This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 52: Secret Sword



"Pfft!"

The air between Lu Qingshan and Yu Cibei trembled slightly.

"I know a little bit..." Yu Cibei said as a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, his sword-wielding right hand whirled fiercely.

Immediately, the silver longsword traced countless seemingly illusory trajectories in the air, with a green airflow clinging to it, forming numerous afterimages that struck towards Lu Qingshan.

The enhancement effect brought by the Wind Sword Intent was speed.

Because of the extreme speed of the sword strikes, the sword techniques were elusive and unpredictable; these countless afterimages outlined a green flood dragon in the air.

Sword Creates Green Flood Dragon!

"Ha!"

With a low shout, Yu Cibei, the green dragon burst forth rapidly.

Lu Qingshan's robe fluttered loudly under the force of the green dragon.

He stared at the green dragon before him, and as it drew near, the Slaughter Sword Intent clung to the Peach Blossom Sword and he slashed fiercely, colliding heavily with the green dragon unleashed by Yu Cibei.

Whoosh!

The sword light and the shadow of the green dragon annihilated each other.

Seeing this, Yu Cibei's pupils shrank, and a sense of wariness rose dramatically in his heart.

This simple vertical slash from Lu Qingshan, without any mystique yet augmented by the Slaughter Sword Intent, had blocked his long-practiced sword technique.

This indicated that in terms of the destructive power of sword techniques alone, Lu Qingshan had far surpassed him.

Not to mention, the Slaughter Intent represented the ultimate in offensive intents.

Even more so considering that Lu Qingshan's Slaughter Sword Intent had reached the level of Unity Realm.

"However, strong offensive power doesn't mean you can win..." Yu Cibei snorted coldly, full of confidence, "As long as you don't have an overwhelming advantage, a contest of External Sword can completely be compensated by skill!"

He could accept being surpassed by Lu Qingshan, but his pride wouldn't allow him to be defeated in the realm of External Sword.

He had absolute confidence and pride in his External Sword technique which he had cultivated for decades.

The next moment, Yu Cibei's sword followed his heart; with a slight force of his single arm, the Innocence Sword that was originally stabbing at Lu Qingshan at high speed suddenly transformed into a horizontal sweep in an instant.

No!

It wasn't a sweep, but rather a continuous high-frequency barrage of sweeps!

Clang clang clang!

The Innocence Sword smashed down on the Sword Armor covering Lu Qingshan's body and simultaneously swept back and forth at high speed, like lingering phantoms, producing dozens of collision sounds in an instant.

Under such rapid assaults, the Sword Qi that sketched out the Sword Armor flowed everywhere, scattering on the ground of the arena, leaving behind shallow white scars.

Lu Qingshan's gaze became serious; similarly, he slashed down with his sword. The Sword Qi on the Peach Blossom Sword crisscrossed, its momentum far surpassing any of Yu Cibei's strikes.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing this, Yu Cibei remained unflustered, his right hand drawing a sword movement.

Instantly, a green Flame Sword Light streaked across the sky, seemingly tearing the space apart, and it directly bombarded Lu Qingshan's Peach Blossom Sword.

This time, Yu Cibei managed to block Lu Qingshan's attack with merely a single strike.

"Sword Intent of Fire! Yu Cibei has actually comprehended the Sword Intent of Fire on top of the Wind Sword Intent!"

"And through a profound grasp of swordsmanship, he cleverly fused two Sword Intents into one sword technique." Upon seeing Yu Cibei's move, the elder beside Zhuan Zhu immediately became slightly invigorated.

"This duel is getting more and more interesting. This kind of superb swordsmanship that infuses Intent into sword techniques, for this Lu Qingshan to continue contesting External Sword with Yu Cibei, would be an unwise choice."

"It's just that he has chosen to close the distance on his own, and now if he wants to widen the gap to employ the Flying Sword, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult."

"This Lu Qingshan, surely he hasn't trapped himself by his own doing."

