Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Defeating Wu Qianshan

The Drifting Cloud Sword Art is Wu Qianshan’s strongest martial skill; countless experts have fallen to his sword, all thanks to the Drifting Cloud Sword Art.

The essence of the Drifting Cloud Sword Art is to concentrate all the sword’s radiance and power into one spot, delivering a powerful strike to the enemy, exploding with full force. It’s an extremely potent martial art.

The overwhelming aura of the sword’s radiance struck fear into the students and generals alike.

“Drifting Cloud Sword Art! Wu Qianshan’s trump card!” Zhao Wuji said with a grave expression.

Bai Kong’s gaze also shifted to Wu Qianshan, the dreadful power of the sword technique clearly something he took seriously.

“Qianshan’s Drifting Cloud Sword Art has been cultivated to perfection, its strength is considerable,” remarked an elder with a light smile, nodding in satisfaction.

“Indeed, its power is formidable! I’m afraid even Feng Wuchen might not be able to withstand it!” the other elders nodded one after another, highly optimistic about Wu Qianshan.

“Dean Xing, may I ask about Feng Wuchen’s sword technique?” the elder turned to ask Xing Tianfeng.

Upon hearing this, Xing Tianfeng stroked his beard and said with a light smile, “Stronger.”

“Stronger?” The Great General and the other deans’ expressions changed slightly.

To be acknowledged by the elders was proof enough of the strength of Wu Qianshan’s sword technique; but now Xing Tianfeng was suggesting that Feng Wuchen’s was even stronger—could it be an Earth Grade Martial Skill?

Doubts filled the eyes that turned towards Feng Wuchen.

“Worthy of being a Sword Dao genius!” Feng Wuchen frowned slightly, the power of the sword’s radiance was incredibly surging, and he did not dare to underestimate it.

“Feng Wuchen! Unleash your sword technique! Let’s see if your sword technique is formidable, or if mine is stronger!” Wu Qianshan shouted, his fighting spirit soaring.

“Alright!” Feng Wuchen responded heartily.

As the power of the Dragon God was fully activated, Feng Wuchen’s aura skyrocketed, channeling the Dragon God’s power into the Fiery Blade. The blade shone with golden light, becoming increasingly dazzling, as a wildly fierce sword radiance emanated from it.

The surging aura swelled crazily, and when Feng Wuchen’s momentum reached its peak, it gave off an intimidating presence!

“Illusionary Ruination Sword Art! Illusionary Ruination of Heaven and Earth!”

Feng Wuchen gave a loud shout, gripping the Fiery Blade with both hands, and slashed down. A beam of golden light shot from the tip of the sword, instantly expanding to several meters in size.

“Swoosh!”

The golden sword radiance was as fast as lightning, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, its domineering power terrifying, as if nothing could withstand it.

“Oh?” Bai Kong swept his gaze towards Feng Wuchen in surprise and said, “What an intimidating aura!”

“How is this possible!” Feeling the domineering power of Feng Wuchen’s sword radiance, Wu Qianshan’s face drastically changed, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

“Earth Grade Martial Skill!”

“That’s right! It’s an Earth Grade Martial Skill! The aura is too frightening!”

“Feng Wuchen’s sword technique is actually an Earth Grade Martial Skill!”

At that moment, all the students and generals present exclaimed in shock, their faces more full of terror.

“Indeed, it is an Earth Grade Martial Skill! The sword radiance is incredibly domineering!” The top levels of the academy were all moved, their expressions revealing astonishment.

“Boom!”

“Buzz!”

The two terrifying sword radiances collided amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd. With a loud explosion, the ground trembled, and a destructive wave of energy swept wildly. Wu Qianshan’s mouth spilled blood, clearly injured.

Even Feng Wuchen was shaken by this terrible fluctuation, his blood roiling. If not for his robust physique, he would likely have been injured as well.

“A sword technique executed by someone at the Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm, truly powerful. If it weren’t for the Earth Grade Martial Skill, he wouldn’t stand a chance against him,” Feng Wuchen mused inwardly.

The extreme waves of violent energy rippled outward in all directions, causing panic among the students and generals who hurried back.

“Rumble!”

“Spit!”

The two raging sword radiances clashed only for seconds before exploding, the destructive energy dispersing again. Both Feng Wuchen and Wu Qianshan spat out blood, their figures flung backward.

Even with his strong physique, Feng Wuchen couldn’t withstand the terrifying force.

Both competitors sustained various degrees of injury upon the hard collision.

As powerful as Earth Grade Martial Skills were, Wu Qianshan hadn’t anticipated such severe damage from one.

The terrifying power had even the elders panicked and fearful.

