In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 264 You dare to be my enemy?

"Backlash of sword intent!" Many people exclaimed in surprise at this moment.

Under normal circumstances, there will be no problem in releasing martial arts intent, as it is a power engraved in one's soul.

But there are exceptions.

For example, this kind of thing clearly uses extraordinary means to unleash power far beyond one's own limits, causing extremely great damage to both the body and the soul!

Not to mention, facing Shen Xing's second-stage dragon form, this immense sword intent was completely shattered before it could be truly unleashed.

This is why Shen Xing did not draw his sword, but chose to face the sword intent directly.

Once this move is dealt with, the person will be half dead without him even having to do anything!

At this moment, the Sword Maiden had completely turned into a bloody mess, and all her sword intent had completely collapsed. As for Shen Xing, who had transformed into a divine dragon, he only had a few wounds.

The outcome of the exchange is already quite clear.

Aside from feeling sorry for Jian Ji, the rest of the people present could only marvel at Shen Xing.

"As expected of a dragon! Only the legendary true dragons could possess such power!"

"Lord of all beasts!"

"Only after the fall of the true dragon will it be the era of our human race!"

"I never imagined I'd see traces of the dragon race again in my lifetime!"

"It's a pity about Sword Maiden. She was able to unleash such power at the mid-stage of the fourth realm. If she hadn't died, she might have truly become a saint in the future, or at least a sun-level expert."

"Those are the future sun and moon!"

"That's the style of the Ancient Sword Sect. Countless talented individuals have been ruined by the Ancient Sword Sect."

"It's all or nothing; this school of thought is too extreme."

"."

Amidst the clamor and uproar, the elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, facing the defeat and near death of his prodigy, showed no further reaction, remaining expressionless as he flew towards the almost lifeless swordswoman.

It seems they intend to take it away.

This is also the consistent practice of the Ancient Sword Sect. If a disciple dies in a formal challenge, they will only collect the disciple's body and will not do anything else.

They won't retaliate, and they don't even seem to feel any pain.

This is the Ancient Sword Sect.

However, what seemed perfectly normal to those around him was, in Shen Xing's eyes, filled with something strange.

In particular, this Fiora came straight for a move that was almost mutually destructive.

What kind of sect would allow such a prodigy to use such a move to challenge someone with whom they have no grudge?

This has even exceeded the purpose of "cultivation," and even "poisonous insect" style cultivation would not be like this.

"Wait a moment." Shen Xing's figure transformed back into human form, landing first beside the Sword Maiden. He narrowed his eyes at the elder, "Doesn't your Ancient Sword Sect owe me an explanation?"

His voice soared and resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and everyone could hear it clearly.

The elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, a cultivator at the Mountain and Sea Realm, froze.

The sword intent deep within his gaze seemed to burn even hotter.

However, he remained silent.

"What explanation?" he asked, his words devoid of any emotion.

"What explanation?" Shen Xing scoffed. "I agreed to a sparring match, but not with this kind of life-or-death struggle. This is meaningless; only mortal enemies would use such a method. I'd like to know what grudge I have against your Ancient Sword Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the buzzing sound in the venue became much more noticeable.

Some people also realized what was happening.

indeed so.

Although the people of the Ancient Sword Sect are said to be crazy, no matter how crazy they are, it is all for the sake of becoming stronger. But how can such self-destructive techniques make them stronger?

Even if you win, you'll be half-crippled!

"There is no enmity between us; this is the style of our Ancient Sword Sect," said the Mountain and Sea Realm expert. "Step aside. Disciples of our sect, even in defeat, shall be buried within the sect."

"Hehe." Shen Xing laughed. "Whether there's a grudge or not isn't for you to decide. If I believe there is, then there is!"

"."

The Mountain and Sea Realm expert from the Ancient Sword Sect didn't say much, but his hand was already gripping the hilt of the sword in his robes.

Although there was no sound, this action startled Shan Hai of Tianyuan Sect.

"Calm down, please calm down." Bai Yu rushed over, already extremely cautious.

He knew perfectly well that the Ancient Sword Sect was a bunch of madmen who would draw their swords and attack at the slightest provocation, and once they did, they would unleash extraordinary power!

Even if several members of the Ancient Sword Sect were to attack them from the Mountain and Sea realms, they would still have to worry about losing a few of their own.

It was precisely this madman-like behavior and terrifying combat power that forged the reputation of the Ancient Sword Sect.

However, Shen Xing was naturally not afraid.

All you need to do is return to the Human Federation instantly after drawing your sword, and then come back again, and the enemy will be crippled.

This kind of technique, which only has one move, has been completely countered by him!

Not to mention, where is this? This is the exit of the secret realm, his territory!

"No need to say more!"

As soon as Shen Xing raised his hand, a dragon's roar suddenly resounded between heaven and earth, and an aura that surpassed the sun and moon rose into the sky. That was a technique from the Xuanlong Secret Realm!

