Zhang Yu did not use his sword just now. However, every beam of starlight collided with the Sword Qi, and the moment the Sword Qi was completely worn out, all the starlight was also worn out, not one bit more, not one bit less.
This was definitely not a method that an ordinary person could use to destroy the Sword Qi. Only someone who knew how to control the sword could do so.
As a sword cultivator, it was not difficult for Chen Baixiao to detect this.
Zhang Yu did not hide his idea of controlling swords. This was because he would have to draw his sword sooner or later when dealing with a sword cultivator who had also mastered the "God on the Sword" technique.
He did not think that the other party would make the same mistake as last time and send another person to fight with him. There should be more enemies coming. There had been no movement at the passage between the two worlds until now. However, even if they did not come now, it did not mean that they would not come later. Someone might secretly come while he was fighting with this person.
In front of him, Chen Baixiao had just attacked him, so he naturally had another move up his sleeve. With a thought, a "Heavenly Heart Mirror" technique landed on his body.
When Chen Baixiao sensed that the divine ability was coming, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He twisted his sword-wielding wrist slightly, and a ray of sword light flew up and landed on his body, cutting off the divine ability that had reached him.
At the same time, he slashed his sword at Zhang Yu. There was no Sword Qi in this slash, only a ray of light. Then, Zhang Yu's mind seemed to be drawn into it.
Zhang Yu immediately recognized that this was a sword slash that targeted one's mind. The moment he saw the sword, it was already reflected in his mind. With a thought, the light in his mind shone brightly, and the ray of sword light disintegrated.
Normally speaking, attacks that targeted one's mind needed to be resolved by divine abilities. Even when Chen Baixiao slashed himself with his sword, he did not escape this category.
However, he relied purely on the power of his heart light to resolve this. This action undoubtedly consumed his heart light. However, the current him had a strong foundation and vigorous heart force, so he did not need to care about such insignificant consumption.
Almost at the same time as he dispelled this technique, before the sword light on the other side had completely dissipated, a ray of light flashed out from his body. It was a "Illusory Divine Slash" that was similarly aimed at his mind in return.
Chen Baixiao did not move. At that moment, a sword shadow leaped out from his mind and slashed at the bright light. Both of them dissipated. The moment the sword shadow flew out, Chen Baixiao seemed to know that he would be able to neutralize it with this technique. He swung his arm in the direction of Zhang Yu, and an extremely sharp sword light leaped across the void.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly. He could tell at the moment when the sword light appeared that the sword light was extremely sharp. It could cut through everything in its path and was almost unstoppable.
One of the thirty-six sword techniques was called "Dust-Splitting Technique". It was said that there was nothing it could not cut and nothing it could not break. This sword technique was just a variation of this technique.
Usually, the only way to deal with this kind of sword light was to avoid it. However, he did not move. Instead, a shadow similar to himself appeared on his body and collided head-on with the sword light. When the two came into contact, although the shadow dissipated, the sword light also disappeared.
However, he could tell that this sword had the form but not the spirit. It could only cut through one body and not all things. Therefore, he could only use "Elusive Slough" to block it and dissolve it on its own.
In reality, these few exchanges were not a real battle. They were just probing each other. Through these exchanges, not only could they understand the general foundation of their opponent, but they could also pry into their opponent's battle style.
After exchanging a few moves, the two of them had a rough idea of what was going on.
Chen Baixiao secretly judged, "This person's mana is extremely strong. His supernatural powers are strong but rarely change. His state of mind is especially tough and his escape technique is difficult to distinguish. Other than these, there are almost no flaws. I suspect that he has yet to use a sword technique. However, based on the way he uses it, he is not a pure swordsman."
Zhang Yu also made a judgment of Chen Baixiao, "This person's heart is as cold as ice. He ignores his enemies and himself. Although there are many changes in his sword technique, there must be a central point to rely on. All sword techniques start and end with this point. Using a sword is just a facade. At the end of the day, this person is actually good at using supernatural powers."
The probing between the two sides ended here.
Chen Baixiao did not speak. He reached out and touched the spine of his sword. He looked at Zhang Yu, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of anticipation.
During the probing, Zhang Yu had been thinking about how to fight against this person. If it was one-on-one, he would not have to think about this. Now, he was the person in charge of guarding the array. Instead of thinking about winning the battle, he was thinking about how to defend the array for the longest time.
There was no doubt that there were stronger opponents behind the passage of the two worlds. He could not expose too many things. Otherwise, no matter how many people he defeated, as long as he was defeated by his opponent once, the situation could collapse.
Previously, when he used the Universal Daylight to kill Dan Xiaochen, his opponent would undoubtedly be on guard. However, with this kind of supernatural power, if no one was willing to face him head-on, his opponent would be able to dodge in advance before he saw any movement.
This person's mana was not as strong as his. Should he use the Word Seal? However, when this thought came to his mind, he felt that it was inappropriate. It seemed that this method would not work.
Should he use the Six Righteous Words of Heaven to defeat his opponent?
After thinking about it, he decided not to use it for the time being. If Chen Baixiao did not have the passage of the two worlds behind him, this method would work. However, if he sensed that something was wrong, he could retreat and come back later. Perhaps another person could come here. If that happened, Chen Baixiao would have wasted his effort.
