Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 197 Stealing Sword Techniques, A Bewildering and Confused World

"A disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect, huh? Let's collect some interest first."

When Lu Wubing spoke, his aged voice was filled with deep resentment, like frosted glass being scratched by a steel needle, making one's eardrums itch and one's heart feel extremely uncomfortable.

What bothered Yue Lingfeng and the woman in purple the most was his swordsmanship.

Once the sword technique was unleashed, it was as if a vast, raging sea appeared before one's eyes.

It roared and threatened to overturn and crush everything.

This is not an illusion, but reality.

At the same time, he attacked the two men with his sword, leaving them completely isolated and helpless, fighting alone.

"It's Gu Qingyun from the East Sea. Brother Yue, show us all your skills, or you'll die here."

A short sword suddenly appeared in the purple-clad woman's hand, and her eyes became dazed, as if she were looking at nothing in front of her, but rather at the void.

He shouted rapidly, but his sword moved even faster.

With a leap, he created countless holes amidst the raging waves of sword energy.

The seemingly real yet illusory sword waves, once struck by her, immediately transformed into water droplets and then vanished into nothingness.

It actually broke through by sheer force.

'What a remarkable connection across three lifetimes.'

Lu Wubing was slightly surprised.

He had long heard Shen Xinzhu talk about the wonders of the Three Lives Consciousness, the supreme divine skill of the Demonic Sect's Reincarnation Hall.

Knowing the inner workings of this martial art, it is said that one can see through everything, including past and present lives. Those who cultivate this art are naturally invincible and can break through any kind of martial art.

Upon taking over, they realized that Shen Xinzhu's explanation was still somewhat insufficient.

This is not only capable of breaking all martial arts techniques, but it even breaks one's own sword intent.

Although it was a copy of the East Sea School's [Azure Wave Sword Intent], in Lu Wubing's hands, it was not only no weaker than the original, but even had the hidden power of [Yang Reality], which could solidify the illusory.

In other words, when Lu Wubing made his move, every inch of his sword intent transformed into real seawater.

It really can crush a person to death.

Destroy everything in layers upon layers.

The ground was scraped clean of a layer of rocks, creating a deep pit that stretched more than three feet into the ground.

Even with this kind of sword intent, the woman in purple could easily break through it.

It also has the power to retaliate.

Not only is his cultivation profound, having mastered innate true qi, but his sword intent has also progressed considerably in the [Yin Void] realm... Furthermore, he possesses the [Three Lives Consciousness] divine skill protecting him. Even if one attacks this woman with all one's might, a single set of Azure Wave Sword Technique is still insufficient to harm her.

It was well hidden.

The thought flashed through my mind.

Lu Wubing did not continue to exert more force to force out the purple-clad woman's trump card. Instead, he quietly increased his strength against Yue Lingfeng.

Because he discovered that when his senior brother made his move, his demeanor suddenly changed, and his sword aura became as majestic as a mountain, as if it had been ground down a thousand times and would never be destroyed.

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

If the purple-clad woman's swordsmanship and divine skills surprised Lu Wubing, then his senior brother's quick thinking surprised him even more.

He finally understood why, after being defeated by the Pig King, he was able to survive and even make it to the Pig King's banquet.

Yue Lingfeng's internal strength might not be considered too profound, barely reaching the threshold of the second rank, but his swordsmanship was truly amazing.

It wasn't just the sword he wielded; it seemed as if the entire world was cheering him on.

With a flash of sword light, it transformed into a mountain. Even with Lu Wubing's eyesight and mental strength, he almost couldn't tell whether this majestic mountain was real or fake.

Looking at the verdant mountains and lush greenery, they protected Yue Lingfeng completely, preventing him from being harmed.

boom……

A thousand waves of sword energy struck the mountain peaks.

Yue Lingfeng took five steps back, his jaw clenched, and a little blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but his swordplay remained steady.

'This is bad. If we keep attacking like this, we might not even get to him before we wear him down. This guy's really stubborn.'

Lu Wubing was both amused and exasperated.

Thinking that his senior brother might really see him as a formidable enemy and come looking for him, he activated his defensive ultimate move and stopped caring about anything else, just stubbornly holding on.

There's no such thing as a change in circumstances.

He saw through the huge gap in strength between the two sides at a glance and never even considered launching a counterattack.

"I'm here to learn swordsmanship. How am I supposed to learn if you don't show me the moves?"

Lu Wubing was slightly dumbfounded, but then a plan came to mind.

