Three methods to slay advanced mages in the mid-game?
Upon this utterance, everyone on the spot was involuntarily shocked.
If this statement had been made before Chen Yun and Yuan Chu engaged in combat, it might not have been recognized by anyone at all.
However, Chen Yun first successfully blocked Yun's sneak attack without a scratch, and then reciprocated by blocking Yuan Chu's ultimate technique without any damage.
At this moment, everyone realized that the young Daoist in front of them, who looked quite young, might not have been exaggerating his words after all.
Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan, Qin Ming, and their fellow practitioners fixed their serious eyes on Chen Yun, eager to see what kind of ultimate skill he would use to slay Yuan Chu within three moves.
Yun's disciples, along with the other sword cultivators, felt somewhat nervous.
Although in their minds, Yuan Chu was an invincible presence.
However, after witnessing the scene just now, they experienced their first crack in faith.
Even for the onlookers and practitioners observing, let alone the rest.
Even Yuan Chu, who was currently facing off against Chen Yun, had become somewhat tense at this moment.
He never thought that after years of painstaking research on the Residual Moon Sword Qi, which excels in causing injury, it not only failed to split the arrogant young man in front of him into two pieces, but also didn't even damage his robe.
Yuan Chu felt intuitively that the "little ancestor" in front of him practiced a powerful physiques cultivation method, which was more than just the simple copper skin and iron bones.
Otherwise, if he was significantly higher than the other by one level, it would be impossible for his ultimate technique to break even a corner of the opponent's clothes in just one hit.
"I have underestimated you a bit," Yuan Chu expressed his appreciation with a look of admiration, "You are able to exercise your body at such a young age to be so strong, it's likely not just due to extraordinary talent and exceptional agility, but also because you've spent a lot of effort on your cultivation. Intelligence is innate and determines one's limit, while diligence is spontaneous and determines one's lower limit. If you can survive three moves unscathed on my hand today, I, Yuan Chu, am willing to give up the Golden Dragon's Eye!
He said these words sincerely and truly admired Chen Yun for having such formidable cultivation at such a young age.
Even though Chen Yun had not yet actively made any moves, but still impressed the opponent with his skills, it can be imagined how powerful he was just then.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Yun showed no appreciation and simply replied in a calm tone, "I said, three moves to kill you!"
"Good! Good! Good!" Yuan Chu shouted "good" three times just like before, but his tone was no longer angry; instead, he said with a warlike spirit, "I want to see what high-level skills you have, and kill me within three moves."
As he spoke, a cold glow filled his entire body, making him seem like a sword that had just been drawn, and he became indispensable and unbeatable!
Yuan Chu seemed to be "exploding his aura."
As the cold light appeared, it shot up into the sky instantly, forming a column of light that stretched from the heavens to the earth.
The dense sword aura within the column was surging, gradually forming a huge shadow.
The virtual figure was over ten zhang in height, gold-shaped wood, Daoist bones and immortal wind phoenix on top of crane's back, tiger body dragon cheeks peacock eyes facing the sky, double eyebrows into the collar neck refining hollow exposed, forehead round body round, imperial ridge straight face color yellow white left eyebrow corner a black dot foot lines rising as turtle, top Hua Yang band is precisely Brother Chen Yun's style!
At the moment the shadow of Lü Dongbin appeared, Yuan Chu's entire aura completely changed; he was no longer a cold light piercing "treasure sword," but rather became a sovereign ruling the heavens!
The sword is a weapon, among which there are a hundred types, and it is the king among them.
The use of weapons is to fight, which involves life and death, so it is called the sword, with two edges, avoiding neither the sharpness on the left nor on the right.
There are different categories of sword cultivators, each with their own unique styles, and the skill levels vary from person to person, not all being the same.
Therefore, a skilled sword user chooses the weapon they prefer and specializes in what is most advantageous to them.
Yuan Chu cultivates an improved technique from Lü Dongbin's refinement of "Tian Xun Jianfa."
