Chapter 379: Why aren’t you using the sword?! (2/2)

Is she just being arrogant? Or does she have absolute faith in her skills?

Ye Tang swung the sword in his hand and said gravely, ”Miss Chu Chu, you better take out your sword. I used only half of my strength earlier!”

In front of him, Chu Chu calmly smiled just as before.

Take out what sword! The short sword tied to his thigh was just for show… aside from the basic stuff about swordsmans.h.i.+p he learned from the young man in green clothes in the illusory reality, Song Shuhang didn't know anything else about swords!

”I can only use the Flaming Saber and do my best,” Song Shuhang muttered to himself.

Thereupon, while smiling, 'Chu Chu' likewise swung the saber in her hands and took several steps back, increasing the distance between the two. She wanted to gain enough time to gather the necessary qi to use the Flaming Saber Technique.

Seeing that Chu Chu seemed to have no intention of drawing her sword, Ye Tang's expression became cold. Soon after, fighting intent started to burn in his eyes. ”It seems you have no intention of drawing your sword. In that case, I'll force you to draw it!”

After saying this much, Ye Tang dashed forward once more.

This time, his speed was twice as fast as before!

The distance Song Shuhang had put between them was immediately pulled closer.

”Monolith Sword Technique!” Ye Tang gravely shouted and released all his strength, slas.h.i.+ng toward Chu Chu once more.

Even inside the Illusory Sword School, the Monolith Sword Technique was a very ordinary sword technique… in other words, it was comparable to those common and widespread techniques in the world of cultivators.

But when Ye Tang used it, its momentum was like that of a mountain.

Even if the sword had yet to arrive, the opponent felt as though a small mountain was weighing down on them!

Upon seeing this scene, Northern River's Loose Cultivator faintly smiled and said, ”That guy has some skills. He is very adept at using that move. He must have practiced it at least 100,000 times to get such an overbearing momentum.”

Dharma King Creation said, ”It seems our little friend can't win. After all, he's still at the First Stage Dragon Gate Realm.”

Cave Lord Snow Wolf nodded and continued, ”The difference between cultivators of the First and Second Stage is too big. But if he can use things like talismans while on the platform, he might be able to turn the battle.”

Just as the seniors were discussing amongst themselves, Song Shuhang finished gathering his qi and made his move.

He spun his wrist and used the long saber to welcome Ye Tang's blow from a weird angle.

”Swoosh~” A thin layer of flames started to burn on the blade of the saber. Even if the flame seemed weak, it gave one the impression of being scorching hot! This time, Song Shuhang didn't rely on the ancient bronze ring to execute the 'Flaming Saber Technique'.

Earlier, a strange feeling welled up in his heart… in the instant he spun his wrist, he felt as though he could use the Flaming Saber Technique even without the aid of the ancient bronze ring! He felt that he could pull it off with his strength alone!

And just like this, he was able to use what seemed to be… the Flame Tongue Saber?

The flames burning on the saber seemed very weak. It felt as if they could die out at any moment, just like small tongues of flames.

But Song Shuhang didn't have time to think right now.

”Clang!”

The Flaming Saber clashed against Ye Tang's Monolith Sword Technique.

In the next moment...

The huge momentum of Ye Tang's Monolith Sword Technique was suddenly broken.

Although the thin layer of flames burning on the saber seemed weak and ready to die out at the first blow of wind, it also felt as though it contained the power to burn the myriad things in the universe, as well as to reduce to ashes the sky, the earth, and the seas!

It was a slash capable of burning the heavens.

The saber intent was likewise formidable!

In front of this slash capable of burning the heavens, the mountain-like momentum of Ye Tang's sword collapsed at the first blow.

After the sword and the saber collided, that thin layer of flames started to climb upon Ye Tang's sword. It seemed as though it wanted to burn both Ye Tang and the sword.

Ye Tang roared and poured his true qi inside the long sword and fiercely swung it, extinguis.h.i.+ng the flames burning on it.

At this time, Chu Chu's face was somewhat pale.

Although the momentum of the Monolith Sword Technique was broken, the strength of the sword didn't decrease at all, fully affecting her after b.u.mping into her saber.

The arm she was holding the saber with was slightly trembling.

Ye Tang slowly exhaled a mouthful of bad air and said, ”Miss Chu Chu, still not going to use that sword?”

'Chu Chu' didn't reply and faintly smiled, shaking her head. The power of the Flaming Saber Technique just now, used without the aid of the ancient bronze ring, had far surpa.s.sed Song Shuhang's expectations!

But the Flaming Saber alone wasn't enough to win the match.

”Perhaps I should try to use 'that move' even if I learned it just recently…” Song Shuhang said softly.

Next, he started to revolve the qi and blood in his five apertures. After it was stimulated through a special method, it started to churn and finally exploded with all its power—this was the Huge Whale's Technique from the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯.

Song Shuhang had already opened his five apertures, and with the help of an experienced Venerable, it hadn't been difficult for him to learn this 'qi and blood erupting' technique.

However, he wasn't completely familiar with the technique yet.

This is a good opportunity… I can actually make use of the pressure this Second Stage True Master is exercising on me...

If I can stimulate the ❮Huge Whale's Technique❯ and condense an embryonic form of the pseudo-innate true qi inside my body…

...I can break through the Second Stage!