Golden Core Cultivators can be considered geniuses if they master one type of Intent, but Yu Cibei not only mastered two types of Sword Intent, he could even blend the two Intents together through his Sword Techniques.

In the eyes of the elder, the title of "Strongest External Sword" of the Seven Domains Debate Dao was well deserved.

Zhuan Zhu looked on silently at the contest on the stage, murmuring to himself, "Hard to say, hard to say..."

On the stage.

Lu Qingshan's heart tensed as he saw Yu Cibei's sword birth green flames, its power exploding.

Yu Cibei was renowned for the lightning speed of his sword strikes. If he could only release one Slash for the moment, how could Yu Cibei only have one Slash?

As expected, another Sword Light, like fire, streaked across the sky, lingering for a long time.

Boom!

The Sword of Green Fire struck heavily upon Lu Qingshan's Sword Armor, the tip even penetrating several inches into the armor before being squeezed out.

Although he had blocked the strike, it was anything but easy for Lu Qingshan.

The strike by Yu Cibei was a stab, using a technique to break the surface with a point. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

His Sword Armor was strong in defense, but the consumption of Spiritual Power was immense. Only by relying on his own profound Spiritual Power was he unafraid to engage in a war of attrition with any Golden Core Cultivator.

However, Yu Cibei intensified his Spiritual Power consumption through changing Sword Techniques, breaking the surface with a point.

At this moment, for every ten points of Spiritual Power Yu Cibei expended on his attacks, Lu Qingshan needed to spend twenty or even more points to sustain his Sword Armor just to fend off the strikes.

Under such conditions, no matter how profound Lu Qingshan's Spiritual Power was, he wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.

Yu Cibei, with a calm expression, sheathed his sword before launching another attack.

The Sword Intent of Fire was his trump card, one he no longer hid during this battle to defeat Lu Qingshan.

Ever since Yu Cibei executed the Sword of Green Fire, the pressure on Lu Qingshan had doubled.

One Sword, two Swords, three Swords… five Swords… ten Swords, Yu Cibei's sword strikes grew faster and swifter.

The Sword Light collided constantly with Lu Qingshan's Sword Armor, and the clang of their impacts echoed endlessly above the stage.

Lu Qingshan swung his sword to strike once again, only to have it easily blocked by Yu Cibei's Sword of Green Fire, who then thrust another strike with scarcely any gap between, the Sword Light howling as it clashed against Lu Qingshan's Sword Armor.

Bang!

After thwarting countless attacks, Lu Qingshan's outermost Metal Element Sword Armor suddenly burst apart.

A glint of Sword Light flashed through Yu Cibei's eyes.

If there was one, then there could be a second. The complete breakdown of Lu Qingshan's defense was not far off.

"Your Sword Techniques are powerful," Yu Cibei's Innocence Sword traced a streak of green fire in the air as he softly said to Lu Qingshan, "But your sword, is too slow."

Regarding Yu Cibei's assessment, Lu Qingshan was noncommittal; with a flash of Sword Light in his eyes, he didn't respond directly, simply advancing and thrusting forward a calm sword strike.

In the next moment, Spiritual Power surged from within him, his Slaughter Sword Intent fully enhancing the blade.

The transformative power of the Immortal True Intent also bloomed, with a flash of blood-red light passing over the Peach Blossom Sword.

"Again?" Yu Cibei thought firmly to himself, "But this won't work against me."

He could naturally tell that Lu Qingshan's strike was much more powerful than any he had faced before, but what of it?

At most, it would mean that if previously one sword was needed to block, now two would suffice.

As Yu Cibei thought this, his Innocence Sword buzzed, blue wind and crimson fire converging as he angled to intercept Lu Qingshan's strike.

The next moment, Yu Cibei's pupils constricted, chills running through his heart.

With terrifying suddenness, as Lu Qingshan's sword clashed with his Innocence Sword, it mysteriously produced two accompanying afterimages, creating the visual effect of three swords in the blink of an eye.
