Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

At this moment, not far away.

Zhang Yun had already flown to a vast, ruined square.

This place once seemed to be a market in a lost city, with the ground paved with large black stone slabs, but now it is uneven and overgrown with weeds.

The houses surrounding the square have long since collapsed, leaving only a few lonely stone pillars standing silently like tombstones.

Zhang Yun rode the Moonlit Unicorn and slowly landed in the center of the square.

He turned around and looked at Kitano who was chasing after him.

At that moment, Kitano also arrived on his flying shuttle, leaped down, and landed at the edge of the square.

He crossed his two swords, one long and one short, in front of him. Black true energy surged from the swords like two entwined venomous snakes, exuding a surging murderous aura!

In the next instant, he swung out both his long and short swords simultaneously!

"Triple Slash of the Killing Blade!"

Without wasting a single word, Kitano unleashed three black blade beams in a triangular pattern, aiming straight for Zhang Yun!

The blade flashed like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound as it tore through the air, sending the stone slabs along its path flying!

Faced with this aggressive sword technique, Zhang Yun's expression darkened slightly. He remained mounted on the back of the Moonlit Unicorn, holding the Azure Dragon Thunder Halberd high.

The next instant, he unleashed a powerful strike with his halberd, lightning flashing like a dragon!

Boom—!

The blade's edge collided with the lightning, exploding into a sky full of sparks, like a purple sun exploding on the ground!

Stones rained down, dust billowed into the sky, and the entire square trembled violently under the impact!

Kitano was knocked back several steps, his feet carving two deep furrows in the stone slab, and his expression changed drastically.

"How is that possible?!"

"This kid's strength is actually stronger than my sword energy!"

He looked at Zhang Yun, who was still sitting upright on the back of the Moonlit Unicorn, and realized a serious problem!

He seemed to have underestimated the slave before him!

No...that's not true!

He used his Qi Observation Technique to look at Zhang Yun, and this guy was indeed only at the second level, so it was impossible for him to have such strength.

There's only one reason why he could so easily force me to back down...

His gaze fell on the Azure Dragon Halberd in Zhang Yun's hand, and a greedy glint flashed in his eyes!

Without a doubt, it must be a super soul weapon, its value far exceeding his imagination!

If he could get his hands on it, the rewards of his trip would be far greater than he could have imagined!

Thinking of this, Kitano could no longer suppress his greed, and a ruthless glint appeared on his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face:

"Killing Blade Storm!"

He waved his hands wildly, channeling his surging inner energy into his long and short swords.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—!

Countless black blade beams poured out like a torrential rain, slashing down on Zhang Yun in an overwhelming manner.

Those blades of light covered an extremely wide area, almost completely blocking Zhang Yun's path of advance!

Faced with such a large-scale skill, Zhang Yun remained calm, though a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"You are not as powerful as I thought."

He had no intention of making a move; instead, he tossed the skull from his arms away with a clatter.

The moment the skeleton landed with a thud, the golden soul fire in its eye sockets suddenly surged, like two miniature suns shining in the night!

Clang—!

The next instant, he drew his alloy longsword, and the golden sword light drew a perfect arc in the night!

Bang——! !

Countless black blade beams were swept away by this golden sword beam, and they all turned into billowing black mist and shattered!

"How is that possible?!"

Kitano was dumbfounded, utterly incredulous that the skeleton monster in Zhang Yun's arms possessed such swordsmanship!

This swordsmanship... is even more exquisite and terrifying than his knife skills!

Its sword energy was extremely domineering, and it couldn't even withstand the murderous aura of his Foundation Establishment cultivator. This was something he never expected!

At that moment, Kaka, moving like a ghost, began to charge.

Like a thin, dark golden thread, it weaves through the night, heading straight for Kitano!

Kitano's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected this tiny skeleton to be so incredibly fast!

He hurriedly swung his knife to block!

clang--!

Swords clashed, sparks flew!

Kitano felt a tremendous force surge from the blade into his arms like a tidal wave, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open, dripping with blood!

He slid back in horror, staring at Kaka in disbelief.

This skeleton... it has incredible power!

