The Peerless Tang Sect’s Sun and Moon Glory - Chapter 284 Crushing with sword intent
After being separated from Ye Guyi, Xu Zihuang took off the thousand-year ice silk mask under the warning of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and returned to his original appearance.
Mingdu is Xu Tianran’s base camp, and Death God Douluo Ye Xishui and Dragon King Douluo Long Xiaoyao, the two extreme Douluo experts, are likely to be in Mingdu as well. He must always remain vigilant.
After passing through the dark alley, Xu Zihuang merged into the dense flow of people and walked towards the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
As he walked, an imperceptible strange color could not help but appear in the depths of his eyes.
After experiencing the charm and ambiguity with Ye Guyi just now, as a normal male, and the qi and blood in his body are much stronger than ordinary people, it is inevitable that he will have some instinctive reactions.
Especially in the last year or two.
This is a sign that as he grows older, all aspects of his body’s functions are approaching full development.
However, Xu Zihuang didn’t think there was anything embarrassing about this.
He is not a so-called saint, and there is no need to deliberately suppress himself in this regard. Just do everything from your heart. Just like breaking through that taboo with Ye Guyi today.
…
Mingdu deserves to be the largest city on the mainland. With Xu Zihuang deliberately speeding up his pace, it took him more than half an hour to walk all the way from Xicheng to the entrance of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Starting yesterday, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has been on holiday. In addition, it was almost late at night, and there were basically no students from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy coming and going.
There were only four middle-aged doormen guarding the main entrance.
These four people can become the guards of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and they all have a certain level of cultivation. The soul power level is not high, probably around level 30.
Except for the farce with Wang Shaojie at the beginning, Xu Zihuang has always behaved very low-key. However, as the dean of teaching, Lin Jiayi, out of caution, specifically asked these guards to carefully record the specific time when Yu Tianhuang left the college. So these doormen all know Xu Zihuang. Naturally there will be no interrogation.
Under the gaze of four guards, Xu Zihuang walked into the gate of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy with a calm expression.
And he also ran into two acquaintances.
The two people are a man and a woman. The woman was plain-looking, looking like a harmless middle-aged aunt. Standing next to her was a handsome young man, but his expression was cold and he was holding a black meteorite iron sword.
It was Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen.
Xu Zihuang didn’t meet them by chance. It was obvious that these two people were waiting for him here.
There was no need to ask Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan’s intentions, Xu Zihuang knew it clearly.
The long sword shark tooth and short blade whale tooth were taken out from the storage soul guide. These two level six melee soul guides, one long and one short, are complementary to each other. After injecting soul power, they respectively bloom with a strong golden halo and deep purple thunder.
Ever since Ji Juechen suffered a setback from him, he would often come to him for discussion. Also accompanying Ji Juechen was Jing Ziyan, who was inseparable from Ji Juechen.
Xu Zihuang is already used to this.
Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were usually quite sensible and would never come to him when he was practicing or making soul tools. It’s not a big deal to say that I’m worried about this.
Among the several students under Xuan Ziwen, Wang Shaojie and Orange dropped out, leaving only him, Keke and Zimu. During this year, the three of them entered Mingde Hall to study one after another. The learning tasks were relatively heavy, and they did not produce any soul guidance devices that needed to be practiced outside.
Therefore, during the year and a half of exchange and study at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, although Xu Zihuang’s soul power cultivation was steadily improving, he rarely had the opportunity to fight in actual combat.
He was actually quite happy with the two’s active challenge.
But today he didn’t want to delay too much here.
Xu Zihuang raised the long sword with shark teeth in his right hand, pointed the sword tip directly at Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan, and said lightly: “Let’s go together, I’m in a hurry today.”
“good.”
Ji Juechen’s eyes suddenly lit up, and his sword intent suddenly soared. This swordsman’s style of conduct has always been simple and direct.
What he pursues is the peak of sword intention, and he will continue to do so unswervingly. Never pay attention to these trivial matters.
But Jing Ziyan felt depressed and helpless. She was even more aggressive than Ji Juechen at her core. Even though she only became a sixth-level soul engineer in her late thirties, in terms of actual combat ability, she is definitely the best among the sixth-level soul instructors of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Of course, this is because Ji Juechen is a student of the Soul Guidance Actual Control Department and cannot be counted within the scope of the Soul Guidance.
