Chapter 385 – I once accidentally killed a Shu Mountain disciple

Cultivation levels can be deceiving, but combat strength cannot!

The combat strength of the young man in front of him made Wu Jin take him seriously.

"A sword cultivator from Shu Mountain, indeed extraordinary. It seems you were waiting for me on purpose. However, you're too arrogant. Do you really think that with your mere Condensation Pill Realm, you can contend with me?"

Although Wu Jin had begun to take Meng Fan seriously, he still couldn't believe that Meng Fan could defeat him.

As for killing him, that was simply a fool's dream.

"Whether I can contend with you or not, your expression has already given you the answer," Meng Fan said calmly.

Just as Meng Fan finished speaking.

"Clang~~~~" A Spiritual Sword was unsheathed.

After blocking Meng Fan's Thunder Demon Sword Soul, Wu Jin immediately switched from defense to offense, slashing towards Meng Fan.

He had already felt that striking first was the best strategy.

Drawing a sword in front of a Shu Mountain sword cultivator was somewhat like showing off one's skills before an expert, but Wu Jin didn't think so.

The Wu family's sword techniques were certainly not as good as Shu Mountain's, that was beyond doubt.

But he didn't believe that a mere disciple like Meng Fan could represent the entirety of Shu Mountain.

A streak of sword light blossomed in the night sky over the back mountain of Shu Mountain, incredibly dazzling.

To be fair, Wu Jin's sword techniques were indeed much stronger than Wu Xingxing's, and this strength was not just a matter of having a higher cultivation level.

For one thing, Wu Xingxing's sword techniques hadn't reached the level of Sword Soul.

However, in Wu Jin's strike, Meng Fan saw the shadow of a Sword Soul!

Sword Soul was nothing new to Meng Fan; he had encountered it back in the Heavenly Origin Realm, and now he was fully immersed in it.

But for a cultivation family like the Wu family, Sword Soul was still a rare thing.

Reaching the third level of Summoning God and being able to touch upon Sword Soul was indeed impressive, even excellent!

Meng Fan could foresee that Wu Jin's status in the Wu family was definitely not low, perhaps even a pillar of support.

Unfortunately, after tonight, Wu Jin would no longer be that pillar.

"Years ago, I used this very sword to defeat a disciple of your Shu Mountain Sword Sect."

As he slashed out, Wu Jin couldn't help but boast about his sword.

"Back then, my sword technique was too strong, and I accidentally killed that Shu Mountain disciple.

You just said I covered my face, implying I wasn't confident in killing you, that I was holding back.

Now that I'm telling you this, it proves my determination to kill you.

The sword that killed that Shu Mountain disciple back then can kill you today as well!"

This was a secret Wu Jin had buried in his heart for years, concealed flawlessly.

If it were revealed that he had killed a Shu Mountain disciple, he would be doomed.

After all, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was a colossal force, and even the entire Wu family was nothing before it, let alone a mere Wu Jin.

Therefore, at this moment, he had to kill the young man in front of him.

It had come to a life-and-death situation!

Thinking of this, Wu Jin's eyes turned slightly red, his True Essence surged and exploded, and his Divine Sense was fully unleashed.

The sword that was already his full-strength strike was now forcibly enhanced by another thirty percent under this madness!

However, even if it were enhanced by thirty percent, or even a hundred percent, it wouldn't matter.

Despite Wu Jin's higher cultivation level, his attack power was truly lacking.

Meng Fan raised his hand, and the Black Jade Sword slashed out again.

[One Sword Opens the Azure Sky]

This sword technique, stolen from Ghost King Sect's Clan Master Li Fanchen, had been enhanced by the Sword God Stele and the meditation cushion space, making it no weaker than a genuine Heavenly Grade Sword Technique.

In fact, it could be considered Meng Fan's strongest single-target attack.

Emphasis on single-target!

Whether it was the Myriad Swords Art or Myriad Swords As One, those were all group attacks.

Wu Jin's sword was a Spiritual Sword.

But Meng Fan's sword was a Dao Sword.

There was even a level of [Law Sword] in between.

So, despite Wu Jin's higher cultivation level, he lagged far behind Meng Fan in terms of Sword Dao, sword techniques, and sword weapons.

Cultivation level was only a part of combat strength.

Sword Dao, sword techniques, and sword weapons had just as much impact on one's strength as cultivation level.

Two streaks of sword light blossomed under the night sky, their brilliance completely overshadowing the moonlight.

A trace of seriousness appeared on Meng Fan's face because he clearly felt that the opponent's strike was faintly overpowering his One Sword Opens the Azure Sky.

The difference was slight, only marginally stronger, but it could be considered a draw.

Neither could harm the other!

While Meng Fan's face showed seriousness, Wu Jin's face was filled with shock.

His full-strength strike, the peak strike of his third-level Summoning God cultivation, couldn't crush this young man and was blocked?

Unbelievable!

At this moment, Wu Jin found himself in a difficult position.

He vaguely sensed that he might not be able to kill the young man tonight.

If he couldn't kill him, having revealed his face and the secret of having killed a Shu Mountain disciple, tomorrow would spell his doom.

Thinking of this, Wu Jin's eyes filled with blood, he gritted his teeth hard, even breaking his molars.

He swallowed the teeth and blood, then reversed his True Essence, activating a special technique.

This technique was something he had obtained during his travels and did not belong to the Wu family.

He had always kept it a secret from the Wu family.

Because it was a demonic technique!

Once activated, it would harm the enemy a thousand times but injure oneself eight hundred times.

Reversing True Essence was a taboo, and such techniques had a common trait: they had a hint of self-destruction.

Using such a technique could unleash terrifying power in a short time, but the side effects were equally terrifying.

For Wu Jin, activating this technique would cause his cultivation level to drop to the Condensation Pill Realm.

From then on, his cultivation would never advance.

He would be stuck at the Condensation Pill Realm for life!

This was an extremely terrifying price to pay, one that no one would willingly bear.

Only in desperate situations would someone use such a technique.

Wu Jin was now in such a desperate situation. If he couldn't kill Meng Fan tonight, and the news got out tomorrow, he would be dead for sure.

So he had no choice but to fight to the death!

"Meng Benefactor, the guy opposite you is using a self-harming technique. His cultivation will surge for a short time, so be careful.

But if you can hold on for a while, once his surge passes, his cultivation will drop, and he'll be at your mercy!"

The old monk immediately saw through Wu Jin's actions and warned Meng Fan.

Meng Fan's gaze was cold and stern, without a response.

Even without the old monk's reminder, he could see this from the surging aura emanating from Wu Jin.

But this was just courting death!
