This is so hard for me!
Yang Zhen stared longingly at the motionless space in mid-air, her face filled with a sigh.
Luo Shan Yang seemed to see Yang Zhen's bewilderment and burst into laughter. "I thought your Sword Dao was so profound, but it turns out it's nothing special. You can't even communicate with the Sword Spirit. What makes you think you can compete with me?"
As he spoke, Luo Shan Yang glanced at the equally bewildered Yaoguang Holy Son, chuckled, and said, " Yang Zhen, don't embarrass yourself. Just stand there and watch me subdue the Sword Spirit; that's a stroke of luck for you!"
This is why ordinary people come to see the Sword Spirit. Even if they can't obtain the Sword Spirit, watching Luo Shan Yang subdue it can improve their Sword Dao Sword Spirit perhaps even help them develop a Sword Heart and embark on the path of a sword disciple.
This is the best possible outcome. Upon hearing Luo Shan Yang's words, everyone became excited. Every cultivator who aspired to master the art of Sword Dao looked intently at Luo Shan Yang.
At this moment, the entire mountaintop was Luo Shan Yang's home ground.
As for Yang Zhen, after going up there, he only sat for a while and said some inexplicable things.
Those cultivators who still held some hope for Yang Zhen all wore expressions of disappointment.
It turns out that Yang Zhen's skill in Sword Dao is indeed not as good as that of ordinary people!
The Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord looked at the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable with a puzzled expression and asked, "Strategy?"
Nine Dragons blushed slightly, then nodded firmly and said, "It must be a strategy. That bastard Yang Zhen always manages to do what others can't, unleashing astonishing potential in dire situations. All we have to do is wait!"
Yang Zhen hadn't even realized that this old geezer, Nine Dragons, actually had the potential to be a charlatan. It seems he'll have to nurture him properly in the future, otherwise, wouldn't this talent be wasted?
Seeing the disdain on Luo Shan Yang's face, Yang Zhen wasn't angry. After all, it was the truth, and Yang Zhen was able to accept it.
"Well, you can continue communicating, I'll practice my Sword Dao for a bit first!"
Yang Zhen's words completely stunned everyone on the mountain.
Practice... practice Sword Dao for a while?
Want to practice Sword Dao for a while?
Are you sure you're not here to be funny?
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen with a bewildered expression. Even Nine Dragons widened his eyes and asked, "Kid, are you sure you can do this?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "It should be fine!"
As he spoke, Yang Zhen actually took out the Great Deficiency Sword and slowly began to wield it.
This action left everyone looking completely bewildered.
What kind of Swordsmanship is this?
It was as slow as a thousand-year-old man wielding a sword. At such a slow speed, if it were in battle, Yang Zhen would have died a thousand times over before he could even unleash a single strike.
Luo Shan Yang stared blankly at Yang Zhen slowly wielding his sword, a solemn expression on his face. After watching for a long while, he suddenly said angrily, "You bastard, are you insulting the Sword Dao?"
Yang Zhen's dance was truly awful. Not only was it completely chaotic, but it was also Slowpoke as an ordinary person's, and there wasn't a trace of Sword Dao about him.
Yang Zhen remained unresponsive to Luo Shan Yang's insults, as if he had entered a strange state.
But what state can this Swordsmanship achieve?
Is this a joke?
Luo Shan Yang chuckled, and with a booming sound, his body surged with Sword Intent, countless Sword Qi condensed in mid-air, and the Willow Heart Sword reappeared.
Without Yang Zhen's interference, Luo Shan Yang's Sword Intent grew even stronger, making him seem worlds apart from Yang Zhen.
No one noticed that as soon as Yang Zhen began his sword dance, the Sword Devil's face turned solemn, and even his eyebrows furrowed together.
"What... what kind of Swordsmanship is this?"
The name of the Sword Devil —where would it be permitted to display Swordsmanship never before witnessed?
Although Yang Zhen's dance was ugly, it was not without rules. On the contrary, the transitions between each sword strike were seamless. However, it seemed that Yang Zhen had not yet mastered the basics!
Swordsmanship without any basic skills, Swordsmanship so slow, Swordsmanship so... flawless!