Even this elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, who was at the Mountain and Sea Realm, had a change in expression.

"You want to be an enemy of my Ancient Sword Sect?" His aura had reached its peak.

"What a joke!" Shen Xing's tone was full of sneer, as if he had heard something hilarious. "You think you're worthy to be my enemy?"

sulfuric acid--!

This ancient swordsman from the Mountain and Sea Sect actually drew his sword directly!

In that instant, the world changed color, and the sword intent that condensed was far superior to that of the Sword Maiden before. Everyone even felt that the world turned piercingly white, and their entire body, including their vision, hearing, consciousness, and even every pore and every inch of skin, felt as if they were being cut by a knife!

Some people even screamed in agony as fine wounds began to appear on their bodies!

This is the eruption of the Ancient Sword Sect's Mountain and Sea!

Even Bai Yu's expression changed drastically at this moment.

"Madman! He really is a madman!" At this moment, he truly felt the crisis of life and death. Even if he blocked this sword, he would have to pay a heavy price, and the entire sect could be severely damaged!

But at this moment, a deafening dragon roar easily drowned out the boundless sword intent!

"roll!"

Shen Xing let out a roar, and the dragon's cry shook the heavens and earth, causing all the Mountain and Sea Sword Intent to collapse!

This elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, who was at the Mountain and Sea Realm, was even torn to pieces in an instant, and the backlash was far greater than that of the Sword Maiden!

As a result, his soul shattered, torn apart layer by layer, and then shattered again, revealing the appearance of the innermost sword soul. But even this sword soul shattered once more!

Under Shen Xing's roar, their souls and bodies were completely annihilated!

After all, this move was not Shen Xing's own power, but rather he borrowed the methods of the Xuanlong Secret Realm. Under the premise of consuming dragon crystals, it could even unleash a strike comparable to the sun and moon!

No matter how hard this Ancient Sword Sect's Mountain and Sea Sect member fought, he was like an ant beneath this Mountain and Sea Sect!

None of the weaklings present knew what had happened. Even those in the Spirit Realm were seeing their eyes glazed over, and everything around them was shaking. But those from the mountains and seas could still barely make out what had just happened.

Their expressions changed drastically.

"Using the power of the sun and moon to kill Shan Hai of the Ancient Sword Sect is a taboo of the Ancient Sword Sect!" Bai Yu's expression turned somewhat terrified. "The Ancient Sword Sect will never let this go, and may even send out their entire force!"

Clearly, this has happened before in history.

A Mountain and Sea Realm expert attacked a Spirit Realm expert from the Ancient Sword Sect. After that, the Ancient Sword Sect mobilized all its forces, with all its Sun and Moon Realm experts attacking simultaneously, launching a massive battle without holding back. In that battle, two Sun and Moon Realm experts even perished!

Even the unspoken rule of not harming juniors was truly established at that time!

Now, Shen Xing has killed Shan Hai with the power of the sun and moon in the secret realm, which is a taboo!

The four Sun-Moon level experts from the Ancient Sword Sect had come out in full force, right before their eyes, and their target was still their Tianyuan Sect. How could Bai Yu not be terrified!

Even some Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators who were not from the Tianyuan Sect turned pale at this moment.

Clearly, they had also imagined that horrific scene.

"Young Master Shen." Bai Yu opened his mouth, but held back, though he couldn't control his resentment.

Shen Xing was naturally unafraid of the Ancient Sword Sect's threat. He could hide in the secret realm and even leave at will. However, the Tianyuan Sect could neither escape nor resist. They would bear the Ancient Sword Sect's wrath in Shen Xing's place. Even the Sun and Moon Ancestor would be helpless and would be in great danger.

The ancient sword sect, which has been passed down for nearly eight thousand years, is on the verge of extinction, and all of this is because of the casual move of the person in front of us!

However, Shen Xing paid no attention to the emotions of the Tianyuan Sect members. He simply narrowed his eyes and said, "Did you notice? This person's soul core?"

"What?" Bai Yu was taken aback.

"That was a sword," Shen Xing said, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he had witnessed something quite amusing. "This person forged his own soul into a sword, a sword that contained only sword intent. Everything else—emotions, memories, self—was merely a scabbard, a scabbard riddled with cracks, threatening to shatter at any moment!"

Yes, Shen Xing saw it clearly.

He now understood why the people of the Ancient Sword Sect were all like that.

It is important to understand that the divine soul is not an empty spirit, but rather the power manifested under extraordinary rules, representing the essence of a person's will, emotions, self, personality, and so on.

This is why martial artists emphasize willpower, and the artistic conception of martial arts also emphasizes the degree of matching.

This so-called match is less about "talent" and more about personality.

For the vast majority of martial artists, as long as they choose a martial arts realm that matches their own, their personality will not change much.

For example, Shen Xing.

His soul had taken the shape of a dragon, but this "dragon" contained all his self, including his memories and personality.

So he is still himself.

However, the people of the Ancient Sword Sect are different.
