522 So It Was The Case

Name:Divine Brilliance Author:Kai Huang
When the silver-white sword light slashed out, the entire black void seemed to have been split into two halves.

This caused Ruoshui and the others who were watching the battle nearby to hold their breath.

... Instant Sky Dragon Sword! Lightning Dragon Sword! Fire Dragon Vast Sword!

The few true dragon sword stances stacked together without Zong Shou even thinking about it.

The moment the dragon shadow and the 2 snake-shaped swords clashed, there was a loud ring.

First, the spiral sword glow was sliced into pieces. Then, the next sword caused the snake sword in Yuan Wushang's left hand to be instantly broken.

It was directly sliced into two by the Platinum Sword Shadow.

Yuan Wushang's expression changed, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. The opponent in front of him could also merge his spirit with martial arts.

Almost immediately, another sword light rose up in Zong Shou's hand and transformed into that of a Seven Claw Giant Dragon, only then did Yuan Wushang come back to his senses. He threw away his broken sword and faced it with the remaining sword in his hand.

At this moment in the void far away, Ling Xueyun couldn't speak at all. His expression was clearly started as he was nearly unable to keep his balance on the Leaf Spiritual Artifact below his feet.

When Xu Zhengyuan's brows rose up and asked him in confusion only did he come back to his senses.

"Senior Ling, what is the situation there? Did Yuan Wushang's sword break just now? My ruler has the advantage?"

He could only see the rough outlines of the situation, but not the entire fight.

He only knew that when Yuan Wushang attacked, the Sword Maniac's aura instantly climbed by several times.

It made his heartbeat stop. However, moments later, the snake sword broke into pieces, it made him nearly unable to believe his own senses.

Xueyun was still fully focused, however, moments later, he gave out an awkward laugh.

"You didn't see it wrongly, that was indeed the case! Your ruler indeed merged spirit and martial arts into one. His sword path itself had already beaten this Yuan Wushang. Now that the gap has been wiped out by half, your ruler does seem to have a chance to win!"

Even though he spat out these words, his heart was still filled with uncertainty and hesitation.

This was because he really couldn't believe the situation unfolding in front of his eyes.

The head of the Cloud World, Six Pinnacle Swords, Yuan Wushang, was he going to lose just like this?

In the void, they clashed several more times. However, after every sword clash, Yuan Wushang's face would be ashen-white as he would retreat.

His body would be covered by a few more wounds. They were caused by his body being unable to handle the Soul Realm Sword Intent and also due to Zong Shou himself.

They were nearly lethal many times and managed to cut through to important parts. The more they fought, the more shocked Yuan Wushang's eyes were filled with. In the end, he couldn't take it and spat out.

"How is this possible? Zong Shou! How is your merger percentage higher than mine? 30%? How could it be 30%?!"

The moment the voice spread out, Ye Feishuang, who was on the giant boat was shocked once more.

She only knew that Zong Shou had the utmost advantage and was pretty much suppressing and forcing Yuan Wushang to a corner.

Martial arts and spirit merging into one... The reason why it was better was because of the merger percentage between soul power and internal energy. As for combat strength increase, this was secondary.

If one only merged when one was at the Celestial Realm or the God Realm, then they would find it tough to merge to 60% in their entire life. Unless one was really lucky and really determined, they wouldn't be able to enter the End Realm.

But a 30% merger rate? How was that possible? That fellow was only at grade-7.

Did this fellow actually achieve to merge his spirit and martial arts when he was grade-2 to 3? How was that possible?

Zong Shou was really calm when he slashed out before, now, he had no thoughts in his mind. He was only calculating and deducing the sword trajectory. He was able to mesh soul power and True Qi better into one.

However, when he heard those words, his heart shook. He could clearly feel that the merger of his internal energy and soul power was in fact much higher than that of Yuan Wushang's!

At least 30% of it was tightly connected. Along with the sword soul, each sword of his could reach three times the power of a Peak Nine expert!

However, why was this the case? Was it because of last time...

He had an idea of why this was happening but he didn't think too much about it. Along with his aura climbing to the peak, the Nine Dragons behind him roared out once more!

Platinum Dragon Sword!

Instant Sky Dragon Sword!

Lightning Dragon Sword!

Fire Dragon Vast Sword!

Extreme Chill Horned Dragon Sword!

When this sword light slashed out, Zong Shou's sword had turned into the shape of a dragon, it actually had seven claws!

The fifth type of True Dragon Sword Intent being added in caused the dragon shape to become more and more real.

"Break!"

Moments later, there was a loud ring that shook one's eardrums. It was extremely sharp, far sharper than all the sword clashes from before.

Yuan Wushang explosively retreated, the last snake sword in his hand broke from the handle. His body was in a bad state, his eyes were filled with loss.

Zong Shou's eyes shone brightly. The next sword can decide the victory!

With this thought rising up, the Nine True Dragons behind his back disappeared. With his sword slashing down, even this dark void with no daylight at all seemed to have became even darker.

