Chapter 577: Chapter 312: Perfection of the Heart Sword Realm, The Might of the Divine Artifact_2
Clearly, Xu Yan did not exert all his power to instantly kill the five, instead, he used them to present to the world what a sword array is!
The Thousand Martial Lord and others wore terrifyingly gloomy expressions.
The joint attack technique was so pitifully weak under the sword array.
"Let Wu Yuan prepare to act."
Spoke the Thousand Martial Lord in a deep voice.
This fight had already lost its uncertainity.
The five were sure to lose.
In fact, he was wavering at this moment. Even if Wu Yuan, who had used the Divine Artifact Longsword, really had the ability to deal a heavy blow, could he kill Xu Yan?
After all, Wu Yuan was not the strongest being.
Taking a deep breath, the Thousand Martial Lord issued instructions again: "Let the old predecessors seize the opportunity to kill Xu Yan."
The elder holding the sword and others were taken aback. Did the lord actually believe that Wu Yuan could not severely wound or kill Xu Yan?
"Lord, if Wu Yuan uses the sacred artifact, can Xu Yan withstand it?"
The elder holding the blade had an incredulous look on his face.
"Has Xu Yan exerted all his effort yet?"
The Thousand Martial Lord asked solemnly.
The elder holding the sword was taken aback. Yeah right, when had Xu Yan exerted all his energy?
He had always demonstrated his skills with ease.
"I understand now!"
The elder holding the blade nodded solemnly.
On the battlefield, Xu Yan, through the use of his divinely transformed body, exhibited the Sword Array, and at this moment, he had another insight.
He was currently applying the elite of the Thousand Martial Hall and verifying his own perception.
In a twinkling of an eye, the Sword Array quietly underwent a transformation.
One of the incarnations exhibited in the Sword Dao was the Sword Intent of Mountain and River.
Another incarnation exhibited, was the Sudden Wind Sword Intent.
And the third incarnation exhibited the interchange of Mountain and River Sword Intent and Sudden Wind Sword Intent.
The fourth incarnation was attempting to unify the Mountain and River Sword Intent and Sudden Wind Sword Intent.
Xu Yan, in his original form, narrowed his eyes slightly, the spiritual energy of the world around him was transforming into swords, invisible swords!
The remnant waves of the fight swept over and turned into swords.
He even hoped to transform the incoming force into his own sword!
But it was too difficult.
He couldn't do it.
"Heart Sword Realm, my heart has a sword, everything in the heaven and earth can transform into a sword; my heart has Sword Intent, can a single thought materialize the Sword Intent?
"Whether it's the Mountain and River Sword Intent or the Sudden Wind Sword Intent, both are borne from my comprehension.
"Since they are the Sword Intents in my heart, why can't they transform into other Sword Intents? The wind blows over the mountains and rivers, waves ripple, water flows on..."
At a certain moment, the fourth incarnation stabbed a sword forward. Its Sword Intent was unceasing, killing intent was invisible, there was no sharpness to be perceived, instead, it carried the gentle touch of water.
However, in an instant, the youth holding the blade felt as though he had plunged into the water, into the raging sea, invisible and horrifying, seemingly gentle but containing a horrifying killing power.
"Ah!"
He roared, pouring all his strength into a strike, cutting through layers of gentle killing intent.
Xu Yan broke into a smile. Although he was far from being able to control Sword Intent at will, his Sword Dao realm had improved, which marked the completion of the Heart Sword Realm! There was only one step remaining to reach the Perfect Heart Sword Realm.
"The Wisdom Sword Realm is too profound, I still have no clues."
Xu Yan sighed, he had not completely comprehended the Heart Sword Realm, let alone realize its profound meaning, the Wisdom Sword Realm was even more beyond reach.
"Kill!"
The five from the Thousand Martial Hall knew that if the fight continued, they would undoubtedly lose.
They could only stake everything on one shot.
In an instant, a killing intent emerged.
Blood red killing intent surged out from the five, mutually merging into an even more terrifying killing intent.
This killing intent, as if containing the power of five martial arts, five killing intents, was a fivefold terrifying killing intent!
Xu Yan's eyebrows furrowed. This killing intent was much stronger than that of the previous five, and the unity of the five killing intents was even more powerful.
He didn't dare to take it lightly.
Whoosh!
The divine transformation returned to his original form, restoring his strength to its peak state.
He lifted his hand to hold the longsword. The Sword Intents of Mountain and River and Sudden Wind merged together. Stacks upon stacks of mountains and rivers, as if thousands of people were wielding swords, swung and slashed down.
Boom!
The blood-red killing intent collided with the sword light. The sword light seeped in all directions, while the blood-red killing intent kept surging as well, holding each other off.
The powerful aftermath has already obliterated the five prodigies of the Thousand Martial Hall, turning them into floating ashes.
All the martial artists widened their eyes, staring at the scene on the battlefield, where swords light shone like surging waves, continually spreading and seeming as though it could not resist the blood-red intent to kill.
However, the blood-red murderous intent also gradually began to dim.
