CLANG!
A frigid Sword Aura suddenly erupted!
The Inner Qi Network around Xu Muying spun wildly. Her Sword Intent, icy and murderous, seed to want to tear everything apart as it slamd into Linghu Yu’s fist!
BOOM!
A colossal boom, like Celestial Thunder, suddenly reverberated in all directions!
The surrounding Cultivators whose Realms were lower than the Refining Acupoints Human Immortal felt their Five Viscera churn. Their eyes and eardrums throbbed with pain, and blood began to trickle out.
They couldn’t withstand even the aftershock.
"Quick, get back! We’ll die if we stay any longer!"
"This is terrifying! I feel like my Five Viscera are about to be shattered."
"Whew, so this is the power of the Celestial Human Realm... Female Knight Xu is too strong! She can actually face a Celestial Being head-on!"
The crowd of observing Righteous People all fled back into Wan’an City as fast as they could.
They could only watch from a great distance, dozens of miles away.
Even watching a duel between the strongest experts in the world up close had its requirents!
For ordinary Cultivators, even spectating was life-threatening.
In an instant, the only ones left outside Wan’an City were Wang Xiao, Xu Muying, and a handful of Refining Acupoints Human Immortals.
Wang Xiao’s figure flickered, and he too retreated several miles, quietly watching the duel between Xu Muying and Linghu Yu from afar.
From just one simple collision, the ground in a hundred-zhang radius had collapsed several feet and was torn asunder, revealing massive, python-like fissures.
BOOM!
Xu Muying’s Inner Qi erupted from her body. Behind her manifested a resplendent, sharp sword, radiating a chilling killing intent!
A blood-red sword mark appeared on her forehead.
Her eyes, once as still as an old well, gradually grew indifferent and heartless!
It was as if they could no longer hold a single shred of emotion, only the will to kill.
"The Heartless Sword... So this is the Heartless Sword! To think it could break my Destructive Divine Fist. You’ve got so skill, woman. But the stronger a woman is, the more deceitful she is! The more she deserves to die! DIE, DIE, DIE!"
Linghu Yu let out a crazed roar as a vigorous blood-red qi surged around him.
The next mont, his Forehead Mud Ball Palace began to radiate bursts of blood-red light.
An inexplicable power raged forth, seeming to fuse with his Inner Qi.
The surrounding blood-red qi grew even more crimson, pulsing with a cold, red glow.
Linghu Yu’s entire aura underwent a world-shaking transformation.
It was as if a single glance from him could kill from a distance!
"Muying, be careful! He’s using his True Qi!" Wang Xiao called out as a warning.
The Celestial Human Realm is where one achieves the Unity of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, transforming Inner Qi into True Qi!
The essence of True Qi is actually Inner Qi that has been fused with Spirit.
It carries the supre will of a Martial Artist!
Once it’s unleashed, any Martial Artist below the Celestial Human Realm will be crushed in an instant, unless their Spirit is also exceptionally condensed!
This is a qualitative transformation!
Fortunately, both Wang Xiao and Xu Muying had cultivated Spiritual Techniques, and their Spirit was beyond that of an ordinary Half-Step Celestial Human Realm expert.
Otherwise, they would have been utterly unable to withstand Linghu Yu’s terrifying True Qi.
"I was waiting for him to use his True Qi!"
Xu Muying’s aura beca utterly frigid, her entire being filled with a heartless intent.
Even the blood-red sword mark on her forehead grew more intensely crimson.
However, her eyes still held a subtle, profound emotion.
This was the ultimate principle of the Heartless Sword: ’The Way is heartless, yet it holds affection’!
Only by becoming heartless could one unleash the heartless sword to protect those for whom one has affection.
At this mont, Xu Muying finally took the last step and achieved complete mastery over the Heartless Sword.
This also ant that she was now worthy to draw the Celestial Sword on her back!
CLANG!
A brilliant Sword Aura illuminated the entire night sky!
A golden Sword Shadow, like a cot streaking against the current, suddenly appeared behind Xu Muying.
Xu Muying reached out and finally gripped the Celestial Sword, which had remained hidden in its Sword Scabbard for five years!
In that instant, her Spirit surged violently!
