Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 287 Xuanhuang vs Tianwu
After a few days of youthful arrogance in Black Dragon City, Sun Yanwan received a letter from his master, urging him to return to Songyang Mountain as soon as possible so that he could "emerge from seclusion"!
When Wenxi returned to Luojing, he actually impeached Sun Yanwan, accusing him of plotting rebellion.

However, Sun Yanwan had been in seclusion at the Songyang Sect, and with someone in the court vouching for him, the matter was temporarily suppressed, but he still needed to go to Luojing to investigate.

Helpless, Sun Yanwan packed her things, took only the Three Souls Double-Edged Sword, and left Black Dragon City alone, heading straight for Songyang Mountain, without even bringing the Red Dragon Wood Staff.

Along the way, Sun Yanwan did not reveal his whereabouts. He returned to Songyang Mountain, met his master, paid respects to his senior uncle, and saw several monks who had been testifying that he had not left Songyang. Only then did he announce his departure from seclusion in a high-profile manner and immediately set up a ceremonial procession to head straight for Luojing.

When they arrived at Donghai Pass, Sun Yanwan deliberately stayed overnight. After passing through Donghai Pass, she made a special trip to Shaochan Temple to visit Zen Master Daku and Monk Kongchan before heading to Luojing.

With a day's journey still to Luojing, Sun Yanwan was not in a hurry to travel. She found an inn and was circulating her inner energy that night when suddenly a jumble of thoughts arose in her mind. Startled, she drew her longsword and shouted, "Who goes there, playing tricks on me?"

Although he doesn't practice spiritual arts much, his internal and external strength are combined, making it difficult for ordinary people to shake his mind.

The person who made the move in secret was someone who could cause him to have so many distracting thoughts; they must be a master.

A gentle voice, carrying a hint of innate authority, said in a low voice, "So you are Sun Yanwan? Indeed, you are remarkable, but it is a pity that you will perish today, and the world will lose another genius."

Sun Yanwan focused his mind on the sword. When he advanced to the Innate Realm, he chose to use his sword intent to penetrate the Ten Transformations of Xuanhuang!
Therefore, by focusing one's mind on the sword, one can immediately achieve a state of clarity in the sword's heart and instantly find the terrifying enemy on the roof.

Sun Yanwan merged her body and sword into one, unleashing her pure and unparalleled sword intent, which transformed into a blazing rainbow that pierced through the roof, its light pointing directly at this formidable enemy.

The enemy spoke with an air of great age and maturity, but was actually very young, only in his early twenties, and his features seemed vaguely familiar.

The young man was slightly surprised by such a fierce and unrestrained sword strike, and laughed, "You were actually able to withstand the Heavenly Martial Illusionary World Law and still be able to unleash such a sword strike. You truly deserve to be my brother's good junior brother."

With a casual punch, this man instantly suppressed Sun Yanwan's unparalleled sword intent.

With her sword intent suppressed, Sun Yanwan's sword strike, which contained countless follow-up moves, suddenly became unusable.

When Sun Yanwan heard the young man say "my brother's good junior brother," she exclaimed in surprise, "Are you the second prince or the third prince? You can't be the Crown Prince's lingering spirit, reincarnated into the living world, can you?"

These words nearly shattered the Second Prince's clear-headed composure. He cursed, "The eldest son died long ago, and the third son is a good-for-nothing. How can you compare me to them?"

Sun Yanwan touched her sword and tilted her head, saying, "Is that the good-for-nothing who received the ancestor's teachings but advanced to the Grandmaster level several years later than my senior brother?"

Even though he was a few years younger than Zhang Qingxi, and even though he inherited the legacy of his ancestors, he could still advance to the Grandmaster level in his twenties. He could not be called a waste by any means. However, the Second Prince was still broken down by Sun Yanwan's words.

Even a thousand lies can be as gentle as a breeze, but a single truth can be as sharp as a steel knife.

The Second Prince, despite inheriting the legacy of his ancestors, was still able to advance to the Grandmaster level only after Zhang Qingxi, a fact he had always resented. Now, with Sun Yanwan openly mocking him, he could no longer contain himself and shouted, "You truly deserve to die!"

