Chapter 72 – Sky-Slicing Sword Draw! Defeating the Sword Saint With One Sword!
Chapter 72 – Sky-Slicing Sword Draw! Defeating the Sword Saint With One Sword!
The overwhelming Sword Intent dissipated like thin snow melting in early spring.
Qin Yang stood in his black robe before Li Zixuan, effortlessly dispersing the pressing Sword Intent around them with his bare hands.
“Excellent, excellent! You’ve finally come, Jianghai Sword God.”
Yuwen Xuan hovered high above, looking down at the scene with blazing excitement in his eyes, firmly locking onto Qin Yang’s presence.
He had crossed countless mountains and rivers to reach Jianghai solely for this battle with the Sword God.
Now half his wish was fulfilled.
The real highlight was the upcoming fight, and before it began, he would never let the Jianghai Sword God out of his sight!
“Hmph, attacking a young girl—such behavior is unworthy of a Sword Saint.”
Qin Yang looked up at Yuwen Xuan, his words carrying a hint of concealed anger.
What kind of bullshit Sword Saint was this?
So devoid of martial virtue!
He wouldn’t even spare someone like Li Zixuan, who was only in the Acquired Realm.
If Qin Yang had arrived a moment later, she would already be dead by his sword.
And without Li Zixuan…
How would he ever reap the System’s rewards again!?
“Ha! Curse all you want, old man here doesn’t care. Infamy is but a passing cloud.”
Hearing this, Yuwen Xuan spread his arms and laughed heartily. “When one dies, the light goes out. A hundred years from now, everyone will depart this world. Only I, single-mindedly pursuing the Sword Dao, can achieve the pinnacle of martial arts!”
His voice boomed as he spoke.
The sound echoed through the canyon cliffs, traveling thousands of miles.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Distant helicopters circled overhead, their telephoto lenses focused on the canyon, broadcasting the exchange live. Instantly, it spread widely across the internet.
Hearing Yuwen Xuan’s declaration of his path, the audience was astounded, and some even admired his determination.
“Setting aside the old man’s madness… just having such great perseverance and resolve means his future achievements will be limitless.”
“Devoted solely to the Sword Dao, but alas, he’s taken the wrong path!”
“Who cares about Sword Dao or not? The Jianghai Sword God is finally here! Fight, fight! I want to see rivers of blood!”
……
Countless comments flooded the live stream, quickly filling the entire screen.
“Achieving the great path a hundred years from now?”
Below, Qin Yang listened to Yuwen Xuan’s mad ravings, shook his head, and finally understood the man’s nature.
Just like Huyan Jian.
Both were the type who wouldn’t survive without madness.
No wonder he would nurture the future ‘Sword Demon’…
However.
Five hundred years from now.
You’ll be nothing but a handful of dust too, so who’s to laugh at whom?
“Teacher.”
At that moment, Li Zixuan slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Qin Yang shielding her, she was overwhelmed with emotion.
But soon, the sight of the destroyed Sword Valley around her dampened her spirits. “I’m sorry, Teacher. Everything is ruined… I… I failed to protect your Sword Valley…”
“It’s alright, disciple. As long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters.”
Qin Yang smiled at Li Zixuan, understanding her attachment to the place, and comforted her gently. “If we preserve the person but lose the land, both person and land can be regained. If we preserve the land but lose the person, both are lost forever.
The Sword Valley can be rebuilt, but a disciple as devoted as you—I doubt I’ll find another like you in the future.”
As his soothing words faded,
Li Zixuan’s heart skipped a beat, and ripples stirred in her eyes.
So I’m this important in my teacher’s heart?
The thought lingered.Li Zixuan felt uplifted, but the current situation was critical.
Staying here would only make her a hindrance and a burden to her teacher.
With this thought, she sensibly said to Qin Yang, “Teacher, please be careful. This disciple will take her leave now.”
“Mm.”
Qin Yang nodded slightly.
When immortals fight, mortals suffer.
Grandmaster-level battles like theirs were literally earth-shattering in scale. Star Warriors in the Acquired Realm would die instantly upon contact – extremely dangerous!
Soon.
Both disciples had departed.
