this infinite world

——Since Nian Xikong could guess Chu Hao’s intention, Yang Yun could naturally detect Chu Hao’s little movements.

However, Yang Yun did not intend to stop him, because no matter what Chu Hao did, it was not very important. After all, in his opinion, the other party was either unwilling to accept his identity, or there was a misalignment in his self-cognition, and it was normal for him to go crazy occasionally... Anyway, even if Chu Hao chose to annihilate himself on the spot, Yang Yun could completely save him.

That’s how confident you are about mastering the secret of the cycle of life and death.

But what Yang Yun didn't expect was that the other party quietly made big news for him... and this "big news" did not come from Chu Hao himself, but from the sword-cultivating girl next to him.

"...Purple Ying Sword?!"

Feeling the purple sword light that was not familiar but definitely not unfamiliar, tearing through the void and full of murderous intent, Yang Yun couldn't help but blurt out a voice of surprise.

If he was familiar with it, it was because the "Qingsuo Sword" that matched it had been in Luo Yinglong's hands before. Even though he was "expelled" by his master Baimei, the other party secretly injected all the original sword intent of the purple and green swords into his "Fuxi Sword", making this magic sword, which was very close to the innate spiritual treasure, get a corresponding strengthening.

In the final battle, Luo Yinglong, who had reached the tribulation period, relied on this essence of "innate purple and green energy" to reconstruct the phantoms of the purple and green swords in the void, and constructed the "purple and green golden sword formation" with Alia of the Demon Team. They attacked and defended tacitly to fight against the power of the saint together.

If you say it's unfamiliar... it's naturally because the "Purple Ying Sword" in front of Yang Yun at this moment is not temporarily materialized by the method of "virtual spiritual treasure" in cultivation, but it is the same as the "Green Suo Sword" in the hands of Luo Yinglong in the previous world of Legend of Sword and Fairy. It is a real treasure brought out from the plane of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!

It is rumored that the Ziying Sword is the innate purple-green energy that was born from the membrane of heaven and earth in the initial stage of the Shushan plane. It was accidentally obtained by a powerful person, who condensed it into the shape of a sword, thus forming a pair of innate spiritual treasures that can suppress the luck of the plane.

Of course, the Purple and Green Twin Swords can only be considered innate spiritual treasures when used together. If used alone, they are only close at best, and cannot really be called such... But even so, at this moment, when Nian Xikong is willing to sacrifice everything and fully promote the power of the Purple Ying Sword, it is enough to burst out with incomparably terrifying power!
But facing the purple sword ball pointing directly at his forehead, Yang Yun was not panicked at all. After all, as he said before, although the innate spiritual treasure is powerful, it also depends on who uses it. If you are not strong enough, then giving you a Tiandi Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda is useless... For Yang Yun now, if it was Luo Yinglong in the Tribulation Crossing Stage holding the Purple and Green Swords and attacking with all his strength, he might still look at him with a higher regard; but if it was a sword cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, what would it matter even if he burned his true spirit?

"That's all."

At this moment, Yang Yun let the sword light that could destroy the heavens and the earth approach his forehead. The terrifying might that was enough to tear the void apart seemed as gentle and harmless as a spring breeze in his eyes. When the space ripples stirred up by the sword ball approached his body, they were like water waves hitting an invisible barrier, or like a ship stuck in a quagmire, turning into a slow motion...

"Whoo~"

Facing the oncoming attack, Yang Yun didn't even raise his eyelids. He just casually exhaled lightly, and the green light from his lips turned into layers of green leaves in the space. And the Ziying Sword Pill, which carried all of Nian Xikong's energy and spirit and was activated at the cost of everything he had, actually swayed like a candle in this breath, and finally solidified three feet away from him, like being stuck in a quagmire and unable to move forward...

"Not bad. Considering your foundation-building stage, achieving this step is already an achievement."

At this moment, Yang Yun even had the leisure to calmly comment on Nian Xikong's performance. He was like a referee sitting on the jury, and said in a gentle tone: "Well... probably at the level of the fourth-level beginner?"

Of course, Yang Yun's comparison standard was naturally the former Luo Yinglong. After all, that fool had unlocked the fourth-order gene lock in the world of Fairy Sword and Fairy, and had also achieved the golden elixir in cultivation. He held the two magic swords, Qingsuo and Fuxi, and practiced the true teachings of Shushan in the two worlds... Being able to be compared with Luo Yinglong, who had the most advanced cultivation, moves, and equipment, was a recognition by Yang Yun.

