Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 467 Broken Sword Kills

The human-headed pig hid in the corner, looking left and right at the black-clad ghost mask, then right at the green-clad sword immortal. The tense atmosphere and intense killing intent made even it extremely nervous, and it lost its appetite for grass.

The two fighters locked in a fierce battle kept a close eye on each other's movements, rapidly planning and strategizing their next attack.

The masked man's hesitation was self-evident. Many secret manuals, techniques, and formulas of the Xuanmen sect are kept hidden and passed down secretly precisely to catch you off guard. Once someone sees them and becomes prepared, they lose their effectiveness. Therefore, the greatest taboo of the Xuanmen sect is having their abilities exposed.

Because "breaking through" means having witnessed it, whether in personal combat or through a sect's inheritance, there's always someone who has seen this technique, survived, and might have developed a countermeasure. Therefore, in every subsequent move and strategy, one must be more cautious, guarding against potential hidden attacks from the opponent, and considering whether to unleash another ultimate move. The amount of calculation involved is multiplied.

Needless to say, Tie Dan was wary of her. Xuan Nu's Body Refinement Technique was truly powerful.

Yes, some people are indeed confident and arrogant, looking down on such trash, which is difficult to refine and repair, and lacks cost-effectiveness in the early, mid, and late game.

But Tie Dan knew perfectly well that the enemy had already come to their doorstep; there was no such thing as early, mid, or late game! The Mysterious Maiden's Body Refinement Technique was the most suitable divine skill for the Tai Chi Heavenly Sword version!

Indeed, there are countless divine skills in the Tai Chi world, and the three major schools have a wealth of unique techniques. But if we were to make a comprehensive evaluation, the best ones would always be those defensive techniques that grant indestructibility, immortality, the ability to revive on the spot, and the ability to instantly return to life.

To put it bluntly, there are relatively few such techniques.

The three major sects of the Immortal Palace, Mysterious Gate, and Divine Sect have all been characterized by high attack and low defense. It's common for them to be able to kill each other instantly, and even when they are fighting monsters of a higher level, they can easily fail.

The Celestial Palace has been arrogant for ten thousand years, relying on its strong muscles and armor, thick blood and high resistance. With its remaining fist, it can beat you so badly that even your mother wouldn't recognize you.

The Xuanmen sect is invincible, so why bother with so many secret techniques and methods? As long as one's Qi cultivation is refined to the highest level, one can become invisible and unpredictable, so that you cannot catch or grasp one, and one will naturally be invincible.

Upon joining the Divine Cult, he became even more invincible. The Blood God Child was practically the answer to the problem, possessing flawless offensive, defensive, resurrection, and spiritual energy, making him an all-rounder with no weaknesses.

No matter how high your DPS is, if your positioning isn't skillful and your health is too low, you won't survive and won't be able to deal any damage. That's all there is to it.

Therefore, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's Three Revolutions and Nine Transformations Body Refining Technique was considered, for a considerable period of time—no, even to this day—the number one divine skill that people in the Xuanmen sect comprehended from the Heavenly Book.

Yes, that's right. It has both physical and magical resistance. You can't break its defense or lose health when you hit it, and it even restores your Qi. Isn't that invincible?
Perhaps in sixty or several hundred years, the Mysterious Maiden's Refinement Technique will be phased out, and there may be even more powerful techniques. At least in Tie Dan's era, it is indeed the top-tier (T0) strength of the version.

Indeed, this skill requires the collection of all nine volumes of the Mysterious Maiden's Heavenly Book to cultivate, and it also requires nine cycles and nine transformations to achieve success. In the end, the nine energies of Tai Chi must be integrated into the heart and merged into one. It is extremely difficult to succeed, takes a very long time, and yields very little benefit.

But then again, isn't this old Xuanmen who, having attained divinity and enlightenment, had nowhere to fly to and nothing else to do? If he could master a technique that would make him invincible, why wouldn't he practice it?

Of course, we shouldn't exaggerate. If the opponent were truly invincible, there would be no need to fight. Nine times out of ten, he hasn't mastered it yet. Otherwise, why would he have dodged that half-move? Besides, once he's fully mastered the divine skill, he could just openly and honestly attack Ling Xuzi instead of bullying him here.

However, it's not very meaningful to just obtain one or two celestial books and start cultivating the initial form. You need to obtain at least six books before it's worth abandoning your cultivation method and starting from scratch. You need to go through at least five or six cycles before you can start fighting.

The dream also mentioned that one must possess at least one of the top three skills in the world to have the ability to collect the Heavenly Book.

Therefore, this guy in front of us, who was hiding his true identity and almost tore Tie Dantou off with a casual move, is obviously a Xuanmen master who can compete for the top three in the world.

Who could it be? It's a pity that Tian Gang is only ranked in the top ten of the Xuanmen sect; there are at least nine more ahead of him. It's so hard to guess...

Then I won't guess anymore.

Tie Dan knew very well that this might not be the first time he had encountered such a master, but it was definitely the first time he had encountered a master who truly intended to kill him.

