Chapter 312: Chapter 124 Battle with Yuan Jianyi

The sword’s edge was upon him, yet Qing Yu remained undaunted.

Indeed, Yuan Jianyi’s Sword Qi was dense and pure, to the point that even the "Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill" struggled to find its weaknesses. One could only foresee and dodge in advance, or simply face it head-on.

But that referred to Yuan Jianyi’s Sword Qi.

Not the iron sword currently enveloped by the Sword Qi.

If the Sword Qi was dense and flawless, the physical iron sword it enveloped tainted its purity, akin to impurities mixed into clear water—the significant kind.

With sudden action, Qing Yu’s right hand seized the blade slashing toward his forehead. Before the Sword Qi could break through his Gang Qi and bodily defenses, his palm’s Qi Force vibrated the blade countless times within a breath’s span, shattering the iron sword within the Sword Qi into dozens of fragments.

Without its core, the surrounding Sword Qi was easily dispersed, and the fragments of the iron sword scattered on the lush grass below, leaving only a bare sword handle in Yuan Jianyi’s grasp.

"Brother Yuan, I’ve told you, without abandoning your sword, you simply cannot defeat me."

As he spoke, Qing Yu pushed a palm toward Yuan Jianyi, "Unity."

After penetrating the essence of the Heart Dharma with the "Mountain Scripture," Qing Yu’s grasp on Qi Force was even more to his liking. Now, he could accommodate as many as two hundred and sixty different types of Qi Force in a single palm.

Yuan Jianyi was close at hand, and with Qing Yu’s speed, a miss was impossible. Moreover, the Unity Technique was something not even Yuan Jianyi, whose sword body had been tempered by Sword Qi to such an extent, could match.

A palm strike hit the right shoulder, and not even the Sword Qi that Yuan Jianyi’s body automatically released could withstand the indomitable "Unity." Even with Yuan Jianyi’s innate Sword Bone, the bones in his shoulder were riddled with cracks from the impact, rendering his arm powerless.

Had Qing Yu not deliberately targeted the shoulder but the heart instead, Yuan Jianyi would be dead or severely wounded by now.

With just a simple exchange of offense and defense, Yuan Jianyi’s right arm was already rendered useless. This was the price for his prior arrogance. Had he abandoned the iron sword that limited his Sword Qi, Qing Yu would not have injured him so effortlessly.

Despite the heavy blow, Yuan Jianyi was not annoyed; instead, his eyes blazed with even fiercer battle intent, excited at encountering a worthy opponent.

Immediately, a piercingly sharp Sword Qi burst forth from his body, plowing countless deep sword marks into the green grass. Yuan Jianyi had finally begun to use his full strength.

"You’re only the second man to injure me besides Shi Jue," Yuan Jianyi exclaimed with an excited tone.

His physique, capable of withstanding his own Sword Bone and unharmed by its Sword Qi, meant that techniques less powerful than his Sword Qi had no chance of harming his formidable body.

Since his emergence, among the younger generation, only Qing Yu and Shi Jue had managed to injure him.

This gave Yuan Jianyi an unparalleled feeling of...

"Excitement."

His right hand could not exert force, but with Yuan Jianyi’s sophisticated simplicity in swordplay, he didn’t need excessive movements; his left hand alone could exert full power. And who said one can only use hands?

Using both hands to wield a sword is necessary to hold the weapon, but Yuan Jianyi made his body the sword; the body itself was the sword, with no need to rely on arms.

Yuan Jianyi’s head tilted slightly back as his hairpin was sliced away by the surging Sword Qi, leaving his hair disheveled. Then, with a light flick, myriads of Sword Qi burst from countless strands of his hair in a dance, intricately interwoven like a ferocious storm shooting towards Qing Yu.

Faced with an assault of Sword Qi like a Heaven and Earth Net, Qing Yu brought his hands together in a void, and golden mist spilled out from acupoints all around him. Two gold True Qi Divine Dragons appeared faintly within the mist.

