Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 467 Even with a sword, you can't beat me.

When Xiao Ren created "Harmonious Heaven Law", he divided it into three realms.

The initial entry-level "single-word formula" helps one perceive the harmony of things;

Reaching the pinnacle of the "Four Laws of Yunmen," the harmony of Qi;

Returning to simplicity and authenticity, "Nine Shao and Three Qi" embodies harmony with the Tao.

Ren Shaoyang has just completed his foundational studies and has just acquired the three forms of the "Single-Character Formula," namely "Rhythm Stop," "Rhythm Tracing," and "Rhythm Annihilation." The aim is to use one's own rhythm to inspire all things, so that every movement is in harmony with the rhythm.

With a casual movement, one can directly target the opponent's weaknesses, using rhythmic vibrations to defend against the enemy while injuring oneself.

This method is bizarre and insidious. Although it does not manifest extraordinary phenomena in the world with every move of the "Zhouliu Liuxu Gong", it has more of the meaning of "gods and men have no merit, and saints have no name".

As the twin swords of Xuanhuo and Sushui approached, Ren Shaoyang raised his eyebrows, flicked his wrist, and his longsword emitted a burst of crystalline sword light.

An immense potential surged from the sword, causing the air to ripple like water.

Xuanhuo and Sushui's clothes fluttered inexplicably, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end. They felt a strange force approaching, chaotic and indescribable.

In an instant, their sword techniques, which reversed the order of Yin and Yang and defied the laws of Heaven and Earth, suddenly became discordant.

Ren Shaoyang, sword in hand, slowly approached, without using any special moves, simply flicking and deflecting the tip of his sword.

Xuanhuo and Sushui felt a heat in their palms, and their internal energy burst out uncontrollably.

They were terrified and hastily withdrew their swords and leaped back.

Unexpectedly, Ren Shaoyang changed his attack from deflection to pressing down, and with a light touch, he pressed down with his sword. Wherever the sword light touched, the flesh of the two men trembled violently, and they stood frozen in place like clay sculptures.

Seeing that Xuanhuo and Sushui were subdued by a single sword strike, the remaining three rushed forward with flashing swords, their swords flashing like lightning, stabbing and killing in quick succession.

In an instant, the three formed a formation, and the power of "Reverse Sword Formation" increased dramatically.

Ren Shaoyang glanced at it and immediately saw the clue: the Five Ancestors of the Reverse Sword were swords formed from the five elements, which complemented each other perfectly, but the water and fire swords were missing, so the five elements were incomplete and could not complement each other.

It can be said that it is more than capable of defending against enemies, but not enough to win.

Upon noticing this discord, Ren Jianshen immediately moved with his sword, pointing in a direction and shouting, "Hmph!"

Xuan Huo and Su Shui's internal energy surged wildly, causing them to lose control of their bodies. Their longswords bypassed Ren Shaoyang and slashed down at the three of them.

The three were taken aback. Bai raised his white eyebrows, dodged the sword, and glared angrily at the two men.

Xuanhuo and Sushui trembled like Wu Lao Er, unable to control themselves, staggering a few steps. If Jiaotu and Xianmu hadn't supported them, they probably would have fallen to the ground.

"Strange, strange, truly strange!" Chi Jin shouted. "Everyone, this person is skilled in 'using the opponent's strength against them, and controlling qi with qi.' Be careful!"

Jiao Tu also shouted, "Let us join forces and use the power of the five elements to break his evil technique!"

"it is good!"

The crowd responded immediately, forming a circle according to their respective five elemental positions, and sword light suddenly flared up. Red, yellow, blue, brown, and gold sword energies surged forth like a hurricane, raging like wild snakes, closing in from all sides!

Ren Shaoyang smiled faintly, neither dodging nor avoiding. Under the reflection of "Heart and Mind Movement", the flow of the Five Ancestors' strength was as clear as the lines on a palm.

Taking advantage of the momentum, he unleashed the "Flowing Wine Sword," his figure seemingly transforming into several people, instantly delivering a sword strike to everyone around him.

