Although, he had yet to start fighting, Zhang Ruochen knew that there was bound to be a huge gap between him and Ling Fei Yu.
One was a supreme Sword Saint who had cultivated for three hundred years, while the other was a low-ranked Half-Saint who had cultivated for less than thirty years, the gap between the two was like a Sword Dao Master and a clueless toddler.
However, Zhang Ruochen was curious to know just how great the gap between the two was.
Thus this battle was imperative.
The Sword Saint’s Holy Soul mobilised a steady stream of heaven and earth aura towards Zhang Ruochen, causing the power fluctuations on his body to become more and more intense, transforming into a multi-coloured chaotic cloud.
“Wow…”
The sword spirit awakened.
The Monstrous Sword emitted a piercing light, and a Thousand Mottled Destruction Power surged out from within the body of the sword, rushing towards Ling Fei Yu in the distance.
The more the number of inscriptions activated, the more powerful the Thousand Stripes Destruction Force would be.
Previously, even if Zhang Ruochen exhausted his Saint Qi, he could barely activate a thousand inscription lines. However, at this moment, under the excitement of the Saint Qi, thousands of inscription lines emerged from the sword body.
The same Thousand Inscription Destruction Power, the former and the latter, were simply incomparable.
Ling Fei Yu stood still, allowing the Thousand Stripe Destruction Force to fall on her body, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, if, you are able to block three moves from me, I can apologise to the Monstrous Sword Lineage. The point is, I’m afraid you won’t be able to block three moves.”
“Giggle.”
The Electricity Mother’s Purple Cloth emitted thousands of thunderbolts as if they were dragons and snakes, transforming into a spherical thunderbolt field with a diameter of ten miles.
“We will only see the difference after the battle.”
Zhang Ruochen stabbed out with his sword, and the thick sword qi surged out like a river of stars.
At the tip of the sword, a ball of incomparably bright circular light was formed, as if it was a bright moon hanging in the nine heavens, with a ten thousand-foot light that illuminated the dark sword mound as if it had turned into day.
“Nine stars ringing the moon.”
The bright moon and the river of stars descended from the sky at the same time, and with a piercing sound, it tore apart the field of thunder and lightning, enveloping Ling Fei Yu’s head.
Ling Fei Yu was still very calm, standing blandly in the centre of the lightning field, and under the purple electric light, his skin appeared to be extremely white, like a crystal clear holy jade.
“A mere Ghost Grade Upper Grade sword move, to be used against a Sword Saint? Zhang Ruochen, your sword move is undoubtedly like a child playing with a wooden sword, it’s just too clumsy and devoid of any subtlety other than brute force.”
Ling Fei Yu’s voice, coming from behind Zhang Ruochen, appeared in his mind as if it was already close at hand.
Ling Fei Yu’s speed was unknown how many times faster than the speed of sound.
If her voice, had already reached Zhang Ruochen’s ears, then Zhang Ruochen must have already died under her sword.
Obviously, the sentence just now, Ling Fei Yu had used her spiritual power to transmit it to Zhang Ruochen, and it wasn’t a sound wave transmission.
Even so, Zhang Ruochen’s face changed slightly, being able to feel Ling Fei Yu’s aura, right behind him, and was rushing towards him at a speed like streaming light.
If he turned around at this moment, he would definitely lose.
Could it be that he possessed the power of an Ancestor, yet he still couldn’t block a single move of the Sword Saint?
Zhang Ruochen was naturally very unwilling, and immediately flung his arm and crossed the Monstrous Sword behind him, forming a back-sword posture.
“Boom!”
Ling Fei Yu’s finger struck the body of the Monstrous Heavenly Sword, emitting an incomparably loud sound, with a powerful air current that scattered out in all directions.
In Zhang Ruochen’s mouth, a mouthful of blood was spat out, and his body was like a ray that was thrown forward, hitting the ground and denting it.
The ancestors of the Monstrous Sword lineage all let out a sigh, followed by some reprimanding Zhang Ruochen, while others were instructing Zhang Ruochen on how to deal with that move just now.
“How foolish, how can one focus all their attention on a sword move in a Sword Saint level encounter?”
“Attention should be focused on the opponent, using sword intent to manipulate the sword move. Otherwise, the sword stance hasn’t even landed yet the opponent has already changed their orientation.”
“If it were me, and I was also forced into that situation, I would definitely use a sword move that would be enough to force her back.”?”It’s easy for you guys to say, Zhang Ruochen is only at the realm of a First Order Half-Saint after all, how can he strain that fast? For him to be able to block this move is already quite something.”
……
Ling Fei Yu was still standing at the centre of the lightning field, his eyes staring downwards.
Only to see that Zhang Ruochen slowly rose up from the dirt, holding his sword in one hand and drying the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth with the other, he laughed, “Worthy of being a Sword Saint, it really lives up to its name.”
“You were able to block my first move, yet you are somewhat capable. The second move, can you still block it?”
Ling Fei Yu’s right index and middle fingers pinched together, and immediately after, a huge wave of sword intent surged out and flew in front of her, condensing into a white sword of light.
