In the blink of an eye, only Wang Hao and Wang Lingbo remained in the huge square; at least, on the surface, only the two of them were left.
"I have heard that the Mount Heng Sword Sect has three great sword techniques: the first is the Hundred Transformations and Thousand Illusions Mount Heng Cloud and Mist Thirteen Styles, the second is the Returning Wind, Falling Wild Goose Swordsmanship, and the third is the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords."
I have already seen the first two types. I wonder if I will have the honor of seeing the last one Mount Heng Five Divine Swords?
Wang Hao watched with great interest as Wang Lingbo, whose killing intent was not concealed in the slightest, appeared to be in the lead. He was very interested in the strongest sword technique of the Mount Heng Sword Sect.
Although he later managed to obtain the martial arts manuals of the Mount Heng Sword Sect, how could a monotonous manual compare to vivid examples?
Moreover, some essential teachings are not recorded in manuals; they are mostly passed down orally. Even worse, there are those that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words. Therefore, it is quite necessary to witness the results of these people's arduous cultivation.
When you combine it with the secret manual to comprehend it, it will be much easier and you will save a lot of Fortune Points.
Moreover, the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords are different from the Returning Wind, Falling Wild Goose Sword and the Ever-Changing Mount Heng Cloud and Mist Thirteen Styles. These two sword techniques are only at the Grandmaster level, while the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords are definitely a Half-step Innate level martial art.
This thing should not be underestimated!
Wang Hao is more worried about now is how much of the essence of the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords that the Mount Heng Sect Leader Wang Lingbo has actually learned. After all, judging from the story of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Proud Wanderer, the Five Mountains Sword Sect experienced a break in their lineage.
In Old Master Jin's novel, Mo Da did not receive the complete inheritance of the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords, causing this unique skill to lose its core essence.
Furthermore, Wang Lingbo has only barely reached the Late Grandmaster Level, and his Sword Intent is not very strong. He probably won't be able to learn the essence of the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords.
You will see!
Wang Lingbo's expression grew even colder as he slowly drew his sword, his gaze fixed directly on Wang Hao opposite him.
Wang Hao also became more cautious. After all, Wang Lingbo was a veteran powerhouse at the Late Grandmaster Level, whose strength was incomparable to that of newcomers like Yamato and Liu Zhengfeng.
Not to mention those old guys lurking around; they might launch a sneak attack at a crucial moment, so it's best to be cautious.
The two remained locked in a stalemate, each trying to find a weakness in the other. Unfortunately, neither was an easy opponent, making it incredibly difficult to find a flaw in the other's defenses.
And even if you find a flaw, how can you be sure it's not a trap deliberately set by the other party?
After a brief standoff, Wang Hao grew impatient and launched his attack in a flash.
He wasn't in the mood to waste any more time with this old man; it was best to finish this quickly.
Seeing Wang Hao attack, a glint flashed in Wang Lingbo's eyes. He drew his sword and met the attack head-on, using the Mount Heng Sword Sect's strongest technique— the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords!
As expected of the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords, the strongest sword technique of the Mount Heng Sword Sect, it put considerable pressure on Wang Hao, making him unable to be as relaxed and at ease as he was when facing Yamato and Liu Zhengfeng.
Besides Wang Lingbo being stronger, the main reason is the power of the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords.
After all, this is a Half-step Innate martial art. Although it cannot compare to a true Innate martial art, it is still much stronger than Acquired -Grandmaster level martial art.
However, Wang Hao was not to be outdone. He used the sword he had taken from Liu Zhengfeng to unleash the Impermanence Swordsmanship, which was developed from the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle based on Avoid the Solid and Strike the Void strong and attacking the weak, and confronted Wang Lingbo's Mount Heng Five Divine Swords head-on.
With the support of powerful True Spirit Sword Intent, coupled with formidable Innate Sword Qi and unparalleled strength, although the Impermanence Swordsmanship Technique developed from the "Avoid the Solid and Strike the Void and Attack the Weak" move was not very powerful, it still managed to hold on.
At first, Wang Hao was slightly at a disadvantage, but he quickly made progress, mainly in the Impermanence Swordsmanship.
