Ch 310: The Simplest Sword Technique
The young man’s face flushed.
Just now he was boasting, and instantly he was slapped in the face.
He usually had a small reputation in Jianghu, and thought he could take a good sword in this Sword Forest today, but unexpectedly, he couldn’t even pass the most basic Heart-Testing Formation.
“Senior Nangong, this junior takes his leave.”
The young man didn’t linger, took one last deep look at the Sword Forest, and turned to leave.
Staying here would only be self-humiliating.
Watching the young man leave, some of the others bowed to Nangong Ao and then turned to leave.
Their strength was about the same as the young man’s. They felt that it was better to leave than to be driven back by the Heart-Testing Formation, which would save face. If they were unlucky, they might even get injured.
“Hey, Little Prince, aren’t you leaving?” A figure looked at Li Hanzhou and sneered, “This isn’t a place for a child like you. Leave quickly, or you won’t be able to leave later.”
“Exactly, a mere Sixth Rank, leave quickly, or you’ll be scared to wet your pants, and your maidservant will have to change them for you.”
“Hahahaha.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
“You!”
Zhao Qing’er was furious at this moment. She was about to step forward to argue, but Li Hanzhou stopped her. Li Hanzhou’s face showed no concern.
Just a bunch of noisy fools.
Seeing that Li Hanzhou wasn’t angered, the others were surprised.
They felt that this Xiao Han wasn’t as useless as the rumors said.
“Let me try.”
At this moment, Lin Di resolutely stepped onto the Heart-Testing Formation.
As Lin Di stepped onto the Heart-Testing Formation, the formation changed again, but at the same time, thirty-six stars suddenly lit up in the clouds.
Those stars came from Lin Di’s body!
“Star Luo Sword Formation!”
Everyone exclaimed.
The Star Luo Sword Formation was a sword formation of the Dragon Abyss Pavilion. The complete Star Luo Sword Formation was incredibly powerful, and even the simplified version Lin Di was using could resist the sword intent emanating from the Heart-Testing Formation.
At the same time, others also stepped onto the Heart-Testing Formation.
A phoenix cry.
Wu Sisi, the successor of the Nanzhao Witch Sword, transformed her sword into a form, directly confronting the oncoming sword intent.
The geniuses of various sects displayed their supernatural powers, and sword qi crisscrossed the entire cliff.
For a time, the entire Heart-Testing Formation was incredibly lively.
Everyone was resisting the impact of the ominous sword intent while struggling to move forward.
“Young Master, this iron chain probably can’t accommodate two people side by side,” Zhao Qing’er looked and said, “Young Master should go up by yourself. I’m not a sword practitioner, so I won’t enter this Heart-Testing Formation.”
“Since we’re here, wouldn’t it be a pity not to experience it?” Li Hanzhou said with a smile, “The Heart-Testing Formation tests one’s heart with the sword. Even if you practice spear technique, it will be of great benefit to you. Come with me, just follow me.”
Li Hanzhou brushed the frost off his moon white brocade robe and stepped onto the first chain. Instantly, the silent ancient swords suddenly emitted a shrill cry, and hundreds of sword qi transformed into green giant pythons, rushing towards him!
Faced with this scene, others had already drawn their swords to resist.
But Li Hanzhou didn’t draw his sword.
Because he didn’t have a sword.
If he had a sword, he wouldn’t be here seeking one.
He casually picked a small white flower from the edge of the cliff and flicked his finger.
The flower shattered into seven points of cold light, which condensed into a Big Dipper sword shape in mid-air!
The moment the sword qi pythons contacted the stars, they disintegrated like spring snow meeting the sun.
Even more astonishingly, the scattered sword qi didn’t dissipate, but instead turned into drops of water circling around him.
Li Hanzhou’s actions immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at Li Hanzhou. They couldn’t understand how a Sixth Rank martial artist could accomplish such a superb feat.
“Sword intent of softening the hard?”
The elder of the Red Dust Sword Sect, who was struggling in battle, his pupils constricted: “What an incredibly skillful sword technique!”
“Break!”
With a calm word, the water droplets floating around Li Hanzhou instantly shot out!
A light green sword qi spanning a hundred meters emerged from the water droplets. Wherever it passed, the ancient swords all wailed and fell off the cliff.
This wasn’t simply breaking the formation, but suppressing the ferocious energy accumulated in the sword tomb for thousands of years with supreme sword intent!
The experts from various sects who were trying to pass the formation in the clouds all turned their heads in astonishment, looking at the white-clothed figure who walked calmly towards the Sword Forest.
“How could this be?”
Lin Di, who had always been proud and arrogant, was utterly devastated to see Li Hanzhou easily break the formation, suppressing the Heart-Testing Formation and easily crossing to the other side.
Since he was young, he was considered to have extraordinary talent, a genius in the Sword Dao, and even used the Star Luo Sword Formation, yet how could he be inferior to a Sixth Rank martial artist?
Wu Sisi also looked at Li Hanzhou incredulously.
Her gaze was full of incomprehension.
“Young friend, are you cultivating the 《Vast Sea Sword Technique》?” At this time, Nangong Ao couldn’t help but ask.
“Senior Nangong also knows the Vast Sea Sword Technique?” Li Hanzhou looked at Nangong Ao.
“Of all the sword techniques in the world, Famous Sword Villa doesn’t claim to have collected all of them, but at least eight out of ten,” Nangong Ao proudly nodded.
The others looked at Li Hanzhou in surprise.
What is the Vast Sea Sword Technique?
Is it a powerful sword technique?
They usually practiced sword techniques as well, but few of them knew the Vast Sea Sword Technique, or even from which school or sect the martial art came from.
Nangong Ao snorted coldly and said to everyone, “The Vast Sea Sword Technique is one of the sword techniques practiced by the Divine Palace Kingdom’s army, or it is also included in some martial arts schools among the common people.”
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Practiced by the army?
Also in civilian martial arts schools?
Isn’t that commonplace?
A sword technique that can be bought for a few taels of silver?
Then how could it have such power?
Those who cultivated higher-level sword techniques hadn’t cultivated such powerful sword intent.
For a time, no one dared to underestimate Li Hanzhou.
Seeing the surprised expressions of everyone, Zhao Qing’er proudly raised her chin and looked at them triumphantly, as if saying, my Young Master is more powerful than you all even with the most basic sword technique.
After Li Hanzhou arrived on the other side, after about a quarter of an hour, Lin Di and Wu Sisi also arrived on the other side. However, in the Heart-Testing Formation, some people couldn’t withstand the impact of the sword intent and fell into the valley.
At this time, as everyone passed through the Heart-Testing Formation, the scene behind caused everyone present to hold their breath.
There were countless sword tablets in front of them!
Tens of thousands of sword tablets stood on the snowfield like towering ancient trees, each tablet recording ancient sword dao supreme arts.
But at this moment, these stone tablets were slowly moving, and the words on the tablets turned into blood-red dragons winding on the snow. Swords were hidden within the tablets. Only by understanding the sword techniques on the tablets could one possibly break them and obtain the swords inside.
The more powerful the sword, the more difficult it was to comprehend.
It not only required comprehension, but also serendipity.
