PS: Second Update
Shen Baishuang stood on the cloud, staring at the battle below with a smile on his face. The fishing rod on his shoulder swayed gently, as if he was sitting on the shore waiting for the fish to swim over. His behavior and expression were very comfortable.
Zhang Yan had experienced many battles of life and death since he started his cultivation. It wasn't like he had never encountered a cultivator of the third grade of Yuanying. His experience in fighting enemies was unparalleled among his peers.
He was very clear that when fighting with an enemy, he had to control the situation and not let the opponent dominate. Otherwise, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
As for the sword current, he didn't know the details of it. With a rough look, he only knew that there seemed to be a method of splitting and combining. Although it wasn't fast, it wouldn't be appropriate if he continued to resist it.
He had two choices at the moment. One was to find a way to turn around and retreat. After looking for a flaw, he could then defeat the enemy. The other was to ignore what was in front of him and attack the enemy to force the enemy to stop and regain the initiative.
However, just as he wanted to make a move, a warning came from the depths of his heart, reminding him that he couldn't do that. Otherwise, he would definitely lose this battle. With a change of thought, he stopped moving.
But with this delay, the sword current got closer. At this moment, it had already split into 32 and was only a hundred feet away from him. It was as if it could reach him in the next moment.
Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed as he pondered. It was impossible for the sword current to split endlessly. Otherwise, who in the world would be able to stop it?
And since Shen Baishuang said it was a sword test, there must be a flaw in it. It was just a matter of whether he could catch it or not.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, he made up his mind. Not only did he not dodge, he shook the sword pill and wanted to transform all 64 sword gleams to disperse the sword current.
But just as he was communicating with the sword pill, he suddenly felt a mysterious reaction. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something. A sharp light shone in his eyes and he let out a clear whistle. One of the sword gleams moved inexplicably and countless fine sword gleams flew out. They shot out and hit the sword current. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Shen Baishuang's expression was leisurely, but seeing this scene, the fishing rod on his shoulder suddenly stopped, a look of surprise appearing on his face.
Zhang Yan's spirit was greatly boosted by the success of one sword strike. He hurriedly controlled the sword light and rushed toward the next sword current.
This time, he did the same thing as last time. With a twist, he destroyed another stream of sword. At this time, he had already found a clue. He was no longer in a stalemate on the ground. Instead, he rode on his sword and flew away. Then, he repeated the move Just Now.
Under his continuous attacks, it only took a few breaths. Then, he killed the rest of the sword currents one by one.
The last streak of sword flow finally dissipated when it was less than three feet away from him, no longer existing.
Shen Baishuang obviously didn't expect the ending to come so soon. He waved his sleeve and gathered the remaining water vapor in the sky back into his hand. He sighed and said, "I'm still lacking a little. I haven't refined it completely."
This sword was called the "Rebirth Cloud Water Sword". The beauty of this magic weapon was that if a stream of sword energy couldn't be destroyed in one go, it would split again and again. The more it grew, the more it would grow. In the end, there would be tens of thousands of them. When the opponent couldn't block it anymore, they could only die under the sword.
To deal with this sword, one could only be ruthless when the stream of sword energy was sparse, even if it had to pay a price. Otherwise, once the momentum was formed, it would be unstoppable.
Shen Baishuang had a look of praise in his eyes. Zhang Yan had only blocked a few moves and he had already noticed the trick. Not only that, he was also so decisive in his attacks, which really made him admire him.
However, he hadn't actually refined this sword yet. The minute changes were still not enough. If he refined it to the point where it was as small as dust, then it wouldn't be a match for a mere dozen of sword lights.
It was rare for Zhang Yan to meet such an opponent. He was also excited to see it. Moreover, he had comprehended a new method and wanted to try it out. How could he miss such an opportunity? He raised the sword light and slashed over.
Just Now, he was keenly aware that this Shen Baishuang seemed to have some scruples and didn't want to hurt him. Therefore, he was at ease and boldly attacked.
Shen Baishuang saw that Zhang Yan didn't stop after winning a round. Instead, he counterattacked. He was also startled. Then, he revealed a look of interest and said with a smile, "I came here today because I heard that there is a junior in the sect with extraordinary swordsmanship. He can be called a Sword Celestial. I wanted to see what kind of person he is, but I didn't expect him to give me such a surprise. Since Martial Nephew is interested, then as your Martial Uncle, I will accompany you to practice."
He shook his shoulders, and the Stellar Qi around him suddenly split into two. One soared into the sky and turned into a clear Qi that rushed into the blue sky, merging with the clouds in the sky. The other flew down and landed in the Great Swamp. In an instant, a torrential wave rose up.
The clear and turbid Qi covered the sky and earth. In an instant, Zhang Yan felt the spiritual Qi around him stagnated, as if he was covered by a layer of shackles. He looked over in surprise. This person had actually cast a spell to seal the heaven and earth in an instant!
In his memory, no matter if it was Shen Lintu from the Chong Yue True Temple or Dragon Carp Ruiren, they had both used this method, but none of them could use it so easily like Shen Baishuang.
Shen Baishuang didn't stop. He flipped his wrist and threw down the ball of water in his palm. He still released the Cloud Water Sword.