It seemed to be a very casual move, but it gave off a feeling of great depth and depth, and it was precisely the “Sword One” from the “Wordless Sword Spectrum”.
Sword One, from Ling Fei Yu’s hands, how powerful could it be?
Zhang Ruochen gradually came back to his senses and was clear about the intentions of the Ancestors.
They didn’t really want to teach Ling Fei Yu a lesson, but rather, they wanted to use Ling Fei Yu’s hand to test Zhang Ruochen’s attainments and potential in the Dao of the Sword.
At the same time, they could also make use of this battle to let Zhang Ruochen adapt to the power of the Sword Saint level and realise how to fight with the top powerhouses.
After all, once the Undying Blood Clan attacked into the Sword Graveyard, Zhang Ruochen, as the Sword Bearer, would definitely have to borrow the power of the Ancestor to guard the Sword Graveyard against the Undying Blood Clan’s powerhouses.
Only when he had adapted to the power of the Sword Saint level and fought against the Undying Blood Clan, Zhang Ruochen would be able to make the most out of it.
It was estimated that Ling Fei Yu was also clear about this, only Zhang Ruochen was the only one who was an afterthought.
Since he had already figured out the causes and consequences, Zhang Ruochen completely let go of his mood, closed his eyes, no longer having any distractions, and slowly lifted the Heavenly Sword up.
At the same time, a huge sword intent surged out from his body and merged into the sword body.
“Swish swish.”
In the middle of the black wilderness, all those discarded swords trembled and flew out from the ground, converging towards Zhang Ruochen and rotating around his body.
“That is …… Human Sword Unity, good boy, only at the realm of First Order Half Saint, he has actually reached Human Sword Unity, at least ten times stronger than the old me back then.”?”Xuan Gui has indeed taken in a sword dao wizard, this son’s sword dao talent is by no means inferior to Xue Hong Chen, in the future, he might be able to become a great emperor in the sword dao.”
……
All the grandmasters of the Monstrous Heavenly Sword lineage were all quite excited and felt very thrilled, after all, Zhang Ruochen was their disciple’s grandson, inheriting the mantle of their lineage.
Ling Feiyu’s eyes, too, were slightly frozen, flashing a look of surprise.
One must know that she had gained countless honours when she comprehended the Human Sword Unity at the Ninth Order Half-Saint, and some had even compared her to Empress Chi Yao.
From this, it could be seen how difficult the realm of “Human Sword Unity” was?
Zhang Ruochen, however, had comprehended the Human Sword Unity at the first rank of Half-Saint, which was truly somewhat heaven-defying.
Ling Fei Yu spat out an orchid and gently recited two words, “Sword One.”
The white sword of light flew out and struck Zhang Ruochen’s brow.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also executed Sword One and stabbed forward.
The thousands of ancient swords that were originally rotating around him were guided by the sword intent, and all of them rushed out forwards, transforming into a torrent of ancient swords converging and colliding with the white light sword.
“Boom boom.”
Explosive shattering sounds continued to resound, and all the ancient swords, all of them, were shattered and turned into pieces of iron.
Of course, the white light sword was also cancelled out and completely dissipated.
Only, before Zhang Ruochen could breathe a sigh of relief, Ling Fei Yu had already performed his third sword move. There were actually nine light swords, evolving nine different sword moves from nine different directions, attacking Zhang Ruochen at the same time.
From the mouth of an Ancestor, an exclamation of shock came out, saying, ”Nine Death Sword Technique. Girl, you are at least a Sword Saint, but to display such a profound sword technique, isn’t it a bit of bullying the small with the big?”
Ling Fei Yu, however, was calm and composed, saying, “He also possesses the power of a Sword Saint level now, there is no such thing as who is bullying who? Besides, it’s already the third sword, I have to defeat him.”?Zhang Ruochen had naturally heard of the might of the Nine Death Sword Technique, which was a king-level sword technique, in other words, it had already reached the level of a holy art.
Facing the attack of the Nine Death Sword Technique was like facing nine Sword Saints at the same time, moreover, the nine Sword Saints were also executing killing moves at the same time.
Even if Zhang Ruochen had three heads and six arms, it would be impossible for him to block it.
However, just as the nine light swords fell, Zhang Ruochen disappeared from the spot. The nine powerful killing moves struck the air at the same time and landed on the ground.
“Spatial Shift.”
Ling Fei Yu was slightly startled, however, he quickly regained his composure and stretched out a finger, striking out a sword wave that struck at the position in front of him on the right.
Zhang Ruochen had only just appeared when Ling Fei Yu’s sword wave, already struck out, reached him.
“What a fast response speed, using Spatial Shift to sneak attack the Sword Saint, there is only one way to die.”This thought, in Zhang Ruochen’s mind, flickered.
Zhang Ruochen did not retreat, or rather, it was simply impossible to retreat.
With such a close distance, Ling Fei Yu’s sword wave reached Zhang Ruochen’s chest in almost an instant.
Zhang Ruochen, however, was not willing to fail, thus, he allowed the sword wave to strike his body, and at the same time, he swung his sword out first.
“Shakura Without Trace.”
The speed of this sword was even faster than the speed of the sword wave struck by Ling Fei Yu.
