Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 347 The Most Familiar Immortal-Slaying Hammer
With the combined efforts of Sun Yanwan, Zhang Qingxi, and Hei Guanghan, they engaged in a fierce and tumultuous battle with the Emperor of Da Lang.

Emperor Dalang originally thought that his fourth son was the biggest threat, and that Hei Guanghan, as a veteran master, should not be underestimated. But he never expected that Sun Yanwan would bear most of his offensive.

In particular, since the start of the war, Sun Yanwan's martial arts skills have been continuously improving. The internal energy of the Xuanhuang Scripture is vast and powerful, and his supernatural staff techniques are becoming more and more mysterious. Many of his variations are even newly created in the face of the enemy. The staff techniques of the Ma family in the past were never so unpredictable and incredible.

What frustrated the Emperor of Dalang most was that the martial arts essence of the Grandmaster realm was no match for Sun Yanwan's heart. The first few times the martial arts essence was thrown in, it was just a sword intent to resist. But after Sun Yanwan condensed the martial arts essence of the supernatural staff technique, every time the Emperor of Dalang tried to influence Sun Yanwan with his mental wonder, he would feel a fierce and stubborn will, carrying boundless fighting spirit, as raging as a tide!
It was as if he was facing a ferocious monkey that wanted to overturn the heavenly palace and destroy all the gods and Buddhas!

Even the Emperor of Dalang didn't know why he had such a strange feeling.

Sun Yanwan used the Divine Staff Technique for the third time, and his feelings were different again. The Divine Staff Technique borrows the strength of the enemy and the energy of heaven and earth. It should become heavier and heavier with each use, and the more it is used, the more it is like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami, which is unstoppable. However, the Emperor of Dalang could force him to stop using the staff technique each time, and he had to start to accumulate power again!
Although he could withstand more than ten moves from the Great Lang Emperor head-on, without the help of his senior brother and Hei Guanghan to buy time to recover, defeat was only a matter of time.

It can be said that it was precisely because of Zhang Qingxi and Hei Guanghan that Sun Yanwan was able to act without reservation or scruples.

Sun Yanwan thought to herself, "Even if one or two more Grandmasters joined the battle, they still wouldn't be able to do anything to this Emperor of Dalang."

"Unless there are more of them, or they form a formation, it is impossible to trap them to death."

The Great Lang Emperor unleashed his Heavenly Martial Spear, and within three zhang of him, nothing could penetrate.

The Zhang family's Heavenly Martial Spear Technique was indeed, as the Great Lang Emperor said, capable of firmly suppressing the Divine Power Ma family back then.

The Heavenly Martial Spear Technique, in theory, has no other mystery; it's all about one word—speed!

Moreover, it was not only fast, but also continuous, seemingly never needing to catch its breath, with almost no pauses. It was only with the speed of the Heavenly Martial Spear, which was bending and flashing like lightning, that the Great Lang Emperor was able to steadily suppress three Grandmaster-level enemies.

Sun Yanwan never understood how the Emperor of Da Lang could do something that violated the natural structure of human beings.

Sun Yanwan was able to hold back some of her strength, gradually relinquishing her position as the main attacker. Zhang Qingxi, without hesitation, immediately stepped forward. As a true disciple of the Songyang School, personally trained by Zhang Yuanqiao, he had practiced martial arts since childhood, and his foundation was far more solid than Sun Yanwan's. Zhang Qingxi had already mastered all nineteen sword techniques of the Songyang School, both long and short. Now it was his turn to make a move. His longsword techniques were exquisite, breaking down and using the various sword techniques of the Songyang School. Each move was breathtaking, inspiring a sense of awe and reverence.

Although Sun Yanwan had grasped the essence of swordsmanship and mastered the Great Songyang Divine Sword and the Hunyuan Sword Technique, he still felt inferior when he saw his senior brother's swordsmanship. He couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't put in enough effort in swordsmanship.

The Great Lang Emperor's Heavenly Martial Spear attempted to break Zhang Qingxi's swordsmanship several times, but Zhang Qingxi always managed to use his Demon-Slaying Sword to either deflect or deflect it, firmly holding his ground. He himself could not break through the Great Lang Emperor's Heavenly Martial Spear's defense, but he created countless opportunities for his two companions.

