Chapter 222: Chapter 34 Yuan Jianyi

Under the incessant hammering of Gongye Baiduan, Qing Yu had not been able to rest properly for seven days. Now, at midnight, Qing Yu desperately needed to find a place to rest.

Alas, he wanted to leave, but someone wanted to keep him there.

"Sword Son, Yuan Jianyi." Qing Yu looked at the young man holding an ordinary iron sword and uttered his name.

In the Martial Arts world, among those who wielded ordinary iron swords, there was no second person with such fierce Sword Qi at such a young age, other than Yuan Jianyi.

"It is indeed I." The Sword Qi flowed around Yuan Jianyi’s iron sword, his intention to fight clear without words.

"You want to stop me?"

"Indeed, I wish to see what kind of outstanding swordsman a young man favored by Senior Gongye would be." As he spoke, the Sword Qi around Yuan Jianyi became even sharper, his fighting spirit boiling over.

’He really is as the rumors describe, a Sword Obsessed, waiting for me in the dead of night. It looks like he has been waiting for several days, otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited until this time to meet me.’

Qing Yu didn’t believe that Yuan Jianyi had come to take his sword. The sword had been forged and shared the same breath as Qing Yu, merging with his spirit; even if Yuan Jianyi managed to take it away, he would not be able to wield it as Qing Yu could.

Such a sword, which could not be wielded as desired, was something that Sword Palace, as the Sword Tao Holy Land, did not lack. If Yuan Jianyi needed such a sword that had had a Sword Master, he would not have to seek out Qing Yu to take it, but could simply speak to his sect. As an outstanding disciple of the Sword Palace, he would easily take whichever he desired.

’Just right, ’Eternal Brightness’ is newly complete. To test it with the ’Sword Son’ is not a bad idea.’

Thinking this, Qing Yu drew ’Eternal Brightness’ from his back and gave it a slight shake, causing the cloth wrapping the blade to fall apart in tatters, revealing the simple sword that radiated with sharp, compelling Sword Qi.

"Please!"

Yuan Jianyi made the first move, thrusting his iron sword plainly towards the chest. Although it seemed unremarkable, it was as fast as lightning, and its sharpness caused Qing Yu to feel an illusion-like sharp pain on its approach.

’Such a sharp Sword Intent...’

Qing Yu’s brows furrowed slightly, but his hand movements were decisive. ’Eternal Brightness’ split in two, becoming Dual Swords, implementing the "One Origin Rebirth Void".

With ’Eternal Brightness’ changing from one sword to Dual Swords, Qing Yu directly skipped the process of borrowing strength from the "One Origin Rebirth Void" dual swords forms, instantly splitting into sword moves with the power of both hands.

The Dual Swords crossed in front of his chest, sword edge to sword tip, directly challenging the edge of the iron sword.

At the first exchange, Qingyu’s Sword, supported by his True Qi, was like a dragon, its momentum unstoppable.

Although Yuan Jianyi’s Sword Qi was not as profound, it was extremely sharp—one point could penetrate defenses, standing up against Qing Yu.

At first glance, the two seemed evenly matched. Unfortunately, the gap in weapons was too great. Even if the iron sword was refined day and night by Yuan Jianyi’s Sword Qi, it still did not compare to ’Eternal Brightness,’ forged by the Sword Casting Master Gongye Baiduan after seven days and nights of ceaseless work.

The ability to injure with flying flowers and leaves would never occur between opponents of equal or superior strength.

Feeling that his sword was beginning to falter under the hard clash, Yuan Jianyi quickly withdrew, avoiding the edge of Qing Yu’s Treasure Sword, and countered with flexible swordplay.

"Ha ha, well done."

Yuan Jianyi indeed possessed capabilities that surpassed Qingxu’s. Just based on the unparalleled sharp Sword Qi just now, Qing Yu did not dare to be as unguarded as he was against Qingxu—attacking without defense, relying solely on "Innate Gang Qi" to withstand.

Therefore, Qing Yu too was ablaze with the desire to fight.

Breaking Chaos and Dividing Yin and Yang.

