Chapter 170 - Sword ComeIt was early in the morning and the cold wind blew into the cave. Fortunately, the temperature inside the cave was naturally higher than outside. The cold wind blew into the cave and quickly turned into a warm wind.
"Ugh!"Xiang Yun had already stood up from within the cave. He stretched lazily, letting out a long breath of foul air!
After several days of fatigue and torturous pain, as well as a night of healing from the Art of Creation, Xiang Yun had almost completely recovered. This was the first time he felt refreshed and excited!"Awesome!"
Xiang Yun forcefully shook his body, immediately releasing a series of "crackling" sounds, as if beans were being fried.
Luo He, on the other hand, was still sitting cross-legged. Her expression was dark and her aura was still weak. It seemed that the injuries on her body had not improved much.
Xiang Yun looked at the s.p.a.cious stone room he was in. Not wanting to disturb Luo He"s recovery, he walked out of the stone room.
This cave was a personal cave made by the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion. Although the interior of the cave was rather rough and the walls were pitch-black, the area it covered was very big. There were several stone rooms like the one Xiang Yun and the rest were resting in.Xiang Yun pa.s.sed through a wide pa.s.sageway. After walking forward for over a hundred feet, he arrived at a circular stone room the size of a basketball court. Presumably, it was the resting place of the Blue Eyed Red Flame Lion.
Xiang Yun walked into the stone room, his gaze sweeping the area before finally nodding his head in satisfaction.
Immediately after, he took off his tattered backpack and pulled out the long sword that exuded a light blue glow as silver arcs of electricity danced on its surface. The Wandering Dragon Sword!
After Xiang Yun drew his longsword, he threw his bag into the corner of a wall as he walked to the center of the immortal estate and stood still.
Xiang Yun grasped his sword in one hand and placed both his hands together on the other. He gently pressed it against the sword, the Wandering Dragon Sword next to its hilt.
His two fingers lightly slipped from the tip of the sword to the tip of the sword. A slightly cold and numb feeling came from the tip of his fingers.At this moment, Xiang Yun seemed to have felt a strange connection between himself and the Wandering Dragon Sword in his hands. This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
This connection was like that of a blacksmith who had experienced thousands of strikes and forged countless weapons with his iron hammer. He was like a swordsman who had charged into battle and slashed with his broadsword millions of times!
This was not due to the length of time and the number of times they had worked together. Rather, it was a combination of "skill" and "weapon".
Without mastering any techniques, it would be like playing a lute to a cow. There was no connection between the two, and the tacit understanding between them was impossible to be discussed.
And now, with the sword skill in hand, the lifeless artifact in Xiang Yun"s hand, the Wandering Dragon Sword, was instantly connected to it in a subtle way.The Wandering Dragon Sword was originally in Xiang Yun"s hands, just like a Pig Slaughtering Knife. But now, in Xiang Yun"s hands, it had finally become a sword that could transform into something miraculous!
"Hah!"
Suddenly, Xiang Yun gave a deep shout as the blue sword in his hand trembled. Holding onto the sword"s hilt, he suddenly thrust it out!
"Buzz!"
Where the sword stabbed, it was like a metal cavalry cutting an array. The momentum was extraordinary, and the Wandering Dragon Sword hummed incessantly!
However, the sword continued to tremble, and Xiang Yun slowly retracted it.
The sword turned, circling around Xiang Yun"s left arm. It flew out from his chest, piercing through the heavens!
The longsword had yet to be fixed, but it had already changed direction once more, chopping downwards at Xiang Yun"s back. The moment the sword"s tail reached his waist, Xiang Yun"s right hand loosened and the sword fell.
However, in the next moment, Xiang Yun"s body spun as he reached out with his left hand to grab the sword"s hilt. He abruptly lifted it up, and the tip of the sword shot straight towards the sky like a meteor!
