He didn"t know how the Hidden Sect was related to his Pig Slaying Sword Art.

Seeing Dugu Fengwu"s complicated expression, Yang Dingtian shook his hand and said, “Don"t ask me, I do not know why either.”

Dugu Fengwu said, “I will not ask you. I just thought if I should kill you now.”

Yang Dingtian instantly felt a chill on his neck as this demon woman was serious, and she would do what she mentioned.

Afterward, Dugu Fengwu just stared at Yang Dingtian with her gorgeous eyes. Her expression constantly changed, turning cold for a moment before turning warm, turning resolute before hesitating.

Yang Dingtian knew that he was currently pacing around the edge of h.e.l.l. He hated this feeling, but he had no choice.

Finally, Dugu Fengwu took a deep breath and said, “I should kill you because you might become the ultimate enemy for my Evil Dao in the future.”

Yang Dingtian didn"t beg for mercy and just stared at Dugu Fengwu with cold eyes.

“But you cannot die now. Even if I want to kill you, I have to wait until I get my hands on the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer.” Dugu Fengwu then said, “I will kill you after you hand over the Fire Chilling Pearl.”

Yang Dingtian knew that Dugu Fengwu wouldn"t kill him.

Yang Dingtian took a profound look at Dugu Fengwu and spoke in an indifferent voice, “Dugu Fengwu, I will remember this moment. Now, start teaching me the second move of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword.”

Dugu Fengwu took a profound look at Yang Dingtian as well and replied, “I will remember your words too.”

Immediately after, she took over the sharp sword from Yang Dingtian"s hand.

“Now, I will execute the second move of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, Soul Departing Mirror. I will use my mystic qi to simulate the effects.”

Just as she finished talking, Dugu Fengwu instantly vanished from Yang Dingtian"s eyes.

In the blink of the eye, she turned into an afterimage and appeared several meters away.

The sword in her hand instantly appeared and vanished, turned into a warping arc of light.

The body refracted and the sword light refracted.

Bending, warping, s.h.i.+fting, switching.

Dugu Fengwu"s body and her sword would appear and vanish all of a sudden.

It was truly as though a Soul Departing Mirror!

In an instant, her figure covered across a thousand meters. Her afterimage was left on the lake, in the air, in the bamboo forest, and on the giant boulders by the side.

Finally, there was a dazzling light accompanied by a tempting fragrance, as Dugu Fengwu suddenly appeared in front of Yang Dingtian.

After sheathing the sword, the second move of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, Soul Departing Mirror had been completed.

“Snap…” Suddenly, all the afterimages that Dugu Fengwu left behind had shattered.

The lake ruptured, the giant boulder ruptured, the bamboo forest ruptured, the surface of the ground ruptured.

In short, everywhere her afterimage was had all ruptured. It was like a beautiful painting that was quickly slashed into pieces.

Yang Dingtian felt the stifling sensation again, as he didn"t know if it was Dugu Fengwu, who was too powerful or the Hidden Sect"s sword art, which was too powerful.

“Next, I will demonstrate it again, but with slow motions and I will not use mystic qi to create the effects. It is simply the Soul Departing Mirror"s appearance and form,” Dugu Fengwu stated.

Immediately after, Dugu Fengwu demonstrated again.

After losing away the effects from the mystic qi, the superficial Soul Departing Mirror wasn"t as breathtaking anymore. It lacked that extremely impactful visual effect.

But, Dugu Fengwu"s devilish curves and her magnificent figure was much more prominent.

After circling over a thousand meters, Dugu Fengwu flew back and sheathed the sword. She asked, “Did you see it clearly?”

Yang Dingtian nodded and said, “I have seen it clearly, but this move is much harder compared to River Tears. I will not be able to learn it with just a single try.”

“I didn"t ask you to learn it in a single try.” Dugu Fengwu said, “In fact, you already have enough to intimidate the people at Divine Weapons Manor now, and one more is sufficient. So, for the next three hours, just learn whatever you can.”

