True Solution of the Sword Dao
Chapter 434 - 399 Failure 2

Chapter 434: Chapter 399 Failure 2

The entire Sword Canon Space instantly dimmed. The vast expanse of stars appeared as if a massive door had opened within the space itself.

Ning Que slowly summoned a serpentine longsword in his hand.

Lin Fei’s disguise shattered instantly, and he coldly watched Ning Que, the Star Lord, as his black hair slightly fluttered in the wind. The golden mark on his forehead slowly emerged.

He had a premonition.

This battle, if not fought with all his might... he would die!!

****************

Qi Yinglong swallowed nervously, staring blankly at the instructor in front of him.

Not just him, but all the hundreds of core students inside the Sword Room were watching the instructor with a stunned expression.

Yuan Yue, dressed in white, held a white longsword, standing in the center of the Sword Room. Her ordinarily plain appearance revealed a different kind of icy allure under the reflection of the cold longsword. Around her were fifteen beer bottles arranged in a circle. The top halves of all the bottles had been neatly sliced off at the same height.

Just moments ago, Yuan Yue had stood still, merely vibrating the longsword in her hand slightly. Instantly, the necks of the fifteen surrounding bottles had fallen off.

"This is one of my Green Rainbow Swordsmanship’s signature techniques, the Formless Sword," Yuan Yue calmly sheathed her longsword. "Since you have chosen to learn my Green Rainbow Swordsmanship, you should understand this technique. My swordsmanship, unlike that of the other instructors, focuses on deception and the bizarre. So, be mentally prepared before learning it."

Qi Yinglong felt an unprecedented passion erupting within him. That peculiarly powerful swordsmanship was like the divine skills seen in martial arts novels and TV movies.

Suddenly, he found that even the tedious swordsmanship techniques he had practiced before had become interesting.

"Now, pair up, two students per group, and battle with sheathed swords. I need to see your fundamentals directly," Yuan Yue commanded loudly.

The Sword Room was very large. All these selected individuals were the elite of the entire Swordsmanship Club, the seeds about to enter the trial.

Yuan Yue didn’t know what the trial entailed, but it was ordered from above, and even she had to undergo a trial once.

Watching the young pairs practicing around her, she couldn’t help but remember the former president of the Swordsmanship Club, that boss Lin Fei.

Once, she had demonstrated her supposedly strong swordsmanship before him, thinking he was just an ordinary person who loved swordsmanship. But she never expected...

Yuan Yue’s mind suddenly flashed to the last time she saw Lin Fei.

That handsome young man holding golden light spots in his hands, that scene had remained frozen deep in her heart, never fading.

She slowly walked among the practicing boys and girls, closely observing the aptitude and foundations of these children.

All the students automatically split into two groups, leaving a passable path in the middle. Yuan Yue had only walked a few steps when another young girl entered the Sword Room, the girl carrying a white longsword at her waist, her face displaying a shy smile.

Yuan Yue recognized her. She was one of the first batch of core students, named Zhou Tingting, who seemed to have joined for other reasons initially. Her progress had been the worst among that group of students, but she had caught up later.

Zhou Tingting approached Yuan Yue from behind and whispered.

"The Chief Instructor requires us to select five sincere, simple, and talented students from among the core students, to join us in the first group entering the trial."

"Alright," Yuan Yue nodded. "I understand sincerity and talent, but what does a clean background mean?"

Zhou Tingting’s smile faded. "It means, the trial will be dangerous. A simple and clean background, easier to manage afterwards."

Yuan Yue was slightly startled.

"Understood. When is the trial?"

"Not determined yet, but it could happen at any time," Zhou Tingting spoke softly.

*******************

Countless planets slowly rotated in the starry sky. A vast galaxy emerged like a curtain behind Ning Que, the Star Lord.

He held a serpentine silver longsword, standing calmly opposite Lin Fei.

"My Sword Intent is to protect. The advantage of the Protecting Sword Intent is a significant increase in power, but it comes with no special effects and has a fatal weakness." He had no intention to attack, but spoke to himself.

"Your progress is rapid. I have never seen anyone whose realm has advanced as quickly as yours. It’s evident that you have begun to enter the initial stage of Sword Intent, holding a bit of the idea of protection, but more so, it’s just pure curiosity."

"Curiosity?" Lin Fei’s sword sheath instantly turned into countless black smoke, merging into the body of the Black Demon Sword. "Indeed, I am curious, what is the ultimate extent of that power? Life has been too boring... it seems like the world has no end, and I simply want to see if it really is endless or not."

Layers of gray-white carapace rapidly spread from his chest. Soon, his right side was completely covered with stone-like gray-white bone. Including half of his face, it seemed as if he were wearing a gray-white mask.

A golden flower slowly emerged within his black pupils.

Seeing the transformation in Lin Fei, Ning Que’s face subtly changed.

"Demonic power... Aren’t you afraid of exploding to death?"

"Does it matter?" Behind Lin Fei, a huge dragon-like creature appeared, bringing its blue dragon head close to him. It was the Divine Beast, Míng.

