As the Universe Turns - Chapter 287

Chapter 287 Killing Intent Approaching

Seeing that he was holding a branch in his hand, Tang Yu stopped her attack and smiled, “What? Do you want to use a branch to defeat Tang Mou’s Three-Foot Blue Sword?”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were fixed and he didn’t say anything else. At this moment, all he could think of was what his master had said on the Bipo Jade Stage in Purple Night Peak.

“Chen’er, the sword in your hand was shot down three times by your master because you were too obsessed with the sword in your hand. You must remember that the sword technique has undergone countless changes, and everything is empty. However, there is one thing that is true. If you can find the truth of the sword in your opponent’s hand, even if you do not have a sword in your hand, you can twist your finger and leave it as a sword. Do you understand?”

“One flower and one leaf can be swords … I understand. Master said that one flower and one leaf can be swords, not that one flower and one leaf can use the power of an immortal sword, but that as long as one finds the’real ‘part of the opponent’s sword move, one flower and one leaf can injure the opponent? Just like the sword in my hand that Master just shot down …”

“That’s roughly the case, but you have to remember that all living things are born with their own spirits. Moreover, there is also an immortal sword with their own spirits. If you kill too heavily, it is only a sword that can kill people. It is undesirable. I will pass the Heavenly Sword to you today, so you must use it wisely.”

“Chen’er understands. Thank you, Master, for teaching me today …”

…

The wind blew coldly. Xiao Chen remembered every word that Ling Yin had said in the past. At this moment, many people below were shaking their heads and frowning. It was almost impossible for him to defeat Tang Yu with a branch.

“Haha!”

Right at this moment, a loud laugh came from the crowd. Patriarch Nine Nether laughed loudly and said, “Do you see Tang? He dares to fight you with a tree branch. Do you dare to lose the sword that Elder Yuxuan passed on to you and fight others with your bare hands?”

“Humph! From ancient times until now, there has always been only one who has become a king and defeated an enemy. Underestimating the enemy is always courting death!”

Tang Yu’s eyes were ice-cold. For some reason, she suddenly became hostile. As soon as she finished speaking, she stabbed her sword at Xiao Chen. This sword strike was ferocious, and the green light on the sword flashed. In an instant, it turned into tens of thousands of sharp sword qi. Before Xiao Chen could move, his entire body was enveloped by this green sword curtain. It was no longer difficult to dodge!

“Ah!”

Seeing this thrilling scene, many disciples of Lianhua Palace cried out in shock. However, in the next instant, before they could see it clearly, Xiao Chen seemed to have disappeared from where he was. In another instant, he appeared beside Tang Yu, as if he had forcefully rushed out of the tens of millions of sharp sword qi. However, his clothes were not even damaged at all.

“It can’t be!”

Tang Yu was suddenly shocked. Could it be that he was able to see through his true and false location in an instant and unexpectedly found a flaw in his swordsmanship? No, absolutely impossible!

Just as he was about to stab again, his wrist suddenly hurt. This time, many people in the distance cried out in alarm. Although that scene was fast, they saw that the branch in Xiao Chen’s hand had actually hit Tang Yu’s wrist. If it wasn’t a branch, but an immortal sword as sharp as a azure sword, wouldn’t Tang Yu’s entire hand be gone?

“Big Senior Brother!”

Quite a few disciples of the Azure Rainbow Sect cried out in shock. That scene just now was too dangerous. This was just a branch. If it was a sword, what would happen?

Only Abbess Xian Qing and Abbess Yi Zhi were slightly calm. What was going on? Tang Yu’s swordsmanship wasn’t bad. How could this brat be able to see the truth at a glance? Moreover, he could use the other party’s weakness to attack the other party’s reality. Sure enough, only Ling Yin could teach such a disciple …

“You …”

Tang Yu’s eyes widened and her wrists went numb. However, the hostility in her eyes became even heavier. She actually ignored her recovery and forcefully attacked with another sword strike.

This sword attack was even faster. The azure sword qi that filled the sky enveloped Xiao Chen. Even the crowd that was a hundred feet away could feel an oppressive sword qi at this moment. They all cried out in alarm, “It’s the Cyanrainbow Sword Technique!” “It’s the Azure Rainbow Sword Technique!” “It’s the Azure Rainbow Sword Technique!”

