Chapter 548: Slay with a Single Sword, Sharpen Martial Arts Divine Skill - Part 2
But, to his horror, the gray-white sword seemed formless, almost an illusion, condensed from intent. When he struck, trying to block the gray-white sword, it passed through his curved blade and slashed downward.
Realizing something was amiss and wanting to change his defense against this eerie gray-white sword, it was already too late. He could only bellow, as a powerful force surged around him, forming a strong defense.
He used a secret technique to its fullest, even burning his own origin to form a powerful defense.
As the gray-white sword approached, he felt the presence of death.
Thud!
The gray-white sword, piercing through the defense, struck his body.
Death descended!
At that moment, the Realm Master's expression was one of terror, feeling as if his life force was being eroded, his physical body withering, and his Divine Soul ceasing to exist, overwhelmed by the terrifying sense of death.
"You!"
He looked towards Xu Yan in aghast, but after Xu Yan had swung his sword, he didn't even glance at him; instead, he moved directly towards one of the other two Realm Masters.
Thud!
The Realm Master from the Imperishable Temple, his life force extinguished, his body withered, his Divine Soul already dead and silenced, turned into a corpse that seemed long dead, in an instant!
A sword had claimed a life!
Buzz!
Xu Yan had already intercepted one of the remaining two, the World within the Sword emerged, enveloping the opponent directly.
"Come let me sharpen my Sword Dao!"
The Realm Master looked horrified, "You, how is it possible!"
A single stroke had killed his companion, not weaker than himself; to kill him must also be effortless, right?
At that moment, his heart trembled, wishing to flee.
"Run, you can't escape. Going all out might give you a chance to survive!"
Xu Yan said with a faint smile.
"I'll fight you!"
The Realm Master, realizing he seemed to be trapped within a domain and knowing escape was almost impossible, resolved to fight desperately!
"That's right!"
Xu Yan let out a merry laugh.
Boom!
Sword Intent emerged, Xu Yan began, from start to finish, to use his opponent to sharpen the Sword Dao, validating the new Sword Dao Technique, proving whether his insights were correct.
Xu Yan and that Realm Master fought fiercely, the World within the Sword vibrating, yet it never broke, and the aftershocks of the battle could not radiate out from the World within the Sword.
Meanwhile, the Azure Sea Turtle was ready to act at any moment, guarding against the Imperishable Temple person's lethal moves while also being vigilant about any escape attempts.
Three Realm Masters, one instantly fallen, another caught in a dire fight, the situation looked bleak, hence this one would surely think about escaping.
Meng Chong did not transform into a giant but simply wore the Golden Armor, looking like a muscular giant clad in golden armor, majestic, unleashing various Martial Arts Divine Skills at will.
Fang Hao immediately set up the Qimen Grand Formation, moving within it, leveraging the influence of Qimen to bind and disturb the opponent, then launching countless Divine Weapons from the Qimen Armory like a torrential flood.
The Formation combined with the Qimen Grand Formation, timing every step with an unpredictable Formation, making his figure elusive, even using a puppet's body to confuse the opponent and lure away the opponent's lethal hits.
Jiang Buping held the Extreme Path Soul Soldier, freely using Divine Skills to sharpen his own Martial Arts, continually attacking the opponent's Divine Soul.
The three teamed up, battling fiercely with the Realm Master from the Imperishable Temple; although they couldn't defeat him, they freely used Martial Arts Divine Skills, gathering invaluable experience.
The Realm Master was terrified, striking madly; yet, despite having the upper hand, he was unable to break the combined effort of his opponents and could not inflict damage on the enemy.
The great battle erupted in the Imperishable Land, the booming sounds spreading across the region, breaking the silence of the area.
While the noise couldn't match the battle of a Domain Master, it was still exceptionally fierce, reaching far distances.
This Martial Arts training lasted three days.
The two Realm Masters from the Imperishable Temple, more than once, wanted to flee but couldn't disengage and had to keep fighting desperately.
"That's enough!"
Xu Yan looked at his opponent and showed a smile; this session of Martial Arts training was about to end.
Buzz!
A sword swung out.
The Realm Master was breathless, but his eyes were cold and fierce, with a hint of madness added.
Boom!
He raised his hand to strike, a dark aura surging around him, gathering a powerful force that wrapped around the incoming sword!
Hiss!