The swords flashed and crisscrossed, interspersed with straight and oblique strikes, yet the speed and rhythm were perfectly balanced, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

The Fifth Patriarch felt his internal energy surging wildly, beyond his control, causing his sword moves to deviate and attack his companions!
In an instant, a cacophony of clanging and banging filled the air, creating a chaotic mess.

The Five Ancestors of the Rebellious Sword staggered backward, their defeat imminent. Chi Jin, the most powerful among them, shouted, "Change formation!"

The four quickly changed their footwork, their sword techniques shifting. The five-colored sword energy flowed and merged into one, transforming into a roaring sword wheel. Sword energy surged, heaven and earth resonated, and the five men, their hair and beards flying wildly, their blood surging, charged forward like lightning.

Ren Shaoyang shifted his body to the side and thrust his sword into the center of the sword wheel with a swift motion.

Unexpectedly, this formation was mysterious and strange. When it struck the core of the formation, the person felt invisible and formless, with their entire body feeling empty and transparent.

"middle!"

With a loud shout, the five swords clashed, effectively blocking the "Dragon Capture" sword!
Chi Jin chuckled: "Sword God Ren, the Reverse Sword Sect is the nemesis of the Sword Sect."

Xianmu laughed heartily: "It is the nemesis of all sword techniques under heaven!"

Jiao Tu sneered, "No matter what sword technique you use today..."

Xuanhuo shouted, "This is 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin'!"

Hayami said in a sinister voice, "Under the 'Five Elements Without Dao,' defeat and death are inevitable!"

While the five men were grappling with Ren Shaoyang, they kept talking amongst themselves.

Ren Shaoyang suddenly asked, "You become ineffective without swords?"

Ga?
The five men suddenly fell silent, their faces showing embarrassment.

The Sword God is right; the Reverse Sword Sect is the nemesis of all sword techniques in the world. However, aside from sword techniques, it cannot counter any other moves!

This is a scam!
Ren Shaoyang smiled slightly at their constipated expressions: "Don't worry, with swordsmanship, you are still no match for me."

Chi Jin coldly replied, "Speaking nonsense!"

"Is it?"

Ren Shaoyang smiled smugly, then suddenly his eyes blazed as he glanced at him sideways.

Crimson Heart jumped, but it was too late to dodge. His mind went slightly hazy, and his sword veered off course, stabbing straight at Blazing Fire!

Ren Shaoyang had a clear understanding of the situation. Chi Jin and Xuan Huo were both impatient and subtly at odds with each other, which caused their cooperation to break down. Ren Shaoyang seized the opportunity and suddenly used the "Bright Eyes" technique to disrupt Chi Jin's mind.

bass!
The sword flashed like lightning, catching Xuanhuo off guard. Each strike landed squarely on his chest, blood gushing from his chest as he collapsed to the ground. "Xuanhuo!" Chijin cried out in shock, overwhelmed with shame and resentment.

Ren Shaoyang laughed heartily, then with a flick of his arm, he unleashed four swift horizontal and vertical slashes with his sword.

The four men brandished their swords to defend themselves, but then they saw "Dragon Capture" flash with a blue light, blazing fiercely, and suddenly it entangled the four swords, causing them to clash.

With a few clanging sounds, the four swords shattered into pieces on the ground.

These swords, renowned for their unparalleled sharpness, were suddenly severed today, leaving everyone astonished.

At that moment, Ren Shaoyang's figure moved swiftly, like a flying goose or a flash of lightning, his long sword appearing and disappearing in an instant.

Chi Jin suddenly felt a chill penetrate his chest, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, hot blood gushing from his chest, instantly staining his clothes red.

"Crimson gold!" The remaining three were utterly devastated, their souls leaving their bodies as they cried out in grief.

Just then, a soft laugh was heard, and a white shadow flickered beside Jiao Tu and Xian Mu. In the blink of an eye, they screamed and fell to the ground, spitting blood.

Hayami roared angrily, "Sword God, you're so ruthless! Ugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a "thud" sound, and the tip of the sword pierced through his chest.