"Qi Dual Flow·Soul Dragon Travel."

If we’re talking about the wide range of attack, Qing Yu himself believed that "Soul Dragon Travel" was no weaker than any other move, and with "Qi Dual Flow" to enhance it, what did it matter if the Sword Qi was incomparably sharp?

In an instant, Dragon Swarming Qi and the rain-like Sword Qi collided. The golden True Qi Divine Dragon was pierced by the Sword Qi, creating countless tiny holes. However, with the enhancement of the mist, it was once again repaired and continued to strike at the Sword Qi with the vigor of a spirited dragon.

Qing Yu’s figure was enveloped by endless golden clouds. As the Sword Qi entered the clouds, it disappeared without a trace, like a bull entering the sea. While the golden clouds might seem decorative, they were immensely powerful. One only had to see the cracked grassland, pressed down by the clouds, to understand their substance was no mere facade.

Seeing that the Sword Qi released from his hair was ineffective, Yuan Jianyi raised his left hand high, his fingers came together, palm edging forward, "Open."

A gigantic sword’s illusion appeared around Yuan Jianyi, enveloping him entirely. The illusion stood upon the ground, towering several fathoms high, daunting to any onlooker.

Yuan Jianyi swung his left hand down, and the mountain-like sword shadow descended with the weight of Mount Tai, bringing infinite sharpness and pressing downwards directly.

Such a formidable presence was enough to make even Qing Yu feel a bit startled.

As the sword shadow chopped down, the Dragon Swarming Qi was dispersed by the powerful Sword pressure. The two golden Divine Dragons were instantly cleaved in two, and the Sword Qi within turned their four halves into scattered True Qi, disappearing into the air.

And the focal point of this sword shadow was precisely where Qing Yu was. Although Qing Yu’s figure was obscured by the Dragon Swarming Qi, with Yuan Jianyi’s Transparent Sword Heart, he could detect Qing Yu’s position accurately.

However...

This overly solid sword strike wasn’t able to extend any sword momentum outward, making it impossible for Qing Yu to escape. Perhaps the speed of this sword might compensate for this flaw, but it could only be effective against those whose speed was not fast enough.

The figure blurred for a moment, and Qing Yu’s True Body still vanished from the spot, leaving behind only an afterimage.

The massive sword shadow split the afterimage in two, and its remaining force carved a sword mark on the ground, stretching several fathoms long and nearly three meters deep.

"Not bad for power."

Qing Yu, who was moving towards Yuan Jianyi, glanced at the sword mark below and made such an assessment.

"Qiankun Great Shifting."

An overwhelming, formless force drew in everything from the grassland; the blades of grass, large swathes of dirt, and of course, including Yuan Jianyi standing on the grassland.

Yuan Jianyi was helplessly sucked up a foot from the ground, then he emitted Sword Qi, and his entire body turned into a sword shape, piercing through the Qi Force and escaping the range of "Qiankun Great Shifting."

"Together."

Qing Yu compressed the grass and dirt with "Qiankun Great Shifting" into a black mud ball as long as an ordinary person, pushing it while pursuing Yuan Jianyi.

The two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, rushed towards the broad and tranquil Mingjing Lake.

In the process, Yuan Jianyi’s figure skimmed past a small pavilion by the lake. The fierce Sword Qi leaked out, splitting the small pavilion straight into two halves. The debris of the pavilion was absorbed by Qing Yu, who followed with "Qiankun Great Shifting," integrating it into the mud ball, causing it to grow in volume.

After flying over Mingjing Lake, Yuan Jianyi stepped on the lake surface, setting off countless splashes, "Water Drop Sword."

Sword Qi was embedded within countless droplets, turning them into tiny Water Swords, flying towards the black sphere hurtling through the air.

"Shew, shew, shew—"

Countless Water Swords. A single droplet couldn’t penetrate the black ball, but countless droplets together could carve through stone.

Reacting passively was never Yuan Jianyi’s style. Now, he struck back once again.
