The crackling sound became louder and louder, continuous.
As far as the eye could see, the swaying bamboo exploded one after another with a loud bang, turning into pieces that drifted away with the wind.
"This …"
The Imperial Preceptor's impression of this scene was too deep. Every time he successfully comprehended a sword technique, there would be a corresponding bamboo that would explode. If he was lucky enough, there would be a treasure sword hidden in the bamboo. From then on, the treasure sword would belong to the person who comprehended the sword technique.
Every time the sword technique was comprehended to a higher level, there would be more bamboo that would explode.
That year, after the Imperial Preceptor had succeeded in comprehending the sword technique, eighteen bamboo had exploded at the same time. It was a spectacular sight.
After Junko had comprehended the sword technique, only one bamboo had exploded. This meant that her sword technique was still worlds apart from the Imperial Preceptor's.
At this moment, the Imperial Preceptor looked at the exploding bamboo, which had already exceeded eighteen.
Could it be that Tang Zheng's sword technique was so powerful that it was even more than the number of bamboo that he had exploded back then?
Then what kind of sword technique would this be?
Immediately, he was anxious and angry in his heart. Without any grace, he roared, "Stop, quickly stop!"
How could Tang Zheng care about him? His emotions fluctuated as he could clearly feel that the exploded bamboo had turned into strands of Sword Qi. The Sword Qi crazily poured into the War Soul Sword and then transmitted into his eight extraordinary meridians. In an instant, he was like a huge pool that was flooded with a large amount of water.
These Sword Qi quickly transformed into true qi and stored in his body. The true qi rapidly soared.
At the same time, most of the Sword Qi was absorbed by the War Soul Sword. The light on the War Soul Sword became more and more intense, and the dark appearance of the War Soul Sword began to change bit by bit.
The veins on the Imperial Preceptor's forehead bulged as he roared, "Tang Zheng, I will kill you!"
His hands quickly formed a seal, and a hand seal rose into the air and circled above his head.
Previously, when he used the sword technique, he did not need to form a seal at all. This was because his cultivation had already reached a certain level, and ordinary sword techniques could be used with just a thought.
But this time, he actually formed a seal, which meant that this move was definitely not simple.
The handprint quickly circled above his head. He gripped the broken sword with both hands and slashed forward while roaring, "Thousand Killing Slash!"
The broken sword flew out of his hand, and the handprint above his head also flew out like a meteor and merged with the broken sword. In an instant, the broken sword underwent an earth-shattering change. The broken part of the sword actually grew out again, forming a complete sword.
Li Xiaotian was dumbstruck by the rebirth of the broken sword.
However, Tang Zheng remained unmoved like a boulder as he shouted, "Explode!"
Pa! Pa!
All the bamboos in the forest exploded, turning into strands of sword energy. Beams of light also rose from some of the bamboos. Clearly, there were swords hidden in these bamboos. It was as if Junko had obtained them.
These swords shone brightly, but they were like meteors that streaked across the sky, exploding with a loud bang, turning into specks of light. Along with the overflowing sword Qi, they all rushed into the War Soul Sword. A portion of them was absorbed by Tang Zheng's body and transformed into true qi.
The Imperial Advisor's Thousand Killing Slash had already arrived in front of Tang Zheng. The powerful sword Qi cut open wounds on his body, and in the next moment, it seemed like it was going to reap his life.
"Break!"
Just at this moment, Tang Zheng's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, as if they were glowing. He opened his mouth and roared, "Heaven Flying Immortal!"
Tang Zheng had finally mastered the sixth move of the Heaven Flying Immortal Sword Technique.
Swish!
The War Soul Sword flew out from his hand and turned into a bolt of lightning, striking the broken sword.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the newly grown part of the broken sword broke with a loud bang.
Puff!
The Imperial Advisor spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground with one knee, looking at the scene in front of him in shock.
"How could this be? The Thousand Killing Slash is still not his match, how is this possible? "
He muttered to himself, as if he had been possessed.
But in the next second, his pupils widened even more, because the War Soul Sword did not stop. Instead, it flew towards him like a hot knife through butter.
He flipped backwards in the air and dodged the attack. The War Soul Sword brushed past his scalp as it flew past.
Before he could even catch his breath, the War Soul Sword changed its direction in mid-air and stabbed towards his back.
At such a long distance, Tang Zheng was actually able to change his direction through the air. He suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Imperial Sword Technique, you actually learned the Imperial Sword Technique!"
This was the technique that the Imperial Advisor yearned for even in his dreams, but the Ninjutsu did not include the Imperial Sword Technique. He had only heard of it from his seniors, and once he cultivated the Imperial Sword Technique, he would be like a god, taking a person's head from a thousand miles away.
He never thought that Tang Zheng would actually know such a technique at such a young age.
Tang Zheng had long since cultivated the Imperial Sword Technique, but, the Imperial Sword Technique consumed a lot of the caster's Innate Qi, unless he really found a flying sword.
Flying swords were different from ordinary magic treasures. Only with special materials could they be forged into flying swords.
Although the War Soul Sword was already a Heaven level magic treasure, it was still not a flying sword, which was why Tang Zheng did not often use the Imperial Sword Technique, but now that he had finally comprehended the sixth move of the Flying Immortals from Heaven, everything had changed.
Flying Immortals from Heaven, as the name suggested, were like immortals flying from the heavens.