From her Forehead Mud Ball Palace, a brilliant gleam of light flashed and vanished.
This was the sign of breaking through the Heaven-Breaking Pass!
With the Celestial Sword in hand, Xu Muying felt the power of every past Sword Holder flowing into her.
She felt as though she could split Heaven and Earth with a single strike!
Without the slightest hesitation, the frigid, murderous Sword Shadow of the Heartless Sword behind her instantly rged into the Celestial Sword!
VMMMM! VMMMM! VMMMM!
The Celestial Sword humd and trembled. Phantoms of the past Sword Holders seed to materialize in that mont, all grasping the Celestial Sword together!
The heartless, frigid, and murderous Sword Shadow instantly split from one into two, two into four, and four into six. It expanded rapidly, growing dozens of zhang high, like a Celestial Pillar!
"Kill!"
Xu Muying uttered a single word.
VMMMM! VMMMM! VMMMM!
The Celestial Pillar-like Sword Shadow also ford into a heartless character for ’Kill’, completely surrounding Linghu Yu and crashing down to crush him.
The brilliant sword light nearly shredded all the blood-red mist surrounding Linghu Yu.
"Good, good, good! Only a display like this is worthy of my full power!"
Linghu Yu let out a maniacal laugh.
His flesh was being sliced apart by the endless Sword Qi, and thick blood flowed out.
However, he paid it no mind. Instead, he shattered the flowing blood, turning it into a bloody mist that enveloped him.
Looking at the ’Kill’ character ford by the Sword Shadow before him,
his forehead trembled unceasingly, and an illusory figure actually flew out from it.
This figure was both real and illusory. It looked identical to Linghu Yu, but lacked his madness!
It spread its arms, and the surrounding blood-red qi instantly converged, forming a blood-red sun.
This blood-red sun seed to transcend Ti and Space. Like a great wheel, it rolled forward, looking as if it would pulverize everything in its path!
Xu Muying’s Heartless Sword was incomparably fast, but before this blood-red sun, it seed to have frozen in place.
It was as if the two attacks were not even on the sa dinsional plane.
In a flash, cracks began to appear all over Xu Muying’s ’Kill’ sword, looking as if it would shatter at any mont!
’This is... Yin Spirit Shell Shedding! His Spirit has actually broken through to a new Realm!’ Wang Xiao’s pupils contracted violently.
He knew that the Celestial Human Realm was equivalent to a Tier Five Life in the Real World.
This stage was focused on developing one’s Spiritual Power.
In the Real World, the Spiritual Domain for a Tier Five Life is divided into nine layers.
Yin Spirit Shell Shedding was the Fourth Layer Spiritual Domain!
That madman, Linghu Yu, had actually broken through to the Fourth Layer with his Spirit at this very mont!
In this state, even with the Celestial Sword in hand and using the Heartless Sword, Xu Muying was absolutely no match for Linghu Yu.
At this thought, Wang Xiao’s figure moved like a clap of thunder and vanished from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was already beside Xu Muying.
"Dual Swords Unification! We’ll block him together!"
Wang Xiao’s forehead trembled as he condensed his Spirit to its absolute limit. A towering Buddha Sword manifested around him and fused entirely into Xu Muying’s ’Kill’ sword!
This was a technique the two had developed over five years, one that could overlap their Inner Qi and Sword Shadows to unleash power far greater than their own!
In an instant, after being empowered by Wang Xiao’s Buddha Sword, Xu Muying’s ’Kill’ sword erupted with a brilliant Sword Aura, barely managing to block Linghu Yu’s terrifying blood-red sun!
However, Wang Xiao knew that with their current strength, they wouldn’t be able to hold back the blood-red sun for long.
He looked at Xu Muying and said, "We can’t fight him as he is now. We have to go, quickly."
Xu Muying said calmly, "Don’t panic. My master is here."
The mont her voice fell, the surrounding temperature seed to drop by several degrees.
Imdiately after, a figure in a white dress tore through the pervasive blood-red mist, drifting in from the distance and arriving at the center of the battlefield in an instant.
A frigid light radiated from her forehead, and her voice was devoid of any emotion:
"Xu Muying, watch closely. This is how you use the Celestial Sword!"