The Azure Rainbow Sword Technique was originally called the Taiji Azure Rainbow Divine Sword Technique. It was originally created by the founding ancestor of the Azure Rainbow Sect, but was later modified by Daoist Yuxuan to reduce its offensive killing intent and increase its defensive sword technique by one layer, allowing everyone in the Azure Rainbow Sect to cultivate this sword Technique, thus renaming it as a simple four-word “Azure Rainbow Sword Sword Technique”.

However, Tang Yu was also good at making adjustments, causing his killing intent to multiply. He no longer had any defenses to speak of. At this moment, the Sword Qi that filled the sky was countless times more ferocious than the original Cyanrainbow Sword Technique. In fact, due to Tang Yu’s killing intent, the originally azure sword lights were faintly red inside!

“Tang Yu …”

Xian Qing and Yi Zhi had never expected that the killing intent in this Martial Nephew’s heart would unknowingly become so deep. Even the Cyanrainbow Sword Technique had been modified to be filled with killing intent. How could there still be a trace of the righteousness of the Profound Sect? Could it be that Senior Brother Yuxuan didn’t notice anything about this?

Without waiting for the two of them to think carefully, the azure-red sword light had already enveloped Xiao Chen layer upon layer. This time, the faces of the Lianhua Palace disciples had turned pale. “Young Master Xiao, be careful!”

Layers of sword Qi and killing intent filled the air. Even the crowd that was hundreds of feet away felt a chilling killing intent this time.

However, even though he was surrounded by tens of thousands of sharp sword Qi, Xiao Chen was still not in chaos. However, it was not an easy task to break through easily. He had no choice but to use the Ling Xian Steps and instantly transform into hundreds of shadows to break out of the encirclement.

“Him!”

Everyone was shocked. Fairy Miaoyin’s Ling Xian Step Fruit was well-deserved. The hundred shadows that Xiao Chen instantly formed were hard to distinguish. No matter how powerful Tang Yu’s swordsmanship was, it was inevitable that his eyes would be dazzled for a moment. He didn’t know where his next sword strike should go.

When the disciples of the Cyanrainbow Sect saw him display the Ling Xian Steps, their expressions changed. They all said, “We agreed not to use the cultivation technique of Venerable Yao Guang. What is this?”

“Haha!”

Patriarch Nine Nether laughed loudly, “Didn’t that Tang just say that? Since ancient times, he has always been a king and defeated a bandit. What kind of tricks do you have? Hahaha …”

“Shameless! How shameless!”

“All of you shut up!”

Tang Yu’s eyes had long since turned red. At this moment, his heart was in a state of chaos. How could he still hear those people shouting? Right now, he was unable to distinguish Xiao Chen’s true and false state. He could no longer care about that much. He slashed out a few times in a row, but only managed to defeat a few of Xiao Chen’s phantom shadows.

In the next instant, before he could see clearly, Xiao Chen’s true body had already arrived in front of him. This time, it came as fast as lightning. With a “bang”, the tree branch struck his left wrist forcefully. Before he could retaliate, Xiao Chen’s entire body appeared like a ghost. In an instant, he appeared behind him and heavily pointed at the “Spiritual Arena Acupoint” behind him.

“Ah!”

Tang Yu shouted loudly. The Azure Sharp Sword almost came out of his hand. When he turned around and was about to retaliate, he didn’t expect that Xiao Chen would be able to “draw out his sword” even faster. One of the swords landed on the “Shanzhong Acupoint” in his chest.

Lingtai acupoint and Danzhong acupoint were both fatal points. Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked. If Xiao Chen had an immortal sword instead of a tree branch in his hand, wouldn’t Tang Yu be dead by now?

It must be known that Tang Yu had already stepped into the Profound Sect for hundreds of years, and this Xiao Yichen had only risen to fame in the past ten years. To think that he actually possessed such extraordinary abilities, this person was truly too terrifying.

At this moment, no matter if it was the Righteous path, the 36 sects, or the disciples of Lianhua Palace, they all held their breaths.
