Level 4 Golden Palace Sword Gang

The mountainside fell silent for a moment.

The afternoon mountain breeze swept up from the valley, creating a soft rustling sound as it passed through the pine forest.

The rock dust that had been crushed by the sword light still floated in the air, forming a thin layer of gray mist in the sunlight.

Qin Nanyue froze for a moment, then realized something.

She then silently swallowed and asked, "How much force did you use just now?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment and honestly replied, "Less than a point?"

Qin Nanyue: (╯`□′)╯~ ╧╧

Then what's the point of me even fighting?!

You could break my shield with less than a fraction of your strength.

If you go all out, what will I have left?!

There won't be any scraps left, right???

Her expression was stiff, her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Looking at her like this, Lu Yang suppressed his laughter, barely managing to hold it back.

Qin Nanyue is usually so capable and efficient; it's rare to see her so stunned and speechless.

Were you scared?

He cleared his throat, his face hardening into a serious expression. "You should rest now. Once you're rested, we'll continue our sparring. Don't worry, I'll be serious this time!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyue's eyes turned red.

If you want to kill me, just say so!

Just then, Qin Nanyue suddenly thought of something, a sly glint in her eyes, and said, "Lu Yang! How about we try a different way to spar?"

Lu Yang glanced at Qin Nanyue with some surprise. This girl still hadn't given up?

He had already waited for Qin Nanyue to surrender and admit defeat, but he didn't expect her to still want to struggle.

With a hint of curiosity, he asked with a smile, "How?"

Qin Nanyue cleared her throat, crossed her arms back to her chest, and raised her straight, sharp eyebrows as if to bolster her courage.

She said earnestly, "Look, swords have no eyes. We're both so strong, what if we accidentally hurt each other during a spar? Wouldn't that be terrible? How about this, we each take a turn, one attacking and the other defending. If we can't defend, we call a stop, okay?"

Lu Yang didn't speak, but just looked at her with a half-smile.

Qin Nanyue's pretty face slowly flushed as she was looked at. Her gaze unconsciously shifted half an inch to the side, landing on a rock that had been cleaved beyond recognition by Sword Qi.

She felt that although Lu Yang was a big pervert and a bad guy, he shouldn't really hurt her.

But she couldn't help feeling panicked!

According to Lu Yang, his strength was truly that great; she felt she didn't even have time to admit defeat!

And... this guy's Law Technique spells are so overpowered, surely his defensive Law Technique can't be this overpowered too, right?

It's impossible for one person to master everything!

Maybe I can turn the tables?

She just always felt that the way he looked at her seemed to see right through her little schemes.

Qin Nanyue's pride made her quite embarrassed.

He originally thought that after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would be able to suppress Lu Yang to some extent, but he didn't expect that Lu Yang would almost give him psychological trauma.

Lu Yang chuckled as he looked at Qin Nanyue, who was clearly feeling guilty but trying to appear calm. "No problem, how about you attack first?"

Qin Nanyue was overjoyed.

Isn't this exactly what she wanted?

She had originally planned to attack first, and then concede defeat when Lu Yang attacked in the next round.

She looked up at Lu Yang, her face full of smiles.

But when she saw Lu Yang's ambiguous smile, her smile froze slightly.

She coughed lightly, pretending not to see his expression, and said to herself, "Alright then, I'll attack first!"

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "Then let's take a rest first?"

Qin Nanyue's face flushed red.

From his neck to his forehead, his entire face was burned to the color of a sunset.

She felt both embarrassed and angry; was this scoundrel doing it on purpose?

I just want to see her make a fool of herself!

You didn't exert any effort at all, so what difference does it make whether I rest or not?!

Did you beat me up after I rested?

She gritted her teeth, swallowing her embarrassment and anger, and took a deep breath, saying, "No need to rest!"

Lu Yang nodded with a smile, no longer teasing her. He made a sword-finger gesture with his right hand and gently held it up in front of him.

The next moment, a pale golden light spread outward from his fingertips.

