The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 474 - 473: Sword-controlling Skill

Chapter 474: Chapter 473: Sword-controlling Skill

On the cliffside, the master and disciple stood shoulder to shoulder, overlooking the vast expanse of the Tianhan Mountain Range.

Ling Tianzi smiled and said, "Lin Bai, your Flying Sword does not have a name yet. Give it a name, as this sword may accompany you throughout your battles in life."

"It should indeed have a name. Given that my knowledge of Flying Swords comes from you, and the sword was also made by you, Master, I would like for you to do the honor of naming it." Lin Bai responded with a smile.

Ling Tianzi nodded with a smile. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let’s call it Dragon’s Eye."

"Dragon’s Eye, the eye of a dragon!" Lin Bai repeated the name.

Ling Tianzi said, "When the divine dragon is angered, its eyes can destroy all the heavens. I hope that this sword will accompany you and vanquish all your enemies, like the wrath of a divine dragon, leaving nothing behind."

Lin Bai nodded in agreement, "Excellent, Dragon’s Eye it is."

"Dragon’s Eye Sword!"

"Dragon’s Eye Flying Sword!"

Now that the Dragon’s Eye Flying Sword had a name, Lin Bai was very pleased.

Ling Tianzi said, "Since you have successfully cultivated your Flying Sword, I will now teach you a Flying Sword Skill, known as the Sword-controlling Skill."

"Ride the wind with your sword and cover 108,000 miles in an instant!"

Lin Bai listened with joy, but he couldn’t help asking, "Master, what is a Flying Sword Skill?"

Ling Tianzi replied with a chuckle, "In the splendid history of our world, we are not the only master and disciple duo that can wield Flying Swords. Within the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, many experts have also practiced the art of Flying Swords."

"And they found that using regular martial arts techniques with a Flying Sword reduces the power by eighty percent."

"Although using divine powers with a Flying Sword can enhance its power, divine powers are so difficult to comprehend. Many Flying Sword Warriors are unable to master even half a divine technique!"

"Therefore, these Flying Sword Warriors pondered deeply and created a form of martial arts technique that only suits the use of Flying Swords. This is known as the Flying Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai then commented with enlightenment, "So using regular martial arts with a Flying Sword reduces its power. However, it is already impressive enough if divine powers can be used with Flying Swords."

Lin Bai didn’t feel any disappointment because regular martial arts could not be used with Flying Swords.

After all, Lin Bai already knew five divine techniques.

One of them was Gentle Sword.

And the Four Swords of Wind and Snow.

He had no trouble unleashing the power of the Flying Sword.

However, being able to learn a martial technique specifically created for Flying Swords was a delightful surprise for Lin Bai.

Lin Bai expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for imparting this knowledge, Master!"

"Indeed, good."

Ling Tianzi chuckled lightly, pointed at a distance, and a piece of text that was profoundly mysterious emerged in Lin Bai’s mind.

The Sword-controlling Skill, ride the wind with your sword, cover 108,000 miles in an instant!

Lin Bai, who had received the text of the Sword-controlling Skill, began to digest it gradually.

It took an entire day for Lin Bai to have a small accomplishment in cultivating the Sword-controlling Skill.

The next day.

Lin Bai stood on the cliffside, his eyes scanning across the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Tianhan Mountain Range.

Suddenly, Lin Bai’s eyes lit up. A ray of golden light burst out from his pupils.

From his eyes shot a golden light, transforming into a long sword.

"Sword-controlling Skill!"

Lin Bai silently recited the spell in his heart, and the Flying Sword grew larger as it faced the wind. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a three-meter-long giant sword, stopping in front of Lin Bai.

"Ha ha."

Lin Bai smiled triumphantly, jumped, and landed stably on the giant sword.

"Sword-controlling Skill, take me flying!"

As Lin Bai made this excited remark, the Flying Sword under his feet streaked, turning into a streak of light, and disappeared into the atmosphere. The next moment, when Lin Bai came back to his senses, he was already 10,000 miles away!

Lin Bai practiced the art of Flying Swords incessantly in the Tianhan Mountain Range.

One day, two days, three days, four days, half a month passed.

Half a month later.

