The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1488 - 1485: Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!

Chapter 1488: Chapter 1485: Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!

The sword exchange just now happened in the blink of an eye, and many of the observing Warriors hadn’t even managed to see it clearly when they saw Zhu Lei scurrying away in a sorry state, over a kilometer out!

"What just happened?"

"Why did Senior Brother Zhu Lei get injured?"

"I don’t know, Dongfang Bai’s Sword Skill was too fast, I didn’t see it clearly."

"Although I don’t know what happened, seeing the blood hole on Zhu Lei’s throat, I fear that if Zhu Lei hadn’t retreated in time just now, that sword could have taken his life!"

Many of the observing Warriors, when looking at the disheveled Zhu Lei, revealed a hint of coldness in their Eyes.

"Senior Brother Zhu Lei actually got injured! How is that possible!" a group of Zhu Clan Warriors exclaimed in terror, to them, Zhu Lei was like a God, how could he possibly be injured.

Even if Zhu Lei were to be injured, it should only happen at the hands of the other few Junior Sword Masters, how could he possibly be hurt by Lin Bai, a Warrior at the Ninth Level of the Yin Saint Realm?

Atop Cloud Top, Sword Venerable said indifferently: "Ten-Step Sword!"

Gui Jing nodded lightly and said: "That’s right, Ten-Step Sword, the Alone old man’s signature skill from years ago. However, it was said that before the Alone old man died, he had already disassembled this ultimate technique, scattering it around Lingnan. Dongfang Bai’s fortune is rather good, having actually found this Ten-Step Sword’s Cultivation Technique."

Sword Venerable said: "That’s not all! His mastery in the Ten-Step Sword is extremely profound, having already cultivated to the ’Kill in a Hundred Steps’ of the Second Floor. If Zhu Lei hadn’t retreated quickly just now, that sword could have killed him!"

Gui Jing said with a light laugh: "Zhu Lei underestimated his opponent too much, if he knew that Dongfang Bai had the title of King of Thousand Victories in the Reincarnation Arena, he wouldn’t have been so careless! Nor would he have found an opening in the exchange just now and been almost killed by a single sword!"

Sword Venerable sneered: "Humph! When he knows that Dongfang Bai has the title of one of the Nine Genius Demons of the Lingnan Continent, he shouldn’t have underestimated him, let alone the fact that Dongfang Bai is also the King of Thousand Victories of the Reincarnation Arena."

Gui Jing gave a slight smile and nodded in agreement.

"There are countless geniuses on the Lingnan Continent, and now there are only nine Monstrous Geniuses, why are they so rare? It is because these nine are the future Hegemonies of the Lingnan Continent!"

"To be deemed a Monstrous Genius, each of these Warriors, in terms of Martial Soul, temperament, Realm of Comprehension, intelligence, Cultivation, and understanding, are far ahead of other Warriors in the same realm."

Sword Venerable stated this mildly.

Listening to Sword Venerable’s tone, it seemed as if he understood quite a bit about Monstrous Geniuses.

"Just watch, if Zhu Lei still behaves so carelessly, he will surely die at the hands of Dongfang Bai today," Sword Venerable spoke with a placid expression.

Hearing Sword Venerable’s words, no one was more anxious than Mizuka!

The master of Mizuka was tied to the Zhu Family; once Zhu Lei is killed by Dongfang Bai, and if Dongfang Bai continues to entangle with the Zhu Family, then sooner or later Mizuka will be dragged out!

What Mizuka presently hoped for the most was for Zhu Lei to kill Dongfang Bai without holding back!

Zhu Lei’s face turned gloomy, he reached out and touched the wound on his throat, his eyes grew cold, and with a hint of anger, he stared at Lin Bai: "I nearly had a mishap just due to a moment of carelessness."

"Dongfang Bai, I must say, the Nine Genius Demons of the Lingnan Continent truly possess extraordinary strength!"