However, recalling the pleasant conversation between Yue Lingfeng and the girl in purple, feeling as if they had known each other for a long time, he immediately changed his sword technique.

Use the sword as a knife.

【Layered Waves】

This time, however, they overlooked Yue Lingfeng and focused their attack on one person.

The sword light flashed in succession, as if transforming into a tailless azure dragon, its scales flipping forward layer by layer.

Each glint of scales flashed forward, revealing a sword shadow.

Hundreds and thousands of sword lights overlapped, transforming into a torrent of blades that roared and spun, threatening to cleave the purple-clad girl in two.

"Qinghua girl."

A furious roar rang in his ears, as if his ancestral graves had been dug up, and Yue Lingfeng was enraged beyond measure.

His eyes were red, and he unleashed his sword again, now merging into the wind and transforming into raging thunder.

boom……

A loud bang.

Two figures had escaped from Lu Wubing's Overlapping Waves Sword Style, just like a bolt of lightning striking down from the sky.

This is not over yet.

After the sword flashed past like lightning, Yue Lingfeng's swordplay became circular, and countless white mists were generated around him, forming a huge cloud that swept around with the gale, making it impossible to see where he was going.

It seemed as if it wanted to flee far away.

It's like standing still...

[The winds of change are unpredictable, the sword transforms into thunder!]

The purple-clad girl, whose arm was being pulled by Yue Lingfeng to dodge, glanced at Yue Lingfeng with a look of surprise, and the powerful energy emanating from her body quietly subsided.

As before, it was simply a matter of recognizing the sword and countering its moves.

Coincidentally, when Lu Wubing saw this sword technique, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he thought to himself that he had learned it.

He keenly sensed a subtle, mysterious fluctuation within the changes in Yue Lingfeng's swordplay.

I will remember it firmly.

Of all my thoughts, seven-tenths are constantly being rehearsed deep within my mind.

not enough.

Still not enough.

Although Lu Wubing's sword intent was strong, he couldn't use his signature [Eight Subduing Dragon Swords] to forcefully kill his opponent at this moment, because this was not an enemy at all.

Instead, he was a foolish senior disciple who was infatuated with beauty.

You really don't see him risking his life like this unless it's a critical moment.

The most outrageous.

When he was fighting himself, his swordsmanship was only average and not particularly impressive.

However, when he hits the beautiful woman beside him, he immediately goes into overdrive.

His swordsmanship was only at its peak, yet he unleashed its full power.

Lu Wubing estimated that his senior brother had used every ounce of strength he had.

Not only Lu Wubing noticed it.

Ouyang Lan, who was hiding in the shadows of a tree, also felt she couldn't bear to watch and secretly spat.

He thought to himself, "No wonder my father punishes me from time to time."

There are just too many of these problems; I simply don't know where to begin teaching them.

Although his mother doted on him as her eldest disciple, she would usually plead for him.

Later on, I got tired of talking about it. He was thick-skinned and had a fixed personality. No amount of scolding could change him, so I just let him be.

However, his parents would never have imagined that their eldest brother had such a fatal weakness.

He couldn't move when he saw a woman...

They don't even care whether the other party is friend or foe; as long as they are compatible, they will immediately entrust their lives to each other.

What can one say about this?
Ouyang Lan on this side was extremely anxious.

Lu Wubing, who was just pretending to draw his sword, was about to show some of his real skills.

Well, if 20% isn't enough, then we'll use 30%.

His sword light changed again.

From the cascading waves, it transforms into the [Severed Water Flow].

It integrates the knife style into the sword style, and takes the Azure Wave Sword Technique as its foundation.

He discovered that the swordsmanship of the East Sea Sword Sect and the swordsmanship of the Eastern Barbarian swordsmanship master seemed to originate from the same school.

The sword techniques of both sides can be combined and interchanged. It is unknown whether there is any connection between their ancestors.
Lu Wubing had no intention of delving into these old stories.

He just took it and used it...

With a flash of sword light, the azure sword intent, which was just a fraction away from solidifying from the ethereal, became perfectly real in an instant.

He flashed forward, his sword light as bright as snow, slicing through thick clouds, cutting away boundless thunder, and finally striking the girl in purple.

By the way, Yue Lingfeng has already called out this woman's name. Sometimes he calls her Miss Huo, and sometimes he calls her Qinghua.

Rumor has it that the Wheel King was surnamed Huo back then, but it's unknown whether there is any connection between them.
This thought flashed through Lu Wubing's mind.

This time, the sword will show no mercy.

If you can't stop them, then die.

