Unyielding Sword Intent, a Step Further
The force of Li Xuanjun's sword at that moment made everyone present feel suffocated.
This includes Grandmaster Danxia and Curly-Bearded Grandmaster, both of whom possessed extraordinary Sword Dao skills.
Grandmaster Danxia couldn't help but sigh, "The sect leader seems to have grown even stronger..."
The last time they saw the sect leader make a move was probably several decades ago, and today's sect leader 'Sword Dao is even stronger than before. Even the two Sword Dao Grandmaster were momentarily stunned.
They will probably never reach the level of a sect leader in their lifetime.
Although both are at the Grandmaster Realm, they are still incomparable.
As for the boy...
This only deepened their sense of regret.
At such a young age, regardless of victory or defeat, simply being able to stand opposite the sect leader and fight him already surpasses countless others in the world.
Only.
Grandmaster Danxia also keenly noticed some problems.
The young man was traveling with the princess, but now he was fighting with the sect leader.
The reason behind this might be quite significant.
The slightest mistake could jeopardize the entire Ten Thousand Swords Valley.
At the same time.
Faced with Li Xuanjun's suddenly powerful sword strike, Chen Ning's expression turned solemn. At this moment, he had no choice but to draw his sword.
The Heaven-Slaying Sword was suddenly drawn.
This sword was passed down from the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint of the Nine Provinces Realm. After Chen Ning restored it, it was upgraded to the level of Divine Artifact.
Unfortunately...
On the Vast Land, this was merely a Lesser Divine Artifact.
But.
Chen Ning has always possessed a wealth of powerful other methods, and after arriving in Vast Land, he relied on Thunder Method and other means to defend against enemies.
Sword Dao, ironically, became Chen Ning's weakest skill among the many techniques he possessed.
Actually, there's more.
Chen Ning was still reluctant to Heaven-Slaying Sword. This sword carried the last will of the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint and was also filled with Chen Ning's deep affection for the Nine Provinces Realm.
So.
He never changed it.
It wasn't until Chen Ning consumed the Divine Fruit of Dao Comprehension that his Sword Dao reached its pinnacle, allowing his Sword Intent to barely contend with Li Xuanjun's, and finally giving the Heaven-Slaying Sword a chance to shine.
Even so, the Heaven-Slaying Sword is still considered a top-tier divine weapon in the Azure Heaven Realm.
After the Heaven-Slaying Sword was drawn.
Li Xuanjun's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "This divine sword in your hand, young friend, surpasses any known divine weapon in the world."
That's all.
Li Xuanjun waved his hand.
The Sword Qi surged forth like a vast ocean, its terrifying power threatening to annihilate Chen Ning.
Chen Ning looked up at the surging ocean of Sword Qi and couldn't help but think of the scene when he broke through the barrier of the Nine Provinces Realm.
The scene before my eyes.
How similar they are!
It was just as vast and indestructible as the sky.
Unable to defeat Chen Ning immediately, and with more and more people from Ten Thousand Swords Valley arriving, Li Xuanjun was eager to end the battle.
Therefore.
This vast ocean of Sword Qi energy was also mobilized using all its power.
Just like when they faced the world barrier of the Nine Provinces Realm, it was an existence that was almost impossible to break through.
But Chen Ning, once a lone swordsman, Opening the Heavens and reached the Vast Land.
It created a miracle.
Today.
He rediscovered that feeling once again, that unstoppable momentum that was determined to break through all enemies in his path.
At a certain moment.
Chen Ning's heart skipped a beat.
Sword Heart Clear!
He swung the Heaven-Slaying Sword in his hand.
A dazzling Sword-Ray was unleashed.
As Chen Ning unleashed his sword strike, the vast ocean of Sword Qi that Li Xuanjun had unleashed solidified slightly.
The Sword-Ray soared upwards, seemingly poised to cleave through the heavens and shatter space and time!
The Unyielding Sword Intent at this moment.
It unleashed unprecedented power.
Even when facing Sword Dao of kendo, he possessed an indomitable spirit.
Sizzle!
The vast ocean of Sword Qi was cleaved in two by this Sword-Ray, and the sword's cry shook the heavens.
At this moment.
Li Xuanjun finally showed a solemn expression. The sword strike Chen Ning had just unleashed was no weaker than his own.
