Chapter 94: Chapter 93: Unparalleled Quick Sword

Heartless Sword Bai Yuncheng, a top swordsman renowned throughout the East Continent.

Even on Pegasus Star, he is a first-class swordsman.

Battles at this level of expertise are rare. Moreover, this is obviously a life-and-death duel.

The only slight regret is that the masked man’s weight falls short.

In this regard, almost everyone has the same judgment.

What surprised everyone, however, was that Bai Yuncheng did not draw his sword and attack directly, but instead waved to release all the followers.

Bai Yuncheng is cold and emotionless; even though White Mirror is his disciple, in his eyes, he’s merely a useful tool.

White Mirror being killed did not make him sad or angry.

The title of Heartless Sword is not given lightly.

The sword technique Bai Yuncheng practices is precisely heartless and emotionless. Of course, he doesn’t lack emotions, but retains certain negative feelings like arrogance, jealousy, and greed.

Although Bai Yuncheng has a twisted personality, his swordsman’s intuition is very sharp. He finds this masked man very dangerous.

Bai Yuncheng is not afraid, but he doesn’t want to take risks. He brought so many subordinates just to let them fight.

A group of guards, well-trained, without hesitation, charged forward together at Bai Yuncheng’s gesture.

Some took swords, others guns, and they surrounded him with layered tactics.

Bai Yuncheng supported his sword and watched from behind to see what abilities the opponent had.

If the opponent proved truly threatening, he wouldn’t mind joining in on the attack.

This isn’t a Sword Dao challenge; there’s no need to follow any rules.

Other spectators were somewhat disappointed.

From the perspective of those in higher positions, this is undoubtedly the optimal solution.

However, for Bai Yuncheng, as a top swordsman, resolving a challenge in this way is rather dull.

People respect Bai Yuncheng mainly because of his swordsmanship.

What should have been an exciting swordsmanship duel turned into a gang fight.

The younger generation, like Jiang Xuejun and Qingyi Fei Niao, all felt that Bai Yuncheng lacked the demeanor and charisma of a top swordsman.

The guards, however, didn’t think so complicatedly. They were all members of the Black Dragon Association, blindly obeying Bai Yuncheng.

A total of seven guards, two holding guns in the middle, and the remaining five with swords outflanking from the sides.

With rich combat experience, the battle formation they formed could advance or retreat, fully utilizing the advantages of firearms.

Since Gao Xuan was backed by the main door, shots could be fired in that direction without fear of hitting others by mistake.

The two gunners in the middle were just about to shoot when Gao Xuan had already advanced with sword control.

The Golden Dragon Sword in his hand suddenly shone brightly, waves of snow-colored sword light surged up like a tide, sweeping all sides. Instantly, it engulfed the group of guards.

"Sword Qi!"

Experts like Fang Zheng, Jiang Yuan, Qingyi Flying Crane, and Jiang Haoran all turned pale with shock.

Once a cultivator’s Source Power Level reaches Level 6, which is the Bronze Realm, they can barely extend Source Power externally.

Such as shooting a burst of Source Power from a finger. However, extended Source Power doesn’t have much power and consumes a lot. It has little practical combat value.

Generally, cultivators at the Bronze Level use weapons and fists honestly. Rarely does anyone extend Source Power.

Only when the source power reaches Level 10, with sufficiently advanced Sword Dao cultivation, can a sword artifact be used to trigger Sword Qi.

The power of Sword Qi varies depending on the individual. The specific change of Sword Qi differs with each swordsman.

The external release of Sword Qi consumes greatly. It’s hard to say how powerful it is in actual combat.

However, Sword Qi can reach far distances, increasing the attack range and methods of the sword artifact.

This change alone makes Sword Qi exceptionally important.

Sword Qi is also the true mark of a swordsman.

Without Sword Qi, even if you’re at Level 10, you don’t qualify as a swordsman.

Gao Xuan’s sword-taking and killing were executed beautifully in one go, earning admiration.

But when Gao Xuan stimulated Sword Qi, the whole audience was taken aback, and no one could remain seated.

Even Bai Yuncheng’s face changed, although he had tried to overestimate his opponent, he didn’t expect the opponent to be even stronger than he imagined.

When Bai Yuncheng wanted to take action, it was already too late.

The seven guards were halted in their action due to the impact of Sword Qi.

The surging Sword Qi instantly divided into seven sharp, blade-like strands of Sword Qi, which silently pierced the foreheads of the seven guards, leaving a hair-thin sword mark.

All seven guards died on the spot, their bodies being swept away by the vast Sword Qi.

Bai Yuncheng was also swept by the aftermath of the Sword Qi; gripping his sword hilt, he similarly stimulated his Sword Qi to block the opponent’s Sword Qi assault.

The tables, food, utensils in front of Bai Yuncheng, all shattered and fragmented under the agitated Sword Qi.

The clash of both sides’ Sword Qi made Bai Yuncheng feel even worse. The opponent’s Sword Qi was sharp and vigorous. Its strength seemed even greater than his.

But it was now too late to retreat, Bai Yuncheng knew very well he had already been locked on by the opponent’s Sword Intent.

The spiritual power released by a swordsman with the flavor of the realm of the sword is Sword Intent.

A Silver Level Sword Hero, needs only Sword Intent to kill an enemy. Reaching that level, a Sword Hero becomes extremely dangerous.

Conventional weapons of modern technology become too weak in front of a Silver Level Sword Hero.

The opponent’s Sword Qi was majestically fierce, while the Sword Intent was deep and elusive, like threads like air, entangling with his Divine Intent.

