The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 593 - 592: Heavenly-grade Martial Soul! Nine-element Sword Box!

Chapter 593: Chapter 592: Heavenly-grade Martial Soul! Nine-element Sword Box!

Jian Ruohan stood on the martial arts stage, his face devoid of emotion. His eyes, cold and detached, fixed on Feng Yunxiu. From within him, a chilling sword intention radiated outwards, causing ice crystals to form on the ground around him.

Feng Yunxiu spoke coldly, "Hmph, Jian Ruohan, it’s not that I underestimate you, but with your current cultivation level, you’re not my match. Challenge Lin Bai instead. With his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm, he will be easier to defeat!"

Hearing Feng Yunxiu belittle him like this, Lin Bai simply smiled, neither agreeing nor disputing.

Jian Ruohan said, "Even if I challenge Lin Bai and win, I will still challenge you. After all, a battle is destined between us today, whether you or I go first, what does it matter?"

"Feng Yunxiu, do you dare to fight?"

Jian Ruohan circulated his True Qi, his voice as cold as ice when he spoke it sent tremors through the whole Sword Discussion City.

This was more than a challenge!

Jian Ruohan was starting a war!

If Feng Yunxiu declined, it would be a sign of cowardice.

Feng Yunxiu, caught between a rock and a hard place, scowled and leaped onto the stage, landing opposite Jian Ruohan. He spoke, "Why wouldn’t I dare!"

As Feng Yunxiu made his way onto the stage, the entire arena erupted into gasps of surprise.

"Jian Ruohan of the fourth seat is going to battle Feng Yunxiu of the second seat!"

"The real monstrous duel is about to begin!"

At that moment, whether it was the Sword Cultivators in the Sword Discussion City or the warriors from the Lingdong 700 States, all were stirred by the sight.

Jian Ruohan was the cherished daughter of the Famous Sword Manor, known as one of the Four Sword Emperors, and was also one of the top five absolute masters among the Sword Cultivators in the Lingdong 700 States!

Meanwhile, Feng Yunxiu, an uncrowned king. Many people claimed that Feng Yunxiu was stronger than Yejian Qiu and was truly the first Sword Cultivator of Lingdong.

Both were figures emblematic of the Lingdong 700 States, with great reputations. Moreover, they were universally acknowledged by all warriors in Lingdong 700 States as exceptional Sword Cultivators.

Their fight was bound to be riveting.

Jian Ruohan chuckled, "Since we’re already fighting, let’s not waste any more time sounding each other out. Let’s use our real skills."

"Martial Soul! Ice Soul Divine Sword!"

"Third-order Sword Intent!"

Instantly, Jian Ruohan’s face became serious, her Martial Soul shimmered, and the Earth Grade 9 Ice Soul Divine Sword appeared above her head.

With the release of her Third-order Sword Intent, the temperature of heaven and earth plummeted to freezing in a moment.

Jian Ruohan’s Third-order Sword Intent was immensely powerful, drawing upon the freeze of heaven and earth, instantaneously turning the world into an Ice Heaven Snow Cellar!

Whoosh, whoosh —

With the howling of the chilling wind, a snowstorm arose.

The entire martial arts stage had turned into a snowy landscape.

Dugu Yun nodded in satisfaction, "Hehe, it seems that Jian Ruohan has really managed to cultivate the Heavenly Grade Second Level martial arts skills from your Famous Sword Manor well. Her use of Third-order Sword Intent is so effortless, especially paired with her Ice Soul Divine Sword Martial Soul, she has created a uniquely cold Sword Domain!"

"Famous Sword Manor has indeed rightly nurtured its disciple."

Dugu Yun laughed contentedly.

Hearing Dugu Yun shower Jian Ruohan with such praise, Jian Qianqiu couldn’t help but respond, "You flatter us, Senior Dugu. Ruohan only practices casually!"

Jian Ruohan’s entire being was of the cold attribute.

Her Martial Soul was a cold attribute, her cultivation skill was of the cold attribute, and the sword she used was forged of chilly iron.

Now displaying her Martial Soul and Sword Intent, she immediately invoked the forces of heaven and earth, forming a Sword Domain.

The sheer power of this Sword Domain could defeat a common master at the Grand Completion of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm.

Feng Yunxiu scoffed, "Fine then, I don’t want to waste too much time on you either. Let’s just end it quickly."

