Chapter 551: Chapter 299: One Against Five, One Sword Destroys the Arrogant of Heaven_2
Surrounding Xu Yan, sword light surged around him, mountains and rivers evoked, the intent to kill stirred in all directions!
Mountain and River Sword Array!
"What kind of Sword Dao is this?!"
"Using grass and trees as swords, unleashing thousands of swords at once?"
"No, it's not as simple as a barrage of thousands of swords. Haven't you noticed? It seems to form some kind of special pattern, creating an even stronger offensive technique."
The moment the Mountain and River Sword Array appeared, it shocked all around.
Even Wu Tianan, who was high in the clouds, was taken aback at this moment.
"What sort of Sword Dao is this? Has Ling Domain ever come across such a Sword Dao?"
In the Thousand Martial Hall, the Thousand Martial Lord and the others wore extremely serious and solemn expressions.
The Sword Dao of Xu Yan is too profound, too unimaginable!
"Converting mountains into swords, that's incredible!"
An elder said in a deep voice.
"Wu Tianan, how did you come up with such a Sword Dao?"
The elder wielding a sword said, grinding his teeth in shock.
Wei Yuan and the other two felt their hair stand on end at this point. Their faces changed drastically, and they roared together, converging upon each other, their martial arts power blending together.
Boom!
The sword light had already begun pouring down, surrounded by the sword array. The mountains and rivers were changing, their killing intent sharp.
"I reign supreme in the world of Sword Dao. Today, I'll show the likes of Thousand Martial Hall what true Sword Dao is!"
Xu Yan said coldly.
Boom!
"Kill!"
The trio of Wei Yuan were powerful after all. With their combined strength, they unleashed a mighty prowess, repelling and resisting the grass and tree-turned-swords flying at them.
The mountains and rivers changed, the sword light layered upon layer, but the attack never ceased.
With a sword in his hand, Xu Yan swung down, and between the alternations of the sword light, it seemed like the cycle of life and death.
Even though he had fortified the platform with his formation, it was still beginning to crumble in the midst of battle. Xu Yan knitted his brows, forcing the trio of Wei Yuan to leap into the air, off the platform.
He stepped up into the mid-air, one step at a time, continuing the fight there.
A large tree below crumbled in an instant, transforming into dozens of cold, gleaming swords swirling with Sword Intent, flying up into the sky, engulfing the figures of the trio Wei Yuan.
Swish!
Two more figures arrived, also belonging to the prodigal talents of the Seven Sects and Eight Families from the three countries.
"What is this?"
The two newcomers were terrified. What kind of Sword Dao is this?
It's completely beyond comprehension!
Even the martial artists who were watching the fight were shocked.
And the martial artist elder who had previously claimed that Xu Yan would surely lose, now felt his face heating up. It felt like all the stares directed at him were mocking.
He didn't display any change in his expression, but he quietly slipped away from the crowd and moved to a different, unfamiliar crowd, "Xu Yan truly is an exceptional genius, the top Loose Cultivator of this generation. The trio of Wei Yuan will undoubtedly lose!"
As if the person who had declared Xu Yan would lose before wasn't him!
"You two, have also come to challenge? Go ahead together!"
Xu Yan casually looked at the two young men who had just appeared.
"Arrogant!"
One of them said coldly.
But, gritting his teeth, he came forward with his knife.
The other, his face extremely ugly, held a sword in his hand. However, there was a ridiculous thought in his mind. It felt as though the sword in his hand might disobey his control at any moment, or even attack him!
"Even if Xu Yan's Sword Dao is powerful, I won't improve if I cower!"
Drawing in a deep breath, he let out a low roar. Sword Qi stirred as he also charged at Xu Yan.
At this moment, five prodigal talents were engaged in battle with Xu Yan alone!
The spectators were all shocked, with a hint of excitement growing within their hearts. Today, it seemed like they were about to witness a historic event.
An exceptional Loose Cultivator, facing off against five, dominating the talents of the Spirit Sect— a historic event that would rock the martial arts realm, seemed to be taking place today.
And they would be the witnesses!
More and more martial artists gathered to watch the battle, with both Loose Cultivators and Sect martial artists expressing their excitement, hoping that Xu Yan could single-handedly suppress the Spirit Sect prodigies.
However, not a few of the Sect martial artists had gloomy expressions on their faces.
If Xu Yan won this battle, the widely held belief that Spirit Sect prodigies could dominate over Loose Cultivator prodigies would be shattered. This wasn't a good thing for the Spirit Sect.
Xu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his Sword Qi raging. As the Sword Array was deployed, the Mountain and River Sword Dao and Life-and-death Sword Cycle were also continuously unleashed.
Facing five opponents at once, he too felt the pressure.
Although the power of the Sword Array was mighty, the five Wei Yuan prodigies were after all prodigies. Moreover, with their Qi intertwined and their martial arts power fused, the power they unleashed was extraordinarily fierce.
