Chapter 240: Chapter 238: Duel with the Sword Venerable, Number One Under Heaven (Part 2)

Ding!

Song Changming’s longsword struck the Sword Qi, and with his formidable strength, he forcibly shattered it.

The terrifying energy of the Sword Qi instantly exploded, blowing Song Changming back several steps.

”This Sword Qi...”

The Sword Qi and Sword Intent from ordinary martial artists, he could easily crush, including the Sword Qi from Nan Chen Guang just now, which he broke effortlessly.

Only Nan Wuji’s Sword Qi was condensed like a divine artifact, making it very hard to break and scatter.

Fortunately, he wasn’t injured by the opponent’s Sword Qi; his physical body withstood the residual explosion of the Sword Qi.

Seeing Nan Wuji still standing there, completely unmoved, Song Changming felt that his long-cold blood finally surged with excitement once more.

”Excellent!”

Song Changming raised his longsword, and as his heart changed, so did the Sword Intent. The blade gradually turned red-hot, rolling with heatwaves.

”The Chu Family’s Fire God Saber Technique, practicing two vastly different saber techniques to success, his Sword Dao mastery is also impressive...” Su Yaoguang recognized the saber technique Song Changming was using.

As Song Changming’s full strength was gradually revealed, people increasingly marveled at his prodigious talent!

If described in one word, it would be comprehensive.

He had virtually no weaknesses, excelling in Body Refinement, Qi Refining, Spiritual Meditation, Martial Technique mastery, all thoroughly accomplished!

All this ultimately manifested in Song Changming’s overall strength!

With a booming sound, Song Changming unleashed a Fire God Slash!

A towering pillar of fire crashed down, and Nan Wuji felt the scorching heat from the Blade Qi of this fire pillar and swept his sword out.

The highly condensed Sword Qi reappeared, instantly dispersing this Fire Attribute Blade Qi in the air.

In terms of Inner Qi cultivation and martial technique, Song Changming could never match Nan Wuji.

This did not surprise Song Changming.

After the Fire Attribute Blade Qi was dispersed, it scattered everywhere like bits of starfire.

The surrounding energy became chaotic, disrupting Nan Wuji’s spiritual perception.

When he wanted to lock onto Song Changming again, Song Changming was already close to him.

The distance between them was less than half a meter, their eyes meeting.

Song Changming gripped the sword handle with both hands, exerting force as the longsword drew a semicircle and slashed down.

At this moment, all his Qi power erupted!

Tremendous force surged into the blade, colliding with the longsword.

Clang!

The visible energy ripples seemed to collapse the surrounding space visually, continually twisting.

This time, there was a hint of strange color in Nan Wuji’s eyes, as he floated away.

Despite being the world’s number one Sword Venerable, even he found it hard to withstand Song Changming’s brute force!

The terrifying power of the Eight Elephant Giant Power, exceeding a hundred thousand pounds, combined with Inner Qi and Sword Technique, was unimaginable!

Seeing Nan Wuji retreat, Song Changming grew even more excited, surrounded by intensified thunder light as he accelerated to pursue.

The crimson longsword in Nan Wuji’s hand suddenly struck upward.

Boundless red Sword Qi split the earth, sweeping towards Song Changming.

Song Changming maneuvered with his feet, deftly dodging Nan Wuji’s sword with barely a hair’s breadth.

The Sword Qi flew a mile, severing a small hill behind into two!

The might of this sword visible at a glance!

On the other hand, Song Changming, relying on burst speed, approached Nan Wuji once more.

The Sword Venerable, having personally experienced Song Changming’s terrifying power, no longer directly clashed with Song Changming’s longsword.

As their weapons collided, he used the Breaking Blade Technique, neutralizing much of the force on Song Changming’s blade, keeping Song Changming’s attack within a defendable range.

For a time, the two were entangled in fierce combat, battling from the ground to the mountain tops, then from the mountains to the sky!

Ultimately, they fell back to the ground!

