Jian Fenghong's words were already sufficiently confident, but Yi Yun's words were not only confident, but arrogant.
However, although Yi Yun was arrogant, no one believed that he was blowing his own trumpet. Many geniuses were invincible among their peers during their growth. It was common for them to be invincible among their peers. People would believe it if Yi Yun said that he seldom fought opponents his level.
However, Yi Yun was a genius, and so was Jian Fenghong. Furthermore, Jian Fenghong had grown up in the Clarity Pool Sword Sect. He had battled the younger generation of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect from a young age, so he had extraordinary strength.
Furthermore, Jian Fenghong had only suppressed his cultivation level to Yi Yun's level. As for Jian Fenghong's Sword Dao and nomological insights, they were still his original self. If not for Jian Wufeng praising Yi Yun's astounding Sword Dao, how could Jian Fenghong have bullied Yi Yun by using four hundred years of Sword Dao cultivation to fight Yi Yun?
"Very good. Then, let me see if you can withstand this strike of mine."
Jian Fenghong's figure flashed as he thrust his sword forward.
The sword in his hand swirled with a sharp sword intent. Compared to Jian Xiaoshuang, Jian Fenghong's sword intent was even more terrifying. It even resonated with the sword array.
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! The sword array trembled. When Jian Fenghong's sword intent rose to its limits, suddenly, the sword beams seemed to transform into autumn waters that tore through space. Following that, they transformed into a light curtain. Every sword beam locked onto Yi Yun, sealing off all of Yi Yun's aura.
Hard-Soft concept, laws of water?
Yi Yun was taken aback. When his sword intent rose to its limits, it turned from hard to soft. The sword waves rippled like autumn waters. It was a formless reflection of Yi Yun's Dao — as the saying goes, things move in the opposite direction when they reach an extreme. A single law was unable to reach an extreme. Only by using opposing laws could one gain insights into the Great Dao.
Jian Fenghong's Hard Soft concept was similar to Yi Yun's. It was indeed extraordinary!
The Sword Dao heritage that Azure Yang Lord left behind in the Clarity Pool Sword Sect was incomplete. Many people added their own understandings into the Sword Dao, and some of these understandings were rather impressive. As the eldest disciple of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, Jian Fenghong naturally had his own strengths.
"Tempered Steel Turns Soft! Senior Apprentice Brother Feng Hong has used his trump card! "
Upon seeing Jian Fenghong's sword move, many disciples became excited. Many people knew that when things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction. However, to fuse two opposing laws together was easier said than done. Even Jian Xiaoshuang had not managed to do it.
Combining hardness and softness, the sword tore through the sky and headed straight for Yi Yun's glabella!
However, Yi Yun did not attack immediately. He held the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword in hand and pondered as he watched Jian Fenghong's attack.
The hardness and softness of the sword matched Yi Yun's Dao, but it was also something Yi Yun had never considered before. Yi Yun was supposed to demonstrate his sword moves to the Clarity Pool Sword Sect disciples at the trial, but he never expected that Jian Fenghong's sword move would inspire him.
"What is Yi Yun doing? Why isn't he attacking?"
Everyone was waiting to see Yi Yun's performance. Although they did not believe that Yi Yun had a chance of putting up a resistance, he was, after all, a genius that Jian Wufeng had promoted. He had to have some strength.
"Is he scared out of his wits? If he doesn't draw his sword now, he won't have another chance. It's too late!"
"Hmm? Wait … Why does it feel like time has slowed down? "
Everyone watched helplessly as Jian Fenghong's sword stabbed at Yi Yun's glabella. However, this short distance felt like the sword had been flying for millennia, yet it failed to stab at Yi Yun.
Yi Yun stood silently in the river of time as he pondered. At a certain moment, he suddenly attacked.
"When things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. Since your sword has fused hardness and softness, let me try this!"
"Clang —!"
The Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword let out a clear hum that sounded like a dragon's roar as it surged into the sky.
Just this sword alone made Jian Wufeng's eyes light up.
The Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword had been stimulated by Yi Yun. Just by drawing the sword, the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword's power that Yi Yun had stimulated far exceeded Jian Xiaoshuang's!
A Sword Dao genius was nothing more than this!
And at the instant Yi Yun drew the sword, the space around him suddenly turned chaotic.
The thrust of the sword seemed to come from an ancient void, piercing into the distant future. Yi Yun's strike left everyone breathless.
Space-time laws?
The Clarity Pool Sword Sect disciples present could only sense the terror of Yi Yun's strike. As for people like Jian Wufeng, Jian Buyi, and the Clarity Pool Sword Sect Elders, they were deeply astonished when they saw the strike.
The power of Jian Fenghong's sword attack came from the fact that he had fused two opposing concepts in Azure Yang Lord's heritage. This was something that even many Sword Dao geniuses could not do.
However, in Jian Fenghong's clash with Yi Yun, Yi Yun's sword attack had managed to do the same. His strike had fused two opposing concepts that complemented each other, making it invincible!
What was even more terrifying was that Jian Fenghong had only gained insight into Hard-Soft. It was a minor Dao after all, one that was beneath the five elements and the Creation Dao.
As for Yi Yun, he had gained insight into the Space-Time Great Dao.
At the beginning of the Universe's formation, Yin-Yang and Space-Time were born at the same time. The five elements and the Creation Dao came later. This was not something that the concepts of Hard-Soft could compare with.
Yi Yun had actually fused the opposing Space-Time Great Dao into Azure Yang Lord's sword attack?
Was it because he had studied this technique before, or was it because he was struck by inspiration after seeing Jian Fenghong's sword technique?
If it was the former, Yi Yun's talent was already monstrous. If it was the latter, it was even more unimaginable!
However, the sword attack had yet to come to an end. Before the Elders could even exclaim in amazement, they saw a scorching sun descend from the sky. In the scorching sun, there was a faint Golden Crow phantom image that was bathing in flames!
And at the same time, Yi Yun's blade shimmered with a cold beam!
The cold beam that came from the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword seemed to freeze anyone who looked at it. Wherever the sword beam went, it was like a frost hell that swept through everything. Jian Fenghong was the first to bear the brunt of it. Even though he was separated by an array formation, he felt like his soul was being frozen.
Could this … be the … Yin-Yang concept!?
Pure Yang Great Dao, coupled with the extreme cold pure Yin, Yi Yun's strike had fused both the Space-Time Great Dao and the Yin-Yang Great Dao!
Against such terrifying laws, his Hard-Soft concept was like a stream in front of a vast ocean. It appeared weak and powerless.
Boom!
The sword beam that Jian Fenghong produced was shattered by the four laws!
With the support of a nine-leaf Dao fruit, the nomological insights and Sword Dao that Yi Yun cultivated were far beyond Jian Fenghong's reach!
"Azure Rainbow Pierces the Blood Moon, Icy Cold Seals the God Abyss!"
Yi Yun finally slashed out with this strike!
The Azure Rainbow Sword contained the sword intents of Azure Yang Lord and the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner, as well as Yi Yun's own sword intent — Wherever the sword points, advance with indomitable will!
"Ka-cha!"
Jian Fenghong's sword avatar was shattered by the strike, exploding into countless beams of light in the sky!
The sword did not lose its momentum as it slashed heavily at the smooth mountain wall!
The mountain wall, which had been augmented by an array formation, was sliced through by the strike, causing countless rocks to rain down. From the sky to the ground, a shocking sword scar was left!
Upon seeing the power of his strike, Yi Yun's eyes revealed a look of excitement. He never expected that when he exchanged blows with Jian Fenghong, his own Sword Dao would have a breakthrough!
