Seeing his Thunder Spell broken and Li Yi watching from the side, Senior Brother Kong You’s eyes flashed with solemnity.
He imdiately changed his Spell, and the blue light from the pendant on his chest suddenly shifted.
He brought his two fingers together in front of his chest.
"Ren character..."
"Thousand Blades Rain!"
The thunderclouds in the sky instantly condensed countless fine water blades, which poured down like a torrential rain!
Song Yan frowned slightly.
The black-robed youth in the distance gave him a very unusual feeling; perhaps temporarily avoiding battle at this mont would be the choice of a "smart person."
Unfortunately, Song Yan only wanted to compete now.
He wanted to win! And... he wanted to keep winning!
Temporarily avoid the sharp edge?
As a Sword Cultivator, whose sharp edge would he avoid?!
Constantly avoiding battle would only deplete his spirit; what needed to be done now was to end it quickly!
He made a decisive move, and from his sword box, a black and white Flying Sword finally shot out rapidly.
At the sa ti, beneath the Zhen Dao Sword Mansion, Sword Qi poured out, and Sleeve Green Snake erupted suddenly.
Sword Qi, like a tide, actually followed that black and white Flying Sword, condensing upon it.
Song Yan pointed his sword finger, sweeping it from afar, and softly uttered,
"Severing Tide."
The black and white Flying Sword was as fast as lightning, drawing an arc in the air.
Buzz—
The green Sword Qi was flung out by the black and white Flying Sword as if ink had been spilled!
To everyone’s astonishnt, the Sword Qi surged, like a fierce wind in a thick fog.
In an instant, it annihilated the heavy rain and cut through the thunderclouds gathered in the sky.
The dense thunder and water Spiritual Qi that Senior Brother Kong You had conjured scattered like weathered pottery... blown away by this Sword Qi.
"..."
This killing formation in the rain was truly far inferior to Senior Cong Yuzhen’s Guest-Retaining Rain.
Such a thought inexplicably popped into Song Yan’s mind.
At this mont, whether it was the Cultivators in the Blessed Realm or the onlookers outside the realm, all fell into a brief silence.
Outside the realm, Li Qingfeng was receiving treatnt from several other Disciples.
He watched the battle in a daze.
"..."
Even Li Yi showed a hint of surprise.
But only for a mont, then he beca happy again. His beaming expression was even more intense than before.
At this mont, his desire to have a decisive battle with Song Yan reached its peak.
This sword strike could almost be called the ultimate expression of Song Yan’s current mastery over Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi Spell of Sleeve Green Snake had many variations, but with his current cultivation and attainnts in the Dao of the Sword, he was still far from being able to condense a single Sword Qi that could destroy the opponent’s rain blade Spell.
However, fortunately, both the Sword Planting Technique and the Essentials of Swordsmanship also recorded many thods for utilizing Sword Qi.
Thus, the thod of combining his Lifebound Flying Sword with the Sword Qi of Sleeve Green Snake could be attempted.
He admitted that there was also a hint of imitation of the Sect Master’s magnificent sword strike that cleared the clouds on the Entrance Plaza that day.
It was rely a clumsy imitation by a Qi Refining Realm "ant" of a Golden Core Realm Grand Cultivator.
Nevertheless, this sword strike indeed displayed the power it deserved.
It almost made Senior Brother Kong You lose the will to fight head-on.
"How is this possible..."
He was montarily dazed.
Is this still the strength a Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level Cultivator can possess?... The most crucial question is, how many more tis can he unleash such swordsmanship?
Senior Brother Kong You did not know.
The struggle with Sword Cultivators has always been this way, from ancient tis to the present.
Most Cultivators, when fighting Sword Cultivators and facing their Sword Dao techniques, always feel that their power is astonishing and they cannot resist it.
Thus, from the very beginning, their courageous spirit for a head-on confrontation diminishes sowhat.
They begin to consider how to defend against the attacks, how to evade the Flying Sword, and how to have more room to maneuver in the battle.