But when he attacked this time, it wasn't like before. As soon as this object descended, it instantly transformed into countless crystalline flying pearls that scattered in the air, and with a push of his magic power, there were thousands of sword streams that soared through the sky. When he looked over, they were gathered like a forest, dense like a rain of stars, and practically covered his field of vision.
Zhang Yan was fearless. Just Now, he was still a little cautious when dealing with the Cloud Water Sword. Now that he had found a way to deal with it, he was much more at ease. The sword lights exploded one after another, like the scorching sun shining on the snow, constantly melting away the sword lights.
Even though he was trapped in this part of the world, he relied on the Minor Universe Teleportation to move about. Even though the thousands of water swords were extremely numerous, they weren't able to stop him. Moreover, every single strike of his sword would slash through a water sword, and as the water swords gradually decreased, he became more and more free and unrestrained.
Shen Baishuang could also see that the method seemed to be newly comprehended by Zhang Yan. Seeing that he had mastered it in just a short while, even with his shrewdness, there was a hint of a slightly complicated look in his eyes.
He shook his head. At this point, if he didn't insist on a life and death outcome, he could have already stopped. So he stretched out a finger and pointed, completely dispersing the sparse flow of swords that remained. He said, "Martial Nephew Zhang, this sword of mine is probably unable to do anything to you. Let's call it a day."
Zhang Yan bowed and said, "Thank you, Zhenren Shen, for your guidance."
Shen Baishuang nodded at Zhang Yan and flew into the sky. He looked back and saw Wang Xiangrong still standing there in a daze. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Apprentice-Nephew, what are you still doing here? Follow me back to the mansion. "
He waved his big sleeve and a faint yellow gas flew out and covered Wang Xiangrong. This old man was also a Yuanying Zhenren, but when he was wrapped by the yellow gas, he couldn't struggle at all. He was involuntarily pulled to the cloud and stood together with Zhuang Bufan. Then, he laughed and turned into a light and flew into the cloud.
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. He also recognized this Dao technique. It was the Daluo Heavenly Sleeve, one of the twelve divine arts in the sect. He didn't expect Shen Baishuang to also know how to use it. Moreover, he was much more experienced than Zhuang Bufan.
After watching the two of them leave, he put away the sword pellet and placed it in his palm. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the sword pellet. The sword pellet jumped and separated into a lustrous sword light. With a gentle push, sixty-three fine sword lights flew out. The lights were like stars and looked very beautiful. He looked at it for a moment and an idea came to his mind. All the sword lights suddenly gathered and returned to one pellet.
In reality, the number of sword lights he split did not increase. He could still split them into sixty-four. It was just that when he executed the sword lights before, the longest was only ten feet, and the shortest was the size of a sword pellet. With this change, it was much more exquisite than before.
He didn't think that after fighting with Shen Baishuang, when facing the enemy, he would understand a kind of wondrous use. It was a pity that he hadn't learned a high level sword technique and could only rely on himself to figure it out and comprehend it while fighting. He had taken many crooked paths. It seemed that after the Sword Competition Assembly, he would have to make a trip to Shaoqing Sect.
Monastery Head Qiao rarely left the sect and had never fought with anyone in his life. Just Now seeing the two of them fight, he couldn't help but be dazzled and gasp in amazement. He came up to stand with Zhang Yan and cupped his hands. He sighed and said, "Today I learned of Zhenren Zhang's divine skill. No wonder you were able to kill Hu Yunzhong with one sword."
Zhang Yan shook his head. Just Now Shen Baishuang had revealed a move before he left. It was obviously telling him that he hadn't used his full strength.
After all, this person was a third tier Yuanying expert. His cultivation was much higher than his. If they really fought without holding back, he felt that it would be very difficult to win this person purely based on Dao techniques. Especially that Dao technique of Heaven and Earth Lock. He felt that he could still escape in front of Shen Lintu, but this person couldn't. The speed of this technique was incomparably fast, and it almost restricted his Sword Escape Technique to death. Unless he thoroughly studied the Five Elements Escape Technique, it would be extremely difficult for him to break out.
Thinking about this, determination appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself, "After this matter is settled, I'll cultivate that Five Elements Escape Technique with all my strength."
At this moment, Shen Baishuang and Wang Xiangrong were flying on the clouds and were returning to Glittering Jewel Grotto. After half the journey, Wang Xiangrong finally couldn't help but ask, "Uncle-Master, that Zhang Yan is definitely not your match. Why don't you try to defeat him?"
Shen Baishuang looked at her irritated look and couldn't help but find it funny. He shook his head and said, "I'm a senior, and my cultivation is higher than him. If I force him to give up the Heavenly Cauldron of Earth Fire, wouldn't I be bullying the weak? This child is the disciple that Head Uncle-Master has set his eyes on. This time, I'm here on orders. If I take him down rashly, have you thought about the matter behind this? "
Wang Xiangrong deciphered the deeper meaning in Shen Baishuang's words and seemed to have thought of something. She couldn't help but shiver. She stammered, "But, but if that's the case, Junior Nephew Zhong's Cloud Tower will be lost."
Shen Baishuang laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? In the past, when I was one of the top ten disciples, I also had a Lofty Cloud Tower. It's just that I haven't used it for many years, and it's useless to keep it. I'll just give it to Junior Nephew Zhong."
