The Return of the Condor Heroes: Starting with a Suicide Note and Conquering All Realms

The divine eagle parted the green vines, revealing the words on the stone wall.

"Since the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai was invincible under heaven, he buried his sword here. Alas! All heroes are helpless, and the long sword is useless; is this not a tragedy!"

Yang Guo read the words on the stone wall aloud. He felt an overwhelming sense of arrogance emanating from it.

Lin Yuan brushed aside the stones below, revealing a long, narrow stone box.

Inside the stone box were three longswords laid side by side. There was also an inscription carved in stone beside them.

Yang Guo looked down. The first sword gleamed with a bluish light, its sharpness fully revealed.

The message reads: "Sharp and fierce, invincible, I used it to compete with the heroes of Hebei before I reached adulthood."

Yang Guo reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword, lifting it up. With a flick of his wrist, he twirled the blade several times. The blade sliced ​​through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

"Brother Lin, this sword is light and sharp." Yang Guo looked at Lin Yuan, "The martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect are light and agile, so this sword is just right for me."

Lin Yuan stood to the side, arms crossed. He looked at the sword in Yang Guo's hand and sneered.

"Do you think this sword is good?" Lin Yuan asked.

Yang Guo nodded.

Lin Yuan stepped forward. He raised his right hand and bent his middle finger.

"Watch closely."

Lin Yuan flicked his middle finger, striking the spine of the Azure Light Sword.

"clang."

A crisp sound echoed beneath the dark stone wall.

The azure-green sword, forged from refined steel, was broken in two. The upper half of the blade clattered to the ground and smashed into the gravel.

Yang Guo stood there, stunned. All he had left in his hand was a sword hilt and half a broken sword.

Lin Yuan withdrew his hand.

"Fancy techniques are nothing but scrap metal in the face of absolute power," Lin Yuan said coldly.

Yang Guo threw away the broken sword. He understood that Lin Yuan was teaching him something.

Lin Yuan pointed to the center of the stone box.

It was a massive, dark sword. It had no sharp edge, and its blade was extremely wide, exuding a sense of ancient and heavy weight.

The message read: "A heavy sword has no edge, great skill appears without artifice. I relied on it to dominate the world before the age of forty."

"Pull this one," Lin Yuan ordered.

Yang Guo walked over. He gripped the sword hilt with one hand and pulled upwards with force.

The sword remained completely still.

Yang Guo frowned. The medicinal effects of the Bodhi King Serpent's gall he had just swallowed were beginning to take hold in his body. An extremely powerful surge of heat was coursing through his meridians.

He took a deep breath. The internal energy of the Nine Yin Manual circulated at full speed.

Yang Guo gripped the sword hilt with both hands. He spread his legs and assumed a horse stance.

"rise!"

Yang Guo roared. The muscles in his arms bulged, and the veins stood out.

The Xuan Tie Heavy Sword was forcibly pulled out of the stone box.

Yang Guo's arms suddenly sank down. The weight of eighty or ninety pounds pressed down on his hands, causing his knees to buckle and nearly bring him to his knees.

He gritted his teeth, straightened his back, and held the heavy sword horizontally in front of him.

Lin Yuan took three steps back.

"Attack!" Lin Yuan ordered.

Yang Guo was panting heavily. He gripped his sword with both hands and moved forward.

He attempted to employ the Quanzhen Sword Technique, combining it with the footwork of the Jade Maiden Sword Technique. He wanted to use the agility of his movements to compensate for the sluggishness of the heavy sword.

The sword moves were delivered, combining feints and real attacks.

Lin Yuan stood still. He did not use the Sovereign Flame, nor did he activate the True Essence of the Great Tang Dimension within his Qi Sea.

He only used the pure physical strength tempered by dragon blood.

Lin Yuan raised his right fist and threw a punch to meet the broad spine of the sword that was crashing down on him.

"Bang!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out.

A terrifying kinetic energy was transmitted along the sword. Yang Guo's tiger's mouth instantly split open, and blood seeped out.

He couldn't even hold the sword. He and the sword flew backward, several feet away, before crashing heavily into the stone wall.

Gravel fell in a soft rustling sound.

Yang Guo slid to the ground. A surge of blood and qi welled up in his chest.

Lin Yuan withdrew his fist.

"What were you doing just now?" Lin Yuan asked.

"The Quanzhen Swordplay," Yang Guo said, propping himself up to sit up. "In conjunction with the Jade Maiden Footwork."

"Idiot." Lin Yuan's voice was cold.

Yang Guo looked up.

Lin Yuan pointed to the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword on the ground.

"Trying to use assassin techniques with a weapon weighing eighty or ninety pounds? You think you're doing embroidery?"

Lin Yuan took two steps closer.

"People in this world who practice martial arts always like to complicate simple things. Someone who can be killed with one sword stroke will insist on performing three sword flourishes. The sword in your hand is meant to shatter their ridiculous rules and techniques."

Lin Yuan looked into Yang Guo's eyes.

"A heavy sword has no edge, and true skill is without artifice. When quality and speed reach their limits, any technique becomes a weakness."

Lin Yuan paused.

"This is called 'Great Strength Makes Bricks Fly.' As long as the sword is heavy enough and you swing it fast enough, when it hits someone, it doesn't matter if it's the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms or the Innate Skill; it'll all be smashed into mincemeat."

Yang Guo lay on the ground, his mind buzzing.

The brick flew with great force.

Quality. Speed.

He recalled the training ground at Dasheng Pass. Lin Yuan crushed the five flying wheels of the Golden Wheel Monk with one hand. Lin Yuan smashed the Serpent King's head with a single punch.

