Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Edgeless Sword Body_1

In the center of the battle ring.

Jian Wuji and Lan Yu’er were only five or six meters apart; both could feel each other’s breath.

Jian Wuji was as composed as if basking in a spring breeze.

However, Lan Yu’er felt as though she was standing beneath a sharp longsword, her whole body uncomfortable.

Yet, having often sparred privately with Ling Xiao, she quickly adapted to the intense threat Jian Wuji’s presence posed.

The hint of panic in her eyes also swiftly vanished.

Seeing this, Jian Wuji was momentarily taken aback. Many people faced with his intense aura would concede without a fight, but Lan Yu’er didn’t even seem scared—it appeared she was no ordinary person.

”Brother Jian, your aura is indeed formidable, but I’ve seen stronger sword qi, so that won’t work on me. Let’s see the truth in our movements!”

Lan Yu’er smiled lightly.

She believed if she hadn’t frequently practiced with Ling Xiao, facing Jian Wuji now would surely have crushed her, possibly leading to her defeat without a fight.

But now, even though she knew victory was impossible, she didn’t feel the slightest fear.

Her body started to emanate a pale blue glow, as beautiful and enchanting as moonlight.

”Moonlight Sacred Scripture! How did she cultivate the Moonlight Sacred Scripture?”

Chang Yueli looked at Lan Yu’er in shock, unable to accept it.

She was Lan Yu’er’s master, yet she had no idea Lan Yu’er had cultivated the treasured Moon Radiance Holy Scripture of the Moon Hua Sect.

”Regarding this matter, I need to explain. Sister Lan took the Moon Lady as her master, and the ’Moon Radiance Holy Scripture’ was imparted to her by Sister Moon.”

Ling Xiao explained with a smile.

In fact, he was the first to come across the ’Moon Radiance Holy Scripture.’ However, this divine book was clearly more suitable for women to cultivate, so he did not touch it.

”Moon Lady!”

Chang Yueli bit her lip and fell silent.

The fact that Lan Yu’er had drifted away from her was actually to be expected; after all, she had been too harsh on Lan Yu’er. That Lan Yu’er did not abandon her as a master was already giving her considerable face.

Meanwhile, the situation in the arena had changed.

Lan Yu’er’s entire body was bathed in moonlight, with a vague silhouette of the Moon Blossom Fairy appearing behind her.

It was clear that among the many disciples, Lan Yu’er had been chosen as the fortunate one to inherit the teachings of the Moon Blossom Fairy.

Of course, Dai Yuling’s inheritance of the Ancient Gourd Vine Martial Spirit was in no way inferior to that of the Moon Blossom Fairy, which was perhaps one of the reasons why the Moon Blossom Fairy ultimately chose Lan Yu’er.

After all, among the multitude of disciples, Lan Yu’er was quite outstanding in terms of gender, aptitude, quality, and connections.

Moon Shadow Slash!

Inside the Sword Pavilion, it was as if everything had plunged into darkness for a moment. Lan Yu’er’s figure vanished from where she stood as her sickle-like crescent moon swiftly passed through Jian Wuji’s form.

The move was quite simple.

Just an ordinary true essence blade.

But when combined with the legacy of the ’Moon Radiance Holy Scripture,’ the attack was faster, more powerful, and more mysterious.

In that instant, Chen Meng even cried out in alarm because, to her, Jian Wuji seemed to have been easily sliced in two by that sickle-like crescent moon.

However, after her cry of shock, Chen Meng realized that Jian Wuji hadn’t moved at all.

He had been standing there the whole time.

The Moon Shadow Slash had indeed passed through his body, but it was the slash that had been split in two, not him.

That’s right, it was the Moon Shadow Slash that shattered, not his body!

”Edgeless Sword Body!”

Upon closer inspection, Jian Wuji’s body surface, including his clothes, was emitting a peculiar metallic sheen.

It was like a blade itself.

However, this blade had no edge.