The Azure Wave Sword Intent, refined to the [Yang Realm] by the East Sea Sword Sect, merged with the explosive strike of the Water-Severing Flow. He was confident that even a mountain or a river before him could be severed with a single sword strike.

"My life is over!"

Huo Qinghua raised his short sword again and slashed down.

This time, she wasn't dragged along by Yue Lingfeng. Instead, she stood suspended in mid-air, her clothes fluttering, surrounded by a mysterious dark blue aura.

A chilling aura, penetrating through the cleaved clouds, followed Lu Wubing's sword light and penetrated straight into his heart.

Past and present lives flash by in an instant.

Lu Wubing seemed to see the hardships of his past life, his parents' disappointment, his children's longing, and also the momentary unwillingness of dying suddenly in front of the computer, his heart clenching.

If there is an afterlife...

Various thoughts swept through my mind.

It's hard to tell whether Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, or the butterfly dreamt he was Zhuangzi.

For a fleeting moment, he couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or not, whether he was sitting at his computer desk having a dream.

break……

Strange and bizarre thoughts flashed through his mind, only to be shattered by Lu Wubing's Subduing Dragon Heart Sword, leaving his mind like the North Star, suspended high in the sky.

He suppressed his mind and spirit, a slight glimmer of killing intent stirring within him.

puff……

Huo Qinghua's face drained of color, revealing a deathly pale complexion. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of crimson blood, his eyes filled with genuine fear.

She used her most powerful trump card, the Three Lives Rewind, and used her own heart to represent the will of Heaven. With a single sword strike, she cleaved the incoming sword, but it seemed as if she saw a golden eye devoid of any emotion appear in the sky.

They looked at me coldly, as if I were an ant.

The sea of ​​consciousness trembled, causing a backlash to occur.

Huo Qinghua vomited blood and fell backward as his body leaned back. His whole body was slightly sore and numb, and his breathing was sluggish.

This time it's really over.

Huo Qinghua felt extremely remorseful.

On the way back from Tianxing Peak, he planned to swindle the sword genius of Tianxing Sect to serve him in a difficult matter.

The plan was successful.

The opponent's swordsmanship was far more amazing than he had imagined.

But the plan failed.

Unexpectedly, a crazy old man with incredibly powerful swordsmanship suddenly appeared from some corner.

This person's physique and swordsmanship look very similar to Gu Qingyun of the East Sea Sword Sect.

That was her initial assumption as well.

But after actually exchanging a few blows, she immediately rejected the idea.

If Gu Qingyun were that powerful, he wouldn't have stayed by the sea and managed his sect in such a sorry state.

His son and grandson are all dead.

I've heard that all the elite disciples in the sect have perished, and it now exists in name only.

Of course, it is certain that this person is not Gu Qingyun. There is another crucial reason: at this moment, given the current state of affairs in the world, it is absolutely impossible for that Supreme Elder of the East Sea Sect to dare to attack him.

It's not necessary at all.

Who was pretending?
Huo Qinghua's mind raced, but he dared not expose her, and simply retreated hastily.

The expert pretending to be Gu Qingyun, who was forced to take a slight step back by his own move, "Three Lives Reincarnation," still possessed a formidable and domineering sword strike, even though its power had been reduced by 70%.

She wasn't very confident that Yue Lingfeng could stop him, and she secretly regretted it.

As it turns out, Huo Qinghua was somewhat mistaken.

The eldest brother may not have any other skills, but he is quite remarkable in front of women. He not only unleashes his full power repeatedly, but also uses the Nine Forms of Wind and Cloud Sword Technique in rotation.

It is extremely powerful.

Wind, cloud, thunder, lightning, metal, wood, water, fire, earth.

After using up the Nine Powers, all that remained before him was emptiness and vagueness. Yue Lingfeng had already dragged Huo Qinghua away for more than ten miles.

His right arm was bleeding, he ran unsteadily, his eyes were tired, and his chest was covered in a bloody stain.

Clearly, while the Nine Forms of Wind and Cloud are incredibly powerful, they are also extremely difficult to use.

Especially since he had just used a sword technique that he hadn't fully mastered, his internal organs were shaken, and his body was weak and powerless.

Fortunately, the crazy old man chasing behind him, for some unknown reason, was blocked by the sword light and fell into deep thought.

I don't know if it was because of an injury or because my mind suddenly went blank.

Surprisingly, they didn't pursue them again.

"Let's go, hurry up, this man is no match for us."

Yue Lingfeng's face was as bitter as a bitter gourd, but he didn't notice the strange look that flashed in the eyes of Huo Qinghua, the girl in purple.