Finis.h.i.+ng her statement, Dugu Fengwu mocked coldly and said, “A disciple learning the sword from a master. The master is teaching the fake sword art, but the disciple learned the real sword art. I don"t think anyone has heard of such a thing for thousands of years.”

Yang Dingtian laughed speechlessly as well. He then took over the sword from Dugu Fengwu and started to practice the second move of Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, Soul Departing Mirror.

It was indeed very difficult!

For the first form, Yang Dingtian did it exactly the same, but there was no reaction from the qi vessel.

For the second form, Yang Dingtian did it exactly the same as well, but there was still no reaction from the qi vessel.

For the third form, Yang Dingtian was unable to do it as Dugu Fengu did it too fast and had refracted too far away. Yang Dingtian couldn"t grasp the trajectory and the route.

Sheathing the sword, Yang Dingtian came back and said, “Can I trouble you to demonstrate it again.”

Dugu Fengwu took over the sword and didn"t say anything as she immediately demonstrated it again. This time she did it even slower.

After demonstrating the entire Soul Departing Mirror again, Dugu Fengwu turned back and handed the artifact sword over to Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian attempted it again.

For the first form, he still did the same, but the qi vessel didn"t react.

For the second form, he still did the same too, but the qi vessel still didn"t react.

For the previously incompleted third form, he had successfully completed it.

For the fourth form, Yang Dingtian mulled over it for a long time and still was able to complete it successfully.

When at the fifth form, he declared it a failure and turned back.

Before he even had to ask, Dugu Fengwu took the sword and demonstrated again, with an even slower speed.

After Dugu Fengwu demonstrated it for eleven times, Yang Dingtian finally had a complete grasp of all the forms of the Soul Departing Mirror, but there was still no reaction from the qi vessel.

Yang Dingtian practiced it again and again. Five times, ten times, twenty times.

Time flowed bit by bit, and in the blink of the eye, more than two hours had pa.s.sed, and half of the time was gone. There were still eight moves of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword that he had yet to learn, but Dugu Fengwu didn"t hurry him and just stood by the side with an insipid expression.

Finally, Yang Dingtian didn"t know how many times he had practiced the Soul Departing Mirror, but there was still no reaction from his qi vessel. Yang Dingtian was starting to have doubts if Dugu Fengwu had unwilling to teach him the real Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword; thus, she had intentionally shown the wrong Soul Departing Mirror to him.

After practicing a few more times and still getting no reaction from the qi vessel, Yang Dingtian"s heart was getting even more doubtful as he had this urge to ask Dugu Fengwu.

But, just as he was going to question, he suddenly felt a jolt in the depts of his qi vessel and also a reaction in his mystic meridians.

Yang Dingtian quickly invested all his spirit and chased after that feeling.

It was a mystical feeling, and the jolt in the qi vessel this time was very mild and somewhat like a wink. It was like the tip of the string that was among the chaotic and countless strings. It was like a thought in an illusory dream. He suddenly felt it, but when he wanted to go look for it, it would have vanished entirely.

Yang Dingtian held his breath and concentrated all his spirit to search and capture that feeling, that mystic qi jolt.

It was undoubtedly the most difficult portion. But once he found it, he would be able to bring it all out quickly.

Continuously searching and searching!

Suddenly, Yang Dingtian found the origins of that jolt of mystic qi. He had found the source of the mystic qi circulation.

Subsequently, he went according to his feelings and rapidly executed the second move of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, Soul Departing Mirror.

He constantly practiced it. It was fast for a moment and slow for the next. He followed the mystic qi meridian route and forcefully pushed towards the roots of the Soul Departing Mirror, shaving it off bit by bit.

He had completely forgotten everything and was fully immersed in the world of the Soul Departing Mirror.

As expected, the most challenging part was searching for the source. Once Yang Dingtian found the tip of the string, he was immediately able to pull the entire line out.

“Swish Swish Swish Swish…” In the bamboo forest, on the lake.

Yang Dingtian"s figure was refracting rapidly as he left behind several afterimages.

