Yang Ying was incredibly beautiful, and her Sword Dance elevated this beauty to its absolute peak. As her Sword Qi unfurled, a magnificent White Phoenix materialized.
From start to finish, Wang ng hadn’t made a single move to resist, not even a futile one.
This solitary Sword Dance felt lonely. Yang Ying sighed inwardly. ’Perhaps I expected too much. If this is the extent of Wang ng’s strength, I didn’t need to use Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens at all. I’ll just consider this a repaynt for his help.’
The Life Mark Combination was complete, and Elental Qi erupted with torrential force. This was the true essence of a Life Mark Combination: the unique application of integrated Skill Techniques born from the combination, a power that far surpassed Elental Power itself.
A clear, piercing cry tore through the heavens. From her position in the air, Yang Ying slashed down with her sword.
—Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens!
The entire Magic Arena was enveloped by Yang Ying’s Sword Power. The second-ranked cultivator on the individual leaderboard truly lived up to her reputation. This slash was nothing short of flawless—her experience, Skill Technique, Elental Power, and even her timing were all impeccable, just like Yang Ying herself.
It was just a pity... her opponent was a bit too weak. A re Undying Golden Body would soon be shattered.
Defense has its limits, but offense is boundless.
The path of the Sword Cultivator was the one true way. There was only the Sword!
Torrential Sword Qi completely enveloped Wang ng. A so-called Secret Sword was a far more complex Life Mark Combination than what produced ordinary Sword Qi or even Chain Sword Qi, and its power was on a completely different level.
The corporeal White Phoenix pounced toward Wang ng. Unlike the scattered Fire Talismans of a Technique Cultivator that Wang ng could redirect, this type of Sword Qi was impossible to reverse and turn against its master. Trying to pull a clever trick now would be suicide.
As Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens descended, a piercing light flared in Wang ng’s eyes.
BOOM...
In that split second, instead of dodging, Wang ng slamd a fist into the ground, blasting out a deep, slanted crater, and swiftly leaped inside.
Mingren couldn’t hide his shock. After observing Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens, that was the only counter he had been able to co up with.
Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens was a Sword-Stealing Skill. Just as the White Phoenix took form, its dive began at a specific angle. Following that trajectory would lead to a blind spot.
This required incredible Insight and judgnt, not to ntion the ability to react in an instant.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...
At that mont, a serious expression appeared on Yang Ying’s face as she hovered in the air, but her eyes shone with delight.
She knew it was the only opening, however slim. It was difficult, incredibly so, but deep down, she had hoped Wang ng would find it. And he actually had, the very first ti he’d witnessed the complete version of Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens.
’But... she would still be the one to win!’
The impact of Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens made the very ground shake. The aftershock was unavoidable, but the residual energy alone wasn’t enough to defeat Wang ng outright.
But then, the Flying Phoenix Sword pulsed, and the ground suddenly erupted... A gigantic Light Array materialized.
Everyone was dumbstruck. ’Is that... a Sword Array???’
Everyone had gotten one thing wrong. Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens and Green Fall Yellow Springs weren’t one technique, but two!
The true killing blow lay in the final part: Green Fall Yellow Springs!
The true purpose of Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens was to corner the opponent and force them to the ground!
The Sword Array erupted with ferocious power, creating a complete lockdown. The power of Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens fused into it, snapping shut like a lock and forming a sealed vortex of slaughterous Sword Qi. Both powers intertwined and detonated at once.
This was the true Green Fall Yellow Springs Sword, heralded by the Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens!
The mont you touched the ground, your fate was sealed. This was the path to the Yellow Springs.
It was over.
This was what made Sword Cultivators truly terrifying. Their only enemy was themselves; self-transcendence was their guiding principle.
Yang Ying landed lightly. This proved it: her Sword Technique had indeed reached perfection. Unless an opponent possessed the power to utterly suppress her, the mont she unleashed it, the fight was over.
And from what she had encountered so far, there was likely no one among the Third Generation Disciples capable of completely suppressing her.
’Wang ng was not bad; at least he wasn’t a disappointnt.’ And yet... a trace of pity lingered in Yang Ying’s heart.
Everyone was stunned by Yang Ying’s terrifying technique, which was as inescapable as a Heaven and Earth Net.
Qiao Qian finally understood the gap between them. He could also unleash powerful Sword Qi with his Hundred Spirits Sword, but his Sword Qi completely lacked any real Skill Technique. It was a difference in cultivation realms, and by no ans a small one.
The gap didn’t seem this large before. It had only been a few years, but the disparity was truly growing wider and wider.
This was the way of Cultivators. The more ti passed, the more differences in talent created a staggering gap—one that even hard work couldn’t bridge. You could work hard, but so could your opponent; that was sothing they could control.
The disciples of Thunderlight Hall were truly terrified. They stared, dumbfounded, at the center of the arena. The piercing power of that Sword Qi was plain to see. ’Can the Undying Golden Body withstand that?’