Lin Bai stood in a canyon of the Tianhan Mountain Range.

In front of Lin Bai, a red-spotted long snake, with cultivation at the Heaven Martial Realm Fifth Layer, lashed out its crimson tongue at him.

Roar—

The Demon Snake, in rage, twisted its body and approached Lin Bai within a few breaths.

"You beast! You’re courting death!"

"Flying Sword! Go!"

With a subtle smile on his face, Lin Bai stood with his hands behind his back, watching the Demon Snake attack him.

No sooner had Lin Bai’s voice died down, a golden flying sword flew out from between his brows at his thought, and ferociously attacked the Demon Snake.

The Demon Snake, seeing the flying sword approaching, cried out in terror and ran away.

The Demon Snake fled at an incredible speed, covering nine hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Lin Bai, sneering, stood his ground. At his thought, the flying sword pursued and pinned the Demon Snake to the ground.

Shortly after, the flying sword slowly flew back to Lin Bai’s side.

"Hahaha."

Lin Bai broke into a fit of jubilant laughter.

At that moment, Ling Tianzi’s voice came, "Lin Bai, now that you’ve mastered the Flying Sword, come back."

"Alright."

Upon hearing Ling Tianzi’s voice, Lin Bai glanced at the Dragon’s Eye Flying Sword and lightly laughed, "Come, Sword-controlling Skill!"

The Dragon’s Eye Flying Sword shook, transforming into a giant sword three meters long. Lin Bai leapt up, stepped on the flying sword and soared into the sky, crossing ten thousand miles in an instant to return to the cliffside.

Ling Tianzi, looking pleased, said to Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, in just over half a month, you’ve thoroughly mastered the Flying Sword Skill. From now on, it depends on you to comprehend the mysteries of this skill."

"This is all I can teach you."

Lin Bai respectfully replied, "Master, you’ve already taught me much, I will live up to your expectations!"

Ling Tianzi continued, "Lin Bai, I have one more thing to tell you."

Lin Bai noticed the solemn expression on Ling Tianzi’s face and asked, "Master, what is it?"

"Flying Sword Self-destruction!"

Ling Tianzi stated.

Lin Bai inquired, "Master, what is Flying Sword Self-destruction?"

Ling Tianzi explained, "The Flying Sword Self-destruction, is, after all, crafted from the world’s utmost spirit materials. If it explodes, the power unleashed is infinite."

"Taking your Flying Sword as an example, if it explodes, it can instantly kill a warrior at the peak of the Heavenly Elixir Realm!"

"Moreover, the power of the Flying Sword Self-destruction will increase as your Cultivation improves!"

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai gasped in amazement.

This Flying Sword, exploding, it can kill a master of the Heavenly Elixir Realm!

Can it be that powerful?

Ling Tianzi chuckled, "Don’t doubt it. To craft this Flying Sword of yours, besides your Dragon Bone Gold, I also used many other rare materials."

"For instance, Primordial True Gold, Qingmu Divine Iron, Burning Iron ..."

Ling Tianzi went on to list several hundred materials for Flying Swords.

After listening, Lin Bai was stunned.

Lin Bai wryly said, "Master, according to what you just listed, the total cost of all those sword materials, is it more than 10 Billion Spirit Stones?"

Ling Tianzi lightly replied, "It is nearly 10 Billion."

Lin Bai’s eyes widened and he broke out in a sweat.

Lin Bai understood, his Dragon Bone Gold was only worth two to three billion spirit stones. The materials worth over ninety billion spirit stones were provided by Ling Tianzi.

"Once the Flying Sword explodes, the remnant soul within it will also be destroyed, and your Divine Soul will be severely damaged."

"So, Lin Bai, unless there is no other choice, never use the Flying Sword Self-destruction!"

"However, if you truly find yourself in a desperate situation and must rely on the Flying Sword Self-destruction to survive, do not hesitate!"

Lin Bai nodded profoundly.

If the Flying Sword explodes and the remnant soul is destroyed, Lin Bai will lose one third of his Divine Soul!

An incomplete Divine Soul, to any person, would be a severe blow!

Lin Bai respectfully said, "Disciple understands!"
