Defeating Senior Brother Lin Relied Entirely on Myself

The Asura Path All-Kill Sword's essence lies in its peculiar method of power application, originating from ancient Western Sect scriptures known as the "Yeyu Veda."

Its characteristic is triple-stage power release, with each stage stronger than the last... but that's all there is to it.

If one were unaware of this trait and rashly used a Flying Sword to block, they would surely suffer a great loss.

However, with Qingping Sword's reminder, Ling Yunpo naturally wouldn't fall for the trap.

Possessing the Innate Sword Bone, his control over Flying Swords was extremely potent. Qingping Sword merely explained it once, and he grasped it completely.

The twin swords Qingping and Shuangjiang clashed with Kaiyue and Changbing, with the latter pair immediately struggling.

Ninth Order Flying Swords naturally couldn't match Tenth Order Flying Swords in a head-on collision.

Lin Duanshan's expression turned icy. He secretly employed the secret power application method of the All-Kill Sword, and the force of his twin swords instantly grew heavier.

To his surprise, the force of his opponent's Flying Swords also suddenly intensified, pressing Kaiyue and Changbing back instantly, nearly causing them to hit Lin Duanshan himself.

Lin Duanshan:?????

I only used it once, how did you suddenly learn it?

He gritted his teeth and said fiercely:

"The All-Kill Sword is simple and brutal, its power application method imitates Taiyi, it's not difficult!"

"Watch my East Sea Jade Coral Sword!"

Before his words even fell, the Kaiyue and Changbing swords began to move with agility.

Qingping Sword lazily remarked:

"The East Sea Jade Coral Sword is a Swordsmanship from Penglai's Yuqing Temple, meant to be used in conjunction with Talismans and Magic Arrays. Otherwise, it's just for show. You can just fight casually."

Ling Yunpo remained unfazed. He quickly activated his Qingping and Shuangjiang swords, easily breaking through the defense of his opponent's twin swords.

Lin Duanshan's eyes widened in fury. He was clearly frustrated because he had put on a grand display earlier, only to be outshone by her Junior Brother in various ways in front of An Zhisu. Now, he couldn't back down and could only roar:

"Learning so much is useless! Watch me use the Orthodox Xuanmen Kunlun Swordsmanship!"

Before Qingping Sword could speak, Ling Yunpo's eyes lit up:

Oh, I'm very familiar with this!

In just a few exchanges, Ling Yunpo, relying on his extensive experience, suppressed the Kaiyue and Changbing swords with Qingping Sword alone. Shuangjiang Sword then seized the opportunity to circle around and press against Lin Duanshan's back.

Lin Duanshan stood frozen, his lips pressed tightly together, his eyes wide. He seemed to want to defend himself but ultimately said nothing.

An Zhisu, watching from the side, finally spoke with a smile:

"Junior Brother Lin, thank you for your guidance this time."

"Forget it, forget it." Lin Duanshan waved his hand dejectedly. Kaiyue retracted and flew to his side, while Changbing transformed into a stream of light and entered the sword sheath on his back.

He turned around, not wanting them to see his expression, and muttered:

"I, Lin Duanshan, am not someone who can't afford to lose."

"Senior Sister An, your Junior Brother has extraordinary talent, but because your master is in seclusion, it's truly wasting his swordsmanship talent."

"Although he has surpassed me in Swordsmanship, in the next match, that scoundrel Lou Zhizheng from Purple Cloud Peak won't hold back his cultivation."

"Fighting Marrow Cleansing with Qi Refining requires extraordinary means. Anyway... you should look out for yourselves."

The Kaiyue sword light landed beneath his feet, and Lin Duanshan mounted it, flying off into the distance.

"Thank you for going easy on me, Senior Brother!" Ling Yunpo shouted at his retreating figure.

In the distance, Lin Duanshan's sword light suddenly dipped by half a meter before shakily rising again, quickly disappearing from view.

"Senior Sister," Ling Yunpo turned his head and asked with a smile, seeking praise, "How was my performance this time?"

"You performed very well," An Zhisu said softly. "Lin Duanshan is the Senior Brother of King Kong Peak. He has a keen understanding of the sword path and can learn many different sect sword techniques just by looking at them, which is why he's so arrogant."

"There are very few disciples in all of Shushan whom he respects."

"That you could learn his sword techniques during the match and even make him admit defeat shows that your swordsmanship talent, Junior Brother, is definitely outstanding."

Ling Yunpo knew An Zhisu was saying this to prevent Lin Duanshan's earlier words from undermining his confidence. He quickly smiled and said:

"Of course! Hmph, even though he's the Senior Brother of King Kong Peak, didn't he still lose to me in Swordsmanship?"

Seeing his smug expression, An Zhisu found it amusing. She reached out to pat his shoulder but inexplicably recalled the night she returned injured and he had taken off her clothes to apply medicine, a shy memory.

Her emotions became strange, and she awkwardly retracted her half-extended hand.

Then she remembered the time Lou Zhizheng dropped the sword talisman, and she had panicked like a headless fly, even shedding tears.

Yet, her Junior Brother had calmly wiped away her tears for her.

At that time, his face truly shone with a confident smile of "everything is under control," which remained in An Zhisu's memory.

Although he is my Junior Brother...

He is ultimately someone I can trust and rely on.

With this thought, An Zhisu suddenly reached out again and took Ling Yunpo's arm.

"Let's go, Junior Brother!" she said with a radiant smile. "To celebrate you learning dual-wielding sword control, I'm going to give you a treasure."

"What treasure?" Ling Yunpo asked curiously.

"A Tenth-Order Immortal Sword left by Master," An Zhisu blinked.

Most Immortal Swords possess a degree of arrogance.

In other words, Immortal Swords are prone to developing sword spirits.

Once a sword spirit exists, it will choose its master, making the sword less useful.

This Flying Sword left by True Lord Qisha Su Jian is called "Lei Ji," a Tenth-Order Metal Flying Sword.

And it possesses its own sword spirit.

Because this sword spirit's personality is rather extreme, when Ling Yunpo initially asked if there were any Tenth-Order Flying Swords in the Sword Pool, An Zhisu hesitated for a moment before ultimately deciding not to reveal the existence of this Immortal Sword.

Regardless, having a disciple who had just learned the Sword Control Technique attempt to tame such an extremely difficult sword spirit was simply preposterous.

What if he was too disheartened and his self-esteem was wounded?

However, Ling Yunpo and Lin Duanshan's spar today made An Zhisu realize that her Junior Brother's talent in the way of the sword was astonishingly high.

Furthermore, due to the meddling of the Kunlun Mirror, his true nature had been exposed, making Senior Sister An realize that Ling Yunpo was not merely her obedient Junior Brother—he had matured to the point of having his own plans and schemes.

If that was the case, why not trust him a little more and let him try to refine "Lei Ji"?

"Senior Sister," Ling Yunpo's voice interrupted her thoughts, "you said earlier that this Immortal Sword had some issues?"

"Lei Ji," An Zhisu sighed, "it only recognizes Immortals as its sword master."

"Immortals?" Ling Yunpo's expression was strange. "How many Immortals are there in this world?"

Above the Nascent Soul stage lies the legendary Immortal.

Immortals are extremely rare in this world, and many cultivators never even hear a single word about Immortals in their entire lives.

But everyone unanimously guessed that at least within the righteous Three Pure Ones, each sect had an Immortal-ranked Grand Elder presiding over it.

Why would they even fancy a commonplace Tenth-Order Immortal Sword like Lei Ji?

"Mm," An Zhisu shook her head. "That's why it hasn't had a sword master to this day."
