Flaming Sword Qi

Chapter 114 Flaming Sword Qi

Mo Zheng watched his opponent's swordsmanship intently; he could feel the terror of that strike.

The great being before them, known as "Blue," did not use his own power, but merely displayed the skill of his swordsmanship.

Even so, the powerful sword intent intertwined with wind and fire still exceeded Mo Zheng's imagination of the realm of martial arts.

If Mo Zheng's Gale Sword Technique is a violent force capable of snapping several large trees in half, then the Gale Blade Intent contained in this strike is like a raging typhoon sweeping across the entire ocean, capable of unleashing a massive tsunami and utterly annihilating a nation or a continent!

However, the fiery intent contained within it is comparable to the Gale Blade Intent, almost like a raging fire that would set this entire world ablaze. With the support of the Gale Blade Intent, its power continues to rise!

Wind and fire—this is the true essence of wind and fire!

In this possessed state, Mo Zheng felt as if he were performing every strike Qing made, experiencing every minute detail deeply and remembering it firmly.

Soon after, Qing unleashed his fourth strike.

As the longsword pointed, an invisible blade of energy suddenly slashed out. That blade of energy was incredibly fast and exploded upon landing.

Bang bang bang bang————

In an instant, Mo Zheng felt as if he heard the sound of a firecracker exploding, but it was also as if he heard the sound of thousands of firecrackers exploding.

The invisible blade energy wasn't very powerful; it left a blade mark no more than a foot long where it landed.

However, the knife marks were so deep that it was difficult to see the bottom.

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!

Because of the possession, Mo Zheng felt the power of this strike with perfect clarity.

Although "Qing" didn't use any power, he still displayed incredible external martial arts skills!

When this invisible blade of energy struck down, it was simultaneously superimposed with one hundred and thirty-two layers of invisible force.

What appeared to be a single strike was actually the simultaneous eruption of 132 overlapping forces, which explained the illusion of the sound Mo Zheng had just heard.

One hundred and thirty-two layers of invisible force!

Mo Zheng could hardly imagine how formidable he would be if he mastered this sword technique, and who could withstand a single strike from him?

Based on the principle that each strike of Qing's sword is stronger than the last, could this fourth strike correspond to the Martial Saint?

A thousand thoughts flashed through Mo Zheng's mind, but at that moment, Qing, who was possessing him, unleashed his fifth strike.

A strong wind suddenly arose all around!

Fire! Flames appeared on the grassland!

Within a radius of a thousand feet, a sudden gale arose, and a raging fire broke out. The wind fueled the fire, and the fire intensified the wind's power. All of this stemmed from the fifth strike!

Qing simply unleashed this slash, but Mo Zheng felt that this slash had drawn upon the power of heaven and earth. The power of heaven and earth within a radius of a thousand feet was completely mobilized by his slash!

Although Qing's strength could easily achieve this, he did not use any of his own internal power at this moment; he was simply demonstrating his swordsmanship.

The power contained in that simple slash was probably no different from that of an ordinary person. However, it was this tiny bit of power that stirred up all the power of heaven and earth within a radius of a thousand feet!

This strike is interwoven with the laws and principles of heaven and earth, containing a profound swordsmanship that Mo Zheng simply cannot comprehend!

With such a weak power, he commands such a vast amount of heaven and earth power. Mo Zheng can hardly imagine how terrifying the power of heaven and earth power the person he possesses would be if he mobilized his own power!

Compared to this strike, the previous strikes were like child's play.

"Is this... truly a level that humans can reach?"

Mo Zheng pondered the five strikes his opponent had unleashed. Each strike represented a level of external martial arts skill. The first four strikes were like building momentum, while the fifth strike was an instant burst of power!

Both the raging wind and the fierce fire of the sword are perfectly integrated into this sword technique.

With a swift movement of the long green blade, the terrifying gale and raging fire between heaven and earth were instantly extinguished.

The young man was already engrossed in the mystery of the five strikes, his eyes filled with intoxication.

Qing did not stop, and continued to perform this set of sword techniques from the beginning.

The two sword intents, raging wind and raging fire, were perfectly integrated into his sword technique. With one strike after another, Mo Zheng was deeply immersed in the sword technique and forgot himself.

The terrifying sword intent, where wind and fire complement each other; the terrifying layering of force in hundreds of layers; and that miraculous strike that directly mobilized the power of heaven and earth—

This is a powerful sword technique that far surpasses the Wind and Fire Qi Sword!

Qing performed the technique three times in a row, then sheathed his sword and stood up.

