From the initial formation of the Sword Wheel, it appeared somewhat illusory, as if it wasn’t perfectly formed. As time passed, it gradually solidified, becoming stronger and fiercer.
Moreover, between the cycles of the Sword Wheel, the changes between offense and defense were unpredictable, and the attacks became increasingly tricky. At a certain moment, he sensed a touch of deadly intent from a flash of swords.
Yet his fierce attack was blocked by another flash of swords; an endless, relentless show of defense. Just when he thought it was merely a defensive sword, it transformed into a sword of death in an instant.
He narrowly avoided losing his arm to a slash!
As the battle ensued, Xu Yan’s understanding deepened. The Life and Death Sword Wheel kept improving until it was spinning like the Taiji symbol in front of him.
The sword light slowly morphed into black and white, with continuous transformations, as if a new Sword Intent was being born.
However, he was just a bit short of fully comprehending the Life and Death Sword Intent.
“Today is a day of great harvest, I acquired the storage pouch, began to grasp the Life and Death Sword Wheel, remember Blood Devil King, your killer is Sword God Xu Yan!”
The Life and Death Sword Wheel in Xu Yan’s hand suddenly split into two terrifying sword lights, trapping the Blood Devil King within in a split second.
The sword lights instantaneously came together, with life and death alternating, slashing violently at the Blood Devil King!
“You wish to kill me, boy, you are too arrogant!”
The Blood Devil King’s eyes emitted a cold glow; with a loud thud, a surge of bloody light soared to the sky, dyeing half of the sky red with his violent blood flame.
The red arc seemed to tear the sky apart.
The power of a Half-step Heavenly Being was fully unleashed at this moment.
The secret technique he’d been reserving for a critical moment was also deployed.
A chill ran through the Blood Devil King’s heart as he felt a strong crisis of life and death. The two wheels of sword light were too dangerous; they could kill him at any time.
Even when he was surrounded and attacked by many strong opponents in the past, he had never felt such an intense sensation of life and death crisis.
He was shocked, wondering how this young man could be so powerful.
Without any hesitation, he decisively used his life-saving secret martial arts technique!
Boom!
The Life and Death Sword Wheel thundered ahead, altering between life and death, slashing through defenses, and tearing apart attacks. Regardless of how crazily the Blood Devil King fought back, he couldn’t escape from the Sword Wheel of Life and Death.
Squirt!
At one moment, the Life and Death Sword Wheel came together, and the terrifying Sword Intent surged, transforming into a mountain range in an instant. Life and death returned to one, annihilating everything!
The consciousness of the Blood Devil King was stunned, watching his body turn to ash under the sword light.
What kind of Swordsmanship is this?
Even though he was only a Half-step Heavenly Being, even if his flesh and blood was destroyed, his consciousness remained.
Xu Yan’s brow furrowed as he sensed the invisible mental consciousness. Was it the Divine Body condensed by a Martial Arts Heavenly Being?
“Soul Eradication! Indeed, when one’s strength reaches a certain level, simply killing the physical body may not kill the enemy completely!”
Xu Yan sighed inwardly, no wonder his master taught him early on that he should eradicate his enemies completely, leaving no trace of their soul, otherwise, they could escape!
The Sword Wheel spun, and the Sword of Life and Death struck at the invisible Divine Body. The Sword Light turned into the Sword of Death, completely eradicating the Divine Body.
The Blood Devil King had fallen!
After killing the Blood Devil King, Xu Yan couldn’t help but ponder. Although the Blood Devil King was only a Half-step Heavenly Being, by this measure, a real Martial Arts Heavenly Being wouldn’t be much stronger.
“Is there a real Martial Arts Heavenly Being in the Inner Domain?”
Curiosity sparkled in Xu Yan’s eyes.
To date, no existence of Martial Arts Heavenly Beings in the Inner Domain had been heard of. Even the number of Half-step Heavenly Beings known to the Martial Arts world of the Inner Domain was extremely limited.
Only those top major powers and pinnacle Great Grandmasters knew about them.
So, it seemed like there weren’t any real Martial Arts Heavenly Beings in the Inner Domain.
” If I could spar with a Martial Arts Heavenly Being, my Life and Death Sword Wheel could likely be perfected.”
Xu Yan thought with a touch of regret.
But then, he got excited again.
He finally got the storage pouch he’d been longing for, after such a long time!
He took off the storage pouch hanging from his waist, poured in his True Qi to open the pouch, and peeked in. Inside the storage pouch were stacks of Spirit Tickets and a pile of Spirit Crystals.
Beyond that, there were various bottles and vials, along with spiritual medicines.
“Demon Lord Huo Tu really was wealthy!”