Hum!
The sword light suddenly became delicate, like a gentle stream, frail and weak. Yet, this seemingly weak stream was stopping the bloody intent to kill from advancing.
And it was constantly melting, finally dissipating completely.
Xu Yan had won again. What would the Thousand Martial Hall do next?
Would the prodigy still not dare to come forward?
All the martial artists turned their eyes toward the entrance of the Thousand Martial Hall, including the powerful individuals from the three countries - the seven sects and eight noble houses.
Could the esteemed Transcendent Spirit Sect really not bring out a prodigy to compete with Xu Yan?
This was not only the concern of the Thousand Martial Hall alone, but it also had implications for the honor of the Ling Domain and the Spirit Sect. If they were suppressed by a loose cultivator, how could the Spirit Sect maintain its lofty position and look down upon all the other cultivators?
Xu Yan stood with his sword, the light from it extending for a hundred feet, defiantly pointing toward the entrance of the Thousand Martial Hall.
"Does the Thousand Martial Hall have a prodigy who dares to fight?"
The light from the hundred feet long sword pointed directly at the entrance of the Thousand Martial Hall, straightforwardly challenging them. Could it be that the prodigy of the Thousand Martial Hall still didn't dare to come out?
If that was really the case, as Xu Yan said, they were all spineless.
"Xu Yan, you are just a loose cultivator who dares to be arrogant. If it weren't for the fact that my brothers are in closed-door cultivation and unable to fight, you would have been suppressed long ago!"
A voice came. On the entrance of the Thousand Martial Hall, a figure started to approach.
A horrifying blade light shot up from his body.
All the martial artists looked, and were suddenly struck with terror.
The prodigy of the Thousand Martial Hall had made his move, and he was even using a Divine Artifact?
And from his words, they learned that the prodigy of the Thousand Martial Hall hadn't appeared because he was in closed-door cultivation and temporarily unable to fight?
"Is this... could this be Wu Yuan from the Thousand Martial Hall?"
Someone whispered.
"Shameless!"
Tian Ji scornfully remarked.
The Thousand Martial Hall actually had Wu Yuan use the Divine Artifact right away. Although this wasn't bullying the weak, it seemed somewhat shameless.
However, there were no limitations on what weapons the prodigies could use in the prodigy contention, so the actions of the Thousand Martial Hall did not violate any rules.
"Is Wu Yuan looking for death?"
Cui Huayu was shocked.
As a true disciple of the Transcendent Spirit Sect, he obviously understood what kind of price Wu Yuan had to pay to use a Divine Artifact and evoke its might.
Yarong frowned, looking at Xu Yan. The boy still showed no signs of panic, but his expression clearly became a lot heavier.
Xu Yan's expression became serious. He recognized who was appearing right now. It was Wu Yuan, the prodigy of the Thousand Martial Hall mentioned in the booklet that the Mu family had given him.
Wu Yuan had shown up and he was using the Divine Artifact of the Transcendent Spirit Sect.
The blade light soared into the sky, the might of the Divine Artifact was not to be underestimated!
"Xu Yan, take my slash. If you survive, I will temporarily consider it your victory. After ten years, when my brothers come out of their closed-door cultivation, we will have another match!"
Wu Yuan said coldly.
He needed to find a reason for a possible defeat, to save face for the Thousand Martial Hall.
He wanted to tell everyone present that it was not that the Thousand Martial Hall didn't have any prodigies. It was not that they didn't have anyone who could suppress Xu Yan, they were just in closed-door cultivation and couldn't come out to fight.
The final victory of this prodigy competition could only be determined at the end!
"Kill!"
A horrifying intent to kill emerged from Wu Yuan's body, but it wasn't the color of blood. It seemed that it wasn't a life-consuming intent to kill. The cold intent to kill poured into a saber.
The cold blade light, at this moment, shone in front of the Thousand Martial Hall.
Even from a distance, all the martial artists felt a chill run down their spine, as if a cold blade was hanging over their neck.
"Get back!"
The martial artists closer to the action changed their expressions and immediately retreated some distance.
"The Cold Extinction Blade!"
Cui Huayu's expression became serious.
One of the Divine Artifacts of the Thousand Martial Hall, possessing formidable destructive power, was generally in the hands of the elder who wielded the blade.
And Wu Yuan, using this Divine Artifact, must have acquired the elder's support. With this slash, even the strongest individuals who had condensed a Heavenly Earth Lingji would find it difficult to block.
"Does Xu Yan have a Divine Artifact?"
Cui Huayu looked at Xu Yan, now somewhat unconfident. Even if Xu Yan had a Divine Artifact, with his current realm, he wouldn't be able to unleash the power of a Divine Artifact. How could he block Wu Yuan's slash?
"I hope it only seriously injures him. As long as he doesn't die, he will have a chance to recover."
Cui Huayu murmured to himself.
Although he was a true disciple of the Transcendent Spirit Sect, and not on the same side as Xu Yan, he felt a sense of admiration for Xu Yan deep inside. He didn't want such a prodigy to die under this slash.