He appeared above the lake, the bamboo forest, beside the giant boulder.

His figure was like beads of pearls; his sword was like a needle with string. He rapidly s.h.i.+fted, switched, threading with the needle and linking up all the pearls.

In an instant, there was an afterimage picture scroll that was formed in the valley.

“Pa…” Finally, Yang Dingtian"s figure floating like a reflection and went back to where he originally came from.

“Snap…” All the afterimages suddenly shattered.

In an instant, the air was ruptured.

The lake had been ruptured and turned into countless water droplets and steam.

The bamboos had been severed across the waist.

A deep crack had been left on the giant boulder!

Yang Dingtian had succeeded again in learning the real Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword"s second move, Soul Departing Mirror.

Even though the power was much weaker than when Dugu Fengwu simulated it with her mystic qi, but his Soul Departing Mirror"s effect and image were all the true power.

Dugu Fengwu warned herself not to be astonished and shocked.

But after seeing this scene, she felt this numbing sensation in her body, and she had this strange affectionate emotion in the depths of her heart.

Yang Dingtian walked over to Dugu Fengwu and handed the sword over to her while saying, “Now, it is time to learn the third move.”

“What is there to learn?” Dugu Fengwu stated, “More than six hours have already pa.s.sed. Your second move took up more than three hours.”

“Did it take that long?” Yang Dingtian let out a surprised voice and lifted his head to see the sky.

It truly had been so long. When he started learning the Soul Departing Mirror, it was still before noon, but the sun was now tilting towards the west. But when he was immersed in the world of the Soul Departing Mirror, he truly had no sense of time at all.

“You do not have the learn the rest of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword"s move.” Dugu Fengwu explained, “The first two moves are more than enough for you to impersonate the Hidden Sect"s disciples at the headquarters of the Heaven Dao Union. We are running out of time and must hurry to the Divine Weapons Manor to obtain the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer by deceiving them.”

Finis.h.i.+ng her statement, Dugu Fengwu immediately walked out of the valley and towards the Divine Weapons Manor, while Yang Dingtian followed behind closely.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Dingtian said, “There is something that I better tell you.”

“Speak,” Dugu Fengwu responded.

“When I had failed countless times during the practice of the Soul Departing Mirror, he had suspected if you had intentionally taught me the wrong Soul Departing Mirror. But it was proven that you didn"t do it, and I had judged a good person with my vile character.” Yang Dingtian said, “Even though I didn"t question you, but I still think that I owe you an apology.”

Dugu Fengwu remained speechless, and it was rare that she didn"t speak with sarcasm as she simply showed an emotionless expression.

When Yang Dingtian, who was following behind Dugu Fengwu, had seen her strange reaction, he couldn"t help but ask, “You didn"t actually teach me the wrong Soul Departing Mirror, right? Are you unwilling for me the learn the real sword art from Hidden Sect?”

Dugu Fengwu suddenly paused and turned her beautiful face to reply to Yang Dingtian, “You guessed it right. I did teach you the wrong move. So you are actually a vile character judging another vile character.”

Yang Dingtian was instantly astonished and speechless.

Dugu Fengwu said, “But I didn"t expect it at all. I had obviously messed up the Soul Departing Mirror"s move before teaching it to you. Not only did you not go into a berserk state, you even managed to correct the flaws slowly and finally learned the Soul Departing Mirror. Do you know that I was slowly tempted to go and behead you earlier?”

Yang Dingtian was astonished and speechless again. He wondered, should he be amazed at the shamelessness of Dugu Fengwu, or amazed at how incredible this sword art was, or was he supposed to be amazed at how amazing he was. After finding the drop of connection in the mystic qi route of the Soul Departing Mirror and immediately searching for the source. Finally, correcting the Soul Departing Mirror, and taking complete grasp of it.

“Stop thinking about it. You just have to remember. The smarter and more incredible you are, the faster you die,” Dugu Fengwu spoke coldly and turned walked towards the Divine Weapons Manor.