If that was the case …
He looked up. Since his opponent wanted to ask for the sword, he would use the sword to fight. He reached out and the Sword of Cicada Cry was already in his hand.
As for the Sword of Shocking Heaven, he hid it at the side. It was not necessary to use it to deal with Chen Baixiao, but to guard against any unexpected changes, such as the arrival of another opponent.
When Chen Baixiao saw him holding the sword, his eyes lit up. With a shake of his wrist, he swung his sword horizontally. He was clearly far away, but as he swung his sword, the sword light passed through the space between them and landed on Zhang Yu's light. However, after a light touch, it dissipated. It did not seem to be very powerful.
Zhang Yu immediately recognized that this should be the use of the Infinite Victory. When the sword was raised and brought down, it would definitely hit the enemy. However, the power of the sword was not strong. Usually, it could be blocked with the mana of the Enlightened Light.
However, there was a profound principle contained within this sword technique, and it was called 'Life and Death Void' by sword cultivators. After this sword technique struck the enemy, it could be within a few strikes or within a hundred strikes, and there would definitely be one strike that could kill the enemy!
However, when this stroke would reveal its mystery, even the master himself did not know. It was said that those who specialized in this sword technique to the peak would be able to kill their opponent with at most three strokes.
Although Chen Baixiao was definitely not a swordsman who specialized in this Dao and was merely making use of it, he couldn't rely on this person to unleash his full power. Therefore, he changed his mind and used the Light Capturing Technique on this person.
In the past, it was very difficult for him to use the Light Capturing Technique to accurately target his opponents because his opponents all had Counter Curses on them. However, this magical power was also supported by the Light of Heart. The higher the Light of Heart, the more powerful the magical power would be. Now, his Light of Heart was stronger than ever before. When he used it now, Chen Baixiao's body instantly froze. At the same time, he casually slashed out with a ray of sword light.
Although Chen Baixiao was able to remain motionless, a beam of sword radiance leaped out from the sword case and blocked the path in front of him. Even though the sword radiance was destroyed halfway through, it was obvious that there was something special about it. With this block, the sword radiance slashing toward him slowed down slightly.
However, the exchange of sword light was extremely fast. It seemed like the two swords had collided, but in reality, it did not last more than a moment. At this moment, Chen Baixiao was still unable to break free from the supernatural power. Although his body was unable to break free, his Primordial Spirit was one step ahead of him. His Primordial Spirit emerged from his body, raised its sword, and slashed, destroying the sword light that was attacking him.
However, at the same time, the Primordial Spirit seemed to have suffered a great impact. Together with the sword shadow in its hand, it collapsed and turned into countless specks of light that returned to Chen Baixiao's body.
His expression was extremely solemn. "Slaying Zhu Jue?"
In addition to being surprised, there was a burning desire in the depths of his eyes.
Every time he killed a swordsman, he would be able to use a part of his opponent's supernatural power. This supernatural power was not taken from his opponent. Instead, it was reflected in his own supernatural power after he defeated his opponent in battle. This was the unique characteristic of the "Primordial Change."
However, this supernatural power did not form a system. In reality, it could be seen as the condensation of different kinds of supernatural powers on the sword. How it was used depended on the master's judgment and control of the battle situation. If it was used well, it would be extremely powerful. If it was not, it would be worse than an ordinary swordsman.
If he could obtain the "Slaying Zhu Jue," it would make up for one of his biggest shortcomings. It would have both speed and power, and the power of his own sword would increase by more than a level.
However, he had never encountered such an opponent before. Today, however, he had encountered one. He stared at Zhang Yu. He had to get his hands on this!
At the same time, Gu Yangzi and the other two saw Chen Baixiao escape from the passage between the two worlds and fight with Zhang Yu. Only then did they feel slightly relieved. Without a doubt, Huanyang school had received their message and decided to speed up the process of breaking the formation.
At this moment, a beam of rainbow light came from outside and landed in the hall. Ying Chong appeared from it. He bowed and said, "Greetings, High Venerables."
Gu Yangzi could feel that there was no movement outside. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Ying Chong said, "High Venerables, Zhang Yu is very powerful. My fellow Daoist from Huanyang school may have a plan, but he may not be able to defeat this person. Even if he wins, he may not be able to break the formation. We still don't know when he will be able to restrain Xuanting."
Gu Yangzi asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ying Chong raised his head and said, "Tianxia is still relying on the formation in front of the passage to seal the passage between the two worlds. However, this place is in the void. We can summon the Evil Spirits to help us. Perhaps we can help Huanyang once and make it difficult for them to defend their rear. This way, we may be able to disrupt their formation!"
Lingdu Daoist said, "With the protection of the Qingqiong Qi, how can the Evil Spirits get close?"
Ying Chong replied, "I have already asked. The Qingqiong Qi is only harmful to the Evil Spirits, so they will instinctively avoid it. However, if the price is enough, we can still control them."
Lingdu Daoist asked, "What price?"
Ying Chong said, "What the Evil Spirits need are the pills left by Huanyang school that day. I have copied them and made another batch. Although they are not as good as the original, they can still be accepted by the Evil Spirits. If they are not enough, Huanyang school is here. You can ask them for more, or … you can let the Evil Spirits take them by themselves."