The spiritual senses and five senses of the people around were completely covered. Only Zong Shou could sense the black dot on his sword tip which was the One Origin Black Sword!

When the sword slashed out, Zong Shou felt different. The black hole dharma was not only absorbing his soul power, but it was also crazily extracting the Yin True Qi in his body.

It caused the black hole dharma to crazy swell up this time!

The strength of this sword was several times of the One Origin Black Sword he displayed previously.

Yuan Wushang was also terrified as his consciousness nearly stopped working. Only until he felt his spiritual sense being sucked away and he was unable to sense the nearby situation did he finally react.

Before this when he witnessed the sword technique which could swallow everything, he was really excited. However, at this moment, he felt absolutely powerless.

He gritted his teeth and threw out something. It swelled in the air and turned into a hundred-foot shield that stopped right in front of him.

When the sword and shield clashed, there was no sound at all. Yuan Wushang was unable to sense anything. When the darkness faded away did his spiritual sense begin to spread out once again.

He only felt that the grade-5 silver shield magical treasure had already dimmed and it was tossed aside into the distance.

Opposite to him, Zong Shou's sword slashed down once more. This sword was white and eye-piercing, it shone this unorderly piece of void totally white.

It was the One Origin White Sword!

Yuan Wushang scoffed as he suppressed the depressed feeling in his heart. He waved his sleeves and instantly tens of magical grade talismans instantly activated in front of him. They turned into layers of protective spells, stacking all together.

In his hands, there were two more grade-8 spiritual swords that laid out a closely packed sword light. One layer over another, numerous spiritual explosions broke out like it was endless.

'Peng!'

A few breaths later, the white sword light finally arrived. It cut through like a hot knife through butter and broke those spells layer by layer.

Following after, the heavy sword lights were also dissolved. Finally, a blood light rose up which was instantly evaporated by the bright white light!

When the eye-piercing white light finally faded, Ye Feishuang heaved a sigh of relief. She seemed to have lost all her strength and wobbly collapsed on the ship deck. She was in total shock and was unable to come back to her senses for a Long while.

Ling Xueyun, who was in the distance, sighed. Who knows if this was him praising Zong Shou for that exquisite sword technique or him feeling pity for Yuan Wushang's bad defeat!

His eyes glanced and saw that half of Yuan Wushang's body was sliced by Zong Shou's sword. The remaining portion was mostly burnt. Under the protection of the spiritual light, he was still traveling into the distance.

Yuan Wushang's aura was dark and dejected, his injuries were obviously really heavy and he was not far from falling.

However, just as the light was about to disappear, Yuan Wushang's laughter broke out once more.

"I understand! Haha! So that's the case! Zong Shou, your path is unlimited light and endless darkness! A month ago, the snow was because of you! As expected from the path that the Buddhists are chasing for. I have learned a lot today! I have fought hundreds of battles and today, I finally lost to you! You are definitely more suitable than that Jueyu as my grinding stone! In this life, I will never been lonely again..."

His voice spread out from afar, however, it still sounded like it was said right next to one's ears. Zong Shou's brows rose up as he scoffed lightly. He took out a grade-8 spiritual sword, gathering his True Qi and spiritual energy before he tossed it out. It poked through the void right where the voice came from.

As expected, in the next instant, the voice stopped. As for whether or not Yuan Wushang was dead or alive, it was unknown.

He had used up most of the True Qi and soul power in his body. Although he had pills to recover, it still wasn't fast enough. He didn't want to remain here any longer, he waved his sleeves and pulled the shield magical treasure to his hand. Following which, he tore open the void once more and returned to the Cloud World.

Stepping back, he felt his body was exceptionally empty. However, his rigid and tight emotions finally managed to relax.

The closeness from that battle was far from that of his battle with Jueyu. The pressure that Yuan Wushang gave him was also more than that of Jueyu's. Be it sword techniques or cultivation, he was much higher than the latter.

If it wasn't for him merging spirit with martial arts at the crucial moment, and for some reason reaching 30%, he would have had absolutely no chances of winning that battle!

Although Yuan Wushang had backed off, Zong Shou's fighting intent was still raging, he was unable to completely rest. He looked out into the distance and felt a spiritual fluctuation. An over 70-year-old man was riding a leaf magical treasure and brought Xu Zhengyuan to step out of the void.

Zong Shou's gaze constricted as he walked over. Although they were separated by a hundred miles, he didn't rush nor felt the need to. However, his Sword Intent pointed out such that the old man only frowned his brows and didn't dare to move.

It was like he wasn't willing to resist as he quietly stood in the air.

In just a few minutes, Zong Shou was in front of the two men. He ignored the grade-8 Spiritual Grandmaster expert and directly asked Xu Zhengyuan, "City lord Xu, who is this person? Why are you here?"

Xu Zhengyuan smiled as he wasn't in a rush to reply, he first took a look at Zong Shou.

He knew it! Long when this teen was still the prince, he knew that this future Gantian Monster king would definitely rule the Cloud World.

It was really the case!
