Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 257 Innate Realm (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Of course, Sun Yanwan wouldn't say that he had actually read the Shadowless Sword Manual.

What he said wasn't entirely a lie.

Sun Yanwan has truly grasped the essence of swordsmanship!

The fact that he couldn't advance to the Innate Realm for so long was largely due to his choice of the Xuanhuang Scripture.

Tao Xuanzhang switched to cultivating the Five Elements and Five Transformations, avoiding all other transformations. It wasn't that he couldn't master those transformations, but rather that the more transformations he mastered, the more difficult it was to condense the true essence of martial arts.

Sun Yanwan had at least three choices: choose any one of the Ten Transformations of Xuanhuang, condense the true meaning of martial arts, integrate the transformations she had already mastered, condense the true meaning of martial arts, and use a certain true meaning to penetrate all techniques...

In the end, he chose to use his sword intent to penetrate the Ten Transformations of Xuanhuang!
At this moment, he was using the Crimson Essence Fire Flag Technique, and his martial arts essence was unleashed, transforming into an incomparably blazing sword intent.

This sword intent spread out and permeated his entire body, allowing him to perceive the true form of the Shadowless Sword hidden among the thousands of sword shadows purely through his sword intent.

This matter is extremely mysterious, and even Sun Yanwan has not yet figured out all the changes.

Wuying Hou took a deep breath of true energy and unleashed his Wuying Sword Technique. The world was filled with scattered sword shadows, once again engulfing Sun Yanwan. He still couldn't believe that Sun Yanwan, who had just advanced in her cultivation, could withstand his Wuying Sword.

Sun Yanwan used the extraordinary skill of the Crimson Essence Fire Flag to activate the Hunyuan Sword Technique. At first, it was unremarkable, but as the two fought more and more fiercely, the blazing sword energy on the longsword shot out like the stars.

The Four Realms of Primordial Chaos - Initial Stage of Transformation!
The initial stage involves opening the bridge between heaven and earth, condensing the true meaning of martial arts, and opening more than five hidden meridians.

A master of the Subtle Realm can unleash several times more power with the same amount of true energy. The same moves will be executed with greater precision, making it easier to find the enemy's weaknesses.

The realm of transformation, the martial arts intent, can penetrate the enemy's sea of ​​consciousness and transform into various phenomena such as lightning and flames.

The realm of ultimate divinity, divine and enlightened, is beyond description.

Sun Yanwan has now mastered the three hidden meridians of coldness: Cold Spring, Moonlight, and Black Tide; the three hidden meridians of metal: Taibai, Taigeng, and Taixin; the three hidden meridians of wood: withered, flourishing, and sprouting; the three hidden meridians of yang: Yangyan, Chijing, and Lihuo; and the three hidden meridians of mountains: Fanghu, Lingtai, and Penglai! There are also three other hidden meridians: Wuxiang, Sumeru, and Diting, for a total of eighteen hidden meridians.

Although he had just entered the Innate Realm, he cultivated both internal and external strength and had gained sixteen more hidden meridians, so his true energy was inexhaustible. He was not at a disadvantage in terms of internal strength. He used the Hunyuan Sword Technique and the Great Songyang Divine Sword interchangeably, making the area three feet in front of him as solid as a rock.

Even with his masterful swordsmanship, Wuying Hou was unable to overpower Sun Yanwan for the time being.

After a fierce battle of over a hundred moves, Sun Yanwan gradually realized that each of her sword thrusts was slightly off-target, and several times she was almost taken advantage of by Wuying Hou. She suddenly realized that Wuying Hou was proficient in the secret techniques of Boshi Kingdom and had mixed his spiritual skills into his sword intent, which had already had a great influence on her.

"If this fight continues, I won't be able to tell where his Shadowless Sword will be aimed after at most seventy moves!"

"We can't keep fighting like this; we need to find a way to turn the situation around as soon as possible."

Little did he know, Wuying Hou was even more surprised than Sun Yanwan. In his life, he had fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and encountered more than a dozen enemies at the Innate Realm, but none of them were as troublesome as Sun Yanwan.

