Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique Shows Its Might!

Seeing Chen Changqing assume such a strange stance.

Everyone present was taken aback.

"What's going on?"

"What's he doing, pressing his hand on his sword?"

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

"Doesn't everyone control swords remotely? 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 body.

"Boom! Boom!"

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

Terrifying Sword Qi raged like a storm.

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

Cracks even appeared across it!

The watching disciples were all deeply shaken.

Many disciples retreated one after another. Those with weaker cultivation even had their robes sliced apart by the leaking Sword Qi, blood streaks appearing on their faces.

Just moments ago, they had still been questioning why Chen Changqing had taken 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 grave at the sight.

He too sensed the terror of that Sword Qi.

"Just Sword Qi alone possesses such power."

"The sword technique he is about to unleash... what kind of sword technique is it?"

With that thought, Shi Tian dared not be careless. His fingers flew as he rapidly formed hand seals!

"Suppress!"

With Shi Tian's low shout, the giant condensed from stone earlier shot into the air, then came 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 emphasized speed, but this was not yet the moment to strike.

"Rumble!"

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

"Bang! Bang!"

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

At that sight, everyone watching went numb!

"This?"

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

"How is that possible?"

"How could a Foundation Establishment Early Stage disciple 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.

In the First Courtyard's area.

The disciples who had been clamoring earlier were all dumbfounded when they saw the enormous stone giant crushed by 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?"

"..."

When they had first seen Shi Tian reveal his Stone Spirit Physique, the First Courtyard disciples had thought victory was secure.

When they saw Chen Changqing unable to break Shi Tian's defense, many had even sneered and mocked him.

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

Shi Tian was not the only one 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'm not seeing things, am I?"

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

"What sort 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 originally thought Chen Changqing was already very powerful, but now it seemed she had still underestimated his strength.

Qingyang wore a look of astonishment as he secretly marveled.

"I never thought this kid had hidden himself so deeply."

At the same time, Li Yang, Wen Liang, and Meng Zhou were all left staring wide-eyed.

"What terrifying Sword Qi!"

"How did this kid suddenly become so strong?"

"Back in the Void Realm, he was still at the Qi Refining level. After coming out, he reached Foundation Establishment? And even used such a bizarre sword technique?"

"..."

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

They wondered whether Chen Changqing's sudden growth had something to do with the opportunity he had snatched from them.

Just as the Outer Courtyard crowd 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 shocked, and the pressure of his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation leaked out uncontrollably.

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

"How could the Yinyue Holy Dynasty's sect-defending ultimate art appear in the hands of an Outer Sect disciple of Mount Shu?"

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

After all, it was the ultimate art of one of the ten great Demon Sects—the Yinyue Holy Dynasty.

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

"Could this boy be connected to the Yinyue Holy Dynasty?"

"Is he a disciple of the Demon Sect?"

"No! If he truly were someone the Demon Sect had planted within Mount Shu, he could not possibly use the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique before everyone."

Just as True Person Tianbo hesitated in confusion.

Chen Changqing abruptly drew his sword.

"Clang!!"

A clear sword cry rang out across heaven and earth.

The next instant, it was as though Chen Changqing flung a silver ribbon from his hand.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom..."

The terrifying Sword Qi reached its peak at that moment!

A vast sword might swept outward.

Everything in its path was crushed to dust!

"Ah?"

When Shi Tian saw that world-destroying sword strike, every hair on his body stood on end.

Deep in his heart, he even felt a fear of death rise up.

Seeing that silver ribbon sweep toward him, Shi Tian had no time to think of anything else.

"Spirit Stone Armor!"

Accompanied by Shi Tian's furious roar, he hurriedly mobilized all the spiritual power in his body.

In but a few breaths, a thick grayish-white stone armor instantly covered his body, ancient defensive runes flowing across its surface.

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

"Boom!"

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

"Whoosh!"

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

"Bang!!"

Accompanied by an earthshaking roar.

That inverted silver ribbon slammed into Shi Tian's body.

The terrifying explosion was deafening. The White Jade Arena collapsed, and the blinding sword light made people unable to 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 been ravaged beyond recognition. The barrier surrounding it had grown dim as well, as though it might shatter at any moment.

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

And within the crater, Shi Tian lay flat on his back.

The Petrification Armor that had covered his body was 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 robe billowing in the wind.

At some unknown point, the Cheng Ying sword had already returned to its sheath.

The outcome of Chen Changqing's battle with Shi Tian was already obvious!
