Chapter 109: Sword Heart

At the critical moment of facing life and death, the wildly beating heart of the sword cultivator clone suddenly slowed down.

From a critical state of more than two hundred beats per minute, there was a sudden plummet until his heartbeat became an extremely slow rate of once per three second.

However, not only did this intense change in his body not make his clone Tang Yan feel uncomfortable, his mind and body instantly calmed down.

Before his eyes, two huge claws that were even larger than his entire body enveloped him. However, the speed seemed to have suddenly slowed down by ten times as it slowly played frame by frame.

At the same time, the Burning Rainbow in his hand shook slightly, and then a joyous emotion connected with his consciousness. The flying sword in his hand, which was already extremely obedient, became even more easily manipulated.

It was a very wonderful feeling. The right limb felt like it was suddenly extended by several feet.

He could even clearly feel the violent wind blowing past the blade.

The clone suddenly felt extremely confident in the sword in his hand. Although there was no reason, he was very certain in his heart that the Burning Rainbow in his hand would definitely be unstoppable!

Swoosh!

With a slight tremble, sword light rushed forward with the flying sword in hand.

Using the fire sword qi that he had created through expending his spiritual qi to block its vision, the sword cultivator shifted to dodge the sharp claws. Then, he waved the Burning Rainbow in his hand and slashed out.

The golden metallic feathers, which were as hard as Kun steel, were slashed apart by the flying sword, followed by the skin, flesh, blood, and bones.

Before the blood could flow out, it was already evaporated by the scorching hot sword.

The smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

The sword cultivator's figure flashed past the building-sized Golden-Winged Condor, leaving a charred wound on the giant bird. This strike caused considerable damage.

Jiang Li stroked the flying sword as he gained a lot of understanding.

This was the… Sword Heart?

It turned out that other than tearing paper with a rusty sword, the Sword Heart talent could also do such a thing!

Jiang Li was extremely shocked by this. The amount of spiritual qi condensed from the sword strike earlier was actually far inferior to the spiritual qi used when his clone unleashed the first strike.

But the results of these two sword attacks were so different.

It was no wonder that the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak valued the Sword Heart so much.

It was effective on a target that was one realm higher and practically ignored the effects of defense. If he used it well, coupled with the powerful attack power of a sword cultivator, fighting above one's level was simply not a dream.

Shriek!

The condor cried out in pain, but after flapping its wings for a while, it still stopped and did not fall to the ground.

Damn it! Jiang Li cursed in his heart.

The sword strike from before had originally headed for its wings, but the condor was too large. Compared to it, a flying sword that was the size of a toothpick was too tiny to truly cause fatal damage!

The clone immediately activated the sword technique, wanting to take the opportunity to strike again.

However, things did not go as he expected. Just as the flying sword left his hand, his vision blurred and his heart beat wildly again. He was forced out of the Sword Heart state.

In an instant, Flying Sword Burning Rainbow's might decreased drastically, no longer as sharp as before.

After Jiang Li's mind recovered its clarity, the hand seals on his hand changed again and again. The flying sword no longer swooped down. After spitting out a wisp of spirit fire that reeked of alcohol, he immediately turned the sword around and flew back to catch the clone who was free falling.

In order to cut off the possible connection between him and his clone, Jiang Li did not provide any artifacts to his clone.

Therefore, if he wanted to use the flying sword to attack from afar, he would not be able to ride on the sword.

This was also the reason why Jiang Li had been practicing close combat with his flying sword.

If he continued to forcefully control the flying sword to attack, it would be a small matter if he could not break through the feather's defense. In the event the flying sword was stuck or even sent flying, he would not even have the chance to escape.

Just as the clone urged the flying sword under his feet to escape again, a cloud suddenly gathered beside him. Immediately, a graceful man appeared from the cloud and stood in front of the clone.

"Junior Brother, if you don't mind, please let us lend you a hand."

The sudden appearance of a cultivator naturally made Jiang Li instinctively wary.

However, when he saw the familiar clothes of the other party, he could not help but be stunned.

Wasn't this the uniform of an inner sect disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley? However, it looked like the style of the other party's disciple uniform was slightly different from Jiang Li's actual clothes, and it seemed to be even more elegant and noble.

'He called me Junior Brother? Did he recognize me?'

This was the first thought that popped up in Jiang Li's mind, but it was immediately ruled out.

This clone was very perfect. It should not be so easy to expose.

The other party had called him this out of the tradition of the four major sects.

"Thank… thank you, Senior Brother."

The clone stepped on the flying sword and cupped his fists in greeting. He did not think much before agreeing.

After all, with the reputation of the four major sects of the Great Mountain Region, very few disciples would kill each other to seize treasures because that would be too unwise.

Moreover, Jiang Li vaguely felt that he should know the other party.

Shriek!

The liquor flames that Burning Rainbow had just shot out was torn apart by the golden wings once more. The enormous condor's sharp gaze stared fixedly at Jiang Li as it pounced towards him from below.

A large amount of spirit flames erupted from the Burning Rainbow sword. However, before he could attack, a small golden seal was thrown out from the Scripture Storage Valley's senior brother.

It was as if he had casually tossed a stone.

However, after the golden seal left his hand, it swelled up with the wind!

In just a moment, it had already risen to a height of ten meters, and the seal smashed towards the condor below.

Jiang Li was shocked in his heart, and even his main body that was 500km away could not help but tremble.

He seemed to have heard of this seal when he was listening to his fellow disciples bragging in the Demon Vanquishing Hall.

Could this be the ultimate technique of the Scripture Storage Valley? Who exactly was this guy?

The golden seal that was enlarged hundreds of times collided with the condor.

Then, the situation became one-sided.

In front of Jiang Li, the condor that had acted tyrannically was smashed by a ten-meter golden seal. It fell towards the ground while shrieking in pain.

When the golden seal shrank and flew back, many unnatural distortions appeared on the condor's body. Blood spurted out of the bird's mouth, it had obviously been heavily injured.

Jiang Li was shocked by the might of the golden seal, but he did not forget to deal the finishing blow.

Turning around, he held the flying sword again and chased after the falling condor, quickly slashing out sword lights.

At this moment, the others from the Scripture Storage Valley arrived as well. Several artifacts left their hands and smashed into the condor.

After being heavily injured and facing attacks like these, no matter how tough its physique was, it could not withstand it at this time.

Under the ravaging of spiritual qi, the huge bird finally exploded with a bang. It shattered into pieces and was beyond dead.
