Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 282: Chapter 278: Thirteen Life-taking Swords, Overpowered

Boundless Sea of Blood was Madman Tu’s signature move. With this technique, he had once defeated a Divinity Transformation Realm expert.

It was the very technique that had forced Ning Jiang to use his Four Extremes One Sword during their battle.

Without a doubt, it was an incredibly powerful technique.

Now, as the red-haired elder unleashed this technique, its power was more than ten times more terrifying than Madman Tu’s. A surging Sea of Blood pressed down, blanketing everything with its extreme evil.

"Break."

However, compared to when he fought Madman Tu, the current Ning Jiang was also countless times stronger.

A brilliant Sword Aura erupted in an arc, carrying a terrifying cutting power. Like a crescent moon, it sliced through the surging Sea of Blood.

"He’s fighting three God-Seizing Realm experts, and this kid isn’t at a disadvantage?"

"It’s still too early to say. The moment they bring out their real killing moves will be when victory and defeat are decided."

"Regardless of the outcome, this kid will make a name for himself after this."

The surrounding Primordial Spirit Realm experts exclaimed in endless amazement.

As for the many members of the younger generation, they were all shocked by the combat prowess Ning Jiang displayed.

With his current strength, Ning Jiang could kill any of them with a casual strike.

Everyone understood that Ning Jiang was now qualified to be ranked among those monsters.

"Kid, I’d like to see just what level your Sword Technique has reached!"

The Star Sword Sect’s Grand Elder’s sword flashed, letting out a long cry. Man and sword moved as one as he charged toward Ning Jiang.

Every Sword Cultivator has a competitive heart.

He knew Ning Jiang’s Sword Technique was formidable—after all, even Jian Xinghe had lost to him. But as the Grand Elder of the Star Sword Sect, his own Sword Technique was more than just a little stronger than Jian Xinghe’s.

SHIIINK.

His sword was insidious and silent, yet it seemed to faintly lock onto a person’s life. It felt as if one thrust would claim a life.

"The Thirteen Life-taking Swords!"

The members of the Star Sword Sect cried out in alarm. Even Jian Xinghe stared intently as the Grand Elder executed the Sword Technique.

"The Thirteen Life-taking Swords are even more domineering than the Star Pointing Seven Kill Sword. However, this Sword Technique can only be cultivated by those at the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation Realm. When our Realm is high enough, we’ll cultivate this Sword Technique too," the Twin Sword Sons said. The Star Pointing Seven Kill Sword they cultivated was exceedingly domineering; during the Qing Province tournament, when they unleashed the Sixth Kill, even titans like Liu Bingxue and Li Kuangba had been no match.

But the Thirteen Life-taking Swords were even more domineering and incisive.

Every sword strike was aimed at taking a life.

"No fancy Sword Technique."

Ning Jiang nodded. This Thirteen Life-taking Swords was decent enough. Each strike was simple, without variation, yet this simplicity pursued the purest form of lethal power.

Moreover, this Sword Technique was incredibly fast. A single thrust was like a Thunderbolt, giving no time to react.

CLANG.

With a ringing clash of swords and a shower of sparks, Ning Jiang blocked the attack with his longsword.

"The Seventh Sword!"

The Grand Elder continued his assault. The Thirteen Life-taking Swords, as its name implied, had thirteen strikes in total.

The previous strike was the sixth sword, and this was the Seventh Sword. Each was more powerful than the one before.

"Petty tricks."

The Seventh Sword was also blocked, after which the Grand Elder proceeded to use the Eighth Sword and then the Ninth Sword.

However, these two strikes were also ineffective against Ning Jiang.

The Grand Elder was not surprised that Ning Jiang had blocked several of his strikes in a row. With Ning Jiang’s strength, it would have been strange if he *couldn’t* block them.

After the Ninth Sword, however, the Thirteen Life-taking Swords reached a new level, its power completely different.

"The Tenth Sword!"

The Grand Elder took a deep breath. As he unleashed the Tenth Sword, a sharp Sword Momentum spread out continuously, making even the distant spectators feel as if their skin was being pricked by needles.

"Hmph."

