The Way of The Dao

Chapter 256 99 Heavenly Swords

?Ling Tian dodged the Chimera's swift attack, moving several meters away.

He has been attracting the attention of this demonic beast while at the same time keeping an eye on Lan Yin and Yun Mengxin in case they needed help. Ling Tian would not let anything happen to them.

GROAR!

The Chimera continued to roar wildly, trying to reach Ling Tian with its claws and tail. Despite being a giant, flying demon beast, it could still move fluidly, chasing Ling Tian.

Slash!

Ling Tian observed that both Yun Mengxin and Lan Yin managed to finish off all the flying demon beasts and retreated to where the other women were.

"It seems that it is time to end this Chimera." Ling Tian muttered as he increased his speed by dodging all the attacks, as he concentrated completely on this demon beast.

Swoosh!

The Chimera's tail came to within one meter of him late, and then Ling Tian threw a cut with his sword, wanting to cut off the tail.

The head seemed to have its own intelligence as it moved quickly to dodge Ling Tian's attack, while the body continued to move in every way, wanting to tear Ling Tian apart with its claws and fangs.

"Now that I remember, when I was in the Cultivation World, I had learned the special movement of the <99 Heavenly Swords< but then I discarded it when I ascended to the Immortal World, beginning to learn new techniques..." Ling Tian spoke to himself as he continued to dodge the Chimera, remembering the movement of the heavenly sword: "Why didn't I remember when I fought the Cerberus?" He rolled his eyes as he cursed himself for not remembering that technique earlier.

Now it suited him very well to use again those special movements of the sword. It would be easier to do that than to just want to kill the Chimera with pure brute force.

GROARRR!

The Chimera rushed at Ling Tian, wanting to destroy him by opening its huge mouth and showing its ferocious fangs.

Ling Tian dodged and spaced out a few yards as he remembered the pattern of the movements again.

"Now I will be able to use the First, Second and I think Third Strike of the 99 Heavenly Swords."

Ling Tian held the sword tightly while he finished remembering the special movement perfectly.

Increasing his power even further, Ling Tian moved quickly to the Chimera.

The moment Ling Tian approached, five shining swords began to form around him, heading towards the Chimera.

* First Strike - 5 Heavenly Swords *

The women were surprised when they saw this.

Five swords formed with pure and powerful energy had appeared near Ling Tian and were heading towards the Chimera. If they did not have their spiritual sense, they might think that these swords were real since at first glance they looked like any other sword.

SLASH!

Ling Tian arrived and threw a cut at the Chimera, cutting off one of its front legs while the 5 swords buried themselves in its skin and managed to cut off one of its claws. The ones that were buried in its skin made a deep cut and then disappeared, as they were made only of energy.

The Chimera apparently could feel pain when it began to roar more ferociously. The snake's head on its tail moved nimbly and tried to bite Ling Tian but failed again.

Ling Tian began to feel this past feeling and quickly began to get used to the feeling in order to perform the movement of the 99 Heavenly Swords.

The immortal essence of Ling Tian flowed quickly through his entire body, instantly forming 15 swords again close to him but this time with more brilliance and specific shape.

* Second Strike - 15 Heavenly Swords *

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

The swords would cut and tear the Chimera's entire body, beginning to slow its movements.

SLASH!

3 swords cut off its wings, causing the Chimera to grunt in pain and fall heavily to the ground.

PAM!

The Chimera smashed heavily into the ground, rumbling around.

Ling Tian grinned as he approached the Chimera trying to move again.

* Third Strike - 30 Heavenly Swords *

SLASH!

30 swords quickly formed and began to cut towards the Chimera. Ling Tian moved easily and managed to cut off the tail of the demon beast.

The Chimera was no longer able to move when more swords became embedded in it and began to tear its entire body.

Some swords cut off its claws and others even ripped off its huge head, killing it quickly as the Chimera did its last moves before it stood still and finally died.

The 30 swords disappeared after a while.

The snake head on the tail was still alive, showing its fangs wanting to bite him. However, the head couldn't do much as half of its body had been cut off and the strength provided by the main body no longer existed.

Ling Tian sneered and threw his sword at the snake's head, cutting it in half and killing it instantly.

SLASH!

The snake's head broke in half and fell to the ground.

"Haa... Haa..."

Ling Tian gasped with some heaviness when his strength was greatly depleted.

'My current cultivation only allows me to use up to the Third Strike, and that is because my essence remains immortal, which gives me much more power and strength...' Ling Tian thought to himself as he sat on the ground and tried to recover his breath: 'If I had normal cultivation essence instead of the immortal essence, I would only be able to perform the First Strike completely...'

Although he could have gone back to the Second Strike, Ling Tian still wanted to more or less test where his current limit was by using the movement of the 99 Heavenly Swords.

'It would be better if I had my true weapon...'

"Husband! Are you all right?!"

Several worried voices were heard when the girls came down and headed for Ling Tian who was sitting on the floor with his breath almost stabilized.

Ling Tian turned to see them and smiled calmly, "Um, I'm fine, just a little tired." He didn't have any injuries on his body, just a little exhausted from pushing his limits a little.

Still, the girls came closer and began to look at Ling Tian's body for any injuries.

Ling Tian smiled lovingly at their concerns and immediately assured them that he was fine.

No demon beast was anywhere near the place, as the fight against the Chimera drove them away and they ran from the place.

"How did you make those swords appear?"

"Were those really swords?"

"Can we do that too?"

After several seconds had passed and the atmosphere had calmed down, the women began asking Ling Tian when they remembered what had happened.

"That's one of the many special moves we cultivators use." Ling Tian smiled at them and explained, "Depending on your level of cultivation, you can learn many different skills and moves, and these will help you in your battles and increase your level of strength even more."

The girls marveled at this. They were just beginning to learn all these kinds of things and of course they wanted to learn these special skills.

"Are you going to teach us that movement too?" Long Yuyin asked while looking fervently at Ling Tian.

"If you want, I will teach you." Ling Tian nodded and said, "But Yuyin, you are used to daggers, so I will teach you a movement related to them better. I will also teach all of you movements according to your favorite weapons."

Long Yuyin nodded when she remembered that she had always used her daggers. Now she hoped that Ling Tian would teach her those special moves like the ones she had seen before.

The women nodded with a smile at the thought of learning these amazing moves.

Once they reach the state of the Foundation Establishment, he will teach them powerful movements and skills.
