Breakthrough in the Midst of Battle
Before he knew it, Zhang Yu had already landed on the ground.
Amidst the bombardment of countless flying sword fragments, he no longer tried to suppress the flying swords, but instead stirred up large swaths of earth and rocks for defense.
At the same time, the Golden Thread Jade Bi and the Two Forms Yin-Yang Shield were Law Treasure.
Deep Frost Ray shot out from the Golden Thread Jade Bi, constantly hindering the movement of the flying sword.
At the same time, the Two Forms Yin-Yang Shield spewed out streams of icy mist, condensing the air and further blocking the flying sword's assassination attempt.
"Even when shattered to pieces, it can continue fighting and automatically aiming. Just as Mo Shang Jin said, is this the Sword Spirit of Heaven Sword University?"
Zhang Yu recalled what Mo Shang Jin had once said.
To assist in the Remote Operation of flying swords, Heaven Sword University possesses its own unique Basic Intelligent Artifact Spirit technology, which they call Sword Spirit.
This kind of Sword Spirit has almost no ability in dialogue, creation, or thinking; its strongest ability lies in image recognition and automatic aiming.
In conjunction with the unique cultivation method of Heaven Sword University, cultivators can nurture the Sword Spirit with this method. Once the sword control technique is used, there is no need for overly precise operation. Simply use the most violent magic power and the fiercest strength to forcefully move the sword to the target.
The Sword Spirit will assist the cultivator, guiding the flying sword to complete various cutting, impacting, and flying operations.
When combined with different sword- Cultivation Method, it can produce a variety of wonderful uses.
It is said that cultivators who are proficient in this art can use the Sword Spirit in conjunction with the Spirit Realm Network built by the Patrolling Sky Sword, and can even perform millimeter-level operations across thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers.
The Yue Guanqung before him was certainly not that powerful, but after the Sword Spirit combined with the Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi, the flying sword under his control continued to maintain its combat power no matter how it was shattered or destroyed.
In the blink of an eye, Sword Qi surged, and the ground beneath Zhang Yu's feet was sliced open layer by layer, like a crisscrossing chessboard unfolding between heaven and earth.
However, thanks to the Earth Suppressing Seal, Town Thunder Seal, and the layers of protection from the Golden Thread Jade Bi and the Two Forms Yin-Yang Shield, Zhang Yu was able to steadily withstand this attack.
Yue Guanqung's eyes flickered as he watched this scene. "Oh? Compared to the last battle, are there a few more Law Treasure? Or are they specifically designed to defend against flying swords?"
"Then let's see how long your Law Treasure can last."
With a flick of his finger, Yue Guanqung caused the swords in the Aerial Fortress below to vibrate as if they had heard a call, emitting increasingly loud sword cries.
These swords are not true flying swords; they are merely in the rudimentary form of swords, possessing a certain degree of sturdiness, but are not much stronger than ordinary knives and swords.
But the key point is that these swords designed by Heaven Sword University can carry Sword Spirit.
After the recent construction and preparation, Yue Guanqung's other teammates have used the materials on site to complete the manufacture of a large number of swords and infused them with Sword Spirit.
This is precisely the defensive fortification that the Civil Engineering Department of Heaven Sword University excels at— the Sword Formation.
Highly efficient, low-cost yet incredibly powerful, Yue Guanqung Sword Finger lightly, hundreds of swords shot into the sky, sweeping towards Zhang Yu like a storm.
Amidst the crackling and exploding sounds, numerous swords slammed into the earth and rocks that Zhang Yu had stirred up. Even though they shattered into pieces, the fragments still emitted sharp Sword Qi and continued to slash towards Zhang Yu.
With each clash of attacks, the sword's offensive power seemed to expand continuously.
If at the beginning it was just a torrent of hundreds of flying swords, then as the swords continued to shatter, it quickly became like a cloud of flying swords, completely surrounding Zhang Yu.
Hundreds and thousands of sword fragments swirled around Zhang Yu, relentlessly tearing at him. The atmosphere seemed to boil as countless swords rubbed against each other at extremely high speeds.
Under this high-speed attack, the protective barriers erected by Zhang Yu's Law Treasure emitted a series of crackling sounds—the sounds of swords shattering and the expansion of their power.
In the audience seats of the Spirit Realm, Wang Yin was also watching the battle.