The power of the attack is directly linked to one's own strength. Nian Xikong is only at the foundation-building stage, but she can unleash the power of this divine sword to this extent. This sword-cultivating girl from the North Ice Continent team is already proud of herself.

——However, Yang Yun’s sincere praise sounded like an obvious insult to Nian Xikong now!
You know, now Nian Xikong has really given up everything he has. After all, refining the sword pill is the biggest taboo of sword cultivation, nothing else. If you condense the sword pill before the Yuanshen stage, it will lead to an imbalance of power and the invasion of the inner demon. Before the Yuanshen stage, the inner demon calamity will directly erupt, and you will almost not be able to reincarnate, and directly lead to self-annihilation...

...And since Nian Xikong gambled everything for his partner's life, paid the price of self-destruction and used his life to promote the activation of the innate spiritual treasure, he can only be evaluated as "fourth-level elementary"?

Unforgivable!

“Kill you…!!!”

Although her body was gone, the blood in the eyes of Nian Xikong's true spirit, which was combined with the sword pill, surged, and the surface of the sword pill was filled with murderous intent. The "Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Art" she practiced was now running to its extreme - this famous magic technique was originally to use the evil spirit of the evil star to temper the sword heart. Jidu was in charge of killing, and Luohou was in charge of disasters. With the overlap of the two, every time her murderous intent surged, the power of the sword pill increased exponentially!
“Shhh—”

With a sharp sound like cloth tearing, the Purple Ying Sword Ball burst into a thousand-foot brilliance. Countless sword beams as thin as hair but sharp as a match burst out, interweaving into a net in an instant. These sword strands did not fly in a straight line, but twisted and entangled like living things, cutting even the space into broken mirrors wherever they passed!

Refining the sword into silk! One of the most commonly used moves by Yuan Shen period sword cultivators!

In the blink of an eye, the area of ​​several miles had turned into a purple purgatory. Each sword thread reflected Nian Xikong's boiling murderous intent, plowing deep and bottomless gullies on the ground. What was even more terrifying was that these sword threads were faintly forming the appearance of the Jidu evil star, adding a bit of power... And even at this time, the world composed of countless sword threads did not hurt Chu Hao and Zhang Heng on the other side at all, and even faintly protected the two of them!
"Great, if it's like this... it should work!"

The sword was ready, and Nian Xikong's true spirit finally raised a relieved arc. You should know that the move of refining swords into silk is specially used to block a large range of space, and it is a sword cultivation skill for group killing in battle formations. Not only that, the silk thread that looks as light as a feather is actually as heavy as a mountain, and it also hides deadly killing intent. If the infinite sword thread is touched by the enemy, it will immediately detonate the infinite sword intent. It is really "a single hair moves the whole body", which can be said to be a move that combines both offense and defense...

Although he didn't know why, Nian Xikong had a premonition that this move was the pinnacle of his life. Even in his first life, when he was at his peak, he had never slashed such a perfect sword. The star map formed by the sword silk not only blocked all the surrounding space, but also triggered the projection of the evil star Jidu, making the entire battlefield shrouded in blood-red starlight. Nian Xikong was sure that even if Master Baimei came in person, facing this deadly situation that combined the essence of magic and swordsmanship, it would take some effort -

Ok?
What about people?

Until this moment, Nian Xikong suddenly realized that the mysterious man who came from the sky had disappeared in front of her. The figure who was completely trapped in the net a second ago, now disappeared from her perception like a ghost!
It was because Nian Xikong did not have her own body at this moment, otherwise she would have been frightened and broken into a cold sweat, her clothes soaked with sweat...and when she pushed her spiritual consciousness to the extreme and maximized her perception, she was shocked to find that this person had changed his position at some point and was observing the purple sword threads that filled the space with great interest!
"——It's just like the 'Emperor's Barrier'."

Yang Yun stared at the strange field of purple sword threads in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. These hair-thin but sharp sword energies intertwined in the void to form an impenetrable death net, which was very similar to the barrier of Kakyoin Noriaki's "Green Emperor"?

"Unfortunately, my stand-in is not 'World', but 'Made in Heaven'."

Yang Yun's fingertips brushed over a trembling sword thread, and the unique clear sword intent of the Purple Ying Sword came through his fingertips, which was exactly the same feeling as when Luo Yinglong used it that year. The sword thread world covering a radius of twenty...two kilometers was beautiful, but it seemed a bit flashy at this moment.