Hei Guanghan's treasured sword, Red Lotus, was almost twice the length of him, and its moves were also wide-open, fierce, and domineering.

As time went by, the full strength of this hidden sect leader of the Demonic Cult was revealed, wielding the Demonic Cult's Great Heavenly Demon Blade with demonic energy soaring into the sky. After Sun Yanwan finished using his supernatural staff technique again, the Emperor of Dalang breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "That little thief Sun has finally exhausted his potential; this time he didn't break through in the face of the enemy."

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Sun Yanwan thrust her Ruyi Cudgel into the ground with her backhand and charge forward bare-handed, using the Dragon Elephant Prajna move to forcefully clash the blade of the Heavenly Martial Spear.

Sun Yanwan also realized at this moment that the essence of the supernatural staff technique lies in the fact that each staff technique has a corresponding mental cultivation method. In this mental cultivation method, the true energy is circulated in a very short time. Therefore, each move is divided into the generation, borrowing, receiving, and transformation. When borrowing the energy at the end, the energy can be returned at the same time, so that the next move can be even more powerful and domineering.

However, the Heavenly Martial Spear Technique of the Great Lang Emperor could repeatedly disrupt the rhythm of the Divine Staff Technique, causing Sun Yanwan to inevitably have a moment of insufficient recovery within seven or eight moves, making it impossible to regain her strength. As long as she failed to regain her strength once or twice, the powerful Divine Staff Technique would inevitably be forced to stop.

Sun Yanwan wasn't without ways to overcome this weakness, but his attacks were never as fast as the Emperor of Dalang. As long as he couldn't keep up with the Grandmaster's pace, his staff techniques would never be effective against him. So he simply abandoned the Ruyi Staff and started using his most proficient Immortal-Slaying Hammer.

Sun Yanwan used the Immortal Hammer and the Human Immortal Fist interchangeably, and this time the Emperor of Da Lang was helpless against him.

In battle, to discern the true strength of an enemy's martial arts, one's own martial arts must be at least one or two levels higher—not higher than the level of the person making the move, but higher than the level of the master who created the martial art.

The reason why the Emperor of Dalang was able to make this targeted move was not because his martial arts were superior to those of the Ma family's predecessors who created the Shentong Staff Technique. Rather, it was because the Zhang family, the emperor's family, also possessed a fragment of the Shentong Staff Technique. Moreover, the ancestors of the Zhang and Ma families had fought countless times, which allowed them to glimpse the true nature of the Shentong Staff Technique.

If it were anyone else, they would be helpless if their martial arts skills were exposed, but Sun Yanwan was able to make a decisive decision, abandoning the supernatural staff technique and switching to the Immortal-Slaying Hammer that she was most familiar with.

The Immortal Hammer's movements were unpredictable, shifting between solid and void, its strength and softness shifting constantly. For a moment, the Great Lang Emperor couldn't quite grasp the rhythm of Sun Yanwan's recovery.

The two sides fought fiercely for four or five hundred rounds, leaving the once magnificent Cuihan Palace in ruins.

The Emperor of Dalang wanted to kill his own son, but of course, he couldn't announce such a thing to the public. Therefore, he had long since sealed off the area around Cuihan Palace, so even though the two sides were fighting so fiercely, no news got out.

When Zhang Qingxi was chasing the Second Prince, he had already killed half of the hundreds of guards. Now that the four of them were fighting, they naturally did not care about the guards around them. Although these guards were highly skilled in martial arts, once they were caught up in the battle, they could only die quickly.

By this point in the battle, all of the original hundreds of guards had been killed; there were no survivors.

After continuously wielding the Immortal Hammer, Sun Yan suddenly switched his internal and external power, clapping his hands together and unleashing the Great Five Elements Universe Flow Extinction Divine Light Sword Qi with his bare hands. Each of his palms forced out several feet of flickering sword light, like two divine swords that could extend and retract at will, and he also used the direct lineage sword technique of the Songyang School.

At that moment, Sun Yanwan suddenly thought of a way to defeat the enemy...