Whether it was Lingxuzi or Grand Master Xuandu, they all had their own reasons and calculations. Even Tiangang had the intention of seizing his Dao body. They only fought in the primordial spirit and never seriously used any body-breaking killing moves.

But this masked man really intended to kill him and make room for the Nine Great Mystic Sects.

There won't be a second chance; let's go for the kill.

life or death
50-50!

"My sword!"

This time, Tie Dan struck first, with a lightning-fast, one-handed strike! A celestial descent! His signature sword strike! A direct hit to the brow!

"court death!"

The masked man thrust his bone whip forward, meeting the attack head-on! It was the same desperate thrust, leaving no room for retreat! He aimed with all his might, determined to kill with a single blow!

Yes! Absolutely confident! In fact, after our exchange just now, the masked man already knew the answer!

Regardless of cultivation level or skill, he has the advantage over Tie Dan. He has broken through Qi and physical barriers, making him capable of both fighting and killing!

The only two miscalculations were that this kid seemed to have seen the Mysterious Maiden's Refining Form Technique somewhere before. The other was that, despite his young age, his divine sense was incredibly powerful, completely ignoring the Soul-Shattering Whip that he had refined over a thousand years! With a single lash, those ghostly, soul-shattering, and mind-shaking attacks on the primordial spirit were utterly ineffective! It was truly unexpected; even that half-move was originally unnecessary!

But it doesn't matter! Even if the spiritual attack is ineffective, the advantage is still mine! The timing and the circumstances are perfect! His attacks are faster, stronger, his defense is thicker, and he has an extra hand! What is there to be afraid of? Let's fight!
Thus, the bone whip clashed with the black sword! Like needle against wheat awn! A full-force attack! A clash of titans!
"Snapped!"

It's severed!
not yet!
It's stuck!!

The black sword cleaved through the whip, striking directly into the center of the bone whip! It broke through twelve vertebrae, only to become lodged in the thirteenth vertebra! It couldn't be pulled out for a moment!
Both of them were shocked, never expecting this outcome! But they reacted in an instant!
The masked man ripped out Tie Dan's heart with a tiger claw! A slap came hurtling towards his face! This time, he didn't dodge or evade, unleashing his full power, his skill at its peak! His five fingers tore through the wind and shattered the air! He was determined to pierce five holes in Tie Dan's head!

Iron Egg was even more ruthless, refusing to dodge or evade! "I'll fucking face the arrow with my Jade Balance Eye Sword!"
"Om-!"

A beam of sword light, as sharp as thunder and plasma, shot out from the azure eyes! It aimed directly at the masked man!

If it were an ordinary Dao Qi Flame Flow, it wouldn't be so bad; with the Dao Body refined by the Mysterious Maiden's Body Refining Technique, it could be absorbed with ease. However, this Demonic Divine Art is not yet fully mastered! Therefore, it naturally still has a chance to break through the defense of the Mountain Man Sect Master's supreme Jade Balance Sword, which is specifically designed to attack him! It forced the opponent to withdraw his palm to block!

"Wow——!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Tie Dan met the attack with all his might! His sword power exploded! The sword light from Yuheng Tongzi burst forth like a raging torrent! It scorched the masked man's ashen palm, leaving a visibly charred and festering wound, a hole about to burst from his hand! The overflowing sword light burst forth from between his fingers, spraying and scattering wildly within the cave, sweeping away rocks and shattering walls! It sent sand and stones flying! The blast sent the human-headed pig scurrying away, "Eek! Eek!"
"Ah--!"

"Boom!"

However, the masked man lived up to his reputation as the sect leader of Yishan! His skill was unparalleled! With a flick of his wrist, he executed the White Crane Spreads Wings! In that instant, the sword light that could cripple even the Heavenly Gang was deflected by his palm with his supreme Qi cultivation! By the slightest difference, he twisted his waist and dodged the sword light's direct attack! The sword could only graz his mask and crash into the mountain behind him! It shattered the five-colored divine stone into pieces!

"die!"

Seizing this momentary advantage! Taking advantage of the opponent's collapsed stance! Tie Dan charged forward recklessly! He swung his sword horizontally and sharply! The half of the black sword protruding from the whip was aimed directly at the masked man's neck!
However, the masked man's skill, speed, agility, and tactical acumen were even superior to Tie Dan's! This time, he was filled with murderous intent and personally took action, making thorough preparations! He also knew that since Tie Dan recognized Xuan Nu's Body Refining Technique and was still desperately trying to stab him with this black sword, he must be confident of killing him. He could use this sword to break Tie Dan's magic and damage his body, so how could Tie Dan fall for it!
"Ding!"

Just as the black sword was about to slash at his neck, a beam of light shot out from the brocade pouch at the masked man's waist! It was a flying sword that struck the spine of the black sword, breaking the blade in two!
"Oh!"

The man with the advantage pressed his advantage! At the same time, the masked man launched his counterattack! A sudden, invisible kick rose from under his robe! The kick struck Iron Egg's dantian, sending him flying backward like a shrimp!

"boom!!"

Tie Dan was struck by this heavy blow and kicked so hard that he was embedded in the mountain wall. His bones were broken, his energy was dissipated, and he was exhausted. Blood gushed from his seven orifices! He lost the ability to fight back and was on the verge of death!

