I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 500 Invincible and Unbeatable, the Absolute Sword Unleashed

"I control my own life."

The moment those words were spoken, countless sword energies erupted from Ying Xun in all directions, like a raging tide, instantly enveloping the entire Third Branch School and forming a sword energy barrier.

Within this sword energy barrier, everyone's expressions and movements froze. In their terror, wine cups were knocked over, the wine spilling onto the table, about to drip, but abruptly freezing in mid-air. Several yellowed leaves, which had been swirling in the wind, were now fixed in mid-air as the wind stopped.

Overall, it looks like a movie scene that has been paused.

At this moment, everything that was moving suddenly came to a standstill.

Everyone felt a chill run through their bodies. Not only were they unable to move, but a chill also enveloped their hearts, as if they were surrounded by countless sharp swords, ready to pierce their hearts at any moment.

Even some martial arts practitioners with slightly weaker skills could feel a stinging pain all over their bodies, as if they were being pricked by needles.

Of course, there are still three people who can move within this sword energy barrier.

One is Ying Xun, who controls the sword energy barrier.

One is the Sword Saint Dugu Jian.

Because the sword energy barrier dominated by Ying Xun is actually the 23rd move of the Sword Technique.

—The Sword of Love and Passion, Chapter Twenty-Three.

It should be noted that the Twenty-Three Sword Techniques are not simply a single sword move. In addition to the Twenty-Three Sword Techniques of Sentimental Heaven and Earth, there are also the Twenty-Three Sword Techniques of Annihilating Heaven and Earth, which represents infinite death and killing intent, and the Twenty-Three Sword Techniques of Six Annihilation and Selflessness, which represents ruthlessness and indifference.

In the original storyline, the Sword Saint should have comprehended the Six Annihilation Selfless Sword Twenty-Three. However, due to Ying Xun's intervention, he has now comprehended the Sentimental Heaven and Earth Sword Twenty-Three, which represents protection and vitality.

Therefore, the Sword Saint is also capable of action.

As for Wu Wudi being able to move, it's because his sword, which stirs up the celestial phenomena, can still form its own realm within the sword qi barrier of Sword Twenty-Three, which we'll tentatively call the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Realm.

If Ying Xun's Sword Twenty-Three represents vitality and protection, then Wu Wudi's sword is similar to the Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Severing Sword Twenty-Three, representing infinite death and killing intent.

His sword strike seemed designed to slaughter all living beings, and he himself was merely the vessel for that sword.

Wu Wudi took a step forward, each step accompanied by the sound of sharp weapons cutting through the air.

As the sound rang out, sword marks suddenly appeared all over the bodies of those martial arts practitioners who were unable to move and were like clay sculptures.

Upon closer inspection, these sword marks all bear the mark of the Ten Strong Martial Arts.

In other words, Wu Wudi incorporated his own martial arts into this sword strike, giving it boundless variations.

Wu Wudi walked very slowly, each step as if measured carefully, with composure and elegance.

When he reached the stone steps of the high platform, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped into the air, and thrust his sword finger towards Ying Xun like a celestial sword flying from the sky.

At this moment, Wu Wudi was no longer a human being.

He is a sword.

A sword that annihilates all living beings!
Faced with this deadly sword strike, even someone as strong as Ying Xun couldn't help but be moved.

But it was merely a feeling of being moved.

Ying Xun firmly believed that he would not be defeated because he was using the Twenty-Three Sword.

In the world of Fengyun, Sword Twenty-Three is definitely the most outstanding sword technique. The only one that can rival it is probably the Xuan Yin Twelve Swords, which possesses its own consciousness.

boom!
In the blink of an eye, Wu Wudi's thrusting sword finger collided with Ying Xun's counter-attack sword finger, instantly unleashing a tremendous roar.

The incomparably sharp sword energy surged out in all directions, and the two completely different sword energies clashed continuously, producing bursts of sonic booms.

The two men faced off, sword to sword, locked in a stalemate.

The burst of sword energy and sword intent sent a group of nearby martial arts practitioners flying, causing them immense pain. They felt as if their bodies were being dismembered, yet they were unable to die.

The saying "living is worse than death" probably refers to this.

At this moment, the contest between Ying Xun and Wu Wudi is no longer just about swordsmanship, but also about sword energy, sword intent, sword momentum, and internal strength cultivation.

In all of this, Ying Xun was clearly superior.

When he was young, Ying Xun suddenly swung his arm and thrust his sword forward.

The sword energy erupted once more, not only shattering Wu Wudi's sword finger but also piercing through his chest.

boom!
The towering sword light that Wu Wudi had conjured shattered with a deafening roar, its energy surging in all directions, dissipating the dark clouds, and clearing the sky.

At the same time, the sword energy barrier formed by Sword Twenty-Three also vanished without a trace.