As his sword collided with another, while the sword was shattering and he was about to catch his breath to strike at Xu Yan again, something shocking happened. Enjoy new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Out of the shattered sword burst a golden True Dragon!
It seemed as though its rest had been disturbed, so the infuriated True Dragon let out a terrifying roar and violently slammed its way forward.
The furious Golden Dragon, seemingly determined to perish together with its enemy, unleashed its mighty Dragon Might, the unparalleled force of the True Dragon, all in that single strike.
Boom!
The True Dragon blasted through his defenses, and with a sudden explosion, the terrifying Dragon Might and the power of the True Dragon tore apart his physical body and Divine Soul, sending intense agony through him.
Ah!
A piercing scream rang out, followed by his body exploding, swept away to ashes under the relentless Dragon Might.
Divine Skill, True Dragon's Rage!
"Divine Skills within Divine Skills, one set after another, impossible to guard against—there's still room to explore in the application of these Divine Skills!"
Xu Yan smirked, his Sword Arts Divine Skill concealing the True Dragon's Rage Divine Skill. When the sword arts were broken, the True Dragon's Rage followed immediately, catching him off guard.
After dealing with his opponent, Xu Yan turned to look at the fight involving Meng Chong and the other two.
At this moment, the remaining Realm Master, filled with fear, was trying to break out of the encirclement and escape using a secret technique.
Too terrifying!
Not long ago, these four had been the ones fleeing for their lives from their pursuers—how much time had passed for them to now possess the strength to slay them?
Either they had deliberately concealed their abilities before, or their strength had significantly increased in a very short time.
He leaned toward the latter.
Perhaps, something supreme had been born in the Hong Ze Domain that significantly enhanced their power.
"Junior brother, you could try layering Divine Skills!"
Xu Yan said with a smile.
The Azure Sea Turtle and that Imperishable Temple Realm Master didn't know what layering Divine Skills meant, but Meng Chong and the other two immediately understood and began honing the technique of layered Divine Skills.
Hum!
Taking advantage of the moment when the three were not skilled in layering Divine Skills, the Realm Master from the Imperishable Temple found a gap and tried to escape.
"Go back!"
With a single strike of his sword, Xu Yan directly forced the opponent back.
The Azure Sea Turtle swallowed saliva, feeling that with his strong defense, he might be able to withstand a dozen or twenty blows from Xu Yan without being slain by a single sword strike.
"If even my defense cannot withstand it, in the Minor Heaven and Earth Master ranks, who else can stand up to Xu Yan?"
The Azure Sea Turtle marveled internally.
"Taihe, Taikun, and Taimiao, huh? Although they are stronger, they definitely can't defeat Xu Yan, nobody can deal with Xu Yan now. Although not the first among Minor Heaven and Earth Masters, he is definitely among the top, and his killing power is stronger against weaker martial artists."
The more the Azure Sea Turtle thought, the more he was amazed at the speed of Xu Yan's growth.
Moreover, Xu Yan's Martial Arts killing force was unimaginably powerful.
For powerhouses like Taihe and Taikun, slaying weaker Realm Masters would also take some time and a fierce battle.
However, Xu Yan could slay a person in just a few moves, and was not afraid of being surrounded.
Mainly because Xu Yan's Martial Arts were mysteriously effective, his combat capabilities far surpassed Taihe and the others.
What's more, Xu Yan's Martial Arts seemed to have a certain overwhelming effect even against those, including Taicang Martial Arts practitioners, making it far more difficult for the slightly weaker to defend against Xu Yan's attacks compared to those of the same level who cultivated Taicang Martial Arts.
"Die!"
Meng Chong, Fang Hao, and Jiang Buping layered Divine Skills, and the three's Divine Skills intertwined with each other as they struck the Realm Master.
Restriction, confinement, Slaughter the Physical Body, Slaughter the Soul—a multifaceted burst of Divine Skills, each layer erupting one after another, with the succeeding one unexpectedly more forceful than the previous.
Boom!
Under this attack, the Realm Master was seriously injured.
"He's still not dead!"
Meng Chong was momentarily surprised, then roared as a giant heavenly shadow emerged behind him.
Divine Skill, Heaven Lifting Earth Extinguishing!
Boom!
This Divine Skill carried not only the violent force of Heaven Lifting Earth Extinguishing but was also secretly layered with Jiang Buping's Extreme Soul Divine Skill, Fang Hao's Confinement Divine Skill, and Meng Chong's own Great Sun God Obscuration Divine Skill!
