Chapter 436: The Sword Qi Thunder Sound of the Yin Sword Disciple

"Great Sun Sword Disciple, you don't look like a sword cultivator at all."

"Stealthily ambushing others in the shadows, lacking a courageous and fearless heart."

The Yin Sword Disciple tucked the white bear plushie from her arms into her storage bracelet, snorted lightly: "The Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men has defiled you. If you repent and join the Yin Qingse Jianzong now, it is not too late; perhaps you will have hope of reaching Void Refinement in the future."

The Great Sun Dayang Tianchi Formation Core did not approve of her.

She tried to obtain it through another method.

"You wish in vain."

"Your own Void Refinement might not even proceed smoothly."

Jiang Ding rolled his eyes: "I am certain that once you advance to Soul Transformation, suppression from Brother Brother Xuanwu's Palace, the Shadow Demon Abyss, the Wuxingtian Sect, and others will arrive swiftly; the Qingmuxian Sect cannot protect you."

"No one wants the Yin Sword Master to appear again."

"Even more darkly, there might be factors restricting Void Refinement within your innate flying sword; the Qingmuxian Sect will never allow the Yin Qingse Jianzong to break free from control."

"Tch!"

"A petty mind!"

Yu Yu Qianzi retorted: "The Eastern Extreme Dongji Dongji Mo Men is founded on military formations and the power of the masses, absolutely forbidding the emergence of overly strong individual power; cultivators' emotions are ever-changing and unpredictable, so any moral character is useless."

"Therefore, your flying sword is the one where someone planted a control mechanism."

"Heh, you know whether to believe it or not."

"Now, let's speak of business."

Jiang Ding stared at her watery, bright eyes and said calmly: "Due to your hostile identity as a Sword Disciple of the Yin Qingse Jianzong, and due to your unauthorized occupation of my Moon Xihe cultivation ground."

"Compensation is now required."

"I don't ask for much, only the Great Sun Sword Pavilion inheritance controlled by the Yin Qingse Jianzong."

"Will you give it or not?"

The Great Sun Sword Pavilion inheritance was extremely important to him.

He now possessed the Golden Core secret technique, but the Nascent Soul secret technique remained far off; possessing the relevant inheritance could greatly accelerate the immortal sect's research and development process.

"No."

Yu Yu Qianzi said bluntly and decisively.

"Then you are a ruffian, a thief."

Jiang Ding, expressionless: "Now, I inform you, your criminal acts have been exposed; it is best you obediently let me detain you and hand you over to the Immortal Sect Police Department for processing."

"Rest assured, the Immortal Sect Police Department is renowned for being fair, just, and open; they will absolutely not wrong an innocent person."

"If you are truly innocent, they will release you."

"Thief?"

Yu Yu Qianzi's nose twisted in anger, and she said, somewhat incredulous.

"You call me a thief?"

She too had emerged from the various cruel slaughters of the Qingmuxian Sect, having witnessed layers of conspiracy and intrigue, and seen various sect geniuses; some were open and cheerful, others sinister and cunning, all different.

But someone like this, who immediately called her a thief, she had truly never seen.

She had never even heard of it!

"Exactly!"

Jiang Ding said with righteous indignation.

This was his home; everything here belonged to him.

This was a fact certified personally by the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi Formation Core, beyond doubt.

"Remember, resisting the law adds an extra degree to your crime!"

Boom!

The Taiching Flying Sword pierced the air in a standard thrusting stance; after two years of instruction from the Dayang Tianchi Formation Core, it carried a touch of perfect harmony, and its speed was over thirty percent faster than when facing An Tuzi.

"Hmph! Shameless scoundrel!"

Yu Yu Qianzi snorted lightly; the slight favor caused by the instinctive attraction between Sun and Moon vanished instantly.

Whoosh!

The moon-white sword shadow met the Taiching Flying Sword; attacking against attacking, sparks erupted in clusters as the sword blades crossed.

Sun, Moon!

Behind the two, phantom manifestations of the blue-gold Great Sun and the Divine Moon appeared respectively.

Cling-cling-cling!

In an instant, the two flying swords slashed thousands of times, the clanging sounds merging into a continuous din.

The Yin Sword Intent and the Destruction Sword Intent clashed fiercely.

