Chapter 319: Chapter 188 The One Who Kills You, Sword God Xu Yan_2
 

From the initial sword rotations, which seemed somewhat illusory and seemingly imperfect, they became more and more solid and powerful as time went on.

Moreover, within the cycles of the sword rotations, the offense and defense were unpredictable, and the attacks were becoming more and more tricky. At one point, he even sensed a hint of an intent of death from a streak of sword light.

But his fierce attack was yet blocked by another streak of sword light, grand and unending, like an eternal force. Just when he thought it was merely a sword of defense, in an instant, it transformed into a sword of death.

He narrowly avoided having his arm severed by a sword!

As the battle progressed, Xu Yan’s enlightenment grew clearer. The sword rotation of life and death continued to improve, and at one moment, it rotated like yin and yang, forming in front of him.

The sword light gradually morphed into the dichotomy of black and white, and yet black and white kept changing, as if a new Sword Intent was being born.

However, he was ultimately a little short of grasping the Sword Intent of life and death.

“Today is a day of great harvest. I got the Storage Bag, entered the gateway of the sword rotation of life and death, remembered the King of Blood Evil, and the one who shall slay you, Sword God Xu Yan!”

The sword rotation of life and death in Xu Yan’s hand suddenly split apart, turning into two terrifying streaks of sword light, which in an instant, enveloped the King of Blood Evil within.

The sword light closed in a flash, alternating between life and death, and then thunderously slashed towards the King of Blood Evil!

“Thinking of killing me, kid, you’re far too arrogant!”

The King of Blood Evil’s eyes emitted a cold flash, and with a thunderous noise, a surge of blood light shot up into the sky, igniting the half-sky with blazing blood-red flames.

The hook was crimson as if it intended to rip open the sky.

The might of a half-step celestial being burst forth to its extreme at that moment.

He unleashed his most powerful secret technique.

The King of Blood Evil’s heart went cold as he felt an intense life-or-death crisis. Those two wheels of sword light were too perilous; they could slay him at any moment.

Even when he was surrounded and attacked by numerous powerful adversaries in the past, he had never felt such an intense sensation of a life-or-death crisis.

Shock filled his heart at how formidable this youth could be.

Daring not hesitate, he decisively executed a Martial Arts secret technique to save his life!

Thunderous rumbling!

The sword rotation of life and death came crashing down, with alternating cycles of killing and being killed, tearing through defenses, and cutting down attacks. No matter how frantically the King of Blood Evil retaliated, he could never escape the wheel of life and death.

A spurt of blood!

At one moment, when the sword rotation of life and death became one, a terrifying Sword Intent surged, as if transforming into the mountains and rivers. In that instant, life and death united, burying everything!

The consciousness of the King of Blood Evil was horrified as he watched his body turn to ash within the sword light.

What sword technique is this?

He was, after all, a half-step celestial being. Even though his physical body was gone, his spiritual consciousness had not been extinguished.

Xu Yan’s brows furrowed, sensing that elusive, intangible spiritual consciousness—was that the refined spiritual body of a Martial Arts celestial being?

“Annihilation of Soul! Indeed, once the strength reaches a certain realm, just killing the body doesn’t ensure the enemy is thoroughly dead, ah!”

Xu Yan inwardly sighed, no wonder his master had taught him early on to utterly destroy bones, scatter ashes, annihilate souls; without destroying the soul, the enemy might find a chance to escape!

The sword rotation spun, the Sword of Life and Death grinding away at that invisible spiritual body, the sword light becoming the Sword of Death, thoroughly extinguishing the spiritual body.

The King of Blood Evil falls!

After slaying the King of Blood Evil, Xu Yan couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. Although the King of Blood Evil was only a half-step celestial being, this indicated that a true Martial Arts celestial being might not be much stronger.

“Are there real Martial Arts celestial beings in the Inner Domain?”

Xu Yan showed a look of curiosity.

Up to now, the existence of Martial Arts celestial beings had never been reported in the Inner Domain; even half-step celestial beings were extremely rare and only known to the Martial Arts Realm within the Inner Domain.

Only those at the pinnacle, the Great Grandmasters, and top-tier powers were a bit aware.

Thus, it seemed that real Martial Arts celestial beings did not exist in the Inner Domain.

“If I could compete with a Martial Arts celestial being, my sword rotation of life and death could probably become more perfected.”

Xu Yan thought somewhat regretfully.

Then he became excited once more.

The long-coveted Storage Bag, he had finally obtained one!

He took the Storage Bag hanging from his waist, True Qi surged forth, prying open the mouth of the Storage Bag to peek inside, where a stack of Spirit Tickets and a small pile of Spirit Crystals lay.

“`

Apart from that, there were various bottles and jars, as well as Spiritual Medicines.

“Huo Tu, the Demon Lord, really is wealthy!” Xu Yan remarked after a rough inventory and became immediately excited. He was finally wealthy again.

