Just as the two beams of sword light converged, Han Yuan tapped his foot and leaped into the air. The instant he dodged the attack, his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber came crashing down!
Eight Extremes·Mountain Shattering Slash!
Yi Nan felt the terrifying wave of energy surge toward him. He swung his Treasure Sword, attempting to block the strike!
But he had gravely underestimated the power of this slash.
After his Eight Extremes Demon-slaying Saber reached Perfection, it had formed the Divine Power, Sword Evil.
As Han Yuan’s killing intent intensified, a surge of Sword Evil coalesced on the edge of his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber. It mixed with the immense force of the Mountain Shattering Slash and came crashing down.
BAM!
The Treasure Sword was instantly shattered into two pieces by the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber.
Yi Nan let out a bloodcurdling scream as he, too, was cleaved in two by Han Yuan!
Seeing this, Yi Dong’s eyes flew wide with rage, his body radiating an exceptionally potent killing intent!
"Blood Wind Needle!"
He let out a low roar, gripping his sword with both hands and thrusting it straight out!
His Essence, Qi, and Spirit; his decades of bitter cultivation in the Sword Dao; his bottomless hatred for Han Yuan—it was all condensed into this single thrust.
It was no exaggeration to say that Yi Dong poured everything he had into this attack, all for the singular purpose of killing Han Yuan!
SWISH!
As the Treasure Sword shot forward, it seemed to conjure a bloody wind out of thin air.
The blade itself seemed dyed by the killing intent, turning a glaring scarlet as it transformed into a streak of blood-red light aimed straight at Han Yuan. It was unbelievably fast.
The sheer terror of the killing intent made everyone present feel a chill in their hearts.
"Elder Yi is really putting his life on the line!"
"With this strike, he’s burning his own life force. Even if he kills his opponent, I’m afraid he’ll be completely spent."
"I’d like to see how Han Yuan handles this!"
The remaining Elders of the Cyan Cloud Sect all revealed cold smirks.
In their eyes, there was no way Han Yuan could possibly dodge this attack.
Even Lü Zhengyun narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Han Yuan, who stood on the Cyan Cloud Stone Steps.
The crowd saw Han Yuan let out a long cry. Gripping the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber with both hands, he used no fancy technique—just a simple, heavy downward slash!
As the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber descended, it tore through the bloody wind and cleaved viciously into the streak of red light.
BAM!
Yi Dong convulsed as if struck by lightning, and his body was sent flying backward.
In mid-air, Yi Dong’s body split into two halves, which then landed on the ground with a gruesome thud.
Gazing at Yi Dong’s corpse, Han Yuan shook his head and said flatly, "All flash, no substance."
The Martial World Wanderers watching from the forests on either side felt their scalps tingle at the bloody sight!
"He split another one in half!"
"Except for Yi Xi, the other three were all cleaved in half alive..."
"Don’t tell me Director Han has some kind of fetish for chopping people in half?"
"Isn’t that obvious? Why else do you think they call him the Demon Blade?"
"So that’s what ’Demon Blade’ means! Someone who just loves to chop people up!"
Han Yuan ignored their words. After wiping the blood from his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber, he resumed his ascent up the Cyan Cloud Stone Steps toward the Cyan Cloud Mountain Gate.
This time, the numerous disciples of the Cyan Cloud Sect were all tense. Some even had looks of raw fear in their eyes.
Han Yuan’s display just now had been simply too terrifying!
Even the four Elders attacking together hadn’t lasted more than a few exchanges against him.
Lü Zhengyun also took a deep breath.
He knew it was finally his turn to act.
Although Han Yuan hadn’t made many moves, Lü Zhengyun had watched everything from start to finish, not missing a single motion.
He now had a better understanding of his Blade Technique and fighting style.
’In this battle,’ Lü Zhengyun thought, ’my odds of winning are very high.’
"All disciples... stand down."
Lü Zhengyun said in a grave voice.
Hearing this, the Cyan Cloud Sect disciples scattered.
「A short while later.」
Han Yuan reached the mountain gate, separated from Lü Zhengyun by ten steps.
He stopped, facing off against the Cyan Cloud Sect Leader.
"Han Yuan... you are indeed impressive."
