Two figures stood on the ground, like two peerless divine swords, cold and murderous, making it impossible for anyone to approach them.
In the void, two sword intents erupted simultaneously, each containing extreme sharpness.
The mountains seemed to be shrouded in a deathly silence.
"It seems that Dugu Sword Saint has traveled all over the world and obtained a great opportunity, which has brought him to this level."
Among the spectators, Ning Qiudao seemed to have something in mind and sighed softly.
He and his opponent were actually from the same era, and they had fought each other many times, with each side winning and losing.
Unexpectedly, after decades apart, the other party had far surpassed him.
Xuanjizi, standing to the side, then spoke up:
"Dugu Yijian has made quite a name for himself in the Desolate Continent. Twenty years ago, he entered the Desolate Ancient Sword Tomb and obtained the inheritance of a sword god. He also went to the Suspended Sword Tower to serve as a guest elder and obtained a lot of resources."
However, I didn't expect them to choose Li Ming as their opponent in the duel.
"Yes, I didn't expect that Li Ming's swordsmanship would even be recognized by Dugu Yijian."
They naturally understood the purpose of this sword competition.
That's why they were surprised that Li Ming was the one who participated in the sword duel.
This means that Li Ming's swordsmanship skills may be no less than Dugu Yijian's.
now.
Li Ming and Dugu Yijian were ten feet apart when Li Ming felt a vast sword intent rolling in, followed by a sword cry that sounded like a dragon's roar.
A three-foot-long sword with a deep blue color and covered with Dao patterns has been displayed before the world.
To the naked eye, it appears to have no divine properties, resembling an ordinary weapon, yet it is perceived by many celestial beings.
That sword encompassed everything; it seemed to contain mountains and rivers, the sun and moon, and the stars...
Buzz~~~
The moment the longsword was drawn, the martial artists on and below the mountain, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a chill in their hearts.
It seems that its sharp edge could not be hidden in the end, and its soul was wounded.
For a moment, some people couldn't help but touch their chests, only to find that they were not injured.
"This sword is named Autumn Water. It is a divine sword that I retrieved from the Ancient Sword Tomb. Although it has only been with me for a short time, I must say it is a fine sword."
Dugu Yijian looked at the three-foot-long sword in his hand and spoke calmly.
In this world, although skilled sword cultivators can achieve a state where they have no sword in their hands but a sword in their hearts, and even grass and trees become swords.
But when it comes to actual combat, which swordsman wouldn't want a divine sword?
Li Ming could tell that the Autumn Water Sword in the opponent's hand was a divine weapon-level longsword, and of high quality. He agreed.
"This is indeed a fine sword."
Dugu Yijian then reminisced slightly:
"My clansmen say that when I was born, there seemed to be the sound of swords ringing out, but I rarely practiced swordsmanship in my childhood. The elders in the clan thought I didn't like swords, little did they know that I only needed to glance at their swordsmanship to understand it..."
"At the age of seven, I defeated my swordsmanship teacher with a single sword strike. At the age of twelve, I comprehended the sword intent of mountains and rivers by observing the landscape and ascended to the level of a grandmaster. At the age of eighteen, I comprehended the sword intent of the four seasons by observing the rising and setting of the sun and the changing seasons and created my own first sword technique, ascending to the level of a martial saint."
"By the age of thirty, I had become utterly devoted to the sword, transcending all others and self, and entered the realm of the Celestials. I challenged numerous sword sects of the Great Yan Dynasty with my sword. In the entire Great Yan, across two generations, no one could surpass my swordsmanship. They thought I had received the true teachings of the Sword God, but they did not know that grass, trees, bamboo, and rocks could all become my sword, and all things in the world were my teachers..."
Then Dugu Yijian continued:
"Fellow Daoist, do you think sword cultivators need to have attachments and emotions?"
After listening, Li Ming remained silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"Heaven is ruthless, but the Great Way is compassionate. The Way of the Sword is inherently ruthless, but when people cultivate the Way of the Sword, it acquires compassion."