Before the brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, who had recently become sixth-level soul masters, returned to the academy, Jing Ziyan was the sixth-level soul master with the strongest practical ability in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
But even so, she was defeated countless times in front of Xu Zihuang, who was not as good as the Soul King.
Xu Zihuang, who possesses the Golden Eyes Martial Spirit and is also a melee soul mentor, restrained her in all aspects.
But if they join forces with Ji Juechen this time, they may not have no chance.
Jing Ziyan also had some fighting spirit in her eyes. If they could win this time, it would help her regain some confidence.
With this thought in her mind, she remained calm on the surface, smiling and walking towards Xu Zihuang with delicate steps.
“Hey, are you so anxious today? You couldn’t go out on a date with some girl and got angry, right?”
Xu Zihuang looked up at Jing Ziyan silently, unmoved at all. One is to understand Jing Ziyan’s character. She has never been a person who follows rules.
The other one was Ye Guyi, whom he had a close contact with in front of him. His appearance and temperament were astonishing. Comparing the two, the contrast is too strong.
Now, no matter how imaginative Jing Ziyan’s expression and tone are, once she sees the face of Jing Ziyan, a middle-aged aunt, she will instantly become free of distractions.
Well, to a certain extent, Jing Ziyan does have an ascetic face.
Just as Jing Ziyan was talking, the distance between her and Xu Zihuang had shortened to less than thirty meters.
A thick purple mist suddenly appeared on her body. Two yellow, two purple and two black, six optimally matched soul rings rose from her feet almost at the same time, among which the first two hundred-year-old soul rings were shining.
Immediately afterwards, the dense purple mist spread to a space of tens of meters in radius, shrouding the bodies of Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen.
Jing Ziyan’s martial spirit is a special weapon martial spirit, Zi Yan. Same name as her.
Unlike most of the soul masters in the Sun and Moon Empire, the soul skills she attached were not simply to increase soul power, but to take the path of a control-type fighting soul master. She controls the field with the control of her martial soul and soul skills, and then uses the powerful melee soul guide to defeat her opponents. This is her fighting method.
She and Xu Zihuang chose the same development route, combining soul guidance tools with martial arts spirits, which was also the most suitable for this era.
But unfortunately, her martial soul quality and cultivation talent destined her not to have as high an upper limit as Xu Zihuang.
Jing Ziyan’s first soul skill is called Phantom Smoke. The main function of Phantom Smoke is to affect the opponent’s sight, and it also has the ability to isolate perception to a certain extent.
The second soul skill, the smoke condensation effect, is better. It can make the smoke thick and thick, restricting the opponent’s movement.
They are all considered very good control soul skills. Although it is not as powerful as the control ability of single-body control soul skills, it is worse than being able to affect the surrounding environment to achieve group control effects, which is full of confusion.
At the same time, black afterimages were drawn towards Xu Zihuang amidst harsh whistling sounds.
That was Jing Ziyan’s level six melee soul guide, the Exploding Nine-section Whip. This explosive nine-section whip comes with a special effect. Once it collides, it will produce high-frequency vibrations, which is designed to overcome various body defense soul skills and soul shields.
In the past, when Xu Zihuang was sparring with them, he would let the two of them display their respective abilities while he could resist and practice his skills with ease. But now he had no patience and took the initiative to attack.
The deep purple eyes instantly turned into bright gold, detecting the illusion in the smoke, and also captured the trajectory of Jing Ziyan’s exploding nine-section whip.
Then he stamped his right foot on the ground and actively entered the attack range of the Exploding Nine-Section Whip. The sudden burst of speed made Jing Ziyan even more frightened. This is something Xu Zihuang has never shown before when he competed with them in the past.
“Bang bang bang——”
Brilliant flames burst out in the smoke, accompanied by the clang of metal collision. Xu Zihuang lightly waved the long sword shark tooth and short blade whale tooth in his hand, but in Jing Ziyan’s eyes, Xu Zihuang had turned into an afterimage that was difficult to capture, blocking her explosive nine-section whip attack while approaching her.
The reason why Xu Zihuang is able to explode at such an astonishing speed is due to his increasingly abnormal physical fitness.
Over the years, the thundering Hell Vine right leg bone and the attached soul bone Huanglong Claw that he possesses have continued to evolve. Needless to say, the right leg bone of the Thunder Hell Vine is undoubtedly the top-notch type of soul bone.
