Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 319 The Great Five Elements Universe Flow Extinction Divine Light Sword Qi
Sun Yanwan and Yang Diao'er withdrew six or seven tenths of their power and gained some fresh air. Sun Yanwan recovered eight or nine tenths of his energy in just over ten breaths. He wanted to observe Ba Tianmo's technique, but he did not take the initiative to attack. He tried several times to activate the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray to hit Ba Tianmo, but he detected it and shattered the sword energy.

The sword energy of the Extinction Sword was sharp and incomparably strong. Although it was thin, it was also incredibly tough. Even when it clashed with divine weapons, it was no less powerful. However, Ba Tianmo's internal energy was six or seven times stronger in one go, which was really too fierce and domineering.

The Shadowless Marquis's sword light shifted and transformed, like a rain of flowers, enduring seventy or eighty moves before he finally shouted, "Who comes?"

Seeing that Sun Yanwan remained silent, Yang Diao'er waved her Ice Silkworm Fan, and the Heavenly Demon Force Field descended, continuously deflecting Ba Tianmo's palm strikes. For a moment, Ba Tianmo was unable to break through Yang Diao'er's protective true energy.

Wuying Hou was also greatly shocked, exclaiming, "Although I had anticipated that this little witch's martial arts were extraordinary, I never expected that her martial arts would be so profound? Isn't she proficient in the Xuanming Yinsha Gong? How come her Heavenly Demon Gong is also so powerful?"

Yang Diao'er was naturally no match for Wuying Hou. After enduring more than ten moves, she cried out, "Yan Wan!"

Sun Yanwan let out a long roar, his three souls and two blades blocking the attack. Five-colored rays of light swirled around the blades, allowing him to withstand Ba Tianmo's palm strike. As the swirling, resilient five-colored rays of light crumbled one by one, Sun Yanwan softly chanted: "Have you not seen the Kunwu Iron Forge, its flames and smoke rising, its red and purple auras dazzling? Have you not seen the divine craftsmanship and supernatural axe, thousands of years old, its resolute soul and essence forging this precious sword?"

In keeping with this ancient poem, his swordsmanship was no longer confined to the Great Songyang Divine Sword or the Hunyuan Sword Technique. He wielded his longsword freely, combining seventy percent defense with three parts offense. The sword light surged, moving freely amidst Ba Tianmo's powerful palm strikes.

Even the Shadowless Marquis couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What superb swordsmanship!"

Even though the multicolored light had all disappeared, the Three Souls Two-Edged Sword seemed to have come to life, and every time it touched Ba Tianmo's palm force, it would emit a deep humming sound.

Both Wuyinghou and Yang Diao'er knew that this was not the supernatural power of the Three Souls Two-Edged Sword, but rather an unusual phenomenon caused by the sword vibrating incessantly under the influence of Sun Yanwan's internal energy. Neither of them expected that Sun Yanwan's internal energy had reached such a level.

After exchanging seven blows with Ba Tianmo, Sun Yanwan suddenly shouted, "Twin dragons on a precious sword, snowflakes illuminating a lotus. Brilliant light pierces heaven and earth, thunderous power cannot be swayed."

The Three Souls Double-Edged Sword suddenly shone brightly, its sword rainbow flickering, breaking through Ba Tianmo's triple palm strikes, and clashing head-on with his remaining palm strikes, resulting in a draw.

Wuying Hou couldn't help but exclaim, "Is that the Primordial Chaos Sword Light?" But he immediately realized it wasn't.

Firstly, just a few days ago, he had snatched a copy of the Hunyuan Sword Manual from one of the escaped members of the Hu family.

In order to ensure that the Hu family's swordsmanship could be passed down, Hu Fenglong dared not keep his skills to himself any longer. He made his family's secret techniques available for all members of the Hu family to copy. Otherwise, what use would it be if a few people escaped without the family's swordsmanship?

Sun Yanwan was absolutely certain that it was impossible for him to master the Hunyuan Sword Manual in such a short period of time.

Secondly, this sword rainbow was too long, and its sword light was completely different from that emitted by the Hu family's Hunyuan Sword Scripture.