There are no complicated moves. There are no variations. Only pure violence.

Yang Guo suddenly got up.

He grabbed the heavy iron sword from the ground.

This time, he completely abandoned the sword techniques of the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect.

He gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands. He used his waist to generate power, which was then transferred to his arms.

"what!"

Yang Guo shouted. He dragged his heavy sword and charged forward.

There were no feints. There was no change.

There's only the simplest and most brutal "chop".

The heavy iron sword tore through the air with a muffled whistle. The decaying leaves in the valley were whipped up by the strong wind and flew everywhere.

A hint of admiration flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He raised his right fist again to meet the sword's edge.

"Bang!"

Another deafening roar. A blast of air shot into the sky.

This time, Yang Guo didn't fly away. He dug two deep furrows in the mud with his feet, taking the full force of Lin Yuan's punch.

The heavy sword trembled. Yang Guo's arms went numb, but his eyes burned with an unusual fervor.

He got it.

From this day forward, he is no longer the swordsman who relies on agility and skill to move with ease. He is a heavily armored warrior.

One sword can shatter all laws.

"Again!" Lin Yuan shouted.

Yang Guo swung his heavy sword and swept it horizontally.

Lin Yuan reached out and pressed down on the spine of the sword.

Yang Guo felt the heavy sword suddenly sink. He changed his move accordingly, flicking the hilt upwards and smashing the blade upwards.

Lin Yuan dodged to the side and kicked the sword.

Yang Guo retreated five steps to regain his balance.

"He has enough strength, but he's too slow," Lin Yuan commented.

Yang Guo gritted his teeth and charged forward again.

Beneath the dim stone wall, light dappled. The dull whistling sound of the greatsword tearing through the air mingled with the metallic clang of Lin Yuan's fists colliding.

The shaking sent a shower of decaying leaves flying everywhere.

It is full of an unadorned, raw, violent beauty.

Xiaolongnu stood quietly to the side, watching. She noticed that Yang Guo's demeanor had changed. The former Yang Guo was quick-witted and resourceful, exuding a wicked air. The current Yang Guo, wielding a heavy sword, radiated an unshakeable composure.

Ouyang Feng squatted on the ground, scratching his head and cheeks. He watched Yang Guo swing his sword, mimicking the gestures with his hands, muttering, "Smash...smash that old beggar to death..."

Yang Guo became increasingly adept at fighting. The medicinal power of the snake gall was continuously stimulated, permeating his limbs and bones.

He swung the heavy sword faster and faster.

Finally, he swung his sword down, forcing Lin Yuan to take a half-step back.

Yang Guo stopped what he was doing, leaning on his heavy sword with both hands, panting heavily. His clothes were soaked with sweat.

Lin Yuan looked at his right hand. There was a white mark at the knuckle.

"It's alright." Lin Yuan put his hand down.

Yang Guo grinned. Making Lin Yuan retreat half a step was even more exciting for him than defeating the Golden Wheel Monk.

Lin Yuan turned around and walked out of the valley.

"Take your sword and follow."

Yang Guo picked up his heavy sword and followed behind Lin Yuan. Little Dragon Girl and Ouyang Feng followed as well. The Condor Heroes brought up the rear.

As we emerged from the canyon, the sound of rushing water was deafening.

A massive waterfall plunges down a cliff hundreds of feet high, spraying water everywhere. The pool below is bottomless.

Lin Yuan stopped by the pool.

"This is just a warm-up," Lin Yuan said, pointing to the waterfall.

Yang Guo looked at the stream of water that was hitting people and causing them great pain.

"Go into the water," Lin Yuan ordered.

Without hesitation, Yang Guo leaped into the pool with his heavy sword and swam towards the bottom of the waterfall.

A massive torrent of water crashed down on Yang Guo, nearly knocking him underwater. He struggled to maintain his balance, standing on a hidden reef, letting the waterfall wash over him.

Lin Yuan stood on the shore, looking at Yang Guo in the water.

Yang Guo stood on the reef, raising his heavy sword. The force of the current far exceeded his expectations.

He swung his sword at the water. The heavy sword faced tremendous resistance in the water.

The moment the sword touched the water's surface, it was swept away by the current. Yang Guo slipped and fell into the pool.

He surfaced and wiped the water off his face.

Lin Yuan stood on the shore, expressionless.

Yang Guo gritted his teeth and climbed onto the reef again.

He circulated the Nine Yin Manual. He closed his eyes and sensed the direction of the water flow.

He swung his sword again.

Once, twice, ten times.

Yang Guo's arms ached terribly, and the wounds on his hands and feet had turned white from being soaked in water.

But he didn't stop.

The medicinal power of the snake gall was completely extracted under extreme consumption and integrated into his bones and blood.

His muscles became more defined, and his sword-wielding movements became increasingly concise.

Lin Yuan looked at Yang Guo and nodded to himself.

This kid's comprehension and ruthlessness are truly top-notch.

Little Dragon Girl walked to Lin Yuan's side.

"He will get hurt," Little Dragon Girl's cool voice rang out.

"It's better to be injured than to die out there." Lin Yuan didn't turn his head.

"After the Great Victory Pass, the whole world will regard you as enemies. If he doesn't become stronger quickly, he won't even have the right to protect you," Lin Yuan said bluntly.

Little Dragon Girl remained silent. She watched the figure falling and getting up repeatedly beneath the waterfall, a strange emotion flickering in her eyes.

The roar of the waterfall drowned out everything.

Lin Yuan looked at Yang Guo in the water, and his voice penetrated the water and clearly reached Yang Guo's ears.

"When will I be able to cleave the waterfall in two with a single sword strike? When will I be able to leave the valley?"
