Chapter 13: The True Absolute Sword of Earth and Fire (Part 2)
Hmph!
As soon as the words fell, a layer of golden red sword energy suddenly appeared on Yuwen Nu's body, and there seemed to be a faint layer of golden red flames burning on top. As soon as this sword energy appeared, with Yuwen Nu as the center, the black iron swords within several feet around him quickly turned bright red, almost melting away. The ground where the black iron swords were inserted became soft like tofu. The two black iron swords that Yuwen Nu was stepping on slowly sank downwards.
At this moment, Yuwen Ruo seemed like a scorching fireball to the crowd under the sword platform, vowing to burn everything around him to ashes.
"Earth Fire Sword Qi! That's Earth Fire Sword Qi!"
Among the inner disciples of Sifeng, many people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and as soon as the earth fire sword energy was released, it undoubtedly explained a problem.
"He practiced the Earth Fire True Absolute Sword, he succeeded in practicing the Earth Fire True Absolute Sword!"
Several disciples of the Purple Mist Peak couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, which made the nearby disciples of the Lianlian Peak feel displeased. They looked at Yuwen Nu on the sword platform, who was like a fire god descending into the world. Every one of them had their eyebrows furrowed. For the disciples of the Lianlian Peak who mostly practiced water-based sword techniques, they wouldn't have any good feelings towards Yuwen Nu, who had mastered the fire sword technique. Although Yuwen Nu's earth fire sword technique belonged to the fire true lineage, the heat of his aura would make them feel even more uncomfortable than usual male disciples with fire-based sword techniques.
At this time, some of the Four Peaks disciples recalled some allusions about Chaoyang Peak. The Earth Fire True Absolute Sword, along with Chaoyang Peak's Town Peak Profound Swordsmanship - Yang Sword Style, were known as the two great fire true profound swordsmanships. Its earth fire sword energy surpassed all other fire attribute sword energies. What it pointed to was the ability to refine gold and iron.
This is their description of the Earth Fire True Absolute Sword in their memories. According to ancient records, no one has mastered the Earth Fire True Absolute Sword for nearly two hundred years. Unexpectedly, it reappeared today. Chaoyang Peak was truly astonishing to them, but soon they let go of it. Even Feng Lei Jian Qi had two appearances, so the appearance of this Earth Fire Jian Qi wasn't that strange after all.
Looking at the sword platform again, facing Yuwen's angry and hot gas-filled fire sword energy, Yuji did not yield, and a cyan-colored Xuanfeng sword energy also floated up on his body. The blue and red lights occupied half of the sky above the sword platform, neither giving in to each other.
Clang——
In an instant, the two clashed in the center of the sword platform, their blades intersecting with a sharp screeching sound, a burst of dazzling sparks spreading out from between their blades. The two simultaneously retreated several steps, each leaving the other's sword energy on their own swords. Yun Wenyu activated the Earth Fire Sword, his arm shaking as he dispersed the Xun Wind Sword energy that had invaded the Earth Fire Sword. Yuwen Ruo's expression turned grave as he gazed at Yun Wenyu.
At the same time, the aura on his body surged again, and the Earth Fire Sword in his hand spun around in a circle. With a hiss, a three-foot-long Earth Fire Sword energy extended from the sword tip, and the golden red Earth Fire Sword energy shot out with a piercing sound. The air was distorted by the hot air, forming a swirling vortex of air that rapidly rose upwards.
Whoosh——
Whoosh——
Whoosh——
Yuwen Nu's eyes flashed with anger, and the four-foot-long Flame Sword danced rapidly, its movements light and agile, like a court dancer waving a long silk ribbon. This effortless yet masterful display made Lu Qing and others under the sword platform nod in secret admiration.
As Yuwen's angry fire sword danced urgently, more than a dozen three-foot-long earth fire sword energies shot out with a whooshing sound, the sword energy was like shooting stars, bringing up red light tails that were several meters long, the space it passed through was scorched by hot air, the air seemed to have turned into a calm lake surface, being struck by falling rocks, completely distorting and shattering the reflected scenery within.
A calm face, Yu Ji and the green cloud sword stirred up a strong gust of wind, dancing with Yuwen Nu's movements, three-foot-long whirlwind sword energy wrapped in intangible tornadoes, counterattacking the earth fire sword energy that Yuwen Nu shot.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In the center of the sword platform, a huge roar sounded, and waves of cold air spread out with the collision of the two sword energies. The scattered sword energy shattered countless black iron swords that had been inserted, while the two continued to swing their swords without stopping. The primordial energy between heaven and earth continuously gathered towards the two, and endless sword energy burst out from the two's sword instruments.
Hūn
Hūn
Hūn
Under the gaze of the four peak disciples, the sword stage between Yu Jihua and Yuwen Nu was completely destroyed, with shattered swords scattered into the gaps of the surrounding black iron swords. Even the ground cracked open due to their movements, almost revealing the dark mud inside.
As the two sword energies collided, the powerful air waves also pushed both of them backward. When they had each retreated several zhang and were about to reach the edge of the Sword Platform, they simultaneously changed their moves.
With a sweep of his foot, the golden red flames of the Earth Fire Sword rose up, and with one kick, he shattered the black iron sword. Yuwen Nu's body leapt up like an eagle, the Earth Fire Sword energy spreading out to envelop the entire sword, forming a seven-foot-long, three-inch-wide golden red energy sword that slashed down towards Ruyu Huazheng's head.
