Draw the Sword

Around the Divine Desolation Stage, all the spectators stared intently at the arena, afraid of missing any exciting moment. The atmosphere in the entire arena seemed to freeze.

The warriors of Tai'a Divine City were especially nervous, as Yi Yun was the only one they could field right now.

So far, the battle between Yi Yun Feng Lin can be described as evenly matched, and the outcome is unpredictable.

"You're truly remarkable!" Feng Lin looked at Yi Yun with admiration. "It's a pity... your cultivation level is limiting, which doomed you to defeat in this battle!"

Before Yi Yun could say anything after Feng Lin said this, the warriors of Tai'a Divine City below the Divine Desolation Stage immediately stirred up a commotion. "This Feng Lin, she really knows how to brag. Her so-called Eighteen Little Girls Formation was broken by Yi Yun!"

"Exactly! Eighteen people couldn't even beat one person, what's she so smug about?!"

Because of Yi Yun's previous string of victories, the warriors of Yi Yun Tai'a Divine City had complete confidence in him. Although the outcome of the battle was still uncertain, people were still hoping that Yi Yun could create a miracle at the last moment.

Some martial artists from Tai'a Divine City stood up and booed Feng Lin on the stage, but Feng Lin remained unmoved and completely ignored them.

Feng Lin continued, "Yi Yun, your skill in swordsmanship is astonishing, and your understanding of the <Tai'a Sacred Law> far surpasses that of your peers. Unfortunately, your cultivation level hasn't broken through to the Yuan Foundation stage, and your Yuan Qi is insufficient. This makes it difficult for you to mobilize your Yuan Qi when dealing with my Eighteen Sword Maidens Formation."

Feng Lin pointed out Yi Yun's weakness in the previous battle. Feng Lin eighteen men attacked together with almost no gaps in their attacks, their offensive was truly like a storm.

Yi Yun barely managed to handle the first round before the second round followed immediately!

This forced Yi Yun to forcefully draw upon his vital energy, putting immense pressure on his body and meridians.

If Yi Yun were at the Origin Foundation Realm stage with abundant Yuan Qi, this wouldn't have happened.

Even the warriors of Tai'a Divine City had to admit that what Feng Lin said was true.

However, what is the truth? Yi Yun may still have other hidden tricks up his sleeve to defeat his enemy at the last moment!

In the audience, martial artists from Tai'a Divine City began cheering for Yi Yun.

Just then, Feng Lin lightly gripped the Longsword at the top of the open sword box with one hand.

"Hmm? Could it be...?"

Yi Yun's heart stirred. After Feng Lin's sword box opened, nine swords appeared on each side, hilts facing upwards, like a peacock spreading its tail.

In fact, there was a sword hilt in the very center of the sword case. Previously, Yi Yun thought that the hilt was just the handle of the sword case. But now it seems that this is probably not the case.

"Clang!"

With a clear ringing sound, Feng Lin drew the giant sword from the top of the sword box!

This sword has a blade that is 1.56 meters long and a blade that is as wide as a palm, making it much larger than the other eighteen swords.

Such a heavy sword is more suitable for a strong man to use. It seems a bit out of place for Feng Lin to be holding it.

"This nineteenth sword is called the Heavenly Maiden Sword. It is also my last sword..." Feng Lin said, tossing the sword into the air.

At that moment, Feng Lin's entire body glowed, like countless shimmering pieces of silver.

Within this light, a girl of light and shadow is born, her arms crossed over her chest, her body curled up, and a pair of wings growing from her back.

"Smack!"

The girl in the light and shadow spread her wings, which had a wingspan of nearly three meters, completely enveloping Feng Lin.

The girl stood up from the light and shadow, as if she had hatched from a cocoon of light, and the last "Heavenly Maiden Sword" floated in front of the girl in the light and shadow.

She slowly grasped the Heavenly Maiden Sword, its blade pointing directly at Yi Yun!

This winged girl is over two meters tall, and this giant sword is perfect for her to wield!

"Dharma Aspect Totem?"

Yi Yun's pupils contracted slightly. Since the start of the battle, Feng Lin had not used her Dharma Aspect Totem. Yi Yun did not expect that Feng Lin's Dharma Aspect Totem was in the shape of a young girl. Moreover, apart from having wings on her back, the girl looked almost exactly like Feng Lin.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

With a series of soft sounds, Water Mirror reappeared around Feng Lin!

A Feng Lin passed by, and in the sky, there was also a totem of a girl with wings on her back.

"Nineteen swords!"

Upon seeing Feng Lin's Dharma Aspect Totem and her aura, the Tai'a Divine City warriors who had just jumped up and cursed Feng Lin immediately fell silent.

They all felt uneasy in the face of Feng Lin's demeanor.

"There are such Dharma Aspect Totem?"

The warriors of Tai'a Divine City looked at each other in bewilderment. They had seen the most animal-shaped Dharma Aspect Totem, as well as weapon-shaped Dharma Aspect Totem, such as swords, spears, and halberds.

However, human-shaped Dharma Aspect Totem are rarely seen.

The Dharma Aspect Totem is exactly the same as their own, except that it has a pair of wings. It looks really shocking, like a god from mythology!

The girl with wings on her back, her expression indifferent, seemed to disregard everything, including Yi Yun.