This immortal was the sword, and the sword in his hand turned into an immortal. It was like an arm, and wherever he pointed, it would be there. It was perfectly compatible with the essence of the Imperial Sword Technique, merging the two into one.
Tang Zheng was able to control the sword so smoothly through the air.
The Imperial Advisor was extremely regretful. He did not investigate clearly, causing his efforts to be in vain and his losses to be huge.
Seeing the War Soul Sword carrying a berserk aura attack him once again, the Imperial Advisor was unarmed and did not fight back. With a thought, he disappeared without a trace.
Boom!
The War Soul Sword slashed onto the ground, causing mud to fly up.
"Escape Technique!"
Tang Zheng was awe-inspiring. The Imperial Advisor had an escape technique, so even if he had comprehended the sixth move of the Flying Immortals from Heaven, it would still be useless.
"He definitely won't be willing to escape like this. He must be hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity." With regards to the Imperial Advisor's sinister methods, Tang Zheng still remembered them clearly. He immediately came in front of Wu Mian, afraid that the Imperial Advisor would take her hostage again.
Martial was in a daze, his entire body twitching, his eyes rolled back, as if he could lose his life at any moment.
"What should we do?" He was already certain that his Innate Qi would only stimulate the Gu, allowing it to take Martial's life even faster, so he did not dare to act rashly.
"Martial, I will always be by your side. You must persevere. I will definitely find a way to save you." Tang Zheng whispered into Martial's ear, not knowing if she could hear him.
Li Xiaotian did not have the mood to care about Martial's life and death. She was looking around in surprise and shouted: "The Sword Forest has disappeared!"
The Sword Forest had indeed disappeared. The originally lush green bamboo had disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a vast and empty wasteland.
The village not far away also entered her eyes, but the dense white fog in the distance caused her heart to instantly fall to the bottom.
Although they had escaped the shackles of the Sword Forest, they were still trapped in the Imperial Advisor's Mansion. The thick fog outside was still an insurmountable barrier.
"Let's leave this place quickly." Li Xiaotian urged.
Tang Zheng swept his eyebrows, causing Li Xiaotian's heart to tighten, he had the urge to retreat, and exclaimed: "Your cultivation …"
Tang Zheng coldly snorted, but did not reply. Just now, when the Sword Qi entered his body, it caused his Innate Qi to soar, breaking through to the ninth level of Inedia in one fell swoop.
From the seventh level of Inedia to the ninth level of Inedia, two levels of cultivation had broken through like a hot knife through butter.
This was only a portion of the Sword Qi. The majority of the Sword Qi had been absorbed by the War Soul Sword's sword spirit.
One could imagine how powerful the Sword Qi contained within the Sword Forest was. It was simply a treasure trove. No wonder the Imperial Advisor's Mansion regarded it as an important place.
It was a pity that the Imperial Advisor did not know how powerful the Heaven Flying Immortals Sword Technique that Tang Zheng cultivated was, nor did he know that the War Soul Sword contained a sword spirit.
Therefore, Tang Zheng was able to take advantage of such a great opportunity and absorb all the Sword Qi in the Sword Forest.
Without the nourishment of the Sword Qi, the treasured swords that were originally buried in the soil also disappeared, turning into strands of Sword Qi that merged into the War Soul Sword.
At this moment, the War Soul Sword had already undergone quite a few changes. The originally dark sword body had mottled bright spots, like a dusty pearl that had finally revealed the tip of an iceberg.
Li Xiaotian recalled the frightening situation just now, especially the last few sword strikes of Tang Zheng, forcing the Imperial Advisor to flee in a sorry state. She couldn't help but feel intoxicated.
At the same time, she also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The gap between her and Tang Zheng was growing larger and larger. It was as if there was a chasm that was difficult to cross.
She could not guess what level Tang Zheng's cultivation had reached. Seeing how meticulous he was with Wu, she could not help but think that it would be great if he was in Wu's position.
Tang Zheng carried Wu Cang by the waist and said solemnly: "Let's go!"
Together, they walked out of the Sword Forest. The messy Sword Forest was especially eye-catching in this quiet village.
When they walked out of the Sword Forest, a black mass of people surrounded them from all directions.
"Where did these people come from?"
Li Xiaotian sighed and explained: "There are a lot of people in the Imperial Advisor's Mansion, so they must have received the orders of the Imperial Advisor to hide and not come out. Now that you have destroyed their Sword Forest, of course they will rush out and fight you to the death."
"Fight to the death? "Hmph, I think it's more like courting death." Tang Zheng was not afraid at all.
His cultivation had increased by two levels. In addition, after comprehending the Heaven Flying Immortals Sword Technique, his confidence had increased greatly. The War Soul Sword in his hand let out a buzzing sword cry, trembling non-stop, as if it had the urge to drink blood.
Li Xiaotian was not optimistic, and said: "Ants swallow an elephant, the strength of an individual is limited, although their strength is not as good as yours, but they can't withstand the number of people, the human wave tactic will also drag you to death."
Tang Zheng could not help but remember the situation in the Imperial Palace, and said disdainfully: "Island nation all like human wave tactics? Since that's the case, then let's fight! You hold her, if she suffers any more injuries, I will hold you accountable. "
As he spoke, he handed Wu Wu over to Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian looked at Wu who was in his embrace at a loss, thinking, "Why is this my responsibility again?"