"die--!"

"boom!!"

How could the masked man miss this golden opportunity! Like a bat taking flight, he swooped down, hurling his bone whip! It struck Iron Egg's leader squarely! The blow sent blood splattering, flesh flying, and bones vanishing completely, obliterating him to utter ashes!

Won!

"Oh!"

However, in that instant, the scattered blood and flesh suddenly transformed into a giant claw! It punched the masked man away!
What! ! ?
"Ow—!"

Instant resurrection! Revive on the spot!
The demonic Yazi leaped out from the mountain of flesh and sea of ​​blood! Its gaping maw bit at the masked man's limbs in mid-air! It crushed the masked man against the rock wall! Its sharp teeth and claws dug and plucked at his heart and soul! Instantly, it tore through his clothes and robes, leaving bloody streaks on his body!
From the top of Yazi's head, hundreds of tentacles, resembling the braids of sea anemones, suddenly shot out, taking advantage of the masked man's momentary scramble to tightly wrap around and entangle his head! There was no longer any possibility of escape!
Then Yazi opened its ten thousand eyes.

If one sword strike isn't enough, then ten thousand! The Thousand-Eyed Yazi Pupil Sword!

“Swish, swish, swish——!!”

"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands! Countless immeasurable sword lights shot towards his face! A chaotic barrage of attacks! Countless sword lights flashed wildly!
The mask on the masked man's face was instantly blasted to dust! Completely obliterated!
The endless, relentless sword light slashed and struck, each strike aimed at the head! Even with his powerful Body Refinement Technique, a single sword strike from Tongzi couldn't sever his head! It was enough to leave a deep, bone-revealing scar on his face! In an instant, the man was disfigured beyond recognition! Pierced a thousand times, his face covered in blood! He was reduced to a truly demonic mask! It seemed he was about to be torn to pieces! Blast to smithereens!

"what--!"

In the midst of calamity, anyone can die.

The masked man finally settled in Bengbu; he couldn't keep up the act anymore and resorted to his ultimate move.

"Xuanji Transformation!!"

"Bang!!"

The masked man abandoned his whip and transformed it into palm strikes, his left hand wielding the Master's Seal and his right hand the Doumu Seal! Both palms struck simultaneously, the wind swirling violently! Instantly, immense palm force erupted from his body! Boundless power exploded like a hurricane, forming a swirling, meteor-like barrier of Qi around him! In an instant, it scatters the Ten Thousand Eyes Sword Light, shattering all of its tentacles! Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed a burst of Qi, sending Ya Zi flying and breaking free!
"Azure Sky Suppresses Calamity!!"

One move had barely appeared before another appeared! The masked man unleashed both palms simultaneously, releasing his terrifyingly powerful energy! The starlight around him swirled and transformed into a giant azure handprint that blasted outwards!
The two enormous handprints, one horizontal and one vertical, slashed and struck! Like two emerald walls, they crashed down, sending Ya Zi flying again and again! One palm slammed into the mountainside! The other cleaved in two with a blade! A monstrous dragon was cleaved in two! A raging sea of ​​blood burst forth from its body!

"Wow!!"

But it's not over yet!!
From the sea of ​​blood! Yet another blood shadow burst forth! Leaping forward, it unleashed a selfless sword strike! A powerful attack!

"Blood Talisman Divine Sword!!"

Huh! Even the Blood Talisman Divine Sword has a horse!
There's no time for shock or disbelief! No time for hesitation! It's a real, life-or-death struggle! No trump card will be used against us! No killing move will matter!
The final moment! Only a desperate fight to the death remains!
"Beidai Dipper! Central Platform Subdues Demons—!"

"Hmm—!"

"boom!!!"

This palm strike represents the pinnacle of skill; this palm strike represents the ultimate achievement; this palm strike is boundless and unparalleled.

This palm strike directly shattered the sky, leveled the mountain, and lifted the summit, tearing the demonic dragon, blood shadow, vegetation, and divine stone to pieces and reducing them to dust.

This palm strike shattered and collapsed half of Xiu and Shan's mountaintop, sending them flying. The mountain collapsed and the ground caved in, destroying everything and leveling it completely.

In an instant, mud and sand came flying, rocks flew everywhere, and smoke billowed like a tide. Even the wild boars by the roadside were swept away by the domineering palm force and buried under tens of thousands of tons of rock.

In the blink of an eye, the thrilling and fierce battle finally came to an end.

As the dust settled, the masked man stood panting in the smoke and dust, looking up at the starry sky exposed before him by the blasted-open mountain range. He took a deep breath and suddenly felt a sharp pain...

So he slowly lowered his head and saw that, without him noticing, a broken blade had pierced his heart, a broken sword was twisted in his dantian, and the pitch-black blade went straight into his body.

With just one careless move, he ended up with his nine qi completely sealed, all his magic broken, his heart and abdomen pierced, his path severed and his body killed!

Do not!
Not even close!
"You?!"

The masked man roared! He grabbed the broken sword that was half-inserted into his abdomen and pulled it out with a swift motion!
