The Sword Roars in the West Wind, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers

The Sword Roars in the West Wind, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers

"It's too strong. The Wind Pressure Sword Array was just..."

Feng Bailong was drenched in sweat as well.

The two most formidable offensive arrays of their sect had actually both been blocked so easily.

If he had chosen to resist instead of submit, these four powerhouses alone would have been enough to wipe out the Wind Sword Sect, wouldn't they?

Because Feng Bailong knew very well that the most terrifying of them all, War God Lü Bu, was among them!

"The final array, the Heart Cleansing Array!"

"This is the strongest defensive array of my Wind Sword Sect. Even a Titled Douluo would find it difficult to break!"

"The sword roars in the west wind, swallowing mountains and rivers!"

"Heart Cleansing Array, form up!!!" Feng Bailong's imposing voice echoed throughout the Wind Sword Sect, carrying a trace of confidence.

A massive wind sword descended from the sky and stabbed straight into the ground.

Countless Wind Sword Sect disciples mobilized their Soul Power, gathering tens of thousands of wind swords to form a tough defensive barrier. It looked incomparably spectacular and powerful, seemingly unbreakable.

Even Aiven could not help but praise its momentum. "The Heart Cleansing Array truly lives up to its reputation!"

As the final defensive barrier for defending Jialing Pass in the original story, the Wind Sword Sect's Heart Cleansing Array was indeed exceptionally powerful. It was by no means something an ordinary low-ranked Titled Douluo could easily break.

"I'll break Sect Master Feng's final array."

"Emperor Sword!"

Aiven became interested. Yellow, purple, purple—Three Rings emerged beneath his feet, and he gripped a golden longsword as Battle Intent surged around him.

"Huh? You? Hahahahaha!" Sect Master Feng burst into laughter when he heard this. "King Aiven, please don't joke with me."

"You are indeed a peerless genius, but you are ultimately only a Soul Elder. How could you possibly break my Heart Cleansing Array by yourself?"

"Please do not tease me, Feng."

Feng Bailong thought Aiven was joking.

"It won't be by my strength alone." Aiven shook his head as the golden Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings emerged behind him.

He gently flapped his wings and flew into the sky. "In a sense, this move of mine is also an array-type attack skill that gathers the strength of many people."

"Even so, with only the cultivation of a Soul Elder, you still cannot damage my Heart Cleansing Array in the slightest!" Feng Bailong was utterly disdainful and confident.

The strength of ordinary group array skills mainly depended on the power of the primary controller.

No matter how terrifying the strength of the experts around Aiven was, as long as Aiven, the controller, was weak, the array's power would not be very great.

But Aiven's Emperor's Power was no ordinary group array. "Heh. Then Sect Master Feng, watch and see whether I can break your Heart Cleansing Array with one sword strike."

"Hmph! If King Aiven can break my Heart Cleansing Array, then no matter what predicament the Aiven Kingdom faces in the future, my Wind Sword Sect will spare no effort and serve you loyally unto death without a word of complaint!" Feng Bailong simply refused to believe that Aiven could break it.

"Good. Then take this."

"External Soul Bone Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings' Spirit Bone Skill, Emperor's Power!!"

A dazzling golden circular formation appeared behind Aiven. He pointed the Emperor Sword forward. "Lend me your strength!"

"Yes, Lord!"

Lü Bu, Zhao Long, Zhao Fei, and Jiang Wei all poured their power into the circular formation.

Terrifying power began to gather wildly upon the Emperor Sword.

"This power... Not good!!"

"Quick!! Defend with everything you have!!" Feng Bailong, who had been calm moments ago, instantly turned pale with fright.

He could sense the terrifying power within that sword and hurriedly shouted.

"Destroy!!"

Aiven swung his sword, sending a massive, terrifying golden blade of light flying toward the Heart Cleansing Array.

"Defend! Defend!!"

Bang! Boom! Boom!

"Uwaaaahhh!"

In that instant, an earth-shattering roar erupted.

The supposedly unbreakable barrier of the Heart Cleansing Array was truly shattered on the spot by Aiven's single slash.

Feng Bailong and every Wind Sword Sect disciple screamed as they were blasted into the ground by that strike.

"T-Too terrifying!!"

"How is this possible? The controller is only a Soul Elder—how can it possess such power... Impossible!!" Every member of the Wind Sword Sect was stunned, staring fearfully at Aiven in the sky.

Zhu Zhuqing also jumped excitedly. "S-So handsome, Aiven... Aiven! You're so, so cool~!!"

Zhu Zhuqing was genuinely a little won over, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Well, Sect Master Feng?" Aiven wore a faint smile as he withdrew his power and landed before Feng Bailong.

Feng Bailong had been completely won over. They were more than willing to follow a king like this!

At that moment, Feng Bailong and every disciple of the Wind Sword Sect collectively dropped to one knee before Aiven. "From this day forth, the Wind Sword Sect shall follow the Aiven Kingdom's lead!"

"Feng Bailong, together with every member of the Wind Sword Sect, pays respects to the King!!!"

"Rise, Sect Master Feng. From now on, we are family. Let us accomplish great things together." Aiven patted Feng Bailong on the shoulder, signaling for him to rise.

Feng Bailong had sincerely submitted. "The Wind Sword Sect will certainly assist the King with all its strength!"

"Your Majesty is also a swordsman. This is a small token of Feng's regard. Please accept it." Feng Bailong took out a book.

Aiven asked, "What is this?"

"This book records the Wind Sword Sect's Sword Flight Technique, as well as our sect's sword art, the Wind Sword Art."

"I hope it will be of help to Your Majesty." Feng Bailong spoke with a respectful expression.

"I see. Then thank you." Aiven accepted it.

In the Douluo Continent World, there were actually many ways to cultivate and strengthen oneself beyond becoming a Soul Master, such as sword cultivation and the Sword Dao.

However, they were all too niche and required immense talent. Few Soul Masters were willing to waste time cultivating in other fields.

The most representative figure of the Sword Dao was Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Saint Chen Xin.

Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword martial soul was born with sword intent, and he possessed his own sword art, called the Seven Kill Sword Art.

It was a powerful sword art skill that could be unleashed purely through one's comprehension of the Sword Dao.

As for sword intent—

It was a realm attained by those who cultivated the Sword Dao.

Sword intent could form sword qi. With a casual wave, one could unleash powerful sword blades. It could also be attached to a sword to strengthen ordinary attacks, or used on sword-type soul skills to enhance their offensive power.

Aiven was already very strong in combat.

But when it came to the Sword Dao and the art of wielding a sword, he had not truly begun to explore them.

This Wind Sword Art might become the opportunity that would set him on the path of the Sword Dao.

"Though Feng is far inferior to Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the Sword Dao, I have still achieved a little in it. If Your Majesty wishes to cultivate the Sword Dao in the future, Feng can teach you with all my strength."

"Then thank you, Sect Master Feng."

"You are too courteous, Your Majesty."

Thus, the Wind Sword Sect submitted to the Aiven Kingdom.

For the next period of time, Aiven and his group temporarily remained at the Wind Sword Sect to learn the Sword Flight Technique.

At the same time, they used the Wind Sword Art as a reference while attempting to explore the Sword Dao.

Seeing that Aiven was determined to study the Sword Dao, Feng Bailong taught him everything he had. He held nothing back, passing on all the insights and experience he had gained throughout his life regarding the Sword Dao.

Under Feng Bailong's guidance, Aiven's swordsmanship and comprehension of the Sword Dao began to improve rapidly.
