CHAPTER 463: CHAPTER 299: THE LEGEND OF THE ZHU MING SWORD_2

At this moment, the flames of their swords differed in color, but both were refined to the extreme by the Nine Luminaries Red Evil Sword Scripture!

Although the Zhu Ming Sword Lord hadn’t shown his face and was trapped underground by Death Qi for many years, he was sustained by an Earth Vein, remaining somewhat awake, with his power intact and his sword skills not having regressed an inch!

Though Tie Dan’s sword skills were sharper, and his sword light more piercing, he too was trapped by Death Qi and harbored the thought of testing the secret sword of the Sword Sect’s Inner Sect, holding back with thirty percent of his strength.

Thus, for a moment, both sides exchanged blows in a dazzling display of sword light and rolling flames! A hundred moves exchanged! It was hard to determine superiority!

Of course, although that was said, in reality, Tie Dan only used the Nine Luminaries Green Evil Spirit Light Sword Ball for the entire fight. He focused on defense, observing what secret sword from the Nine Yin Mountain could break this sphere.

Yet, there was none.

Zhu Ming Sword Lord had no intention of breaking his sphere.

The opponent unleashed a hundred moves, using the Zhu Ming Sword Flame as the base, turning into a Fire Dragon at one point, a Fire Phoenix at another, then a rain of fire covering the sky, followed by a boundless Fire Sea, attacking madly and ferociously, endlessly transforming with divine skills beyond measure.

Yet it was of no use.

The plasma sword Qi ball enveloping Tie Dan rolled and surged in the flaming sword formation, getting knocked around by the Fire Dragon and Fire Bird, but no matter the transformation or divine skill, none could penetrate his sword defense.

However, Tie Dan understood.

Zhu Ming Sword Lord had no intention of taking his life, the sword power wasn’t aimed directly at him; every killing move skimmed past him, just letting him experience the Sword Intent within.

Indeed, she was actually transmitting the sword.

After all, the Yao Guang Sword Ball wasn’t that hard to break; the opponent only needed to concentrate their sword power and stab once. Why bother with changing a hundred moves?

But probably knowing her sword power had greatly diminished due to long sealing, Zhu Ming Sword Lord also realized remaining deeply buried wasn’t viable.

So she seized the moment, displaying all sorts of swordsmanship and sword techniques of her Sword Master to Tie Dan, hoping he could learn as much as possible.

Of course, Tie Dan understood.

Although not knowing her intentions, when facing a hundred moves, could he not comprehend the sword path?

Moreover, the swordsmanship Zhu Ming Sword Lord used, in fact, had a very classical and fantasy flair, very easy to learn. Each move and stance, compared with some absurd sword formation relying on flute and rhythm, was much simpler.

It was about adapting to circumstances, dispersing sword energy into Heaven and Earth, refining the entire space into a classical sword formation, using Heaven and Earth as a sword, unleashing simultaneous killing intents.

It was the kind often seen in tale-telling novels, casually using mountains as blades, Mt. Tai as point, Earth Vein as ridge, Canghai as hilt, rivers as guard, forging such a sword that’s unrivaled in straightness, supreme when lifted, unstoppable when pressed, peerless when maneuvered, cutting above the clouds and below the earth.

In the end, boom!

Transforming into a forty-zhang giant sword, a forty-zhang Fire Dragon, or forty Fire Phoenixes, smashing and slicing your head in a massive decisive move, the underlying principles were the same.

Hence, Tie Dan also understood, Zhu Ming Sword Lord first recited a grand theory, discussing Jade Candle Spring, Four Seasons Eternal Wind, actually teaching Tie Dan about the changes of the four seasons, the principles of nature, to transmit the sword, she first transmitted the principles of Sword Control.

Surround with the four Barbarians, enclose with the four seasons, encircle with Canghai, gird with Changshan, forge with the Five Elements, discuss with Crime and Virtue, open with Yin Yang, holding with Spring and Summer, moving with Autumn and Winter.

Heaven and Earth are difficult to move with human power, mountains are hard to sway by force, Heaven and Earth Sword is thus unbreakable, so the sword formation doctrine must be maneuvered with the cyclical seasons and the flow of time.

This is achieved by utilizing the sword formation to merge Heaven and Earth into a sword, simulating the cycle of four seasons, manipulating the changes of Heaven and Earth, to achieve the secret technique of Sword Control for slashing.

Although wielding such a Heaven-Slashing Sword against humans feels excessive, but for mountain offenses, city defenses, or maximizing output, forming a great array to chop those ancient immortal bones that are hard to budge, perhaps it indeed offers a chance of victory.

However, the sword power of two Divinity Transformation beings in slashing immortals is ultimately insufficient, leading to failure.

Nevertheless, I must say, this indeed presented a sword tradition vastly different from the Yao Guang lineage, more a transmission of formation rather than swordsmanship.

The hundreds of variations of Red Evil Sword Flame divine skills unleashed by Zhu Ming Sword Lord, in fact, had little to do with swords, replaced by other Red Evil Dao techniques, completely resembling the moves of a Red Evil Fire Formation.

Thinking this way, Yao Guang’s inheritance, instead of being a sword formation, is rather the manipulation and transformation of sword light and seals, resembling the use of talismans.

Indeed, once Mystic Sect Qi Refining reaches its pinnacle, the nine major sects despite differences lead to similar ends, the combat power nearly equal, ultimately relying on proficiency in the Five Arts to determine victory...

But then again.

How did Chen Xuantian die under such sword skills?

The Blood God’s Son was known for being hard to kill! How was he killed?

Could such outdated swords truly kill him?

Now, as Zhu Ming Sword Lord finished transmitting a hundred sets of sword teachings, the entire illusion realm ceased to exist, all the peach forests, landscapes, lone graves, and women vanished like illusions.

Finally, the light and flames dissipated, leaving only condensed sword power.

Now before Tie Dan, only that four-foot-long thin sword remained.

Zhu Ming’s Treasure Sword.

Radiant and resplendent

Concealing its edge and blade

Sword light illuminates

For Tie Dan, who had mastered the Zhu Ming Sword Control Technique, it was a precious artifact within reach, easy to obtain.

Yet with this Divine Weapon near at hand, Tie Dan merely coldly gazed at the sword, not reaching for it.