Her wings fluttered gently, and a hazy light enveloped her, while only the sword in her hand gleamed coldly, chilling the soul!

"Yi Yun, he..." Wen Yu, Chu Xiaoran and the others sitting in the contestants' seats couldn't help but worry. A martial artist can sometimes make people feel how terrifying he is just by the aura he exudes.

That's exactly what Feng Lin is like now.

The warriors of Tai'a Divine City fell silent. Those who had stood up returned to their seats, watching Yi Yun nervously.

In contrast to the audience in Tai'a Divine City, the audience in the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom cheered. Most of them had no chance to see Feng Lin unleash her ultimate power.

In this state, Feng Lin gives the impression of a fairy descended to earth.

"You broke my Jade Maiden Mirror Image, but it's useless. My vital energy is deeper than yours, so the Jade Maiden Mirror Images can be born endlessly. Can your vital energy support that?"

Feng Lin's cold voice rang out, and the ice-patterned Longsword pointed directly at Yi Yun.

There were nineteen swords in total, and the swords moved in perfect unison!

With nineteen swords pointed at him, Yi Yun's expression turned serious.

Feng Lin is indeed very strong, Yi Yun knows this very well, and with his current strength, he can no longer defeat Feng Lin.

Yi Yun was even considering whether to unleash his own Dharma Aspect Totem.

Having reached this point, Yi Yun could no longer hide the fact that he had condensed the Golden Crow Totem.

If Cang Yan and the others were to explain, it would be troublesome, but not impossible. They could simply recount how they encountered the battle between the Golden Crow Remnant and the Pure Yang Spirit at the Gate of Fallen Stars and use the Protective Talisman given to them by Su Jie. In that case, explaining how they killed the Golden Crow Remnant would be reasonable. However, how they managed to refine the <Myriad Beast Catalog> was hard to believe.

However... while Yi Yun's Dharma Aspect Totem is powerful, it has one problem: it consumes too much vital energy!

Feng Lin is right; Yi Yun's cultivation level is indeed his weakness.

With his limited spiritual energy, Yi Yun estimated that he could only unleash one or two moves to support the Golden Crow Totem.

Even if Yi Yun defeats Feng Lin by unleashing the Golden Crow Totem, it will likely take him several days to recover his strength.

However, this final group stage was a series of elimination matches.

Afterwards, Yi Yun will have to face other opponents from the Seventy-Two Towers of Cloud Dragon, especially that young man in black, whose strength is extremely mysterious and makes people wary.

In his extremely weakened state, it would be difficult for him to fight the black-clad youth.

Yi Yun realized that winning the overall championship by himself would be extremely difficult...

Regardless, do your best, and the rest is up to fate.

"Yi Yun, next, I will combine the Nineteen Swords. I remind you of something: with my current cultivation level, I have only just grasped this move. Once I use it, I will not be able to control its power, and it may cost you your life. You are a genius, there is no need for you to take such a risk for a league match. It's not too late for you to admit defeat now!"

Feng Lin held Longsword, and as the wind from the sword blew, her long hair flowed freely, making her look absolutely stunning!

Yi Yun looked at Feng Lin, took a deep breath, and gently touched his Space Ring. A purple Longsword appeared in Yi Yun's hand.

Sword!?

All the spectators present were startled when they saw Yi Yun draw his sword. Wasn't Yi Yun supposed to use a knife? How come he had drawn a sword?

Yi Yun looked at the purple Longsword, its four-foot blade lying horizontally, gleaming coldly.

This sword was chosen by Cang Yan and Yi Yun. In the armory of Tai'a Divine City, it is the best quality sword prepared for the trial participants.

This sword is named Qi Guang, and even a powerful figure like Qin Haotian would find it difficult to unleash its full power.

"Indeed..." Yi Yun gently stroked the sword's edge, as if talking to himself, "Some moves are difficult to control in terms of power. Although it's not a life-or-death duel, it can still be fatal. After all, in the final showdown, if you use a move you can't fully control when you're going all out, then the force is impossible to manage..."

"You are like that, and so am I..."

After Yi Yun said this, the entire audience fell silent.

What did Yi Yun just say? "Me too"?

If Yi Yun said that, wouldn't that mean he also has a move he can't control, one that could potentially kill Feng Lin?!

Feng Lin is so strong, yet Yi Yun might take her life?

Could it be related to this sword?

Is it true or false?

Yi Yun has always used a knife, which makes it hard to believe that he can use a sword with even greater power. After all, since ancient times, martial artists have generally specialized in one weapon. Those who practice both knife and sword are extremely rare in the history they know!

"You've used a sword before?" Feng Lin frowned slightly, looking at Yi Yun with suspicion. She had previously learned some information about Yi Yun. When Yi Yun was in Tai'a Divine City, his weapon was always a long saber.

"I haven't used it much before, but now I have to. I've only vaguely grasped some of the essence of this sword technique, and I'm not sure how much power I can unleash. And you are the first opponent I'll face with this sword move!"

After Yi Yun finished speaking, Feng Lin's delicate eyebrows furrowed even more.

[I'm going out again tomorrow. Since where I live is quite remote with no airport, I have to get up at five or six in the morning and won't arrive until two or three in the afternoon. It's a bit tough. As I mentioned before, I'm organizing an author event at the end of the month, which will take several days, so tomorrow's update will be late.]
