Chapter 97: The Legend of the Evil Sword

  After resting for a few days, Yan Zhen entered the Immortal Cultivator's Network again in high spirits. As before, Yan Zhen quickly entered the Foundation Building City on the Foundation Building Platform, surrounded by cultivators of various shapes and colors.

  Yan Zhen casually glanced around and started looking for someone to challenge.

  Soon, a person with the code name Luo Yi Qi accepted Yan Zhen's challenge.

  The challenge within the city will automatically generate a simulated scene, and this time Yan Zhen and Luo Yi Qi's simulated scene is on a small island, with an area of about 300 square meters. The surrounding waters are all emerald green lake water.

  The person named Luo Yi Qi said, "I've long heard of the great name of the Evil Sword, please instruct me." Luo Yi Qi's attitude was very humble, and he couldn't help but be humble. His opponent was none other than the renowned Evil Sword, currently the most popular figure in the Foundation Building realm. Luo Yi Qi naturally knew that his strength was inferior to his opponent's.

  Yan Zhen nodded and politely said "please advise me more".

  Yan Zhen saw Luo Yi's sword leave its scabbard, pointing directly at himself. This sword technique should be the Luo Huang Xian Men's sword technique, each move seemingly having an endless domineering intent. Yan Zhen could naturally easily use many sword sources to defeat his opponent, but he was not in a hurry.

  Yan Zhen this time entered the Immortal's net to build a foundation platform, not to bully the weak, but to temper himself.

  Yan Zhen's plan was to temper the Duanzhi Sword Source, which is about finding the opponent's rhythm and weakness, and breaking their rhythm. This sword source sounds similar to the Pizhi Sword Source, but in reality it is different. The Pizhi Sword Source is from top to bottom, using brute force to scatter the opponent's sword moves. In contrast, the Duanzhi Sword Source can be launched at any angle, and it doesn't rely on brute force at all; instead, it seizes the opponent's weakness and attacks their weak points to break their rhythm.

  To put it simply, the Splitting Sword Origin is more brutal and has a smaller scope of application.

  The sword source of Duan is more technical and has a wider range of applications.

  Yan Zhen watched as Luo Yi Qi made his move, Luo Yi Qi was using the Three-Pronged Sword Technique of the Middle Grade of the Luo Huang Xian Men's Mysterious Stage. This set of sword techniques seemed to be constantly drawing triangles in mid-air, and triangles were the most stable shape. This Three-Pronged Sword Technique was quite difficult to break through, with high defensive power and also high attacking power.

  Yan Zhen was indeed using his sword to resist the opponent's three-edged sword technique, while also constantly analyzing the weaknesses in the three-edged sword technique. However, a triangle is originally the most stable shape, and the weaknesses of the three-edged sword technique were not so easy to find. Yan Zhen was attacked by his opponent and retreated repeatedly, seemingly at a disadvantage.

  Yan Zhen made a probing attack, but was repelled with a loud shout. Having found the wrong spot, he continued to attack, and Yan Zhen also followed his intuition.

  After a stick of incense time, Yan Zhen still couldn't find the weakness of Luo Yi Qi's three-edged sword technique. Of course, Luo Yi Qi also didn't gain the upper hand. Yan Zhen's swordsmanship was far superior to his. No matter how hard he tried to practice the new sword source, he still wouldn't be able to win. The two ended in a draw.

  Luo Yi was quite pleased with himself after the fight, as he had managed to hold his own against the famous Evil Sword with a score of 13-1: "Haha, thanks for the advice, Evil Sword. I guess my sword skills aren't too bad."

  Yan Zhen secretly thought to himself, "Your swordsmanship is really terrible. If I didn't have to practice the Sword Origin, I would have easily won already." But on the surface, Yan Zhen said, "Brother Luo's swordsmanship isn't bad."

  ……

  Yan Zhen immediately began searching for his second opponent after defeating this one and soon found an opponent with the codename "Crazy Storm".