The canyon was silent and deep.
Yuwen Xuan hovered high in the sky while Qin Yang stood low on the ground. A chilling killing intent spread outward until it engulfed the entire Sword Valley.
“Since that’s the case, let’s draw swords then.”
Qin Yang’s expression remained calm, not intending to waste more words.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Hum!
A brilliant purple light shot up to startle the heavens. The Ziwei Divine Sword instantly appeared in his hand, its radiant glow filling the sky as it elicited clear sword chimes, brimming with ancient charm.
“Fine sword!”
Yuwen Xuan above couldn’t help but praise upon seeing this.
Divine weapons possess spirituality. He had searched for half his life without ever encountering such a divine artifact, and now he had finally witnessed one.
“Do you plan to stay on the ground and not come up to fight me?” Yuwen Xuan frowned slightly.
Their current positions were unequal.
Even if he won, it would be an unfair victory.
What he sought was an exhilarating battle, not a constrained contest!
“Unnecessary. I’m pressed for time. One sword strike will decide the outcome.”
Having said this.
Qin Yang slightly bent his knees, turned sideways, arched his back, and placed his hand on Ziwei’s hilt, preparing to draw the sword.
Crack!
His aura turned inward, his Sword Intent silent and imperceptible, condensing into substance that spread around him.
The rock layer beneath his feet couldn’t withstand the pressure, gradually cracking and disintegrating as his body sank downward. From the outside, it appeared as if he was sinking into the earth…
Suppressed, silent.
“Grandmaster-level Sword Intent!”
Seeing this scene, Yuwen Xuan’s expression turned grave as he began to mobilize his own Star Power fluctuations, unleashing the perfected realm of Myriad Swords Return.
The next moment.
Majestic Sword Intent swept through the entire Sword Valley, with thousands of Sword Qi flying about, encircling the valley as if countless swordsmen were battling within.
Overwhelming killing intent surged upward, stirring sand and dust to blot out the sky, shocking like black clouds pressing down on the realm.
Outside the valley, approaching helicopters swayed uncontrollably in the turbulent air currents. Pilots struggled with control sticks, fighting to stabilize their aircraft and prevent crashes in the chaos.
Through shaking lenses, viewers in the official live stream were dumbfounded, watching with scalp-tingling awe.
They had thought Huyan Jian’s use of Myriad Swords Return that day had reached perfection.
But now it appeared.
He hadn’t even come close to mastering it?!
Absurd!
Meanwhile, viewers in the live stream couldn’t understand Qin Yang’s side.
At this moment, Qin Yang’s feet were embedded in the rocky ground, kneeling in a sword-drawing posture, silent and unmoving as if time had frozen around him.
Creating an extremely stark contrast with Yuwen Xuan.
Laymen watch the excitement, experts discern the essence.
In the live stream, some Star Warriors specializing in Sword Dao recognized the profundity within.
At this moment.
Yuwen Xuan and Qin Yang’s techniques stood in direct opposition, representing the extremes of motion and stillness respectively.
Myriad Swords Return pursued the ultimate meaning of motion, gathering tens of thousands of Sword Qi from the mortal world to pay homage and return to unity.
While Qin Yang’s Sword Dao embraced emptiness and maintained stillness, seeking perfection in a single line.
In comparison between the two.It was evident that Qin Yang was more attuned to the Sword Dao than Yuwen Xuan!
Buzz… Buzz… Buzz!
As their longswords resonated in unison,
Yuwen Xuan and Qin Yang seemed to share a telepathic connection, moving simultaneously.
In the next moment,
Yuwen Xuan raised two fingers.
Countless strands of Sword Qi converged into a roaring river, swelling into a vast ocean in an instant, crashing down toward Qin Yang on the ground like an inverted sea pouring from the heavens.
Nowhere to hide, no path to retreat!
Qin Yang gazed up at the descending sea of swords, tightened his grip on the hilt, and with explosive force, drew his sword to challenge the overwhelming power from below.
Clang!
As Ziwei left its scabbard, a dazzling and exquisite sword light erupted, leveling the dust on the ground and causing the void to crack and shatter!
On the night of my eighteenth birthday, I betrayed my family.
