Chapter 546: 359 Chapter Father-Daughter Conflict + 360 Chapter Seal Formation Blocks the Door_2

He asked himself, his sword, and the cold sun between heaven and earth every day, how could he not understand that all his attacks, his ways of exerting force, had in fact been anticipated by his daughter? Every bit of his strength only pushed him further into the trap.

The more forcefully he used his strength, the quicker he was defeated.

It was as if...

It was as if his opponent were a worm inside his own gut, knowing and understanding everything.

"So, if I now find my strike ineffective and wish to retreat and launch another attack, would she have anticipated that too?"

This thought had just surfaced in his mind.

When suddenly, a vast torrent of sword waves appeared before his eyes.

The sword waves overlapped endlessly, omni-present.

They were like the moonlight in the sky, sinking into people’s hearts, yet also like the boundless ocean suddenly roaring...

The weight of the sword’s motion was almost unbelievable; it was hard to believe it could be wielded by a woman.

It contained not only the hidden force of ten thousand tons of water but also pulled to the decisiveness of his own Hanyang Bleeding strike.

Puchi...

Lin Zhongde managed only to hold his sword across his chest when his arm trembled.

His broad back and sword, along with his right arm at the shoulder, separated from his body...

A flash of blood.

The magnificent and vast sword light suddenly softened.

As his cry of agony just uttered, it swept past like a spring breeze brushing willow, under the melting moonlight.

Whoosh...

The edge of the sword cut the ground, leaving several cracks.

Lin Zhongde’s body soared into the air, his hands and feet already detached from his body.

Only one stick-like human figure heavily crashed down onto the street.

Uttering a scream that shook the heavens and earth.

Father and daughter divided by life and death.

Three strikes severed his four limbs...

Pitiful.

Lamentable.

Tragic!

"Whoosh..."

From all sides, a series of gasps could be heard.

If one looked at the figure on the white horse wearing the Green-Clothed Ghost Mask, it was as if they were seeing a demon or god.

Her sword technique did not appear fast or sharp; it was simply ordinary, unremarkable.

But, only when one was her opponent could they truly understand the sharp terror within...

Who was Lin Zhongde?

He had held the title of the top swordsman in Guangyun City for five years straight.

During this period, countless people from both Jiangnan and Jiangbei coveted his fame, attempting to knock him down, only to be defeated miserably.

The blood of numerous masters had stained the "Hanyang Bleeding Sword’s" tremendous reputation bright red.

Even if one ignored these bloody achievements.

Just looking at his Heavenly Resonance Rank and the divine will of a grandmaster would reveal that such a person, with such skill in the sword, was indeed extraordinary.

Not to mention his dominance over one prefecture, it was more than sufficient.

But what happened?

Under Lin Huaiyu’s sword, he didn’t last three strikes.

He didn’t even understand how he had been defeated.

This fact, even for Cloud Water Sect Inner Residence Elders Gu Mingxiao and Fang Chengdong, wasn’t entirely clear.

As they watched the devastating father-daughter conflict below, their brows were deeply furrowed.

"What do you think?"

"It’s the Sword Intent. The young girl created her own Mingyue’s Sword Intent, its quality shockingly high; even surpassing two realms, Lin Zhongde’s Freezing Sun Sword Intent still fell short."

"No, the Sword Intent is just icing on the cake; the real deciding factor was skill. Lin Zhongde’s sword technique might have reached the mortal refining limit, his heart-mind as sharp as a blade, resonating with heaven and earth. However, it couldn’t break through Lin Huaiyu’s Protective Blade Circle at all."

Gu Mingxiao’s eyes sparkled with admiration as he continued, "This situation indicates that the young girl has mastered at least three Perfect Blade Techniques and fused them into one. Lin Zhongde’s sword technique, compared to hers, is far inferior."

If Zhou Ping’an had heard Gu Mingxiao’s words, he certainly would have applauded the other’s sharp insight.

However, he understood more than anyone.

This battle, in actuality, was not influenced by any sword technique or Martial Intent, but by See Thousands of Miles, Heart-mind Clarity.

Once one reached the level of Martial Intent after Ninth Level Mortal Refinement, Gang Qi, Blood Essence, and Physique were already refined to Completion. The real comparison lay in the levels of Divine Will.

Those with Divine Will Reaching the Heavens could manipulate the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, aiding them against enemies, controlling themselves and everything around them.

This is the real reason why a Grandmaster far surpasses ordinary experts in the Martial Intent Realm.

But, in Lin Huaiyu’s case, this tactic was ineffective.

Her Martial Intent was self-sufficient, unaffected, and uncontrolled.

Her blade technique was seamlessly Perfect, claimed to be unbreakable.

Together with Clarifying the mind and rectifying one’s intent, her transparency of mind foresaw her opponent’s moves; she could even predict the flow of their Qi-Blood and the movement of their Gang Qi beforehand.

In such a state, it was hard for her to be defeated.

Using the enemy’s force against them, finding gaps to strike—these were just basic tactics.

Facing Lin Huaiyu wearing the Ghost Mask, Zhou Ping’an, if confronting her, would also rely only on his robust physique and ultimate moves to force through and shatter her blade circle.

Lin Zhongde evidently could not achieve that.

Therefore, even before they clashed, the outcome was already determined.

"Be careful."

As Lin Zhongde fell to the ground with a dreadful scream.

Lin Huaiyu had just sheathed her sword...

From a distance, two soft cries were heard.

At that moment, the moon seemed to be covered with a layer of blood-red gauze, no longer clear.

In the whirling wind, trees swayed, and amidst the mournful howling, a huge, ferocious Blood Shadow, towering three to four yards high, suddenly pounced.

The Blood Shadow was ethereal as smoke, swaying in the wild wind, moving as fast as an illusion.

As it approached Lin Huaiyu, the Blood Shadow suddenly solidified.

Transforming into a blood-colored muscular creature, with fingers as sharp as swords, it reached out and grabbed Lin Huaiyu’s neck.

As it passed by, the breath dispersing.

Walls, trees, grass, and mudstones all turned into viscous, filthy blood slurry...