At that very moment, Mo Zheng's consciousness suddenly broke free from the person's body and rose rapidly upwards—

Layers of illusory images flashed before his eyes, constantly changing, and soon entered his body.

Upon closer inspection, there was no longer any grassland, nor any green grass or the young man.

weak----

They are too weak.

Upon returning to his own body, Mo Zheng immediately felt uncomfortable.

His consciousness controlled an immense amount of power within Qing's body—a supreme force capable of destroying heaven and earth in an instant—but now, he only had this much internal energy—

"Innate life form?"

Recalling what Qing had said, and adding the text he had read when he passed the two trials, Mo Zheng knew perfectly well that a martial artist of his level was merely a mortal being.

"According to Qing, if one comprehends his fifth strike, one can probably break through and achieve the Innate Life Form."

However, Mo Zheng was far from that level. He had only grasped the essence of Gale, and had not even mastered the essence of Blazing Fire, let alone the subsequent stacking of energy and mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.

There probably isn't any such thing as innate life in this world.

"No wonder, this Haotian Secret Realm is the fundamental secret realm of the Huntian Sect. Such rewards are only for the second level; what about the third level?"

Mo Zheng had high expectations for the next challenge.

Clearly, in this secret realm, each level is more difficult than the last, but the rewards are also better with each level.

This single martial arts enlightenment not only revealed the essence of raging winds and blazing fire, but also reached an even higher level. Mo Zheng was unsure whether he could cultivate to that level.

Moreover, this kind of martial arts enlightenment is not something that others demonstrate in front of you, but something that you personally experience, clearly feeling every bit of force exerted and every posture. It truly allows you to unleash that power, which is equivalent to allowing you to break through a barrier in advance.

Once you return to your true self, the difficulty of breaking through to that level will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

No wonder the Cold Sword Martial Saint praised it as an opportunity to break through to the Martial Saint level!

It's too precious.

Compared to this opportunity, killing those three silver-armored soldiers was simply insignificant.

Mo Zheng looked up at the light screen in front of him. The words on it had changed: "Examinee, do you choose to continue with the third test? If you give up, you can leave along the way you came. If you choose to continue, you will continue forward. You have three days to consider."

The content revealed after passing the first level is almost identical, but there are some subtle differences.

For example, it doesn't mention that you can't give up or quit once you enter the third level.

"The danger of the third challenge, climbing the Heavenly Ladder, should be much less than that of the second challenge, but it should also be much more difficult," Mo Zheng muttered to himself. Tens of thousands of examinees had passed the first challenge, but by the time of the second challenge, it had become only a few hundred people. The difficulty of the third challenge would definitely increase dramatically.

However, since the Cold Sword Martial Saint knew the inside story of the third level, the Heavenly Ladder, it means he must have tried to pass it.

He's still alive and well, which shows that the danger of death there wasn't like the second level where failing to pass would mean certain death.

If he dares to take risks, then Mo Zheng will naturally dare to take risks too!

"There are still three days left, so there's no rush to climb the Heavenly Ladder. I can use this time to digest the martial arts insights I just gained."

Mo Zheng recalled the insights he gained while possessing Qing's body, and immediately put the Hearing Sound into his treasure pouch, then took out another sword.

hum!

The temperature in the entire corridor suddenly rose significantly. A long sword with a black and red body and an ancient design fell into Mo Zheng's hand. It was none other than the divine weapon, Crimson Flame!

This was the first time Mo Zheng had held this divine weapon in his hand since obtaining it.

The divine weapon was warm to the touch, and the faint flames swirling around the blade did not cause any burning sensation. Instead, they made Mo Zheng feel warm all over, which was extremely comfortable.

"Divine Weapon Crimson Flame—"

As Mo Zheng held this divine weapon, he felt an incredibly terrifying explosive power contained within it. Although it was dormant, it far surpassed the internal energy within his body.

call out!

He channeled his inner energy and casually waved his hand, instantly sending a fiery sword aura piercing through the air!

boom!

The terrifying sword energy struck the wall, which was glowing with a faint white light, leaving a deep sword mark. Dark red flames continued to burn on the wall.

Buzzing—

A white light flashed around the walls, slowly healing the sword mark. However, the healing was very, very slow due to the obstruction of the dark red flames.

After about four or five breaths, the dark red flames without a source extinguished themselves, and the wall returned to its original state.

"What a magnificent crimson divine weapon!"

Upon witnessing such power, Mo Zheng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, as this was the first time he had tested the weapon's strength.