Although the Impermanence Swordsmanship is a dungeon sword technique that evolved from other Dao Comprehension Function, it was created by Wang Hao himself using his enlightenment ability. It is most suitable for him, so it has great potential for development. As long as he incorporates enough similar sword techniques, he can enhance its power.
Coincidentally, the sword style of the Mount Heng Sword Sect is very similar to the Impermanence Swordsmanship. Having previously witnessed Mo Da's ever-changing and Thousand-Illusory Mount Heng Cloud and Mist Thirteen Styles and Liu Zhengfeng's Returning Wind, Falling Wild Goose Swordsmanship, he had greatly helped improve his Impermanence Swordsmanship.
Now that you've witnessed the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords, the strongest swords of the Mount Hengshan Sect, and have integrated their essence into the Impermanence Swordsmanship, their power will naturally increase rapidly.
A quarter of an hour later, there was a faint tendency for them to turn the tables and suppress Wang Lingbo.
Sensing the change in Wang Hao's swordsmanship, Wang Lingbo's expression turned even uglier. Suddenly, he hardened his heart, surged his true energy in his abdomen, and triggered a hidden mechanism. Instantly, a cluster of fine needles shot out, aimed directly at Wang Hao.
The two were already engaged in fierce combat at very close range. In such a sudden turn of events, there was no space or time to dodge, so Wang Hao could only use his longsword to its fullest extent to block.
These fine needles are specifically designed to break through external defenses; even some protective internal energy is difficult to withstand them. He didn't want to test whether his own defense could withstand them.
Therefore, I can only use my longsword to defend myself!
Instead of immediately launching a strong attack, Wang Lingbo had activated the hidden Hidden Weapon, strangely sheathed his sword and even closed his eyes.
However, this strange behavior only lasted for a blink of an eye. Then, Wang Lingbo suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, and a sword light that was restrained to the extreme burst forth.
"Bite!"
With a crisp sound, the longsword in Wang Hao's hand broke in two.
"Do it!"
After unleashing that sword strike, Wang Lingbo shouted loudly and then launched a fierce attack on Wang Hao.
He knew that his previous sword strike wouldn't have killed Wang Hao, so he aimed at the sword that Wang Hao had taken from his disciple Liu Zhengfeng.
He had already realized that the opponent's swordsmanship was very strong, but no matter how powerful your swordsmanship is, your combat strength will be greatly reduced without your longsword. That's when their opportunity came.
Thinking of this, Wang Lingbo's face contorted with rage, and he looked at Wang Hao with increasing mockery.
"This brat dares to challenge my Mount Heng Sword Sect without even bringing a sword; he's practically courting death!"
At the same time, the four Grandmaster -level experts hidden nearby rushed over and launched a deadly attack on Wang Hao.
These four men were all fellow apprentices of Wang Lingbo. They had spent decades together and had developed an extraordinary understanding of each other.
Even though there had been no prior discussion, they knew how to cooperate after Wang Lingbo shouted it out.
The four each used a different sword technique, forming a five-person sword formation to launch a deadly attack on Wang Hao.
Facing the deadly attack from the five, Wang Hao remained calm, showing no sign of worry.
After scanning the five old men surrounding him, Wang Hao discarded his broken sword, reached to his waist, and a flash of purple sword light appeared. The swords of Wang Lingbo and the other three men finally pierced Wang Hao's body.
Although the stab wound landed on Wang Hao, the five men showed no joy; instead, their expressions turned quite grim.
Because the tips of their swords were broken off!
That's right, the tips of the five men's longswords were just severed by Wang Hao using the Ziwei Soft Sword. Although the Ziwei Soft Sword was too soft to withstand much force.
However, due to its extreme sharpness, coupled with Wang Hao's Innate Sword Qi, it became even more unparalleled in its sharpness. Faced with this unparalleled sharpness, even if it could not exert too much force, it was still enough to cut the longswords of these five people in half.
After all, these five people were only at the Grandmaster level, and the quality of their swords was inferior to Ling Situi saber from that day, so they naturally couldn't withstand the attack.
Before Wang Hao could strike again and kill the five, Wang Lingbo, sensing something was wrong, retreated hastily. But how could Wang Hao let them escape so easily?