Now, she has finally figured out a bit of the flavor.

So, that person wasn't after me after all.

They came for this silly kid in front of them, not for him.

Could it be that they want him to use the entire set of the Nine Magical Swords?
What's the harm in watching it once? You're not going to learn anything from it, are you?
Huo Qinghua couldn't understand it.

I simply don't want to think about it.

Rou Rou said:

"Thank you so much, Brother Yue, for saving me from danger twice in a row. You have saved my life..."

"Well, Miss Huo, what are you saying? We hit it off immediately. Your business is my business, so there's no need for thanks."

If I hadn't only recently mastered this swordsmanship, that person wouldn't have been able to leave today..."

Yue Lingfeng let out a long breath and relaxed a little. He had just boasted and felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time, a bitter feeling rose in his heart.

He thought to himself, if that junior brother were here and encountered such a powerful old man with strong swordsmanship, he probably wouldn't be in such a sorry state, right?

No, he will not only not be embarrassed, but will also kill the masked old man with a few sword strokes.

Thinking back to that impromptu banquet at the Pig King's mansion in Shuangjiang County, Lu Wubing's sword flashed like lightning...

After he used all his strength to block it, the sword only swayed slightly before he was knocked to the ground and rolled around like a gourd.

He sighed again inwardly.

During the Three Sects Grand Competition, I was already far behind him, and I didn't even know how I lost.

He thought that after learning the supreme and powerful Nine Forms of Wind and Cloud, he would be able to surpass his junior brother and completely suppress him, so that he would no longer be able to put on airs in front of him.

The results of it.

They had just come down the mountain and hadn't even had a proper exchange of blows yet.

I just tried it, and the gap widened even further.

How embarrassing.

"Miss Huo, do you think there are people who have an amazing aptitude for swordsmanship, learning it at a glance, then mastering it through practice, and after a short while, immediately achieving perfection? They are beyond the reach of others..."

Yue Lingfeng felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Even if he were to boast, he couldn't come up with a way to defeat his junior brother. Could it be that he was really inferior to others?

Junior sister...

Thinking of his junior sister, he felt a pang of pain in his heart again.

Love and career, both completely ruined, a feeling of frustration and pain that most people cannot comprehend.

"Such a person doesn't exist, though they might exist in myths and legends. However, most of the time it's just people exaggerating and taking stories as fact."

Huo Qinghua smiled and said softly, "In my opinion, Brother Yue's talent in swordsmanship is truly unparalleled in my life."

"Give me a little time, and I'll be able to easily defeat that masked thief."

As Huo Qinghua offered these words of comfort, her pure and innocent heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She not only understood what Yue Lingfeng was thinking, but also confirmed that some of the information she had heard about the Tianxing Sect in the past was not false.

The intelligence report stated that Lu Wubing, the junior disciple of Tianxing Sect, possessed swordsmanship far superior to Yue Lingfeng, completely overwhelming him.

I heard that Yue Lingfeng couldn't even last three moves against this junior brother.

Judging from his appearance, it must be true.

So, who is that old man who isn't an old man, whose swordsmanship is so strong yet who showed such mercy?

As far as she knew, no one in the entire Tianxing Sect, not even the sect leader Ouyang Zheng, was this powerful.

On this route, in the dead of night, such a master appeared.

In any case, it cannot be a coincidence.

Thinking this to himself, Huo Qinghua didn't show it on the surface. He praised Yue Lingfeng a couple more times, then turned around and joined up with his men who had returned from their escape. They changed their route overnight and headed straight west.

……

"Why don't you chase me anymore?"

Ouyang Lan jumped out from behind the tree, her face filled with shock.

I saw it clearly just now.

Seeing her junior brother defeat her senior brother and the even more powerful woman, she felt exhilarated but also somewhat regretful.

Guilty sin.

Why do I want to see the junior brother beat up the senior brother? I must be sick.

Her face flushed, and she quickly explained, "I'm just a little worried that you might not have learned the sword technique after watching it once."

Anyway, she didn't learn anything.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother was really risking his life when he got into danger because of that girl. He practiced all his moves. Every move was perfect and full of energy, extremely exquisite. He didn't hold back at all. How could you not learn it?"

Lu Wubing almost burst out laughing.

The destiny chart "[Heaven rewards diligence]" indicates that one has already mastered the basics of "[Nine Forms of Wind and Cloud, Ape Sword Technique]".

From now on, all you need to do is practice hard.

……