Even in Hu Qingdi's hands, the Hunyuan Sword's tempered Hunyuan Sword Qi was only one foot and two or three inches long, but the sword rainbow emitted by Sun Yanwan was as long as one foot and seven or eight inches long. Moreover, the Hu family's sword light was known as "it can be broken inch by inch, but cannot be bent around a finger".

The sword's edge was straight and unbreakable.

However, the sword rainbow that Sun Yanwan unleashed was unpredictable and erratic, completely different from the Hu family's Hunyuan Sword Scripture.

Sun Yanwan laughed loudly, "This is the Great Five Elements Cosmic Flow Extinction Divine Light Sword Qi of my Songyang Sect!" Wuyinghou felt a tightness in his chest. Just by hearing the name, he knew what kind of technique this "Great Five Elements Cosmic Flow Extinction Divine Light Sword Qi" was. It was nothing more than dozens of Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light rays converging, but Sun Yanwan had turned it into sword qi, and given it such a long and imposing name, as if it were some kind of extraordinary divine skill.

Hmm, this sword energy is really quite powerful!

At least it can withstand Ba Tianmo's palm strikes head-on and not be at a disadvantage in the slightest.

It's worth noting that Sun Yanwan wasn't a Grandmaster; he was only a Xiantian (Innate) level cultivator. With a power level that was a whole realm lower, he managed to fight Ba Tianmo, a Grandmaster at the peak, without being at a disadvantage. This was quite astonishing.

Wuyinghou shouted, "Stop showing off! Hold on as long as you can, I haven't fully recovered yet."

Sun Yanwan's longsword was like a swimming dragon, its sword rainbows stretching and contracting freely. She actually managed to hold her own against Ba Tianmo with just her swordsmanship, taking almost all of the attacks from this crazed grandmaster, thus buying Wuyinghou and Yang Diao'er time to catch their breath.

After thirty or forty moves, Sun Yanwan's true energy receded, and she called out, "Old Wu, you go first."

Wu Yinghou drew his sword and stepped forward, shouting, "Don't call me Old Wu! My surname isn't Wu!"

Sun Yanwan asked, "So what's your surname?"

Wuying Hou remained silent, focusing all his energy on his sword. After a rapid attack, it was Yang Diao'er's turn. When it was Sun Yanwan's turn again, Sun Yanwan's swordsmanship was more mature and skillful. The Great Five Elements Universe Flow Extinction Divine Light Sword Qi also changed more exquisitely, dragging out the attack by seven or eight moves.

Wuyinghou had sharp eyes and could tell that it wasn't that Sun Yanwan's swordsmanship had improved—even a god descending to earth couldn't do such a thing in such a short time—but rather that Sun Yanwan had become more adept at conserving her energy.

When Wuying Hou launched his third major attack, he unleashed more than ten sword strikes in succession, shouting, "His power is waning!"

Sun Yanwan could also see that Ba Tianmo's power was indeed declining. This decline was a bit abnormal. After all, he was a veteran master with profound power. How could his power decline so easily?
However, he soon discovered that Ba Tianmo's power had only decreased to the level it had gained when they had just fought, after killing dozens of people, and that the power was gradually disappearing.

However, when he took over the main attack, he found that Ba Tianmo's power had increased slightly. Even after killing dozens of people and the power boost had disappeared, he was still a little stronger than when they first met.

Sun Yanwan's heart sank suddenly, and she thought to herself, "Killing people can actually increase one's martial arts skills?"

"If we let him escape this time, the next time we meet, I'm afraid his skill level will be much higher."

He suddenly shouted, "Shadowless Marquis, you shall take on the challenge!"

He withdrew from the battle, leaving only Wuyinghou and Yang Diao'er behind. Wuyinghou was slightly alarmed, as he was truly afraid that Sun Yanwan would leave.

Sun Yanwan didn't care about abandoning him, but how could he abandon Yang Diao'er, his beloved little sable? He ran wildly to the nearby woods, drew his sword and slashed repeatedly, cutting down seven or eight small trees as thick as a wrist. With a flash of sword light, he severed all the branches, polishing them smooth. He then sheathed his sword and returned with seven or eight large clubs.
