“Fall City Sword Sect, Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword Art!” Yun Wanli wielded his sword and said.

“Cloud Heaven City, Pig Slaying Sword Art,” Yang Dingtian held up his sword and said.

After hearing Yang Dingtian saying the name of the Pig Slaying Sword Art, Yun Wanli ultimately couldn’t hide the trace of mockery on his mouth. He frowned slightly and asked, “Young Master Yang, what is your current cultivation?”

“Nine-star Mystic Martial Artist,” Yang Dingtian said.

In an instant, Dongfang Bingling’s calm expression suddenly shivered. Yang Dingtian had just left the Yin Yang Sect for such a short period of time, and he actually broke through to nine-star Mystic Martial Artist? Such cultivation speed was just too shocking.

But in Yun Wanli’s eyes, a nine-star Mystic Martial Artist was just like an ant. He who was a Martial Mystic class expert actually had to compete with a nine-star Mystic Martial Artist? It was simply a great humiliation. If it wasn’t because Dongfang Bingling was the Nine Heaven Mystic Lady, whom he admired in his heart, which prevented him from behaving rashly, he would otherwise have turned and left.

“How long has Young Master Yang been practicing the sword?” Yun Wanli asked.

“About half a month,” Yang Dingtian replied.

Yun Wanli had an instant change in expression while his eyes were even more furious as he thought, “You have only been practicing the sword for half a month, and you dare compete with me? Are you ignorant or presumptuous?!”

“Our strength difference is truly too drastic. Even if I don’t use mystic qi, there is no need for a fight,” Yun Wanli frowned and said. “Let’s do it like this. I will execute three sword moves, from easiest to hardest. You will use your full strength to withstand them. If your sword art is related to the Hidden Sect, it will not be hard to see through it, and I will feel it too.”

“This arrangement is fine,” Yang Dingtian replied indifferently.

Yun Wanli lightly clenched onto the sword hilt and said, “Pay attention, I am about to execute my first sword move. This is the easiest sword move in the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword Art. I will only use 30% of my maximum speed. I don’t expect you to block it, but don’t lose too miserably.”

“Alright,” Yang Dingtian responded.

“First sword, Universal Shift!”

Yun Wanli’s sword abruptly drew across while the sword light lit up and the sword shadow shivered.

In an instant, the surrounding air had been sliced up. It was visible to the naked eye that it had been sliced into many pieces.

In this instant, the scene that Yang Dingtian was seeing felt as though it was split apart and randomly put back together.

As a result, there were innumerable swords that had sliced innumerable times. A disjointed image thrust towards Yang Dingtian.

It was indeed a sword art that was bestowed by the Hidden Sect Patriarch. It was truly profound.

Despite Yun Wanli using only 30% of his maximum speed, it was still very fast and much faster than Yang Dingtian’s fastest speed.

For a split moment, there was only a jumbled-up image that came crashing, and it was unknown which part was real and which part was fake.

Right now, even Dongfang Bingling showed a reaction as though she had seen something breathtaking.

The Fall City Sword Sect’s sword art was truly mystical and extraordinary.

Yang Dingtian stood still as though he had been shocked by this profound sword art.

“Bumpkin, you have never seen such a profound sword art, right? I will dazzle your eyes!” Yun Wanli’s mouth revealed disdain while his sharp sword shook and he was about to strike at Yang Dingtian’s sword, to disarm and embarrass him.

When Yun Wanli was just one foot away from Yang Dingtian, he suddenly moved.

The Night Owl Strange Blade directly thrust out without any fancy tricks. It was the most ordinary straight thrust.

“This is your lousy sword art? And you dare to show it to others?” Yun Wanli was sneering in his heart as his sword was slashing towards Yang Dingtian’s wrist.

“Give it up!”

He didn’t just want to disarm Yang Dingtian. He wanted to make Yang Dingtian bleed and teach him a lesson.

But immediately after, Yun Wanli felt this energy that suddenly blocked his sword, and he suddenly lost control of his sword, causing it to fly out from his hands.

“Swish...” Yun Wanli’s sword immediately flew over ten meters away and was motionlessly nailed into the floor.

In this instant, Yun Wanli was shocked and looked at his right hand in disbelief.

“How could it be like this? How could this be possible?”

“My sword art is so mystical, and it should have disarmed this insect’s sword and pierced his wrist! How could my sword fly off like this?”

Even Dongfang Bingling was shocked and looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief.

Yang Dingtian sheathed his sword with an indifferent expression.

That’s right. Yun Wanli’s Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword was indeed very profound and was indeed worthy of being imparted by the Hidden Sect Patriarch, which was truly mystical.