The Dual Swords suddenly separated and joined, and when joined, truly became One Sword, its sword momentum as One Element, a force so domineering that Yuan Jianyi dared not meet it head-on. When separated, the swords became like flying dragons, conjuring a sky full of sword shadows, covering the entire heavens.

Gongye Baiduan was truly worthy of the title of master. Whether the single sword or Dual Swords were merging or separating, there was not the slightest hindrance, allowing Qing Yu’s Taiyi Splitting Light Sword to reach its utmost potential.

A single person was like two, Dual Swords paired with unparalleled coordination. Such sword moves caught the eye of Yuan Jianyi, whose life’s belief was the sword. The iron sword shone with a bright white light, revealing a Sword Qi outside the blade itself, protecting the inferior iron sword.

Sword Light danced forth in direct thrusts and slashes, the sword moves straightforward, yet they always managed to find their target within the myriad of sword shadows, rendering Qingyu’s sword moves ineffective.

In the Sword Palace where Heart Sword intersected, moves were not valued, for the sword led by the heart was the greatest move of them all.

"Yuan Jianyi, the name ’Sword Son,’ is truly extraordinary. Come again, ’Traceless.’"

With the long sword in hand swinging, it vanished without a trace, reaching extreme speed. No sooner had the words been spoken than the sword was upon him.

Faced with such a Fast Sword, Yuan Jianyi remained with an expression calm as an ancient well, his iron sword as fast as lightning, striking with speed against speed, unexpectedly unleashing a Fast Sword himself. In a bout of swords, this ’Sword Son’ never fell short.

It is known that in the world, there are three great Sword Tao Holy Lands. Buried Sword Peak remains reclusive year-round, rarely does anyone emerge; hence, only Yu Jian Manor and the Sword Palace compete for fame.

And yet, Yuan Jianyi’s name, ’Sword Son,’ was hard fought through battles with the young generation of Yu Jian Manor.

Yu Jian Manor is skilled in various sword forms, possessing all manners of swordsmanship. Yuan Jianyi was able to defeat them all, naturally having methods to counter Fast Sword as well.

After the two had fought for a while, Yuan Jianyi suddenly found his sword momentum intensify, Sword Qi vast and endless, sharp edges pressing closely upon Qing Yu, who, after being slightly disadvantaged for a time, began to counterattack.

The sword followed his heart and arrived in an instant; the intensity of the sword momentum forced Qing Yu to take a defensive position.

"Zi——"

A harsh sound rang out, as the iron sword in Yuan Jianyi’s hand penetrated Qing Yu’s Protective Gang Qi, and was in the process of breaking through.

Qing Yu’s brow furrowed deeply. Now, he had finally realized just how sharp Yuan Jianyi’s sword was. Today, Qing Yu’s strength had greatly improved compared to when he faced Qingxu, and his Innate Gang Qi defense was now akin to Qingxu’s Four Symbols Cycle.

If Yuan Jianyi could break through today’s "Innate Gang Qi," then naturally, he would have no trouble breaking through the Four Symbols Cycle at the Innate Realm. As for the sharpness of the sword, Yuan Jianyi had reached the peak of his current Realm.

"Such a pity, your sword, it’s too weak!"

Withdrawing the attack he had prepared, Qing Yu stimulated his Innate Gang Qi to its peak, his Protective Gang Qi suddenly thickening several inches, and even twisting the tip of the iron sword that had penetrated the Gang Qi.

"Kaz——"

With a strange noise, the Gang Qi circulated and twisted the tip of the iron sword.

"You..." Yuan Jianyi formed his fingers into a sword, sword light emanating from them, thrusting at Qing Yu.

Qing Yu quickly retracted the Gang Qi that was strangling the iron sword and dodged to the side. The Gang Qi had concentrated around the iron sword, naturally leaving other areas less defended. In such a situation, Qing Yu dared not test Yuan Jianyi’s sword light.

Knowing well that to withstand such fierce Sword Qi, Yuan Jianyi’s physique was naturally not weak; the ability to bend iron with bare hands was no challenge for him. And with a body not any weaker than iron, his sword finger and the iron sword in his hand were of little difference.

To not dodge was to wait to be punctured with a hole by the sword light.
