Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”So you mean to concede?”

Jiang Ding asked again.

The person before him was already the strongest swordsman among his peers in the Domain, and it would be a pity if he lost his will to fight.

”That, that is absolutely impossible.”

With a whoosh, Yu Qianzi darted to a spot kilometers away, her face lifted, her fighting spirit high, ”What of the Nascent Treasure? We sword cultivators ought to emerge from death, overcoming every adversity, to achieve the supreme Sword Dao!”

”Go!”

With a flick of her finger, she made her move.

A Moon White Flying Sword appeared between heaven and earth, carrying a cold, illusionary essence. A mere glance could send a large group of Golden Pill Monks into an endless fantasy, endlessly questioning their hearts until death.

”Admirable fighting spirit.”

Jiang Ding gazed at the Moon White Flying Sword.

The illusions created by the Taiyin Sword Intent were completely useless. The flying sword, with its misty light, followed a twisting path through space, arriving in an instant, freezing souls with the Taiyin Sword Intent.

Clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword was drawn, its edge mostly sheathed as it slashed out, following the same winding space path, arriving before the other despite being later, accompanied by the sound of a sword’s cry.

With one sword,

it forced the Taiyin Flying Sword back kilometers away, its spiritual light dimmed.

”Such speed…”

Yu Qianzi’s heart skipped a beat.

Facing this sword head-on, she felt like a faltering infant up against an adult’s sword strike, unable to dodge, staggering to meet the attack with her sword.

As expected, she was pushed back by a single strike, almost unable to resist.

Facing a stronger enemy,

how should a sword cultivator respond?

Grip the sword, to emerge from death, using strength to strike at weaknesses!

Yu Qianzi’s face flushed with excitement, feeling her blood boil again, as the opportunity to break through the Sword Qi Thunder Sound appeared before her once more.

Just defeat the enemy before her!

”Kill!”

Clang!

The Moon White Flying Sword resonated with a clear ring, ripples of moon-colored waves spreading out in space, dividing into nine. Large swathes of hazy moonlight were scattered, forming the Nine Illusionary Divine Moon Sword Formation passed down from the Daymoon Sword Pavilion, combined with the soft celestial music descending from the heavens.

From afar, it seemed as if the Guanghan Immortal Palace had descended to the mortal world, with fairy maidens playing music inside, laurel trees piercing the sky, and jade rabbits scurrying about within the palace—an enchanting sight to behold.

There was also the faint sound of the Sword Dao’s grand principles which contained countless swordsmanship truths, irresistibly drawing one into deep fascination.

”This is…”

Jiang Ding was deeply shocked, drawn to these truths.

In an instant, his mind was filled with new insights about Sword Nine, and even the Great Sun Nascent Soul Art and the Destroying Golden Sword. His eyes brightened with keen interest, absorbed and willing to be engrossed, continuously deducing the inspirations arising in his mind for further clarity.

This sword technique was specifically targeted at sword cultivators!

Clang!

Just as the Moon White Flying Sword was about to reach him and strike his head, the Taiqing Flying Sword sounded a warning.

”The sound of the Sword Dao!”

”The swordsmanship that the Jiandao School has been researching and passing down for countless years!”

Jiang Ding’s heart trembled.

”Slash!”

The Taiqing Flying Sword buzzed, splitting into nine identical Bluegold Flying Swords, accompanied by the thunderous roar of thunder and electromagnetism. Infinite thunderous light filled the space between the flying swords, turning into a vast sea, while deep blue magnetic lines spread out, covering a radius of nearly a hundred kilometers, temporarily obscuring the vision of the Guanghan Immortal Palace.

It wasn’t any sword technique, but the Ten Thousand Magnetic Thunder Cloud Formation, arranged using the flying swords.

Ding!

As soon as the Electromagnetic Sword Formation expanded, an invisible Moon White Flying Sword had already breached within ten meters, detected only then, its killing intent ice cold and its sword-light filling the entire view, causing one’s Divine Soul to become rigid and freeze.

”Taiqing!”

Jiang Ding cried out in alarm, startled.

For a Golden Pill Monk, ten meters was virtually no different from being right beneath one’s eyelids!

He was paying the price for his oversight.

Whoosh!

