From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 253 Feeling good

At this moment, the Azure Sky Divine Sword was no longer an illusory sword spirit, but the true will of the sword.

Sharp, aloof, fierce, and fearless.

This was the first time in months that she had faced You Ming's attack with such pure fighting spirit.

The soaring sword shadows carried the purest killing power. The sword shadows trembled, and the reflected light shone outwards. Any flying sword was directly cut to pieces before it even got close.

Although the Azure Divine Sword is only a sword spirit, her swordsmanship is so superb that it has long reached the level of sword intent, and she has even dabbled in the higher level of sword domain.

She naturally wouldn't need to use [Sword Domain] to deal with You Ming.

But just getting her to use sword intent is already quite an achievement.

Clear as the sky, cleansing away all dust!
This is the sword intent of the [Azure Sky Divine Sword], like the clear sky after rain, washing away all things. Although it sounds beautiful, it has a domineering power that rejects and cleanses everything.

As the hazy light spread, more and more flying swords were cut in mid-air, as if the rain was being evaporated by the clear sunlight.

Finally, the sky cleared.

However, the flying swords continued unabated, and the rain of swords never ceased.

Within the area covered by the mirage world, these countless flying swords are nothing more than modules that have been copied countless times. No matter how many are damaged, You Ming can generate as many as he wants with a single thought.

"Let's try something new!"

You Ming hovered in the air with a smile on his face. He pointed his finger, and more and more flying swords flew towards the shadow of the Azure Sky Divine Sword like moths to a flame.

Old swords fall, new swords are born, like raging waves, endless and continuous.

Then, among these flying swords, some slashed horizontally, some thrust back, some coiled like chains, and some coiled like thunder dragons. Each one contained several variations, and each one risked suicide to gain a little bit of damage!
Each flying sword is imbued with its own independent killing logic, automatically seeking out enemies, automatically countering attacks, and automatically filling in gaps. Each one is like a "fierce warrior before death," pure in killing intent, fighting with everything in its path, charging forward without hesitation!

Although a single flying sword may seem a bit rigid, once the number increases, even just three strikes can create endless variations.

This was a reminder he received from the Azure Sky Divine Sword.

Previously, it was said that he lacked the resolute spirit of a sword cultivator, which was why his flying swords were weak and powerless. You Ming thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense.

But why does attacking with flying swords require me to have such a fearless spirit? Why not just make these flying swords "fearless"?
Since the flying swords can regenerate at any time, it means that each flying sword is a resolute suicide soldier.

Even if I break my body in exchange for a minor injury to you, it's still a huge profit for me.

Even if you sword cultivators aren't afraid of death, can you be more fearless than my flying sword?

Sword shadows and sword rain intertwined in the sky, creating a symphony of destruction and birth; only a dense cacophony could be heard between heaven and earth.

Finally, these sounds merged together, and the sound waves that traveled out transformed into a force that destroyed everything.

Some of the alien gods that were too close panicked and left their lair, while some stupid and foolish evil spirits were pulverized into nothingness before they could even react.

The surrounding area was also affected.

The earth was plowed with deep trenches hundreds of feet deep by sword energy, and mountains were pierced as if made of paper. Amidst the rolling winds and clouds, lightning flashed like waterfalls and sword light was like snow.

The two fought for a full three hours.

While fighting, You Ming frantically inhaled and exhaled to replenish his mana. Everything in this [Mirage World] required mana, and even though his techniques were very good at protracted battles, he couldn't keep up with the consumption at this moment.

Meanwhile, the Azure Sky Divine Sword was also caught up in the excitement of the battle, tumbling, colliding, and crushing each other amidst the rain of swords.

Each strike shattered thousands of flying swords. Each piercing wound left a crack in the sky.

She was incredibly fast; her sword light flowed like starlight against the current, and her killing intent swept across the sky like thunder. She was like the proudest of all the divine swords in the heavens, facing a thousand armies alone.

Both sides were engrossed in the battle and became completely absorbed in it.

You Ming's rain of swords initially showed some deliberate intent, but with the continuous fighting, the murderous aura of each flying sword grew stronger, and the attacks between them became more and more harmonious.

The path of sword cultivation is about pursuing that moment of enlightenment in the blink of an eye.

How can you achieve anything if you don't truly commit to the fight?

After a while, the sword light around the [Azure Sky Divine Sword] receded, and she let out a long howl. The scattered sword energy flew wildly, making the already messy land around her even more unrecognizable.

You Ming then promptly retrieved the flying sword.

In fact, even if he didn't take them away, he wouldn't have many flying swords left. His mana was depleted, and although many nodes in his body continuously generated gushing mana when he activated the [Stabilizing Origin and Dividing Meridians Divine Book], it was difficult to maintain.

"Great, today is the happiest day I've had in years."

The Qingji Divine Sword couldn't stop smiling; it was clear he had a great time.

"Alright, our sword practice ends today. From now on, I'll have to focus on suppressing Yinshan."

She suddenly spoke to You Ming.

Although You Ming wasn't trained to be a sword cultivator, he forged his own path and achieved a level of skill far surpassing that of most sword cultivators, so she naturally had nothing to worry about.

However, her words caught You Ming off guard. He couldn't wait to fight this sword spirit every day, as it would allow him to improve his strength quickly and also bring him daily benefits.

Of course, he also knew that such extraordinary achievements had a time limit and could not really last indefinitely.

"However, when you come to Yinshan in the future, you can also come to me to practice swordsmanship. I can make time to accompany you... but there will be no reward."

The treasures of the Azure Sky Divine Sword didn't come out of thin air. She has consumed a hundred treasures of various types in the last three months, and she can't supply them indefinitely.

Upon hearing this, a smile returned to You Ming's face.

In fact, by the end of his sword practice, he had come to regard the Azure Sky Divine Sword as his friend, and he didn't care about receiving any rewards.

"By the way, you've been spying on my body these past few days. I think you don't need to look at it secretly anymore. I'll just leave you a wisp of my spirit, and you can look at it slowly when you have time."

[Qingji Divine Sword] seemed to have thought of something and continued speaking.

However, the content of her words made You Ming blush with embarrassment.

What do you mean by spying on your body? I was just studying the flow of your sword energy. Why are you making it sound like I'm a pervert?

"The interim rewards for the Adventure Achievement [Sword Shadow Immortal Traces] have been distributed. Do you wish to claim them?"

"Reward [Blade & Soul Fragment] has been claimed."

This should be considered the last reward the Azure Divine Sword gave him. However, You Ming suddenly realized that this reward was still a stage reward, not the final reward.

Could it be... that there's more to this amazing adventure?
