Chapter 180 Clash

The moment the two collided, the ice sword paused for only an instant, and then…

Bang bang bang bang bang!!

The five parallel ice swords released by [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng were almost simultaneously shattered directly by Fang Yue's Empty Ice Sword Technique!

And this time, the ice sword in Fang Yue's hand… remained perfectly intact!

"How can this be?!"

[Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng looked at Fang Yue in disbelief.

Although the five parallel sword energies just now didn't reach the level of him personally wielding a sword, in terms of power, they were more than five times stronger than the finger sword energy from before!

But this time, they were shattered head-on by Fang Yue!

"You brat… what sword technique were you using just now! Why did I simultaneously sense so many chaotic sword techniques from you at that instant! It was as if those sword techniques were overlapping, being used to execute the same sword move!"

Although [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng's character might not be anything to write home about, his attainments in the sword dao were indeed worthy of being called a grandmaster.

He had actually guessed part of the secret of Fang Yue's Empty Ice Sword Technique in one go.

And after [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng carefully recalled it, his brows furrowed even deeper, and his expression became strange.

Because, he discovered something.

That was, the massive, chaotic sword technique aura that Fang Yue had just unleashed seemed to be… all the sword techniques that his disciple Tian Ruichi knew!

Could it be that this guy… this guy knew Tian Ruichi's secret!

The [Wood Soul Sword Embryo] was his forbidden fruit, and no one was allowed to touch it!

[Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng's expression finally changed, adopting a serious attitude.

"I originally thought of just casually dealing with you, but now it seems that it's necessary to completely obliterate your soul, so that I can be at ease!"

While speaking, [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng actually, for the first time, slowly extended his right hand and grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist!

"Feel honored, because, you have the opportunity… to witness the might of the [Heavenly Sword]!"

Almost at the instant [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng's right hand grasped the sword hilt.

His entire aura, his presence, all changed instantly.

Like a sharp sword being unsheathed, like a sharp edge being fully exposed!

At that instant, Fang Yue was suppressed by that presence, experiencing a moment of distraction, feeling as if the entire world had lost its color, and only the [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng in front of him remained between heaven and earth.

The sword slowly left its sheath.

The sizzling sound of the sword blade rubbing against the scabbard carried a deterrent sword intent, causing one's mind to tremble.

When the [Heavenly Sword] was completely drawn from its scabbard, Fang Yue seemed to see an illusion, as if a huge, invisible sword intent had transformed into an illusory sword body, soaring into the sky, breaking through the clouds, standing above them, and overlooking all living beings!

When Fang Yue came back to his senses, he realized that everything just now was just an illusion.

It was the terrifying sword intent that had directly affected his mind, creating some kind of illusion.

Looking at the Heavenly Sword again.

The sword was still that sword, but that terrifying sword intent had disappeared without a trace.

But Fang Yue understood that the terrifying sword intent was still there, but it had been completely contained, residing within the sword blade!

If he were to be killed by this sword… even [Time Reversal] would probably be difficult to reverse!

[Nonsense! With me here, there's nothing that can't be reversed!]

[This parchment master, who just finished eating gemstones, is super strong!! Huhu!]

Fang Yue: …

Although he really wanted to say a few words to the parchment, considering that he would need to use the parchment's power later to fight against [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng, Fang Yue couldn't help but suppress his thoughts.

[That's right! Don't say it out loud! The great and noble parchment master likes to hear nice things! I suggest you do this from now on, praise the great and noble parchment master more, and that's it! Huhu!]

…This guy is really pushing his luck!

Ignoring the parchment, Fang Yue suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and looked at [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng in front of him with a solemn expression.

Strangely, [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng seemed to be communicating with the Heavenly Sword.

"It's been a long time since I've drawn my sword… unfortunately, this time's opponent can't satisfy you. But you can be patient, Heavenly Sword. I've already found a suitable sword-feeding person. That Supreme Elder of the Extreme Ice Sect will definitely be to your liking!"

Buzz buzz!

As if understanding human speech, the Heavenly Sword actually vibrated twice, responding to [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng's words.

Only then did Fang Yue notice that he had been too preoccupied with sensing the Heavenly Sword's power and hadn't realized… that the Heavenly Sword's aura had a strange feeling!

This aura was different from ordinary ominous objects.

How should he put it? In Fang Yue's perception, the Heavenly Sword's aura was closer to a living anomaly than an ominous object!

Even if he closed his eyes and simply used his aura to sense it, he would feel that what [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng was holding in his hand was not a sword, but an anomaly!

This was different from the parchment.

Although the parchment was special and bizarre, it still belonged to the category of ominous objects.

But the thing in front of him was really difficult to define as either an anomaly or an ominous object.

[Don't you dare compare the great and noble parchment master to that thing!]

[The great and noble parchment master is unique! The strongest!!]

Be quiet! I'm about to engage in a life-and-death battle here. You should also be serious and be ready to support me at any time.

[Hmph hmph! Leave your back to this paper! Huhu! No joke, I'm super strong right now!]

Fang Yue still wanted to correct the parchment's casual attitude, but he saw [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng, already carrying the Heavenly Sword, walking towards him!

"Night Watchman, I have to admit that your aptitude is above my stupid disciple's, but it's a pity that you don't cherish it yourself. I'll give you one last chance, submit to me, or… die!"

Hearing these words, Fang Yue couldn't help but smile, grinning!

As his smile appeared, Fang Yue also began to step forward, fearlessly walking towards [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng!

"I already know about the first stage of perception. Now it's time to test the difference in the second stage!"

A look of surprise suddenly flashed in [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng's eyes.

Because as Fang Yue walked towards him, Fang Yue's eyes were rapidly dyed pitch-black at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading to the whites of his eyes, dyeing his entire eyes black!

At the same time, a black wheel slowly rose behind Fang Yue, corresponding to the black small disc above his head.

And with the appearance of the black wheel, the aura on Fang Yue's body also changed from an ordinary human-level martial artist's aura to a profound and unpredictable feeling. Even with [Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng's realm, he couldn't detect Fang Yue's current strength.

It was as if all of Fang Yue's information was suddenly wrapped in a thick layer of mist, and only by risking himself could he know the truth.

"This is?!"

[Heavenly Sword] Jian Wufeng's pupils shrank, he stopped walking, and his expression turned gloomy.

"So you're a test subject of the Phoenix Organization, a failed product of [Pseudo Ominous Spirit Root]. I was wondering where you got such talent, where you got such confidence, daring to clamor against me with this level of strength."
