The Royal Guard Saber's edge-cutting effect can sever all weapons below high quality.
However, when facing rare-quality weapons, the effect is only 50%, and you need to continue fighting to accumulate sharpness.
Furthermore, this does not mean that the second strike will destroy the opponent's weapon 100% of the time; there is still a 50% failure rate.
This was the first time Yang Sheng had ever seen a weapon of rare quality or higher.
With a thought, the transparent card that only he could see appeared in the storage space, and Si Tianyao's information appeared on it.
personal information:
Name: Si Tianyao
Strength rating: Nine Revolutions (mid to late stage)
Identity: Former leader of the Crimson Flame Sword Hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect
Specialization: 91% proficiency in swordsmanship (including multiple techniques such as "Li Huo Sword Style", "Zhu Rong Heart Sutra", and "Heavenly Sword Sect Sword Dao General Outline").
Weapon: Flame Spirit (Rare) Forged from black iron tempered for a hundred days at the center of a volcano, it is born with the power of fire spirit, doubling its ability to conduct fire attribute internal energy, and can also absorb the surrounding fire attribute spiritual energy to replenish the user.
The Heavenly Sword Sect has many elders like Si Tianyao who held important positions in their youth or middle age before retiring into seclusion.
It's not because these elders know how to delegate authority, but because most martial artists, as they age, experience a decline in their internal strength along with the decay of their physical bodies.
Because Si Tianyao possesses the rare weapon Flame Spirit, he can absorb the surrounding spiritual energy on his own, which is why he can always maintain his peak condition.
"What an amazing weapon! So this skill has a built-in mana regeneration effect?"
However, breaking this rule isn't difficult; all you need to do is ensure that the recovery of internal energy can't keep up with the consumption.
Yang Sheng lunged forward, unleashing his blood oath to its maximum. The slash he delivered was so powerful that the howling sound of the blade was so intense it hurt people's eardrums.
Si Tianyao snorted coldly, his sword strikes becoming even more ferocious.
The Fire Sword Style he practiced was inherently aggressive, emphasizing momentum and unending sword strikes to defeat his opponent in one fell swoop.
However, when he encountered Yang Sheng, Si Tianyao felt as if he had met a monster. Yang Sheng's physical strength was astonishing, and he was even able to withstand the aftershocks of Si Tianyao's sword energy.
Yang Sheng countered with an offensive attack, the Imperial Guard's saber clashing repeatedly with Si Tianyao's Flame Spirit, causing Si Tianyao's arm to go numb.
Just then, a dim yellow light emanated, accompanied by the clash of swords, and seeped into Si Tianyao's body.
In an instant, a deep and cold aura eroded Si Tianyao's inner strength and vitality, making his face even paler.
The power of Ying Gou, the curse of the Underworld!
The life-devouring effect of the Dark Sea Curse might only cause temporary weakness in young people, but it is a fatal blow to an elderly person like Si Tianyao.
That momentary hesitation was enough to expose a flaw in Si Tianyao's sword technique.
Step forward, twist your body, and strike back!
Yang Sheng gripped the Imperial Guard's saber in reverse, twisted his body to use the momentum, and slashed back, sending the Flame Spirit in Si Tianyao's hand flying with a single blow.
The next moment, the blade was like a spear, piercing straight for Si Tianyao's throat with an indomitable momentum!
At this critical moment, the Zhu Rong True Qi within Si Tianyao's body burned and boiled violently, briefly dispelling the chilling power of the Nether Sea Curse.
His internal energy surged and erupted, causing Si Tianyao to spit out a mouthful of blood. He leaped to the side, but his clothes were torn by the sharpness of the Imperial Guard's sword, leaving a bloodstain on his chest.
Jiang Xuerou rushed forward and shouted, "We admit defeat! We admit defeat!"
Jiang Xuerou helped Si Tianyao up and immediately fed him several pills.
Yang Sheng did not continue to pursue the enemy to the bitter end, after all, it was a duel between generals, not a life-or-death struggle.
Moreover, he will definitely not only play one more game, but there will be other times when he makes his move, so we cannot reveal all our cards at once.
On the other two sides, Yuwen Du gave a disdainful sneer.
It's unclear whether they were mocking Si Tianyao for being old and weak, or mocking Yang Sheng for being nothing special.
Wu Sansi asked in a low voice to a middle-aged man behind him who had an ordinary appearance, wore a blue cloth robe, and had his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking like an old farmer, "Mr. Liu, what do you think?"
The sixth gentleman squinted and said, "Si Tianyao is old. When he was young and at his peak, his Li Huo sword technique was continuous, with fire dancing in the air, and his aura was extraordinary."
But now even sword energy can't hurt people. It's not that his sword has slowed down, but that he has been in seclusion for decades and his mind has slowed down.
As for Yang Sheng, to be honest, I can't figure out his background.
However, when he made his move, he exuded a murderous aura and was extremely sharp, indicating that he was not a simple character.
Moreover, I'm certain that he was holding back in that battle!
He definitely still has some trump cards he hasn't used yet.
Wu Sansi nodded and said, "Then let's continue. Who will fight next?"
Yuwen Du shouted, "I'll do it!"
As he spoke, a black-armored warrior stepped forward and immediately challenged the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Grand Tutor Cai and Zhang Xiren were political enemies, and the two had clashed countless times in the court, so it was normal for Yuwen Du to choose the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Moreover, Si Tianyao, the strongest member of the Heavenly Sword Sect, has been severely injured and crippled by Yang Sheng. What else do they have to fear?
However, to everyone's surprise, Jiang Xuerou stepped forward to fight and easily defeated her opponent.
Jiang Xuerou's nickname is Jade Sword. Her main skill is not swordsmanship, but rather hidden weapons.
Jiang Xuerou threw out eight small jade swords in succession, but she had a secret method to contain her inner strength within those jade swords.
She could even condense her inner energy into threads and manipulate these jade swords to stab her opponent one after another, leaving Yuwen Du's subordinates defenseless. In the end, one of them was stabbed in the dantian by a sword, crippling his martial arts.
