Feeling this, Bai Wansheng quickly turned his head to look in the southwest direction.
Almost the instant his gaze shifted, Bai Wansheng saw a dazzling sword shadow piercing through the cloudless sky to the southwest.
The moment his gaze fell upon that sword shadow, a shiver ran through Bai Wansheng's heart.
If Bai Wansheng felt this way, then the others on Wudang Mountain must have felt the same way.
Even though only a trace of the aura that had dissipated onto Wudang Mountain was present, it still caused a tremor among everyone outside the Zhenwu Hall and on the martial arts training ground. Their blood seemed to freeze instantly.
It felt as if someone had placed a sharp, cold sword against his throat, and the next second, a flash of cold light would pierce through his throat.
This near-death experience, like stepping halfway into the gates of hell, caused even Zhang Sanfeng and Meng Chixing's faces to swell.
In mid-air, after a moment of surprise, Bai Wansheng realized something was wrong and immediately tried to dodge.
But the moment this thought crossed his mind, Bai Wansheng found that his body seemed to be locked in place.
Bai Wansheng even had a feeling that no matter how he dodged or continued to attack Yaoyue, the dazzling sword shadow in the air would pass right through his body in the next moment.
"We have no choice but to take it head-on."
As this thought arose, the instinct for survival even made Bai Wansheng stop his attack on Yaoyue. With a light shout, all the true essence, spiritual energy, and power of heaven and earth in his body were frantically mobilized and poured into the longsword through his sword-wielding hand.
The powerful true energy and the changing forces of heaven and earth caused a howling wind to sweep across the entire Wudang Mountain.
Even the powerful fluctuations emanating from Bai Wansheng's body forced Yaoyue back several feet.
Then, a giant sword shadow nearly thirty feet long soared into the sky and crashed into the sword shadow in the distance.
Only then did everyone realize that the sword shadow in the distance was only three feet long, about the same length as an ordinary longsword.
However, as the sword light and shadow clashed, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from within the sword shadow, which appeared to be only three feet long.
The golden light seemed to illuminate the entire world, causing everyone to squint in response to the dazzling brilliance and discomfort it caused to their eyes.
As the three-foot sword shadow shone with golden light, it was like a peerless sword that utterly destroyed the thirty-foot-long giant sword shadow that Bai Wansheng had condensed, rushing to Bai Wansheng's front in an instant and cutting through the protective aura around him, passing through Bai Wansheng's left wrist.
As a small hole appeared in Bai Wansheng's left wrist, excruciating pain instantly surged up to his brain.
"How is that possible?"
Seeing his wrist bleeding profusely, Bai Wansheng's eyes narrowed sharply.
He was not only surprised that the power of this sword shadow was enough to easily destroy his full-force sword strike, but also surprised by the location of the injury on his wrist.
The direction and angle of this sword attack were enough to show that the opponent had already anticipated his reaction.
However, the pain in his wrist prevented Bai Wansheng from dwelling on the shock for long. Instead, he quickly mobilized his internal energy to repair the injury on his wrist.
However, as Bai Wansheng's blood and qi gathered at his wrist, he was surprised to find that his wound was surrounded by a cold and violent sword intent.
Under the influence of this sword intent, Bai Wansheng's own blood and qi were shattered the moment he approached the wound.
Furthermore, Bai Wansheng had also sensed this sword intent aura from Yaoyue.
"The Void Breaking Realm martial artist behind him?"
In an instant, Bai Wansheng confirmed the other party's identity by the aura of sword intent on his wrist.
He then used the same sword intent and true essence within his body to forcefully dispel the sword intent that had invaded his body along with the previous sword strike.
Almost the instant the sword intent was expelled from Bai Wansheng's body and the bleeding from the wound was stopped, Bai Wansheng moved.
He appeared behind Yaoyue in an instant, as if by teleportation.
Bai Wansheng wasn't stupid. Judging from the power of the sword strike the opponent had just unleashed, Bai Wansheng could tell that the opponent's strength far surpassed his own.
Rather than standing still and letting that unknown enemy appear, it's better to capture Yaoyue now. That way, if any problems arise later, it will deter the enemy from making any rash moves.
"Buzzing"
However, just as Bai Wansheng had flashed behind Yaoyue and raised his long sword to swing at her, the sound of swords clashing suddenly appeared on the top of the entire Wudang Mountain.
The next moment, a sword shadow materialized out of thin air and rose between Yaoyue and Bai Wansheng, blocking the point where Bai Wansheng's sword tip was pointing.
When Bai Wansheng's sword touched one of the sword shadows, it not only failed to cut the sword shadow, but also knocked the longsword out of Bai Wansheng's hand.
If Bai Wansheng hadn't reacted quickly, the force of the recoil might have even caused him to drop his sword.
However, just as Bai Wansheng exerted his strength to firmly grip the sword hilt, to his astonishment, one sword shadow after another appeared out of thin air and then soared upwards into the sky.
Hundreds and thousands of translucent sword shadows formed a waterfall of sword shadows, separating Bai Wansheng and Yaoyue.
What terrified Bai Wansheng was that the aura contained within each of these sword shadows filled him with dread the moment he looked at them.
