"How strong is your physical body? This sword is called the Spiritual Platform Wisdom Sword, and it’s designed to sever souls!" Shen Heng’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the Sword Intent and Sword Qi in his Chaos Heaven Sword rged with his spirit as one.
At this mont, in Gu Shanhai’s eyes, Shen Heng in front of him was a sword.
However, what he was scoffing at in his mind was, "Was the flash in his eyes just now because of the move called the Spiritual Platform Wisdom Sword, or are his eyes naturally flashy?"
As for the opponent cutting at his soul, Gu Shanhai didn’t take it too seriously. When it ca to which was tougher, his physical body or his soul, it was clear without thinking that it was definitely his soul.
"Break for ... BREAK!!!"
Shen Heng roared, swinging out a semi-illusory longsword.
At that ti, Gu Shanhai felt as if he was locked on, as if no matter where he dodged, he would be struck by that sword.
"Yo, a rare skill that guarantees a hit," Gu Shanhai barely mustered so spirit, "But in the hands of a player, it probably wouldn’t have this feature. I guess it’s a bonus since it’s who it’s up against."
This so-called guaranteed hit wasn’t actually unavoidable. It wasn’t like the clear explanations of skills within a ga, Shen Heng’s sword certainly couldn’t reach that extent.
Gu Shanhai didn’t dodge. The sword struck his Azure Dragon body, causing a sowhat better sensation than scratching his dragon scales with a sword earlier; at least he felt a little tearing in his soul, but it healed in an instant.
"Is that all?" Gu Shanhai looked distantly at Shen Heng, thinking that if this was the extent of his abilities, then he was ready to unleash a much bigger Dragon Breath.
The two breaths he had spat out just before would be classified as sniper rifle level, then there was also handheld gun level, and above was cannon level, missile level.
The tricky part for Gu Shanhai was how to gauge his next move, as Shen Heng held the fate of the protagonist that Gu Shanhai needed.
Seeing this, Shen Heng’s expression beca serious. He found this Taoist Wude to be an absolute monster. His body, an Azure Dragon, was impenetrable due to the scales, and his soul was both tough and strong, making him seem impenetrable with no weakness.
"No, there is a weakness." A sudden insight struck Shen Heng’s mind. If he could attack when the other was breathing out Dragon Breath, causing an explosion in its mouth, the enemy’s scales might be tough, but the insides would definitely be soft and fleshly.
Gu Shanhai looked at Shen Heng, also sowhat puzzled. From the previous situation, it seed Shen Heng was a transmigrator from so modern-type world to this Xuanji Realm and, judging from his speech, had received appropriate higher education. But now, he looked more like a native to the realm.
"Could he have been assimilated?" Gu Shanhai pondered.
Think about it, a normal person working in an office, not only without pay but also oppressed and in danger of life, the first thought would definitely be to quit, not to match wits with the boss or colleagues.
If he were in Shen Heng’s place at the Luoyuan Sect, Gu Shanhai would have fled on the first day and wouldn’t have stayed.
Whether it’s Cultivation Techniques or resources, everything Shen Heng has gained is from his own adventures outside, which could be coveted by others in the sect. What’s the point of staying?
So, to say he is a transmigrator, he now looks more like a native who has transmigrator mories, which have been cast aside and not utilized. With just a bit of middle school knowledge, one could achieve a better status in this stagnant Xuanji Realm where developnt has been halted for who knows how many years.
In Gu Shanhai’s eyes, Shen Heng was certainly a genius of sorts, not foolish, and his actions were that of a genius. Of course, now he’s just a genius native of the Xuanji Realm.
Take Gu Shanhai as an example, this Azure Dragon, which is said to be a magical treasure or an attendant spirit creature, is actually a living multi-functional tool created using various technologies. It can even serve as a rice cooker, an induction cooker, and a frying pan, among other dostic appliances for cooking.
"You... why aren’t you attacking?" Gu Shanhai hesitated and then asked the motionless Shen Heng.
"..." Shen Heng was also sowhat helpless. He was waiting for Gu Shanhai to breathe out Dragon Breath, but Gu Shanhai had stopped moving, just watching him.
"How about you surrender? As they say, surrender and lose half," Gu Shanhai teased.
Shen Heng’s face turned dark, but he said nothing. He was thinking about seizing the initiative later, and so was Gu Shanhai, which ant that neither of them made a move.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, planning to unleash the strongest sword move of the "Primordial Spirit Treasure Supre Sword Technique" at the Foundation Establishnt stage.
