Chapter 325: Chapter 246: Those who offend Purple Beard, though far away, shall be punished!

Xu Yue unleashed his power.

Yan Chuan suddenly felt immense pressure.

The four men wielded four swords, as if they were one.

Being in the midst, it was like being caught in a rapid current, or in a vortex, drifting with the flow, unable to control oneself.

"Sixth Grade!"

"Sixth Grade!"

"Sixth Grade!"

"Fifth Grade!"

In the midst of the clash with the Four Talents, as the sword lights exchanged, Yan Chuan roughly discerned their cultivation levels.

Three Sixth Grades!

One Fifth Grade!

This Sword Array formed by the Four Talents was nearly reaching the power of Seventh or Eighth Grade, putting pressure on Yan Chuan not less than when he faced the two god-like cult strongmen during the cult riot in Yingze City.

Incredibly strong!

However, times have changed.

Compared to the days before the Jian Province Competition finals, compared to facing the two god-like strongmen, Yan Chuan’s strength had been continually progressing over the past month.

Along the way, he used ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ to travel, meditated and cultivated ’Purple Mist Divine Skill’ during breaks, and had ’Yijinjing’ continuously circulating within him. With the support of the three Divine Skills, through rigorous practice, he had already reached the Postnatal Third Level, breaking into the Third Grade limit, his hard strength and hard cultivation had improved significantly compared to a month before.

This is cultivation.

In terms of martial arts, he was even more impressive.

’Xingyi Boxing’ had reached its peak.

He had also newly developed two Geng Level One Star Divine Skill Absolute Skills: ’Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill’ and ’Left and Right Mutual Combat Technique’. Although not yet demonstrated, they subtly enhanced Yan Chuan’s martial arts accomplishment.

Moreover, on the way to Purple Beard Mountain, he passed through two provinces and six counties, constantly setting up challenges and holding martial arts lectures, adding to his three days of martial arts lectures in Jian Province, and the eight days spent in the Jian Province Scripture Pavilion.

All of these!

Have become resources!

Despite being silent and steady, during this period, Yan Chuan’s strength improved not less than Wang Zhengyi, and only surpassed him.

The gap between the two grew larger.

This could be seen from the combat below Purple Beard Mountain—

Wang Zhengyi fiercely battled Gu Shiyou, needing Yan Chuan’s guidance to stabilize the situation.

While Yan Chuan, facing the ’Longwo Sword Formation’ laid by Xu Yue-led ’Purple Beard Four Talents’, showed no signs of defeat.

The gap was evident.

In such a situation, Yan Chuan didn’t even need to use much, just using ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ in conjunction with ’Dugu Nine Swords’, combined with the foundation of three Divine Skills, was enough to cope.

Wave Riding Micro Steps, maneuvering with agility!

Dugu Nine Swords, invincible at breaking swords!

Yan Chuan didn’t need to display more martial arts or reveal more hidden moves, just with this, he could handle it.

There was pressure.

But under the pressure of the ’Purple Beard Four Talents’ and ’Longwo Sword Formation’, Yan Chuan was also tempered, with ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ and ’Dugu Nine Swords’ continuously improving.

Yan Chuan kept breaking the formation, kept thinking, and kept advancing.

This battle!

Fought to his heart’s content!

And more than that.

Yan Chuan didn’t just ponder his own ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ and ’Dugu Nine Swords’, he kept talking non-stop, constantly expressing—

"Thrust, intercept and lift, continuous thrust, offense and defense combined, key attacking and defending points, simultaneous defense and attack, using illusion and reality, four swords strike together, advancing in upper, middle, and lower routes."

"Walking sword like floating clouds, covering one’s sight, the cooperation of four swords, strange and cunning. Piercing up and hanging down, flicking, waving, cutting, chopping, continuously."

"Using form to convey spirit, moving to nourish the form, outer training prioritizes nourishing the form, when energy is abundant, Qi flourishes, when Qi flourishes, spirit completes, when spirit completes, body is strong. A person is born from Qi, Qi follows spirit, spirit and Qi complement each other, spirit’s charm and poise, inseparably connected."

"Longwo Sword Formation!"

"Four-direction Longwo Sword!"

"Brilliant!"

Yan Chuan was in the formation, fighting vigorously.

He demonstrated ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ and ’Dugu Nine Swords’, after Xu Yue and the others truly unleashed their power, he found himself at a disadvantage within a hundred rounds, matched equally in two hundred rounds, but by three hundred rounds, while fighting, he kept talking, observing, thinking, and receiving feedback from ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ with disciples from the Purple Beard Sect. By this time, he had already grasped the intricacies and essence of the ’Longwo Sword Formation’ and ’Four-direction Longwo Sword’.

"Wang Ge!"

"Watch clearly!"

Yan Chuan raised a sword without further entangling, and with one sword fighting against four, stirred the falling leaves in the forest to whirl, as if in turbulent flows, the vortex among leaves interpreted the trajectory of strength.

Wang Ge widened his eyes, observing clearly, he saw ’Purple Beard Four Talents’ demonstrating the sword formation with utmost skill in changes of strength, yet it wasn’t just the Four Talents, Yan Chuan wielded his sword, amidst the clanking, with the edge slightly trembling, containing various strengths, the changes no less than the ’Longwo Sword Formation’.

Four Talents’ Sword Qi!

Yan Chuan’s Sword Qi!

Each developing differently, each demonstrating separately, yet also colliding within the sword formation—

Boom boom boom!

A great sound with subtle silence, followed by changes.

"This—"

Wang Ge’s eyes nearly popped out, his eyes filled with red veins, feeling a buzzing in his head, due to too much information to perceive and process.

For Wang Ge, just a single ’Longwo Sword Formation’ needed his utmost effort to observe and contemplate.

Now with more of Yan Chuan, adding countless changes, the amount of information increased by more than tenfold, clearly exceeding Wang Ge’s capacity. _{f r\eew,eb novel.c(o)(m)}

Fortunately.

This phase didn’t last long.

Just as Wang Ge reached his limit—

"Break!"

Yan Chuan shouted, breathing and opening sound, the strength in the air, the falling leaves paused, then with one sword four swords fell—

Pop pop pop!

Purple Beard Four Talents, four swords collectively fell from their hands!

With their weapons gone, this battle naturally saw Yan Chuan as the overwhelmingly victorious!

...

"Three hundred and thirty-five rounds!"

"Last month Zhuge Zhen broke this formation in just two hundred and four rounds."

"Although Yan Chuan is strong, he ultimately still doesn’t match Zhuge Zhen."

Seeing Yan Chuan break the formation, Yin Ye had been observing all along, constantly assessing where Yan Chuan’s strength stood. After the battle, he roughly understood.