Upon hearing these words, he seemed to have gained some understanding of his own path.
The Chaos Sword was drawn, and at the same time, a surge of sword intent soared into the sky.
I reign supreme above all under heaven.
It rivals Dugu Yijian's sword intent.
Dugu Yijian remained silent, offering neither rebuttal nor agreement.
He cultivates the ruthless sword technique.
A hundred years ago, he had already freed himself from all attachments and devoted himself entirely to the sword.
As a result, his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds.
But when he asked this question, he was not fixated on that point.
On the contrary, he also understood that almost no one in this world dares to say that they have no attachments.
His swordsmanship was not entirely ruthless.
"Excellent sword intent, Fellow Daoist Li, let's begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three-foot-long sword was suddenly drawn, and Dugu Yijian let out a soft shout:
"Fellow Daoist, be careful."
"Sword One, draw your sword and cleave the heavens."
Sword energy swept across the sky; with a single strike, the air surged and the sky seemed to be sliced apart by the sword.
This sword strike, though merely the opening move, was still exceptionally powerful.
In the hands of this Sword Saint, the power unleashed seemed to truly cleave the heavens and earth in two.
Among the mountains, all the martial artists who witnessed this scene were dumbfounded.
That glint of sword light, that wisp of sword intent...
They never imagined that sword intent could be so pure.
Of course, this first sword strike, though extraordinary, was no challenge for Li Ming at all.
His aura suddenly surged, his sword energy formed a domain, and countless sword energies roamed within it.
Facing this heaven-slaying sword, Li Ming's expression remained unchanged.
At the same time, a sword was swung out, and the sword energy soared into the sky, as dazzling as the sun, yet as gentle as the moonlight.
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and the world lost its luster.
This wisp of sword light lacked the sharpness of the previous one, but was instead even more breathtaking, like spring flowers and autumn moon, revealing the myriad aspects of human life and all things in the universe.
"Excellent swordsmanship!"
Dugu Yijian's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the sword strike Li Ming had unleashed, and a sense of感慨 arose in his heart:
"I never expected someone so young to have such a transcendent level of understanding."
Li Ming's swordsmanship has become a unique style, enough to make him invincible in the mortal world even without the presence of a martial god.
The moment the two met, the entire world shook violently, terrifying ripples spread out, and the terrifying sword light engulfed everything.
Endless sword energy spread out; this was just the beginning.
"Sword Two, the Mountains and Rivers Will Never Die".
Dugu Yijian's voice rang out again, and in an instant, sword energy soared into the sky.
One sword strike is like a thousand swords overlapping.
In the blink of an eye, a sword mark hundreds of feet long was drawn across the sky, its sword intent seemingly eternal.
Amidst the sea of clouds, sword energy surged once more, and the wind and clouds fell silent.
It was as if a sea of sword energy had appeared in the sky.
soon.
Dugu Yijian then demonstrated his eight sword techniques to Li Ming.
All of them are top-notch, unparalleled swordsmanship.
From having feelings to having no feelings.
It must be said that Li Ming benefited greatly from this.
Dugu Yijian's unreserved sword strikes are a thousand times more powerful than giving him a secret manual.
He truly grasped the essence of what the sword saint had learned and understood throughout his life.
After Kenpachi finished his technique, Dugu Yijian watched as Li Ming absorbed all of his swordsmanship and nodded in approval.
"Next comes my sword of enlightenment, fellow Daoist, be careful."
"Sword Nine, Annihilate Heaven and Earth!"
His voice was cheerful and full of passion, as if he hadn't felt this good in a long time. Suddenly, his aura surged, and an overwhelming pressure was released.
The aura of the Sword Dao Divine Body emanated, unparalleled, as if it were about to pierce the sky.
Dugu Yijian's aura continued to grow, rising wildly, and his figure also became incredibly tall, as if he wanted to rival the heavens.
