Chapter 196: Every Sword Is Invincible! Xu Fenglai Becomes the Tenth Disciple (Part 1)

Rumble! Rumble!

The explosion's shockwave wasn't too alarming.

Chen Ergou could withstand it.

However, the extreme heat that instantly burst forth made him wince, his scalp tingling, and he kept retreating.

"Not good! Not good at all!"

Startled, he immediately transmitted a message: "Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion, retreat immediately!"

Upon his command, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion immediately fled for their lives.

Seeing them run a considerable distance, Chen Ergou finally breathed a sigh of relief and retreated immediately himself.

In just this brief moment, his hair was burned off, and his entire body turned bright red!

As he retreated, the intense heat spread completely, melting more than half of the entire City Lord's Mansion, turning it into a pool of 'magma,' even the ground was continuously melting!

"This?"

Chen Ergou was stunned.

Was this the power of a single sword strike?

Was this the power of a single sword strike from a Sixth Stage cultivator?

Was this the power of a single sword strike from a Sixth Stage cultivator, and only the first sword?

I can't believe this!

Could a Sixth Stage withstand this strike?

Even a Seventh Stage would be shaken to the core, right?

If you didn't run fast enough, you would definitely die!

Even an Eighth Stage...

At this moment, Chen Ergou didn't pay attention to the devastation in the City Lord's Mansion. Instead, he looked toward the gradually dissipating explosion's center, probing with his divine sense to search for Sword Nine Huang's trail.

However...

His divine sense was burned by the intense heat!

"Damn!"

Chen Ergou was even more shocked.

It was at this moment that the explosion finally dissipated.

Sword Nine Huang appeared.

At this moment, he looked especially miserable... His entire body was hairless! His clothes were completely burned away, leaving only a tattered pair of pants covering the essential parts.

His entire body was covered in horrific burns from the intense heat, resembling a dried-up corpse after being burned by fire!

But he was still alive.

And for him, such injuries weren't too outlandish.

After all, he was an Eighth Stage Great Power; given some time, he would quickly recover.

And he still had the strength to fight.

"I..."

He opened his mouth and spat out a jet of black smoke.

Only then did he realize that his throat had been burned through.

Sword Nine Huang: "..."

He lived.

He even had the strength to instantly kill Old Huang.

But he also knew that he had lost.

This first sword, seemingly ordinary, but after its burst, its power was extremely heaven-defying.

The explosive power was one thing.

That terrifying heat was damn near lethal!

If he hadn't instantly utilized his Eighth Stage cultivation, but instead suppressed it and fought at Sixth Stage, he would have certainly been killed by this sword.

The strength of this sword was evident!

It was even stronger than his own Ninth Sword!

At Sixth Stage, he definitely couldn't withstand it!

So, didn't he lose?

And lose thoroughly.

Drawing on the essence of the elements, he quickly recovered while involuntarily exclaiming, "This... what kind of sword technique is this?"

"Even just the first sword is so astonishing?"

"Are you from the Moon Embrace Sect, could it be that you inherited the sword immortal's legacy?"

Not pointing out the flaws in the world?

Not showing off?

Not continuing to brag?

Old Huang inwardly smiled, but on the surface, he gently shook his head and said, "What sword immortal's legacy? I don't know."

"I only know that this is the sword path Master pointed out."

"Moreover, I really am not good at the sword path."

"As for the name of the sword technique... I think it should be called the Invincible Sword Technique."

"Invincible Sword Technique?!" Everyone was shocked.

What a grand name!

Who dares to call themselves invincible?

Who dares to claim they are unbeaten?

You named this set of sword techniques 'Invincible'?

But upon further thought, just the first sword was so powerful, calling it the Invincible Sword Technique didn't seem to have any flaws, at least none that he could point out.

He didn't have the qualification to criticize it either.

"Right, Invincible Sword Technique!"

Old Huang nodded, "Because in my imagination, every sword in this set must possess the power of invincibility!"

He was serious.

The Artificial Sun Sword has the power of invincibility, no problem, right?

This is the first sword!

As for the second sword... we'll see later!

If I can master the elements in the Immortal Martial System and create new invincible techniques, or learn new invincible techniques from Master, I can arrange it!

Each sword will be infused with an invincible technique.

