Chapter 59: Dueling Swords (Part 2)

  Now idle, not just Lu Yuan.

  Apart from those two 9th-generation Sword Sages handling the aftermath, basically all of the more than ten True Disciples were idle.

  When it comes to Lu Yuan, Ye Fang and Ye Yuan, these three good foodies and wine lovers, when they have nothing to do, they can still find something delicious to eat and drink, and spend their days quickly. As for others, when they have nothing to do, they really don't know what to do. At this moment of boredom, it was heard that Lu Yuan was going to compete with Wei Bei and Shen Luo in a sword fight, and everyone gathered around involuntarily.

  Lu Yuan is the strongest among the eight true disciples from Beifeng.

  Wei Bei and Shen Luo were the two strongest among the seven true disciples of Nanfeng.

  What's more, now I've heard that Wei Bei and Shen Luo are going to join forces to attack him. One practices the Hundred Transformations Cloud Sword, while the other practices the Thousand Illusions Mist Sword, which naturally makes things even more interesting.

  But in a moment's time, people who were originally in their own rooms all squeezed out.

  However, at this time before the duel, no one spoke.

  Such a good hand with a sword, the atmosphere is quite tense, and everyone is afraid of breaking this sound.

  "Cuckoo!" A yellow oriole flew up from the rockery, and a fish jumped out of the pond.

  At this moment, Wei Bei has already drawn his sword. With one move, it's the Hundred Changing Cloud Sword. The sword style is constantly jumping and changing unpredictably. However, the changes in his swordsmanship haven't really entered Lu Yuan's heart. The sword intent of the Hundred Changing Cloud Sword is also the cloud-like sword intent. Although it has transformed into this set of Hundred Changing Cloud Sword techniques, which are strange and unpredictable, to be honest, they haven't really entered Lu Yuan's heart either. He has grasped the most core sword intent, so all external moves are false.

  Of course, although it was so, the other true disciples who saw Wei Bei's swordsmanship couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Wei Bei's swordsmanship was quite strange.

  "The Clouds are Billowy" This move is billowy clouds, in the endless cloud momentum, you can't see where the sword is at all.

  "When the sword is swung, it's like dark clouds rolling in, surging towards you with the momentum of splashing ink."

  "This 'white cloud faint' style is extremely casual and equivalent to abstract."

  "Cloud Traveling Four Forms", once this form is applied, the sword moves and travels, fundamentally unaware of where the sword is, and will be stabbed from where.

  ……

  On the other side, Shen Luo also started using his Thousand Illusion Mist Sword, which was a pretty good sword technique.

  "The Flower in the Fog" style has emerged, the sword is like a flower in the fog, seemingly real and fake at the same time, existing between reality and illusion. You think this move is real, but actually it's fake, the real sword is behind your back; you think this sword is fake, yet it immediately turns into a real one.

  "The smoke and mist fill the sky" This sword is wielded, nowhere can be seen, only smoke and mist are visible.

  "This 'smoke disperses and fog scatters' move is similar to the sword technique of 'wind flows and clouds disperse', both are essentially techniques that consume the opponent's strength."

  "The Great Fog" is a majestic and desolate sword move.

  "Doku no Taki" is a famous finishing move in Senpuu no Kensei, and it's also a hidden one that's hard to find.

  It can be said that whether it's Wei Bei's ever-changing cloud sword or Shen Luo's thousand-phantom misty sword, both are cultivated to a very deep level, and it's no wonder they're from the Sword Sect. The two people's swordsmanship has obviously reached the second level of sword techniques, looking quite accomplished.

  Actually, if he really wanted to deal with Bai Bian Yun Jian, Lu Yuan could break it very easily. After all, he had grasped the sword intent of the clouds, and no matter what cloud-based sword technique was used in front of him, it would be useless. As for that Qian Huan Wu Jian, although it looked quite profound, if he really wanted to duel with himself, he could use Kuang Feng Guo Jing to forcefully break through this move.

  The fierce wind passes through the border, and the sword moves like a mad wind.

  A strong wind blows by, and no matter what kind of fog it is, it will disperse.

  Wind system, originally slightly Kumo system.

  Whether it's Weibo or Shenyue, one-on-one with oneself can easily win without any trouble.

