Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 386: Chapter 382: Black Thunderbolt, Destructive Thunder

”Arrogant.”

Yun Dingtian took a step forward, his entire body enveloped in thunder, making him look like an invincible Thunder God.

”Thunderous Force!”

He gripped the Celestial Thunder Hammer and unleashed its power once more.

In that instant, countless bolts of thunder burst from the Celestial Thunder Hammer. Each bolt was as thick as a bucket, emanating fierce fluctuations powerful enough to injure an Immortal Realm expert.

Ning Jiang’s expression remained unchanged. With a shudder of his arm, the Thunder Punishment Sword stabbed out with the speed of a violent storm.

With every strike, the Thunder Punishment Sword left a long trail of Thunder Sword Aura, like a brilliant rainbow piercing the sun or a comet streaking across the moon.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The two forces clashed violently, and the sky was once again submerged in endless thunder.

”Sever.”

The next moment, all the thunder was split apart by a single sword strike. A Sword Aura hundreds of zhang wide erupted, crashing down on Yun Dingtian.

”Thunder Slaughter.”

Yun Dingtian raised the Celestial Thunder Hammer. Blazing thunder surged upon it, finally condensing into a sphere.

This sphere was formed by continuously compressing Thunder Power, condensing it into a single point.

”Go.”

He struck the Thunder Ball with his hammer. Midway through its flight, the ball began to tremble violently before suddenly exploding.

BOOM!

With a deafening boom, the Thunder Ball detonated, but it was different from when the Thunder Qilin had exploded.

When the Thunder Qilin exploded, the blast was immense, with thunder spreading in all directions and engulfing an area thousands of zhang in radius.

But when this Thunder Ball burst, its range was very small—only ten zhang.

However, this method of detonation was actually more powerful, because the explosion’s force was contained.

Unlike the Thunder Qilin’s explosion, where the Power was scattered and unfocused.

Ning Jiang’s sword strike landed within it, and the two forces annihilated each other within the ten-zhang radius, evenly matched.

”Hundredfold Thunder Slaughter!”

Yun Dingtian roared furiously. The next moment, he launched a full hundred Thunder Balls in one breath. The balls flew toward Ning Jiang and detonated in unison.

In that instant, the blazing light was so intense that no one could keep their eyes open.

And with a hundred Thunder Balls exploding at once, Ning Jiang’s figure was completely swallowed by the blast.

”Break.”

Ning Jiang flicked his Thunder Punishment Sword, his body moving with it, transforming into a sharp streak of Sword Qi that shot toward the sky.

With the sharpness of the Thunder Punishment Sword, combined with his Sword Intent, he easily broke through the Hundredfold Thunder Slaughter.

”Five Thunders Bombarding the Top!”

Yun Dingtian wasn’t surprised. He knew the chances of the Hundredfold Thunder Slaughter injuring Ning Jiang were too low. This was his true killing move.

He threw the Celestial Thunder Hammer, and it hung high in the vast sky.

Five bolts of thunder fell from it, each taking one of five positions, faintly forming a kind of Array.

”Oh? Forming an Array with a single hammer. Not bad.”

Ning Jiang’s eyes narrowed. The auras of the five thunderbolts were connected. Destroying any single one would be useless; on the contrary, the thunder would just regenerate endlessly.

”Seven Kills Sword Array.”

Immediately, he activated a Sword Technique, splitting seven streaks of Sword Qi from his Thunder Punishment Sword that shot out, parting the very air.

Instantly, the Five Thunders Bombarding the Top was shattered.

”This kid is really something else, to be able to fight the Young Sect Leader to this extent!”

An Elder from the Extreme Heaven Sect exclaimed in amazement, his gaze fixed solemnly on Ning Jiang.

These Elders of the Extreme Heaven Sect knew Yun Dingtian’s strength better than anyone. Among the younger generation of Liang Province, there wasn’t a single person who could even force Yun Dingtian to use half his strength.

