Chapter 534: The State of Unity Between Man and Sword
Chapter 534: The State of Unity Between Man and Sword
Taking the initiative to attack twice, only to be countered and repelled by his opponent both times. If not for his own highly-skilled martial arts, he might have died by now.
What's more, when he executed the same Divine Blade Slash twice, his opponent countered with two different sword techniques, neither of which were meant to seize the opportunity and turn the tables.
This proved that his opponent's martial arts were definitely superior to his.
The Demon Sect Leader found this incredulous. How could Tie Kaicheng, at such a young age, have attained such a high level of martial arts?
Hearing Tie Kaicheng's words at this moment, the Demon Sect Leader's pupils constricted as he focused his qi and prepared for action.
In the next moment, the glow of a sword flashed in his eyes.
Subsequently, he felt as if the entire world was filled with endless sword qi, and the person holding the sword opposite him had also transformed into a sword.
"Unity between man and sword!"
"No, there's an opening!"
The Demon Sect Leader was indeed a peerless martial arts master, as he immediately noticed a flaw in Tie Kaicheng's sword technique, which was not perfect and still had some loopholes.
However, Tie Kaicheng's own martial arts, sword techniques, and internal energy were too high. Even though he spotted this tiny flaw, he couldn't exploit it.
He could sense that while this sword technique lacked the splendor of the previous dazzling strike, its power was even greater. No matter how he defended and countered, he could only delay the inevitable, unable to break through.
"What kind of sword technique is this?"
"Who exactly are you?"
The Demon Sect Leader did not voice these questions, but he could only retreat and once again unleashed his Divine Blade Slash.
Tie Kaicheng's figure shifted, his lightweight skills were already exceptional, and now, with the unity of man and sword, his movements far exceeded the scope of ordinary swordplay. The Divine Blade Slash failed to hit him, but his sword pierced the Demon Sect Leader.
The glow of the blade paused, and the sword light faded.
The Demon Sect Leader looked at the long sword that had pierced his throat, then raised his head to look at Tie Kaiecheng, his fearful eyes filled with bewilderment, as if he couldn't believe that he was about to die here.
Tie Kaicheng withdrew his long sword, holding it horizontally across his chest, with traces of residual blood still on the blade.
He couldn't help but blow gently, causing a string of blood beads to flow along the sword edge and then slowly drip onto the soil.
...
The Demon Sect Leader fell to the ground with a loud crash, and silence befell the audience beneath the Fengchan Platform.
The sound of the Demon Sect Leader falling to the ground was not particularly loud, but it reverberated in everyone's minds like the tolling of a grand bell. The elders of the prestigious clans all felt a sense of unreality.
The Demon Sect Leader, who had dominated the lands beyond the pass for twenty years, acting arrogantly within the pass and oppressing the various sects, forcing them to bow their heads, had always been a formidable opponent that they could only barely resist. And now, he was dead?
No one doubted that the man who had just died was an imposter.
Huayukun had been the top expert among the Seven Sword Sects twenty years ago. After hiding in reclusion for two decades, his Clear Wind Thirteen Styles had become even more formidable. Looking back over the past three hundred years, there were very few Hua Mountain masters who could surpass him.
Yet, his sword couldn't even touch the Demon Sect Leader's clothes. If not for Tie Kaicheng's timely intervention, he would have been sliced in two by the Demon Sect Leader's blade as well.
The Demon Sect Leader was indeed an unparalleled and extraordinary master, astonishing the ages and awe-inspiring to the contemporary world.
The Divine Blade Slash was indeed an unparalleled divine skill, unmatched throughout the ages, with few rivals.
And yet, this man, who had unleashed three startling and unconventional Divine Blade Slashes, was thwarted twice and died on the third attempt.
Those with a bit of knowledge could even tell that Tie Kaicheng wasn't using the Life-Taking Thirteen Swords.
"What kind of sword technique is that?" Sun Xingyu couldn't help but ask.
She had seen the Sword Drawing Technique and the Celestial Fairy, but she had never seen the sword technique that Tie Kaicheng had just used.
Tie Kaicheng still felt a lingering fear when he recalled that incident.
Ximen Chuixue had long revealed his swordsmanship to others. It was about sincerity towards the sword, hence his pure and honest swordsmanship.
Tie Kaicheng couldn't quite figure out how Ximen Chuixue had achieved such a state while changing diapers. Anyway, he had tried for a long time but failed to reach the state of being one with the sword with a sincere heart.
It wasn't until he came to the world of 'The Third Young Master's Sword' that he made some progress in this aspect after deducing the 15th move of the Life-Taking Thirteen Swords and learning an ultimate swordsmanship.
However, he still couldn't transform himself completely into a sword like Ximen Chuixue.
Fortunately, he didn't need to.
Tie Kaicheng: ()
The onlookers looked at Tie Kaicheng with strange eyes. He was talking about a friend, not a master.
In other words, there was another peerless swordsman besides Yan Shi, who could also achieve such a state?
When did the world's top swordsmen become so common?
In this era of great competition, is this how they compete?
What about the survival of ordinary people like us in the martial arts world?
Just then, a roar interrupted everyone's thoughts. They saw Tong Tuo roar in anger, draw the long-handled scimitar from his waist, and charge towards Tie Kaicheng.
Being tall, Tong Tuo's scimitar was also bigger than the Demon Sect Leader's crescent moon blade. The blade was four feet long and the handle was two feet long, much longer than Tie Kaicheng's sword.
However, before he could reach Tie Kaicheng, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
This was because four blade tips had suddenly appeared in his chest and abdomen.
Jin Shi, Yin Long, Tie Yan, and his wife, the four of them, stabbed their swords into Tong Tuo's body from behind.
Tong Tuo turned his head with difficulty, looking at the four of them in disbelief.
However, the four of them expressionlessly withdrew their swords, leaving Tong Tuo to die in a pool of blood, his mind filled with questions.
"Please let Princess Tianmei ascend the throne and lead the Holy Sect!"
Jin Shi, Yin Long, and Tie Yan and his wife knelt before Sun Xingyu simultaneously.
At this moment, Sun Xingyu was still Princess Tianmei, not the Master of Tianmei Palace.
The onlookers stared at Sun Xingyu in disbelief, realizing that the other woman who had been following Tie Kaicheng was actually the princess of the Demon Sect?
Sun Xingyu glanced at Li Zhenzhen with a triumphant look.
Li Zhenzhen bit her silver teeth but could only ignore it.
Sun Xingyu then looked at Tie Kaicheng, but he waved his hand, "Now you are the leader of the Demon Sect, not me."
Sun Xingyu smiled gently and said softly, "I will always be your little maid."
After saying that, she took a step forward, and her entire aura changed instantly. She transformed into a noble and inviolable holy maiden, pure and sacred.
"You four, quickly return to Qilian Mountain, put the sect's affairs in order, and kill the traitors. Wait for me to return to the mountain before dealing with the subsequent matters."
"Yes!"
The four of them left with the bodies of the Demon Sect Leader and Tong Tuo at an incredible speed, but they left behind the Demon Sect Leader's crescent moon blade.
Sun Xingyu played with the crescent moon blade, gently stroking the words "A Night of Listening to Spring Rain in a Small Building", and then she intended to hand the blade to Tie Kaicheng.
Of course, Tie Kaicheng wouldn't take it, so Sun Xingyu kept it.