After the sword energy barrier disappeared, the frozen martial artists were finally able to move. The moment they regained control of their bodies, the martial artists who had been swept away by Wu Wudi were covered in sword wounds, their limbs were separated, and in an instant, blood flowed like a river, with hundreds dead and wounded.

The cries and wails were deafening. If many people hadn't listened to Wuming's advice and avoided the area beforehand, the number of casualties would have been incalculable.

Not to mention, those sitting in the front row were all well-known figures in the martial arts world, the backbone of the Central Plains martial arts community.

It can be said that if Ying Xun had not intentionally used the Twenty-Three Swords of Love and Affection to counter Wu Wudi's deadly sword strike, the martial arts world of the Central Plains, which was just beginning to flourish, would have inevitably fallen into decline again due to the battle between the two.

"I... lost again..."

Wu Wudi looked at the huge hole in his chest, his expression quite somber.

Ying Xun's face was slightly pale, but he laughed and said, "Sword Twenty-Three is the strongest sword in the world. It is not unjust that you were defeated by Sword Twenty-Three."

Although this battle ended very quickly, its danger far surpassed that of his battle between the human and the phoenix with Emperor Shitian. Even he was somewhat shaken.

"I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in!"

Wu Wudi let out a roar of resentment, his figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Then, below the high stone steps, a figure suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt down.

It turns out that the one who attacked Ying Xun just now was not Wu Wudi himself, but his primordial spirit.

Ying Xun swiftly stepped down and helped Wu Wudi up: "Old Wu, are you alright?"

Fortunately, he used the controllable Sword Twenty-Three of the Sentimental World. If it had been Sword Twenty-Three of any other sword intent, Wu Wudi would have surely died under his sword.

Because he also possesses the Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Severing Sword Twenty-Three, which even he cannot control.

Wu Wudi shook his head slightly without replying.

It wasn't that he didn't want to reply, but the sword intent entering his body made it extremely difficult for him to even open his mouth.

"There's no life-or-death feud between us. It's just luck. I'll expel the sword intent from you."

……

On the high platform, Mu Yingxiong stood up, looking down at Ying Xun with a furrowed brow and a stern expression: "What a feat of freezing the void, what a feat of Sword Twenty-Three..."

Under that sword strike number twenty-three, he was unable to move and could only be slaughtered at will.

Of course, Sword Twenty-Three's move was not without its weaknesses. Although his body could not move, he could control his sword with his mind, or attack with sword energy without engaging in close combat. After all, he could sense that Sword Twenty-Three's sword energy barrier had a limited range and was not infinitely expandable...

But in any case, this is all hindsight.

When faced with that move, Sword Twenty-Three, the feeling of being completely at someone's mercy truly filled Mu Yingxiong with shame and anger...

Wuming saw Mu Yingxiong's unwillingness, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Brother, there is no end to the sword. There is never a perfect sword move. You and I have only gone a little further than others in our lives. We are far from reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship. We still need to work hard."

Mu Yingxiong simply nodded with a cold face.

Then, he looked at Ying Xun, and his sword intent burst forth, soaring straight into the sky.

Having witnessed such a spectacular sword fight, how could he, as a master swordsman, not be filled with fighting spirit?

Moreover, you might even get to witness the legendary Sword World, which gathers all the wisdom of swordsmanship from ancient times to the present.

At that moment, Ying Xun withdrew his hand from helping Wu Wudi dispel the sword intent and turned his gaze to the high platform.

"Okay, it's your turn."

Ying Xun's gaze was fixed on Wuming, Mu Yingxiong, and the Sword Saint.

Although his gaze was calm, his fighting spirit and sword intent were at their peak because he had just fought with Wu Wudi. Even those who did not meet his gaze directly felt as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast.

Facing the nameless, sword saint, and Mu Yingxiong, whose sword intent and fighting spirit surged like a volcanic eruption, even those whose cultivation was far superior to the others couldn't help but tremble.

In an instant, the sword intent and fighting spirit of the three were aroused, and their aura surged, like three giant swords soaring into the sky and standing tall. Although they were still, they shocked the entire audience.

The martial arts practitioners were stunned. What did this mean?
Could it be that... Young Master Ying has just defeated Wu Wudi, and is already about to face the Twin Swords of Heaven and the Sword Saint?!
But weren't the Sword Saint and the Nameless Senior supposed to be close friends with Young Master Ying despite their age difference?

Moreover, I haven't heard of any grudge between Young Master Ying and Juejian Mu Yingxiong.

However, no matter what, everyone was unwilling to let go of the upcoming battle, and their eyes were fixed on the four people.

It goes without saying that the battle between the four will be absolutely spectacular.

Ying Xun, Wuming, Jian Sheng, and Mu Yingxiong remained motionless, yet their gazes clashed as if they were real, like four divine swords clashing in mid-air, their sword energy exploding and producing a series of metallic clangs.

