Yan Gucheng's sword attack was as fast as a comet striking the moon. All the power in his body was concentrated onto the tip of the sword by his astonishing control over his physical body.
Due to his undying body, he did not need to consider things like defending, dodging, or changing his moves. The only thing he needed to do was to use his greatest power and fastest speed to kill his opponent.
And that was exactly what he was doing right now. From the stomping of his calves to the contraction of his thighs, the twisting of his waist, his arms, and shoulders, he continued to transmit more power. All the muscles in his body were used to their limits, and the Xiantian Qi in his spiritual vision was as bright as a volcanic eruption.
Such a fast, accurate, and ruthless sword attack was already one of the extremes of killing sword arts. And before this physical sword landed on the Courageous Marquis's body, Yan Gucheng's mental power had already enveloped it.
It was a feeling of darkness, despair, and deathly stillness. It made one feel despair toward life and give up on it, losing the will to live.
However, this mental power, which could completely destroy any ordinary person's will to live, did not have any effect on the Courageous Marquis.
This was because the moment the mental energy ripples were transmitted to his body, the small golden bell at the Valiant Marquis' waist rang out once again. Layers of ripples were emitted from the bell, overlapping with the mental energy when they came into contact with each other. The ripples then dissipated, and in the end, they both disappeared.
Although mental power was amazing, it still had to conform to the most basic laws of physics. It was because it still belonged to the physical phenomenon of this universe, so it was naturally impossible for it to transcend the laws of the universe.
Therefore, as a wave that ordinary people would find hard to resist, it would be canceled out as long as it encountered a wave with a completely opposite frequency.
However, every cultivator had different obsessions and comprehensions. The principles of martial arts and the way they handled things were also ever-changing. The various parameters of the mental power released from their brains would naturally be different as well. To be able to accurately determine and cancel out Yan Gucheng's mental power in an instant was simply a miracle.
However, this had been accomplished by the bell treasure at the Courageous Marquis's waist.
However, in the blink of an eye, neither the Courageous Marquis nor Yan Gucheng had the time to think too much. They saw a flash of silver light, and the longsword in Yan Gucheng's hand had already arrived an inch away from the Courageous Marquis.
Yan Gucheng's sword was strong enough to cleave an elephant into two halves. It was almost the pinnacle of the Sword Dao and it was enough to make any cultivator below the Void Refinement Realm feel despair in front of it.
However, no matter how powerful the sword was, how fast it was, how profound the technique was, or how profound the realm was, it still couldn't change the essence of the sword.
His essence was no different from a sword thrust from a child's hand. He didn't have any internal energy, combat aura, magic, or anything like that. His essence was still to use strength and sharp weapons to make contact with the opponent, destroying the opponent's physical structure to cause damage.
Therefore, no matter how strong this sword strike was, he still had to stab his opponent's body and continue to stab.
Yan Gu Cheng had completed the first step, and the tip of his sword was already pressed against the Marquis' chest. However, he was unable to complete the next step. This was because a huge force had already rebounded onto the tip of the sword.
Time slowed down to its slowest. Just as the tip of the longsword in Yan Gucheng's hand pierced through the Marquis' skin, an unknown change had already taken place on the skin at the Marquis' chest. Moreover, all the changes were completed before the tip of the sword pierced through the layer of the Marquis' skin.
The skin that Yan Gucheng had stabbed exploded like a bomb. The shock wave gushed out from the Marquis' chest and swept across Yan Gucheng's body.
The strong air vibrations instantly covered Yan Gucheng's entire body. His internal organs were shattered into pieces, his bones were crushed, and more than half of his muscles were severely damaged.
The longsword that was the first to be attacked was directly crushed into fragments that filled the air and were reflected back at Yan Gucheng. Countless fragments splattered onto his body, and the tip of the sword even turned around and pierced through his eyeball.
In the Marquis' eyes, his opponent was sent flying with a boom and then fell to the ground like a rag doll. Fresh blood splattered out without any regard for his life.
This was a move that was enough to kill someone. It was also a Dao technique that the Marquis had only completed after he reached the Star Creation Realm and his body became semi-spiritual.
Every inch of his skin, every inch of his muscles, every strand of his bones and nerves had turned into bombs. Any attacks that were aimed at him would only be countered by the explosions depending on the strength of the attacks and the range of the attacks. The precise settings of the explosions allowed the Marquis to remain unscathed.
Of course, this was all done and set up in advance during his cultivation over a long period of time. It was a Dao technique that had been solidified on his body, and there was no need for the Marquis to react on the spot. Even if he were to stand still, he would be able to take on most of the attacks.
Therefore, after this attack, there was a small bloody wound on the Marquis' chest, while Yan Gucheng fell to the ground with serious injuries.
However, when the Marquis saw Yan Gucheng fall to the ground, he did not treat him as dead and stopped his attacks. It was because during this period of continuous exchanges, the Marquis had already figured out Yan Gucheng's background. Yan Gucheng had an undying body that possessed rapid regeneration abilities.
Therefore, the Marquis walked over and kicked out toward Yan Gucheng's trembling and struggling body.
As long as the Marquis' leg touched Yan Gucheng, the explosion from his skin would be able to blast Yan Gucheng's body into two. The Marquis wanted to know if Yan Gucheng would be able to regenerate after his body was blasted into two.
However, just as the tip of the Marquis' foot was about to touch Yan Gucheng's body, a ball of blue flames approached from afar, smashing fiercely into the Marquis' body.
However, the blue ball of flames disappeared just as quickly as it came. A layer of something like a blue cover appeared on the surface of the Marquis' body, and the ball of flames slid out through the cover.
It looked as if the cover was a reef, and the blue ball of flames was a wave. When the wave struck the reef, it turned into countless fragments.
However, the blue ball of flames was naturally not a wave. It was an organic plasma cannon shot out by the X-2000. The thing that flashed past the Marquis' body and blocked the plasma cannon was the second Dao technique that had been solidified on his body after his semi-psionic transformation.
After his body was semi-psionic, he would be able to solidify many powerful Dao techniques onto his body through the changes in his physical body's structure and composition. It was just like what the Five Elements Daoist had done earlier. However, the Five Elements Daoist had also made use of his undying body's characteristics.
The precious thing about the Southern Sacred Gate's Life Map was that through the organic combination of many Life Clusters, the cultivator would be able to gain the ability to solidify Dao techniques at the stage of cultivating the Heavenly Palace, which was similar to the Milky Way Realm after one's physical body was solidified and semi-psionic.