Isn't this the Invincible Sword Technique?

Moreover, once I become familiar with it, I can even use the tenth sword in conjunction with the Artificial Sun Sword, or even the eleventh sword! Wouldn't that be even more invincible?

If not...

Then so be it!

Better to have quality over quantity!

Who says a set of sword techniques can only have one move?

Right?

At the same time, he also noticed some shortcomings.

"The greatest killing power of the Artificial Sun Fist is actually not the explosion, but the intense heat. However, the force generated by the explosion pushes the enemy away."

"The further away, the lower the temperature."

"Earlier, Sword Nine Huang forced himself not to retreat, for the sake of face."

"In a life-and-death battle, how could the opponent not retreat?"

"So... I need to find a way to prevent the opponent from retreating, or to avoid being pushed away by the explosive force."

"Perhaps, can I increase the gravity?"

"Speaking of gravity, I thought of the Chaotic Star Sea."

"I wonder, if I can condense the Artificial Sun to the size of a small star, will it have gravity, attracting the enemy?"

"If so, that would be truly marvelous!"

"..."

He was pondering to himself.

Sword Nine Huang, Chen Ergou, Xu Fenglai, and Qin Yu—all four of them had their heads buzzing.

How terrifying!

Originally, they thought he was arrogant, considering himself invincible, so he named it the Invincible Sword Technique.

But the result was that he wanted every sword in this technique to have the power of invincibility? !?

Damn, if that's the case, isn't the Invincible Sword Technique truly living up to its name?

And so, this Jian Yi is indeed an Invincible Technique!

If it's this powerful, who can withstand it?

Who can withstand it? That's only possible if one's cultivation realm is sufficiently high!

Can you withstand it at the same level?

Try it and die!

If the Invincible Sword Art continues to improve, there's no need for a Jian Shi or Jian Liu. With just a Jian Wu or Jian Liu, it's already enough to be called Invincible!

One sword, one Invincible Technique. Damn.

Jian Jiuhuang's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Recalling the show he had put on earlier, he couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his face.

"Ah, my City Lord's Mansion?!"

Chen Ergou was shocked, and then it suddenly dawned on him.

Damn!

What had happened to his City Lord's Mansion?

This was no longer a mansion; it was clearly a ruin!

And not just any ruin, but one that was especially 'ruined'.

"Ahem."

Qin Yu coughed lightly, "I did warn you earlier..."

Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.

I did warn you, but you didn't listen~

Who can you blame now?

Although I've never seen the Invincible Sword Art, I know of the Artificial Sun Fist. As the saying goes, 'Disregard my advice, and you'll suffer the consequences.' Look, you're suffering now, aren't you?

Chen Ergou: "I..."

What else can I say?

Who could have imagined he'd be so Invincible!"

It's just Jian Yi, and yet it has such power. If you told me it was Jian Yi Bai, I'd believe it!

Chen Ergou couldn't help but laugh and cry, regretting his decision too late.

At the same time, he secretly pondered. If he had listened to the advice earlier, perhaps he could have minimized the damage. If he had prepared in advance, maybe he could... could a hammer!

Damn it!

Blocking the aftermath of the explosion was simple.

But even with preparation, he couldn't withstand that scorching heat!

Or perhaps, he wouldn't have thought about it in this way.

— Who could have imagined that after a single sword strike, there would be such a powerful explosion, and along with the explosion, there would be a two-hundred-million-degree heat spreading?

It was like seeing a ghost!

At this moment, Xu Fenglai was in love.

Chen Ergou was stunned.

Jian Jiuhuang... knelt down.

The people from the City Lord's Mansion watched from afar, afraid to breathe.

The City Guards had already surrounded the area, and seeing the state of the City Lord's Mansion, they even suspected that this was the doing of an Eighth or Ninth Stage Ascendant Realm powerhouse who had casually struck it as they passed by!

Too outrageous!

Too terrifying!

It was only upon seeing Chen Ergou still alive and unharmed that they felt somewhat relieved.

Otherwise, they would have prepared themselves for a life-or-death struggle. "Huff!!!"

Xu Fenglai finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Qin, Brother Qin!!!"

"I'm very interested in your Lan Yue Sect!"

"I wish to join the Lan Yue Sect. Please, Brother Qin, could you introduce me? Please, introduce me!!!"

