Chapter 54: Chapter 54, Second Sword
Translator: 549690339
Faced with Xiao Chen’s indifference and cold gaze, Yun Feiyan did not get angry. She gently gathered her long hair that draped over her chest, let out a soft laugh, and looked incredibly charming.
“Little brother, it seems you know a bit about the history from eight hundred years ago. However, have you ever considered that what you know might just be fragments and not the whole picture? Or even that what you know is not the truth!”
“Demoness, do you really think I’m trying to discuss history with you from hundreds of years ago? And your insignificant schemes to bewitch me, how truly arrogant and conceited!”
Xiao Chen disdainfully snorted, and with a flick of his finger, the three-foot-long sword emitted a crisp sword sound.
The sound of the sword resonated, instantly shattering the enchanting atmosphere around them.
The smile on Yun Feiyan’s face gradually faded, turning serious as she slowly said, “The gap between the True Qi Realm and the Meridian Passage Realm is far beyond your imagination, and not everyone can fight above their level like your companion.”
“Moreover, 1 am not some rootless thug like Qin Meng; are you sure you want to fight me?”
Xiao Chen was expressionless, unafraid, as his right hand gripped the sword hilt tightly. His True Qi surged within his body, and the blade flickered with a cold light.
Seeing this, Yun Feiyan finally showed a hint of anger, and hummed coldly. A wave of her sleeve, and she soared towards Xiao Chen like a shadow, her jade hand gripping a pale blue longsword.
Xiao Chen thrust his sword forward, and in the silent black night, the sword tips collided and rang out with a series of sharp, crisp sounds.
Although his swordsmanship was strong, it was not enough to withstand the head-to-head collision. Xiao Chen was sent flying back.
Yun Feiyan followed closely, and sword Qi bloomed on her blue longsword, cutting through the dark night that enveloped White-Head Mountain.
As Xiao Chen retreated, he successively stabbed several swords, hitting the sharp sword Qi that bloomed in the darkness one after another.
Eventually, Yun Feiyan took advantage of the opportunity, and as she thrust her sword forward, her left hand formed a palm, striking Xiao Chen’s chest and leaving a black mark.
Xiao Chen was sent flying like a kite, but at the last moment, his sword stabbed out, hitting Yun Feiyan’s right-side bladder space.
Yun Feiyan clenched her teeth and covered her chest, crimson blood flowing out between her jade-like fingers. Xiao Chen, on the other hand, staggered as he landed, his face turning from red to white, and then from white to green. His lips were a blackened color.
Yun Feiyan’s palm strike was not only incredibly powerful, but it also contained a freezing poison. If an ordinary Martial Artist in the Meridian Passage Realm were to take the strike, they would likely die on the spot.
Even though Xiao Chen’s swordsmanship talents were exceptional, and his strength was not inferior to a Martial Artist in the True Qi Realm, it was impossible for him to remain unscathed.
Yun Feiyan mobilized her True Qi to seal the meridians within the range of her chest to prevent further blood flow. Then, she looked at Xiao Chen, who had been injured by her Sky Cold Palm strike.
Instead of being severely injured or completely incapacitated, as she had imagined, Xiao Chen stood silently in place, his eyes closed. He switched to gripping his sword with both hands, holding it vertically in front of his chest, with the sword tip pointing upwards.
Yun Feiyan frowned, wondering what kind of sword technique this was to hold the sword with both hands, sacrificing the flexibility, agility, and speed advantages of his swordsmanship.
Based on Xiao Chen’s previous battles, it was his ultra-fast speed, agile body movements, and extremely high-level swordsmanship that allowed him to kill dozens of people in White Cloud Villa without sparing a single person.
So, why would he abandon his advantages and strengths now?
Unable to figure it out, Yun Feiyan stopped pondering and prepared to face a more difficult opponent. If these two were to ensnare her any longer, it would become difficult for her to escape.
