Chapter 397: Chapter 356: Sword Flight to Immortality, Overturning Seas and Rivers_2

It flashed through the air in an instant, already entering the battle fray.

A sword produced substance from nothingness; clearly nothing was seen, but as the sword light appeared, it had already pierced into Zhou Ping’an’s shoulder.

If not for the final moment when Zhou Ping’an slightly shifted his form, he would have been pierced through the heart.

This sword strike was both fast and hidden, coming without a trace, leaving without a shadow, so much so that even Green Lady didn’t know where to begin to warn him.

From this, it could be seen that although Saintess Yunling was raised delicately and her Sword Intent might not be the strongest, her understanding and depth in swordsmanship were still above Lady of the Wind and Thunder Sword Guard.

One could say she "surpassed her master."

"It’s the perfect time," she murmured.

Seeing Saintess Yunling descend from the sky, striking Zhou Ping’an divinely with a move from ’Sword Flight to Immortality,’ Lady Wei’s eyes flickered with a hint of joy, spotting an opportunity.

She took a deep breath, and the wind and thunder around her began to change drastically.

Boom...

The blue-white lightning suddenly flared intensely.

In the sound of the thunder explosion, the figure had already turned into nothingness.

One could only see a huge, dazzling ball of electricity at the spot, turning into a rainbow of light, flashing past in an instant.

Those with exceptional vision could vaguely make out...

At the tip of the rainbow of light, a cold and sharp edge was exposed.

Countless snakes of electricity coiled around the sharp point of the sword, aiming to pierce right through Zhou Ping’an’s throat.

"I’ve been waiting for you," Zhou Ping’an said lightly.

Brightness erupted from his body, his True Qi and Blood Essence boiling simultaneously; a point of blue-white starlight flickered between his eyebrows, his long sword gleamed with a touch of deep blue, and he swung it down fiercely.

Over these days, Zhou Ping’an, with over two hundred thousand Wish-Power Incense, hadn’t been idle.

Apart from using thirty thousand to condense the Starry Bone and tens of thousands to enhance various skills, his main focus on cultivation was the Canghai Sword Technique.

Especially the three ultimate moves of the Canghai Sword Codex.

He had cultivated them to Great Achievement, and to reach Completion was merely a matter of time.

Sword Technique and Fist Technique, unlike others, not only need to be understood but also need to be practiced into one’s bones, ingrained as an instinct.

It also required some time to practice until hands, eyes, body, and steps became one.

Once accustomed to the manner of unleashing the killing moves, he could step into Completion and enter a new realm.

’Boundless Ocean’ was in fact an advanced version of the basic Sword Technique, ’Ninth Level Layered Waves.’

The Sword Qi was strong and heavy, stacking endlessly; the force of one strike was like tens of thousands of tons of seawater condensed and rushing...

Coupled with Zhou Ping’an’s boundless strength, when he slashed out with this endless and boundless sword force, even an opponent two small realms higher wouldn’t dare to fight head-on.

This was both due to the exquisite Canghai Sword Technique of the Cloud Water Sect and because his own foundation was exceedingly solid.

Therefore, even if Lady Wei’s move was lightning-fast, and her Sword Intent was meticulous, she couldn’t withstand the heavy force of his sword technique when fought head-on.

And another move, ’Calming Waves of the Four Seas,’ was an advanced version of the basic blade technique, ’Ninth Turning of Wave Subduing Blade.’

As the move was executed, within ten yards around him, no breeze stirred, no wave was raised.

When Zhou Ping’an slashed out, in every direction, there were only glistening waves.

With slight undulations, it turned into a serene sea surface...

All thunder and flashes of lightning, everything that defied the earth’s gravity, under the might of this one slash, all turned tender, devoid of any power.

The delicate and soft threads of sword, branching into countless Sword Qi, entwined, pulled, and borrowed strength.

With just a touch of his blade, the roaring and whistling electric rainbow, like a limp snake, was led by Zhou Ping’an’s sword light, swirling around him, and striking directly at Saintess Yunling.

The Holy Maiden’s Flying Immortal Sword, creating something out of nothing, left people completely unable to anticipate the appearance of the sword light or how the move was executed; yet the sword had already hit the opponent.

Her eyebrows suddenly raised, and a hint of joy was revealed in the depths of her eyes.

She did not strike without cause, but when she did, it was bound to draw blood.

This Soaring Immortal Sword Scripture, personally snatched by the Red Lotus Matriarch from a great enemy, was in no way inferior to any of the three divine skills of the Red Lotus Sect.

Its attacking power and the marvelousness of its Sword Intent were even slightly superior to the Three Divine Skills.