"After I successfully join, I will definitely express my gratitude!"

Xu Fenglai was naturally intelligent.

And he also had his own ambitions.

Before, he hadn't known whom to choose as his master, but now, could he still not see it clearly?

Although the Lan Yue Sect might currently be an insignificant third-rate sect, its foundation and secret techniques were indeed Invincible!

Didn't you see that Chen Ergou and Jian Jiuhuang were stunned and knelt down?

That being the case, what about Qin Yu's senior brother, that Old Huang, who said he wasn't skilled in the Sword Dao and had average Sword Dao talent...

How powerful must his specialty be?

Could it be that he could defeat Old Huang in one strike?

If he didn't try his best to enter the sect, wouldn't he be a fool?

"Oh? Introducing you is easy, very easy." Qin Yu said, "Since we've become fast friends, this small matter is naturally not a problem. However, while introducing you is easy, I can't guarantee that my master will accept you as a disciple."

Although he knew in his heart that his master would most likely accept Xu Fenglai as a direct disciple, but—

Perhaps in the future, Xu Fenglai might become his own senior brother.

But for now, he was still an outsider.

Only by saying this could it bring more benefits to the Lan Yue Sect.

No problem!

And it could also promote cooperation between the Qin Royal Manor and Xu Palace.

Qin Yu naturally understood this.

He smiled and said, "Since we've become fast friends, I will naturally speak highly of you to my master when the time comes. However, whether my master will accept you as a disciple depends on fate."

"Whether this opportunity arises depends on fate."

Xu Fenglai took a deep breath and clenched his fist, "Then, many thanks, Brother Qin!"

But what he was thinking was...

Fate is one thing.

This is a matter of courtesy and respect.

The principle of 'the more respect shown, the better' is something he understood.

...

They continued their conversation.

On the other side, Chen Ergou had already arranged for people to clean up the 'battlefield' and repair the City Lord's Mansion.

As for the public announcement...

— That old fellow Jian Jiuhuang was practicing his sword and got confused, and in a moment of carelessness, he blew up the City Lord's Mansion!

After all, in the public eye, the strength of Qin Yu and Old Huang still needed to be protected.

Therefore, Jian Jiuhuang, the one who was heavily injured by the Invincible Sword Art's Jian Yi, became the scapegoat, feeling wronged and speechless.

The third group...

Two Old Huangs gathered together.

One was Jian Jiuhuang, who was sincerely seeking guidance from the other Old Huang.

He was truly convinced.

The Invincible Sword Art was too powerful.

That terrifying heat was even more unreasonable.

After being struck and stunned by it, he also became curious and wanted to understand what had happened.

Old Huang exhaled and no longer felt depressed. Instead, he felt a bit embarrassed.

Strictly speaking, the Artificial Sun Sword was not a sword technique but a modified version of the Artificial Sun Fist. In the end, it wasn't that he had defeated Jian Jiuhuang in sword techniques, but that he had won with an Invincible Technique.

Invincible Techniques inherently represent dominance within the same cultivation realm, and it was reasonable for Jian Jiuhuang, who was at a higher realm, to be unable to withstand it.

But these words, he wouldn't say.

After all, Jian Jiuhuang, that old fellow, had been showing off and acting all-knowing earlier, even pointing fingers at the Lan Yue Sect's Sword Dao and claiming that his master wasn't versatile enough?

Hmph!

Besides, I'm not being reckless, am I?

Although the Artificial Sun Sword isn't a pure sword technique, it's because my innate talent in the Sword Dao is truly mediocre. If I could learn Sword Eleven, would I still need the 'Invincible Sword Technique'?

Moreover, I should thank you.

If you didn't push me, I wouldn't have thought of this method~

Although the current Sword One, when compared to the Artificial Sun Fist, doesn't seem to increase its power much, and might even reduce it, as my understanding of the Artificial Sun Fist deepens and my cultivation improves...

I can further combine the sword technique with the Artificial Sun Fist!

By then, Sword One won't be the Artificial Sun Sword anymore~, it will be the Sky Burial Sun Sword~

Or even the Nirvana Sun Sword!

Naturally, its power will far surpass that of the simple Artificial Sun Fist.

Moreover...

