The Secret of the Demon Blade Art

Seeing this, Si Ming was not afraid but delighted. He used his right hand to wield his sword and block all the feathers, while his left hand transformed into a palm, unleashing the three divine powers and combining them with the multiplying power of the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art, to launch a counterattack against the demonic dragon with pure power.

The demonic dragon formed from the clouds exploded with a deafening roar, but this was ultimately the Demon King's ultimate move, which Si Ming could not block with a single palm strike. The scattered clouds continued to surge towards Si Ming, seemingly soft and loose, but in reality containing the power to cause a mountain collapse and the earth to split. When it hit Si Ming, it was like Five Fingers Mountain that pressed him down to the earth, causing a violent tremor that even caused huge cracks to appear in the city wall not far away, and the sand and soil were shaken hundreds of meters into the air.

"It worked?"

Chang Qing was surprised but also doubtful, as if even she herself couldn't believe that she had succeeded this time.

Zhen Hu said solemnly, "With this boy's strength, it's wishful thinking to defeat him in one move. But if he takes this attack, he'll be severely injured, if not killed..."

His voice froze abruptly when he saw Si Ming emerge from the smoke and dust, almost unharmed, with only a bruise on his face and his clothes torn.

"That was a good move, it hurt a little, though only a tiny bit."

Si Ming pressed his left nose and snorted forcefully, causing a spray of blood to spurt from his right nostril. Then he twisted his neck and turned his arms, making a rattling sound.

"That's about enough warm-up. Now it's time to get serious. Are you all ready?"

Although they knew that the battle just now was far from a warm-up, and that their opponents were merely using this method to shake their resolve, Chang Qing and Zhen Hu still felt immense pressure, their expressions growing increasingly solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Within the sword formation, the Demon Emperor looked at the sword Sword Qi flying all around him and felt a strong hostility, as if he were being pointed at by a thousand people and condemned by heaven and earth. Moreover, this hostility did not come from the sword formation, but from this world. It was as if he had become the enemy of the world. If it were not for the Eternal Barrier that isolated the Heavenly Dao, he would probably have already sent down tribulation lightning to act on behalf of heaven.

However, despite the hostility, there was no actual attack or suppression of his Cultivation Body. The Demon Emperor glanced at Tu Wangyue, who seemed no different from before, and looked puzzled.

It should be understood that the function of an array is nothing more than two things: to defeat the enemy or to help oneself. However, the Demon Emperor was not oppressed by the array, and Tu Wangyue did not seem to have become stronger. This puzzled him greatly. What exactly was the purpose of this sword array? Was it just to exert mental pressure?

If that's all it serves, the other party shouldn't be so confident.

Despite his doubts, the Demon Emperor did not remain inactive. Some people choose to defend themselves and wait for their opponents to attack when faced with unknown dangers, while others will take the initiative to probe. The Demon Emperor was the latter.

"Demon Blade - Rushing Thunder!"

The mighty Demon Emperor used a very common Demon Blade Art, and he did not use any evil weapons or divine artifacts, but simply used his palm as a sword.

For the Demon Race, the physical body is their greatest weapon, and the Demon Emperor has taken this to the extreme; the sharpness of his palm blade is in no way inferior to that of divine weapons.

With a flash of lightning, the Demon Emperor had already rushed in front of Tu Wangyue, his palm blade slashing through the air, leaving a white streak in the void.

The Demon Blade: Rushing Thunder Form pursues the ultimate in power and speed, and is a sword technique that can kill with a single strike. The Demon Emperor's strike has undoubtedly reached the pinnacle, and its power is enough to split a mountain with a single palm.

However, Tu Wangyue struck with his sword, shattering the powerful blade aura head-on. The moment the palm and sword collided, a surge of immense power erupted, sending the Demon Emperor flying.

"I never realized you possessed such divine power. Could it be that you share the same lineage as that Mad Ink?"

The Demon Emperor's five fingers trembled slightly, as if he had been shaken numb. The power of Tu Wangyue 'One Sword was unbelievably strong, only slightly inferior to Si Ming's, which greatly surprised him. After all, Si Ming's divine power could be guessed from his vast essence, while Tu Wangyue's essence was not strong, only at the level of an ordinary Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, let alone a Body Refining Martial Artist.

"I've already said it, your opponent isn't me, but this sword," Tu Wangyue said, devoid of any emotion.

"So this is the legendary invincible Mohist School Sacred Sword. Its purpose is to grant the wielder unparalleled divine power?"

Having gathered intelligence, the Demon Emperor naturally knew the legend of the Mohist School Sacred Sword, which made him even more puzzled. Although Tu Wangyue's power had indeed been enhanced to the point of suppressing him, it was not yet beyond his reach. Relying solely on this to become invincible was unrealistic.

