Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Cheng Xiao did manage to develop some skill.

Although he cannot unleash sword energy like Yao Feng, his sword moves already carry sword light!

This is a clumsy method, gradually accumulating instinct to master the use of a sword.

However, Cheng Xiao's swordsmanship is extremely accurate.

There were no fancy sword moves.

Cheng Xiao means to swiftly and accurately sever the vital points of wooden enemies.

The blade passed through various gaps with almost no resistance.

At the same time, the damage to the swords themselves is minimized.

How did Cheng Xiao manage to do that?

It is the power of the [Snake] talisman.

A month has passed since the destruction of the Cangcheng Immortal Ship.

Cheng Xiao unexpectedly felt the power of the [Hunter] destiny appear on his body.

It was very faint, but it definitely came from the [Hunter].

He understood that he was fully recognized as a part of the Immortal Ship, so the path of the [Hunting] had opened an entrance for him.

This also allowed the [Snake] to be initially unlocked.

But the ability isn't invisible; it's a complete understanding of the world!

Riding a horse allows one to see the structure of things clearly.

He could see clearly the workings of machines and creatures, every joint, every muscle, and every part!

The only thing Cheng Xiao lacks now is his nerve reaction and speed!

Therefore, I need to train more!

Meanwhile, Jingliu continued practicing his swordsmanship as always.

She is still practicing [the thorn].

Yao Feng has so many things to complain about regarding his two apprentices.

Many people on the warship were paying attention to the apprentice that the swordsman had taken in.

But the two apprentices have such peculiar personalities! And each one is more stubborn than the last!

Jingliu has a very aloof personality, and speaks calmly and indifferently, with almost no fluctuations in his tone.

She'll answer your questions, but she'll never initiate a conversation.

No one thought he was a ten-year-old child.

Perhaps the impact of the destruction of their hometown was too great.

But she would show a very gentle smile to Cheng Xiao, which is how a young girl should be.

Cheng Xiao actually has a very good temperament.

Yao Feng was very satisfied and at ease with him.

Because Cheng Xiao is just like a responsible adult, he doesn't need anyone to worry about him!

It can even help take care of children: Mirror Flow.

Jingliu was completely devoted to him and couldn't live without him.

Cheng Xiao was very kind, gentle, polite, and courteous.

Just like the older brother next door, he is also very kind-hearted in helping others to dispel the gloom in their hearts.

She's someone else's child!

Oh wait, no, it's our own child now. (Yaofeng: Proud~)

But his demeanor is very mature and serious. (Jackie Chan: I taught him!)

He doesn't look like a twelve-year-old at all.

If it weren't for his youthful appearance and underdeveloped height, one would think he was a little adult!

This is why Yaofeng did not experience the joy and childlike innocence that his two apprentices should have at their age.

This is actually very unfriendly to spiritual growth.

This world is indeed cruel.

You never know if the sun will rise tomorrow.

Even stars can be extinguished and destroyed by such terrifying beings!

Not to mention the gods above them!

But that's precisely why we should cherish the present moment!

You should do things appropriate for your age!

No matter what you're carrying, now is not the time for you to give it back.

There are always bigger and stronger mountains above you to support you first.

If even they can't handle it, then your still-developing little hills will be of no use at all.

Looking at the two little ones who were always practicing swordsmanship or training, Yao Feng felt that he really should take them back to Luofu to live a peaceful life.

However, this idea was short-lived, as a piercing alarm sounded throughout the warship!

War has broken out!

The logistics personnel continuously transported supplies, and the Cloud Cavalry troops were also assembling at various points on the warship.

Cheng Xiao and Jing Liu were among them.

Yao Feng stood on the high platform and announced the intelligence:

"Fellow Cloud Riders! The planet [Akar], which the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship is currently negotiating with, has been invaded by beast ships of the Bu Li people!"

"We happen to be one of the nearby warships, and we are hereby dispatched to provide immediate support! We beg for the clouds to clear the sky and to dispel the plague!"

The Yunqi soldiers below the stage shouted in unison:

"The celestial vessel soars high! The cloud riders are ever victorious!"

The high morale of the troops inspired everyone who wanted to protect them.