Míng’s large nostrils emitted two streams of blue sparks.

This image of the Divine Beast had also undergone significant changes and seemed to have transformed along with Lin Fei’s demonization.

The entire Míng’s body resembled a huge lizard, with a pair of immense bat wings on its back. On either side of its head, numerous gray-white spikes protruded backward, giving the appearance of wearing a spiked helmet.

Míng’s massive head rested beside Lin Fei, forming a stark contrast with the immense starscape opposite.

Ning Que ceased speaking. The serpentine longsword swung lightly.

Countless planets instantly flew out from behind him, raining down on Lin Fei like droplets, while a continuous piercing noise reverberated throughout the space.

Lin Fei leapt backward, landing on the spiky side of the Divine Beast. His eyes gleamed golden.

The beast roared in fury, its massive body lunging over like a small mountain. The distance of several meters was closed in an instant, meeting the barrage of planetoid phantoms head-on.

The relentless barrage of planetoid phantoms fiercely collided with the Divine Beast’s giant claws.

Bang Bang Bang!!

The continuous impact noises made the entire Sword Canon Space seem to shake.

Layers of transparent shockwaves continuously surged out from between them. Like white semi-transparent halos, they dispersed again and again.

The collision between the Divine Beast and the planets was at a stalemate. With each massive tremor, the beast tried to charge toward the Star Curtain, while the curtain continuously unleashed planet phantoms to hold back the beast.

Lin Fei lightly jumped, his whole body descending straight from the air. The Black Demon Sword unadornedly thrust downward.

Star Lord Ning Que pointed at the blade. Instantly, a blinding light burst forth from the spot he touched. Like the sun, beams of light exploded in all directions from the blade.

All seemed colorless, except for that blinding speck, slowly radiating countless white lights. The entire space seemed to be dyed white.

Lin Fei’s expression remained unchanged, deep blue flames spontaneously emerged beside him, a layer of thin golden veil flickered on his body, facing the glaring light below.

The blade of his Black Demon Sword quickly became enveloped in countless gray-white carapace material. It transformed into a gray-white longsword, directly connected to his right hand.

Lin Fei lightly flipped the longsword, grasping the blade upside down with the white tip pointing downward.

Star Lord Ning Que raised his Serpentine Sword, confronting it head-on.

A streak of blue brilliance fiercely collided with the white light spot like a meteor.

Boom!!!

An invisible shockwave instantly spread out.

All the grass around them vanished instantly, as if devoured by something, a huge hemispherical crater suddenly appeared centered around Star Lord Ning Que.

The Divine Beast and the Star Curtain were both hit by the backlash of the collision, exploding into countless light spots before gradually fading into oblivion.

Almost the instant the two disappeared,

Lin Fei and Star Lord Ning Que both turned pale, simultaneously injured.

The Twin Swords were locked together,

Lin Fei hung upside down, countless blue flames madly trying to swoop downward.

Ning Que held the Serpentine Sword, looking up at Lin Fei, a white semi-transparent energy membrane near the white light stubbornly resisting the blue fire.

Clang!!

Lin Fei lightly flipped backward, landing steadily dozens of meters away.

Shh!

A speck of blood directly splashed out from his arm.

Everything had returned to the beginning. Only now, the entire space, all the grass had completely vanished, leaving only bare earth.

"Didn’t you say ’one sword?’", Lin Fei calmly said. His wound quickly healed, leaving no trace.

"I broke my promise," Ning Que replied lightly, "You wanted to resurrect me, and I wanted to leave. I should have conceded, but unfortunately, it’s not me controlling my body now, it’s the Sword Canon... those are the rules."

He held his sword, its tip hanging down. A circle of silver light spots slowly emerged around him, automatically forming a silver ring suspended less than half a meter from his body, resembling a circle.

"Don’t touch this ring. Apart from me, anyone who touches it will be struck by their own full strength," he warned.

"No need," Lin Fei suddenly spoke. "I concede." His Black Demon Sword abruptly turned into numerous black smokes and dissipated.

This time, however, he knew that the Black Demon Sword had completely vanished. All the energy was completely depleted, with no possibility of recondensation. The evil spirit hidden in the sword also utterly perished with that last strike.

"Sword Master forfeits, trial over. Failed," announced the Sword Canon Space.

The light rings around Star Lord Ning Que abruptly disappeared, his Serpentine Sword also slowly becoming invisible.

"You are walking a tightrope," he said gravely.

"I know," Lin Fei responded expressionlessly.

"If the various powers do not merge, you will eventually be devoured by a burst of strength," Star Lord Ning Que gradually disappeared, but his voice still echoed in the space.

"Devoured...?" Lin Fei murmured softly.

After a while, he began to smile lightly.

A small test tube suddenly emerged in his hand. Inside the transparent liquid, a small blob of crimson blood quietly floated.

"Holy Spirit’s Blood..."

Shh!!

Numerous blood spots suddenly splattered from his body, countless tiny wounds appeared on his skin. Almost in an instant, he was completely covered in blood. (To be continued.