If one reaches the level of Lü Dongbin, they can cut off desires, attain enlightenment, and obtain profound wisdom. With a single sword, they can accompany them for life. The sky and earth are bound together in a sigh, and the stars and planets rotate as if stopped in their tracks.
Yuan Chu cannot even reach the level of "the sky and earth are bound together in a sigh, and the stars and suns stop their rotation." He has not even reached the level of cutting off greed and anger, but is only at the stage of cutting off sexual desires. Naturally, he cannot unleash the power of the sword technique he obtained from "Tian Xun Jianfa."
However, he has a unique cultivation method, that is, imagining himself as Chun Yuan Zi using sword techniques.
Once he conjures the "Law Image" of the Ancestor, he can enhance his sword technique's power several times over!
Seeing that the Residual Moon Sword Qi was ineffective, Yuan Chu immediately resorted to this technique!
Even though Lü Dongbin's shadow was closed his eyes, the killing aura emitted from him still caused chills.
Wu Kejiu looked solemn and said, "This move is not to be taken lightly!"
Kang Yuan was so tense that he said, "If I were to face this move, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to defend myself."
Qin Ming closed his eyes and didn't speak, but he had already made up his mind inside. If Chen Yun were to be in danger, he wouldn't care about whether it violated the rules of the martial world; he would definitely come to his aid, after all, this was his only hope for joining the mainstream of the Taoist Church.
The three upper-class monks were still able to withstand the pressure brought by Lü Dongbin's shadow.
Long Nu Sanjiu, Gao Chen, Ding Xu, and others could not help but shiver with fear just by looking at the shadow of Lü Dongbin in the column of light.
The terrifying killing intent was too much for people to bear.
Yun's disciples didn't expect Chen Yun, a mid-level mage, to force Yuan Chu to use his second most powerful technique!
Whether Chen Yun lives or dies, the fact that a mid-level mage could force a senior mage in the middle stage of cultivation to use such powerful skills is enough to be proud of!
Chen Yun naturally noticed the terrifying nature of Yuan Chu's attack that was about to be unleashed.
With his "Guan Qi Shu" active, he saw a powerful circular aura emanating from Lü Dongbin's shadow.
This kind of pressure is invisible to the naked eye.
This circular pressure appears gentle, but as it spreads, everything in the universe seems to be "smoothed out" and disappears.
It was as if only boundless emptiness remained in front of them.
In this void, there were only Chen Yun, Yuan Chu, and the shadow of Lü Dongbin with his eyes closed.
"This move will likely be very fierce, and I alone may not be able to withstand it with just my physical body."
Chen Yun began to chant under his breath, continuously summoning his true qi and gradually enveloping him with it.
As soon as Chen Yun moved, the shadow of Lü Dongbin suddenly moved, and with a gesture of his hand, the sword behind him automatically sheathed itself.
Zhēng!
A soft sound.
As the sword was revealed, Chen Yun felt a flash of cold light and a vast power surged, blurring everything in his sight!
The void, Yuan Chu, and the shadow of Lü Dongbin all seemed to turn yellow!
The world around them trembled.
It was as if... the end of the world had come!
Although the shadow of Lü Dongbin only pulled out a sword, the aura it transmitted was so terrifying that it made people feel as if they were suffocating!
This killing aura is tangible.
Everything within a radius of ten to fifteen zhang around Chen Yun was instantly turned to ashes upon the illumination of the sword light!
Yes, all the matter was "obliterated" by the sword light!
Although the distance from the sword light was still far, Chen Yun felt his heart tighten as if he had been locked by an incredibly terrifying beast. His soul was shaken and "limbs and bones" all had a chilling, bone-piercing sensation.
"If I am directly hit by this sword light, I am sure to suffer severe injuries."
Chen Yun knew that he had to use his ultimate technique!
Seeing the sword light getting closer and closer.