  Fierce winds swept, the foundation stage realm was high-handed, every move was a clear wind immortal gate swordsmanship. It should be someone from the Clear Wind Immortal Gate. On the Foundation Stage Platform, his record was 495 battles with 301 wins, a winning rate of over 60%.

  The stormy wind saw the famous Evil Sword coming to fight him, and he was overjoyed. Fighting someone like Evil Sword was a matter of great face, and if he could withstand a few moves under Evil Sword's hands, that would be something to brag about.

  The two quickly entered the scene, this time's simulated scene was on the rooftop.

  Yan Zhen stood at this end of the rooftop, while Kuang Feng stood at that end.

  The strong wind rolled up his sleeves and cupped one hand in the other: "Please instruct."

  Yan Zhen also returned a courtesy, with both hands clasped together: "Please instruct."

  Yan Zhen became serious after finishing the courtesy, his hand grasped the hilt of the sword, and saw that Kuang Feng Juan's sword was also unsheathed in an instant. The swordsmanship of Kuang Feng Juan was as fast as a gust of wind. Yan Zhen himself was a member of the Qingfeng Xianmen sect, so he naturally knew that the swordsmanship used by Kuang Feng Juan at this time was the Da Bao Feng Jian Fa, a relatively cruel swordsmanship of the lower level of the Mystic Stage. This set of swordsmanship was even more ferocious than the Bao Feng Jian Fa, and once it was displayed, it would be like a storm descending, crazy and unmatched.

  Yan Zhen raised the long sword in his hand, "dang dang dang" blocking the opponent's attack. While blocking the attack, he was also analyzing the weaknesses of the opponent's swordsmanship and how to disrupt their rhythm. Yan Zhen couldn't help but try a few times, failing, failing, and failing again.

  There's no doubt that Yan Zhen's plan to cultivate the Sword Origin of Severing has failed once again.

  The final result of this war was a draw.

  After this battle, Kuang Feng was smiling triumphantly. He had actually managed to fight the infamous Evil Sword to a draw, and now he had something to brag about in the future.

  Yan Zhen did not pay attention to the raging wind, but instead calmed down and reflected on the gains and losses of this battle, summarizing his experience.

  Next, Yan Zhen found another opponent with the codename Blowing Arrows to engage in a match. This opponent, Blowing Arrows, was from the Dark Night Immortal Sect and as a third-grade immortal sect member, he was not simple. However, that didn't matter as Yan Zhen still didn't take it seriously and continued to practice his Broken Sword Source during this battle. The result of this battle was another draw, which made Blowing Arrows extremely happy - he had managed to tie with the evil sword and save face.

  In the next battle, Yan Zhen found someone with the code name Fei Feng, who was from Qing Jing Xian Men. During the fight, Yan Zhen kept thinking of disrupting his opponent's rhythm, but it didn't go very smoothly. In the end, this battle also ended in a draw.

  Yan Zhen continued to find one opponent after another, fighting out one draw after another, and vaguely, vaguely, touched on some edges.

  The broadcast came with a rumor: "Ping Ju Wang reappears in Jianghu."

  "Draw again, draw again, and another draw. Evil Sword is producing a lot of draws once more. I thought he was no longer the king of draws, but it turns out he's still playing this way."

  "It is well-known that Xie Jian's sword skills are extremely strong, able to defeat five Sword Origin-level opponents one-on-one and emerge victorious in a group of thirteen. Yet, when facing an opponent with ordinary sword skills, he ends up with a draw. How strange!

  Analysis Emperor commented on the broadcast: "However, according to those who have fought against Xie Jian, it seems that he is experimenting with a new sword technique. At times when he should be attacking, he doesn't attack, and at times when he should be defending, he doesn't defend. His fighting style is quite bizarre. Therefore, the most likely explanation is that Xie Jian's draws in both this match and the previous one are due to him testing out his new sword technique."

  "It's reasonable, otherwise, with the strength of the evil sword, it would be impossible for Wang to end in a draw." Another cultivator said.

  "The evil sword is really annoying, I'm calling on everyone to stop fighting him, I've fought him twice and it's almost nauseating." The fiery-tempered girl with the codename Red Sleeve Arrow said angrily.