The Storage Bag resembled a toad and hung at his waist as if he were carrying a little toad. The closed mouth of the toad was the opening of the Storage Bag.

When True Qi was infused, it could expand the opening and the bag itself, making it much more convenient to store and retrieve items.

Having smoothly secured the treasure collection of Huo Tu, the Demon Lord, and casually killed the Blood Fiend King to refine the Sword of Life and Death, Xu Yan didn’t linger and left the desolate mountain to set out for Canglan Island.

In a city, he located the communication base of Sword Venerate Cliff and sent a message to Xie Lingfeng for a meeting at Canglan Island.

“To avoid the major chaos and competition of Martial Arts in the Inner Domain and to transition to the Great Wilderness Martial Arts Techniques, research is essential. Only through this can the Great Wilderness replace the Inner Domain,” Xu Yan thought to himself.

As for how to transition from Inner Realm Martial Arts to Great Wilderness Martial Arts, he did not yet have a good method. Condensing True Qi was possible, but condensing True Qi alone did not equate to a complete transition to the new cultivation.

“The Martial Arts scholars of the Seven-star Study Palace are very knowledgeable about Inner Realm Martial Arts and have deeply researched. Perhaps by teaching them the Great Wilderness Martial Arts, they might research a method of transition?

“Or, by learning more about the essence of Inner Realm Martial Arts from them, I could also devise an intermediary method.” Xu Yan silently considered.

Since Xu Yan slayed a peak Great Grandmaster, no one dared to set foot on Canglan Island anymore. After the battle at the Evergreen Pavilion, and with Canglan Island falling under the jurisdiction of the Great Wilderness, although people passing over the Cang River would gaze longingly from afar, they did not dare draw near due to Xu Yan’s imposing presence.

It was not until Peng Yuan of the Seven-star Study Palace and seven other Martial Arts scholars arrived that Canglan Island saw inhabitants once more.

Having been at the Seven-star Study Palace for some time now, Peng Yuan and his group were always seen with a book, constantly studying and pondering or with pen and paper in hand, writing something down.

Their research of Martial Arts never ceased.

“Scholar Xu is here, please take a seat!” exclaimed Peng Yuan, who, upon seeing Xu Yan, rushed over excitedly with a chair for him to sit down.

Xu Yan held the title of Grand Scholar of Martial Arts at the Seven-star Study Palace, hence their address.

They all knew about the battle at the Evergreen Pavilion.

“You’re too kind, Scholar Peng,” Xu Yan said with a smile as he greeted him with a clasped fist.

Peng Yuan and the others were selected by him from a group of Martial Arts scholars, all truly immersed in the study of Martial Arts, which was clear from the dark circles under their eyes.

“Not a moment of Martial Arts research can be wasted. Scholar Xu, look, could it be possible with the Great Wilderness Martial Arts?” Peng Yuan’s group, despite their dark circles, had eyes that shone brightly, eagerly looking at Xu Yan with hopeful expressions.

“Alright, then let’s not waste any time.” Xu Yan produced a small booklet.

It was a Cultivation Technique for the foundation levels of Martial Arts, covering Skin Refinement, Bone Refinement, Viscera Refinement up to the Qi-Blood Realm.

“This is the foundational and introductory Cultivation Technique for Martial Arts. The scholars may take a look. Moreover, the Great Wilderness Martial Arts and the Martial Arts of the Inner Domain ultimately have their differences, and now many Martial Artists from the Inner Domain wish to transition, but are struggling to find a way.

“Scholars, you have spent your lives studying Inner Realm Martial Arts. Having understood the Great Wilderness Martial Arts, perhaps you could research a method for transitioning from Inner Realm Martial Arts to Great Wilderness Martial Arts.”

Peng Yuan and the others immediately became solemn. The emergence of Great Wilderness Martial Arts was a heavy blow to the Martial Arts Realm of the Inner Domain!

Various signs indicated that Great Wilderness Martial Arts were stronger than those of the Inner Domain. And which martial artist doesn’t pursue strength?

Once Great Wilderness Martial Arts begin to spread, major powers will become restless. Their strength lies not just in their foundations but also in the inheritance of Martial Arts Techniques, which are far superior to general Martial Arts Techniques.

This was the reason why the top powers were so formidable.

However, Great Wilderness Martial Arts could shake their foundations. Due to the shocking battle at the Evergreen Pavilion, these powers were deeply wary, which is why they had yet to take any action.

Once they recovered from the shock and felt the severe threat to their legacy’s survival, they would surely join together in an effort to seek a glimmer of hope!

The only way to lessen or avoid this significant dispute in Martial Arts was to introduce a method of transitioning. The powerhouses of the major powers, with their strong foundations, would maintain their advantages after successful transition.

In this way, they would not resort to risky challenges.

Heritage is essential, but a stronger Martial Arts Technique is evidently more important.

“Rest assured, Scholar Xu, we will give it our all, not just for the sake of others but also for ourselves. We will certainly try our best to research the method of transition,” Peng Yuan said earnestly.