"Young friend, you should leave. If you continue fighting, it will only damage our harmony."
Li Xuanjun felt a pang of pity and reminded him again.
"I have benefited greatly from today's sparring with the senior master. How can I retreat so easily? I would like to continue to learn from the senior master!"
Chen Ning smiled brightly.
At that moment, his upright figure was incredibly majestic.
Unparalleled in spirit and courage.
Upon witnessing this scene...
Zhao Yinyin also covered her cherry lips in surprise. Chen Ning was simply ridiculously strong, actually able to directly neutralize Li Xuanjun's sword strike.
With just this one sword strike.
Chen Ning could then reign supreme at the Grandmaster Realm.
It's not just Zhao Yinyin.
The people of Ten Thousand Swords Valley were stunned into silence.
They stared in disbelief at Chen Ning's stunning sword strike.
"A young Sword Immortal, this must be the young Sword Immortal..."
Many of the younger generation looked on with longing.
Elegant and unparalleled, a swordsman Aoshi.
Which man from Ten Thousand Swords Valley wouldn't want to be like that?
As for the female cultivators, their eyes were filled with hearts, and they secretly harbored feelings for each other.
The Curly-Bearded Grandmaster sighed with some disappointment, "This sword strike... I'm afraid even I am no match for it."
He shattered Li Xuanjun's sword momentum with a single strike.
Absolutely astonishing.
This sent a chill down the spines of everyone in Ten Thousand Swords Valley.
Suddenly, some bold guesses popped into my head, ones that startled me.
Will the sect leader be defeated by him?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"How could the sect leader, the strongest below the Celestial Person, lose to a Ninth Rank cultivator?"
Soon.
They dismissed the bold idea from their minds.
Because.
Everyone saw it.
The sect leader sighed softly, and then a small, ancient, and weathered sword, entirely emerald green, flew out from his sleeve.
Buzz!
The sword hummed in the void.
The next moment it transformed into a three-foot-long shape and landed in Li Xuanjun's hand.
"To force the sect leader to draw his Divine Sword of Calamity Annihilation is extremely difficult..."
Grandmaster Danxia spoke, a look of shock on his face.
The Curly-Bearded Grandmaster nodded and said, "It's been many years since we've seen the sect leader draw his sword. The last Grandmaster who challenged the sect leader couldn't even withstand the sect leader's Sword Intent."
The Grandmaster he mentioned was not weak at all; on the contrary, he was the fastest cultivator in the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty in the past hundred years.
Even so.
They still couldn't get Li Xuanjun to use this divine sword.
Now.
With the Divine Sword of Calamity Annihilation in hand, Li Xuanjun's demeanor changed abruptly.
Previously, Li Xuanjun, like this sword, was reserved, humble, and indifferent. But now, he has revealed his sharp edge and fully displayed the domineering nature of the number one swordsman in the Azure Heaven Realm Sword Dao.
Swish!
Li Xuanjun swung his sword, unleashing a hundred-foot-long azure Sword-Ray that swept forth with overwhelming force.
Chen Ning's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, Li Xuanjun was much stronger than before.
Chen Ning also wielded the Heaven-Slaying Sword, unleashing a stunning Sword-Ray.
Boom!
The world is in turmoil!
The terrifying Sword Qi burst forth in all directions, instantly turning many buildings within the Ten Thousand Swords Valley into dust.
Grandmaster Danxia and Curly-Bearded Grandmaster, both looking horrified, led countless people from Ten Thousand Swords Valley in a continuous retreat.
Gods are fighting.
Ordinary people suffer.
That collision just now was a power that was incredibly close to that of Celestial Person.
"Young friend, your sword is very powerful, but how many more strikes can you deliver with such an astonishing weapon?"
Li Xuanjun spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ning sighed and said, "The old senior is right. Press On in One Burst, then weaken, and finally exhaust oneself. If this continues, I will surely be defeated by the old senior."
"Young friend, I have nurtured this sword for many years, and given that you have achieved such a level of mastery at the Ninth Rank, it is already astonishing. For me to win against you would be an unfair victory..."
"Senior, please don't be in such a hurry. Sword Dao swordsmanship may not be as good as yours, but I'm not just someone who knows how to use a sword..."
