The moment Mu Shoushan said that, there was a moment of silence outside. After a hundred minutes, there was a loud rumble and the sky suddenly lit up.
He couldn't help but be surprised and walked out of the pagoda.
He looked over and saw that the sky above the small world seemed to have been torn open. Rays of sword light flew in from outside. There were tens of thousands of them and they shone brightly. They seemed to have formed a vast starry river that shone brightly within thousands of miles.
Just Now, it was just a sword intent that came to ask questions. Zhang Yan's real body was still far away in the Floating Heavenly Palace's Du Zhen Hall.
After a while, all the lights retracted and a black-robed Daoist walked over and bowed, "Thank you for waiting, Perfected Mu."
Mu Shoushan looked at the person with a burning gaze and said, "Hall Master Du Zhen, the sword technique that you practice, is it the Shaoqing Sword Transformation?"
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded, "Because I have some experience in the Flying Sword Technique, I received permission from the Sect Master to go to Shaoqing to learn the sword. Under the guidance of the Shaoqing Mountain Sect Master, I have indeed benefited a lot."
Mu Shoushan said thoughtfully, "So there's such an inside story."
When Zhang Yan displayed the Killing True Sword, he guessed that he might have obtained the legacy of a certain Daoist Grotto-Heaven from Shaoqing Sect. However, he didn't expect that the truth was that he had obtained the Shaoqing True Sword Technique.
He concluded that because Zhang Yan's cultivation technique was different, he was unable to cultivate the various transformations of the Shaoqing Sword Technique. However, in terms of attainments in using the flying sword, other than the Daoist Grotto-Heaven from Shaoqing Sect, no one in the same generation could compare to him.
If that was the case, it would actually be easy to deal with him. The key was that other than the flying sword, Zhang Yan also had deep mana. Even if he were to face an enemy head-on, he wouldn't be afraid of anyone in the same generation.
He had already realized it. This was the first opponent that he had seen in his life. He couldn't help but think of He Jingchen and Zhuo Yuming. He sighed, "Hall Master Du Zhen, every generation is filled with outstanding talents. Let me experience the ability of this generation's Hall Master."
Zhang Yan looked around and said, "This is the place where the Enlightened Being cultivates. Why don't we change to another place?"
When Mu Shoushan heard this, he looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, Hall Master Du Zhen, please come with me."
At that moment, a clear light appeared. Flying into the distance, Zhang Yan's figure flashed, and he became one with the sword light, turning into a rainbow as well.
After traveling for several hours, the two of them arrived at a desert. Aside from the boundless land, there were no mountains or ridges in the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers. It was as if the two of them were the only ones left in the world.
Mu Shoushan asked, "How about this place?"
Zhang Yan looked around and said, "This is indeed a good place to fight."
Mu Shoushan said, "Go ahead, Hall Master Du Zhen. Since he was defeated by you, I'll be the first to experience his brilliance. "
Zhang Yan nodded and apologized. He stood on the spot and didn't move. With a command of his Spiritual Intent, a sword light pierced through the air and slashed over.
Since he said that he would go all out with his opponent, then with the Killing True Sword in hand, he naturally had to fully utilize his advantage.
However, this person's temperament was completely different from the previous one. They should be viewed as two different people, since they didn't understand each other. Then, he could only test the waters first.
Mu Shoushan looked at the sword light coming over, but he didn't dodge. He took out a handful of sand and scattered it outwards. A beautiful glow floated around his body.
The sword light instantly flew over and slashed above him. However, it was as if it had hit metal, giving off a grinding sound. It was extremely ear-piercing. The sand continued to spin, and after using up half of it, it forcefully blocked the sword light.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan wasn't in a rush to attack. Instead, he asked with interest, "Enlightened Being Mu. I wonder what this is? "
Mu Shoushan didn't hide anything and told him directly, "This item is called 'Dust Twisting Sand'. Before my master conquered North Underworld, he gathered hundreds of Astral Heroes from beyond the heavens and refined them with twelve special medicines. He was prepared to use it against Shaoqing Sect's Killing True Sword. However, he didn't use it, so he gave it to his disciples. I got some of it then. "
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, "Oh, did the sect have any intention of going against Shaoqing?"
Mu Shoushan shook his head, "Although we didn't, we had to be prepared."
When he joined the sect, the Yincang Sect was at its peak. Its prestige was great and it was like the sun in the sky. In the whole world, only the Jade Cloud Sect and Shaoqing Sect of the same generation could be a match for it.
