The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Top-grade Martial Arts Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Top-grade Martial Arts “Jing Tianlong was employing the Upper Grade Martial Arts ‘Purgatory Sword Technique’!

Among Upper Grade Martial Arts, it’s famous for its overwhelming power!

From the Sword Light formed by Jing Tianlong’s use of this technique, it seems his mastery could have reached one hundred percent!”

“Being a Half-step Innate Realm Martial Artist, Jing Yan used a Mid-grade Martial Arts ‘Condensed Moon Three Waves’ to directly charge into the ‘Purgatory Sword Technique’s Sword Light, it appears he’s throwing all caution to the wind!”

On the high platform, among all the distinguished guests present, Lin Family Patriarch Lin Nanluo had to be the highest in both cultivation and status.

At this moment, he was squinting his eyes, enjoying explaining to the others.

Though he didn’t say it explicitly, his tone clearly showed he was pessimistic about Jing Yan’s chance, presumably thinking Jing Yan couldn’t even withstand this one strike.

Within the scarlet light, the Sword Screen formed by Jing Yan’s ‘Condensed Moon Three Waves’ seemed like a tiny boat in an angry sea compared to Jing Tianlong’s massive ten-meter-long red Sword Light, and appeared in constant danger of capsizing.

Many who cared for Jing Yan, like Fourth Elder Jing Tianying and Jing Ziqi, were secretly sweating bullets.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the seemingly inconsequential Sword Screen of ‘Condensed Moon Three Waves’ didn’t get torn into pieces within the red light, but instead managed to rip through the red Sword Light.

Jing Yan’s figure was fluctuating high and low, seemingly without any pattern, and yet the imposing red Sword Light could not seriously injure him.

What was happening?

In truth, except for Jing Yan himself, probably no one present could discern the key to this enigma.

Jing Tianlong’s Purgatory Sword Technique, though powerful and terrifying in its formed Sword Light, had its flaws.

Jing Yan was able to survive within the red Sword Light not because he was simple lucky but because he exploited these flaws in the Sword Technique, identifying weak points and using ‘Condensed Moon Three Waves’ to locally shatter it.

Bit by bit, he eventually was able to resist and neutralize the opposing assault.

Dozens of breaths later, the red Sword Light vanished, and Jing Yan remained unscathed and standing there.

“Lin Clan Leader, didn’t you say Jing Yan was making a desperate all-in move?” Jing Tianying, with a smile, looked towards the somewhat embarrassed Lin Nanluo.

“Hmph, perhaps it was just Jing Yan’s good luck,” Lin Nanluo’s face struggled to hide his discontent.

Hearing his response to Jing Tianying, laughter immediately broke out around them.

Yet, most people on the high platform were pondering how Jing Yan managed to achieve this.

“Jing Tianlong, you’re no big deal after all!” Jing Yan said with a slight smile, looking at Jing Tianlong.

Despite Jing Tianlong’s Innate Realm cultivation and terrifying Primordial Energy, Jing Yan chose a smart approach to largely avoid a head-on conflict.

“Damn it!” Jing Tianlong gritted his teeth harshly upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, “You just got lucky!”

“I don’t believe you can withstand this one!” Jing Tianlong’s aura condensed, and his Primordial Energy surged once again.

“Swish!” His red Longsword, leaving behind an afterimage, stabbed towards Jing Yan with extreme speed.

His Longsword was also a top-quality weapon, a grade higher than the Flowing Light Sword used by Jing Yan.

In terms of weaponry, Jing Yan was at a disadvantage.

Around the body of the red Longsword, suddenly, numerous small sword shadows appeared.

Each one only the size of a palm, but their quantity was enormous, creating a large cluster.

At this moment, Lin Nanluo spoke again.

“Goodness, worthy of being from Red Lotus Academy, Jing Tianlong has even mastered the ‘Ten Thousand Dragon Sword Technique,’ which is Top-grade Martial Arts, terrifyingly formidable, incomparable to the Purgatory Sword Technique.” Even Lin Nanluo’s voice trembled slightly.

The Martial Artists of the Innate Realm on the high platform didn’t need Lin Nanluo to remind them of the significance of Top-grade Martial Arts.

Even within the several families of Donglin City, not many kinds of Top-grade Martial Arts could be found.

Any family acquiring Top-grade Martial Arts would treat it as a Supreme Treasure of the clan, generally only allowed for the Patriarch or exceptional family members to practice.

Of course, not everyone was capable of mastering it—it required extremely high martial talent.

“This time, Jing Yan is in big trouble, the power of this Top-grade Martial Arts is not easy to evade.

I dare say, Jing Yan is bound to fail.

Nevertheless, losing to an Innate Strong Person wielding Top-grade Martial Arts, with his Half-step Innate Realm cultivation, his loss would still be honorable,” Lin Nanluo said with utmost confidence.

When Jing Yan and Jing Tianlong first clashed, Lin Nanluo didn’t outright say Jing Yan would lose to Jing Tianlong.

However, this time, he confidently declared Jing Yan would be defeated.

Naturally, most on the high platform agreed with Lin Nanluo’s view.

If Jing Yan could withstand Jing Tianlong’s Top-grade Martial Arts ‘Ten Thousand Dragon Sword Technique,’ then that would truly be abnormal.

Even Jing Tianying felt that Jing Yan might lose, only hoping that Jing Yan wouldn’t suffer too severe an injury.

At this moment, Jing Yan’s expression was grave.

He was of course most aware of how terrifying Jing Tianlong’s attack was, and he knew Jing Tianlong had employed Top-grade Martial Arts; after all, he had once stepped into the Innate Realm himself.

Jing Tianlong actually had the opportunity to practice Top-grade Martial Arts!

Jing Yan had also been of the Innate Realm before and had entered Divine Wind Academy, but because his time at the academy was too short, he had never had the opportunity to practice Top-grade Martial Arts.

“Bring it on!” Jing Yan shouted loudly.

“Jing Tianlong, do you think you can defeat me like this?” Jing Yan shouted, quickly uttering another phrase.

“Moon Cutting Sword Technique!”

Thereupon, Jing Yan finally used the Upper Grade Martial Arts, Moon Cutting Sword Technique.

This was also his first time using the repaired Moon Cutting Sword Technique.

“Ha ha, the Moon Cutting Sword Technique, Jing Yan is using the Moon Cutting Sword Technique!

It’s an Upper Grade Martial Arts, quite powerful!

However, to think he can counter an Innate Strong Person’s Top-grade Martial Arts with the Moon Cutting Sword Technique, is quite arrogant!” Lin Nanluo commented promptly.

“Boom!”

“Thump thump thump!”

In an instant, the two Martial Arts collided.

Two Sword Lights brutally crushed against each other.

The Moon Cutting Sword Technique, when executed, took the shape of a crescent moon.

Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Dragon Sword Technique formed thousands of red sword shadows.

Martial Arts clashed, space vibrated.

The overflowing Primordial Energy stirred up a terrifying energy vortex, surging towards the surroundings.

Even some vortexes nearly reached the edges of the plaza before gradually dissipating.

“What?”

“This is impossible!” Jing Tianlong’s calm expression showed a hint of astonishment.

Under normal circumstances, his Ten Thousand Dragon Sword Technique should have crushed Jing Yan’s Moon Cutting Sword Technique with overwhelming force.

But now, the two Martial Arts were actually at a standstill.