In all the known sword arts in this world, in terms of sword move profundity, the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword was only inferior to the Void Nine Calamity Sword.

Furthermore, these two sword arts were of the same origins. Yang Dingtian felt as though it was someone who had seen the Void Nine Calamity Sword and memorized it before creating the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. Hence, these two sword arts were slightly similar.

But, it was drastically different in terms of quintessence. In fact, it was entirely different. The profundity of the Void Nine Calamity Sword was to regain the natural state while the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword aimed to continue walking the road towards more complexity, all to create that awe-inspiring effect.

Furthermore, this Yun Wanli wanted to show off too much in front of Dongfang Bingling. Hence, he made the moves even more fanciful by altering some of it.

Thus, to others, his sword art might be extremely complicated. But in Yang Dingtian’s eyes, it was filled with flaws.

Even though Yang Dingtian’s speed wasn’t comparable to Yun Wanli, a casual thrust was enough to break Yun Wanli’s sword art and even disarm him.

Yun Wanli wanted to greatly humiliate Yang Dingtian but was unintentionally slapped by Yang Dingtian instead.

**********

After he regained his senses, Yun Wanli wished there was a hole in the ground where he could hide inside as it was truly too humiliating.

Furthermore, he had actually boasted shamelessly and even asked Yang Dingtian to try and block his sword art while his sword art was casually broken and he even was disarmed himself. There was nothing else more shameful than this.

Feeling the fiery tingling on his face, Yun Wanli walked over and pulled his sword out of the ground. He grinned at Yang Dingtian with dissatisfaction and said, “Young Master Yang’s sword art is truly incredible. Next, please block my second sword.”

“Second sword, Shadowless Dream!”

Yun Wanli’s sword brandished and splattered out a bunch of sword flowers.

“Swish Swish Swish Swish...” Afterwards, his body shifted.

In an instant, his figure completely vanished, and so did his sword.

He turned into a faint shadow that was rapidly revolving around Yang Dingtian.

This time, he had pushed his speed to the limit.

The effect was very stunning as the entire hall was filled with his figures but there was no place that had his shadows.

The second move, Shadowless Dream, was truly amazing.

It completely utilized the mystical maneuvers and the extreme speed to create a visual illusion, which made the practitioner invisible.

If one could not even see the opponent, how was one going to defeat the opponent?

Yang Dingtian kept on turning his body as though he was searching for Yun Wanli’s figure.

When Yun Wanli saw Yang Dingtian in this state, he finally felt that he had taken back his reputation in front of Dongfang Bingling. He sneered in his heart, “Bumpkin, it was my error earlier on. Now that you see the true profundity of my sword art, you should know how amazing it is, right?”

Yang Dingtian was currently gasping in surprise as this Shadowless Illusion was so similar to his Void Nine Calamity Sword’s Sword of Rapture. But, this was also just a physical form and was just superficial.

When Yun Wanli saw Yang Dingtian sighing, he was even more complacent in his heart, but his eyes suddenly turned cold.

This bumpkin had caused him great humiliation earlier. Right now, he was going to make Yang Dingtian pay greatly.

He stared coldly at Yang Dingtian’s face and was preparing to draw a triangle made of blood, which was the symbol for a slave.

“Yang Dingtian. This is my true sword art. Let’s see how you block it!” Yun Wanli laughed loudly and suddenly appeared behind Yang Dingtian. His sharp sword then drew at Yang Dingtian’s face.

It felt as though Yang Dingtian didn’t even detect him at all.

“Yang Dingtian, you brought this onto yourself. Don’t blame me for being merciless.” Yun Wanli’s hand increased in speed as his sword sliced at Yang Dingtian’s face. He was going to leave a fresh slave mark made of blood and leave Yang Dingtian with eternal humiliation.

Yang Dingtian stood still and didn’t even turn around. He thrust with his backhand with a speed that couldn’t even be considered fast.

“Clang...” Yun Wanli instantly felt a pain in his arm, and he didn’t know what happened as he was disarmed again. This time, it flew over a few dozen meters and was nailed into the wall with a violent shake.

Previously, his sword flew over ten meters, but this time it flew over a few dozen meters and was stuck on the wall. If there was a next time, was his sword going to shoot up to the ceiling?

Yun Wanli was truly going crazy. He was really going to go insane!

Why did this happen? Why? His sword art was the most stunning in the world, and no matter where he went, everyone would be dumbstruck and look up to him with respect. His sword art was supposed to be the world’s no.1 sword art, which was directly imparted by the Hidden Sect Patriarch. It was supposed to be invincible and supreme.