He unleashed the Ziwei Soft Sword in his hand using the Impermanence Swordsmanship, doubling its power compared to before, and the sword itself became even more unpredictable.
The Impermanence Swordsmanship Technique was created based on the characteristics of a soft sword. Its core essence comes from the phrase "soft sword impermanent" from Old Master Jin, the number one Dugu Qiubai character in Jin Yong's works.
Therefore, only by using a soft sword can the true power of the Impermanence Swordsmanship be revealed, and the more flexible the sword blade, the better.
However, Wang Lingbo four companions were all veteran Grandmaster- level experts. Although they were all slashed by Wang Hao with his Ziwei Soft Sword, they eventually withdrew from the battle.
Wang Lingbo, who had stepped back, pressed acupoints near the wound to stop the injury. He looked at his own sword, which had lost its tip, and then at the Ziwei Soft Sword that was dangling in Wang Hao's hand. His old face turned ashen.
He originally thought that cutting the longsword he had taken from Wang Hao would lay the foundation for victory, but who would have thought that the other party had actually brought a sword up the mountain. However, that sword was too special; it was hidden in his belt and was a peerless divine weapon with unparalleled sharpness.
How the hell are we supposed to fight like this?
"This fiend's ambitions are blatantly obvious. If we don't eliminate him, our Mount Heng Sword Sect will surely be plunged into a bloodbath. It is time for us to sacrifice ourselves!"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Lingbo spoke resolutely.
The other four people around hesitated for a moment, but ultimately all showed a resolute determination.
" Sword Sacrifice Instruction!"
The five men shouted in unison, their auras suddenly surging. A tangible sword energy then energized their swords. Before Wang Hao could figure out what was happening, the five men launched another powerful attack.
With the support of this solidified sword energy, the five of them actually withstood the unparalleled sharpness of the Ziwei Soft Sword and the Innate Sword Qi when they clashed head-on with Wang Hao.
This put Wang Hao in a tough fight, and he even sustained some injuries.
The sword -Sword Sacrifice Instruction unleashed by these five people was far too strange and powerful, and it even seemed to have the potential to break through his body's defenses.
At the same time, the sword formation of these five people was also very exquisite and perfect, and gradually Wang Hao also roughly understood the essence of this sword formation.
This sword formation is a variant application of the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords Mount Heng Five Divine Swords, which consists of five sword techniques, all of which are at the level of Grandmaster Acquired.
The essence of the Mount Heng Five Divine Swords lies in fusing these five sword techniques into one, which is the true form of Half-step Innate skill.
Unfortunately, the Mount Heng Sword Sect has no successors. Not only are the descendants not talented enough, but even this essence of the sect has been lost. No one can cultivate to the supreme realm of the Five Swords as One.
However, the sword formation they developed was extraordinary. Each of the five people mastered a sword technique to its fullest potential, and then they cooperated to form a sword formation, which increased its power several times over.
Even a typical Half-step Innate expert would have to take this sword formation seriously.
Of course, this refers to the situation where Wang Lingbo and the other four used the Sword Sacrifice Instruction to enhance their combat power; in their original ordinary state, it wouldn't be very powerful.
After all, the Five Divine Swords Sword Formation is merely an evolution of the moves to a flawless extreme, making it impossible to break through by focusing on the moves themselves. However, the addition of the substantial sword energy unleashed by the Sword Sacrifice Instruction makes all the difference.
It was a fundamental enhancement, and it could even complement the Five Divine Swords Sword Formation, causing its power to increase more than tenfold.
This made the situation quite tricky. Even though Wang Hao was confident in his strong defense, he didn't dare to directly confront the strange sword energy unleashed by these five people, as it could truly break through his defenses.
The battle remained deadlocked once again. Although Wang Hao was being suppressed and at a disadvantage, his life was not in danger.
Now Wang Lingbo four companions were in a hurry, as this stalemate was going to be very disadvantageous for them.
It's important to understand that while the Blood Sacrifice Instruction unleashes immense power, the price is their lives, and life force is finite, so they can't hold on for long.
Realizing this, Wang Lingbo and the other four exchanged knowing glances and nodded in agreement, deciding to use that final measure to end this monster.