At that time, almost all the Enlightened Masters in the sect had thought about how they should deal with the cultivators of these two sects.
On the other hand, the Shaoqing True Sword of Slaughter was extremely sharp, so it was especially valued. Thus, many people in the Dark Azure Sect had created many formidable methods to deal with it, and this' Dust Grinder 'was only one of them.
Zhang Yan nodded in agreement, "That's right."
Before the Yue Cang Sect attacked the North Underworld, they had almost come out in full force. At that time, their relationship with Shaoqing was only normal. Even though this sect would not attack people for no reason, there was always the slightest chance. It was never too much to be prepared.
Mu Shoushan said, "After my master created this Dust Twisting Sand, he didn't have a suitable opponent, so he didn't test it. However …"
Mu Shoushan looked at him, "This time, I can fulfill my master's wish on behalf of my master."
Ever since the establishment of the Shaoqing and Xuancang sects, they had never truly fought each other. In order to avoid damaging their vitality, it was even more impossible for the people of the Heaven's Abode to take the initiative to challenge each other. Yan Changsheng was good friends with an elder of the Shaoqing sect, but no one knew if they had sparred. At the very least, they had never mentioned it to their fellow disciples.
Zhang Yan said happily, "I'm very willing to try your methods."
He was very happy to see the various methods that could restrain the murderous swords. This was also quite beneficial to him. In the future, if he were to encounter a similar method during the great calamity, he would be able to have a good idea of what was going on. At the very least, he wouldn't be unable to counter it.
He waved his hand forward. This time, it wasn't a single sword light, but hundreds of sword lights.
Mu Shoushan waved his sleeves and sent out a large cloud of flying sand. Under the control of his Dharmic powers, the sand circled a thousand feet around him. The sword lights that came were all wrapped up by the sand. However, the number of sword lights was decreasing at a visible rate.
Zhang Yan immediately determined that this could block the flying swords temporarily, but it was at the cost of using up a large amount of the treasure sand. Once it was used up, it would be difficult to block. However, he didn't believe that Mu Shoushan only had this method. If not, he wouldn't have stood in front of him. Thus, he flicked his finger and shot dozens of lightning lights.
Mu Shoushan flicked his sleeve. Similarly, he shot dozens of lightning lights. When the two sides collided in mid-air, there was a series of explosions.
At the same time, he quickly made a gesture, and a cloud of white smoke appeared on his body. It soared into the sky, and with just a turn, it absorbed all the sword lights. Then, it flew back again. Then, it flew back and disappeared, as if it had entered another world.
This technique was created by Yi Sanshan, the previous Grotto-heaven Zhenren. It was called "Smoke and Cloud Separation." Not only could it counter the flying swords, but it could also temporarily seal the magical treasures within the smoke, preventing them from being used by the sword owner.
However, this technique required a rare spiritual medicine as a catalyst. He had some in his Grotto-heaven Zhenren. He only took them out after he released the Grotto-heaven Zhenren.
Because there were very few of them. Even though he had an endless amount of spiritual power, he couldn't unleash it all.
However, every technique had its strengths and weaknesses. Because Zhang Yan was using Sword Transformation, he didn't pursue killing power. That was why he was able to block it so easily. If the Killing Sword was here, it would be able to pierce through in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yan sensed that the connection between him and the sword lights had become faint. It was as if they were extremely far away from him. He couldn't help but be shocked.
He thought about it again. He said, "This feeling is like entering a small world. It's using the profundities of teleportation to temporarily trap them within. However, it can trap a hundred of them, but it might not be able to trap a thousand or ten thousand of them."
Thus, he focused his Divine Will and controlled more flying swords to attack. At once, thousands of light beams shot out.
Mu Shoushan frowned. Indeed, it was just as Zhang Yan had guessed. He could stop over a hundred sword lights at this moment, but he was powerless against such a large number of sword lights.
It wasn't that this technique was too weak. It was just that he wasn't familiar with it. He hadn't cultivated it to a high level.
He reached out and pressed forward. The smoke pillar beside him slowly spread outwards. On the other hand, he tossed out a feather. With a light touch, he tossed it out.
After the feather reached the sky, it quickly flew far away. Every time it flew a certain distance, it would split into a feather. In just a few breaths, there were hundreds of them and they flew outwards.
Zhang Yan noticed it too. He casually sent out a few lightning arcs to test it. Unexpectedly, all of the lightning streaks passed through the feathers as if they were merely illusions. He pondered for a moment, but was unable to determine what they were. However, they were not a threat to him, so he decided to ignore them for now.