  However, when the ever-changing cloud sword and the thousand phantom mist sword are combined, they seem to have formed another set of sword techniques, which already has some semblance of the Nanfeng Zhenfeng Sword Technique's 1300 styles of changing clouds and mist. The power is so great that it increases the variability of these two sets of sword techniques by several times.

  If that was all, it would be fine. But now, Lu Yuan has discovered the most bizarre aspect of this duo's combination. He quickly spotted the weakness in Bai Bian Yun Jian, but as soon as he attacked that weakness, he found that it had already been blocked by Shen Luo's Qian Huan Wu Jian. Attacking the weakness in Qian Huan Wu Jian resulted in being blocked by Wei Bei's Bai Bian Yun Xiang instead.

  The swordsmanship of Wei Bei has flaws, and the swordsmanship of Shen Luo also has flaws.

  However, the swordsmanship of these two people happened to complement each other.

  This complementarity made both of their swordsmanship flawless.

  Nanfeng is indeed a master of swordsmanship, and the predecessor who created the 1,300 styles of "Hundred Changes Thousand Fantasies Clouds and Mists" back then had profound and unfathomable attainments in swordsmanship. Later on, the senior who broke down this set of sword techniques into "Hundred Changes Cloud Sword" and "Thousand Fantasies Mist Sword" also had equally profound and unfathomable attainments in swordsmanship.

  Pointing to the flaws in their moves, it seems that they can't be defeated by these two people. After a moment of contemplation, there's no way out, and with a complete understanding of the sword intent, the Nourishing Sword in hand moves, "Wind and Clouds Move" - this move splits into two directions, one wind sword and one cloud sword, splitting towards Wei Bei and Shen Luo.

  Lu Yuan's sword at this time no longer cared about swordsmanship, getting faster and faster, attacking the two people simultaneously.

  With a long sword in hand, I have complete control over my opponent.

  This is what can be achieved after fully grasping the intent of the sword.

  Lu Yuan was able to wield his sword so quickly because he treated himself as two people, using one sword as if it were two at the same time, and also forcing Wei Bei and Shen Luo back. Wei Bei and Shen Luo didn't want to leave originally, their swordsmanship was complementary, and when they joined forces, their power increased exponentially. However, they soon discovered that under Lu Yuan's sword light, they had no choice but to retreat, as if everything was under the control of his long sword.

  This is just the beginning, and then they found even more astonishing things. The two of them not only couldn't join forces together, but under Lu Yuan's sword light, it seemed that whatever action they took was dictated by Lu Yuan. They went to do this and that, really, this is what swordsmanship can achieve, it's really not puppetry!

  In the Great Jin Dynasty's Xianxia world, there were also extremely few demons and monsters who were good at puppetry. However, Lu Yuan's swordsmanship was clearly different from puppetry now. Puppetry made you lose control of your body, it controlled your body for you, whereas Lu Yuan had achieved this through his sword alone.

  The sword light flashed, and Lu Yuan was already more and more at ease in his fight.

  Weibi and Shenluo, on the other hand, were getting more and more miserable as they fought. Their moves often got stuck halfway through and couldn't be completed, their bodies restricted to moving within a certain range. Both men and swords seemed to be controlled under Luyuan's Nourishing Sword. At this moment, Weibi and Shenluo both felt a sense of despair, thinking that using swords normally was so difficult?

  And all the other true disciples were stunned and speechless.

  Is this really a competition between Beifeng and Nanfeng?

  Nanfeng is famous for its swordsmanship and belongs to Jianzong, while Beifeng is both sword energy.

  Now how is it that the true disciples of Beifeng, with their heavy and powerful sword energy, have stronger sword techniques, while the true disciples of Jianzong have weaker sword techniques? Which one is really Jianzong? And which one is really Beifeng? It all feels like a reversal.

  (Writing classical fantasy novels requires a focus on atmosphere, it's really slow. By the way, the last few sentences of this chapter are a tribute to The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. To be precise, this book is a tribute to The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. When I read The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, my favorite part was when Linghu Chong fought against several members of the Sword Sect in front of the Mountain God Temple. At that time, I wondered which one was the Sword Sect and which one was the Qi Sect.)
