After Favorability Is Maxed

Cen Shanzi’s face was distorted with shock. It was the movement technique, So Close Yet Worlds Apart. It was definitely So Close Yet Worlds Apart!

As a senior disciple, he was also qualified to practice this movement technique, but it was almost the top of the movement techniques, the most mysterious one. Besides the power of space, only Close Yet Worlds Apart could cross a distance of more than a hundred miles instantly, which was equivalent to teleportation.

It was said that if one cultivated Close Yet Worlds Apart to its peak, one would be able to come into contact with the spatial power before the Crossing Calamity stage. However, only a few of the successive disciples of the Taiqing Pavilion had reached this height.

Cen Shanzi’s talent was average, and he had only come into contact with this movement technique briefly. He had not been able to comprehend any profoundness of the spatial power from it, but it was enough for him to recognize this movement technique.

Jiang Po was the person with the highest status and cultivation level among the people present other than Ling Hua. His words were highly reliable, and Ji Yushu’s reputation was also quite great. The moment these two people spoke, they had basically confirmed it.

From Cen Shanzi’s expression, the others knew that this was the truth.

At this moment, the first thought that came to their minds was that the Green Lotus Swordsman of the Taiqing Pavilion had secretly imparted his sect’s legacy-level cultivation technique to Liu Yuan.

It was impossible for the Baishan Court to have any other sect’s legacy-level techniques.

Therefore, there was only one possibility. The Green Lotus Swordsman and Liu Yuan had a secret relationship, and the reason was naturally love.

However, not to mention Liu Yuan using it without any restraint, could a figure like the Green Lotus Swordsman really do such a thing?

Everyone could not help but be confused and hesitant.

But Cen Shanzi was not. From the beginning, he had been hit by the double blow of Ling Hua, whom he admired, and Chen Sifan, who he had admired since he was a child. He had buried his hatred for Liu Yuan in his heart. At this moment, the thought of the upright and proud Green Lotus Swordsman disregarding the sect rules for Liu Yuan came to his mind, and his heart burned with anger. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, his chest rising and falling violently.

In his heart, Shen Sifan naturally would not do such a thing of her own free will, so it must have been Liu Yuan. He used the feelings of the Green Lotus Swordsman to threaten and force her to get this movement technique. Then, Shen Sifan had to bear the responsibility for this mistake.

Despicable! How despicable!

Cen Shanzi’s eyes were burning with anger, and there was a hidden excitement in his heart. So what if this despicable man had great talent in cultivation? So what if he was the junior Brother of the Grand Elder of Sky Treasure Pavilion? Daoist Priest Ling Hua was so cold and noble, how could she treat him differently?

He must expose him!

Cen Shanzi was still gritting his teeth, but there was a noisy exclamation from the side.

It turned out to be the Sword Light that had accompanied Liu Yuan’s figure as he broke through the smoke and dust. In a flash, Liu Yuan had already leaped up along the arm of the Palace Spirit. With a loud bang, the mottled arm that had long fallen off was split into two and collapsed.

Swish!

Liu Yuan did not know what these people were talking about. He was fully focused. Once again, he experienced the Sword Intent that he had previously comprehended in actual combat.

It was a butcher dismembering an ox, it was Dao!

Liu Yuan only cut the connection points of the entire arm, not the main components. After that, as long as Hong Luan pieced these parts together, they could be used again.

The Palace Spirit did not feel pain, and Liu Yuan’s sword did not stop its movements. However, the puppet’s combat power was greatly reduced after losing an arm. Its balance was also broken, and its entire body began to tilt to one side.

Rumble!

The reaction of the Palace Spirit was not slow either. It took a step back to stabilize its body, and at the same time, another punch landed.

This time, the golden lotus pattern on its fist cracked open and spiritual energy surged. This punch was actually a martial technique!

However, the puppet’s movements slowed down, which showed how much spiritual power it had consumed.

Liu Yuan guessed that this martial technique was probably a template of the Martial Emperor’s own skill, so he decisively gave up on the plan of a frontal attack. Liu Yuan was now in a mysterious state, and he could analyze his opponent’s actions very deeply and see a lot.

He quickly saw through the puppet’s movements and once again used Wolds Apart to circle around to the puppet’s back.

Just as Liu Yuan was about to land on the back of the Palace Spirit’s head or neck to pull out the Wood Essence Pearl, he was stunned in mid-air. “This is…?”

He had never seen the back of the Palace Spirit before. At this time, he was still in the air and could see very clearly that the base of the eight wings and the middle of the pieced together were full of uneven cracks. After all, the white jade Palace had been in disrepair for a long time, so this was normal.

However, Liu Yuan clearly felt a pattern in the splitting and rejoining.

It was a central axis that ran through the entire Palace Spirit!

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Liu Yuan’s mind, and a feeling of restlessness sprouted in an instant.

Well then… He should use a big attack.

As soon as this thought appeared, it grew wildly in Liu Yuan’s mind. He had already raised the sword in his hand and closed his eyes. He recalled the scene on the city wall of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, when the White Dragon River’s tide had rushed towards him, and that fair hand had been placed on the back of his hand.

On the other side, Xiahou Cenyi’s heart skipped a beat, and a gentle and gratified smile appeared on her beautiful face.

It was as if the student he had taught had finally achieved something.

Buzz…

At first, it was the soft sound of a sword. The Immortal cultivators from the various sects who were discussing so close yet worlds apart were all stunned.

“T-this… Could it be…”

Some people thought of the sword in the rumors.

This was the real reason why Jiang Feng’s name had spread so widely.

They hurriedly looked at the Palace Spirit, who was still in an attacking posture and was about to stand up, but they did not see the figure that should be there. Just as they were puzzled–

A lightning-like sword light pierced through heaven and earth.

Before anyone could react, the palace spirit froze. With a ‘ka’ sound, a crack appeared from the center of the broken head’s eyebrows.

Rumble… Boom!

The tall and majestic palace spirit collapsed with a loud bang, revealing Liu Yuan who was standing in the air. The sword in his hand was lowered casually, as if it was forming a sword trajectory from top to bottom.

Then, the sound of a sword rang out.

At this point.

It was as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water.

The surroundings were completely silent. The people from the various sects had not expected to see the legendary sword strike here.

And its power was even more terrifying than the rumors!

The strike on the city wall of the City of Ten Thousand Swords could only be said to have split the White Dragon River tide, but it was impossible to estimate exactly how powerful this strike was.

But now, it was possible.

The Palace Spirit, a puppet at the Void Refinement stage, was split in half by this sword!

“That’s… The Sound of the Angry Tide of Jiang Sea?” someone asked cautiously.

“Gulp… I-I think it should be…” Someone swallowed and answered carefully.

This sword move’s was even given an elegant name in the Green Centipede’s Singing Sword Ranking. It was called ‘The Sound of the Angry Tide of Jiang Sea’.