The Wandering Dragon Sword was slightly raised in the air. The body of the sword trembled as if it was picking stars. In the next moment, the sword quickly fell again, like a meteorite falling to the ground!
Just as the longsword was about to hit the ground, Xiang Yun"s right hand had already accurately grasped the hilt of the sword. With one foot as the center, he spun and the sword sliced through the air in a circular arc, the sword whistling through the air!
The longsword in Xiang Yun"s hand was like a flood dragon swimming in the sea. It moved up and down between Xiang Yun"s hands, circling in all directions!
At first, the speed at which Xiang Yun brandished his longsword was not fast, it was even a little slow.
But as the longsword spun around in his hand, it was slashing, lifting up, breaking, erasing, lifting up, sweeping away!Without any warning, the two hands began a smooth and natural exchange. The speed of the Wandering Dragon Sword gradually began to change, becoming faster and faster!
At the beginning, one could even see the body of the Wandering Dragon Sword flying past Xiang Yun. Gradually, the sword"s afterimages began to appear one after another, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake!
Following that, the longsword flew out, turning into a blur of blue, dazzling and unfathomable. Even so, the speed of the Wandering Dragon Sword in Xiang Yun"s hands continued to increase rapidly!
As the speed of the Wandering Dragon Sword increased, the dust on the ground in the originally calm cave began to float and rise. Following that, tiny stones began to roll on their own.
Later on, even these stones began to float into the air like dust. As for the dust and dust, it had already turned into a surging tide that swirled around Xiang Yun"s body, whistling through the air!
"Hu hu hu hu!"
The sword in Xiang Yun"s hand was already fast to the point where he could no longer see it clearly. Even his arms had become illusory. At this moment, the sound of a strong gust of wind could be heard from within the cave!
The stone fragments within the cavern started to roll up. The smaller ones directly flew up like dust!
In the end, even those fist-sized rocks flew up while Xiang Yun"s hands and the Wandering Dragon Sword in them had completely lost their trajectory. Around the latter"s body, it was as if a sandstorm had kicked up!
Countless pieces of rubble flew in the air as strong gales raged. They constantly eroded the walls of the cave, sc.r.a.ping layers of the hard stone wall as if they were the traces of claws rubbing against it!
As for the rocks that were blown away by the violent wind, they smashed into the stone wall with a loud bang like an arrow that had left its string. They actually broke through the wall and penetrated a few feet into the wall!Peng peng peng!
Sounds of explosions continuously rang out in the cave. The surrounding walls were unable to withstand the strong gales as countless dense holes appeared in the cave. The tornado had turned the cave into a paradise of destruction!
In the center of the tornado, the instigator of all this, Xiang Yun, had already closed his eyes and was completely immersed in it!
At that moment, he felt as if he had turned into a surging gale, or rather, he felt more like he had become a G.o.d of wind, able to control the gale with destructive powers!
"Is this the power of the Gale Fast Sword!?" Xiang Yun asked himself in his heart.
The next moment!
"Go!"
Xiang Yun abruptly opened his eyes as the longsword in his hand flew out of his grasp!
The Wandering Dragon Sword moved like a gust of wind, completely disappearing into the sand and dust. It arced through the air and struck the wall of the cave in front of Xiang Yun!
"Sizzle sizzle!"
The Wandering Dragon Sword in the cave transformed into a tornado. As the sword spun around, it circled around the entire cave as fast as lightning!
"Sword, come!"
Along with Xiang Yun"s loud shout, the longsword flew like the wind. When it slid to the point where the first sword had cut into, it actually abruptly reversed, the sword hilt shooting forth and once again flying back into Xiang Yun"s hands!
The corner of Xiang Yun"s mouth lifted slightly as he watched the Wandering Dragon Sword circling the cave and leaving an invisible arc!
"Explode!"
"Bang bang bang!"In the next moment, with a series of explosions, the sword marks that were left behind by the Wandering Dragon Sword exploded simultaneously, sending dust and gravel flying in all directions!