Heavy Sword without Edge—the edgeless blade could still sever whatever it sought to cut.

”Terrifying Edgeless Sword Body! Jian Wuji has cultivated the Sword King Sacred Scripture to such an extent!”

Originally, there were still people who did not believe that Jian Wuji had cultivated the Sword King Sacred Code, but after seeing this scene, even the skeptics had to believe.

Because the Edgeless Sword Body is the defense technique par excellence within the Sword King Sacred Code!

”Incredible, the Edgeless Sword Body harmonizes defense and attack seamlessly, who could possibly defeat him?”

The Sword King Sacred Code, the Moon Radiance Holy Scripture, the Beast King Sacred Scripture, and other similar martial arts systems are actually a complete set of martial arts systems passed down by the founders of their respective sects.

They encompass defense, martial skills, body movement techniques, and so on.

You could call them inheritances, or you could call them martial arts; in reality, it’s all the same because inheritance and martial arts are naturally inclusive of one another.

They contain parts of me as I contain parts of them!

”Indeed, this Sword King Sacred Code is exceptional, what a great thing to play with someday.”

Ling Xiao’s approach is simply different from others.

While others were completely overawed by Jian Wuji’s superb martial arts, his first thought was to snatch it for himself.

Moreover, his desire to ’play’ with it rather than sincerely cultivate it shows his lack of serious intent.

This guy has really seen too many good things; such a classic piece of martial arts doesn’t even excite his interest.

However, even with a playful mindset, Ling Xiao managed to glean some insights from Jian Wuji’s mystic art of metal.

Mystic arts are deeply profound; each is worth a martial artist’s lifetime of exploration.

Gleaning some insights from another’s mystic art is surely a tremendous gain.

Lan Yu’er’s strike, the Moon Shadow Slash, was just the tip of the iceberg she understood from the Moon Radiance Holy Scripture.

It’s just a pity that she had only just begun; otherwise, if she had fully mastered the Moon Radiance Holy Scripture, she might not necessarily lose to Jian Wuji.

”I’ve lost!”

Lan Yu’er did not continue.

The Moon Shadow Slash was her strongest move to date, be it in power or speed, and even in its unique striking feature, it was the most formidable.

Since this move couldn’t even scratch Jian Wuji, there was no point in continuing the fight.

Too strong!

Shocking!

It was a complete shock!

Though Ling Xiao had defeated the Tyrant Sky Tiger, it had taken a considerable amount of time and effort, yet Jian Wuji hadn’t even moved and Lan Yu’er had already conceded.

This was the strength of Jian Wuji, one of the Six Young Masters!

Chen Meng’s eyes shone with an infatuated look.

She had always had a secret affection for Jian Wuji, and now her love intensified to the point of madness.

Chen Nanxing nodded in satisfaction. Jian Wuji was his adopted son and having such an outstanding adoptee made the loss of his own son less painful.

On the other hand, both the Beast King Palace and Moon Hua Sect fell into silence once again.

With Jian Wuji’s performance, it was clear that the Tyrant Sky Tiger stood no chance; any further fight would merely be for the sake of exchange.

Defeating Ling Xiao seemed just as unlikely!

That was everyone’s thought.

The Tyrant Sky Tiger leaped into the arena.

”Jian Wuji, I know I will lose, but I still want to test your depth,” he said and immediately entered his Man-Tiger Form.

He was well aware of Jian Wuji’s fearsomeness, understanding that if he fought in his human form, defeat was certain.

Tyrant Sky Nine Forms - Roaring Tiger of the Deep Mountains!

With his first attack, the Tyrant Sky Tiger unleashed his strongest blow, resembling a ferocious tiger tearing into its prey, causing the Sword Pavilion to tremble, buildings to sway, and the air itself to rupture continuously.

”The second form?”

A smile crept across Ling Xiao’s face.

He hadn’t expected that after their battle, the Tyrant Sky Tiger had further advanced in his fusion technique.