Immediately after, Dugu Fengwu put on a red mantle and a veil because they were about to encounter other people soon. Third Lady Gongsun was a superstar in this world and once anyone saw her, it would definitely cause a commotion.

Divine Weapons Manor!

On the peak of the Mt. Black Edge, it looked as though the peak was directly cut off, which created a flat land to build the manor.

The entire manor covered around two hectares of land, and among the influential factions of the world, the Divine Weapons Manor was considered small. After all, they were specialized in forging weapons and didn"t require any military force to maintain their own status. But despite the case, the Divine Weapons Manor was overseen by a Master cla.s.s expert.

The gates of the manor had two giant iron swords, which were a few hundred feet tall. The tip of the sword was pointed towards the sky, and it looked extremely imperious.

When at the entrance of the manor, there were already plenty of people queuing up. Every day, there would be plenty of people coming to pay their respects to the Divine Weapons Manor, and most of them were asking for a favor, which proved how popular and influential the Divine Weapons Manor was.

The appearance of Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu quickly attracted plenty of eyes. It was mainly because Yang Dingtian was impersonating this nameless yet incredibly cool and handsome man. Dugu Fengwu might be covered in a veil and mantle, but her wonderful curvy figure still emitted this aura that was unconcealable.

Dugu Fengwu didn"t join the queue and walked straight up to the entrance.

The people in the queue instantly revealed dissatisfied expression, as they thought no matter how wonderful her figure was or how tempting her aura was, she still shouldn"t just cut the queue.

Dugu Fengwu immediately took off her veil and spoke slowly, “Seven Refined Lane"s Third Lady Gongsun is here to pay her respects!”

In an instant, the entire place was in silence.

Afterward, all eyes were gathered on Dugu Fengwu"s face as their face instantly burst with zealotry!

When the disciples at the gates of the Divine Weapons Manor saw Dugu Fengwu"s remarkable stunning face, they immediately lost their spirits and all the ability to react.

“Seven Refined Lane"s Third Lady Gongsun is here to pay her respects.” Dugu Fengwu spoke again, this time with a hoa.r.s.e voice that had a natural attraction.

“Oh…” The disciple of the Divine Weapons Manor quickly regained his senses. He quickly nodded and wanted to say something, but due to his anxiety, he stuttered and couldn"t say anything. His neck and face were flushed red as he quickly turned and ran into the manor to report.

“Lady Gongsun, Lady Gongsun…”

In an instant, over a hundred individuals were completely shocked and had forgotten that they were in a queue. They crowded around and greeted Dugu Fengwu with pa.s.sion as they desperately tried to get near, yet didn"t dare to cross into the one-meter radius from Dugu Fengwu.

It was truly unexpected for Dugu Fengwu"s alter ego, Third Lady Gongsun, to receive such pa.s.sionate pursuit from men.

Soon enough, everyone noticed that Dugu Fengwu had another man beside her, and it was a very handsome looking man.

“Lady Gongsun, who is that man beside you? Is he your partner?” Finally, someone couldn"t help but ask with a voice filled with jealousy.

That"s right, he might look das.h.i.+ng and someone incredible, but no one was worthy of Third Lady Gongsun. In the hearts of these fans, no man in the world was worthy enough for Third Lady Gongsun.

“A friend, an old friend that I didn"t get to meet for a long time,” Dugu Fengwu replied with a smile.

In an instant, all the men felt extremely blessed as they looked towards Yang Dingtian with much more amiable eyes.

At this moment, the manor echoed with a forceful voice.

“Lady Gongsun is here to visit, and I have been disrespectful by not welcoming you sooner. My apologies.”

The owner of Divine Weapons Manor, Qiu Wanjie, led over a dozen men and walked out in a hurry. As he was still several meters away from Dugu Fengwu, he bowed with respect.

As he was speaking, the owner of Divine Weapons Manor eyes shot at Yang Dingtian with lightning speed.

Third Lady Gongsun"s charm was renowned in the world but had always avoided immorality and never allowed other men to approach her. Who exactly was this man to be able to get so near to Lady Gongsun?
