Chapter 395 – Fusion of the Five Heavenly Grade Sword Techniques

Upon hearing Xue Ying's words, Meng Fan's expression remained unchanged.

To be honest, her response was pretty much what he had anticipated.

It wasn't that Meng Fan was arrogant, but he was indeed exceptional—this was beyond doubt.

The previous batches of fools from the Wu family who had come here couldn't even compare to Meng Fan.

However, Meng Fan wasn't naive enough to believe that the other party was telling the truth.

While it's debatable whether one should harbor ill intentions, one must always be cautious.

This Xue Ying claimed she wanted to make a deal with him, but who could guarantee she didn't have harmful intentions?

If it were some old monster, Meng Fan would definitely think the other party wanted to possess him, like... the old monk.

But a sword spirit didn't have the ability to possess humans.

After all, the souls of sword spirits and humans were fundamentally different.

No commonality!

Cases like Hong Qi, where a living person sacrifices themselves to become a sword spirit, were rare.

"How can I trust you?" Meng Fan asked, looking at Xue Ying.

Xue Ying raised her head, her big, watery eyes should have been adorable, but they were filled with coldness and indifference.

She calmly said to Meng Fan, "This isn't a difficult task for you, just a small effort in exchange for my help. You won't lose out.

As for your concerns, there's no need. I have no intention of harming you, let alone killing you.

Even if I wanted to kill you, I couldn't, because the divine sword you carry would protect you.

So, you can rest easy!"

Xue Ying spoke eloquently, trying to persuade Meng Fan.

Upon hearing this, Meng Fan frowned slightly. The divine sword she mentioned was undoubtedly the Azure Fish Sword.

This divine sword, passed down to him by the Sword Immortal of Alchemy, had never shown him any kindness. Would it really protect him?

Meng Fan remained skeptical.

But Xue Ying was unaware of this situation. In her view, since Meng Fan had a divine sword, it would naturally protect him.

Thinking this, Meng Fan shook his head and said, "You're trying to get something for nothing. If you want to make a deal, you need to earn my trust first."

Xue Ying furrowed her brows slightly, looked at Meng Fan for a moment, and then hesitantly asked, "Are you... asking for benefits?"

Meng Fan smiled and nodded.

"When you take something from someone, you owe them. If you offer me tangible benefits, I'll naturally believe you're sincere about the deal."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ying's already cold face became even more frosty.

She said coldly, "Aren't you afraid I'll get angry and kill you?"

To be honest, he was afraid.

But Meng Fan kept his expression calm and said, "You just said you couldn't kill me. Were you lying?"

Although Xue Ying looked like a little lolita, in terms of age, she was definitely at the level of an old monster, so calling her "senior" wasn't an exaggeration.

Xue Ying glared coldly at Meng Fan, not speaking, her eyes faintly filled with killing intent.

Although Meng Fan's face was handsome, she, as a sword spirit, had no appreciation for beauty and felt an urge to tear his face apart.

However, she suppressed this impulse.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and said coldly, "Fine, it's rare to meet someone with such exceptional talent in the Sword Dao. Giving you some benefits isn't impossible."

After the "little lolita" said this, the scene before Meng Fan's eyes changed, and he returned to the grand hall.

At the same time, a voice echoed in his mind.

"Place your hand on the outer sheath of the Xue Ying Sword."

As the voice fell, the giant sword above dropped heavily, landing in front of Meng Fan.

The sword's tip embedded into the stone slab, standing upright.

There was no doubt that this giant sword was just the "outer packaging." Meng Fan had already seen the true Xue Ying Sword in the consciousness space, which was extremely delicate and exquisite.

Following her instructions, Meng Fan placed his hand on the giant sword. He knew Xue Ying wouldn't deceive him in this situation; if she said she'd give him benefits, she would.

It was just a matter of how significant those benefits would be.

As he placed his hand on the giant sword, a familiar sensation washed over him.

It was similar to the feeling he had when he placed his hand on the Sword God Stele at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

The benefit Xue Ying mentioned was... enlightenment in the Sword Dao!

Although the Sword Dao contained in the Xue Ying Sword didn't reach the level of the Great Way of the Sword on the Sword God Stele, it was still an immense fortune for Meng Fan.

Most importantly, the Great Way of the Sword on the Sword God Stele was always present, allowing for gradual comprehension.

But the Sword Dao in the Xue Ying Sword was a one-time outpouring, vast in quantity!

In truth, this enlightenment of the Xue Ying Sword's Sword Dao was far more effective than a single session with the Sword God Stele.

Meng Fan focused his mind, held his breath, and began to fully immerse himself in the Sword Dao contained within the Xue Ying Sword.

Thanks to his previous experiences with the Sword God Stele, Meng Fan was very familiar with this kind of enlightenment and found it effortless!

The Sword Dao contained within the Xue Ying Sword didn't have a name, or perhaps it never had one.

But the essence of this Sword Dao could be summed up in one word.

[Speed]

Extreme speed!

Infinite speed!

In the world of martial arts, speed is the only unbreakable technique.

With this understanding, Meng Fan quickly mastered the Lightning Sword Technique, fully integrating it into the Myriad Swords As One.

This Lightning Sword Technique perfectly aligned with the essence of the Sword Dao within the Xue Ying Sword.

Most importantly, the Lightning Sword Technique wasn't an ordinary sword technique; it was a Heavenly Grade Sword Technique, the fifth Heavenly Grade Sword Technique Meng Fan had learned.

He had found this sword technique in the storage ring of Elder Zhang Hongfei from the Fengyun Demon Sect, and now it was proving useful.

After integrating the Lightning Sword Technique into Myriad Swords As One, Meng Fan didn't stop but continued to enhance Myriad Swords As One.

This opportunity was rare; he only had one chance to comprehend the Sword Dao of the Xue Ying Sword, unlike the Sword God Stele.

The Sword God Stele contained the complete Great Way of the Sword, eternally present for continuous enlightenment.

But the Sword Dao within the Xue Ying Sword would dissipate after Meng Fan's enlightenment.

In theory, it was incredibly precious!

But Xue Ying didn't care about it at all, and she had no intention of finding another master, so it was worthless to her.

Meng Fan had struck gold!

Immersed in the ocean of the Sword Dao, Meng Fan lost track of time. It felt like a second had passed, or perhaps a year, or even ten years...

Myriad Swords Art

Heavenly Sword

Free Wanderer's Godly Sword

One Sword Opens the Azure Sky

Lightning Sword Technique

Until all these Heavenly Grade Sword Techniques were fully integrated into Myriad Swords As One.

At this point, the power of Myriad Swords As One had undergone a qualitative leap.

It was now one step closer to the true Myriad Swords Returning to me.

Meng Fan even vaguely felt that Myriad Swords As One had touched the threshold of Immortal Grade Sword Techniques!

Immortal Grade Sword Techniques—this was an understanding he had never reached before, something that even the Shu Mountain Sword Sect might not possess.