Xu Yan quickly counted, immediately filled with excitement, he had finally become wealthy again.
The storage bag looked like a toad, hanging at his waist as though it’s a small toad, and the closed toad’s mouth was the opening of the storage bag.
When he poured in his True Qi, it could expand the mouth and body of the bag, making it much more convenient to store and retrieve items.
Having successfully acquired Demon Lord Huo Tu’s treasures, and effortlessly killing the Blood Fiend King, and improving his Life and Death Sword Wheel, Xu Yan did not linger. He left the desolate mountain and set off for Canglan Island.
In a city, he found a communication point for Sword Royalty Cliff and sent a message to Xie Lingfeng to meet up on Canglan Island.
“To avoid the major conflicts and martial disputes of the Inner Domain, and transition to practicing Dahua martial arts, one must research it precisely. Only in this way can Dahua replace the Inner Domain,” Xu Yan thought to himself.
As for how to transition from Inner Realm Martial Arts to Dahua Martial Arts, he didn’t have a good solution. Condensing True Qi was feasible, but simply condensing True Qi did not mean successful transition.
“The martial scholars of the Seven-star Study Palace are familiar with Inner Realm Martial Arts and have conducted profound research. If I teach them Dahua Martial Arts, perhaps they can develop a transition method?
“Or perhaps I can further understand the essence of Inner Realm Martial Arts from them, and ponder a compromise method.”
Xu Yan thought silently.
Since Xu Yan slew the peak Great Grandmaster on Canglan Island, no one dared to set foot there. After the battle at Chang Qing Pavilion and the ownership of Canglan Island returned to the Dahua territory, although people passed by the ocean, they only looked at the island from afar and longed for it. But haunted by Xu Yan’s might, they did not dare to approach.
Not until Peng Yuan from the Seven-star Study Palace arrived with seven martial scholars, did people reside on Canglan Island.
Since Peng Yuan and the others came to the Seven-star Study Palace, they have been looking at a book every day, repeatedly pondering or writing something on their own.
They never cease their research on martial arts.
“Scholar Xu is here, please take a seat!”
Upon seeing Xu Yan, Peng Yuan and the others hastily ran over, pulling over a chair for Xu Yan to sit on.
In the Seven-star Study Palace, Xu Yan had joined as a senior martial scholar, which is why they addressed him in such a manner.
They all knew about the Battle of Chang Qing Pavilion.
“Scholar Peng, you’re too kind.”
Xu Yan greeted them with a smile and a fist.
Peng Yuan and the others were chosen from a group of martial scholars by Xu Yan. Their minds were consumed by studying martial arts, their dark eye circles made it obvious.
“In the study of martial arts, not a moment can be wasted. Scholar Xu, look, is this Dahua Martial Arts?”
Even though Peng Yuan’s eyes were surrounded by black circles, they were exceptionally bright, and they were all staring at Xu Yan expectantly.
“Alright, then let’s not waste anytime.”
Xu Yan took out a small booklet.
This contained the foundational and initial martial arts cultivation techniques, including refining skin, bones, and organs, up to the Qi and blood realms.
“This is the foundational and entry level martial arts technique. The scholars can take a look. Also, Dahua Martial Arts is ultimately different from Inner Realm Martial Arts. Now, many Inner Domain martial artists want to transition to Dahua Martial Arts but they lack the methods.
“You scholars have spent your lives studying Inner Realm Martial Arts, and after understanding Dahua Martial Arts, you might be able to research how to transition from Inner Realm Martial Arts to Dahua Martial Arts.”
Peng Yuan and the others immediately became solemn. The emergence of Dahua Martial Arts was a heavy blow to the martial arts circle of the Inner Realm!
Various signs indicate that Dahua Martial Arts is stronger than Inner Realm Martial Arts, and which martial artist does not pursue power?
Once Dahua Martial Arts is spread, all the big forces will be unsettled. After all, their strength, besides their own resources, comes from the inheritance of martial practices, which are much stronger than the martial practices of the outer world.
This is the source of power for the top martial forces.
But Dahua Martial Arts will shake their foundations. Due to the shocking battle at Chang Qing Pavilion, these forces are deeply wary and have not taken action yet.
Once they recover, and feel a strong threat involving the survival of their martial heritage, they will undoubtedly join forces to seek survival!
The only way to reduce or avoid this martial arts contention is to introduce a transitioning method. The elites of the major forces are strong, and if they transition successfully, they will still have an advantage.
Thus, they will not risk everything.
While the inheritance is important, a stronger martial practice is obviously more crucial.
” Rest assured, Scholar Xu, we will do our best. Not only for others, but also for ourselves, we will definitely find a way to research the method of transitioning,”
Peng Yuan said solemnly.
