I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1793: Chapter 1793: Advanced Sword Technique, Kuang Lei Battle Intent Surges! (5/5)

Mu Fusheng had been carefully observing Netherworld King’s direction all along.

His expression was grave, clearly astonished by the strength of the Green-clothed man.

Although the Green-clothed man had suppressed his realm to be equal to Netherworld King’s, in terms of Sword Dao, he was still far inferior to Netherworld King.

Yet even so, he still used his sword technique to overpower Netherworld King!

Kuang Lei, standing nearby, laughed aloud: ”It seems your companion isn’t enough, but it’s no surprise. After all, cultivators of this era pay too little attention to their foundations.”

The old man took a sip of wine and said indifferently: ”This era is too restless. The awareness of fundamental combat can often give you the upper hand, even turn the tide in a hopeless situation...”

Mu Fusheng couldn’t help but admit that they were right.

In truth, they understood this concept as well, which was why Senior Brother and Blackie were so eager to find opponents to spar with—to sharpen their practical combat abilities so it would match their realm.

Compared to their peers, Senior Brother and Blackie’s practical combat skills were already far ahead.

However... they would not deliberately practice during idle time as the old man and Kuang Lei suggested.

”Let’s wait and see. If your Senior Brother can’t comprehend something in terms of sword technique during this battle...” The old man chuckled lightly, ”then he might end up dead.”

Mu Fusheng’s heart tightened, but seeing Netherworld King close his eyes, he forced a calm smile.

”Senior, you might not know this—when it comes to matters of the sword, my Senior Brother’s ability to comprehend surpasses ordinary people by far.”

The old man and Kuang Lei exchanged a glance but remained silent, wondering where Mu Fusheng’s confidence came from. One drank boldly, the other sipped meticulously, both quietly watching to see how Netherworld King would break free from his predicament.

At this moment.

The Green-clothed man looked at Netherworld King, who had closed his eyes, and couldn’t help but reveal a hint of admiration.

”He isn’t entirely hopeless—there’s potential to mold him. Knowing he cannot find a flaw, he entrusts the task to his inner self.”

For a sword cultivator.

While the Sword Dao is undoubtedly important, the Sword Heart is an essential part of their essence.

The so-called Sword Heart needs no unnecessary elaboration.

The particularity of sword cultivation makes those with Sword Hearts especially able to pierce through flaws and perceive all illusions.

By closing his eyes and abandoning all senses except the Heart’s Eye, concentrating entirely on the Sword Heart—

this method allows the flaws to be discerned more distinctly.

The moment Netherworld King closed his eyes and focused his mind on his Sword Heart, an entirely different plane appeared in his sea of consciousness.

Everything around him—the gravestones on grave mountain, the coffins, and even the trajectory of everyone’s moves—was laid bare.

The movement of air, the faint streams of airflow—he could perceive it all clearly.

At this moment.

The Green-clothed man stepped closer, his longsword swinging down toward Netherworld King.

The previously abundant flaws... were reduced in number in Netherworld King’s perception.

And so, Netherworld King struck, while the Green-clothed man’s sword descended from above, aiming to split his crown.

Netherworld King bent his knees slightly, his figure curling like a panther.

In the next instant, he kicked the ground hard, launching himself at the Green-clothed man’s chest!

Simultaneously, his longsword thrust straight toward the Green-clothed man’s heart!

To the observer, if the Green-clothed man chose not to evade, he would surely be pierced through the chest, while his sword would only graze Netherworld King’s back.

Which was the heavier blow was obvious at a glance!

However.

The Green-clothed man did not retreat, as if embracing the determination of ”damage a thousand, injure eight hundred,” he continued slashing at Netherworld King!

But at this moment, the Green-clothed man’s hands subtly twisted.

His entire body bent backward.

His feet lifted off the ground!

His longsword cleanly sliced off a chunk of skin from Netherworld King’s back!

Netherworld King felt his back erupt in burning, piercing pain!

And his thrust missed its mark.

Netherworld King’s eyes narrowed sharply. Refusing to abandon his offense, he roared, lifting his sword for an upward thrust directed at the Green-clothed man’s legs.

In that instant, the Green-clothed man forced his legs down, stomping precisely onto the edge of Netherworld King’s sword.

Netherworld King felt his hands sink as his grip on the sword dragged him onto the ground.

The Green-clothed man flicked his right foot, kicking Netherworld King away again.

His back smashed heavily against a gravestone.

The already-sliced skin of his back collided once more—a pain few could endure.

The Green-clothed man smiled: ”Not bad, at least you identified a flaw. Among sword cultivators of this era, your sword technique truly stands out.”

He turned to Xuanyuan Che and Xuanyuan Ling, sneered, and said: ”At the very least, they’re no match for you.”

”However... this is still not enough.”

Netherworld King nodded heavily, struggling to his feet and closing his eyes once again.

The Heart’s Eye was insufficient to grasp the Green-clothed man.

He needed to focus even more!

Letting go of grasping the wind’s movement, abandoning perceptions of others, discarding senses for flowing air or swirling sand.

Concentrate all attention solely on the Green-clothed man!

As the Green-clothed man pressed his attack toward Netherworld King once more!

This time.

Netherworld King struck again—but this time.

His sword’s angle was incredibly cunning!

The Green-clothed man thrust forward.

Netherworld King’s sword swept toward the Green-clothed man’s side!

This strike landed sharply on the end of the Green-clothed man’s sword hilt!

The Green-clothed man’s expression flickered briefly, his longsword forcibly shaken off course.

Netherworld King lunged forward, his right foot stepping forward, closing the gap between them. His sword pivoted; initially aimed to deflect the Green-clothed man’s sword, it now swung horizontally, aiming directly for his chest!

The Green-clothed man chuckled.

With a knee strike, he suppressed Netherworld King’s movement, then retreated.

He attacked again!

The two of them.

In that critical moment exchanged no fewer than six strikes!

Netherworld King’s chest bore a ferocious wound.

Yet... in this moment, he seemed demonized, neglecting the pain, recklessly charging toward the Green-clothed man once again!

In Netherworld King’s subconscious, time was passing rapidly.

But to those watching his battle, time was seemly dragging endlessly...

In merely half a day.

Netherworld King managed to spar evenly with the Green-clothed man!

Though he was still on the losing side, the Green-clothed man could no longer land an injury on him!

The old man’s mouth twitched.

He finally understood why Mu Fusheng had such confidence in his Senior Brother.

To achieve this level in half a day... no wonder his Sword Dao realm was so high.

Even Kuang Lei showed signs of blazing battle intent, staring fiercely at Mu Fusheng. ”Since your Senior Brother has such talent, I wager you won’t be far behind. I’m growing more eager to cross blades with you!”