But today, his sword art had been easily neutralized by Yang Dingtian who was a mere nine-star Mystic Martial Artist. Furthermore, when Yang Dingtian neutralized his sword moves, Yang Dingtian did it as though it was as simple and crude as eating a meal and taking a piss.

The first time was fine, but when he was disarmed the second time, he was even struck on the wrist. Despite the fact that Yun Wanli didn’t use any mystic qi... he had been practicing the sword for more than a dozen years while Yang Dingtian had only practiced for half a month.

Right now, Yun Wanli wasn’t just ashamed to death, he was utterly insane from jealousy. Even his pride had been toppled.

“Impossible, impossible. How can you neutralize my sword art? How can you neutralize my Shadowless Dream? I have already practiced it to the extremity!” Yun Wanli pointed at Yang Dingtian and spoke sternly.

Yang Dingtian wanted to say, “Boss, your sword art is already wrong. The more you practice it to the extreme, the worse it gets. With such a heavily flawed sword art, how can you expect me not to neutralize it?”

That’s right, Yang Dingtian had practiced the Void Nine Calamity Sword tens of thousands of times, and he understood the logic behind each sword move. This so-called Shadowless Dream was just a superficial version of the Void Nine Calamity Sword’s Sword of Rapture. It couldn’t even be considered an imitation.

To others, it might be unstoppable, but to Yang Dingtian, he could even neutralize it with his eyes closed.

Right now, Dongfang Bingling was truly completely shocked. In just over one month, Yang Dingtian actually became so incredible? Did she really underestimate him back at the Yin Yang Sect? Did this Yang Dingtian really have such astounding innate potential?

Seeing that Yun Wanli was about to go crazy, Yang Dingtian indifferently reminded him, “Young Lord Yun, there is still the third sword.”

Hearing Yang Dingtian’s indifferent words, Yun Wanli instantly snapped out of it and took a deep breath to force himself to calm down.

That’s right, he might have humiliated himself, but only Dongfang Bingling was present. His image in front of his goddess might have been ruined, but it was nothing much. Dongfang Bingling was originally someone that he couldn’t match up to. So, his shamed reputation wouldn’t be spread out.

Moreover, so what if this Yang Dingtian’s sword art was extremely exquisite? He was just a merely nine-star Mystic Martial Artist. The most important thing in this world was mystic qi, and if he was to use his mystic qi, he would be able to crush Yang Dingtian with a single finger.

But, seeing the situation right now, he had to plot this properly. If this Yang Dingtian wanted to humiliate him, then he definitely didn’t want to let Yang Dingtian have his wish.

Yun Wanli regained his icy coldness and walked over to pull his sharp sword out. He said, “Young Master Yang’s sword art is truly profound, but they were all just a single motion. There is no way to see any connection with the Hidden Sect. As for the third sword, why don’t you attack me and I will defend?”

Yang Dingtian nodded and said, “That is fine too.”

Yun Wanli continued and said, “Furthermore, you cannot use such a straightforward and crude sword art. The Hidden Sect’s sword arts are filled with an immortal-like qi and are extremely mystical. Hence, the sword art that you execute needs to have the aura of the Hidden Sect and be similar to my Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. In addition, you have to break my defenses with this sword move. This way, I will admit that your sword art is related to the Hidden Sect. How about it? As long as you cannot do one of these things, then I must apologize in advance that I will have to look on as Cloud Heaven City is expelled from the Heaven Dao Union.”

The third sword had two conditions. Firstly, it had to have the aura of the Hidden Sect and be similar to the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. Secondly, it had to break Yun Wanli’s defenses.

Yang Dingtian instantly laughed in his heart, “Is there something even easier to do in this world?”

That’s right. Was there something easier than this in the world? Yang Dingtian’s Void Nine Calamity Sword was extremely profound, complex, and utterly brimming with immortal-like presence. When compared to the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword, it was at least superior by several folds.

As for the breaking of Yun Wanli’s defenses... Without the use of mystic qi, it was basically impossible for the heavily flawed Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword to defend against the Void Nine Calamity Sword. It was impossible for Yang Dingtian to try and not break the defenses.

After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian gently drew a sword flower and looked at Dongfang Bingling.

The Void Nine Calamity Sword wasn’t just the no.1 mystical sword, but it was also the no.1 sword of pretense.

“You ignorant chick, I will let you witness my passerby’s supreme sword art!”

“Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Earth Descend!”

It was just a single sword, but it was as if it had come from the starry river in the sky and not from the human world...