"But, since you didn’t kill me with that sword just now, you will no longer have another chance!"

"You said let me see what real Sword Art is, now let me show you what real Sword Art is!"

"Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!"

Zhu Lei’s entire body shook, and an overwhelming power began to fill the air.

The grand sword might, spreading outward as if a celestial deity had descended.

Within this surge of sword intention, even the Nether Sword in his hand grew excited.

"Tongtian Sword Skill!" Lin Bai was taken aback, suddenly recalling that Zhu Lei, as a Junior Sword Venerate, was qualified to cultivate the first volume of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s secret "Tongtian Sword Skill"!

Lin Bai stared at Zhu Lei with a dumbfounded look, his expression turning ice-cold.

The Tongtian Sword Skill, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s closely guarded secret, not something you could cultivate unless you had one hundred billion Contribution Points or the position of Junior Sword Venerate. Otherwise, you’d never have the chance to learn the Tongtian Sword Skill!

Even now, Lin Bai still didn’t understand what the Tongtian Sword Skill really was!

At this moment, as Zhu Lei displayed it, a powerful force surged within him, his aura climbing higher and higher, and with it, his comprehension of the Sword Art also exploded in intensity. At this instant, Zhu Lei seemed like an invincible Sword God that one dared not face directly!

Sword Venerable and Gui Jing, seeing Zhu Lei perform the Tongtian Sword Skill, instantly showed dark expressions on their faces, both fully aware that unless something unexpected happened, Zhu Lei would kill Lin Bai after using the Tongtian Sword Skill!

And Mizuka, whose face had been tense until now, finally relaxed, and a smile unconsciously formed at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself: I’d forgotten that Zhu Lei still had a trump card! Now that the Tongtian Sword Skill is displayed, with Zhu Lei’s current cultivation, he will definitely be able to slay Lin Bai effortlessly!

"It’s the Tongtian Sword Skill!"

"The Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s closely guarded secret!"

"So powerful!"

Whether it was the warriors watching the battle, the warriors from the Zhu Clan, or the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain, all their faces showed horror, realizing that Zhu Lei, after performing the Tongtian Sword Skill, seemed like an embodiment of the Sword God, invincible!

Zhu Lei, bathed in bursts of crimson light, appeared like a Fiery Sword God, his raging and mocking eyes fixed on Lin Bai: "Dongfang Bai, to force me to use the Tongtian Sword Skill, you can die with honor!"

"The Tongtian Sword Skill! It can double my strength, and even increase the power of my sword techniques!"

"This battle, your defeat is not unjust!"

Zhu Lei grinned malevolently, bathed in crimson glow, in an instant he lunged downwards with a slash, the sword light shattering the heavens as it descended in front of Lin Bai.

Boom—

Even before the sword hit Lin Bai, the horrifying force was already crushing the heavens to the brink of collapse!

"So the Tongtian Sword Skill can enhance his strength and the might of his sword art! Currently, Zhu Lei only has the cultivation of the First Level of the Yangshen Realm, but after using the Tongtian Sword Skill, he can even battle against the peak warriors of the Second Level of the Yangshen Realm."

"And this is just the first volume of the Tongtian Sword Skill; if he cultivated the second volume, wouldn’t his sword technique effectiveness double again?" Lin Bai said with some astonishment in his heart.

Looking over the Lingnan Continent today, there are only six cultivators of the "Tongtian Sword Skill", five of them being the Junior Sword Masters of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, and the one other is the peerless Sword Venerable of the Cloud Top, known as the Sect Leader Supreme who could change the landscape of the Lingnan Continent!

At this moment, the Sword Venerable on the Cloud Top spoke indifferently: "The Tongtian Sword Skill is so formidable not merely because it can enhance strength and augment sword might. Most importantly, it is different from other secret skills..."

"Other techniques that increase strength all have time limits!"

"But the Tongtian Sword Skill... has no limit!"

Sword Venerable narrowed his eyes, his face composed.