Watching Zhang Yu being pressed down from the sky to the ground, and completely suppressed by the crisscrossing swords, the flashing Law Treasure light of his magic weapons was like a small candle flame in a storm, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Wang Yin thought to himself, "Zhang Yu, if you are defeated here, wouldn't all my years of arduous cultivation of my Dao Heart have been in vain?"
"Don't you fucking lose!"
"What about the power you derive from your Yin Artifact?"
"If it doesn't work, call a pause and bring the Yin Artifact to the scene for another test."
As the sword attacks intensified, numerous warnings appeared in Zhang Yu's Eye Remains.
The magical power of the Golden Thread Jade Bi Disc is less than 5%!
The Two Forms Yin-Yang Shield's mana is below 5%!
The Town Thunder Seal's power is below 3%!
The Earth Suppressing Seal's mana is below 1%! Please replenish mana within 30 seconds.
Bang!
As the aura of the Earth Suppressing Seal completely collapsed, the lightning strikes of the Town Thunder Seal also weakened rapidly, while Yue Guanqung's attacks became increasingly fierce.
Just then, Zhang Yu Yu's Gang Qi suddenly surged, and surging golden flames shot into the sky.
With the blessing of the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, Zhang Yu's Body Protecting Qi suddenly erupted with astonishing defensive power.
As the swords collided, the Body Protecting Qi first defended in a solid state, then transformed into a liquid state for cushioning, and finally turned into a gaseous state to dissipate the force.
Through this transformation of three states, Zhang Yu regained his footing amidst the storm of attacks.
After a period of stalemate, Yue Guanqung intensified his offensive once again.
A flying sword, appearing and disappearing like wisps of green smoke, floated in front of Yue Guanqung.
This flying sword was the former Military Grade Flying Sword that Wen Wuya had lent him— the Light Splitting Shadow Sword.
In fact, the Yue Guanqung does possess Professional Grade and Enterprise Grade flying swords.
But these two types of flying swords, especially the Enterprise Grade flying sword, are not cheap for him either.
In comparison, using someone else's flying sword is more cost-effective and makes it easier to suppress Zhang Yu.
The Light Splitting Shadow Sword shot into the sky, and in a flash, it transformed into 81 sword lights, which rushed towards Zhang Yu to kill him.
Amidst the slashing sword lights, they appeared and disappeared like phantoms.
Yue Guanqung thought to himself, "No wonder it's a former Military Grade Flying Sword collected by Wen Wuya."
"Under its control, this Light Splitting Shadow Sword can split into 81 sword lights, but only one of them is real. The real sword can freely move among the 81 sword lights and split again at any time."
"With this Light Splitting Shadow Sword, any sword light can be fake to me, because the moment it is captured, I can transfer the real sword to another sword light."
"As for Zhang Yu, any sword light can be real, because as long as the sword light seizes an opening, it can transform into a real sword to kill."
On the battlefield, 81 sword lights crisscrossed back and forth, appearing like phantoms. No matter how much the Deep Frost Ray, the Earthly Fiend Gravity, and the Body Protecting Qi collided, they could not have any effect on these phantoms.
After the phantom-like sword light pierced through the Body Protecting Qi, it instantly transformed into a real sword, stabbing towards Zhang Yu.
With a loud bang, just as Zhang Yu unleashed the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power to grab the Light Splitting Shadow Sword, the flying sword had already shifted to another sword light on the outer edge.
Amidst the Heavenly Sword, 81 sword lights emerged from within.
Zhang Yu had to resist the overwhelming Sword Qi while also being constantly wary of the ever-changing and unpredictable attacks of the Light Splitting Shadow Sword. In an instant, he was once again at a disadvantage.
While watching the competition, Wen Wuya's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Is it nearing its limit?"
"It is indeed the level 16 Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power."
Having satisfied his curiosity, Wen Wuya nodded slightly.
As for why Zhang Yu was defeated because of the Light Splitting Shadow Sword?
So what?
In Wen Wuya's view, this was no big deal at all. It was perfectly normal for the lives of the poor to change with a single thought.
At this moment, Wen Wuya had no expectations for the future of the competition, and instead thought about Zhang Yu's own value.
"He hesitated before, but perhaps with more contact, he'll be able to experience the Dual Cultivation Technology of Ten Thousand Laws University..."
But in the next moment, Wen Wuya suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"Um?"
On the field.
Zhang Yu, who had been suppressed, suddenly roared, and his aura surged dramatically.
Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power Level 17 - Propulsion!
The terrifying Earthly Fiend Gravity suddenly contracted, like a giant black hole swallowing up large swathes of Sword Qi and sword light.
"What!" Yue Guanqung's gaze sharpened. "You broke through?"
"He actually broke through at the last moment?!"
This breakthrough in Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power immediately disrupted Yue Guanqung's offensive.
He had originally calculated that the area covered by Zhang Yu's level 16 Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power suddenly expanded, not only covering a large area of swords, but also enveloping the 81 sword lights of the Light Splitting Shadow Sword.
However, after the Light Splitting Shadow Sword repeatedly split its sword light, it finally managed to escape Zhang Yu's suppression.
But the next moment, Zhang Yu let out a cold snort and suddenly stepped forward, soaring into the sky.
With the infusion of Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, he instantly shattered the atmosphere, broke the sound barrier, and shot towards the Aerial Fortress of Heaven Sword University.
Seeing this scene, Yue Guanqung snorted coldly and looked towards the construction site of Ten Thousand Laws University. He saw that the entire construction site had been defended by layers of earth.
"Hmph, do you think you can rush over and fight back just because the construction site is completely blocked?"
At the same time, the Formation of Heaven Sword University was completed, and with the Formation in place, the entire arena was under Yue Guanqiong's observation.
At the same time, the swords that had been secretly placed high in the sky suddenly activated. With a flick of his Sword Finger, they pierced through the earth and attacked the students of Ten Thousand Laws University.
However, the Formation of Ten Thousand Laws University was also completed, and the earth seemed to turn into an iron wall at this moment, causing the speed of the sword to decrease sharply.
In Yue Guanqung's perception, the figures of everyone from Ten Thousand Laws University disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"They've blocked my senses?"
At the same time, with a loud shout from Zhang Yu, he fiercely grabbed at the Aerial Fortress with his palm.
With a deafening roar, accompanied by the violent shaking of the Aerial Fortress, the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power and the Formation power within it collided violently.
Yue Guanqung let out a cold shout and once again activated the Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi, manipulating countless Sword Qi to merge into 81 sword lights, attempting to drive Zhang Yu out again.
This time, he deliberately expanded the range so that he wouldn't be wiped out by the opponent's level 17 Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power.
But then Zhang Yu suddenly retreated, and then slammed his palm hard into the ground from a distance.
Amidst the dramatic undulations of the terrain, the horizon gradually rose as Zhang Yu exerted his strength.
"Hmm?" Yue Guanqung frowned upon seeing this, already guessing what Zhang Yu was planning. "Is he trying to grab the earth... and then smash it down?"
"But with your cultivation level, and without the support of Dharma Skeleton, how much terrain can you manipulate?"
Before Yue Guanqung could finish his thought, he saw a surge of Spiritual Energy converging towards Zhang Yu.
With the enhancement of the Formation's power, Zhang Yu felt his will continuously expand, extending outwards towards the arena, the earth, and the rock strata beneath his feet.
At that moment, he felt the range of the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power expanding continuously, and the earth trembled with his will.
The magical power within his body surged wildly! The Earthly Fiend Gravity continued to spread! Spread! Spread even further!
Sensing this scene, Yue Guanqung thrust her sword forward, relentlessly attacking Zhang Yu, gradually tearing Zhang Yu's golden Body Protecting Qi to shreds.
Zhang Yu ignored everything else and continued to focus his attention on the earth, spreading the influence of the Earthly Fiend Gravity as much as possible.
As the earth undulated more violently, Yue Guanqung's brows gradually furrowed.
"What if this power were to increase further?"
The next moment, seeing that the undulation of the earth had stopped increasing, Yue Guanqung's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips, "After all, it's only the level 17 Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power. The offensive that Zhang Yu wanted to launch has exceeded his ability. Even with the support of the Formation, he can't achieve it."
But at that moment, Zhang Yu roared, "Level 18 Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power!"
"Come out here!"
Boom!
The earth seemed to be suddenly grabbed by an invisible giant hand.
The horizon of most of the stadium rose rapidly, like a rectangular Da Shan soaring into the sky, casting a huge shadow over the entire sky fortress.
Then, under Zhang Yu's fierce grasp, the Da Shan emitted a buzzing roar, accompanied by howling winds, and slammed towards the Aerial Fortress of Heaven Sword University.
