Chapter 309: Chapter 308 Sword Technique

Shi Yunyi is a good kid.

Yu Jinglei educated him well too.

"Senior brother, you... you agreed?"

Zhong Lin glanced at Shi Yunyi: "What could I do if I disagreed? Knock you out and throw you back to Xuan Gui Continent?"

Shi Yunyi laughed awkwardly and didn’t reply, but quietly exhaled a sigh of relief in his heart.

The Fierce Sun Palace and the Seven Stars Sect are like water and fire, destined for a clash. He had already noticed this and could foresee that his senior brother would undoubtedly want him to leave the Seven Stars Sect. However, he didn’t want to be that kind of person, yet he didn’t know how to explain it to his senior brother.

Now that his senior brother agreed, it naturally delighted him greatly.

"Junior brother, I won’t try to persuade you, but you must remember, you’re not only a member of the Seven Stars Sect, but also of the Sword Cauldron Sect. We are behind you, so you must be cautious. When things truly become impossible, you must leave with me, understood?"

Zhong Lin said solemnly.

Shi Yunyi’s smile faded, and he nodded heavily: "Don’t worry, senior brother, I know the limits. Staying is only to repay the Seven Stars Sect’s kindness. I won’t let myself get into a dangerous situation. The Sword Cauldron Sect is my true foundation."

"I’m glad you understand. Let’s go, take me to the Sword Testing Cliff."

"Alright."

Zhong Lin’s purpose for coming to the Seven Stars Sect was to see the Sword Trace on the Sword Testing Cliff. Under Shi Yunyi’s guidance, they soon arrived at the so-called Sword Testing Cliff.

The Sword Testing Cliff is not forbidden in the Seven Stars Sect, and with Shi Yunyi leading, they naturally entered easily.

"Senior brother, there is indeed a Sword Trace at the Sword Testing Cliff, and a Sword Qi pervades it, never dissipating throughout the years. It’s not as exaggerated as imagined."

"So you’ve been there too?"

"Yes, I specifically meditated there for a while. Besides sharpening my sword, it didn’t help much in improving my Sword Intent."

Zhong Lin said with a smile: "No matter, I just want to feel it myself. It doesn’t matter if it yields anything or not."

The Sword Testing Cliff is located north of the seven peaks of the Seven Stars Sect. The cliff is steep like a sheer wall, resembling a sharp sword piercing the void. The Sword Testing Cliff is located on a broken cliff behind this mountain.

The smooth jade wall for unknown reasons exhibits a pale blue color, akin to sapphire, blue crystal, harmonizing with the surrounding sea and sky, appearing almost magical, as if not of this world.

The Sword Trace lay on this blue jade wall, with nothing peculiar about it, appearing merely as a hundred-meter long mark left by a sword slash.

But at this moment, Zhong Lin sullenly stared at the Sword Trace before him, feeling a concentrated and daunting Sword Intent swirling above it, terrifying, with the mountain peak serving as the sword, reaching skyward, capable of slashing even Immortal Gods.

"Hiss! What a terrifying Sword Intent, is this the effect of comprehending Sword Intent to a perfect ten? No wonder no fish swim, no birds fly around here."

Zhong Lin flew to the top of the cliff, sitting cross-legged, with his eyes locked onto the hundred-meter-long Sword Trace, unleashing his Sword Intent, directly using it to invoke the terrifying Sword Intent on the cliff.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Suddenly, in Zhong Lin’s vision, where there was once a Sword Trace, now stood a Swordsman.

The Swordsman’s arms hung down at his sides, with flickering Sword Intent in his eyes, and the Ancient Sword strapped on his back hummed without moving.

"Huh!"

Suddenly, the Swordsman pinched a Sword Seal with his fingers, and the air surged with a loud shout.

In an instant, the Ancient Sword the Swordsman carried shot skyward, with the roar of Sword Qi resonating through the clouds.

One becomes two, two become four, four become eight.

In a flash, countless cold beams shot up into the sky, like the firmament oppressing downward, and the dense Ancient Swords swooped down!

Ma! Ma! Lin! Ma!

The sound of air splitting instantly triggered an explosion in the void.

As the sharp sonic booms arose, the Heaven-covering Sword Storm fiercely descended, facing Zhong Lin, sitting cross-legged as its initial target.

"What kind of martial arts is this?"

Zhong Lin’s brows furrowed, secretly suspicious.

Though an illusion, he could feel the stab of the all-encompassing Ancient Swords as though they were real, their destructive power unparalleled by ordinary Sword Qi.

With his heart moved, Zhong Lin abruptly stood, his right hand grabbing the air as a pitch-black long sword appeared in his hand.

Clang!

The sky filled with red light.

As Zhong Lin took a step forward, a gigantic Sword Qi, nearly a hundred feet in length, rose from his waist.

To be precise, it was Sword Intent.

He didn’t employ Spiritual Origin but engaged with Sword Intent in the contest.

The rising Sword Intent clashed abruptly with the descending Sword Storm.

Clang clang clang!

Countless metallic clashes echoed through the sky, stirring Sword Intent to raise massive ocean waves.

In a range of several hundred feet, Sword Intent howled, slicing off nearly three feet of the sapphire-like jade wall beneath.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The wave of Ancient Swords was only partly intercepted by Zhong Lin, the rest continued hurling towards him, slashing harshly against his body, enveloping his heart in a fear of death.

"Whew..."

Zhong Lin suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with endless despair and annihilation.

"Senior brother, are you okay?"

Shi Yunyi noticed Zhong Lin’s strange state and asked with concern.

Zhong Lin calmed his inner turmoil and looked up once more. The Sword Trace remained, and he was still seated on the platform, with nothing around having changed, as if it had all been an illusion.

"It wasn’t an illusion, the Sword Intent in the Sword Trace weakened."

As if realizing something, Zhong Lin muttered lightly.

"System."

"Sword Technique? Is this... the martial arts that the swordsman in the hallucination used?"

The words "Sword Technique" easily reminded Zhong Lin of the rain-like Sword Shadow and the Heaven-blanketing Sword Storm in the illusion.

"Such a powerful martial arts skill, its power rivaling the Sunset Sword Technique, and it’s also a Heavenly Level skill. I’ve hit the jackpot."

Zhong Lin was ecstatic, having initially intended to utilize the Sword Trace on the Sword Testing Cliff to see if it could enhance his Sword Intent, he never expected to comprehend such a Heavenly Level martial arts skill not weaker than the Sunset Sword Technique.

"I’m fine, junior brother, the Seven Stars Sect indeed possesses profound heritage, this Sword Trace actually hides an unparalleled Sword Dao." Zhong Lin laughed heartily.

"Unparalleled Sword Dao?"

Shi Yunyi turned to look at the Sword Trace overhead and then at Zhong Lin, completely bewildered.

"How much Sword Intent have you comprehended now?"

"Four levels."

This time it was Zhong Lin’s turn to be bewildered. Truly a Sword Dao prodigy, even with the System Panel, he could only comprehend six levels of Sword Intent, while Shi Yunyi, with his own insight, reached the "Sword Qi like a rainbow" Realm.