With his current strength, the internal energy he unleashed only brought out a small portion of the power contained within this divine weapon, but the purity and destructive power of that fiery sword energy were several times greater than the sword energy he unleashed with the Hearing Sword.

In addition, the flames attached to it, known as Heavenly Fire, are said to be able to burn even the body of a Beast King, according to the letter left by the Yuan Sect Master. One can imagine its power against ordinary martial artists. A single sword aura of flame could burn them to ashes in an instant. It is definitely an essential divine weapon for killing and arson.

Mo Zheng looked at the dark red divine weapon in his hand, his heart filled with joy. This trip to Hun Tian Mountain had yielded tremendous gains.

Divine weapons and treasures would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength.

But the most important thing was the martial arts enlightenment he gained this time. He wasn't confident that he could reach the level of drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, but he was somewhat confident in unleashing the stacked force in the fourth move.

Thinking of his insights into martial arts, Mo Zheng immediately used the Crimson Flame Divine Weapon to unleash the Blazing Fire Sword from the Wind and Fire Qi Sword Technique.

The Blazing Fire Sword's set of sword moves may seem ordinary, but it contains profound mysteries of subtlety, unity, and even artistic conception. However, without understanding it, the moves are merely empty gestures without any real power.

Holding the Crimson Flame Divine Weapon, Mo Zheng practiced the Fiery Sword technique move by move, feeling the subtle changes within it, and constantly comparing it with the Fiery Sword Intent in Qing's third strike.

His swordplay was very slow, very slow—

At first glance, it was just that the sword moves were precise, the power was controlled at will, and the mastery was exquisite. However, after performing it twice, the crimson divine weapon began to emit soft humming sounds, merging with Mo Zheng's aura, making the man and the sword perfectly compatible.

The sword moves gradually became faster and faster, their momentum incredibly powerful, like a raging fire, unleashing their full power!

If anyone had witnessed this process, they would have been astonished, for in that short span of time, the man and his sword had mastered the subtle external martial arts and rapidly evolved into the unity realm.

It should be understood that many martial artists may not be able to master the Unity Realm in their entire lives, and this is also true for disciples of the Martial Arts Hall.

In that short moment, they witnessed his external martial arts realm break through like a rocket. What extraordinary talent!

Within the secret realm, there is no sunrise or sunset, nor are there any sun, moon, or stars; no one knows how time passes.

The man and his sword practiced the fiery sword moves from the Wind and Fire Sword Technique repeatedly.

With each strike, the sword's momentum, like a raging fire, grew even more intense, and the man and the sword became even more perfectly in sync.

I don't know how many times I went through it.

The figure suddenly sat cross-legged, the Crimson Flame Divine Sword lying quietly in front of him, and remained motionless.

In another corridor.

"Sunburn Fruit —"

Dressed in white and wielding two pistols, Lan Jun gazed at the golden fruit that floated before him, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, this peerless genius, nicknamed "Deadly Gun," was completely soaked in sweat and panting heavily. Clearly, the difficulty of this first challenge was not small for him.

"These silver-robed swordsmen are getting stronger and stronger; they're too difficult to deal with."

Lan Jun was still shaken by the battle. At first, he didn't take the twelve silver-robed swordsmen seriously, but they grew stronger and stronger as he fought, making it increasingly difficult for him.

Just as he was preparing to use his agility to evade the encirclement and speed through the obstacle, the last person he killed happened to be the one who determined the fate of all the swordsmen, thus allowing him to successfully pass the obstacle.

He accepted the hard-won Sunfire Fruit and felt its warmth. Even though he was usually cold-hearted, he couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

"Unfortunately, the teacher wouldn't let me proceed to the next level, otherwise, I really wanted to see what the next level was like—"

Lan Jun looked at the content on the subtitles in front of him, somewhat reluctant, but thinking of his teacher's stern instructions and the troublesome twelve silver-robed swordsmen, he remained silent for a long time before finally turning around and leaving.

Even without the help of this secret realm, he was confident that he could break through to the Martial Saint realm, so why risk his life?

Not only him, but also the other disciples in the corridors, such as Qian Zhongyou and Zhou Xian, turned around and went back the way they came after passing the first test. No one tried the second test.

No one would question the words of the Cold Sword Martial Saint, and these important disciples had already been repeatedly instructed by their masters.

Mo Zheng was the only exception.

His strength is already beyond the concern of his teachers; the test of the Bone and Tendon Realm level cannot stop him at all.