"Hey!"

Ren Shaoyang retreated with his sword, and Su Shui fell to the ground, blood gushing from his left chest.

After glancing at the fallen men, he strolled toward Xuan Huo, who was gasping for breath.

"It seems that the Reverse Sword Sect cannot break through my sword techniques."

Xuanhuo coughed up blood and gritted his teeth, saying, "You're not pure!"

"It just works."

"You dare call yourself the Sword God!"

"It's not like I gave it to myself," Ren Shaoyang said calmly. "Say what you want."

"You!" Xuanhuo's eyes were bloodshot as he glared for a long time before finally bowing his head in despair. "Grant me death!"

"it is good."

Without another word, Ren Shaoyang unleashed a sword flower with a sudden flick of his longsword, causing blood to spurt from Xuan Huo's neck. After a brief convulsion, Xuan Huo died instantly.

He glanced at the corpses around him, stomped his foot, and with a "crack," the blazing longsword broke into several pieces. He smiled slightly: "I kept my word." With a flicker, he vanished from the spot.

The restaurant was deserted, with only Xiongwu lying on the floor, looking miserable.

His legs were dislocated, and his whole body was in spasm, almost resulting in high-level paraplegia, making it impossible for him to walk.

Seeing Ren Shaoyang arrive again, he turned pale and said in a trembling voice, "You, you killed General Shi, you killed the Five Ancestors of the Rebellious Sword, and now you want to kill me?"

Ren Shaoyang said calmly, "If I want to kill you, I won't allow you to waste your breath." He lightly stomped his foot.

With a whoosh, Xiongwu sprang into the air, his legs cracking and screaming in pain. But when he landed, he was perfectly fine.

Xiongwu stared blankly at his legs, then asked incredulously, "Why did you save me?"

"The purpose of treating your injuries is to deliver a message to Emperor Wuchang," Ren Shaoyang said coldly. "You don't have the resources or strength to fight us three fierce villains. If you still want to fight, we'll see you through to the end."

Xiongwu was speechless, and exclaimed in surprise, "You're threatening the Emperor?"

Ren Shaoyang chuckled and said, "Wasn't I obvious enough?"

Xiongwu seemed to wake from a dream, and scrambled downstairs.

Ren Shaoyang narrowed his eyes, his expression unreadable.

To him, these people were easy to kill, but killing them might just draw Wenlong out.

As mentioned earlier, this person was the true emperor, but he was physically weak and his ambitions lay elsewhere, which is why he abdicated the throne to his twin brother, Wuchang.

Most importantly, Wenlong and Wu Wudi were close friends, and Wenlong even learned the "Xuanwu True Skill" from him, making his "Ten Directions Invincible" extremely fierce.

The auspicious time is approaching, and the dragon-slaying is imminent.

If Wenlong and even Wu Wudi are brought here at this time, and they join forces with Tianmen Di Shitian to surround and block them, the situation will inevitably change unexpectedly.

Letting Xiongwu go is to leave the court some leeway, and it is also a casual move in the game.

“This turmoil doesn’t seem to be the work of Emperor Shitian.” Ren Shaoyang narrowed his eyes. “Could it be that old tortoise?”
-
Above the East China Sea.

The wind howled in fury, and the waves surged backward.

On the vast blue waves, there is a small reef, about three zhang square.

On the rocks sat a bald old man with a snow-white beard, wearing a green robe, and a short, stocky build, resembling a large tortoise. He was smiling with his eyes half-closed, casting his line to fish, which was quite bizarre.

Suddenly, the old man's smile vanished, he glanced westward, and his white eyebrows furrowed.

"They actually spared one of them!"

"The cultivation technique that this kid comprehended from the dragon turtle is truly astonishing. If we don't break his state of 'union with the Dao,' I'm afraid no one in the world can subdue him!"

The old man looked worried, resting his chin on his hand and muttering to himself.

"To be able to gather power and destroy an enemy from a thousand miles away with just a flick of a finger—this kind of martial art is truly terrifying!"

"Even the greatest calamity of all time is nothing more than this!"