If it could repel me, it must have the combat power of a near-fourth-tier ghost general!

Kitano instinctively used his aura-gazing technique on the skeleton, but the result he got was terrifying!

"What the hell?!"

"This skeleton is only a second-tier ghost-level fighter?! This... how is this possible?!"

Kitano absolutely could not accept this outcome.

Keep in mind that he was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, equivalent to a third-tier Ferocious Ghost.

In the past, he slaughtered demons and ghosts, often able to challenge those of higher levels, and killing quasi-fourth-tier demon and ghost generals was no problem for him.

However, today, he was challenged by a second-tier ghost-level skeleton, which was beyond his level. How could he accept this!

Before he could think any further, Skeleton Kaka launched another attack!

He held the alloy longsword high in his hand, the tip pointing to the sky, and his whole being exuded an aura of righteousness.

The contrast between its skeletal appearance and its overall eerie nature is striking.

【The Nine Swords of Xuantian - First Form - Dawn Break!】

As the skeleton swung his sword with a series of sharp movements, golden sword light exploded on the blade like a miniature sun!

This sword strike was righteous and upright, like the rising sun dispelling the darkness!

The grandeur of the sword's momentum and the purity of its intent far surpassed any of Kaka's previous sword strikes!

At this moment, the entire square was illuminated by golden sword light!

It was as if daylight had arrived!

The broken stone pillars cast long shadows in the golden light, prostrating themselves like pilgrims towards the direction of the sword light!

"The Nine Swords of Xuan Tian?!"

Kitano's expression changed drastically, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

As a disciple of a rival sect to the Xuantian Immortal Sect, Bei Ye naturally had a good understanding of all the sword techniques of the Xuantian Sword Sect.

One of the most powerful sword techniques is the Nine Swords of the Mysterious Heaven!

In the Xuantian Immortal Sect, the assessment methods for entering the inner sect are constantly changing.

The conditions for entering the inner sect a hundred years ago are vastly different from those for entering the inner sect today.

But one thing remains unchanged.

That is, anyone who can comprehend the Nine Swords of Xuantian, even just one of the sword techniques, is qualified to enter the inner sect.

As the top immortal sect in the human realm of the Six Paths, the Xuantian Immortal Sect's inner sect is not easy to enter.

The minimum requirement is the Golden Core Realm.

For example, someone like Kitano is definitely a super genius on Card Planet.

However, he was not qualified to enter the inner sect of the Xuan Tian Sha Sect.

The difficulty of entering the inner sect of the Xuantian Immortal Sect is no less than that of the Xuantian Fiend Sect!

The vast majority of disciples who actually enter the inner sect of the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect rely on the Golden Core realm and comprehend the Xuan Tian Nine Swords; they are extremely rare!

This shows how difficult it is to master this set of sword techniques!

It is precisely because it is difficult to master that the power of the Nine Swords of Xuantian is so terrifying!

As the skeleton swung its sword, Kitano's blood instantly froze!

He could feel the righteous energy contained in that sword intent, which was the natural nemesis of the evil energy of the Xuan Tian Sha Sect. Moreover, this sword intent was powerful and terrifying, and difficult to defeat!

"ah--!"

Kitano let out a terrified scream, frantically urging his inner energy to parry with his long and short swords, the black energy condensing into a thick shield wall in front of him!

In an attempt to block this earth-shattering sword strike!

boom--!

The sword's edge pierced through the black shield wall, easily creating a penetrating effect.

"puff--!"

Kitano's body was pierced by a golden sword shadow, as if struck by lightning, and he was sent flying backward, his blood splattering in the sky!

His body was thrown through the air like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, carving a deep trench more than ten meters long, and smashing three stone pillars before he could barely regain his balance.

At this moment, Kitano knelt on one knee, his long and short swords stuck in the ground to support his body, blood gushing from his mouth, his arms trembling uncontrollably.

He looked up, his eyes wide with disbelief and deep fear.

He couldn't help but ask, trembling, "The Nine Swords of Xuan Tian, ​​are they only for righteous cultivators to learn...?"

"You...you damned ghost, how do you know the Nine Swords of Xuan Tian?!"
