Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 384: Chapter 380: Exposing Sword Intent

Endless thunder surged from Yun Dingtian’s body, condensing into a Thunderous Qilin.

This Thunderous Qilin was as massive as a mountain, its entire body wreathed in lightning, exuding a majestic and imposing aura.

Countless people were so shocked by this scene they were rendered speechless.

But Ning Jiang stood there, his expression unchanging.

A sharp glint suddenly appeared in his pitch-black eyes. The next moment, his entire body thundered as streaks of purple lightning bloomed forth, coalescing into a purple Thunder Dharma Body.

This was the second time the Thunder Dharma Body, gained after reaching Great Success with the Nine Tribulations Celestial Thunder Body, had appeared.

The first time had been in Cyan Cloud Country, against Elder Zhang Tianze of the Extreme Heaven Sect.

Now, it was in the very heart of the Extreme Heaven Sect, against their Young Sect Leader!

”Watch me shatter your technique.”

Yun Dingtian’s gaze turned cold. The Thunder Qilin instantly became a streak of lightning and lunged forward for the kill.

Such power left every member of the younger generation shaken.

However, faced with this incomparably tyrannical strike, Ning Jiang stomped his foot in the empty air.

BOOM.

The air beneath his foot suddenly trembled, transforming into a circular sound wave that swept outward, and with that same stomp, he launched himself forward.

The Thunder Dharma Body was merely ten zhang tall, while the Thunder Qilin was a full hundred. The beast swiped down a claw, accompanied by a torrent of lightning—a terrifyingly powerful blow.

”Kill.”

Ning Jiang clenched his fingers into a fist and punched.

His fist was like a Great Seal, a single punch powerful enough to overturn heaven and earth.

Nine Tribulations Celestial Thunder Seal.

His fist was too brilliant to look at directly, forcing tears from the eyes of many Martial Artists.

DONG!

When the Thunder Dharma Body and the Thunder Qilin collided, countless thunderbolts erupted from them as the epicenter.

One side was purple, the other blue, as if they had split the very heavens in two.

”My ears...”

A Martial Artist cried out. The sound was so immense that some people were temporarily deafened, unable to hear anything else.

”Is this the pinnacle of power for the younger generation? One is the foremost expert of Liang Province’s youth, the other is the same for Qing Province. Such strength is truly awe-inspiring.”

An expert at the Earth Martial Realm exclaimed in amazement.

At Ning Jiang and Yun Dingtian’s age, they hadn’t possessed anything close to this kind of combat power.

”Only disciples from those Super Sects could contend with them. Otherwise, they are unmatched.”

Another Earth Martial Realm expert spoke gravely.

And as they spoke, the battle in the sky grew ever more intense.

With every clash, waves of rolling thunder spread in all directions. Both men were like majestic Thunder Gods in command of the storm.

”Celestial Thunder Roar.”

Yun Dingtian, commanding the Thunder Qilin, let out a furious roar.

The Thunder Qilin opened its massive maw and roared to the heavens. Instantly, an incomparably terrifying Sound Wave Power erupted from its mouth.

CRACK... CRACKLE...

Some of the buildings within the Extreme Heaven Sect couldn’t withstand the force and began to crumble. Cracks appeared on countless mountains as well.

As for the Martial Artists who heard it, the ones with weaker cultivation clutched their ears tightly, their faces contorted in pain.

This Sound Wave Power transformed into a visible tide, like ripples in water, surging endlessly toward Ning Jiang.

Instead of retreating, Ning Jiang advanced. The Thunder Dharma Body around him grew more condensed, its presence heavy and solemn.

BOOM!

Before everyone’s eyes, Ning Jiang became a streak of lightning that spanned the heavens, charging straight through the tyrannical Sound Wave Power.

He shot forward like an unstoppable arrow.

”Shut up.”

Enduring the Sound Wave Power, Ning Jiang was unbelievably ferocious, charging directly into the Thunder Qilin’s massive mouth.

”You’re courting death! Detonate!”

Yun Dingtian snorted coldly, controlling the Thunder Qilin to clamp its jaws shut. The next moment, the entire Thunder Qilin turned into a wave of destructive power, exploding from the inside out.

BOOM!

The world was suddenly illuminated.

It was impossible to describe how terrifying that strike was.

In the wake of the explosion, the sky was completely submerged by blazing lightning, transforming into a sea of thunder.

All the Martial Artists could see was a vast expanse of white light; everything else was gone.

”He can’t be dead, can he?”

”With power like that, it’s hard to say.”

”Wait, look!”

Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm.

As the lightning gradually faded, a white-haired figure wreathed in purple thunder could be seen standing proudly in the sky, looking down upon the world.

”As expected of the Master of Myriad Swords Sect. His reputation is well-deserved. To think even a strike like that failed to injure him,” someone exclaimed in amazement.

”Looks like this battle won’t be over so quickly.”

”It would be boring if it ended too quickly. I bet both of them still have trump cards left to play, don’t you think?”

”What a powerful Body Refining Technique!”

At this moment, a grave expression finally appeared in Yun Dingtian’s eyes.

The power from the Thunder Qilin’s self-destruction just now would have been enough to blow even an Immortal Realm expert to smithereens, leaving not even their Primordial Spirit a chance to escape.

Yet, Ning Jiang had blocked it with his Thunder Dharma Body.

”To be able to harm my Dharma Body... Not bad,”

Ning Jiang offered a compliment. Although he himself was uninjured, his Thunder Dharma Body was not completely unscathed.

His Dharma Body was now covered in cracks. If he faced another explosion like that, he would be in danger of injury.

”Ning Jiang, the stronger you are, the more meaningful it will be to defeat you. With your strength, you are indeed qualified to witness the true power of the Thunder Spirit Body!”

Yun Dingtian’s words brought bitter smiles to the faces of countless members of the younger generation.

The power he had just displayed was already terrifying enough, ’and that wasn’t even the true power of the Thunder Spirit Body?’

”I possess the Thunder Spirit Body! I am the lord of myriad thunders! Thunder of heaven and earth, heed my command!”

As Yun Dingtian’s voice fell,

the sky suddenly darkened. As people looked up, their faces filled with profound shock.

Thunderclouds had spread to fill a radius of a thousand zhang.

The scene resembled a cultivator undergoing a heavenly tribulation.

”The Thunder Spirit Body grants one innate and extremely strong control over thunder. It’s no exaggeration to call them a lord of thunder. I just never imagined he could reach this level, to actually summon thunderclouds.”

An Earth Martial Realm expert said in shock.

”A Spirit Body is truly awe-inspiring. With Yun Dingtian, once he fully matures, the Extreme Heaven Sect will reach even greater heights.”

”Thunder, come!”

With a low shout from Yun Dingtian, countless thunderbolts descended from the clouds and submerged him.

But the thunderbolts did not harm him; instead, he absorbed them into his body.

As the thunder entered his body, a suit of Thunder Armor gradually condensed around him. A massive Thunder Hammer appeared in his hand, and a terrifyingly oppressive aura emanated from him.

”Yun Dingtian is using his full power. If Ning Jiang doesn’t have any more trump cards, his chances of victory are slim.”

”Yun Dingtian has a Thunder Spirit Body, after all. For Ning Jiang, a mere mortal, to be able to fight him to this extent is already astonishing.”

Just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion, worried for Ning Jiang’s sake,

CLANG!

A sword hummed, its cry echoing through the sky.

With it, a razor-sharp Sword Intent shot toward the heavens.

In an instant, all fell silent!
