Chapter 17: Assaulting Art: Falling Sun!
It was a figure wearing a spotless white shirt. His long hair was loose and swaying behind him in the wind. This man was extremely young. He had dashing eyebrows, defined facial features, a well-proportioned body, and was very handsome-looking. He gently raised his hand.
Crack…
The sword nailed to the Statue of Sol began vibrating and was then drawn out along with some powered stone that was smeared with blood.
Thud!
Lin Yuelun’s body slowly slipped downward, then it finally fell to the ground.
Lin Jianghong’s eyes were red, but his heart, however, was vigilant.
The distance from the edge of the dark mist to where Jianghong stood was not small, yet this person could still manipulate his sword…
An extremely terrifying Riding Sword scripture!
Despite his young age, he could not discern the man’s details. He most likely had trained in some kind of spiritual breathing technique…
However, the pain of losing his son made him unsheathe all three swords behind his back. Dancing wildly in the air, the three swords quivered, their dazzling gold shining. They were as bright as the sun rising in the sky!
“You seek death!”
He leaped forward, and in a split second, with his Riding Sword underneath his feet and Styling Sword held in his hand, Lin Jianghong charged towards Shen Changge.
Lin Jianghong’s Assaulting Sword hovered high above his head. Like the blazing sun, a metallic buzzing sound rose and a murderous aura erupted!
The corners of Shen Changge’s mouth rose slightly.
In fact, after those guys came to the Empyrean Sword Sect, he had been thinking about making a trip to the Sol Sword Sect.
This was, after all, a brand-new check-in location!
Shen Changge looked at the Sect Lord of the Sol Sword Sect. He was most likely a powerhouse at the Divine Bridge stage.
An ace of such power levels…
Do you think I will fight someone like you so recklessly?
Hmph, a fool’s paradise.
At that moment, Lin Jianghong approached with his sword. The Qi in his body was unleashed to the maximum. But all of a sudden, his eyelids twitched because he saw the disdainful smile that the young man had suddenly revealed on his face.
He snapped.
Subsequently, the Assaulting Sword behind Shen Changge buzzed and flared up!
Assaulting Art: Scarlet Lightning!
Like a surging thunderbolt, the scarlet Swordlight was imbued with rageful Sword Qi. With the blade unleashed, the sound of terrible thunder boomed in the surrounding area. A large mass of energy surged with horrifying powers contained within it!
Shen Changge attacked with his sword.
What the-?!
Assaulting Sword right off the bat?
Where is your martial virtue?
Lin Jianghong was stunned by Shen Changge’s attack. Even the pain of losing his son had not compelled him to unsheathe his Assaulting Sword right away as he was afraid that Shen Changge, which he knew nothing about, would possess unfathomable powers and best him in this game. However… judging by the attack that Shen Changge had unleashed just now, although it was powerful and the amount of Spiritual Energy it contained was terrifying, he was probably only in Early-stage Liberation!
What is it that he has?
What gave him the courage to behave like that?
Lin Jianghong shouted and unleashed Styling Art with his Styling Sword. One after another, various techniques were unleashed. The body of his sword was like an erupting star slicing through the air and constantly gaining momentum. At last, it collided with Shen Changge’s Assaulting Art!
Ka-boom!
Streams of energy collided and exploded. It was a battle between thunder and the sun. The sound of the metallic buzzing of the blades rippled in a way that unleashed unceasing power!
Fortunately, that man was only in Early-stage Liberation!
In all honesty, Shen Changge’s Assaulting Art had made Lin Jianghong feel threatened. Most certainly, it was not because of Shen Changge himself, but because of the power he was displaying right at that moment. This man was extremely young, which translated into limitless potential. His fighting power was also way above people with the same Cultivation Base. His sword manual must be of the highest grade. He had mastery over an Assaulting Art, a spiritual breathing technique…
Where exactly had this person come from?
No matter the case, they live amid the dark mist, and since he had already offended them, he must not be allowed to leave!
Lin Jianghong thought for a moment. If this person was allowed to advance into Late-stage Liberation, Jianghong would probably no longer be a match for him!
The corner of his mouth twitched. The very next moment, as he continued his Styling Art, his sword stabbed right towards Shen Changge with extreme precision!
