Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 360: Chapter 356: Myriad Swords Technique vs. Celestial Sword Technique

BOOM.

Everyone felt two terrifying waves of Sword Momentum surge toward the sky.

A gale howled throughout the canyon. Razor-sharp Sword Qi crisscrossed the area, forcing the many Sword Cultivators back again and again.

CRACKLE.

The sound of crackling electricity even echoed through the air. This was the sound of their Sword Momentums colliding in a fierce clash.

Wei Qingxuan raised his Cyan Profound Sword high. A brilliant cyan rainbow of light erupted from it, shooting straight into the heavens.

It seemed as if the winds and clouds in all ten directions were stirred by this single sword strike.

Countless Sword Cultivators revealed looks of horror, shaken by the might of this attack.

’As expected of the Celestial Sword Technique. Even if it’s the simplified Little Celestial Sword Technique, an expert at the Immortal Realm would still be utterly annihilated by this attack.’

’When a Swordsmanship like this is unleashed, it’s truly unrivaled. If the Little Celestial Sword Technique is this terrifying, just how tyrannical is the true Celestial Sword Technique?’

’Legend says that the Celestial Sword Technique was discovered in the Ancient Forbidden Area. The founding ancestor of the Celestial Sword Sect relied on this very Sword Technique to step into the Celestial Martial Realm and establish the sect, leading to its current glory.’

The crowd murmured, full of yearning for the renowned Celestial Sword Technique.

"Sever."

Wei Qingxuan slashed down. The heaven-reaching cyan sword rainbow looked as if it would split the universe in two. Everyone’s eyes were completely captivated by it, unable to see anything else.

Some Sword Cultivators couldn’t even withstand its sword might and nearly collapsed to the ground.

In contrast to the astonishing spectacle before Wei Qingxuan drew his sword, Ning Jiang’s own attack began without much fanfare. He simply brought his sword down in a single, clean stroke.

But when his sword struck, an equally world-shaking phenomenon occurred.

RUSH.

A long river surged forth, roaring without end, ferocious and wild. Above it, a setting sun slowly descended.

The first form of the Myriad Swords Technique, Long River Sunset, against the first form of the Celestial Sword Technique, Ten Directions Wind and Cloud.

This was a contest between two great Sword Techniques.

The Celestial Sword Sect’s technique was publicly acknowledged as the strongest Sword Technique in the Six Eastern Provinces today. Its origins were mysterious, rumored to be from the Ancient Forbidden Area. Yet the Myriad Swords Technique had an origin story that was no less impressive; it was the ultimate, sect-guarding art of the Myriad Swords Sect from a hundred thousand years ago.

’He’s...’ When the Sword Cultivators present saw this attack, looks of shock filled their faces. A name surfaced in their minds: ’Ning Jiang!’

The attack, Long River Sunset, was no stranger to many in Qing Province.

Countless powerful enemies had been defeated by this very strike from Ning Jiang.

Anyone who had seen it once would never forget it for the rest of their lives.

The spectacle of a long river and a setting sun was simply too profound. No one else in Qing Province could replicate it.

’So it’s him, Master of the Myriad Swords Sect, Ning Jiang.’

’I was wondering when Qing Province had produced such a mysterious expert. So that’s who it was.’

These thoughts flashed through the crowd’s minds in an instant.

In the next moment, their two sword strikes slammed violently into each other.

BANG!

In that instant, a brilliant light exploded like a tidal wave, sweeping out in all directions. Streaks of Sword Qi shot outwards like lasers, capable of slicing through metal, breaking iron, and leveling a mountain peak with a single blow.

A few breaths later, the light faded, revealing the figures of the two men.

"So you’re the Master of the Myriad Swords Sect, Ning Jiang? Good. Very good. You’ve been making quite a name for yourself recently; even I have heard of you. That just makes defeating you all the more meaningful. I will let the Six Eastern Provinces know that the so-called Master of the Myriad Swords Sect is nothing but a clown before me!"

Wei Qingxuan’s fighting spirit grew even stronger.

If Ning Jiang were just some nameless junior, defeating him wouldn’t mean much.

But the title of Master of the Myriad Swords Sect was more than enough.

Some time ago, Ning Jiang’s fame had soared, especially after his battle with Ji Tianxing, a disciple of the Moon God Palace. That fight had pushed his name to a new peak.

If he defeated Ning Jiang here, his own name would become known to even more people.

"Take my second strike, Ten Directions Sword Break!"

The power of Ten Directions Sword Break was far greater than that of Ten Directions Wind and Cloud. This technique was focused on pure lethality and ultimate offense.

Among the younger generation of the Celestial Sword Sect, very few could cultivate the Little Celestial Sword Technique to its second form.

A cyan sword rainbow that seemed capable of piercing through anything descended from above. Its surface was coated in a black light, and a chilling, murderous aura filled the space.

All the Sword Cultivators felt a chill in their hearts upon seeing it.

"Well met."

Ning Jiang’s eyes burned like torches, his fighting spirit blazing. Layers of thunderlight enveloped his body, making him appear like a reincarnated god.

Facing Wei Qingxuan’s all-severing Sword Aura, Ning Jiang activated his Sword Technique.

"Myriad Swords Technique, second form: One Sword Soars Immortal!"

SHIIING!

Wielding the Ice River Sword, he vanished from his spot, transforming into a beam of light—an immortal’s glow—that instantly tore through the air.

No words could describe this strike.

In the eyes of the onlookers, only this single white sword light remained. It was faster than a Thunderbolt, seemingly about to pierce through heaven and earth, incomparably swift.

This was the second time Ning Jiang had used the Sword Technique, One Sword Soars Immortal.

The last time, during his battle with Ji Tianxing of the Moon God Palace, he had used this very technique to slay his opponent. That was also the battle in which his Ice Soul Sword was destroyed.

At that time, Ning Jiang’s Cultivation was only at the Divinity Transformation Realm, and using One Sword Soars Immortal had been a great strain.

But now that he had stepped into the Divine Travel Realm, One Sword Soars Immortal was no longer a burden. He didn’t have to worry about its power being too great and suffering a backlash.

BOOM.

When the two Sword Techniques slammed into each other, only two colors of light remained in the entire world: one white, one cyan. Vast and boundless, they blotted out everything else from sight.

’Who won?’

Many people shut their eyes, blinded by the brilliant light.

"Ning Jiang, you are worthy of seeing my strongest strike. I have never used this technique, not even within the Celestial Sword Sect. I was saving it for Ling Tianxu. Now that I’m using it on you, you can die proud."

Wei Qingxuan’s voice rang out from within the blazing light.

"Celestial Sword Technique, third form: Ten Directions Annihilation."

This time, a black sword rainbow shot into the sky. Contained within it was a destructive Power that seemed bent on annihilating everything in its path.

The entire Celestial Sword Grand Canyon was enveloped by endless Sword Qi.

Such terrifying might made everyone’s face pale.

’With this strike, who below the Earth Martial Realm could possibly challenge Young Master Wei?’

’Even an Immortal Realm expert would lose their will to fight upon seeing this.’

The Three Great Swords exclaimed in amazement, their eyes filled with awe.

But Ning Jiang was not the least bit surprised. His expression was calm, showing neither joy nor worry. He flicked the Snow River Sword with his finger, and a long, clear ringing sound emerged.

"I also have a sword strike I’d like you to see."

"Die." Wei Qingxuan paid no heed to Ning Jiang’s words. Even if Ning Jiang had a stronger Sword Technique, he was confident that his Ten Directions Annihilation could slay him.

"Myriad Swords Technique, third form: Myriad Swords Return to One!"
