“Order! Slash! Charge!” Zhou Yun’s figure flickered wildly on the rugged rocks! His fingers formed a spiritual token and controlled the Fire Dragon Sword in the air to charge at a strange speed!
“Now!” Zhou Yun bellowed as he suddenly squatted down. With a stomp of his legs, he leaped into the air!
The rock that he had been standing on was surrounded by several spiritual corpses in the next moment!
Each of these spiritual corpses was at the late stage of the foundation establishment! They were extremely strong and their bodies were as hard as metal! With just a few punches, the rock that Zhou Yun had been standing on earlier was smashed into pieces!
“Fire Dragon Sword! Go!” Zhou Yun did not look at the spiritual corpse on the ground. He did not summon back his Fire Dragon Sword and flew on it. His entire body was lifted up by a breeze. He stood upright in the air as if he was standing on flat ground!
With Zhou Yun’s command, the Fire Dragon Sword sped into the distance at an even faster speed! The Fire Dragon Sword’s target was a handsome man carrying a sword. It was Jian Xin!
“In just five days, you’ve mastered the air control technique and even used your perfected sword intent to avoid the attacks of the slow spiritual corpses. That was until Yellow Dragon used his spiritual sword to attack me, the controller. Junior Brother Zhou Yun, you’ve grown too quickly. No wonder you caught Venerable Xunling’s eye.” Jian Xin watched as Zhou Yun nimbly dodged the spiritual corpse’s attack and then swung his spiritual sword at him. He could not help but reveal a bit of shock on his face.
“However, even though you’ve mastered the air control technique, you’re still lacking in experience due to the lack of time. You still need to think about how to use the air control technique. In a battle in the air, without the protection of a spiritual sword, a sword cultivator is like a fish out of water, a tree without its roots, and is extremely fragile.” As Jian Xin pointed out the shortcomings of Zhou Yun’s strategy, he gently waved his hand and sent the Fire Dragon Sword flying.
In the next moment, Jian Xin held his spiritual sword in his hand and his body moved rapidly, arriving in front of Zhou Yun!
“To be able to attack me with such a method, it proves that you have not given up hope because of the overwhelming difference in strength. However, he was still too impatient. Junior Brother Zhou Yun, how are you going to deal with my attack now?” Jian Xin shook his head. He raised the sword in his hand and slowly swung it down at Zhou Yun!
Zhou Yun frantically used his air control technique to move behind him. At the same time, his fingers trembled violently as he controlled the Fire Dragon Sword that was sent flying!
“No! Even if it’s a great stage air control technique, it’s still lacking in speed compared to the sword control technique. I can’t outrun Jian Xin!” Zhou Yun realized that no matter how hard he tried to escape using the air control technique, Jian Xin, who was holding a spiritual sword, could catch up to him and wave his sword Qi at him!
After chasing in the air for a while, Zhou Yun discovered that the sword that was slowly descending from Jian Xin was actually already about to slash down on his head!
“Collect!” Zhou Yun shouted. His eyes were fixed on the falling sword. With a move of his finger, burning hot Fire Dragon Sword Intent soared into the sky. The perfected sword intent roared and rushed towards Jian Xin in the form of a fire dragon!
“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, even if you have a perfect sword intent, a swordsman without a sword will be much weaker. Moreover, I’m not weak. You should think of a new strategy.” Jian Xin saw that Zhou Yun was so stubborn. He frowned and the spiritual sword in his hand fell, cutting the Fire Sword Intent in half as if he was cutting melons and vegetables!
Seeing that Zhou Yun was still stubborn, Jian Xin was already impatient. He could accept Zhou Yun becoming stronger and growing stronger. However, he could not accept that Zhou Yun was still in the same spot!
Jian Xin condensed spiritual energy in his hand. He planned to knock Zhou Yun out and end this battle!
“Collect!” Zhou Yun saw that the Fire Sword Intent had been dispersed, but he did not give up. His fingers were still moving up and down!
