Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Just Aspiring to Be Dual Masters of Sword and Saber

Since he began practicing the sword, Duan Yun had never doubted his one-in-ten-thousand martial arts talent.

The facts had proven that he was indeed such a prodigy!

The words he said to the Murong brothers, aside from containing some provocations, were all true.

This "Twelve Layers of Spring Rain" that the Murong brothers couldn’t grasp led to five tragic and unforgettable blood-spattered disasters, but he wouldn’t experience that.

Because his father was down in his luck, there was no chance for him to have a half-sister born of the same father, and he was the true one-in-ten-thousand cultivation genius!

He really wanted to know what was so mystical about such an abnormal sabersmanship technique.

Unfortunately, his attempt was in vain.

Even though it was just autumn, the Murong brothers had already, like snakes, entered hibernation once again.

Indeed, since that night he drank and chatted with him, the other had been lying there without moving again.

He even saw a small spider crawling in and out of the other’s nostrils without him moving.

Duan Yun suspected that the other might have defecated and urinated, but he had not seen it.

Since the other did not want to teach, Duan Yun did not force him, after all, he was a young hero with integrity, not some demonic thief, so he could only challenge himself to create new sword techniques.

For five consecutive days, Duan Yun practiced his swordmanship by moonlight at night.

It must be said, this area near the graveyard was indeed different from other places; he always felt that the night wind carried a chill, as if something was blowing on his neck.

At those times, Duan Yun couldn’t help but look towards where the Murong brothers were sleeping.

He thought about the other sleeping in such a place, picturing himself starving to death, and found it a very desolate feeling.

The Murong brothers were truly pitiable, he thought of sharing their pain, but they would not appreciate it.

At night, he crazily absorbed the moonlight to refine his True Qi, and during the day, Duan Yun, braving a headache, began to delve into "Breaking Body Sword Energy."

Breaking Body Sword Energy could shoot out from various parts of the body, but it had a drawback - its power was far less than that of Jade Sword Finger and Water Moon Slash.

In the backyard, Duan Yun was seen walking among the long grass.

As he moved, Breaking Body Sword Energy continuously overflowed from his body, causing the surrounding long grass to scatter and break.

This made Duan Yun think of a lawnmower.

Now, he was like a humanoid lawnmower.

Suddenly, a black shadow darted out, and Duan Yun, with quick eyes and hands, stabbed downward with his sword.

A black and yellow snake was nailed to the ground by him.

The sword pinned the snake’s tail, so the snake, approximately as thick as three fingers, kept struggling, even attempting to attack Duan Yun.

The vitality of snakes is incredibly resilient; Duan Yun had once seen a snake’s heart dug out, thrown on the ground, and still beating for a long time.

Duan Yun stepped closer, and countless fine sword silk like energies immediately overflowed, stabbing towards the snake.

Hiss hiss hiss...

There were both the intense sounds of the snake flicking its tongue and the sword Qi continually striking the snake’s body.

It took a full period of an incense stick burning for this sword silk energy to break through the snake’s defenses, completely killing it.

Watching this scene, Duan Yun thought of a term - "Gua Sha."

Killing a snake like this took so long, if Breaking Body Sword Energy were to kill a person, how long would it have to "scrape."

Duan Yun could feel that the limit of Breaking Body Sword Energy was temporarily just this - purely relying on density and frequency to achieve victory; otherwise, it couldn’t even kill a snake.

It could be said to be effective against mosquitoes, but for creatures the size of this snake, it was somewhat reluctant.

This snake, with its unfading eyes in death and its skin penetrated beyond recognition, if it hadn’t been pinned by the tail earlier, it probably wouldn’t have been "lingered" to death in such a manner.

For a moment, Duan Yun found himself in a deadlock.

He, the one-in-ten-thousand sword dao prodigy, had encountered a bottleneck.

Duan Yun was very clear that what was limiting his performance was the strength of the Jade Sword True Qi as well as his own body.

Breaking Body Sword Energy did not pass through fixed meridians; instead, it shot out directly from the body’s flesh and skin. His body’s skin and flesh couldn’t adapt to coarser Sword Qi, so he could only gather sword silk to form the scraping effect.