Yang Ying glanced at Elder Jing Yanyun by the side of the arena and gave a faint smile. ’My Sword Technique was executed perfectly. With the power of his Undying Golden Body, Wang ng surely won’t die. He’ll be injured, at most, but his combat effectiveness will be completely shattered. I wouldn’t use such a fatal technique on a typical opponent.’
Elder Jing Yanyun, however, just shook her head slightly, her expression incredibly grave.
An uproar erupted from behind her. Yang Ying spun around in an instant. ...It was Wang ng!
Wang ng had indeed been torn to shreds by the Sword Array’s vortex, and his Undying Golden Body had faded, but he... was fine!
Wang ng... Mighty!
"Miiiiighty~~~~~~~!"
The disciples of Thunderlight Hall erupted in a furious roar. It was instinct by now. After one hall battle after another, they had grown used to their hearts pounding, used to holding their breath and waiting for this exact mont to arrive.
A miracle!
Mingren and Liangyuan exchanged a look across the arena, both seeing the astonishnt in the other’s eyes. That Sword Technique was supposed to be unstoppable. You either had to snuff it out in its infancy or et it head-on with an attack of your own. A purely defensive, barely-ford Twenty-Layer Undying Golden Body was not enough.
The Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens Green Fall Yellow Springs Sword Technique was, in fact, considered a higher-level and more difficult technique to master than the Body Cultivator’s Undying Golden Body.
"This... is impossible!" Yang Ying couldn’t hide her astonishnt. Or perhaps, when facing Wang ng, she didn’t feel the need to hide it at all.
For many, it was the first ti they had seen such an expression on Yang Ying’s face—a look of girlish disbelief mingled with a hint of delighted surprise.
Wang ng was clearly in bad shape, but even that couldn’t wipe the confident smile from his face. When it appeared at a mont like this, it had a strangely captivating quality.
Wang ng held up his hand, making a pinching gesture with his thumb and index finger. "You were off by just a little bit, haha."
It seed there was still a tiny seam between the Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens and the Green Fall Yellow Springs Sword techniques.
"Did you see that?" Qiao Qian asked, swallowing his pride for a change. He felt Jia Shidao was a bit stronger than him.
Jia Shidao shrugged helplessly, not putting on any airs. "Damn, watching these two fight makes want to switch careers. Her Sword Technique is nearly perfect, and her Control Power is exquisite. Shit, that Wang ng is so kind of monster. He’s so damn slippery, even that couldn’t finish him off!"
’That terrifying vortex of Sword Qi in the Sword Array was like a literal at grinder. The Undying Golden Body isn’t truly undying—the nas are always exaggerated. If a true Undying Body existed, shit, Body Cultivators would have conquered the world ages ago.’
Wang ng looked battered, but his spirits were excellent.
A flash of light, and a sword materialized in Wang ng’s hand. It was the Broken Heaven Edge, unseen for a long, long ti!
Yang Ying’s gaze sharpened. ’So that’s Wang ng’s... sword!’
It seed no one had ever truly seen Wang ng use his sword in earnest!
The Broken Heaven Edge had appeared before, but he had never made a true move with it.
"I rember Wang ng is a Sword Cultivator, right?"
"I think so!"
It wasn’t just the outsiders; even the disciples of Thunderlight Hall seed to have forgotten that Wang ng was a Sword Cultivator. He had never intended to be anything else. His other specializations were just things he dabbled in.
A Sword Cultivator... What kind of Sword Cultivator was Wang ng?
Mingren and the Lingyin Four Tigers nodded at one another. It was finally ti. His previous opponents had been far too weak, so much so that Wang ng hadn’t needed to exert himself in the slightest. But Yang Ying was no weakling. She was more than enough to force him to play his trump card.
It wasn’t just Mingren; Liangyuan was also desperate to know if the legend of the man who defeated Li Tianyi with a Sword Technique was true or not!
Yang Ying bit her lip lightly. ’So this guy... he’s only getting serious now? Does he look down on that much?’
"It seems Brother Wang is quite stingy, only willing to bring out his hidden skills now!"
Yang Ying couldn’t help but feel a little sour.
Wang ng smiled faintly and gently stroked the Broken Heaven Edge. "It is I who am lacking. I still don’t fully grasp the true aning of the sword, so I dared not act rashly. Your Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens and Green Fall Yellow Springs Sword Technique was truly a beautiful sight to behold. Now, allow to offer you a gift with what you have just shown ."
The entire arena was in an uproar. What did he an by that???
’Offer a gift with what she showed him???’
Could it be...???
SWISH... The Flying Phoenix Sword rose.
In perfect opposition, the Broken Heaven Edge rose to et it!
The exact sa opening stance! ’He’s insane! Absolutely insane! What is Wang ng trying to do???’
