Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 481 - 438: The Sword Qi Thunder Sound of the Taiyin Swordsman

"Dari Swordsman, you are nothing like a Sword Cultivator at all,"

"You skulk in the shadows, ambushing others, lacking a brave and fearless heart."

Taiyin Swordsman put away the white bear doll she had been holding and placed it into her storage bracelet with a light hum, "You have been tainted by the Eastern Devil School. If you repent now and join the Taiyin Sword Sect, it is not too late. You might even have hopes of Refining Nothingness in the future."

The core of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond Array did not recognize her.

She was trying to acquire it through another method.

"Wishful thinking,"

"Even your own Refining Nothingness is not guaranteed to succeed."

Jiang Ding rolled his eyes, "I'm sure the moment you ascend to Divinity Transformation, swift oppression from the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, Shadow Demon Abyss, and Five Elements Heavenly Sect, among others, will descend upon you, and the Qingmu Immortal Sect won't be able to protect you."

"No one wants to see the Taiyin Sword Master rise again."

"Even more, in a darker thought, the Life Flying Sword in your possession might contain something that hinders Refining Nothingness. The Qingmu Immortal Sect would never allow the Taiyin Sword Sect to slip from their control."

"Pah!"

"Such a petty mind!"

Yu Qianzi retorted sarcastically, "The Eastern Devil School bases itself on army formations and the power of the masses, and it never tolerates overly strong individual powers. The feelings of Cultivators are fickle and unpredictable; any kind of moral values are useless."

"So it's your Flying Sword that has been tampered with for control."

"Heh, believe what you will."

"Now, let's talk about serious matters."

Jiang Ding stared into her bright, sparkling eyes and said faintly, "Due to your hostile identity as a disciple of the Taiyin Sword Sect, and because you have occupied my Moon Creek River cultivation spot without permission,"

"You need to compensate."

"I'm not asking for much, just the inheritance of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion held by the Taiyin Sword Sect."

"Will you give it to me or not?"

The inheritance of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion was very important to him.

He had the Core Formation Secret Technique now, but the Infant Formation Secret Art was still a distant dream. Having the relevant inheritance would greatly accelerate the research and development process of the Xianmen Sect.

"I won't give it."

Yu Qianzi said outright.

"Then you are a rogue, a thief."

Jiang Ding said expressionlessly, "Now, I'm informing you, your criminal behavior has been exposed. It's best you submit quietly to my custody and be handed over to the Xianmen law enforcement department."

"Don't worry, the Xianmen law enforcement is well-known for its fairness, justice, and transparency. They will not wrong a good person."

"If you are truly innocent, they will let you go."

"A thief?"

Yu Qianzi's nose twisted in anger, somewhat in disbelief.

"Did you just call me a thief?"

She had emerged from the vicious killings within the Qingmu Immortal Sect and had experienced numerous conspiracies and tricks as well as encountered all kinds of elite members from various sects, some cheerful and honest, others cunning and deceitful.

But she had never met anyone who outright called her a thief from the start.

She had not even heard of such a thing!

"That's right!"

Jiang Ding proclaimed confidently.

This was his home, and everything here belonged to him.

This was a fact certified personally by the core of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond Array, beyond any doubt.

"Remember, your crime of resisting the law is increased by one degree!"

Boom!

The Taiqing Flying Sword tore through the air, a textbook thrust. After two years of guidance from the core of the Heavenly Pond Array, it had acquired an extra hint of seamless perfection, making it thirty percent faster than when facing An Tuzi.

"Hmph! Shameless scoundrel!"

Yu Qianzi hummed lightly, the slight affection that had instinctively risen between them due to the innate attraction of day and night instantly vanished.

Whoosh!

The Moon-White Sword Shadow met the Taiqing Flying Sword head-on, offense meeting offense, with sparks scattering in the clash of blades.

Day, Moon!

Behind both individuals, the ethereal silhouettes of the Blue Gold Big Sun and the divine Moon emerged respectively.

Ding ding ding!

In an instant, the two Flying Swords clashed thousands of times, with the sounds of metal striking metal merging into a continuous ring.

Taiyin Sword Intent and Sword Intent of Destruction clashed fiercely.