How to solve this problem?

Duan Yun looked at the dead snake with unfading eyes and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a stroke of supreme wisdom flashed through his enlightened brain.

Breaking Body Sword Energy, Breaking Body Sword Energy, he had always been immersed in the thought of Sword Qi breaking out from all over the body, why not focus for a moment?

The Sword Qi of the Jade Sword Finger spurts out through the meridians from the fingers, and the Water Moon Sword Energy follows the same principle.

Then why not develop new pathways to unleash powerful Sword Qi?

For example, the toes?

If the fingers can shoot out Sword Qi, why not the toes?

The elbow works too!

It’s only natural for me to launch a Sword Qi with a blow of the elbow—an unarrived elbow strike piercing through a man.

"There’s something here! Definitely something here!"

As a one-in-ten-thousand Sword Dao genius, Duan Yun decides to just do it.

He decides to start with the toes.

Not just piercing through flesh and blood, but finding a relatively reasonable meridian that can bear more intense Sword Qi for shooting.

Duan Yun closed his eyes, sinking his breath into his Dantian.

He entered a profound state, his Sea of Consciousness sinking into his body.

In an instant, all the meridian acupoints throughout his body were projected into the Sea of Consciousness.

Unconsciously, Duan Yun had entered the state of "Sitting and Observing Oneself."

After training with the Jade Sword True Understanding and the Breaking Body Sword Energy, no one understood the body and the meridians better than him!

If the Jade Sword Finger allows the Jade Sword True Qi to flow successively through the acupoints "Hand Five Miles," "Pianyang," and "Shangyang" before bursting out.

Then he now has to find a new pathway that lets the Jade Sword True Qi burst out from the toes.

This is difficult, just like there was no path before, and you have to forge one yourself.

Even Duan Yun, who is a one-in-ten-thousand Sword Dao prodigy, has to spend a huge amount of energy and many times the effort.

An hour later, Duan Yun opened his eyes and kicked out with his right foot.

Whoosh—a stream of silvery-white Sword Qi shot out from the big toe, piercing through the wall like it was tofu.

"It worked!"

Duan Yun took a long breath out.

It took him a full two hours to barely find this meridian pathway, which shows the difficulty of the task.

But Duan Yun also felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

As a Sword Dao genius, it became only logical for him to kick out Sword Qi with his toe.

But excitement aside, Duan Yun encountered a somewhat painful point.

His right shoe was broken, revealing the big toe that had just shot out Sword Qi.

Damn, I forgot to take off my shoes!

This kick that shot out Sword Qi, especially when used together with the Jade Sword Finger, was more unexpected and unstoppable, but ultimately it had a huge weakness.

It’s shoe-wasting!

In the future, when fighting, he’d have to toss off his shoes first, then kick out Sword Qi with his foot.

However, after all is said and done, this self-created Swordsmanship technique had succeeded, so Duan Yun had to name it.

Since shooting out Sword Qi with the fingers is called "Jade Sword Finger," then shooting it out with the toes will be called "Toe Sword!"

With the initial success of the Toe Sword, Duan Yun did not stop there but chose to delve deeper.

He wanted the Jade Sword Immortal to synchronize with himself!

"Embrace Sparrow Tail!"

Behind Duan Yun, the Jade Sword True Qi sprinkled out, forming the White Silk Jade Sword Immortal Dharma Image.

The next moment, he kicked out his foot, and the Jade Immortal Sword with the White Silk Jade Foot behind him followed suit with a kick.

Two Toe Swords shot out simultaneously, and with a snap, they shattered the body of the black snake.

It worked!

The Toe Sword was nearly perfected; next would be the Elbow Sword, what if the Elbow Sword succeeded?

Unable to resist, Duan Yun thought again of Murong brothers’ saber technique "Twelve Layers of Spring Rain."

He really wanted to grasp that cursed saber technique to see if it would be miraculously effective for him, a true one-in-ten-thousand Cultivation prodigy.

No, he still needed to seek out Murong brothers to try it out; his current Cultivation Techniques were still too monotonous. Mastery of both sword and saber would better suit his identity as a Young Hero.