As the sword light slashed down from the sky, the enemy wouldn’t even know how they were struck by the sword.

Just as she was about to pierce Zhou Ping’an with her Flying Immortal Sword and intended to follow through with a sweep of her wrist to cut the ignorant country bumpkin in two,

she found that her Divine Iron Sharp Sword, supremely sharp and capable of cutting hair, was as though stuck in a swamp, and it was extremely difficult to move.

The body of the enemy was clearly flesh and blood, and had shown no ability to withstand the edge of the sword just a moment ago, yet in an instant, it turned to a very soft force, locking the sword edge.

Where ten parts of strength would be effective, only one part remained.

Yunling maneuvered her sword to strike diagonally, not only failing to cut through Zhou Ping’an’s flesh but also being led by him to step forward.

Unable to strike again, she felt a surge of frustration and used the momentum to retreat by leaping backwards and withdrawing her sword.

He had just taken a step back, sword angled diagonally, ready to use the Soaring Immortal Sword Technique again.

Before his eyes, wild thunder raged, lightning surged like tides.

"Not good..."

Saintess Yunling prided herself on having been through numerous fierce battles.

She was not lacking in experience when it came to clashing with experts.

Yet, she had never fought such a bizarre battle before.

It seemed like a successful hit, but it didn’t count as a victory.

The two of them teamed up to attack, each with a higher Cultivation Realm than their opponent, but they could neither advance nor land substantial hits.

Now, what was stranger was that Nanny Wei, who was as close to her as a mother and daughter, had unleashed Wild Thunder Sword Qi at full force, aiming it directly at her.

This was utterly preposterous.

A sliver of doubt barely arose in her mind when Yunling immediately realized that it was the trick of that country lad.

His Sword Technique could actually leverage the opponent’s power against them, a Dou Zhuan Xingyi move.

He had redirected Nanny Wei’s killing move entirely onto her.

A moment’s delay and all would be lost.

As soon as the thought crossed Yunling’s mind, she knew she absolutely could not meet the attack head-on.

If she clashed with Lady Wei even once, neither advancing nor retreating would be possible. Any slight disruption in her energy could invite the opponent’s killing blow.

By then, it would truly be too late for regrets.

Fortunately, aside from diligently studying the Soaring Immortal Sword Scripture, the most effort and incense expended by Saintess Yunling had been on the Treading Void Step.

This stepping technique was acclaimed to let one step into the skies, covering hundreds of miles in an instant.

Although it might sound a bit exaggerated.

But, it wasn’t too far from the truth.

It was considered one of the top lightness skills in the world.

Stepping into the skies may be an overstatement, but taking a step into the void and gliding tens or hundreds of meters was certainly achievable.

In that moment, Yunling’s first reaction was to flash her sword light, ride on the lightning, and take a step backward, rapidly retreating.

Even though her arms were slightly numb from the shock of the Thunder and Lightning Sword Intent, she managed to dispel this deadly force, freeing herself from the sword circle.

She heard a soft shout beside her ear.

"Overturning Seas and Rivers!"

No sooner had Yunling taken a step back, did she find herself in a different position. As she hurriedly retreated backward, a strong wind roared and howled behind her, with even a hint of starlight.

Her heart trembled greatly, and her sword light became misty like smoke, shielding her back.

But it was too late; a heavy palm, like a mountain collapsing and ocean overturning, struck her back.

The impact drove the sword into her back, making her spine crackle and pop in rapid succession.

Her heart ached, and she vomited several chunks of inner organ fragments from her mouth.

Her body shot out like an arrow.

"I hate..."

Trouble had come from an unexpected quarter.

Saintess Yunling felt so frustrated she wanted to cry.

One misstep led to a total collapse.

Just in that moment, the opponent’s Sword Intent had revolved, performing Universe Reversal, swapping positions between her and Nanny Wei.

Her retreat had landed her right in the hands of the enemy.

This palm strike was brutally powerful.

’No, why is he using his palm?’

’Not using the sword?’

Saintess Yunling mustered a breath of True Qi; the Red Lotus Body-Substitution Death Curse had already collapsed in her Sea of Consciousness, the blazing Karmic Fire dimming slightly.

It was only then that she felt much more at ease, her True Qi and Sword Intent once again flowing smoothly. In an instant of stepping into the void to flee, she turned her head to look back.

She saw a head flying mid-air.

A fountain of blood gushed forth.

The head, with its long hair and crown, bushy eyebrows, and phoenix eyes, had an expression as cold as iron.

If not Nanny Wei, then who else could it be?