Although this kind of Sword Intent doesn’t cause substantial harm, it indicates that the opponent’s Swordsmanship Realm is above his. This makes Bai Yuncheng both uneasy and angry, resentful.

The swirling negative emotions made the Heartless Sword in Bai Yuncheng’s hand flicker unsteadily.

The Heartless Sword he primarily cultivates is a Magic Technique passed down from the Dark Dragon God. It’s extremely strange and dangerous.

The stronger Bai Yuncheng’s negative emotions, the more his power increases.

Realizing he might be killed, Bai Yuncheng’s Heartless Sword Technique instantly surged to its peak.

"Courting death!"

Bai Yuncheng growled low in his throat, and the Heartless Sword suddenly drew forth from its sheath.

The pure black blade of the Heartless Sword made the hall darken instantly.

The agitated Heartless Sword Qi was like a black curtain, covering all sources of light.

All those watching were plunged into darkness, the world becoming pitch black.

Like Jiang Yuan and others, their vision was completely blocked by the Sword Qi. They couldn’t see a thing.

Experts like Fang Zheng, Qingyi Qianhe, and Jiang Haoran could barely penetrate the black Sword Qi curtain to see the battling parties.

What exactly could be seen depended on one’s level of cultivation. It was also the best test stone to assess the cultivation of those present.

Wei Yue, as a ninth-level expert primarily cultivating Spiritual Power, was minimally affected by the Heartless Sword Qi turning into a black curtain. It didn’t affect her observation at all.

But she also knew that Bai Yuncheng’s sword was primarily aimed at the Bronze Masked Swordsman. They were just collateral to the Sword Qi.

To directly face Bai Yuncheng’s Sword Qi, she feared she couldn’t withstand even a single sword.

Only swordsmen like Wei Ming could contend with Bai Yuncheng. The rest present couldn’t help but be intimidated by his Sword Qi.

While Wei Yue was contemplating, she noticed Bai Yutang’s eyes were bright and calm, seemingly unaffected by the Sword Qi.

Wei Yue was immediately wary and quickly withdrew her Spiritual Power, avoiding looking at the other.

Could Bai Yutang be this strong? She kept it hidden, surely not liking anyone discovering her secrets.

Fortunately, the intense battle between Bai Yuncheng and the Bronze Masked Swordsman completely absorbed that person’s attention.

Wei Yue secretly rejoiced. Her lack of sword skills prevented her from seeing through the fight, allowing her to divide her attention.

Bai Yutang indeed hadn’t noticed Wei Yue’s anomaly, as she was completely absorbed in the intense battle before her.

Bai Yuncheng’s Heartless Sword Qi, pure black like a curtain, was both strange and robust. Truly formidable.

Just as Bai Yutang had this thought, an extremely chilling Sword Light flashed forth.

This sword was blindingly fast, yet ethereal like an illusion, unfathomable. The not-so-powerful Sword Light cleaved through the layers of darkness in an instant.

The crowd even heard a "thud" in their minds, as if it was the sound of tearing silk.

The sharpness that cut through everything had an unparalleled and magnificent beauty in its simplicity and directness.

At that moment, everyone’s minds seemed to be cut open by that sword.

Even Bai Yuncheng, a swordsman of such tenacious will, was momentarily dazed. He felt a sense of danger when the swift, flowing sword pierced his defense, stabbing right into his forehead.

Under the high-speed thrust of the five-kilogram Titanium Steel blade, the penetrative power was terrifying. The blade easily tore through Bai Yuncheng’s protective Sword Qi, piercing his skull.

The blade’s frightening kinetic energy and the Sword Qi’s vibration immediately shattered Bai Yuncheng’s brain matter into mush.

Bai Yuncheng’s movements abruptly stopped, his slender eyes were bloodshot, and blood gushed simultaneously from his ears, nose, and mouth. It was clear he was done for.

Those who saw this scene were utterly shocked.

After just one exchange, Bai Yuncheng was slain by a single sword!

Even having witnessed the battle firsthand, the crowd still found it surreal—how could this be possible?

But they quickly realized that the opponent’s Swordsmanship was clearly at an unmatched speed. Even with Bai Yuncheng’s strength, he couldn’t withstand a single sword!

With the sword drawn, the curtain torn, the person vanquished.

The unmatched Quick Sword, so rapid and splendid, who present could withstand a single blow?

The crowd looked again at the Bronze Masked Swordsman, now with deep apprehension and awe in their eyes.

Who could withstand a single blow from such a mysterious and powerful swordsman?

The crowd also had many doubts: Who exactly was this person? And what was their relationship with Wei Yue?

There was no doubt, this person had come to stand up for Wei Yue.

Gao Xuan could sense the complex emotions of the people in the hall, but he paid them no mind.

The only one worth noting was Bai Yutang. This woman was no simple character.

Yet, now was not the time to kill her. Bai Yutang still had a significant use.

As Gao Xuan’s thoughts whirled, his attention swiftly returned to Bai Yuncheng.

This follower of the God of Darkness, who knows what Evil Technique he had cultivated, even after having his brain pierced, wasn’t completely dead.

Sure enough, Bai Yuncheng’s eyes, originally scattered into bloody masses, suddenly flipped, turning completely black. Even the whites of his eyes became pitch black.

Such eyes bore no emotion, only an indescribable eerie terror.

As the black Heartless Sword Qi dissipated, everyone in the hall could clearly see Bai Yuncheng’s transformation.

Many people shouted in shock.

Even those with little knowledge knew something was wrong with Bai Yuncheng.

Bai Yuncheng’s pure black pupils stared fixedly at Gao Xuan: "You didn’t expect it, did you? I will not die!"
