Chapter Forty-Nine: Slaying Stars
"The sword is named Star Slayer, a level 5 sword spirit weapon, Azure Sword King, which was used before becoming a king."
Holding an ancient longsword, his voice was as cold as ice as he spoke slowly.
Glancing at the Star-Slaying Sword in the other's hand, and then at the iron sword on Jian Yan's back, Su Yang bit his thin lips.
"Who is the Azure Sword King to you?"
"My great-grandfather."
Jian Yan's words, like a raging storm, instantly swept across the entire arena.
Although many people had heard beforehand that Jianyan had a connection with Qingjianwang, who could have known that the other party was actually a direct descendant of Qingjianwang!
"Is that so?"
Nodding, although equally surprised by the other party's identity, Su Yang was not intimidated by the King.
As for suffering a loss in terms of weaponry, Su Yang could only swallow it honestly.
If others have it, why can't they use it?
Moreover, he had taken out the Green Bamboo earlier because he saw the mortal sword behind Jian Yan and also had the idea of bullying people with weapons.
In other words, he simply ran into a brick wall, so he has no one to blame but the other party.
However, glancing once more at the spirit sword in the other's hand, he sighed, "The Azure Sword King is truly willing to part with it."
Level 5 spiritual weapons are rare. Each one shines like a star in the Great Xia Dynasty, enough to attract the attention of grandmaster-level experts.
Even the Luoxia Sword Sect doesn't have many level 5 spiritual weapons, and one of them is on Su Yang's face.
However, the Thousand Illusions on Su Yang's face were extremely special. They had no offensive capabilities, as their only function was to conceal his true appearance.
However, precisely because of its singular function, Thousand Illusion, though only a level 5 spiritual weapon, can prevent a King-level expert from seeing through his true form. In this respect, Thousand Illusion can even be considered half a King-level weapon.
Jian Yan himself knew that it was too much to bully others by taking out a level-five spiritual weapon, but he had no choice but to suffer in silence.
Su Yang is too powerful. If he doesn't use the Star-Slaying Technique, he'll probably lose badly.
However, his decision to use a level-five spiritual weapon at this moment was already quite unseemly.
Unlike Qin Lan's previous level four sword, the Canglan Sword, this level five spiritual weapon is comparable to the Grandmaster realm.
With his sixth-level innate cultivation, Jian Yan can fight a Grandmaster for a short time without being defeated!
In other words, Su Yang was no longer facing a Xiantian martial artist, but a pseudo-Grandmaster!
Martial arts grandmaster, the pinnacle of martial arts, is a level that ordinary martial artists cannot even imagine.
Even Su Yang's face became more serious at this moment.
"This is bad. With Jianyan's level 5 sword in hand, Yang Shu is in danger this time."
"Indeed, Jian Yan is actually a descendant of the Azure Sword King, and is already far stronger than other innate experts. Now that he also has the Star-Slaying Sword in hand, I'm afraid Yang Shu's path to becoming an emperor is doomed."
"It's a pity and a lament. In the past, the Azure Sword King wielded the Star-Slaying Sword and fought against the kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty before he even became a king. Now, his descendants wield the Star-Slaying Sword and are probably invincible among those of the same realm."
Various discussions arose in every corner of the arena, all expressing their lament for Su Yang.
Even though they admired Su Yang for his consecutive victories against seventy Tiger Ranking experts, they still weren't very optimistic about him when they saw the Level 5 Spirit Weapon.
Ignoring the voices, Su Yang felt no fear.
It would be naive to think that one could defeat him simply by relying on the power of a spiritual weapon.
Indeed, spiritual weapons are very powerful, but in the world of martial arts, whoever has the better weapon is not necessarily invincible!
If that's the case, then why bother practicing martial arts? Just buy a weapon and sleep with it every day.
"Your sword is nice, but it will be mine in a moment."
Su Yang smiled, like the spring sun in March, warming people's hearts.
"Is that so? If you can get it, it's yours."
Jian Yan wasn't annoyed. He had already used a level-five spiritual weapon. If he was still no match for Su Yang, then it would mean that he was not worthy of possessing this sword at all.
Since it is unworthy, what harm is there in the sword seeking a new master?
They looked at each other, smiled, and then each took a step forward, their true energy surging like waves.
The green bamboo in his hand was not as powerful as the Star-Slaying Sword. Even with the support of his own true essence, Su Yang did not dare to clash head-on with Jian Yan.
With a body as light as the wind and capable of transforming into countless forms, relying on his wondrous movement techniques, Su Yang's afterimages appeared in every corner of the arena in an instant.
Jian Yan, sword in hand, remained vigilant. As a descendant of a king, his understanding of the carefree king's martial arts techniques far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Su Yang's seemingly illusory afterimages actually each possessed the power of a true body.
If he were to attack rashly, countless sharp blades would likely be thrust at him in an instant.
"What? You're afraid even with a level-five spiritual weapon in your hand?"
On every afterimage's face, Su Yang's signature smile blossomed.
Jian Yan did not answer, but instead slowly closed his eyes.
He couldn't possibly find Su Yang's true form by sight alone.
Rather than letting his eyes cloud his judgment, he should discard them from the start.
Thanks to years of practicing the same sword strike countless times a day, Jian Yan easily became immersed in his own world.
Here, all his five senses vanished, except for the surge of martial arts inspiration.
Quietly sensing everything around, even the most powerful martial arts could never truly eliminate their own existence.
Therefore, Su Yang's true body must remain somewhere, and all the afterimages and illusions are just his means of interfering with him.
Quietly sensing every detail until inspiration struck, Jian Yan noticed an extremely subtle difference and knew that he had found Su Yang's true form.
Without hesitation, he thrust out the Star-Slaying Sword, an extremely ordinary move, just like the one he practiced every day.
He doesn't know martial arts, only basic sword techniques: thrusting, parrying, slashing, and cutting.
But what was clearly just an ordinary move appeared extraordinary to Su Yang at this moment.
The sword lashed out like a shuttle, its light flashing like a shadow, aiming straight for Su Yang's chest. Su Yang didn't even seem to have time to dodge.
Everything happened too fast, in the blink of an eye.
But when the sword pierced through Su Yang's chest, Jian Yan knew that he had missed.
But he remained calm and turned around to slash behind him with his sword.
However, it shattered Su Yang's afterimage once again.
Watching Su Yang's afterimage slowly dissipate into specks of light, Jian Yan was utterly astonished this time!
His previous thrust was deliberately aimed at Su Yang's afterimage, all to create an opportunity for his counterattack.
But he still missed, as if his earlier attempt to sense Su Yang's location was just wishful thinking!
Without giving Jianyan much time to think, Su Yang moved like a gentle breeze, and at the same time, he thrust his green bamboo sword three thousand times in a row!
The sword shadows were overwhelming, aiming straight for Jian Yan's vital points, but Su Yang's sword tip would only pierce through his clothes each time before stopping.
He wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide. Until he had completely absorbed Su Yang's attack, Jian Yan's clothes were all torn to shreds.
Fortunately, Su Yang wasn't a person with a perverse sense of humor and still left him with his lower body clothing.
Seeing Jian Yan holding his sword, lost in thought for a long time, Su Yang calmly reminded him, "You have lost."