The light was not dazzling, but rather warm and gentle, like a piece of amber soaked in sunlight slowly melting in mid-air.

Golden light spread out within a radius of about ten feet around him, condensing into a semi-transparent pale golden light shield.

The light shield stood there quietly, motionless, and completely airtight.

Golden Palace Sword Gang Aura Level 4 (112/40000)

During this time, Lu Yang discussed Dao with Su Jinxuan and cultivated the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon to level 4. Naturally, he also cultivated the accompanying Law Technique at the same time.

However, because Lu Yang's main focus was on Cultivation Method, his Law Technique were not of a high level.

The Sunfall Golden Rainbow Sword is currently at level 2, Golden Plume Chases the Moon and the Metal Sword Essence Devouring Technique are both at level 1.

The reason why the Golden Palace Sword Gang reached level 4 was because Lu Yang used all of his 30,000+ Law Technique Experience points on this defensive Law Technique.

After all, Lu Yang doesn't need to fight much right now, so exploiting the weaknesses of Law Technique isn't a problem.

With Wang Da and the others around, it's not his turn to take action personally.

But he must maximize his defensive Law Technique, lest he be unable to withstand even the aftershocks of a real fight if someone actually tries to attack him.

As for how strong the level 4 Golden Palace Sword Gang is, Lu Yang actually has no idea.

It's a good opportunity for Qin Nanyue to give it a try.

Qin Nanyue's eyelids twitched involuntarily as she watched Lu Yang unleash his Law Technique.

This light shield looks quite sturdy.

It might be a very valuable, high-quality defensive Law Technique.

Well... this guy's identity is mysterious, what do high-quality defensive Law Technique mean to him?

I'm afraid that if he were to casually slip out a secret manual, she couldn't exchange it even if the entire Qin Household went bankrupt.

Qin Nanyue took a deep breath, clearing all those distracting thoughts from her mind.

A sharp glint appeared in her eyes.

Regardless, this is her turn.

If she's going to lose, she should concede on the defensive turn; she can't let this guy look down on her sword!

"Here I come!"

She formed hand seals, her slender fingers fluttering like butterflies in front of her, the cuffs of her black outfit billowing slightly from the spiritual energy.

The cyan longsword on her back emitted a clear, resonant hum, then with a whoosh, it detached from its sheath and stood upright in the air in front of her.

The sword is entirely blue-green, with a very faint fluorescent sheen on its surface. The hilt is engraved with intricate Qin Lineage patterns, which are now radiating soft halos.

The wind on the mountain gradually subsided, and even the sound of the distant waterfall seemed to have softened.

"I am using a Profound Grade Xuan-level Sword Dao Law Technique, the Flying Star Facing the Origin Sword!"

Qin Nanyue's voice turned serious, her face devoid of any joking expression, her eyes filled with focus. "This is a family Law Technique of my Qin Household, its power is quite formidable. Lu Yang, be careful!"

She didn't hold back.

Lu Yang has already demonstrated strength far exceeding hers; if she continues to hold back, it would be an insult.

The flying sword shone brightly.

A mix of blue and white Sword Qi shot out from the sword, one, two, five, ten... In the blink of an eye, dozens of Sword Qi appeared in front of her at the same time.

Each strike carried a pure and sharp Sword Intent, emitting shrieks of varying lengths as it tore through the air.

Jiang Shiqing, who was some distance away, felt a slight stinging sensation on her skin, as if someone had gently poked her with the tip of an extremely fine needle through the fabric.

That was the aftershock of the Sword Qi energy, causing damage that traveled dozens of meters.

She unconsciously retreated to the mountain path.

However, Jiang Shiqing's expression was calm, and there was no worry in her eyes.

She had blind confidence in Lu Yang.

Dozens of Sword Qi moved simultaneously.

They didn't fly in a straight line in the air, but instead drew different arcs, some soaring high, some skimming low, and some circling sideways, all slashing at Lu Yang's pale golden light shield from all directions.