Tu Wangyue slowly said, "The Mohist School Sacred Sword possesses many Divine Ability, which later generations cannot fully comprehend. Currently, I can only unleash three of them. The first Divine Ability is called 'The Stronger Against the Strong.'"

"Demon Blade - Gale!"

Although the Demon Emperor was very interested in the secret of the Mohist School Sacred Sword, he knew that time was precious. He had to break through the defenses before the reinforcements from the other two routes arrived in order to open a way out for the Demon Beast army. Before Tu Wangyue could finish speaking, he decisively used the speed-oriented Demon Blade: Gale Form.

In an instant, a boundless and majestic sword aura surged up, followed by a vast and powerful sword energy that appeared out of thin air. The sword aura and sword energy converged as they rose and fell, forming an indescribable and powerful aura. The Demon Emperor's body dissolved into the void, as if it had truly become a stream of air, slashing at its opponent with impenetrable force.

No matter how strong the opponent is, the swordsman will always be stronger.

As Tu Wangyue spoke, she swung her sword to defend herself. Her movements were as fast as the wind, and the Sacred Sword in her hand was almost invisible as she wielded it. Only the howling wind could be heard, like steel blades scraping across the sky. The sword energy clashed with the sword energy that came from nowhere, producing a series of metallic clangs and sparks flying everywhere.

No matter how fast the opponent is, the swordsman will always be faster.

As if to prove that what she said was true, Tu Wangyue switched from defense to offense, colliding with the invisible blade energy. The sound of the wind generated by the dancing sword became increasingly sharp and rapid, squeezing out the Demon Emperor's aura inch by inch.

A moment later, she countered with an offensive attack, forcibly pulling the Demon Emperor out of the void and gaining a clear advantage in speed.

"Demon Blade: Ice Mark!"

The Demon Emperor changed his tactics again, his sword energy stirring up a cold current, causing snowflakes to swirl and dance wildly, the chilling cold layer upon layer, white mist spreading everywhere, and countless tiny, sharp ice shards condensing in the air.

Those who have mastered inner cultivation are not afraid of scorching heat or freezing cold, but Tu Wangyue still felt a deep chill when she was hit by the sword intent. This chill seemed to originate from within her body, yet it also seemed to come from outside. With the convergence of internal and external chills, even her consciousness became sluggish, and the flesh and blood of her limbs were eroded by this chill, gradually becoming stiff and numb, and her Movement Method speed slowed down.

Seizing the opportunity, the Demon Emperor struck out with both palms. At his level of martial arts, there was no difference between using sword techniques and palm techniques. With the enhancement of the icy sword energy, his hands became a pair of crystal-clear, flawless, and translucent works of art, as if sculpted from ice and snow. The lines on his palms were clear and emitted a shimmering glow, like the natural laws of heaven and earth.

As the palms were pressed out, the wind, snow, ice shards, and frost in the air seemed to receive a divine decree, moving instantly, churning and roaring, surging out like a thousand horses galloping, with a chilling murderous intent. The white Torrent obscured the vast sky, and the bone-chilling cold filled every inch of space within the sword formation, freezing Tu Wangyue into a magnificent ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.

Reaching the Demon Emperor level in the Demon Blade Art is the limit; there is no further advancement. The only way to increase its power is to rely on Foundation.

However, before the Demon Emperor could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard his opponent's unhurried voice again.

"No matter how high the opponent's Cultivation Body is, the swordsman will always be able to surpass it."

Her tone, intonation, and speaking speed were exactly the same as before, as if she had not been affected by the battle at all. The icy sword energy wrapped around Tu Wangyue's body was forcibly dispersed by the immense power, and her delicate body broke free from the seal, striking the Demon Emperor with a palm.

The Demon Emperor raised his palm to meet the attack, and immediately felt that the opponent's Internal Cultivation was as boundless as the sea, having already reached the Peak Void Returning. He couldn't help but groan and was injured and forced to retreat.

"This is the first Divine Ability of the Sacred Sword that I spoke of, 'The Stronger Against the Strong.' What does the Demon Emperor think?"

Chapter 830 The Secret of the Demon Blade Art

Her strength, speed, and skill were all 30% greater than hers... She wasn't bluffing.

The Demon Emperor estimated the difference he felt during the fight and confirmed that Tu Wangyue was not lying. If one ability was significantly superior while another was only slightly superior, there might be other reasons, such as the overall boost brought about by the enhancement of his Cultivation Body. However, all three abilities were just right at the level of being more than 30%, and that was a 30% that took into account his hidden abilities. This was enough to prove that this was indeed the effect of the sword formation.
