Chapter 898 – Unity Sword Art (2/2)
Two cultivators still not in the Divine Domain had actually engaged in a direct confrontation with a Divine Domain expert and fought to a draw!
They had not relied on any divine artifacts, only on their cultivation in the path of the sword!
Such an event had never occurred in all of history!
Starting from when the Heavenly Tome Monoliths descended to the Central Continent, such a thing had never happened!
……
……
The plateau remained quiet. No one spoke, all of them too shocked.
Whether it was Gou Hanshi or the Vice Principal of Scholartree Manor, whether it was the Old Lady of the Mutuo clan or the head of the Wu clan, whether it was the White Tiger Divine General or the Prince of Xiang, they were all too shocked to speak.
No one noticed that in one corner of the plateau, a cultivator of a small southern sect, dressed in blue and wearing a bamboo hat, was approaching the scene of battle. No one noticed that in the Imperial Court's diplomatic mission, an extremely unremarkable soldier was approaching the White Tiger Divine General.
Wuqiong Bi descended onto the plateau. She looked at the horsetail whisk in her hand, a perplexed expression on her face.
She had been immersed in the Divine Domain for many years and had been cultivating for even longer. Not even she could count all the strange things she had experienced.
But none of them had inflicted a greater psychological blow to her than the events of the last two days.
How could there be someone who dared to kill her most beloved son?
How could two juniors fight her to a draw?
She recalled all the sword styles she had encountered in her life but still could not understand.
Xu Yourong had used the eighth move of South Stream Temple Sword Style's introductory moves while Chen Changsheng had used the Blazing Sword that Su Li had taught him. Let alone being similar, these two sword techniques could be said in terms of sword intent to be complete opposites, incompatible in every way. But why was it that these two sword techniques harmonized so well when used together?
This was undoubtedly no ordinary combined technique. This sort of combination was so perfect that it was not merely intentionally working together. It was more like they were secretly in accord with the laws of the world, acting according to what was natural. The defense was flawless, the attacks unfathomable, and the sword energy increased as its might continued to multiply!
Like Wuqiong Bi, many insightful experts on the plateau were pondering this question.
So were Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.
The first time, Xu Yourong had broken out of seclusion and flown over as a fiery Phoenix, intending to use the sword intent accumulated from her two years of seclusion to force her way in.
She had not expected that the attack that Chen Changsheng used would have such a large effect.
When his sword and her sword met, they seemed to form a connection.
This was an incredibly mysterious connection. One could only sense it, as it was too difficult to describe with words.
They used different sword styles, but this connection allowed them to naturally cooperate. Even their sword intents seemed to become one.
On the second time, this feeling was even clearer, even more distinct.
They could accurately sense what the other was thinking.
The two swords were also apparently able to sense the trajectory and angle of the other.
The sword techniques were still different, but their sword intents were as one.
It was like two jewels hidden beneath a layer of mossy rock. As they ground against each other, they revealed their true appearances and then combined into one jewel of peerless beauty.
But just what had happened? How had it happened?
Xu Yourong smiled at him and asked, ”When did you learn the Unity Sword Art?”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”When I went to see you on the summit yesterday, I was bored, so I read a few books.”
