally being serious! Yang Tian, though you showcased considerable strength in the previous two rounds, under the solemn respect of the Azure Dragon Sword Master, how much of a chance do you have left?"
Roar!
At the same time, as everyone recognized the Azure Dragon Sword Master’s shift in intent, they saw his expression as cold as frost. With the Dragon Head Sword firmly in hand, he ceased his probing techniques and directly pointed the blade at Yang Tian. Accompanied by the resonating sound of a Dragon Flute, the sword pierced forward!
Bang!
With just one strike, the Dragon Head Sword tore open a spatial rift midair. The Sword Qi surrounding it radiated in supreme splendor, pushing decisively toward Yang Tian.
Yang Tian glanced at the sword, his brows slightly furrowing. He immediately retreated.
Yet, in that instant, an icy sneer escaped the Azure Dragon Sword Master’s lips. The Dragon Head Sword detached from his hands like a guided missile, relentlessly pursuing Yang Tian in his retreat and stabbing forth with even greater speed.
The pinnacle of Sword Art!
Once upon a time, Su Yi had ascended the peak of Mount Everest, wielding the secrets of Zongjian Ridge!
But now that same technique was demonstrated in the hands of the Azure Dragon Sword Sect, far faster and more powerful!
Compared to the Azure Dragon Sword Sect’s performance, Su Yi’s swordsmanship was nothing more than child’s play.
It could be said that the moment this ultimate sword art emerged, Yang Tian no longer had any room to evade.
Ah!
Lu Yunsheng, witnessing the majestic display of the Dragon Song Sword, unsheathed his blade as well, his movements infused with vitality.
Though Lu Yunsheng’s prowess was noticeably less refined than the Azure Dragon Sword Master’s, the power of the Azure Dragon Sword was so immense that the Dragon’s Song Sword could indeed be dubbed the absolute Immortal blade.
Ultimately, its presence transcended differing realms—be it on Earth, in the Kingdom of Truth, or any other place!
"You’ve got the name all wrong. There’s no mistake in its nickname!"
Renowned for being a fearsome swordsman, Lu Yunsheng had his own unique characteristics. Though his skill was not as polished as the Azure Dragon Sword, its sword essence was astoundingly strong!
Each time the blade was drawn with intent, it left onlookers trembling, their skin prickling with goosebumps!
"Before descending into the Lower Realm, I thought none here were worthy of mention. I never expected there would be such a monster among you!"
Lu Yunsheng, gripping his sword, stared at Yang Tian, who continued to face down the Azure Dragon Sword Sect. He let out a cold laugh.
In the past, when he paid homage at the Divine Sword Sect, countless challengers were summoned in a manner similar to this.
But in the end, they were all slain by him!
In time, those Evil Spirits were swept away in the expansive river of history. Only Lu Yunsheng remained, rising from an insignificant swordsman to become a revered elder of the Chenjian Sect, earning the moniker "Jinghong Treasure Sword"!
However, Lu Yunsheng himself disfavored the title of Jinghong Sword. He preferred to be known as the Demon Slayer.
The one who specialized in killing those pompous and evil adversaries!
Thus, Lu Yunsheng unsheathed his treasure blade, transforming the sword directly into a dragon that charged toward Yang Tian. This was the same sword technique passed down from the Divine Sword Sect to wield a Dragon Sword.
Yet, compared to Ouyang Xu’s original rendition, Lu Yunsheng’s dragon incarnation was merely a shadow left by history. Stretching miles long and bursting across the heavens, it morphed into a celestial figure of the Dragon God!
More notably, the dragon’s razor-sharp teeth and four claws radiated a blinding brilliance. This radiance felt utterly menacing!
"The Jiuyao Love Sword!"
Seeing the transformation of Lu Yunsheng’s blade into a dragon, Lin Shu, a knowledgeable and erudite woman, cried out in alarm.
On the opposite side, Lin Zhiruo, hearing this, asked curiously, "Lin Shu, what is this sword you just mentioned?"
"It’s the Jiuyao Love Sword. I once heard from a master that this sword doesn’t belong to the Divine Sword Sect but originated with Lu Shibo. He killed a young and gifted martial artist two hundred years ago—someone akin to Yang Tian but even more malevolent—and claimed his Magic Weapon!"
Lin Shu explained with a mixture of fear and reverence, "It’s said that for one to master this sword, they must seize it from its wielder during combat. Only then can its power be subdued."
"Its force is unparalleled. Whenever it’s brandished, lives are invariably lost. It can be considered a true ultimate weapon that never returns to its scabbard without tasting blood. What’s more, the Jiuyao Love Sword is a supreme-tier Magic Treasure!"
"A supreme Magic Weapon? How is that possible?"
Lin Zhi’s face was overtaken by disbelief upon hearing these words.
After all, how many supreme-tier Magic Weapons could possibly exist within the entire domain of truth cultivation?