In terms of swordsmanship, neither the Hunyuan Swordplay nor the Da Songyang Swordplay is inferior to the Wuying Swordplay; the only difference is that these three swordplays follow different paths. Wuying Hou's Wuying Swordplay is based on unparalleled speed, and theoretically, he should be a level above Sun Yanwan and could easily suppress him. However, in reality, Sun Yanwan always has many ways to break his Wuying Swordplay. There are two reasons for this: first, Sun Yanwan has read the Wuying Sword Manual; second, Sun Yanwan has witnessed the Miao brothers' moves and how the Hu family countered the Miao family's fast blades, secretly learning many key techniques.

Without prior arrangement, the two launched dozens of fierce sword attacks each, then retreated more than ten steps.

Without hesitation, Sun Yanwan transformed her inner energy, switching to the Ruyi Qiankun Bag technique. Wuying Hou's lightness skill was simply too fast, and his swordsmanship was also too fast. He could no longer keep up and had to switch to his own best lightness skill, which was also the fastest.

After advancing to the Innate Realm, his speed of converting his internal energy increased even further, shortening from the time it took to drink a cup of tea to just over ten breaths.

However, this kind of conversion of power during battle is extremely risky, which means that Wuying Hou did not know his true strength and gave him the opportunity to successfully convert his true energy.

But Wuying Hou once again urged the Heavenly Sword Light, which, dotted with countless stars, enveloped Sun Yan. However, he discovered that the boy's swordsmanship had suddenly become three times faster. Although Rui was still not as good as his Wuying Swordsmanship, he had evened the score.

Wuying Hou was greatly surprised. He did not know the details of Songyang Sect's martial arts, but he had vaguely heard of the mysteries of Xuanhuang Ten Transformations. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this Xuanhuang Ten Transformations?"

"And what changes have occurred now?"

Sun Yanwan focused her attention on her sword and replied, "Ruyi Qiankun Bag."

After acquiring the Ruyi Qiankun Bag, Sun Yanwan abandoned the Great Songyang Divine Sword and only used the Hunyuan Sword Technique to fight. Every time his longsword clashed with Wuyinghou's longsword, he would borrow a bit of internal energy from the Ruyi Qiankun Bag's extraordinary power.

With Wuyinghou's cultivation level, his internal energy was solidified, making it difficult for the Ruyi Qiankun Bag to borrow his internal energy. However, Sun Yanwan's main purpose was not to borrow his internal energy, but to dissipate it.

The two fought fiercely for another twenty-seven or twenty-eight moves. Suddenly, Shi Si let out a long howl. She was worried that something might happen to her lover. Moreover, Sun Yanwan had already advanced to the Innate Realm. Why was he still fighting with Wuying Hou?

She turned gracefully, using the Lotus Step Divine Footwork of Shaochan Temple, her delicate body transforming into seven or eight, exchanging blows with Wuying Hou, facing twelve swords in one breath.

Even with his profound skill, Wuyinghou was starting to feel the strain. Although Sun Yanwan's martial arts were inferior to his, if there were three or five people at the Innate Realm like Sun Yanwan, he would be in serious trouble. Now, there weren't three or five people at the Innate Realm level like Sun Yanwan, but there was Shi Si, a Grandmaster Realm expert. Although Shi Si had only recently advanced in martial arts and was far from having the profound foundation of a veteran Grandmaster like Wuyinghou, the two of them working together were enough to give Wuyinghou a major setback.

After the three exchanged only a dozen or so moves, Wei Ying laughed and exclaimed, "I'll help you too!"

Hu Tuzhen, who had been unable to contain himself any longer, rushed forward and shouted, "Do even reputable sects have to resort to ganging up on people?"

Wei Ying smiled ruthlessly, and Hu Tuzhen, lacking Sun Yanwan's skill, was already at a disadvantage after just over ten moves.
Seeing this, Lu Shuangfeng and Wu Zhi rushed up and caught Zi Ji, the fifth general Zhi Yin, and the third general Ming Hai. Both of them were Xiantian level and were bullying three pirates who were still at the third or fourth rank. In a short while, they also gained the upper hand.

Wuyinghou could hold out against the combined forces of Sun Yanwan and Shi Si, but he knew that neither Hu Tuzhen nor his two generals could hold out for long. He hurriedly shouted, "I will cover the rear, you all run!"

He shouted and his sword flashed, catching Wei Yingxiao in the process...