Without hesitation, Chen Yun used the "Eight Trigrams Protection Incantation" he obtained from Yin Wuji, frantically activating the true qi within his body.
At the same time, his chanting became faster and faster, "The Heaven and Earth Swirling Formation combines, the universe responds to all directions; Yin and Yang unite to form one, all eight directions converge to be level…… The mountains are high and solid, steady and wise as a god."
Although Chen Yun chanted at an extremely fast pace, the sword light instantly approached!
Fortunately, at the very moment when the sword light was almost upon him, he finally recited the last line of the incantation, "The waters flow slowly, harmonizing all things."
Huila.
The silence was broken by a sound of wind.
A bright light rose from Chen Yun's body, transforming into a huge "Bagua Mirror" that enveloped him instantly.
Boom!
The sword light struck the Bagua Mirror, causing an terrifying explosion instantly!
A powerful gale-like wave, as fierce as a typhoon of twelve levels, surged out from it, spreading in all directions.
Everywhere it touched, whether mountains, rivers, soil, or even grass and trees, everything was uplifted!
Such terrifying power truly shocked Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan, Qin Ming, Yun's disciples, and both sides!
However, that was not what shocked them the most.
That sword light chopped vegetables like cucumbers, breaking through the defense of the Bagua Mirror and striking Chen Yun instantly!
Dang!
Another resounding explosion echoed!
Everyone only saw a fierce glow rise up at Chen Yun's shoulder position, as if a meteorite had hit the ground!
The terrifying flame burst into the sky, spreading outwards.
Wu Kejiu, seeing the situation turn dire, feared that the impact's power might destroy the Jinqing Longyan tree.
He quickly chanted an incantation to suppress the flames.
However, he adhered strictly to the rules and never interfered with the duel between the two.
Qin Ming, on the other hand, snapped open his eyes in anger and was about to rush over to save Chen Yun.
Who knew that before he could even move, the flames had already receded rapidly.
Everyone only saw Chen Yun, majestic and suspended in the air that had already lost its ground support.
Chen Yun, except for his robe being torn apart and a white scar appearing on his shoulder, had no other injuries!
"What... What?"
"A?"
"How is that possible?"
"Impossible! Impossible! The ancestor's fierce strike was so powerful that even high-level mages wouldn't dare to withstand it with their bodies, yet he managed to block it with just his flesh and blood?"
"I can't believe my own eyes!"
"This... Is it real? Am I dreaming? Is it possible for someone to withstand such a fierce strike with their flesh and blood?"
Everyone was in a noisy uproar.
Everyone couldn't believe that Chen Yun had once again blocked an unstoppable strike using his flesh and blood!
Everyone couldn't believe that Chen Yun had once again blocked an unstoppable strike using his flesh and blood. Just as Yuan Chu's move was so powerful that even a few remaining upper-class mages couldn't withstand it, let alone a high-level mage who came over and used defensive magic.
Why couldn't even high-level mages withstand it?
Because the path of swordsmanship seeks ultimate lethality!
Yuan Chu imagined himself as Chun Yuan Zi, using the sword techniques from The Heavenly Disappearance Sword Art. The sharpness of the sword light could be said to be irrelevant to all defenses.
However, now!
But at this moment!
Yet he still managed to block it!
His body showed only a white scar on his shoulder!
This scene left everyone in shock.
Despite no one knowing why Chen Yun's physical body was so strong that he could withstand such a fierce strike.
But everyone suddenly realized something. Chen Yun's words about slaying Yuan Chu within three moves were not idle chatter. It was very likely to come true!
After all, Yuan Chu couldn't break through Chen Yun's defenses.
Then continuing the duel would only lead to consequences that everyone could predict.
That means Yuan Chu would certainly be slain!
Is this going to be a spectacular event where a mid-level mage slays an upper-level mage?
Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan, and Qin Ming, as well as others, became very excited in an instant and stared intently at the front, hoping to see if the miracle they expected would actually come true!