“What do you want to do, Junior Brother Zhou Yun? You’ve already lost!” Jian Xin frowned. He did not understand why Zhou Yun was doing this.
However, at the next moment, Jian Xin was stunned. Then, his body exploded with the aura of a golden core grand cultivator, not of the perfection of the early-stage foundation establishment cultivator!
“Hmph!” A crisp sound came from behind Jian Xin. He turned around and saw that the Fire Dragon Sword was about to stab his waist!
Just as Jian Xin was about to launch his final attack, Zhou Yun finally managed to control the Fire Dragon Sword that had been sent flying back. He and the Fire Dragon Sword were going against Jian Xin from two sides!
“Stop,” he said. Jian Xin stopped the battle, his eyes filled with shock.
As the two of them slowly landed on the ground, the spiritual corpses brought over spiritual fruits, spiritual spring water, and many natural treasures to Zhou Yun’s side for his cultivation.
Zhou Yun did not stand on ceremony. He grabbed the spiritual fruit and took a big bite. Then, he drank a few mouthfuls of spiritual spring water before he recovered from the crazy recovery of the spiritual energy he had consumed in the battle.
“That’s a pretty good way of thinking. I didn’t expect that even when I suppressed my cultivation to the same level as you, I would still lose.” Jian Xin watched as Zhou Yun recovered his spiritual energy and rested for a moment before he spoke. His eyes were still filled with disbelief.
“Within the five sects, I’m the strongest heaven’s favorite, followed by Su Lingyun. I’m not exaggerating. When I was at the early-stage foundation establishment, I could even kill a hundred late-stage foundation establishment cultivators with my eyes closed. Because I was born with a sword spiritual body, I was born with a moderate stage sword intent. When I was at the foundation establishment stage, my sword intent was already perfected, and my sword Dao was smooth.” Jian Xin explained in detail. there was no trace of pride on his face, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
“But I didn’t expect that I would fall into your trap, Junior Brother.” Jian Xin picked up a spiritual fruit and handed it to Zhou Yun.
“Your innate ability is average, but you were able to break through the legendary tenth layer of Qi cultivation and be reborn. Moreover, you even comprehended the perfect sword intent at the early-stage foundation establishment and mastered the great stage of sword control technique. Now, you have also mastered the great stage of air control technique within five days. Compared to you, I’m just a cultivator who only knows how to use the sword.” Jian Xin said.
Zhou Yun did not stop eating. The battle between him and Jian Xin had been going on for two months!
Every time they fought, he would only receive such spiritual fruits and spiritual spring water if he got the upper hand. If he failed, he would have to eat something even worse!
Zhou Yun ate without any reservations, absorbing the spiritual energy from the spiritual fruit to refine his body.
Each of these spiritual fruits would cost at least a thousand spiritual stones in the outside world. Naturally, Zhou Yun would not be pretentious!
“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, I hope that you can become stronger and escape from the hands of this heretic cultivator. Therefore, let me, your senior brother, help you block a few more moves from your previous set of moves.” Jian Xin continued after seeing that Zhou Yun had almost finished his meal.
“Alright,” he said. Zhou Yun was also shocked by Jian Xin’s words. After all, he had known Su Lingyun and Jian Xin’s condition in the past two months.
Jian Xin was not the main body, and Su Lingyun was even less so!
After all, Jian Xin and Su Lingyun were just mortals from a remote village. After they were killed by the heretic cultivator, the heretic cultivator used their remnant souls to control them.
However, even though it was said to be manipulation, it was only a ban. To a large extent, they were still free people.
It was just like how Su Lingyun was in the Spirit Valley.
Therefore, Zhou Yun was sick of hearing Jian Xin telling him to escape from time to time.
“If I’m not wrong, the Fire Dragon Sword that you used just now is another use of the perfected sword intent, right? ” Jian Xin said with a smile.
