Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 295: Chapter 291: The Strongest Move: Myriad Swords Return to One

Under Ning Jiang’s control, a thousand streams of Sword Qi spun wildly, forming a terrifying tornado. It was like a Wind Dragon, sweeping across the sky.

The scene was incredibly spectacular.

"Break!"

Wang Qingcang gripped the Star Sword. He drew his arm back as if wielding a great axe to split a mountain and brought the sword down.

CHK-TSSS.

A colossal Sword Aura hundreds of yards long pressed down, blanketing the sky. Even from a great distance, the many Martial Artists could feel its sharp, imposing presence.

BOOM!

The tornado of Sword Qi and the Sword Aura collided. The Sword Aura sliced irresistibly into the tornado, annihilating stream after stream of Sword Qi.

But after destroying half of the Sword Qi, the Sword Aura itself was severely depleted and finally dissipated.

Clearly, the power of the Sword Qi tornado was greater than that single sword strike.

Ning Jiang’s expression was impassive. With a flick of his Magic Formulas, streams of Sword Qi shot out from behind him, replenishing what was lost. Soon, the thousand streams of Sword Qi were restored.

"Not bad, but thinking you can hurt me with this is nothing but a fool’s dream."

Wang Qingcang assessed the power of the Sword Qi. ’One strike can’t break the tornado, but two will do. It’s not a difficult task for me anyway.’

"Don’t speak too soon. I’ll let you witness the true transformations of the Myriad Swords Return to the Sect."

Myriad Swords Return to the Sect was the Myriad Swords Sect’s Mountain Protection Array from a hundred thousand years ago. If it only had this much power, how could it ever have qualified as a Mountain Protection Array? The Sword Qi tornado was merely one of its crudest transformations.

The entire Myriad Swords Return to the Sect contained many different transformations.

"Giant Swordsmanship!"

Ning Jiang uttered two words. Instantly, the thousand streams of Sword Qi fused at an astonishing speed. Three breaths later, a giant sword appeared in the sky, its aura far more tyrannical than the Sword Qi tornado.

"Let’s see you take this strike. Go."

With a flick of his Magic Formulas, the giant sword seemed to move slowly, yet it shot toward Wang Qingcang with incredible speed, soaring into the heavens and tearing through the downpour.

The giant sword was a hundred yards long. Like a white rainbow piercing the sun or a comet striking the moon, its momentum was unstoppable.

"Star Extinction."

Wang Qingcang’s expression grew solemn. He channeled his entire Cultivation and slowly swung his sword. A point of starlight erupted from its tip, like a star shooting forth to annihilate everything in its path.

This was a major killing move from the Star Sword Technique.

The Star Sword Technique was the most profound Sword Technique in the Star Sword Sect. Techniques like the Xinghe Sword Technique cultivated by Jian Xinghe and the Star Pointing Seven Kill Sword cultivated by the Twin Sword Sons were all simplified versions derived from it.

Only experts at the Earth Martial Realm were qualified to cultivate the Star Sword Technique.

BANG.

The giant sword and the starlight slammed into each other, unleashing a deafening explosion. The entire world was filled with blinding white light, and some people even went temporarily deaf.

A vast, surging wave of energy instantly spread out in all directions from the point of impact, dispersing the torrential rain.

"Giant Snake Technique!"

This strike hadn’t taken down Wang Qingcang, but Ning Jiang wasn’t discouraged. ’If an Earth Martial Realm expert were defeated that easily, he wouldn’t deserve the title.’

With another flick of his Magic Formulas, a thousand more streams of Sword Qi flew out from behind him. This time, after gathering, the Sword Qi transformed into a massive python, its enormous body like a mountain range.

"Go."

The giant snake shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, opened its great maw, and lunged to swallow Wang Qingcang whole.

"Petty tricks! Break for me!"

Wang Qingcang let out a long cry, pushing his Star Sword Technique to its limit. With a flick of his wrist, it was as if streams of starlight blossomed in the air—another killing move.

