Is this the legendary Mountain Town Unique Skill from Dragon Tiger Mountain, known as the Demon-slaying Sword?

To perform this sword move “Three and Five Male and Female Sin Slashing Swords”, is required to generate the maximum power.

Although the old Taoist master is only utilizing two Thousand-Refined Divine Weapons, the provoked impact is earth-shattering, causing countless people to tremble in their souls.

Initially, it is assumed that after Pei Xuanjing released his sword strike that seemingly embodied Heavenly Punishment, it was the most powerful sword in the world.

But astonishingly, the sword of the old Taoist master is comparable to Pei Xuanjing’s Shenxiao Heavenly Will Sword.

The overwhelming sword aura enveloping the evil-slaying and demon-purifying golden light, were more than enough to make those disguised and concealed demonic martial arts experts shudder, so much so that they’re having difficulty breathing.

Boom!

Like a ferocious wave sweeping across all four sides, the multitude of martial artists watching from the perimeter of the Practice martial arts field, felt a dreadful earth-shattering sensation. Immediately after, the waves were compared to a broken Heavenly River dam which led to an incessantly leaching Heavenly River water that threatened to engulf them.

The unrivaled sharpness of the sword aura, the violently swaying True Qi, the boiling hot Blood Qi, all these intertwined elements were horrifying and caused many people’s faces to change color.

Retreat!

It was the first thought that crossed many people’s mind!

Innumerable martial artists were in perfect harmony, while they maneuvered their True Qi and Blood Qi to resist the shockwave, they aggressively retreated.

As the dust settled, the figures of the two were revealed.

Pei Xuanjing looked somewhat regretfully at the Shenxiao Sword in his hand which was broken into two: “It is a pity.”

Ever since Xuanfu obtained this Divine Weapon, it has relied on the sharpness of the Divine Weapon to overcome many opponents and risking dangers. Yet, it was unexpected that it would be ruined on Dragon Tiger Mountain today.

The Shenxiao Sword couldn’t bear the duel between the two and thus snapped. The two Divine Weapons in the hands of the old Taoist master were inferior to the Shenxiao Sword, hence naturally they were also broken.

However, even though the destruction of the Divine Weapons was regrettable for the old Taoist master, the spoils from this fight far exceeded his expectation.

The duel between the two had already exceeded the limit of what the current Heaven and Earth could bear. If it were not for this Practice martial arts field being constructed of Mysterious Iron, Dragon Tiger Mountain would probably be reduced by one layer.

Because of this, the two had an epiphany in the final moment, and understood a multitude of things.

In that fleeting moment, their minds seemed to meld with Heaven and Earth, they sensed an unfathomable force in the atmosphere that could not be articulated.

Unity of Heaven and Man!

Both of them understood that this is the state of Unity of Heaven and Man that Daoists pursue.

They saw the path ahead, saw how to break through the first-grade realm…

A faint smile of joy could be seen on Pei Xuanjing’s face. Although the time of Unity of Heaven and Man was brief, merely lasting a few breaths, it also helped him affirm his hypothesis and paved the way for his future.

Martial Arts cultivation involves tempering muscles and bones, refining internal organs and marrow, then after all this, transforming oneself by casting off the old, there by reaching the ultimate limit of martial arts.

Such practice, before the Tang Dynasty, was known as Mortal Realm.

Only by breaking the shackles and entering the Spirit Realm, can one truly step onto the path of Cultivation.

With this in mind, Pei Xuanjing looked at the old Taoist master whose eyes glimmered with a hint of a smile, understanding that the other party had also made significant gains from the duel.

The two could not help but smile at each other.

“Having the opportunity to exchange moves with you today is an honor,” he said.

“You are too kind, I am grateful for your instruction today, Master.” The two were all smiles as if they had never crossed swords.

Those watching around them had peculiar expressions on their faces.

“Greetings Master, and greetings to True Person Longevity.” Yu Yangzi stepped forward and addressed them.

While speaking, Yu Yangzi found it strange to look at the young face in front of him, and after some thought, came up with this respectful title.

Truthfully, Pei Xuanjing’s strength could be comparable to the old Taoist master’s, however, he is extremely young, so this senior Yu Yangzi didn’t have the heart to call him out.

“Greetings, Elder Yu Yangzi.” Pei Xuanjing nodded his head in return.

The old Taoist master nodded his head as well, then turning towards his disciple, he guessed his disciple’s intention and asked, “Are you wondering who won?”

Yu Yangzi nodded his head. The old Taoist master glanced at Pei Xuanjing and said, “I’d say it was a tie.”

Though Yu Yangzi’s face remained unchanged, his heart was a turmoil. Even though he had cultivated for many years, he remained calm on the outside, but both Pei Xuanjing and the old Taoist master noticed his unusual behavior.

However, the old Taoist master didn’t seem to care about his disciple’s thoughts, he suggested to Pei Xuanjing, “Why don’t we change our clothes and then carry on with our discussions?”

Pei Xuanjing chuckled and nodded: “That sounds great!”

The two left arm in arm, leaving a bewildered Yu Yangzi behind.

Just as the crowd in the distance was trying to figure out who won, a faint crack could be heard.

Creak!

Yu Yangzi’s face changed subtly as a trace of regret appeared in his eyes. He looked at the Practice martial arts field under his feet, which cost countless money to construct and had already become a prized treasure of Dragon Tiger Mountain himself.

Continuous sounds rang out as countless cracks appeared on the once sturdy arena.

Crash!

The Practice martial arts field suddenly exploded into countless fragments that flew in all directions!

“Hmm!” Those witnessing this event were overjoyed.

‘Everyone, this is the property of Dragon Tiger Mountain, please…” Before Yu Yangzi could finish his sentence, someone shouted out.

“Quick, if you can get a fragment that has sword marks on it, you will be able to comprehend the sword techniques of these two highest cultivators..”
