Chapter 504: Chapter 504, Low Tier Secrets Martial Arts
Clang!
Chu Ming’s expression remained calm as he reversed his grip on the Star Trace Sword, slashing out a crimson Slaughter Sword Intent that soared into the sky, clashing with the Star Trace Sword.
Crash!
As the sword and blade collided, terrifying sparks erupted between them, flying through the air like a rain of fire.
In Chu Ming’s mind, auroras flashed. He could see numerous flaws in Yin Feng Blade Elder’s Sword Technique, but the elder was no pushover. Even though Chu Ming could spot the flaws, it was not easy to strike a decisive blow.
Boom!
The sword and blade collided again, resembling an explosion of a fireball in midair. Gray streams of air surged wildly as a white wave radiated outward from their center.
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
Neither Chu Ming nor Yin Feng Blade Elder used Technique Martial Arts, only clashing with pure Sword Techniques and Swordsmanship. Pure blade light and sword light fractured in the air, leaving countless gorges on the ground.
As the fight continued, Yin Feng Blade Elder grew increasingly shocked. According to his calculations, even if Chu Ming had the Enlightenment Fruit and his Enlightenment increased tenfold in eight days, his combat power should still be limited. He should have found dealing with him a breeze.
But upon exchanging blows, he realized he was utterly mistaken. Although Chu Ming’s strength still wasn’t on par with his, capturing Chu Ming wasn’t as straightforward as he thought; it would take at least over a thousand moves.
Moreover, having spent eight continuous days in Black Wind Valley, his soul had been constantly eroded by the Black Ice Wind, somewhat affecting his combat strength.
In contrast, although Chu Ming had also endured the erosion of the Black Ice Wind, his aura remained steady as if nothing was the matter.
Boom!
Chu Ming’s white robe billowed, black hair flying, eyes sharp, as he gripped the Star Trace Sword’s hilt tightly with both hands. Muscles taut like a thunderbolt, he flashed across the sky, lunging at Yin Feng Blade Elder, the whole sky filled with Slaughter Sword Intent.
Yin Feng Blade Elder’s expression turned grave. He felt his soul sting under this sword, a sense of inescapability.
Swoosh!
"Wave-Breaking Thousand Instant Kill!"
Yin Feng Blade Elder’s hat had long been torn to shreds by the blade and sword light. His white hair fluttered as his eyes shot out terrifying light. As he swiftly spun around, he slashed out dozens of terrifying blade lights with a backhanded grip.
Crash!
Gray air currents surged wildly as the spiritual power in the entire space gradually grew chaotic. Chu Ming’s sword light and Yin Feng Blade Elder’s blade light collided and entangled, forming a massive cocoon of blade and sword, eroding each other.
At some moment, a slight crack appeared in the cocoon, and an astonishing sharpness tore through the sky, changing its color and shuffling the clouds.
"Withdraw!"
A flash of brilliance zipped through Chu Ming’s mind. His figure instantly blurred into a mirage, reappearing a thousand meters away, his gaze calm, the Star Trace Sword in his hand glinting coldly.
Boom!
Crash!
The cocoon of blade and sword shattered instantly, releasing an explosion of terrifying light. At the center of the explosion between Chu Ming and Yin Feng Blade Elder, a hundred-meter diameter, thirty-to-forty-meter deep pit formed.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Yin Feng Blade Elder’s face turned slightly red, with some heavy breathing. His eyes were filled with endless chill as he glared at Chu Ming.
Swoosh!
In the midst of the white horror wave, a stream of white light, sharp to the extreme, flashed before Yin Feng Blade Elder’s face, with Sword Essence pulsating.
Clang!!
Yin Feng Blade Elder’s right hand brought down a bright arc of blade light, creating a dense collision of blade light in front of him, deflecting Chu Ming’s strike, while he swiftly retreated.
Clang, clang, clang...
The shadows of the blade and sword met once more. Yin Feng Blade Elder’s sword was sturdy yet sharp, like a beast lurking in the darkness.
Crash!
Chu Ming and Yin Feng Blade Elder separated after another collision. Yin Feng Blade Elder’s cold eyes gleamed sharply, his white hair fluttering, as he unleashed all his spiritual power in an instant. Scarlet blade shadows cleaved out like judgment day descending.
"Black Wave·Breaking Sky!"
With one slash, half the sky turned scarlet. Yin Feng Blade Elder’s strike perfectly embodied Tier Nine’s Slaughter Blade Intent. Chu Ming estimated this slash already carried the destructive power of the Realm of Transcendence.
The blade light reached Chu Ming in an instant. Under the flash of the blade, Chu Ming’s body split into four, wielding blades to strike with all his might, slashing through the sky with domineering crimson light.
"Red Lotus Rain!"
The current Red Lotus Rain was unlike the old Sword Technique. Chu Ming had infused it with a trace of Slaughter Sword Intent and Immortal Sword Intent. Moreover, his current enlightenment had multiplied tenfold, and amid the fight with Yin Feng Blade Elder, his Sword Techniques were ceaselessly progressing.
Boom!
The collision of blade and sword light resembled the explosion of two fireballs in the sky. Horrifying air waves radiated outward from their center, leaving the ground pitted and cratered.
Before these air waves fell, a hint of killing intent flashed in Yin Feng Blade Elder’s eyes. Rich Slaughter Sword Intent gathered in the air, forming floating flowers. Black Wave·Breaking Sky was not his final card; his most formidable Technique had already touched the edge of Low Tier Secrets Martial Arts.
"Black Wave·Tearing!"
The blade light in Yin Feng Blade Elder’s hand soared to the sky, transforming into an astonishing pillar of light in the sky. Within the light pillar, shadows flickered as black lines appeared in space, unable to bear the burden.
Chu Ming’s expression grew stern. If the previous strike was about the Realm of Transcendence, this strike definitely reached it. The blade intent within no longer qualified as mere blade intent but should be called Secrets of the Blade.
Not daring to hesitate, Chu Ming’s body swiftly flew back. Gradually, he entered the Heart Sword Realm, the Star Trace Sword in his hand trembled slightly. He lifted it towards the sky, and an ethereal green sword light descended, causing the whole space to fall silent.
"Void Wounding Sword!"
Chu Ming’s strike looked ordinary, yet it solidified the space, making everything seem to freeze. Space trembled under it, and the invisible sword light tore towards Yin Feng Blade Elder.
Boom!
The Void Wounding Sword might have originally been inferior to Yin Feng Blade Elder’s attack, but it was comprehended based on Void Sword Intent. Now, Chu Ming’s Void Sword Intent had reached Tier Seven, thus its destructive power increased.
Buzz!
The sky trembled, a terrifying rift tore open, with the blade and sword light at its core. Chu Ming’s sword light and Yin Feng Blade Elder’s blade light were too formidable, both reaching the destructive power of the Realm of Transcendence.
Crash!
Crash!
The space couldn’t withstand the burden. The space that only the Realm of Transcendence could shatter was now broken by Chu Ming and Yin Feng Blade Elder’s combined attacks, plunging the world into darkness.