The sky was at times icy as a prison, freezing all things; at times the scorching sun hung overhead, its spirit-breaking and spell-destroying light shining down, turning all things to ash.

The originally vibrant banks of the Moon Xihe instantly became an apocalypse, ruins everywhere, flames everywhere, not a shred of life remaining.

Ding!

A piercing sword cry.

A blue-gold flying sword was slashed away, its spiritual light flickering uncertainly as it fled backward in a wretched state.

The moon-white flying sword radiated brilliantly, spreading cool, gentle moonlight to the heavens and the earth.

"Inept swordsmanship!"

"Great Sun Sword Disciple?"

Yu Yu Qianzi vented her anger, mocking mercilessly: "I have never seen a Great Sun Sword Disciple whose swordsmanship is this poor; Moon, look again, there must be some mistake somewhere."

She was still trying to persuade the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi Formation Core.

No response.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Ding's face darkened.

His swordsmanship had already reached the level of a core disciple of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, surpassing even the Reincarnation Sword Son of the Wuxingtian Sect — not weak at all.

But compared to the Sword Sons of the Moon Vein of the Sun Moon Sword Pavilion, and the Great Sun Sword Sons of past generations, there was indeed a vast gulf.

"Divide!"

Jiang Ding flicked a finger.

The retreating Taiqing flying sword hummed and trembled, blurred, and suddenly split into eight identical blue-gold flying swords. Between the nine flying swords, azure thread-like patterns blossomed, and vast swathes of blue-gold sword qi rose and fell.

Magnetic Spirit Energy Gathering Killing Formation!

This was a formation he had been in contact with since the Qi Refining stage, and by now he was extremely proficient with it. He deployed it instinctively, and combined with the azure magnetic sense patterns between his brows, it transformed into a sword formation in an instant, spreading out over a ten-kilometer radius.

The girl in the moon-white immortal skirt was caught off guard and drowned within the magnetic sword formation.

"The soul-amplifying ability of the Taiqing Flying Sword!"

Yu Yu Qianzi revealed a flash of envy, then quickly suppressed it.

"Sword light division?"

"I can do that too!"

She pouted.

Hum!

The moon-white flying sword split into nine, and moon-colored formation patterns spread between the sword formation. Hazy sword qi arose along with white mist, moonlight gathered, and transformed the nine-kilometer radius around her into a world within the moon.

Boom!

The two great sword formations collided thunderously in the nick of time. Soul-shattering, law-destroying blue-gold sword qi and moon-white sword qi that froze all things surged toward each other like tides, fighting fiercely and mutually annihilating.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Ding frowned.

The gap in swordsmanship was revealed even more clearly in the offensive clash of the sword formations.

Though both sides had over a thousand strands of sword qi, and thanks to the combined augmentation of Po Fa Xian Jin and Taiqing Divine Iron, the blue-gold sword qi was even sharper, slaying souls and destroying spirits as it howled toward the sky.

But the result was that the equally numerous moon-white sword qi was controlled with extraordinary finesse, and was further aided by clusters of phantoms. Under the encirclement and assault, the blue-gold sword qi was at a disadvantage from the very first clash.

Strands of moon-white sword light flashed past, and the blue-gold sword qi shattered and collapsed, almost without any power to resist.

The Magnetic Spirit Energy Gathering Killing Sword Formation was being steadily eroded and destroyed at an astonishing speed — the complete opposite of what the advantage in power and sharpness would suggest.

"Nothing more than this."

"Surrender! Great Sun Sword Son."

Yu Yu Qianzi's heart settled completely. She looked toward the blue-robed youth within the sword formation and said magnanimously, "As long as you beg me for mercy and offer a sincere apology, I will take you to Qingmuxian Sect. The people from Brother Brother Xuanwu's Heavenly Palace won't be able to find you."

She pointed a slender finger.

Clang!

A faint sword hum, hazy and indistinct, carrying terrifying illusions that could make one's soul go astray.

And then,

Boom!

The moon-white flying sword's speed suddenly skyrocketed, far surpassing its previous velocity, slashing toward the distant youth's chest — almost reaching the terrifying level of arriving the instant the thought arose.

The Second Realm of the Sword Dao — Sword Qi Thunder Sound!

Killing intent erupted suddenly, leaving no room to react; the sword struck to take the enemy's life in a single blow.