Ning Jiang snorted coldly. The blood and qi in his body surged as he combined his Physical Power with the Spiritual Qi within and slashed out with his sword.

His opponent’s attack was one of compact sharpness, compressing power to its absolute limit. His own attack, however, used brute force to shatter finesse.

A massive Sword Aura pressed down like a mountain. Such an attack would undoubtedly consume more energy, but Ning Jiang, a cultivator of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill, was the least afraid of consumption.

"The Eleventh Sword!"

"The Twelfth Sword!"

After Ning Jiang blocked that strike, the Grand Elder let out a long cry as the eleventh and twelfth swords erupted simultaneously. The two swords superimposed, their power growing even more terrifying.

"Four Extremes One Sword."

Faced with such an attack, even Ning Jiang had to get serious.

This was the strongest strike of the Four Seasons Sword Technique. Back when he was in the Spirit Realm, this Sword Technique alone was enough to kill a Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation Realm expert.

Now that his Cultivation had improved, the power of this sword strike had naturally increased dramatically.

’Not good.’ The Grand Elder’s expression changed.

He saw his two swords get destroyed by the Four Extremes One Sword, and the remaining Sword Aura continued to slash toward him, its momentum undiminished.

BANG.

He blocked the strike, but his body was sent flying backward, and his face paled slightly.

"So strong!"

Many people’s pupils contracted sharply. A God-Seizing Realm expert was actually being suppressed by a junior at the Divinity Transformation Realm.

"The new generation surpasses the old. Compared to him, I feel like I’ve wasted all my years of cultivation."

The War Elephant Sect’s Sect Leader gave a bitter laugh. His strength was on par with the Star Sword Sect’s Grand Elder. The fact that Ning Jiang could suppress the Grand Elder meant he could suppress him as well.

"Sect Leader Yue, you might want to reconsider the matter I mentioned earlier."

The Hall Master of Floating Snow Hall hadn’t given up; she was still thinking about arranging a marriage between Liu Bingxue and Ning Jiang.

Yue Wenfu shook his head and let out a helpless laugh. ’With Ning Jiang’s temperament, how could I possibly be the one to decide such a matter?’

"Everyone, let’s join forces and take him down quickly."

The red-haired elder was both shocked and enraged. Ning Jiang’s strength far exceeded his expectations.

A moment ago, he and the Fire Cloud Sect’s Sect Leader had seen the Grand Elder’s soaring battle intent and decided not to interfere. But now they understood that they probably couldn’t take Ning Jiang down unless they worked together.

"Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!"

With a piercing shriek, the red-haired elder shot into the sky, his entire body enveloped in bloody flames.

"As expected, he’s also mastered the third layer of the Tu Yuan Blood Hand."

Those in the crowd who knew the details were astonished.

The Tu Yuan Blood Hand had three layers in total. Madman Tu had only mastered the Second Layer, which contained the two techniques: River of Blood and Boundless Sea of Blood.

As for the third layer, only someone at the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation Realm could possibly master it.

The power of this technique, Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, was several times greater than Boundless Sea of Blood.

In the past, the red-haired elder had used this very technique to defeat an opponent who was also at the God-Seizing Realm, making a great name for himself.

RUMBLE...

The Sea of Blood churned, vast and turbulent.

Within it, mountains of corpses rose and fell, their pale white bones a vision straight from Hell.

Taking in this sight, many people felt a chill run down their spines, utterly horrified.

The technique was too terrifying. The vision alone was enough to make one lose the will to resist.

"Tri-Colored True Flame."

On the other side, the Fire Cloud Sect’s Sect Leader rubbed his palms together, and Tri-Colored Flames emerged, forming an exquisite Fire Lotus.

"Three Swords Superimposed!"

The Grand Elder focused his aura, his eyes seeing nothing but his enemy, Ning Jiang. This technique, Three Swords Superimposed, was the combined power of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth swords fused together.

"Break! Break! Break!"

Ning Jiang’s sword fell three times. With three consecutive uses of Four Extremes One Sword, he shattered and disintegrated all three of their attacks.

Then, a mighty voice boomed from his lips, echoing through the heavens:

"Bring out your strongest skills, or you will soon die!"