The Giant Snake Technique was broken.

Expressionless, Ning Jiang waved his hand, this time sending out fifteen hundred streams of Sword Qi directly.

Fifteen hundred streams—this was nearly his limit.

"Giant Flood Dragon Technique!"

A giant flood dragon took shape. Its body was even larger, its scales lifelike, and its power surpassed that of the Giant Snake Technique.

"Star Pointing Seven Kill Sword—Seven Kills Unification—Po Sha Star!"

Wang Qingcang also sensed the threat. With a long cry, he unleashed an even more tyrannical Sword Technique.

The Star Pointing Seven Kill Sword cultivated by the Twin Sword Sons was just a simplified version. The original could only be practiced by those at the Earth Martial Realm. This move, Seven Kills Unification, was the ultimate mystery of the technique. A single strike was enough to severely injure an Earth Martial Realm expert of the same level.

RIP!

An impossibly dazzling starlight erupted, forcing countless people to shut their eyes.

From a distance, the beam of sword light looked like a falling star splitting the heavens.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Giant Flood Dragon Technique and the starlight collided, and both shattered inch by inch, creating a series of explosions.

Next, Ning Jiang once again activated the Sword Qi behind him, evolving it into other transformations.

"This Sword Array is incredible! It has so many transformations. Is this the seventh one already?"

"A Sword Array of this level... I think only a Super Sect like the Celestial Sword Sect could produce something like this. Just who in the world is this kid?"

"This Sword Array may be powerful, but each transformation consumes a portion of the Sword Qi. There’s not much left now. I think Wang Qingcang is still going to win this battle."

As the crowd discussed, their eyes turned to Ning Jiang’s back. Of the original ten thousand-plus streams of Sword Qi, less than a quarter remained.

No matter how Ning Jiang attacked, Wang Qingcang broke through his techniques, leaving him completely unharmed.

The Sword Array’s power was indeed great, comparable to the Earth Martial Realm, but it lacked a truly powerful killing move. Without one, the Sword Array’s energy would sooner or later be exhausted.

"It seems we won’t need to intervene. However, we can spare his life and force him to reveal his Sword Array," Lady Blood Crow said lightly, clearly intrigued by Ning Jiang’s technique.

"This is bad. If the Sect Leader continues like this, he’s going to lose," Lin Zhan’s expression changed.

"Not necessarily!"

Fang Xue shook her head. Compared to Liu Bingxue, she possessed a more mature aura. "Don’t forget what the Sect Leader said: this array can kill an Earth Martial Realm expert! The Sword Array must have an even stronger killing move."

"That’s right. The Sect Leader isn’t the type to act rashly without confidence," Yue Wenfu nodded, his gaze unwavering.

Indeed, where was there even a hint of anxiety on Ning Jiang’s face?

BOOM.

This was the final collision. Ning Jiang’s attack was once again destroyed by Wang Qingcang. At this point, all the Sword Qi had been completely exhausted.

"Ning Jiang, it seems your Sword Array is nothing special after all. Your desire to kill me was just a delusion born of your own arrogance."

Having broken through all of Ning Jiang’s Sword Qi, Wang Qingcang was certain victory was in his grasp.

"Wang Qingcang, if I told you that everything you just saw wasn’t the true power of this Sword Array, would you believe me?" Ning Jiang said coolly.

"Hm?" Wang Qingcang’s expression changed, but he quickly sneered. "Trying to scare me? You think I’ll believe that? It’s all over. Once you’re in my hands, I’ll show you what a fate worse than death really is."

"A mere Earth Martial Realm expert... do you really think I can’t kill you? Wang Qingcang, you will never understand what kind of existence stands before you."

Ning Jiang stood there, motionless. His eyes swept downward, yet they held a sharp glint that seemed to look down upon the entire world. "I will let you witness the strongest move of the Myriad Swords Return to the Sect—"

"Myriad Swords Return to One!"