One of the nine swords suddenly burst into dazzling light. Through the tight connection between the Life Flying Sword and the Sword Master, it moved with a speed surpassing instant teleportation to intercept the invisible Divine Moon Sword, barely before hitting the forehead.

Clang!

Radiant sword-light erupted, and the Moon White Flying Sword was brutally knocked back tens of kilometers, giving a mournful cry as it crashed to the ground. It took quite a while before it started flickering and flew back to the Sword Master’s side.

”Sigh... it wasn’t successful.”

Yu Qianzi caressed the Taiyin Flying Sword with heartache, feeling a deep sense of regret.

The restless passion within was about to break through the Sword Qi Thunder Sound, but the signs of breakthrough came to a halt.

Sword Cultivators are a profession that places extreme emphasis on victory and defeat. Without victory, everything is in vain.

”Taiyin, you did well.”

Jiang Ding gently touched his cheek, feeling warm and moist.

When the Great Sun and Taiyin Flying Swords clashed, a wisp of Sword Qi breached the defensive Sword Qi shield and wounded him, despite his fragile defense and the obvious gap in strength.

Jiang Ding knew this was due to a combination of mentality and swordsmanship differences.

Inside the Xianmen Sect, the sense of security was too strong, making it easy to fall victim to an attack.

Moreover, the swordsmanship aimed at Sword Cultivators was the crystallization of countless generations of Swordsmen from the Daymoon Sword Pavilion’s wisdom and hard work.

The combination of these elements almost led to his downfall in an oversight.

Being fragile had its drawbacks.

If it were the Taoist of Five Elements or An Tuzi with such a gap in strength, even if momentarily caught off guard, they wouldn’t get hurt.

However...

”Taiyin, can you perform the swordsmanship you just did once more?”

Jiang Ding looked fervently at the girl in the Moon-White Fairy Skirt in the distance.

He remembered!

When the Daymoon Sword Pavilion wasn’t lacking in resources, it would witness the emergence of both Great Sun Swordsman and Taiyin Swordsman.

This was no coincidence.

Between them, the Taiyin Swordsman, with less aggressive tendencies and a focus on roundabout, illusionary, and freezing tactics, had potent support abilities that could help Sword Cultivators enlighten the Dao!

This was not only a swordsmanship attack but also a means to enlighten the Dao!

She could shorten the research time for the Great Sun Nascent Soul Art and Destroying Golden Sword!

”I cannot.”

Yu Qianzi’s voice was clear and crisp.

With a complete legacy of the Moon Vein, she wasn’t oblivious and was very aware of her capabilities. She had just sensed an opportunity to break through the Sword Qi Thunder Sound and thus chose the method most likely to succeed.

Now that she had failed, of course, it wasn’t possible to succeed again.

”You cannot?”

”Are you sure?”

Jiang Ding’s voice turned icy cold.

”I suddenly remembered that you’ve ’taught’ me swordsmanship for many years. No, it wasn’t ’teaching’. Rather, you’ve ’corrected’ my swordsmanship for a long time.”

This reason was very important.

No matter how much the Taiyin Sword Sect wanted to protect their own, they wouldn’t agree to their Swordsmen intervening out of fear of exchanging sword techniques. On the contrary, they would welcome it.

”What are you trying to do?”

Yu Qianzi’s expression changed.

Boom!

The Taiqing Flying Sword had already thundered down, as nine identical Thunder Flying Swords carrying the whole Ten Thousand Magnetic Thunder Cloud Formation descended. Sword Qi gushed forth, carrying a hint of the destructive force of a Cultivator’s heavenly tribulation, captivating and formidable.

All of this crashed into the illusion of the Guanghan Immortal Palace.

Boom!

Loud roars could be heard as the beautiful illusion of the Guanghan Immortal Palace collapsed under the thunderous sword-light. The palace shattered, celestial fairies fell in droves, the jade rabbit fled in panic, and the mystical aura dissipated.

Clang, clang, clang...

Within the fractured Thunder Sword Domain, nine Moon White Flying Swords and nine Thunder Flying Swords engaged in fierce combat, slashing, chopping, jabbing, and stabbing wildly.

It was evident that even in terms of swordsmanship, the Moon White Flying Swords were severely outmatched. They were broken in half in the span of just two breaths, leaving only one actual Flying Sword to cry mournfully as it fled into the distance.