Styling Arts were performed in continuation, overlapped, and staggered against each other. They were usually applied in confrontations to deplete the opponent’s Spirit Energy. Then the user would slowly transition into Assaulting Arts to attain the final victory. This was the more common flow of combat. Riding Arts were generally use for maneuvering or something along those lines. After all, the speed of the Riding Arts was extremely fast, it was only that it lacked in power.
Hence, after he countered the Assaulting Sword with his Styling Sword, his next attack would be able to finish off Shen Changge utilizing the gap between his attacks with his Assaulting Art!
Go to h*ll!
I will avenge my son!
His sword abruptly pierced into Shen Changge’s head!
But in the very next moment, the smile on his face disappeared before it even had the chance to fully appear. Shen Changge’s body abruptly exploded and lit up the sky!
“Extremity of Move Techniques… Vanishing!” he said while gritting his teeth.
At that moment, within the Sol Sword Sect, a figure in white clothes was strolling through the courtyard, walking leisurely inside. No one could spot any sign of the anxiousness he should have felt over being in enemy territory. To be honest, it was extremely important to master a genuinely powerful Move Technique. Taking him as an example, with Phantom Shift unleashed to its maximum, no one in the Sol Sword Sect would ever be able to catch him.
“New location bind success: Scripture Repository.”
“Check-in success +1.”
“Acquired reward: Rebirth (One out of Seven)”
Rebirth!
Shen Changge felt butterflies inside. This was a very unique technique. Previously, when he had been watching Lin Yuelun in the dark, he had appeared to be using a similar technique. However, that technique that he had used was worlds apart when compared to Rebirth!
This was a simulation-type secret technique.
According to the clues at a scene and the trajectories of the surrounding spiritual energy, the technique could restore the scene to about 70% accuracy in the user’s mind using a very unique operation method!
There was also a one out of seven completion behind this Rebirth technique. This was probably a progression bar. Should that be the case, after seven days of checking in, he would gain perfect mastery over Rebirth!
Shen Changge revealed a smile.
This Rebirth technique was very useful. It was not limited to discovering the power level of someone who had killed a person. Based on the residual Spiritual Energy that had been left behind at a location, one could even simulate what kind of demon had been active at a particular location…
At that moment, many disciples of the Sol Sword Sect were standing around, pointing at and gossiping about the white figure that was standing like a boss in front of the Scripture Repository.
“That guy seems a little unfamiliar…”
“He appeared out of nowhere earlier on and has been standing in front of the Scripture Repository ever since…”
However, at that very moment, a blazing cluster of light exploded in the sky. It was brilliant and dazzling gold, just like when the sun was rising in the sky!
“It’s the Sect Lord!” Many of the disciples’ expressions changed.
“Scoundrel! You shall not escape!” a thunderous voice called through the air!
A sword crashed down like a ray of scorching sunlight penetrating a thin piece of paper. Jianghong had unleashed his Assaulting Sword. The attack was terrifying. It was as if the sun itself was descending. Unending amounts of sunlight were emitted within a fraction of a second and left to soak down into the ground!
Ka-boom!
However, Shen Changge once again exploded into a wisp of light.
That Move Technique again!
Lin Jianghong was so pissed that he was shaking from head to toe. His aura surged, descended, and then spread throughout the entire Sol Sword Sect!
“I refuse to believe that I can’t kill you today!”
At that moment.
“New location bounded: Sol Sword Sect Assaulting Sword Pavilion.”
“Check-in Success +1.”
“Acquired reward: Sol Sword Sect Inherited Technique: Assaulting Art: Falling Sun (Complete Version)”
Shen Changge felt giddy on the inside.
Had the Sol Sword Sect been around for a very long time? I remembered that they came into the Empyrean Sword Domain during the later phases…
But they actually had an Inherited Technique.
Inherited Techniques.
Generally speaking, a sect would need to be around for at least five thousand years to call their techniques Inherited Techniques.
Falling Sun…
This should be the Assaulting Art that Lin Jianghong had unleashed just now…
The ability was probably at the Truth Return level!
“Why do I feel as though this one that I just got is even more profound than the one he unleashed?”
Shen Changge gave a strange look.