"Sever the earth with a single slash!" A loud shout echoed through the air, as Yuwen's furious aura descended like a mountain.
"Zi Xiao Xun Wind Shield!" Without hesitation, facing this Yuwen Nu's sword that was as fierce as a stormy cloud, Yu Jihua's Qingyun Sword emitted a bright cyan light, and the Xunfeng Sword Qi quickly enveloped the sword body, also forming a seven-foot-long Xunfeng Air Sword. He took a step back with his left foot, and Yu Jihua pointed his finger like a sword, with a layer of Xunfeng Sword Qi wrapped around his fingertip, inserting it into the hilt of the Xunfeng Air Sword, rapidly rotating in sync.
Sigh——
Sigh——
As the movement of Yu and Hua, the Xunfeng air sword suddenly transformed into a round cyan air curtain, with dense Xunfeng sword energy on its surface. A horizontal tornado over one zhang wide was quickly generated, and the cyan tornado roared like thunder, rushing towards the ground fire true absolute slash that Yuwen Nu was about to unleash.
His right hand tightened slightly, the two people's cultivation and swordsmanship were almost identical, and neither of them used the five elements sword energy. Lu Qing was also unable to determine who would win or lose between the two. At this moment, both of their profound sword techniques were simultaneously unleashed, and in that instant, it was impossible to say who had the upper hand.
Pfft——
The earth fire sword slashed fiercely onto the green dragon vortex, and in an instant, Yuwen Nu felt a powerful tearing force coming from the earth fire sword, as if it was going to tear his condensed air sword into shreds within the vortex.
But Yuwen Nu was not annoyed at all, instead, his face showed an excited expression, and he let out a loud roar. The seven-foot-long Di Huo Zhen Jue suddenly burst into a magnificent golden red flame, cutting into the dragon vortex with unstoppable force. As Yuwen Nu approached, the nearby cyan dragon vortex was firmly split in two.
When Yuwen Nu's feet touched the ground, Di Huo Zhen Yue also collided with Yu and Hua Jianzhi's rapidly rotating Purple Xuanxun Wind Shield.
Ding——
Ding——
Ding——
The sound of clashing sword blades merged into a single piece, the shattered earth fire sword energy and wind sword energy shot out in all directions from between the two people. With a raised eyebrow, Xuan Qing stretched out his hand to grab at the air, and a purple-red light flashed at the tip of his finger. Instantly, the sword energy that had shot out from the sword platform came to an abrupt halt in mid-air. As Xuan Qing's palm closed into a fist, it shattered into tiny green or golden red specks of light that dispersed into the air.
On the sword platform, Yu and Hua were facing off against Yuwen Nu in mid-air. As Yuwen Nu pressed down, the black iron sword under Yu's feet slowly sank into the ground, emitting a mournful screeching sound.
Lu Qing's expression changed as he saw the situation, and these two people entered a fierce competition with him, just like his previous encounter with Si Tu Chong. This was extremely dangerous, and if they were slightly careless, it would end in defeat or even death. Lu Qing did not expect that at this moment, the two men's fighting spirit was so strong, and they actually started competing for the sword yuan.
Around the two, the primordial energy of heaven and earth split into two strands, entering each person's body. On the sword platform above, due to the rapid convergence of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, bursts of muffled thunder suddenly rang out. The rumbling thunder accompanied the momentum of the two people's competition, astonishingly stunning all the disciples below the platform.
"This kid is too reckless!" Six Guardian Hu Luo Feng's face was filled with anger, yet also somewhat helpless. His disciple had many good qualities, but he was born to be a good fighter. Once he started competing with others, especially those who were evenly matched in swordsmanship, he would almost always go all out, even if it meant suffering serious injuries.
But this is a matter of timing, now that entering the Sword Pool is imminent, if one were to suffer heavy injuries, their cultivation would undoubtedly fall behind others by a large margin. Hu Lie Feng has entered the Sword Pool before, no one knows more about its training effects than him, and because the heavenly energy inside is too pure, even the appearance of heart demons during cultivation breakthroughs will be greatly reduced, it's simply a treasure land for sword cultivators.
According to Hu Luo Feng's estimation, one month in it is equivalent to a year of cultivation, and half a year is equivalent to six years. He was confident that as long as Yu Wen Nu entered it and came out again, he would definitely reach the peak of a swordsman.
Even if it develops well, with his guidance and full assistance, he has the confidence to let him enter the Sword Master level within two years. At that time, with the momentum of the earth fire sword energy, even entering the top ten of the Dragon Phoenix List is also very possible.
If this continues, it will only end in mutual destruction. The disciples of the various peaks under Sword Platform who have good eyesight can also see the state of Yu and Hua, and the outer sect disciples surrounding them are gradually getting up.
Fortunately, as the host and judge, Xuan Qing made a swift decision. His figure flashed, and he instantly broke into the midst of the two people's auras. Every scattered sword energy shattered into countless light points before even touching him. Under everyone's gaze, Xuan Qing's index finger produced a layer of purple-red sword aura resembling jade stone. This sword aura was as solid as a substance, like a real object, and under Xuan Qing's control, it did not emit any aura. Of course, no one present could withstand the explosion of the sword aura either.