The pillar of smoke outside Mount Mu Shou finally reached its limit under the impact of the thousands of sword lights. With a loud bang, it collapsed into countless wisps of smoke. The sword lights inside were freed from their shackles and were carried by the rainbow lights outside. They all charged toward the figure in the middle.
Mu Shoushan's expression didn't change. He took out an incense burner and held it with one hand. With a shake of his hand, he lifted the lid of the incense burner. He shook it gently and streaks of bright light flew out from the incense burner. They flew around and around, accompanied by a sharp whistle. In an instant, they covered a few miles around him.
This was called the 'Profound Mystic Magnetic Dipper', and it could be attached to a flying sword, causing it to become heavy and difficult to control. If it wasn't expelled as soon as possible, it would lose its spirituality. He had wandered around the outside world for more than ten years before going to the underground to collect it. Originally, he was prepared to have a method to defend himself in case he encountered a sword cultivator. However, he didn't have the chance to use it until he was captured. He didn't expect to take it out today.
However, this item had yet to be tested. He wasn't sure if it would be able to defend against the True Killing Sword. Fortunately, he had set up an escape route Just Now. Even if he couldn't win, he could still escape.
The sword light in the sky arrived in an instant. However, when it slashed into the magnetic field, there was a moment of delay. As it went deeper in, as more and more of the magnetic field touched the sword light, it also became heavier, as if it had entered a swamp.
Zhang Yan looked down and found it somewhat familiar. He thought to himself, "This is somewhat similar to the 'Bipolar Star Magnet Ray' I've seen in the past. They might be of the same origin. However, it is enough to deal with ordinary flying swords. This sword of mine has already become profound, and it is impossible to block it."
With a command of his Divine Will, all the sword lights suddenly trembled and turned, shaking away all the magnetic rays. It was as if there were thousands of fish leaping out of the water at the same time, stirring up countless waves and ripples. The magnetic rays also collapsed under the sword lights' slashes.
Mu Shoushan saw this and didn't show any disappointment. Instead, he became spirited and thought to himself, "It looks like this magnetic shield can be a hindrance and isn't useless. Along with what I did before, I can hold off the flying sword for a while. It looks like I don't need to test it anymore. I can set up a formation and fight it."
He put the incense burner into his sleeve. The magnetic shield had lost its source. After a few breaths, the sword lights were completely destroyed. Then, he turned around and attacked.
At this moment, there was nothing in front of him that could be used as a hindrance.
He raised his head and looked calmly at the sky full of sword lights. He allowed them to attack him, but he didn't dodge.
In the blink of an eye, the first strand of sword light had already arrived in front of him, and it struck his body. However, right at this moment, he suddenly vanished from where he was, and all the sword lights that came after him struck empty air.
At the same time, a feather in midair suddenly disappeared.
Zhang Yan immediately sensed that something was amiss. He could not help but look over and saw Mu Shoushan step out from the void. He could not help but raise his eyebrows. With another thought, the sword light from afar leaped through the air and slashed over.
Strangely, the scene this time was the same as the last time. When the sword light slashed his body, Mu Shoushan disappeared again. At the same time, another feather disappeared in midair. In the next moment, he appeared there and said, "Hall Master Du Zhen, this is a treasure that my teacher gave me. It is called the Wan Xiang Feather. Ever since I got it, I have never used it in front of anyone. Even he hasn't used it. With this treasure, even if you have a weapon, you won't be able to hurt me."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "If that is the case, then Just Now, you don't have to try all the methods to restrain the flying sword. I think there are still flaws."
Mu Shoushan openly admitted, "Hall Master Du Zhen is right, but which Dharma treasure in the world can be perfect and flawless? Doesn't your flying sword have ways to restrain it? It can be seen that the strength of a treasure depends on how the person wielding it uses it. "
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "If that is the case, I shall learn from you."
Mu Shoushan's expression became serious and he said, "That is how it should be."
He took a step back, and then his body swayed. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. A great inspiration appeared in front of him, and two magical images were suddenly released. One of them was a vermillion flame, red light and stars descended, like a blazing feather, scarlet flames surging. The other was a muddy sand dart that flew like hailstones. There was a white gas that connected its head and tail like a needle in the clouds.
The two dharmas split into two sides, one on the left and one on the right. There was a person standing in each of them. The one on the left looked arrogant and it looked unfriendly. The one on the right was calm and gentle as usual.
The two of them said at the same time, "Hall Master Du Zhen, sorry for the offense!"
In the next moment, boundless light surged down!