It was as if a single person was performing five completely different offensive techniques, and flawlessly integrating these five offensive techniques together.
Moreover, in terms of level, Wei Yuan's group was two levels higher than Xu Yan.
"Emergence into the Heart Sword Realm means that my heart contains a sword, and all things can form a sword. The sword is equivalent to my heart, and every thought is where the sword resides..."
During the battle, Xu Yan closed his eyes.
At this moment, he had a mysterious realization.
Every sword seemed to be his eyes, revealing different paths of attack at his command.
Heart Sword Realm had a new understanding.
Invisibly, the Sword Intent had somewhat changed.
Between his thoughts, Mountain River Sword Intent and Sudden Wind Sword Intent were interchanging. Faintly, there was a feeling that either Intent could transform into the other at a moment's notice.
It appeared as if the Sword Intent in his heart could float up according to his desires.
"I'm still missing something."
Xu Yan thought to himself.
He had some new insights, taking his Sword Dao to a higher level.
Looking back at the Thousand Martial Hall, he felt a tinge of regret. He lacked strength.
Otherwise, he could have directly turned the sect of the Thousand Martial Hall into a giant sword for his use and destroyed it with a mere thought.
"I'm still lacking some strength."
Xu Yan sighed internally, wondering what level he needed to reach to turn the Thousand Martial Hall into his sword with just a thought.
The Divine Skill Realm?
The Lord of the Thousand Martial Hall and his followers wore gloomy expressions, greed flashing in their eyes. Why couldn't such a powerful and mysterious Sword Dao belong to the Thousand Martial Hall?
No!
It would definitely belong to my Thousand Martial Hall!
They were completely unaware of Xu Yan's thought to turn the Thousand Martial Hall into his sword.
The battle grew increasingly intense. Wei Yuan and his companions put forth their full strength, blending their Martial Arts power into a formidable giant and blasting the incoming sharp swords.
And Xu Yan, sitting with his eyes closed, gained insights into Sword Dao, or even into every single sword.
Gradually, the Sword Array began to change, and so did the Sword Dao.
One sword executed the Mountain River Dragon Chant, while another executed the Thunder Sword...
Each sword executed a different Sword Dao. The Sword Daos cooperated with each other, forming the Sword Array and turning into an attacking Sword Array!
"I'm almost perfect now, my foundation has accumulated enough. It's time for my breakthrough into the Divine Origin Realm!"
Xu Yan sensed the "Momentum of Martial Arts" within him, which had gathered almost to perfection and could not accumulate any further.
The attacks from Wei Yuan's gang, and their Martial Arts Qi, were all absorbed by his Mountain River Sword Intent, feeding his Momentum of Martial Arts and allowing him to understand the different subtleties in their Martial Arts.
A few more prodigies arrived, their eyes full of shock. Xu Yan was fighting alone against five prodigies?
How did those scattered sword lights appear all over the sky?
It seemed that anyone entering it would undoubtedly die!
Xu Yan said nothing. Even if they wanted to join in, they had to restrain themselves. After all, they needed to save some face.
Moreover, it was necessary to respect the rules of competition among prodigies!
The powerful contenders from the seven sects and eight clans of the three countries under the rule of Wei Emperor had all arrived, each with their faces etched with gloominess.
Even when the five collaborated, they couldn't defeat Xu Yan?
Though the might of the current prodigy from the Thousand Martial Hall had never been witnessed, it was doubtful if he was capable of fighting single-handedly against the combined forces of the five men led by Wei Yuan, right?
If it was so, wouldn't it mean that none of the prodigies from the Thousand Martial Hall could stand against Xu Yan?
How could a loose cultivator like Xu Yan be this powerful?
Could one man suppress the prodigies of the Spirit Sect?
Xu Yan's eyes shot open, revealing two sword-like glints.
"It's time to end this!"
This battle had provided a sufficient foundation in Martial Arts for Xu Yan, and now it was time for a breakthrough into the Divine Origin Realm.
With a mere beckoning of his hand, the sword fell into his grasp.
He took a step forward and executed a sword strike.
Boom!
In the Mountain River Sword Array, each sword, in an instant, seemed to transform into a person, each holding a sword, striking together at the same time!
"This is bad!"
At this moment, the five men led by Wei Yuan felt a strong sense of life and death crisis.
"Attack!"
At this moment, a light surged from the five men, and their blood essence also spontaneously ignited at this moment, leading them to execute their life-threatening Martial Arts secret techniques.
Boom!
In the eyes of the stunned Martial Artists, the men led by Wei Yuan seemed to fuse into one, unleashing a faintly blood-colored powerful attack that suddenly emerged.
Boom!
The swords shattered. The attack, seemingly unstoppable, was launched at Xu Yan.
Yet, as Xu Yan's sword fell, the sword in that attack suddenly turned around, counterattacking!
With one sword strike, the prodigies were defeated!