"Martial Soul! Nine-element Sword Box!"

"Third-order Sword Intent!"

Feng Yunxiu remained still, and above his head, a cloud of white mist swirled, revealing a sword box that contained nine swords.

These nine swords in the Nine-Element Sword Box all emitted a terrifying aura of power.

Dugu Yun nodded and said, "Feng Yunxiu’s Nine-element Sword Box is a Heavenly Grade First Grade Martial Soul. His Martial Soul Secret Skill is also formidable. It appears that Jian Ruohan will have difficulty defeating Feng Yunxiu."

Jian Qianqiu’s expression turned exceedingly solemn seeing that the sword skill and the power of Martial Soul displayed by Feng Yunxiu was no less than Jian Ruohan’s, and even seemed to outshine Jian Ruohan’s.

Feng Yunxiu was the first formidable rival that Jian Ruohan had encountered in his life.

These two prodigies in the Sword Art exuded Third-order Sword Intention, engulfing the entire Martial Arts Stage. Ferocious winds were howling, and the wind of chill echoed with loud rumbling sounds.

Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, deeply sensing the strength of the two!

Suddenly, Jian Ruohan rushed out. His Fifth-grade Spiritual Sword exuded a chilling air, striking fiercely towards Feng Yunxiu’s chest.

Whoosh——

The Sword Aura erupted, and a chillingly sharp Sword Aura lashed out.

Feng Yunxiu hastily displayed his Sword Skill to counterattack.

With a loud boom, their first moves met and the resulting power shook the entire Martial Arts Stage.

"Divine Power! Ice Heaven Snow Cellar!"

Jian Ruohan’s face tensed, and he shouted in a cold voice.

From the Heaven and Earth, the power of the icy cold descended that seemed not to have melted in billions of years. The Sword came crashing down forcefully, as if it desired to shatter this frozen world!

Feng Yunxiu, watching Jian Ruohan coldly, scoffed, "Jian Ruohan, I’ve told you before, challenging me is a wrong decision!"

"Now let me show you the power of the Heavenly Grade Martial Soul!"

"Martial Soul Secret Skill! The First Sword of the Nine-element Sword Box! Beast King Sword!"

Feng Yunxiu sneered, and a divine sword flew out from his Nine-element Sword Box, attaching itself to Feng Yunxiu’s Sixth Grade Divine Sword.

Instantly, the roar of the king of beasts emanated from the Divine Sword.

Upon seeing this, Lin Bai’s heart stirred dramatically, and his eyes shrank. From Feng Yunxiu’s Sword, he felt an unstoppable force akin to a fierce tiger descending the mountain, ready to kill all beings in the world!

With a Sword strike, Feng Yunxiu blocked Jian Ruohan’s Sword directly.

The first Sword of the Nine-element Sword Box was hugely powerful. Not only did it stop Jian Ruohan’s offensive, but it even shattered Jian Ruohan’s Sword Domain!

Jian Ruohan expression was horrified, and he hurriedly retreated.

"Ice Wall!"

Jian Ruohan shouted, and layers of ice walls congealed in front of him based on the icy power of Heaven and Earth. There were twenty-five layers of ice walls he intended to defend against Feng Yunxiu’s Sword.

"Laughable, it’s but a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

"The second Sword of the Nine-element Sword Box! Strike Mountain!"

Feng Yunxiu sneered, his eyes flashed a cold light. A Sword rushed out, and the powerful Sword Aura penetrated the twenty-plus layers of ice walls in front of Jian Ruohan, hitting Jian Ruohan in the chest.

Thump——

The moment Jian Ruohan was sent flying, he spat out a mouthful of blood!

Jian Ruohan was wounded by Feng Yunxiu in just three moves!

This outcome dumbstruck all the Warriors watching.

"Just within three moves, Jian Ruohan got injured by Feng Yunxiu!"

"A Heavenly Grade Martial Soul can leap up heights. It indeed deserves its reputation!"

"Yes! The Heavenly Grade Martial Soul is too strong! Moreover, Feng Yunxiu is handling a Sixth Grade Spirit Tool. The Sword in Jian Ruohan’s hand is just a mere Fifth-grade Spiritual Instrument, there is too much difference."

"Martial Soul, Martial Skill, Martial Soul Secret Skill, Spiritual Tools, all are inferior to Feng Yunxiu’s. Even if Jian Ruohan loses, it would be justified!"