The sky one moment was icy cold like a prison, all things frozen, and the next moment the Scorching Sun was in the sky, the light of spirit-breaking and Law-destroying shining down, turning all things to ashes.

The originally vibrant banks of Moon Creek River instantly faced an apocalypse, everywhere ruins, everywhere flames, not a trace of life left.

Ding!

A piercing sound of sword chime.

A Bluegold Flying Sword was slashed away, its Spiritual Light flickering uncertainly, fleeing backward in disarray.

The Moon White Flying Sword radiated brightly, casting a cool and gentle moonlight above and below.

"Such mediocre swordsmanship!"

"Dari Swordsman?"

Yu Qianzi let out a breath of disgust and mocked mercilessly, "I have never seen any Dari Swordsman with swordsmanship this poor, Yue, look again, there must be some mistake."

She was still trying to convince the core of the Great Sun Heavenly PondArray.

No response.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Ding's face darkened.

His swordsmanship had now reached the level of a core disciple of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, surpassing that of the Zhuanlun Swordsman of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, so it wasn't considered weak.

However, compared to the Swordsmen of the Daymoon Sword Pavilion's Moon Vein, and the historical Dari Swordsmen, he was indeed far behind.

"Split!"

Jiang Ding pointed with his finger.

The retreating Taiqing Flying Sword buzzed and trembled, and in a blur, it suddenly diversified into eight identical Bluegold Flying Swords. Between the nine Flying Swords, azure patterns like virtual lines bloomed, and a large swath of Bluegold Sword Qi sparked to life and vanished.

Magnetic Field Spirit Power Gathering Formation!

This was a formation he'd been exposed to from the Qi Practicing Phase and had since become extremely proficient in, using it instinctively now in combination with the azure magnetic patterns between his eyebrows, turning into a Sword Formation in an instant and spreading over a range of ten kilometers.

The girl in the Moon-White Fairy Skirt was caught off-guard and engulfed within the magnetic field Sword Formation.

"The Divine Soul amplification ability of the Taiqing Flying Sword!"

Yu Qianzi showed a hint of envy, which she quickly concealed.

"Sword-light Diversification?"

"I can do that too!"

She pouted.

Hum!

The Moon White Flying Sword split into nine, as streaks of moon-colored Array Patterns spread through the Sword Formation, with a misty Sword Qi accompanied by fog emerging, moonlight converging, turning the nine kilometers around her into a world within the moon.

Boom!

The two great Sword Formations collided in a split second, the Soul-shattering Annihilation Art's Bluegold Sword Qi and the freezing Moon-White Sword Qi flooded towards each other like tides, clashing fiercely, and annihilating each other.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Ding frowned.

The gap in swordsmanship became even more apparent amidst the Sword Formation's onslaught.

Despite both having thousands of Sword Qi streaks, and even with the additional sharpness due to the combined reinforcement of Law Immortal Gold and Taiqing Spirit Iron, the Bluegold Sword Qi, which thrived in slashing souls and annihilating spirits, howled as it struck towards the sky.

Yet the result was that the Moon White Sword Qi of the same quantity, controlled so exquisitely within the Sword Formation and coupled with layers of illusions, quickly gained the upper hand as they clashed, the Bluegold Sword Qi splintering and collapsing without much resistance.

The Magnetic Field Spirit Power Gathering Sword Formation was being devoured and annihilated at an inconceivable speed, completely reversing the advantage in power and sharpness.

"That's all there is."

"Surrender! Dari Swordsman."

Yu Qianzi felt greatly assured and looked at the young man in blue within the Sword Formation, magnanimously saying, "As long as you beg for mercy from me, apologize sincerely, I will take you to the Qingmu Immortal Sect, where the people from Xuanwu tiangong can't find you."

With a flick of her slender hand.

Kang!

A faint sound of sword chime, dim and hazy, carrying terrifying illusions that could lead one to lose their mind.

And then,

Boom!

The Moon White Flying Sword suddenly surged in speed, far surpassing its previous velocity, slashing towards the young man's chest at a terrifying speed that was almost immediate.

The second realm of the Sword Dao, Sword Qi Thunder Sound!

A sudden burst of lethal intent gave no chance for reaction, the sword drawn was meant to claim the enemy's life on the spot.