Although during the exchange and study at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, in order to keep a low profile, he did not induce the thunder to temper the right leg bone of the thundering hell vine, but gradually absorbed his pure and powerful ultimate thunder soul power, and the thundering hell vine The right leg bone is still subtly increasing to the age of 80,000 years.
In comparison, the Huanglong Claw, which is an external soul bone, has evolved much more slowly, and has only barely reached the ten thousand year level.
But the power of the Huanglong Claw is extremely terrifying, and it is a very important life-saving trump card for Xu Zihuang. It’s just that he doesn’t dare to use the ability of this externally attached soul bone now, for fear of exposing his identity.
The increase in the age of these two soul bones will naturally increase his physical fitness. The right leg bone of the Thunder Hell Vine also greatly increased the strength and speed of his right leg. This caused him to burst out with the blessing of his fifty-eighth level soul power in a short period of time, which was stronger than many agility attack soul emperors. Breathtaking speed.
Before Jing Ziyan could react, the exploding nine-section whip in her hand was blown away by the short-bladed whale tooth held in Xu Zihuang’s left hand.
But this is a two-on-one contest. When Jing Ziyan was in danger, Ji Juechen’s support also arrived.
Ji Juechen didn’t know when he had arrived behind Xu Zihuang. He grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and slashed with the sword. The sharp sword intent soared to the extreme, as if the space was split apart, and the extremely sharp aura raged crazily here.
A dark halo shone on the meteorite iron sword, faintly forming a black dragon.
And Xu Zihuang also made a very simple action. The sword stabbed straight, and the golden sword light also contained a meaning. But it was no longer Jun Lintianxia’s intention, but the sword intention that he had casually sensed through previous sparring sessions with Ji Juechen.
If Ji Juechen’s sword intention is filled with the domineering attitude of others, then Xu Zihuang’s sword intention is the kind of arrogance that stands on the clouds, overlooking all living beings.
The long sword shark tooth has not yet come into contact with the meteorite iron sword, but the collision has already begun. The space instantly twisted and collapsed, and cracks extended from the floor that was fused with fine steel. The golden and black halos blended together, gradually becoming rich and twisted.
After a stalemate for about a second, a violent roar suddenly exploded.
“boom–“
The fifty-meter-diameter floor collapsed instantly, and time seemed to freeze. After a moment of delay, the broken floor turned into debris and fell into the sky.
Xu Zihuang stood proudly, with the long sword shark teeth in his right hand maintaining a straight stabbing posture, and the short-blade whale tooth held in reverse in his left hand pointed directly at Jing Ziyan’s throat.
Jing Ziyan froze on the spot, the Exploding Nine-section Whip fell not far behind him. Looking at Xu Zihuang, a strong sense of frustration could not help but surge into her heart.
Not only because he lost to Yu Tianhuang, but also because of the methods Yu Tianhuang showed just now when facing Ji Juechen.
Ji Juechen kept his original posture and couldn’t help but take a few steps back. In this swordsmanship confrontation, it seemed that Xu Zihuang was only slightly better, but Jing Ziyan could see the huge gap between the two at a glance.
When she and Ji Juechen entered the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the same year, she always paid attention to Ji Juechen. It can be said that she witnessed with her own eyes the entire experience of Ji Juechen’s rise from an inconspicuous student to the chief of the Soul Guidance Actual Control Department of Mingde Hall.
He also knew how hard Ji Juechen had put in to understand the sword’s intention and reach this point.
But the Yu Tianhuang in front of her made her realize the cruel reality again.
The huge gap between soul masters like them, who have average martial arts and cultivation talents, and true geniuses does not seem to be able to be bridged through hard work.
They are the same people, but there is such a big gap between them. Some people have been practicing hard for decades, but they still cannot achieve the enlightenment that others have in a moment.
“I lost.”
Ji Juechen’s face was a little pale, but when he raised his head and looked at Xu Zihuang, his eyes were full of calmness and heat.
“Your sword intention is very strong.”
“But this is not my path.” Xu Zihuang replied calmly, then put away the long sword shark tooth and broken blade whale tooth and left here.
There was nothing to boast about, because he had never regarded Ji Juechen as an opponent on the same level as himself.