When my realm becomes astonishing, perhaps I can make each 'Nirvana' sword carry a small Artificial Sun.

If that's the case, who would dare rival me?

Hiss!

Just thinking about it is thrilling!

Sword Eleven Nirvana originally gathers countless flying swords to attack the enemy, with the cultivator's Yuan Qi continuously supplying the flying swords, ensuring they never stop!

In other words, that's countless flying swords!

Nirvana Sun Sword, that's countless flying swords plus countless Artificial Suns!

Who can withstand that?!

Unfortunately...

My cultivation is still too low, and Nirvana is still far off. Otherwise, my attack power might be able to rival the Eighth Realm's Fifth Stage and beyond, or even the Ninth Realm?!

Phew~

It's truly thrilling!

But there's no rush, no rush!

I'm still young.

Let's talk about it later, later!

However, after returning this time, I'll have to spend some time practicing the sword technique again.

Even if it kills me, I must master Sword Eleven.

Even if I only learn half of it...

When it comes to a life-or-death situation, if luck is on my side and I manage to unleash the Nirvana Sun Sword, it'll be deadly!

"There's one more problem."

"Currently, due to my cultivation and proficiency, the speed at which I can condense the Artificial Sun is too slow, far from keeping up with the attacking speed of the Nirvana flying swords."

"So, I must quickly improve my cultivation and proficiency in the Artificial Sun Fist."

"If all else fails, I can't insist on having every flying sword be an Artificial Sun, but having one among ten or a hundred would be good too."

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

Wang Teng, who had transformed into the old man, communicated with Sword Nine Huang while secretly chuckling.

Saliva almost dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough~

Putting aside the so-called talent of a Great Emperor, becoming a disciple of Moon Embrace Sect, and being a direct disciple of the Master, was the best decision I've ever made in my life!

The future is simply unbeatable.

It's almost unimaginable.

It's truly wonderful!

...

Qin Yu contacted Lin Fan.

"Master."

"As per your instructions, I traveled the world, and coincidentally 'encountered' Xu Wang's son, Xu Fenglai, in the North Liang region of the Four Directions Immortal Kingdom, and we became friends."

"The experience was a bit complicated."

"It seems that Empress Zhou sent people to disguise us, intending to have us 'die together' and provoke a war between the North and South, completely surrounding Qin Royal Manor..."

"Fortunately, we saw through their plan and developed a friendship."

"Moreover, I found that Xu Fenglai fits one of the iron rules for accepting disciples."

"Therefore, I worked together with my senior brother to make Xu Fenglai have a great impression of our Moon Embrace Sect, and he wants to join our sect."

"Furthermore, he asked me to speak highly of him to you, Master, so that he can also successfully enter and become a disciple of our sect."

"I agreed to his request."

"I wonder what Master thinks about this?"

...

Upon receiving Qin Yu's message, Lin Fan's eyes lit up: "Wonderful!"

"Xu Fenglai!"

"The North Liang Prince!"

"Sword Nine Huang!"

"There's even a Sword God Li, a Sword God Deng, and in the East, there's the World Second?"

"In that case, in the Four Directions Immortal Kingdom, aside from Qin Yu's family, isn't it almost a perfect match for the Snow World's Jianghu?"

"The Snow World~"

"That's a Jianghu full of vigor and spirit."

He sighed.

In fantasy novels, the martial prowess in the Snow World might not be considered high.

But... the Jianghu atmosphere is exceptionally intense, making it a place of longing.

Furthermore, in Lin Fan's opinion, low martial prowess isn't an issue.

What does low martial prowess mean? Compared to the original Snow World and other fantasy novels, the martial prowess might be low, but they are now in the Four Directions Immortal Kingdom and on the Immortal Martial Continent!

Even Tang Shenwang, who is from a fantasy sewage system, can be enhanced to become an unparalleled genius. Why not Xu Fenglai, who follows the protagonist template of the Snow World? So, martial prowess isn't a problem!

Xu Fenglai must also be a protagonist template, and there won't be any unexpected twists!

To accept or not?

It's definitely the former!

Moreover, Qin Yu and Wang Teng have already resolved the initial troubles for me. I don't even need to exert much effort; with just one agreement, Xu Fenglai will come to pay respects and become my disciple~

Since it's like this, how can I find any reason to refuse?