When all the shattered stones fell to the ground and the dust dispersed, one could see the walls of the cave had turned into a ring shaped hole, several inches wide and nearly three feet deep!
"Hu!"
"The Gale Fast Sword is indeed powerful!"
After Xiang Yun let out a long breath, he sighed to himself!Ever since he had obtained this martial art, Xiang Yun had been looking forward to using it once. Today, he had finally obtained what he wanted. The power of his sword art had even shocked Xiang Yun"s heart!
The power of this sword technique had completely surpa.s.sed him. All of his current attacks were so powerful that Xiang Yun even had the impulse to fight with an expert of the Yellow Cloud Sect!
Now he was confident that if he faced an early stage Yellow Cloud martial artist, even if he couldn"t win, he would still be able to fight. If the latter was careless and wasn"t careful, Xiang Yun would be able to win!
Other than the Gale Fast Sword, there was also the help of Xiang Yun"s Heavenly Dragon zhen Qi.
The only thing that was bad about this fast sword was that the amount of cloud energy it consumed was too much.
Xiang Yun had only used it once, and had actually used up seventy percent of his cloud energy.This was all because he had the Heavenly Dragon"s true qi, which was able to channel and gather cloud energy. Otherwise, if Xiang Yun had used the Hurricane Speed Sword, the cloud energy within his spirit root would have been depleted.
However, even so, in every battle in the future, Xiang Yun would probably only be able to unleash his Gale Speed Sword once.
The power of this martial art was astonishing. Normally, it was impossible to use it. Even if he used it, he had to have absolute confidence in it. Otherwise, he would not be able to use it later!
However, with such a killing move appearing out of nowhere, Xiang Yun was somewhat excited in his heart. After all, he could be considered a swordsman by now. Even if he was not good enough in martial arts novels, he would still be considered a travelling swordsman.
Just as Xiang Yun was feeling pleased with himself, a burst of strange and concentrated sounds rang out from outside the cave, causing the earth to tremble slightly!
Xiang Yun was shocked as he thought to himself, "Could it be that the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion has returned?" He didn"t know that the two Cloud Beasts had perished together, so he was very worried about this problem!
Immediately, Xiang Yun dashed out of the cave.
He directly arrived at the entrance of the cave. From the small opening on the right side of the cave, Xiang Yun quietly sized up the surroundings. However, he saw nothing out of the ordinary about the cave entrance.
However, Xiang Yun was still worried. If the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion really did return, and he and Luo He were still in its cave abode, wouldn"t it be like a turtle in a jar?
Immediately, Xiang Yun crawled out of the small hole. Just as the latter stuck his head out, he could smell a strong stench of blood!
"Hmm?"Surprised, Xiang Yun quietly jumped out of the cave and quickly found a huge rock to hide behind. Borrowing the cover of the huge boulder, Xiang Yun subconsciously looked behind him in the direction of the mountain peak!
With a single glance, Xiang Yun was instantly stupefied. The entire mountain, the entire mountainside and above, had already collapsed and was strewn with rubble. It was a complete mess.
The thing that shocked Xiang Yun the most was naturally the huge Cloud Beast corpses on the mountain peak. Xiang Yun also recognized the two enormous bodies in the middle.
Even though the two corpses were in tatters, Xiang Yun could still recognize at a glance that they were the corpses of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion and the giant beast!
As for the three headless bodies beside them, Xiang Yun did not know!
"Why are they all dead?"
Xiang Yun was indescribably shocked in his heart. Just by looking at the broken bodies of these two super behemoths, he could tell just how desperate this fight to the death had become."Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Just as Xiang Yun was engrossed in watching this, a concentrated sound rang out from far behind him, like the sound of knives slicing flesh!
Xiang Yun subconsciously turned his head to look at the foot of the mountain. Xiang Yun"s scalp felt as though it was about to explode!