Each trajectory carries the sharpness and cunning unique to Sword Dao and Law Technique.

The next moment, streaks of sword Sword Qi landed on the Golden Palace Sword Gang.

Like a sudden downpour hitting a still lake.

The continuous crashing sounds echoed through the mountains, one after another, so dense that it was almost impossible to tell the order.

At the same time, all points of impact erupted with dazzling white light, and sharp sword winds spread wildly in all directions from the center of impact.

Within a few breaths, the rocky platform beneath Lu Yang's feet was slashed by the aftershocks of the shattered Sword Qi, leaving dozens of jagged sword marks of varying depths, with stone chips flying like snow.

Jiang Shiqing took another step back.

She raised her hand to shield her eyes; the sword light was too bright, making her eyes sting slightly.

However, the light shield around Lu Yang did not even ripple.

From the moment the first Sword Qi struck until the last sword Sword Qi dissipated, the pale golden barrier remained as calm as a mirror.

Lu Yang stood in the center of the light barrier, his clothes remaining completely still.

Seeing this, Qin Nanyue's heart sank.

It's one thing that you're so good at Law Technique, but why are you so good at defensive Law Technique too?!

She had a premonition that someone who could crush Foundation Establishment Realm genius during the Qi Refining Realm must have a strong defense.

But she never expected it to be this strong!

Dozens of Sword Qi slammed into it simultaneously, but not even a ripple was created?!

She took a deep breath, and her hand Method Formula suddenly changed.

All the remaining Sword Qi seemed to receive some silent command, turning back in mid-air and converging towards the flying sword itself.

Dozens of white rays intertwined and condensed on the sword, growing larger and brighter as they gathered.

The air hummed under the immense spiritual pressure.

After a few breaths, a huge white Sword Qi, more than ten meters long, condensed above her head.

The Sword Qi was entirely white, the blade was as transparent as glass, and the edge emitted extremely fine, cold light.

"Cut!"

Qin Nanyue shouted, and her right hand, gripping a sword, slashed downwards.

The enormous white Sword Qi slashed straight down from the sky, the blade tearing through the air with a short, sharp explosion.

Before the Sword Qi even arrived, the pebbles on the ground were already shaking and trembling under the pressure of the sword.

Lu Yang didn't even lift his eyelids.

He stood silently in the center of the pale golden light barrier, his hands hanging at his sides, watching the giant sword slash down at him.

Boom!!

The enormous roar reverberated throughout the entire mountain range.

The white Sword Qi struck the thin golden light shield solidly.

Then the Sword Qi shattered.

Starting from the tip of the sword, it shattered and disintegrated piece by piece, turning into countless tiny Sword-Ray that scattered in all directions.

The fragments fell onto the rocks, leaving behind a dense array of sword marks.

Several birds in the distant pine forest were startled and took flight with a whoosh, flapping their wings and disappearing on the other side of the ridge.

The pale golden light barrier remained calm and undisturbed.

Like an unchanging rock.

It came from the wind and returned to the wind, without a single unnecessary tremor from beginning to end.

Qin Nanyue was completely devastated.

She bit her lower lip, and a thin layer of moisture veiled her bright, spirited eyes.

It's simply because they were hit too hard.

She's already Foundation Establishment!

She used her family's most powerful Profound Grade supreme Law Technique!

She poured all her Spiritual Qi into this sword strike!

And that lecherous guy on the other side didn't even flinch at his defensive barrier!

"I'm going all out... at least give me some reaction!" Her voice trembled slightly, her fingers still in the hand seal position, but her fingertips were already shaking slightly.

Lu Yang was taken aback. Looking at Qin Nanyue, whose eyes were red-rimmed, he quickly nodded. "Oh."

After saying that, a thought struck him.

The calm, pale golden light barrier finally rippled slightly, its surface showing a very light and shallow ripple, as if someone had breathed on the surface of an ancient well. The ripples subsided in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yang boasted to Qin Nanyue, "Look, there's a reaction!"

Qin Nanyue: "..."
