Chapter 580: Civil Engineering Plus Flying Sword?
Watching Zhang Yu manipulate his flying swords with the divine strength of Heavenly Kunlun's mountain-moving power to deliver a grinding assault, Bei Wufeng was unhurried as he lightly flicked his fingers and changed his sword seal.
"Junior, that's not how you play with flying swords. It's not about who has more strength."
"What do you think of this Ten Thousand Swords Art, junior?"
Bei Wufeng gave a light laugh. His twelve flying swords split from one into two, then from two into four, and in the blink of an eye they had transformed into a sky full of sword shadows.
However, this transformation was not a literal multiplication of Bei Wufeng's Taihao Sacred Law flying swords on the material plane; rather, in Zhang Yu's perception, they became densely packed and hard to distinguish between real and illusory.
Zhang Yu felt as if he had turned on radar but could neither locate the opponent's true flying swords nor see anything but a dense mass of red dots, all of them false targets.
Zhang Yu knew that during a sword duel, the flying swords crisscrossed back and forth across the vast sky, moving not only at high speed but also over great distances. At such a time, it was impossible to lock on through mere vision.
Even within this battlefield of ten square li, trying to visually search for the opponent's twelve flying swords would never keep up with the changes in his offensive.
As for the Taihao Sacred Law flying swords' method of detecting and locking targets, it relied on the Taihao Sword Realm and the Taihao Moral Sword Intent.
In terms of sword intent, since the start of the battle, both sides had been clashing constantly, and neither Zhang Yu nor Bei Wufeng could gain an upper hand in sword intent over the other.
As for the struggle in the sword realm, Bei Wufeng was comprehensively leading.
Once the Ten Thousand Swords Art was deployed, it completely disrupted Zhang Yu's perception of flying swords. As streaks of light collided with each other, his twelve Taihao Sacred Law flying swords seemed to go blind, being beaten back step by step.
Bei Wufeng gave a light laugh and asked, "Junior, if we keep fighting, the repair costs for your flying swords will be quite high. Do you want to continue?"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "Senior, this has only just begun. Why rush to end it?"
As he spoke, Zhang Yu was already forming hand seals, unleashing the Formless Mind Soldiers of Heaven-Earth Calamity.
"Wind Calamity!"
As Zhang Yu pointed a finger through the air, a wind from the spirit realm blew mightily toward the twelve Taihao Sacred Law flying swords.
For a moment, the spirit realm flow of the twelve flying swords surged dramatically, and the sword realm expanded violently, scattering most of the illusory projections created by the Ten Thousand Swords Art, gradually detecting the positions of the real flying swords.
"Fire Calamity!"
With a soft boom!
The mana on the twelve flying swords exploded, forming blazing flames of mana that forcibly pushed the flying swords into overload mode.
In an instant, the twelve flying swords became like twelve bolts of lightning, driven by terrestrial gravity and the Fire Calamity, forcing Bei Wufeng into a flurry of activity.
"Good junior, I didn't expect you to have pushed the Formless Mind Soldiers of Heaven-Earth Calamity to Level 10 in just two short months?"
"Fine, then let's compete in swordsmanship once more."
"Twelve Sword Attendants! Appear!"
In an instant, a spirit realm gate materialized in the air. It was the gate to Bei Wufeng's cave dwelling deep within the spirit realm.
As the cave dwelling gate opened, twelve sword spirit projections leaped out from within.
These twelve sword spirits were artifacts painstakingly crafted by Bei Wufeng. Although they lacked high intelligence, each had undergone massive amounts of swordsmanship training, absorbing swordsmanship data day and night in Bei Wufeng's spirit realm cave dwelling, continuously mastering different techniques and dueling with each other.
With the added spirit realm acceleration function, each one was like a swordsmanship expert who had trained for hundreds of years, with nothing in their minds besides swordsmanship.
The moment the twelve sword attendants were deployed, Zhang Yu felt as if he were being stabbed by twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators wielding flying swords.
Even with Zhang Yu's rapid thought processing and his rich martial experience, he could hardly withstand the siege of these twelve sword attendants.
Amid a series of thunderclaps, Bei Wufeng's flying swords, boosted by the twelve sword attendants, swept in like a whirlwind scattering leaves, seemingly breaking through to within a thousand meters of Zhang Yu in no time.
Facing this combined sword spirit offensive, Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened imperceptibly. Without his noticing, he had switched his Green Lotus Sword Embryo to the Three-Eyes Divine Ability and swapped his Wire-Form Diagram suit to the Martial Saint Body.
And letting the opponent's flying swords get within a thousand meters was something Zhang Yu had deliberately arranged.
Within a thousand meters, he could barely keep track of the flying sword melee with his own eyes.
Especially with the enhancement of the Three-Eyes Divine Ability and the Martial Saint Body, what had previously been a tangled mess of twelve sword paths converging on him, difficult to identify, now became clearly visible. Every move and every technique was so simple and clear, so... learnable.
With a crashing sound, two flying swords collided fiercely using the same posture and the same sword technique.
Thus, under Bei Wufeng's surprised gaze, the closer the flying swords got to Zhang Yu's position, the fiercer the resistance became. Zhang Yu even began learning from his twelve sword attendants.
"Is this..." Bei Wufeng's heart stirred. "Could he have hidden a sword spirit inside his flying swords? And while dueling me, he's secretly learning my sword spirit data?"
In less than a minute, the third eye in Zhang Yu's head trembled violently, frantically imitating the sword techniques of the twelve sword attendants.
At the same time, as the immeasurable inner Dharma body operated fiercely, accompanied by a roar of the four-headed white bull in his mind, three additional thoughts simultaneously commanded the flying swords.
At this moment, Zhang Yu seemed to transform one body into four, becoming four powerful beings with the three-eyed divine ability, each driving three flying swords to form a sword array, continuously blocking Beiwufeng's attacks.
Combined with the blessing of Heavenly Kunlun's divine power of moving mountains and the Heaven-Earth Calamity Invisible Heart Soldier, he gradually gained the upper hand.
In the sky, Anzhen Zhenjun watched this scene and nodded slightly: "Beiwufeng's chosen military-grade weapon-refining technique is the Tai Xu Divine Artifact Strategy. He uses this military-grade technique as his foundation, paired with the Tai Hao Sacred Law Sword Array, and has added many additional functions to the sword array."
"Once the sword battle begins, it is as splendid as flowers in bloom, overwhelming simplicity with complexity. The abundance of methods is enough to handle any situation."
"As for Zhang Yu, he transferred from the civil engineering department and cultivated the Heavenly Kunlun's divine power of moving mountains. Later, the weapon-refining technique he chose was the Heaven-Earth Calamity Invisible Heart Soldier."