With a single punch, the heavens and earth seemed to collapse!

The heavens and earth will not collapse; what collapses is the influence of the heavens and earth on Sun Yanwan's state of mind.

Although Sun Yanwan had never seen it before, she had heard of it. This was the Heavenly Martial Dragon Collapse Force of the Zhang family of the Emperor! It was also known as the Dragon Collapse Immortal Force!

Back then, our ancestor used this Heavenly Martial Dragon Collapse Force to kill Yang Shifa of the Demonic Sect, which made him famous throughout the world and led him to the pinnacle of power.

Faced with what is said to be an unparalleled feat capable of shattering the heavens and splitting the earth, even killing a celestial dragon, Sun Yanwan naturally did not want to fight head-on. He reversed his grip on his longsword, pointed out with one finger, and used the Ruyi Golden Needle, which he had cultivated for a long time but had never had the chance to use.

During his time in Northern Yan, he finally managed to control the five elements and five transformations of true qi at will, transforming them instantly. However, apart from the five elements and five transformations, the true qi in the Ruyi Qiankun Bag could not be controlled in the same way; it could only be compressed to a dozen or so breaths, making it completely unusable in actual combat.

The Heavenly Martial Dragon Collapse Force is incredibly powerful and contains a strange and wondrous spiritual skill. Sun Yanwan knew she couldn't fight it head-on, so she had to use the Ruyi Golden Needle to break through its surface.

The Ruyi Golden Needle is not a "finger force," but rather a "needle force" that condenses the Geng metal true energy into fine needles. It is not fired one needle at a time, but rather dozens or hundreds of needles are fired at once.

Sun Yanwan deliberately pointed out the answer, intending to deceive her opponent.

The Second Prince laughed loudly, intensifying his punch while maintaining his stance, instantly shattering all the Ruyi Needle Forces. He shouted, "How could I not know the martial arts of the Songyang Sect?"

When Sun Yanwan's first move failed, she struck back with her palm, unleashing a twisting and unpredictable palm strike that circled in the air before striking the back of the Second Prince's head.

The second prince exhaled and shouted, "Disperse!"

With just a burst of true energy, he dispersed Sun Yanwan's Taiyi Hunxian Silk Palm Force, but his fist force inevitably slowed down slightly. Sun Yanwan was able to break free from the subtle sensation of the fist's intent, and his longsword generated a sharp and cold aura, transforming his power into the Xuanbing Treasure Mirror.

The two displayed their extraordinary skills and fought fiercely for seventeen or eighteen moves in a short time. Sun Yanwan could not suppress her desire to find a stick and thought to herself, "It's a pity I didn't bring the Red Dragon Wood Stick with me. Although it would expose my identity, it's better than being at a disadvantage."

Actually, it's not a martial art of the Songyang School, and it's not as good as the Divine Staff Technique. However, the Divine Staff Technique is quite effective in countering the Heavenly Martial Collapse Dragon Force.

The second prince took a deep breath and shouted, "Do you know why I came here personally to kill you?"

Sun Yanwan replied, "It's nothing more than being abandoned by everyone, or simply that no experts are willing to join you, so you have no one to command."

The Second Prince's carefully constructed aura nearly crumbled, and he couldn't help but curse, "You little brat! What nonsense are you spouting? I am the Son of Heaven, how could I not have subordinates?"

Sun Yanwan retorted, "Can you really find him and kill my subordinate single-handedly?"

The Second Prince's momentum faltered again at this question. He really didn't have anyone under his command who could kill Sun Yanwan in one fell swoop. With Sun Yanwan's current strength, although he claimed to have "just" advanced to the Innate Realm, almost everyone regarded him as a quasi-Grandmaster.

Currently, there are only six people in the Great Lang Dynasty capable of killing Sun Yanwan alone: ​​the four Grandmasters, the Second Prince himself, and Zhang Qingxi. However, the four Grandmasters hold high positions and great power, so how could they dare to engage in assassination? Zhang Qingxi would certainly not come to kill his own junior brother. He would either mobilize dozens of his men to ambush Sun Yanwan, or he would really have to take action himself.

But the Second Prince's personal intervention wasn't because there was no one else he could mobilize; he had another reason...
