Chapter 1956 Crazy Art (1)
âSuspected, Passive Points +2268.â
âAcknowledged, Passive Points +1314.â
The Information Bar was overwhelmed at this moment, and the frequency of popup notifications reached a new height.
The spectatorsâ minds were also overloaded. Whether they were insignificant characters, ghost beasts, Rao Yaoyao, or Mei Siren, all of them felt as if they were witnessing a surreal battle in mid-air.
After the âNine Moons Embrace the Sky,â they exchanged another round of the â3000 Sword Styles.â
Soon, it became apparent that the âSame Sectâ tactic would only lead to a stalemate. âBazhunâanâ once again employed the lost art of the âPhantom Swords Technique,â combining it with:
âFlowers in the mirror, moon in the water, ripples reflect all, hundred ghost night walk.â
Almost simultaneously, âXiao Kongtongâ replicated the exact move:
âFlowers in the mirror, moon in the water, ripples reflect all, hundred ghost night walk!â
The eerie wailing of ghosts traveled back and forth in the world where everyone was trapped in the illusion of the mirror and water, tearing each other apart.
A radius of tens of thousands of miles transformed into a realm teeming with demons and malevolent spirits.
Their swords clashed, unable to break through each otherâs defense, leaving the spectators horrified.
When someone managed to break free, they realized that the previous âNine Moons Embrace the Skyâ had taken away a group of people, and now the âFlowers in the Mirrorâ had snatched another batch.
Those immersed in the Fantasy Sword Technique either slipped into a coma or met their demise, never to return to consciousness.
But the battle in the void continued!
âAcross the sky, a sword divides yin and yang; a river spanning a thousand miles, erases centuries into emptinessâŠ.â
The Fantasy Sword Technique had no effect on the opponent. With a roar, âBazhunâanâ thrust his sword toward the heavens, instantly conjuring a suspended blade of cyan using the Mo Sword Technique.
The sword seemed to cut through space, nearly delivering a fatal blow to âXiao Kongtong.â
However, before âBazhunâanâ was about to finalize his attack, the second true body had fully digested the move, enabling âXiao Kongtongâ to swiftly bridge the gap.
ââŠCutting through the tangible yet nameless Dao; subverting illusion and reality, human and spirit!â
The same maneuver, the same sword technique.
The two suspended cyan swords, formed using the Mo Sword Technique, twisted the concepts of ârealityâ and âillusionâ under the Swordless Sword Form.
In the thunderous clash, the Path Principles were severed and exposed, while everything else in reality seemed almost transparent.
At the same time, the spectators felt their bodies and souls turned upside down, and the notions of reality and illusion were redefined.
Though the two swords could not break each other, the sword cognition released in their collision killed countless weaker cultivators who got too close.
Their bodies twisted, and their spirits were severed!
The battle reached the pinnacle of the first realm of the Ancient Sword Technique!
Rao Yaoyao was astounded. Should they both turn out to be imposters, the cost of disguise was incredibly high.
Three of the Nine Major Sword Techniques and Eighteen Sword Forms had been revealed: Absolute Imperial Control, Spirits Controlling, and Swordless Sword Form.
Who in the entire world of ancient swordsmen could possess such mastery and combine them into a joint technique?
The swords they wielded left others bewildered and amazed.
Rao Yaoyao lived in the same era as Bazhunâan, so she could recognize that these swords were undoubtedly the same as the famous ones that Bazhunâan used to kill the sword gods of the Holy Sword Land in the Eastern Region.
âWhatâs going on hereâŠâ
Besides the fact that both of them were the real deal, Rao Yaoyao could not come up with any reasonable explanation.
She could not help but press her hand against her forehead, trying to recall if she had possessed this level of combat power in the past.
Undoubtedly, both of them exhibited the prowess of Sword Deity, surpassing the fundamental level.
The previous suspicions seemed to be overturned.
Still, the shock was only the beginning!
âWell, kid, youâve made great progress?â âBazhunâanâ was surprised to see that the opponent could replicate his moves one after another.
He was genuinely surprised!
Was Xu Xiaoshouâs talent not extremely terrifying?
Previously, when Master Siren taught him the Heart Sword Technique, it was claimed that he could master it at the drop of a hat, but Xiao Kongtong had been somewhat skeptical.
But now, he was convinced, wholeheartedly convinced!
Across from him, âXiao Kongtongâ was giving no quarter.
âWho are you, and how can you mimic so many of my teacherâs sword moves? How many âgood deedsâ have you done using my teacherâs identity?â He could even help redeem Old Eighth.
âHeh, take a guess?â Fake Old Eighthâs retreat served as an advance; anyone intelligent could see it.
âI guess youâve hit rock bottom, and I am the one inheriting my teacherâs ultimate techniques!â
âBazhunâanâsâ eyes narrowed as he heard those arrogant words. âA gnatâs dream,â he mocked with a cold smile.
After a moment of pause, his entire being crackled with the Way of the Sword. Illusions converged and the Mo Sword materialized, surging like a river.
âEndless gushing of the azure river, blue smoke eludes the purple shuttleâŠâ
Rao Yaoyaoâs eyelids twitched as he pointed his sword finger.
With the Infinite Number of Nine Swords Technique as its core, this single strike amplified the power of the Green River Sword Boardline from Mo Sword Technique to the extreme.
The two great first realms merged, instantly dyeing the swordâs green into a pale purple.
If the earlier maneuvers were mere warm-ups of the Ancient Sword Technique, there was no denying that they had now unleashed their full potential.
Release by a force that was multiplied beyond measure, the Green River Sword Boardline could take on even Rao Yaoyaoâs sword.
So, was âBazhunâanâ truly hiding his true abilities when he failed to block her sword earlier?
On the other side, âXiao Kongtongâ cast a startled glance. âYou can do this too?â
Finishing his words, he flawlessly duplicated this strike, even copying âWith each poem, a sword; with each sword, a songâ:
âEndless gushing of the azure river, blue smoke eludes the purple shuttle; illusions form a prison within, trapped in suffering with no escape!â
The purple infinite sword realm swept in from the other side, and at the same moment, the tormenting sword prison surged forth from within âXiao Kongtong.â