Yun Feiyan rushed forward with her right hand holding the sword, her sword Qi as glorious as a rainbow.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Feiyan came within nine feet in front of Xiao Chen. She slashed her sword forward, and the wild sword Qi tore through the air with a howling wind.
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes suddenly snapped open. In an instant, it was as if two sharp lights shot out from them.
“Second Sword!”
Xiao Chen softly shouted, his entire body’s True Qi flowing like dragons and snakes. With both hands gripping the three-foot-long sword, Sword Qi surged violently, stirring up the silent cold night!
With a swing of his three-foot-long, sharp sword, a vast torrent of Sword Qi burst forth, surging like a flood towards Yun Feiyan.
Yun Feiyan’s figure was suddenly washed with the terrifying Sword Qi, her pretty face turning pale as she had no choice but to halt her steps.
At the moment she stopped, countless rushing Sword Qi burst out all at once. On the ground, in the air, the Sword Qi coiled around like a dragon, making a sizzling roar.
“A decade of sharpening the sword finally pays off, as today it breaks the bamboo with the force of a rainbow!”
Xiao Chen, holding the sword with both hands, suddenly moved. His figure turned into a ray of light, charging towards the stationary Yun Feiyan.
As the sword stabbed out, it turned into a dazzling, peerless Sword Light that pierced through the silent night, relentlessly thrusting towards Yun Feiyan. The other Sword Qi retreated along with Xiao Chen’s figure, forming a brilliant and extreme rainbow tail.
This was “Second Sword,” Xiao Chen’s compilation of numerous sword techniques, taking the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses based on his Swordsmanship talent. It was much stronger than the “First Sword.”
Neither the First Sword nor the Second Sword belonged to any level of Martial Arts.
At this moment, displayed in Xiao Chen’s hands, it exceeded the scope of even the most superb Martial Arts!
“What’s going on?”
“Why do I feel a threat to my life?”
Yun Feiyan, in panic, trembled her long sword, dispersing the surrounding Sword Qi one after another.
At the same time, her left hand had no time to spare. With True Qi protecting her palm, it shimmered with a silver radiance as she grasped and shattered the sharp Sword Qi one after another.
Although Yun Feiyan had many powerful methods, she hadn’t completely dealt with those life-threatening Sword Qi when another Sword Light already struck!
Just like a meteor piercing through the sky, the sword that broke the night made Yun Feiyan feel horrified for no reason. It seemed as if this sword could penetrate her body.
Her feeling was not wrong!
In the Second Sword, Xiao Chen’s entire Swordsmanship will was condensed. With every ounce of True Qi and strength unleashed without reservation, all for the sake of slashing this peerless sword. It was only for the culmination of his years of sword training, his persistence, and sweat to explode thoroughly.
Yun Feiyan’s pupils shrank as she released her refined True Qi without any reservation.
At this moment, she had completely forgotten the Saber Cultivation youth who had fought fiercely, and who had slain Qin Meng. She was focusing all her strength on dealing with the sword that posed a threat to her life.
As Yun Feiyan fully activated her True Qi, she suddenly sensed something wrong. Her pupils contracted abruptly, realizing that something had entered her body?
Although it was a solid object, there was no feeling of pain.
No, I was hit by a sword!
Eh, when was I struck by the sword?
The astonishing Sword Qi erupted, crazily surging throughout her exquisite body, rampaging like a flood, destroying, and annihilating her vitality.
As the longsword was withdrawn, Yun Feiyan’s body involuntarily trembled, as though she had lost something, her beautiful eyes firmly fixed on the darkness ahead.
There was nothing ahead, only endless darkness.
She wanted to raise her hand, but found that her brain no longer obeyed her, and her body seemed to have crashed.
Gradually, the light before her eyes slowly dimmed, and everything seemed to have been swallowed by the night, her own self also falling into the darkness.
After delivering the final sword strike, Xiao Chen too was completely drained, plus the injuries from the Sky Cold Palm, he could no longer muster any strength, his body slowly falling backward.
At the moment his consciousness dipped into slumber, he faintly felt a pair of warm and strong hands….