"The ’Spirit Enlightennt Profound Sky Primordial Sixty-four Sword’ is the strongest sword move within my ’Primordial Spirit Treasure Supre Sword Technique’ at the Foundation Establishnt stage. Once executed, even those at the Purple Palace stage must submit. Elder Wude, if you concede now, you can avoid any unpleasantness," Shen Heng bluffed. For him, employing this move was also a significant strain.
Though it was said to be at the Foundation Establishnt stage, in reality, only those at the Purple Mansion stage could use it freely.
"No problem, go right ahead," Gu Shanhai replied with confidence in his Azure Dragon body. A cultivator at the Spirit Origin Stage would make him wary, but he wasn’t concerned about soone at the Purple Mansion stage.
Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Shen Heng’s eyes, and he secretly thought: ’Such arrogance. Little does he know my ’Primordial Spirit Treasure Supre Sword Technique’ is a top-tier transmission in the path of swordsmanship!’
However, since the other party was so confident, he showed no rcy. He operated his Chaos Heaven Sword to its utmost limit, and mana coursed through him.
In an instant, his form vanished, and countless sword shadows rained down.
Gu Shanhai did not budge upon seeing this, mainly because there was no real danger.
The tinkling and clanging sounds were of Shen Heng’s sword light striking against the Azure Dragon scales on Gu Shanhai’s body.
At this mont, the gap between the two was clear for all to see. Most people present were thinking about how to interrogate Shen Heng for the secrets of the 36 Transformations and 72 Transformations after his defeat.
As for taking action against Gu Shanhai themselves? That would be courting death. Had they not seen Yun Yu, the Peeping Dao Stage cultivator sitting above? To strike was to oppose the Chengyun Sect, moreover, the entity present wasn’t even the true body, just an incarnation.
"Good swordsmanship, what a pity that you could only unleash the first thirty-two sword strikes. If you could execute the last thirty-two, my scales really couldn’t withstand it," Gu Shanhai lanted.
The thirty-two swords were thirty-two waves of sword light and shadow, each strike compounding the power of the last, growing stronger with each iteration. Sadly, while thirty-two accumulations were indeed enough to kill soone at the Purple Mansion stage, they fell far short of breaking through the Azure Dragon’s defenses. At least forty strikes would be needed to pose a threat to Gu Shanhai.
Gu Shanhai was one to return favors. Since the other had struck him with so many swords, he felt obliged to respond with a breath of Dragon Breath.
Mana Halo Dragon Breath coalesced and spewed forth from his mouth, but in the next instant, Shen Heng, wielding the Chaos Heaven Sword, closed in, thrusting the longsword into the mouth of the Azure Dragon with a plain and unadorned technique.
"Break!"
The sword qi exploded within the dragon’s mouth, disrupting even the Dragon Breath.
Regrettably, the explosion Shen Heng had anticipated did not occur. Instead, the Azure Dragon snapped shut its jaws, fracturing the Chaos Heaven Sword, with fragnts of the longsword bursting forth.
"Ptui, what were you thinking, poking a toothpick-like sword into my mouth," Gu Shanhai spat out several pieces of the broken sword, sowhat speechless.
Did Shen Heng really believe he hadn’t equipped the Azure Dragon with an ergency chanism? Besides, even if it did explode, it wouldn’t harm him, for the essence of Dragon Breath was a Mana Halo, capable of distinguishing friend from foe; an explosion would actually create an amplification zone that benefited him and attacked those not on the whitelist.
Shen Heng watched in disbelief as he looked at the broken sword in his hands, having never anticipated that the flying sword he possessed, once the property of a Peeping Dao Stage cultivator, would be so easily shattered by Gu Shanhai, even though the Chaos Heaven Sword’s power had waned to the Foundation Establishnt level.
Luckily for Shen Heng, Gu Shanhai was unaware of this, or else he surely would have mocked, ’You knew it had fallen to the Foundation Establishnt level, and it wasn’t wielded by soone at the peak of the Peeping Dao Stage, so being shattered by the Azure Dragon’s sturdy teeth makes perfect sense.’
Now, as the sword lights and shadows faded, Shen Heng appeared sowhat disconsolate; this was his first ti facing such a crushing defeat.
Gu Shanhai understood the protagonist’s ability to overpower enemies above his level and to show off triumphantly, but there had to be so logic to it. How could anyone win against an adversary as overpowered as him?