Little did they know, this invisibly allowed the Sword Cultivator to act more freely.
The Unmoored Boat, glowing with black and white light, hung beside Song Yan.
He did not stop; with a flick of his sword finger, the Flying Sword shot out.
Senior Brother Kong You suddenly snapped back to attention, spread his hands, and pushed them outwards.
A blue Spiritual Light suddenly lit up in his palms, and a heavy water-elental Spiritual Qi surrounded him.
Completely different from the giant water curtain he had previously displayed on the Sword Debate Platform, this water-elental Spiritual Qi condensed into a spherical cocoon.
The rapidly flowing water on the surface of the cocoon revealed the surging water-elental Spiritual Qi within.
"This Song Yan’s Sword Qi is already extrely sharp. If I want to win, I’m afraid I can only use softness to overco hardness."
Senior Brother Kong You pondered, the blue Spiritual Light in his palms still rapidly expanding, and the water cocoon quickly swelled and thickened.
He was a rational person. Although he knew the saying that there are always people better than you and that the Heavenly Dao is vast.
But he would never underestimate himself.
Within the Sect, there were very few Cultivators below Level 8 Qi Refining who could fight him to a draw.
Even if Song Yan was an unparalleled genius, what then?
His Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level cultivation was evident.
He absolutely could not unleash a second sword strike like the one just now!
His wisest choice now was to engage in a prolonged battle, waiting until the opponent’s Spiritual Qi was exhausted, making it difficult to condense Sword Qi, and even controlling his Flying Sword would beco a problem.
That he could defeat him... Senior Brother Kong You’s idea was not wrong.
Song Yan’s Zhen Dao Sword Mansion indeed had little Sword Qi left, making it impossible to unleash another powerful sword strike of that magnitude.
But he had misunderstood one thing.
That is, a Sword Cultivator’s entire skill lies in their Flying Sword.
It is not in the Sword Qi, after all.
Buzz—
The Flying Sword transford into a black and white Spiritual Light, piercing through the water curtain cocoon with almost no visible obstruction.
What?
Although Senior Brother Kong You’s expression remained normal, he was terrified in his heart.
The violent water flow did indeed slightly deviate the trajectory of the Unmoored Boat, which ant that the Flying Sword, which had not intended to seriously injure its opponent, did not harm Senior Brother Kong You.
In an instant, the water-elental Spiritual Qi completely dispersed, turning into a sky full of water mist.
Senior Brother Kong You’s pupils constricted, and the pendant on his chest suddenly flashed with a blue-purple light. He subconsciously tried to condense a bolt of lightning to protect himself.
He had trusted the defensive capabilities of the water cocoon Spell too much, so much so that at this mont, he hadn’t even condensed protective Spiritual Qi, wanting to save his Spiritual Qi to counter Song Yan.
However, Song Yan did not continue to act.
He slowly closed his eyes and actually sat cross-legged, as if the battle was over, now seizing every second to recover his state.
"?"
Just as Senior Brother Kong You was wondering, he saw the black and white Flying Sword fly back to Song Yan’s side.
On the hilt, swaying.
Hung a spirit-patterned jade token.
"Forty-seven."
His expression froze, and he slowly lowered his head; the spirit-patterned jade token at his waist had already disappeared.
He was speechless.
The Ancient Vine Forest was deathly silent.
Song Yan casually reached out and took the spirit-patterned jade token. With a flash of Spiritual Light, the number on it changed from sixty-nine.
"One hundred sixteen."
The Cultivators watching from a distance collectively fell silent.
Among them, so were shocked by the sharpness of the Flying Sword.
So had no idea what had happened.
And others were secretly speculating in their hearts.
Did Song Yan originally intend to seriously injure Senior Brother Kong You and accidentally take the token... or was the characteristic deviation of the water Spell also within Song Yan’s calculations?
This question seed obvious.
It was just sowhat unacceptable.