To Yang Zhen, this Swordsmanship was laughable, but if it were the Sword Devil, he was confident that he could perfect it into an extremely powerful Swordsmanship Swordsmanship two years, combining offense and defense.
Upon hearing the phrase "a balance of offense and defense," the Sword Devil's expression finally changed.
Seeing the Sword Devil's expression change, Nine Dragons let out a soft exclamation, exchanged a glance with the Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord, and slowly walked towards the mountaintop, subtly blocking the Sword Devil's path.
Sword Devil knew exactly what the two were thinking. He snorted coldly, made no move, and stared intently at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen did indeed enter a mysterious state, not quite an epiphany, but rather a recollection, as if he had traversed endless void and returned to a park on a blue planet!
Thanks to that unwavering old man, Yang Zhen suffered quite a bit from his Taiji Sword swordplay while jogging in the park in the morning. The old man even insisted on dragging Yang Zhen to watch a few times.
That's right, Yang Zhen was his only audience!
Taiji Sword!
There are many types of Taiji Sword, but Yang Zhen only remembers the one the old man used.
Now that I think about it, I've forgotten most of it. If it weren't for Yang Zhen's exceptional talent and amazing memory, he wouldn't have remembered it at all.
At first, Yang Zhen was still feeling his way forward, but after practicing for the fifth time, the energy within Yang Zhen completely changed!
Buzz--!
A soft hum was heard, barely audible, yet for some reason, everyone on the entire hilltop heard it.
As Yang Zhen wielded his Great Deficiency Sword, a series of sword shadows appeared around Yang Zhen. Although the movements were extremely slow, the sword shadows were inextricably linked.
This sudden turn of events startled everyone.
The more skilled a cultivator was in Sword Dao, the more shocked they became when faced with this terrifying sword shadow.
Just then, Luo Shan Yang suddenly burst into laughter, his whole body trembled, and with a casual wave of his hand, the Willow Heart Sword covering the mountains and plains immediately emitted a series of soft sounds.
The next moment, Luo Shan Yang opened his eyes and said to Yang Zhen, "When I lure out the Sword Spirit, it will be your infamous wolf... This is impossible!"
Buzz--!
Another buzzing sound rang out, and the dense sword shadows on Yang Zhen's body became completely illusory, with a huge black and white Taiji Diagram appearing behind Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen ignored him and casually picked up the sword, as if witnessing the old man in the park's natural Swordsmanship.
However, the old man in the park is ultimately just a figurehead; without any flow of True Essence, he can only exist in name only.
Yang Zhen is different. With his extraordinary talent, when he practiced the Yang Zhen Taiji Sword for the tenth time, he even deduced the flow of True Essence, which was in line with the profound principles of heaven and earth and the art of Yin and Yang!
Damn, there's definitely something on that blue planet!
Yang Zhen became even more certain!
A sense of joy welled up in Yang Zhen's mind. Yang Zhen grinned, thinking, "This little thing has finally taken the initiative to chat with this Sage of Saunter."
What did you say?
While practicing his swordplay, Yang Zhen asked the bewildered Luo Shan Yang.
Luo Shan Yang roared, pointing at Yang Zhen and howling, "Your Sword Dao is so profound, why did you lie to me?"
Why would I lie to you?
Yang Zhen blinked, his face completely bewildered. When did this Sage of Saunter ever lie to you?
This is so hard for me!
" Sword Spirit, take shape!" Luo Shan Yang suddenly roared, and the Sword-Ray covering the mountains and plains immediately converged towards the air not far in front of him.
Buzz--!
A golden, sword-shaped spirit appeared in everyone's sight.
Everyone gasped in surprise, looking at the Sword Spirit in mid-air with envy.
Luo Shan Yang laughed heartily, "Even though you deceived me, I have already gained the Sword Spirit's approval. How can you compete with me now?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they looked at Yang Zhen with some regret.
Too late, ultimately, it was still too late.
Yang Zhen slowly sheathed his sword and stood still, the Taiji Diagram behind him not disappearing. He looked at the Sword Spirit with interest and said, "Is it too late?"