Their intense battle left the areas they passed by devastated by Sword Qi and Blade Qi.

The grass turned to dust, the rocks to ash!

As the ground shook, craters resembling meteor impacts constantly formed!

Their battle prowess was sufficient to alter the landscape.

If they battled like this in a city, the destructive power would be comparable to a great natural disaster, likely flattening the city!

Nan Chen Guang stared dumbstruck at the scene before him, speechless for a long time.

He knew Song Changming was strong, his strength overwhelming him.

But he never imagined Song Changming was this strong!

Strong enough to rival his father!

That was his ultimate goal in martial arts!

He witnessed his short-term and ultimate goals clashing equally in battle!

Only then did he realize how overconfident he was in challenging Song Changming.

Moreover, it was the first time he’d seen his father in a tough fight.

In the past, Nan Wuji always ended battles with one sword, at most a few against stronger opponents.

But today, with Song Changming, Nan Wuji had already traded hundreds of sword strikes without gaining an advantage!

Suddenly, great commotion arose on a mountain peak.

Half the mountain crumbled down!

Song Changming flipped off the mountain, his toes touching the tops of giant trees, borrowing force.

Behind him, eight strands of Crimson Sword Qi transformed into eight Crimson Sword Blades, pursuing Song Changming under Nan Wuji’s control.

These eight Crimson Sword Blades, formed of Sword Qi, were extremely condensed, harder to destroy than True Swords!

And even if dispersed, they could swiftly be reassembled by Nan Wuji.

Nan Wuji deployed them with divided mind, making Song Changming feel like he was fighting eight strong Sword Dao masters!

Executing this unique sword form, Song Changming was put on the back foot, falling into a disadvantage.

Nan Wuji could personally engage too, joining the Crimson Sword Blades in battling Song Changming.

Song Changming faced such prowess for the first time.

With one Nan Wuji already pressuring him, dealing with eight more Crimson Swords put him on the defensive.

Despite his formidable body and Dragon Body defense, his body was still marked with sword scars.

It was his first injury in years.

He had to admit, though incredibly powerful now, he was still a step behind Nan Wuji, or perhaps even more.

He sensed Nan Wuji still had power yet to display.

At this point, Song Changming impulsively desired to activate the Blood Burst Secret Technique, to see more of Nan Wuji’s abilities!

He seldom let emotions take over in unnecessary, unrewarding battles, but today he wanted to try!

However, before he could unleash the secret technique, Nan Wuji landed first and stopped.

”That’s enough.”

The eight Crimson Sword Blades stopped around him, then vanished into him.

”This was just a spar; there’s no need for a final result,” Nan Wuji sheathed his sword and said.

He cared little about the spar’s outcome, or perhaps not at all.

He just wanted to assess Song Changming’s strength.

Seeing this, Song Changming’s previously heated blood cooled like a bucket of cold water was poured over him.

The thought of activating the Blood Burst Secret Technique vanished, given its significant drawbacks.

After using the secret technique, he would be in a weakened state, a dangerous condition best avoided if possible.

The sparring with the Sword Venerable ended abruptly.

”Senior’s swordsmanship is extraordinary, I concede,” Song Changming sheathed his sword and cupped his hands.

He acknowledged his defeat without boasting about being equal to the Sword Venerable in skill.

”Few can compel the Sword Venerable to use the Eight Immortals Sword. Achieving this is rare,”

Su Yaoguang highly recognized Song Changming’s displayed strength, no wonder Nan Wuji wanted him to explore the Ancient Abyss Country.

No other in Da Han Martial Realm matched his Body Refinement skills!

Song Changming was about to exchange polite words with Su Yaoguang when Nan Wuji asked,

”Do you know the Ancient Abyss Country?”

Song Changming nodded, puzzled why Nan Wuji brought up the Ancient Abyss Country.

”I want to invite you to explore the Outer Domain, to find a route to the Ancient Abyss Country!”