Jingliu's heart was also filled with excitement.

There was tension, excitement, and anticipation.

She hasn't had time to learn more swordsmanship, so she still lacks a bit of confidence.

Her sword wasn't bold enough.

Yao Feng was not surprised that Jing Liu possessed a sword heart.

However, the swordsmanship of the Mirror School is not an invincible heart, and an invincible sword cannot be defeated.

Otherwise, at best, one's sword spirit will be shattered, preventing further progress; at worst, the sword will be destroyed and one will die.

The swordsmanship of the Mirror Style is simple, even frighteningly simple.

There is only one word: 【斩】 (zhǎn).

A single, swift sword strike—when the time is right, it strikes!

Therefore, Jingliu's talent is truly terrifying, which makes Yaofeng, as his master, very satisfied.

Yao Feng looked at Cheng Xiao, who was encouraging Jing Liu. This kid must be Jing Liu's sword sheath!

She couldn't help but feel a mix of envy and relief.

A sword that is just beginning to show its edge is not scary.

They might even hurt themselves because they are too sharp.

But if there is a scabbard that can conceal its sharpness, then the sword can safely keep its brilliance hidden.

A hundred years to nurture a sword, just for a single, fleeting slash of frost!

Having considered this, the warship has already switched to maximum power sailing mode.

......

On the planet Akar.

Living, flesh-and-blood beast ships hovered in the sky.

There were also a large number of foot soldiers and lackeys on the ground.

At this moment, the immortal warship hovering above the planet was not just Cheng Xiao and his companions.

Cloud cavalry have been arriving at the battlefield in vehicles one after another.

At this moment, Kagami Ryu was also equipping himself with armor.

In addition to the sword in her hand, six acupoints on her back are also connected to the control of six flying swords.

Through this acupoint sensing, Jingliu felt as if he had gained six flying arms!

"Aren't you coming with me?!" Kagami asked.

"My abilities are better suited for preserving the Cloud Cavalry's strength! But don't worry! I'll always be with you on your path to victory!"

"Then you must stay close to me!"

"rest assured!"

Kagami took a deep breath and jumped off the vehicle carrying the soldiers.

Her second lesson with the sword was learned on the battlefield!

She was taught by those enemies she so deeply hated!

Everywhere you look, there are war beasts and blood-eyed yazi.

One, two... there are already ten!

Three of them pounced on Jingliu, who had just regained his footing!

【Thrust】has become an instinct of the young swordswoman, and it is simple and clear.

However, the agile wolf beast would not willingly face the sword tip and allow itself to be killed by the Mirror Stream.

Therefore, Kagami learned the [Slash] technique.

With a single horizontal slash, he beheaded the Blood-Eyed Yazi right in front of him, his movements as focused as if he were practicing swordsmanship.

She killed the enemy! With her own sword!

Without feeling unwell or nauseous, Jingliu was someone who had escaped from hell and had already witnessed death.

The remaining two blood-eyed yazi tried to leap and dodge, creating distance between themselves and Mirror Flow.

Therefore, Kagami learned the [Entanglement] technique.

Her sword is extremely difficult to dodge! It's aimed directly at your body, and there's no way to get away.

Ya Zi tried to retreat and escape, but found that he couldn't increase the distance between himself and the sword at all.

All they found was that the world had turned upside down, and their heads had already fallen to the ground.

When the powerful war beast slammed into Jingliu, she had no choice but to dodge.

But then, Jingliu used the [Unload] skill he had learned before.

Use the blade to deflect the force, then slash the enemy's waist and abdomen with a backhand!

Jingliu wasn't in a hurry to kill it; she was gradually using the enemy's characteristics to hone her swordsmanship!

Cheng Xiao, holding a long sword, followed Jing Liu along the way as he fought his way through the enemy lines.

He treated the less seriously injured Cloud Riders, enabling them to return to the battle.

They also treated the soldiers with more serious wounds and sent them to organize the protection of the surviving civilians.

These people are short-lived and do not have the physical qualities of the Celestial Boat people.

Cheng Xiao witnessed Jing Liu's growth and felt happy and excited.

As for Kagami Ryu himself, he felt that he had already achieved a complete understanding of swordsmanship!
