C121 (2/2)

”You're not going to use your sword, are you …?” As the black-clothed youth watched Cang Yun's movements, his eyes narrowed, but he did not pay too much attention to it. This was only his first sword strike, if Cang Yun were to use his ultimate move, then the rest of the battle would be meaningless.

The black-clothed youth also knew that Cang Yun must also have had the same thought.

Cang Yun remained silent. With a thought, the six soul imprints formed a circular barrier in the blink of an eye, blocking in front of him like a sturdy fortress.

Swoosh!

A cold light flashed before the sword qi shot out like a rainbow. In the blink of an eye, the black-robed youth's sword qi stabbed right into the barrier in front of Cang Yun.

BOOM!

The astral wind surged. The sword ray that was condensed to the limit exploded on the barrier. Countless energies were like sharp swords that shot in all directions, causing the entire stone room to rumble.

Countless small sword marks appeared on the surrounding stone wall. The barrier in front of Cang Yun was also trembling violently, as if there was an endless amount of pressure pressing down on him. The tyrannical aura forced Cang Yun to retreat.

If it was any other person, they would have already chosen to retreat to escape from the black-clothed youth's sword energy.

However, Cang Yun did not do so. He clenched his teeth and his spirit power surged out crazily, continuously pouring into the barrier in front of him. It was as if his feet were rooted to the ground, and he would not retreat even half a step!

Cang Yun knew that this was a contest of wills of Mandates. The black-robed youth's Mandate was incomparably tyrannical, and if he retreated, not only would he be unable to break free of the latter's sword might, it would also be like adding oil to the fire, causing the tyrannical sword aura to surge even more violently.

Fear was the best nourishment for being tyrannical. There was no arrogance in people. Those tyrannical people had absorbed the fear of countless others in their lives, so they could become tyrannical.

Cang Yun understood this, and was naturally unwilling to become someone's stepping stone. His martial will was unyielding, unyielding soul. It wasn't the slightest bit weaker than his domineering heart, and it was even stronger!

Wang Hou is like Xiang Ning? With an unyielding soul, even the emperor dared to pull Wang Lin down. The greater the pressure, the stronger the unyielding soul would become!

So at this moment, not only did Cang Yun not have any thoughts of retreating, he even wanted to use the pressure of the black-clothed youth's overbearing sword force to sharpen his unyielding soul.

After the treasured sword had been trained, the plum blossom fragrance came from the bitter cold. Cang Yun wanted to use this method to strengthen his unyielding soul. That way, his heart of martial arts would be purer, and his future path would be even more distant.

”Hm?” ”So this is the true nature of martial arts …”

The black-clothed youth saw through Cang Yun's intentions. His deep eyes flashed for a moment as he considered whether he should withdraw his sword energy.

Every martial artist had their own pride. No one was willing to become a stepping stone for others to succeed, and the black-clothed youth was no exception. Cang Yun's method was obviously to use him as a stepping stone, causing the black-clothed youth to hesitate.

However, after pondering for a long time, the black-clothed youth finally did not make a choice.

A choice without a choice was the greatest favor to Cang Yun at this moment!

Cang Yun was completely focused on resisting the black-clothed youth's tyrannical sword qi. Under the pressure of the latter, his unyielding will continued to grow stronger, like a spark about to ignite.

After a long while, the boy in black faded away, and Cang Yun's sunken mind gradually recovered, along with his growing unyielding will!

”Ah …!”

Suddenly, Cang Yun let out a loud shout. The sound was like a thunderclap that tore through the clouds, and it abruptly exploded within the stone chamber!

And following his whistle, the last bit of the black-clothed youth's sword energy suddenly collapsed!