In the "Light Wind" state, the fourth-level attack was as slow as a snail. Yang Yun could observe the slow movement of the sword thread at his leisure. This absolute difference in time perception was like a human observing a paramecium under a microscope. The opponent's life-consuming sprint was nothing more than a momentary crawling in his eyes.

In a trance, Yang Yun inexplicably recalled the despair when he and Zheng Zha fought against Fei Mian side by side. At that time, they could not even fight back and were killed dozens or hundreds of times... and since then, the opponents Yang Yun fought against were at least immortals. It has been a long time since he had the experience of bombing a fish pond like today.

But despite all the complaints, Yang Yun still quietly raised Nian Xikong's evaluation in his heart. After all, unlike Luo Yinglong in the Legend of Sword and Fairy, who only "used" but not "controlled" the Qingsuo Sword, Nian Xikong truly achieved a life-and-death fusion with the Ziying Sword. Each of those sword threads that shot out in space carried her personal aura, as if it was an extension of her body. It can be seen that her compatibility with the Ziying Sword has reached the realm of "man and sword as one"... This is the realm that Luo Yinglong reached after the battle with the "True Dragon Tiger King" in the Three-Eyed Clan Ruins.

In other words, when it comes to talent in "swordsmanship", Luo Yinglong is far inferior to the Master of Ziying Sword in front of him!

"Well, but it is indeed a bit of bullying. After all, it is obvious that the Purple Ying Sword Master has a history with Luo Yinglong. If he knew what happened here, I don't know how he would complain about me..."

Yang Yun's face flushed as he retracted his scattered thoughts. But before he could speak and express his attitude and intention at a normal speed, he saw the surrounding sword threads suddenly flow back into the purple sword pill at an astonishing speed like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!
In an instant, the purple sword pill burst out with a dazzling divine light that was enough to eclipse everything else. The sword threads that were absorbed back surged like liquid purple flames covering the surface, dyeing the entire night sky into a strange purple cloud. From afar, it was as if a purple sun fell from the sky, and the magnificent sword pressure made all creatures within a radius of thousands of miles bow down!

"Zheng——!"

The clear sound of the sword resounded throughout the universe. It was no longer the sound of ordinary iron clashing. Wherever the sound wave passed, the clouds were shattered. The sun and the moon lost their light!
"boom--!"

The thunder that followed shook the whole area, and the ground began to collapse accordingly. But this thunder did not come from the sky, but from inside the sword ball!
Sword Qi and Thunder Sound! One of the highest level combat skills of sword cultivators!

The sword cultivator used the technique of curvature theory in the orthodox cultivation theory to disrupt the curvature of the space in front and behind the sword ball, so as to make the sword ball reach the limit in an instant, close to or even exceeding the speed of light. And such a terrifying speed brings destructive power beyond imagination, and a thunderous sound that erupts at that moment...

"die!"

Amid Nian Xikong's clearly audible roar, the space around the Ziying Sword Ball suddenly showed a strange distortion, like silk crumpled by invisible hands, the space curvature at the front was forcibly increased, while the back was stretched to be almost flat. Under the effect of this extreme curvature difference, the Sword Ball instantly broke through the limits of conventional physics and turned into a purple lightning that tore through dimensions.

"boom--!!!"

At the moment of breaking through the speed of light, the spatial structure here finally couldn't bear the burden and completely shattered. The purple electric light that Nian Xikong couldn't control at this moment finally scattered wildly and randomly struck in all directions. But surprisingly, although these countless purple electric lights completely destroyed the surrounding terrain, they miraculously did not hurt Zhang Heng, who was wearing the silver holy clothes of the Sky Arrow and opened his arms to protect Chu Hao, as if the place where he was was a natural windless zone...

"Did you make it?"

When the purple color in the sky completely faded, Zhang Heng, who felt like he was about to be deafened, shook his head with a grin and jumped up instantly. In his opinion, Nian Xikong's move just now could be described as devastating. No matter what kind of enemy it was, it must be -

——Then, he saw Yang Yun, who was unharmed, holding the dull Ziying sword pill in his hand, as if observing the scene carefully.

"Sword Qi Thunder Sound?"

Looking at Nian Xikong who had forcibly activated a power beyond his limit, causing damage to the Ziying Sword, a semi-innate spiritual treasure, Yang Yun smiled slightly and casually sent a stream of immortal power to him.

"Well, not bad." (End of this chapter)