Watching the huge mushroom cloud rise skyward, students even at the Third or Fourth Layer of the Yuandan Realm collapsed to the ground, pale as paper. The fear from deep within their souls was uncontrollable.

The fearsomeness of Feng Wuchen made the deans and elders reassess him once more.

Two minutes later, the ripples of energy dispersed and the dust settled. The environment cleared and the two once again appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

Wu Qianshan was pale and gasping heavily, looking bedraggled, his injuries severe.

Feng Wuchen’s face was also pale, but he was more optimistic than Wu Qianshan and his injuries were not as severe.

In the clash of sword techniques, it was clear that Feng Wuchen’s was the stronger!

There was no doubt about the power of the Earth Grade Martial Skill—it was unrivaled!

Wu Qianshan’s injuries were serious and, having consumed a lot of True Yuan, his aura was much weakened.

“The power of the Earth Grade Martial Skill is more terrifying than I imagined. Well done, Feng Wuchen,” Wu Qianshan said, struggling to voice his admiration.

Hearing this, Feng Wuchen broke into a smile and said, “You’re not bad either. To reach such a high level of mastery with a Profound Grade high-quality martial skill is indeed impressive.”

“I haven’t had such an exhilarating fight in a long time! It’s really exciting,” Wu Qianshan said with a faint smile, having already suppressed the blood qi within his body.

After a pause, Wu Qianshan added, “I thought my sword technique would defeat you, but it seems I underestimated you. I was thinking of saving some tricks for Bai Kong, but now it looks like there’s no choice but to use them.”

“Oh? You have more tricks up your sleeve?” Feng Wuchen said in surprise.

Bai Kong’s gaze also turned to Wu Qianshan in surprise, seemingly curious as to what kind of trump card could give Wu Qianshan such confidence.

Everyone present was surprised as well. What kind of trump card did Wu Qianshan have that made him confident enough to challenge Bai Kong?

“Profound Grade high-quality martial skill! Nine Souls Decree!”

Wu Qianshan channeled the array, his left hand forming a sword gesture, and a white light shone all over his body. Vast amounts of energy from all directions crazily converged upon him, all pouring into Wu Qianshan. Moments later, an incredibly robust aura surged wildly, with a terrifying strength once again spreading out.

“His fighting power has increased!” Feng Wuchen said with a slight frown. “What an amazing martial skill to be able to absorb the power of heaven and earth and transform it into one’s strength.”

“There’s indeed some knack to it!” The academy’s higher-ups exclaimed in astonishment.

“An unending supply of power?” Bai Kong slightly furrowed his brows. Such a formidable martial skill indeed made him feel somewhat apprehensive.

“Wolf Martial Soul!”

Wu Qianshan shouted again, rallying his Martial Soul imprint. A white wolf’s head emerged from between his brows, and Wu Qianshan’s combat strength soared once more, becoming fierce and ferocious.

Having brought his Martial Soul imprint into play, it was clear Wu Qianshan was using all his strength!

The terrifying waves of energy wildly roiled, completely collapsing the platform, and large cracks spread across the ground. At this moment, Wu Qianshan was at his absolute peak!

“Drifting Cloud Sword Art, second form! Liuyun Heavenly Soul Slash!”

Wu Qianshan grasped his sword with a backhanded grip, positioning it behind him. As all his power flooded into the long sword, he suddenly let out a great shout, and his momentum burst forth instantaneously.

“Whoosh!”

“Buzz buzz!”

A massive, several-zhang-long white sword beam broke through the air, even more terrifying than the first form’s sword beam. The dreadful might caused even space itself to tremble slightly, and once again, the faces of the students and soldiers were filled with horror.

“Even with such an unending supply of power, even with the Martial Soul summoned, his strength is just that,” Bai Kong muttered, not taking Wu Qianshan’s terrifying power seriously.

“Ding!”

Feng Wuchen’s expression was grave, and he did not dare to underestimate the situation. The Fiery Blade was planted into the ground, and he brought his hands together in prayer above it. A golden array emerged under his feet, and a tyrannical golden energy surged to the sky. His sword intent was vast, and the golden array revealed intricate and profound runes, spreading a destructive aura like the end of the world.

Feng Wuchen glowed with a brilliant golden light, as if a Heavenly God had descended, his aura dominating the heavens!

“Deploying an Earth Grade Martial Skill consumes a vast amount of True Yuan. How does Feng Wuchen, a mere Third Layer of the Yuandan Realm, have such a vast True Yuan to deploy an Earth Grade Martial Skill again?” Bai Kong wondered in his heart, shocked by the terrifying power.

“An Earth Grade Martial Skill! Another Earth Grade Martial Skill!”

“Is this the second form of the Sword technique? The aura is completely different!”

“Feng Wuchen indeed had a trump card up his sleeve!”