With the power of his Thunder Spirit Body, Yun Dingtian was strong enough to contend with the top five prodigies from the Super Sects.

But now, anyone could see that Yun Dingtian was caught in a bitter struggle. All of his various attacks were useless against Ning Jiang.

From start to finish, Ning Jiang had maintained the upper hand.

”Are Sword Cultivators who’ve comprehended Sword Intent all this terrifying?”

Someone asked doubtfully, ”Even if Ning Jiang has comprehended Sword Intent, Yun Dingtian has a Thunder Spirit Body. He shouldn’t be at a disadvantage, right?”

”Sword Intent is indeed formidable, but it’s not enough to suppress a Thunder Spirit Body on its own. All we can say is that he, as an individual, is just too strong!” a Sword Cultivator said, shaking his head.

The reasoning was simple. There’s a limit to how strong Sword Intent can be. The one who was truly strong was Ning Jiang himself!

Any other Sword Cultivator with Sword Intent wouldn’t necessarily be a match for Yun Dingtian.

”Elders, should we intervene? If the Young Sect Leader is defeated, it won’t be a good thing for our Extreme Heaven Sect,” an Earth Martial Realm Elder said, a sharp glint in his eyes.

Although Ning Jiang was the Master of Myriad Swords Sect, he was nothing in their eyes. With the might of the Extreme Heaven Sect, they had no need to care about the Myriad Swords Sect at all.

”There’s no need. Don’t forget, the Young Sect Leader still hasn’t used *that* move. With its power, even an Earth Martial Realm expert would be at risk of injury,” an Elder said, shaking his head.

”True, I had forgotten about that.” The previous Elder nodded. ”Once the Young Sect Leader unleashes that move, this man’s defeat is certain.”

”Why is he so strong!”

Ye Ying stared at Ning Jiang with hatred in his eyes. When Ning Jiang had injured him in their earlier clash of Divine Sense, he could still console himself by saying he had been careless.

But now, the strength Ning Jiang was displaying filled him with a sense of insurmountable despair.

”Yun Dingtian, the power of a Thunder Spirit Body can’t be this meager. Show me everything you’ve got.”

Ning Jiang stood proudly in the sky. His sharp Sword Intent spread ceaselessly, making the very air feel incredibly sharp. Wisps of visible Sword Qi began to drift from his body.

Gradually, thousands upon thousands of streaks of Sword Qi appeared behind him.

Each strand of Sword Qi was three chi and six cun long, shimmering brilliantly.

Then, he raised the Thunder Punishment Sword in his hand.

In an instant, as if drawn by a powerful force, all the Sword Qi surged wildly toward the Thunder Punishment Sword.

Immediately, the aura of the Thunder Punishment Sword began to climb, growing ever stronger and sharper.

RRRIP.

The clouds in the sky were directly torn asunder by this Sword Momentum, splitting open a fissure hundreds of zhang long.

Facing this sword’s might, the countless Martial Artists present gasped, their hearts pounding in terror.

”This must be the decisive blow, right?” the crowd exclaimed, shocked that Ning Jiang had been hiding such a trump card.

At this moment, Yun Dingtian’s expression also became incredibly grave.

”Ning Jiang, you guessed right. I do indeed have a stronger technique. Among the younger generation, you are the first person to force me to use this move.”

Yun Dingtian’s voice was immense, like rolling thunder.

Bolts of lightning flickered in his eyes, blazing with extreme intensity. To meet his gaze was to risk being injured by its sharpness.

”You can die proud for having witnessed this move!”

He took a step, ascending into the sky as a completely new kind of thunder erupted from every pore of his body!

This thunder was as black as ink, a seeming symbol of destruction and ruin.

In that instant, even the Earth Martial Realm experts felt a sense of suppression, the hairs on their bodies standing on end.

As for those below the Earth Martial Realm, they felt an even more primal fear.

”Destructive Thunder, kill!”

With a thunderous roar, the black thunder shot forth.