Just as the three were facing off, a beautiful figure in emerald green appeared in the sky above the three school campuses.

She was a gentle and beautiful young woman, holding a long sword that seemed completely out of place with her demeanor.

Regardless of the girl's swordsmanship, her speed, which was so fast that no one present could catch her, was enough to astonish everyone present.

With a "whoosh," the girl's long sword was suddenly drawn, unleashing a terrifying blade of light that stretched for twenty or thirty feet.

Under the flash of the blade, the ground shattered with a deafening roar, dust billowed, and the blade marks appeared ferocious and terrifying.

This sent chills down the spines of the martial arts practitioners present. The young girl's agility and swordsmanship were so superb that perhaps everyone present was worthy of being her opponent.

"The next battle is extremely dangerous. My master will no longer protect any of you. I hope you will all leave the three training grounds as soon as possible. Even if you are watching, please stand behind this sword mark to avoid being affected. Take care of yourselves."

After saying this, the girl's figure vanished in a flash.

Her movements were just as swift and unpredictable as when she arrived. At least 90% of the people present could not catch a glimpse of her until they realized she was already standing on the high platform, at which point they withdrew their searching gazes.

The group of martial arts masters looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

There are the most people in the world who practice swordsmanship, and the most swordsmen in the martial arts world. The battle at hand is a once-in-a-century event, and any swordsman would probably not want to miss it.

But... looking at the blood-soaked ground, the severed limbs, and the complete mess, one can't help but feel terrified and horrified.

Previously, Ying Xun and Wu Wudi had only each unleashed a single sword strike, yet they had already caused so many deaths and injuries. Not to mention the upcoming all-out battle between four top experts on the Shock Ranking, whose power would likely be even greater.

Most people hesitated for a moment before choosing to leave the three branch campuses and head down the Heavenly Staircase.

The sword duel between the four masters on the Panic List was certainly exciting, but ultimately, life was more important.

The remaining experts, either confident in their superior lightness skills or mindful of their protective inner energy and external martial arts techniques, did not choose to descend the mountain, but wisely stood behind the knife marks.

The knife mark was extremely far from Ying Xun and the others, so even if they were affected by the aftershocks of the battle, they should have had time to react.

On the high platform, Mu Yingxiong coldly said while holding his sword: "Brother Ming, apart from fighting that old thing Sword Saint back then, this is the first time that you and I have joined forces to fight an enemy."

The battle he spoke of with the Sword Saint took place when they obtained the Hero Sword.

In that battle, Wuming was seriously injured while protecting Mu Yingxiong, and almost became a cripple. Afterwards, he joined the Sword Sect and went through the cycle of ten thousand swords before recovering his cultivation and reaching a higher level.

Therefore, Mu Yingxiong had no goodwill towards the Sword Saint and naturally could not possibly join forces with him, nor did he even have the idea.

The nameless man held the Hero's Sword, exuding an aura of righteous power, and his voice was filled with joy.

"It is my honor to fight alongside my elder brother."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yingxiong smiled, a rare occurrence: "I know you have a good relationship with him, but I hope you can give it your all this time, so as to be worthy of the Hero Sword in your hand."

"Don't worry, he will definitely do his best."

Before Wuming could speak, Ying Xun's voice rang out, tinged with amusement: "Because your opponent is me. No one can hold back in front of me. The Sword Saint and the Heavenly Sword are no match for me, and neither is your Absolute Sword."

Mu Yingxiong was taken aback, then sneered, "I thought I was arrogant enough when I was young, but I didn't expect that compared to you, a junior, I am quite humble and polite."

Younger generation?

In truth, Mu Yingxiong and his group are the younger generation.

Ying Xun thought to himself, then raised his hand and beckoned to the stage, chuckling, "Come on, let me see the strength of your Imperial Sword. Do you want to take turns attacking me, or come at me all at once? I'll take it all."

"Arrogant! Let me, Mu Yingxiong, meet you first, you terrified fool."

As expected, it was Mu Yingxiong who made the first move.

He brought a sword with him this time, but it wasn't the broken Hero's Sword; instead, it was a sword called "Loyal Heart."

The sword of Danxin possesses a heart full of passion, yet its sword quality is icy and intimidating. It exudes an arrogant and aloof intent, keeping people at a distance, making it a sword that is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

This sword has been forged for many years and has never drunk blood, because in Mu Yingxiong's heart, only the blood of an unknown person is worthy of the Loyal Heart Sword.

At the moment, he showed no intention of drawing his Danxin Sword. Instead, he shot forward like an arrow, his robes fluttering as he struck out with his palm towards Ying Xun.

This palm strike carried a ruthless and arrogant intent, but what surged forth was not palm force, but sword energy as powerful as mountains and rivers.

This move comes from the Wutian Absolute Sword, created by Mu Yingxiong with his life's work.
