Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique Shows Its Might!

Seeing Chen Changqing assume such a strange stance.

Everyone present was startled.

"What's going on?"

"What's he doing, holding down his sword?"

"If he wants to draw his sword, then draw it. What's the point of striking that pose? Is he trying to scare people?"

"Isn't everyone using Sword Flight? Who still draws a sword?"

"..."

Just as the many disciples hesitated.

Chen Changqing pressed his right hand against his sword, and a suffocating Sword Intent suddenly erupted from his entire body.

"Boom boom!"

In an instant, the entire White Jade Arena was swallowed by dazzling silver light.

Terrifying Sword Qi raged like a storm.

Under the onslaught of that Sword Qi, the ground cracked apart inch by inch, and even the arena's protective barrier shook violently.

Cracks even appeared across it!

The watching disciples were all deeply shaken.

Quite a few disciples retreated one after another. Those with weaker cultivation had even had their robes cut apart by the escaping Sword Qi, blood marks appearing on their faces.

Just moments ago, they had been questioning why Chen Changqing had assumed a sword-drawing stance.

Who could have imagined that, at this moment, such terrifying Sword Qi would erupt?

On the arena, Shi Tian's expression immediately turned solemn at the sight.

He too sensed the terror of that Sword Qi.

"Merely Sword Qi already possesses such power."

"What kind of sword technique is he about to unleash...?"

With that thought, Shi Tian did not dare slack off. His fingers flew as he rapidly formed hand seals!

"Suppress!"

Following Shi Tian's low cry, the giant formed from condensed stones earlier soared into the air before crashing down toward Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing still maintained his sword-drawing stance.

The Sword Qi around him grew even more violent.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique prized speed above all else, but now was not yet the time to strike.

"Rumble rumble!"

As the enormous stone giant came crashing down, streams of Sword Qi shot straight up to meet it.

"Bang bang!"

Immediately afterward, the massive stone giant was sliced apart by the Sword Qi and shattered into rubble.

At that sight, every spectator was utterly numb!

"This?"

"Even the Sword Qi leaking out is this terrifying?"

"How is that possible?"

"How can a disciple at Foundation Establishment Early Stage possess such terrifying Sword Intent?"

"Why do I feel that the terror of this Sword Qi has already surpassed the scope of Foundation Establishment?"

Disciples from every courtyard cried out in alarm.

At First Courtyard.

The disciples who had been shouting so arrogantly earlier were all dumbfounded when they saw the giant stone man crushed directly by the Sword Qi.

"What?"

"How could this be?"

"That was the stone giant Senior Brother Shi Tian condensed with his Stone Spirit Physique!"

"It was destroyed just like that?"

"..."

Earlier, when they saw Shi Tian reveal his Stone Spirit Physique, the many First Courtyard disciples had thought victory was assured.

When they saw Chen Changqing unable even to break Shi Tian's defenses, quite a few of them had mocked and ridiculed him.

But now, as Chen Changqing became serious as well, they finally realized.

It was not only Shi Tian who had been hiding his methods. Chen Changqing had been doing the same.

In the Seven Courtyards Area.

The disciples were likewise stunned by the scene before them.

"I... I didn't see that wrong, did I?"

"That terrifying giant stone man was ground to pieces by Sword Qi just like that?"

"What kind of sword technique is Junior Brother Chen about to use?"

"There probably isn't such a terrifying sword technique in the Technique Hall, is there?"

"..."

Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"Junior Brother Chen... is he this strong?"

She had already thought Chen Changqing was powerful, but now it seemed that she had still underestimated his strength.

Qing Yang wore a look of astonishment as he secretly sighed.

"I never expected this kid to hide himself so deeply."

At the same time, Li Yang, Wen Liang, and Meng Zhou all stood there dumbstruck.

"What terrifying Sword Qi!"

"How did this kid suddenly become so strong?"

"Back in the Void Realm, he was still at Qi Refining. He came out and reached Foundation Establishment? And he can even unleash such a bizarre sword technique?"

"..."

Amid their shock, the three of them all had the same thought.

Could Chen Changqing's sudden increase in strength have something to do with him snatching their fortuitous opportunity?

Just as everyone in the Outer Courtyard stood stunned.

True Person Tianbo, hovering in midair, suddenly changed expression.

"This is... the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique?"

As he spoke, True Person Tianbo was utterly shaken. Even his Nascent Soul Realm pressure leaked out uncontrollably.

He stared fixedly at Chen Changqing on the arena, while stormy waves surged through his heart.

"How did the Yin Yue Holy Dynasty's sect-defending ultimate art end up in the hands of an Outer Disciple of our Shushan?"

As a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, True Person Tianbo naturally knew the reputation of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.

After all, it was the ultimate art of one of the ten great Demonic Sects—the Yin Yue Holy Dynasty.

What he could not understand was why Chen Changqing knew it.

"Could this child be connected to the Yin Yue Holy Dynasty?"

"Is he a disciple of the Demonic Sect?"

"No! If he truly were someone from the Demonic Sect planted within Shushan, he could not possibly reveal the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique before everyone!"

Just as True Person Tianbo hesitated in confusion.

Chen Changqing suddenly drew his sword.

"Clang!!"

A crisp Sword Chime resounded through heaven and earth.

The next moment, it seemed as if Chen Changqing flung out a silver ribbon from his hand.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom..."

At this moment, the terrifying Sword Qi reached its peak!

Vast sword might swept outward.

Everything in its path was ground to dust!

"Ah?"

When Shi Tian saw that heaven-destroying, earth-shattering strike, every hair on his body stood on end.

Deep within his heart, he even felt a terror of death.

As the silver ribbon swept across toward him, Shi Tian had no time to think of anything else.

"Spirit Stone Armor!"

With Shi Tian's furious roar, he hurriedly activated all the spiritual power in his body.

In just a few breaths, thick gray-white stone armor instantly covered his body, ancient defensive Runes flowing across its surface.

This was the Stone Spirit Physique's supreme defensive method.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the sword radiance released by Chen Changqing's drawn sword had already transformed into a silver sword rainbow stretching across a hundred zhang.

"Whoosh!"

The sword radiance tore through the sky. Wherever it passed, space twisted, and even light seemed to be annihilated.

"Bang!!"

Accompanied by an earth-shaking roar.

That inverted silver ribbon had already slammed into Shi Tian.

The terrifying explosion was deafening. The White Jade Arena collapsed, and the blinding sword light made no one dare look directly at it.

Only after quite some time did the turmoil finally subside.

When the smoke and dust dispersed, the entire venue fell silent, countless gazes converging.

Looking closely, they saw that the White Jade Arena had already been utterly wrecked. The barrier surrounding it had grown dim as well, looking as though it might shatter at any moment.

Besides that, a massive crater thirty zhang in diameter had appeared in the center of the arena.

Within the crater, Shi Tian lay flat on his back.

The petrified armor that had covered his body was now filled with spiderweb-like cracks.

His face was somewhat pale, and blood stained the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Chen Changqing stood proudly between heaven and earth, his long robes snapping in the wind.

At some point, the Chengying Sword had already returned to its sheath.

The outcome of his battle with Shi Tian was already obvious!