"But you’re still not strong enough to destroy my Cyan Cloud Sect."
Lü Zhengyun said coldly.
"I’ve heard that your Swordsmanship is quite impressive, Lü Zhengyun... Whether the Cyan Cloud Sect is wiped out today all depends on if you can stop me."
Han Yuan said with a faint smile.
"The terrain here is too narrow. It’s not good for a proper fight."
"Let’s settle this in the mountain gate plaza."
Lü Zhengyun said in a grave voice.
"As you wish."
"This is your territory."
"We can fight wherever you want."
Han Yuan replied nonchalantly.
He climbed the final stone steps and arrived at the center of the Cyan Cloud Mountain Gate plaza.
Lü Zhengyun stood less than ten meters away.
Disciples of the Cyan Cloud Sect surrounded them.
Farther out, the Martial World Wanderers watched from a distance.
Everyone knew this was going to be a spectacular duel.
Demon Blade Han Yuan versus Lü Zhengyun of the Cyan Cloud Sect.
These were the most famous names in all of Cangshui County.
SHIIING~
Lü Zhengyun slowly drew his sword.
"This sword is named Cyan Rainbow. It is the symbol of my station as the Cyan Cloud Sect Leader. Its blade is so sharp it can cut through iron like mud."
"It has been with me for twelve years, ever since I became Sect Leader."
"One hundred and thirty-seven people have died by the Cyan Rainbow Sword."
"And you will be the one hundred and thirty-eighth."
Han Yuan cracked his neck and grinned. "You think you can beat me with a big speech?"
Lü Zhengyun replied coolly, "I just want you to die knowing why!"
SWISH!
SWISH!
The next moment, both men moved simultaneously.
With a tap of his foot, Lü Zhengyun shot forward, his Cyan Rainbow Sword thrusting out with incredible speed.
Han Yuan let out a great roar, swinging his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber in a tyrannical, ferocious slash!
CLANG CLANG CLANG!
Forgoing any probing attacks, the two clashed with exceptional ferocity.
The watching Cyan Cloud Sect disciples and Martial World Wanderers were left dazzled.
Their fighting styles were starkly different.
Lü Zhengyun was fast, his Swordsmanship light and fluid. His moves were like clouds in the sky—gathering and scattering unpredictably, impossible to pin down.
As for Han Yuan, his Blade Technique was all wide, sweeping slashes—ferocious and violent. The chilling light glinting off his blade was terrifying to behold.
CLANG CLANG CLANG!
At a glance, it seemed Lü Zhengyun held a slight advantage.
His figure flickered constantly, thrusting at Han Yuan from every angle.
Han Yuan, however, stood his ground, continuously swinging his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber to unleash wild torrents of blade energy.
"Clouds Rolling and Unfolding!"
Lü Zhengyun roared. The Cyan Rainbow Sword in his hand vibrated rapidly, seemingly transforming into a vast cyan cloud that descended to envelop Han Yuan.
"Break!"
Han Yuan was in no mood to play along. The terrifying strength in his arms erupted as he swung the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber with a deafening whistle!
Eight Extremes·Shattering Wind Slash!
Though perhaps this slash should have been called the Cloud Shattering Slash!
Infused with Sword Evil, the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber viciously tore apart the cyan cloud of sword light.
CLANG!
Lü Zhengyun’s figure was sent flying back more than ten meters.
THUD!
As he landed his final step, the flagstones beneath his feet shattered.
"Such terrifying power..."
"Han Yuan, you’ve certainly earned your title of Demon Blade."
As Lü Zhengyun spoke, he was actually regulating his breathing to calm the turbulent True Qi roiling within him.
Han Yuan’s last slash had nearly dispersed his Cyan Cloud True Qi entirely.
Fortunately, the inherent nature of Cyan Cloud True Qi was its adaptability, which allowed Lü Zhengyun to quickly gather it once more.
"You, on the other hand... are a bit of a disappointment."
Han Yuan shook his head slightly.
He had thought Lü Zhengyun would be a worthy opponent.
But after this exchange, it seemed he was no different from Zhang Bei.
"This isn’t over yet."
Lü Zhengyun shouted, then extended his left index finger and rapidly pressed several major acupressure points on his body!
