Although I didn't have much contact with sword cultivators, from the aura that Zhao Han exuded, I knew that his technique wasn't simple. Hence, I used the Heavenly Spirit Nine Steps at once.
The seal formed by a Seal Heavenly Master had the effect of increasing one's cultivation. This was why I had summoned the seal from the start. Adding on the boost from the Heavenly Dipper Nine Steps, even though my cultivation was slightly lower than Zhao Han's, being only at the mid-stage of Seal Heavenly Master, with the four-word seal and the Heavenly Dipper Nine Steps, my battle prowess was almost equal to Zhao Han's, or even slightly stronger.
Hence, no matter how strange his technique was, it was impossible for him to defeat me with just one move.
The One Word Mantra was the most commonly used technique by a Heaven Master. It was also known as the law of words. Just as I said that, a formless power surged towards Zhao Han.
The 'suppress' word mantra was derived from a magic tool like a paperweight. It had the intent of suppressing.
Thus, as soon as Zhao Han came into contact with the invisible force, his body became sluggish. Even the black True Essence that was floating outside could not help but shrink inward, and like armor, it stuck tightly to his body.
The lightning that was initially faintly discernible became extremely violent. It seemed to be expressing its dissatisfaction at being suppressed and was resisting.
Zhao Han and Zhao Hao were cousins. They could be considered as direct descendants of the Xuande Grotto-Heaven. Naturally, they weren't easy to get along with.
Although the One Word Mantra was mystical, it was just a normal technique of a Heaven Master. In front of the Grotto-Heaven that had been passed down for hundreds of years, it wasn't worth mentioning. I didn't know what technique he used, but in less than three seconds, he broke free from the mantra's restraints. The black cloud that was formed by True Essence spread outwards once again. In no time, it reached my feet. As the lightning flashed, there was an explosive and dangerous aura.
Right at that moment, Zhao Han's figure finally appeared from the black cloud.
After breaking free from the restriction of the incantation, his movements didn't show the slightest pause. His right foot touched the ground, and with the support of his true essence, he leapt into the air. He raised the greatsword in his hand and heavily chopped towards me. The ridicule on his face became more and more apparent. He grinned at me and said, "You're only so-so!"
Zhao Han's movements looked slow, as though the huge sword in his hand had slowed him down. He could even fall to the ground at any moment. However, the sword's momentum was really fast. He had just swung his sword in the air, but I felt an ancient and heavy aura coming at me. It was like a strong gust of wind that forced me to retreat.
I smiled faintly and gestured with my hands. "Is that so?"
In the next second, a small and exquisite seal appeared in the sky above Zhao Han. With a crushing aura, it pressed down heavily on him.
It was as if Zhao Han's body had been electrocuted, and he suddenly lost all his strength. He couldn't even lift that huge sword anymore. Accompanied by an explosive sound, he sank into the arena, sending up a cloud of dust.
After the dust settled, Zhao Han's sorry figure was revealed on the arena, as well as a series of spiderweb-like cracks.
Due to the Qilin's matter yesterday, there were a lot of gazes that were focused on me. Today's match with Zhao Han naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Even though the intense battle was over in a blink of an eye, everyone present was a person with great cultivation. Even if some of them couldn't see the details clearly, they could still guess what had happened.
At that moment, I heard many voices. Some praised me for using the incantation to perfection, some praised the sword techniques of the Xuande Wonderland's Zhao family, but there were also a portion of people that were astonished.
How could there be Xuande Wonderland's sword cultivators in the match between Wangwu Wonderland and Three Emperor Well Wonderland?
I had to admit that Zhao Han was indeed very strong. Putting aside his horrifying Daoist Sword, just based on his true essence cultivation and his background as a sword cultivator, even a Celestial Master with a late stage Seal cultivation might not be his match. The reason why I was able to defeat him was because compared to Zhao Han and his cousin Zhao Hao, I was lacking a brain.
He thought that the method I had prepared for him was only the "suppress" incantation, which was why he was so arrogant after breaking the restriction of the incantation. But in reality, what I had prepared for him was far more than that.
That "suppress" incantation was only a prelude to slow down his speed and stall for time for me. My true power, which had been strengthened by the Celestial Master Seal and the Heavenly Spirit Nine Steps, was completely condensed into the seal in the three seconds that he was restricted by the incantation.
Zhao Han thought that after the incantation was broken, my subordinate would be defenseless and would definitely die under his shocking sword.
But what he didn't expect was that after he broke through the restriction of the incantation, he would be beaten down by my Celestial Master Seal.
The path of sword cultivators had always been focused on the existence of sharpness, and what they pursued was the supreme realm of one sword to break all techniques. On this point, no matter if it was little Ah Mo's already dead master, or his parents that were refined into sword servants, or even Zhao Hao who was the head of Xuande Wonderland, they were no exception.
But this Zhao Han was different. Although his sword had that kind of unstoppable momentum, it had more of an ancient and heavy aura, which was extremely strange.
I couldn't figure out what Zhao Hao would do next, but it was better to maintain a distance.
Thinking about that, I retreated a few steps and kept the Celestial Master Seal back into my body, and took out the armor removing sword that I had exchanged with Cang Feng from Xiang Liu's body.
Although the Celestial Master Seal was mystical, but it was also the foundation of cultivation. Even though I had used the power of the Celestial Master Seal to injure Zhao Han, but it also made me understand how outstanding Zhao Han was.
So, in order to prevent too much damage from the next battle and affect the next battle, it was better for me to keep the Celestial Master Seal.
Zhao Han took this opportunity to stand up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the armor removing sword in my hand. "That's right, that's right.
Zhao Hao said that you also use a sword, so it's best for me to force you to take out your sword and have a good fight with you. "
Sword?
I looked at the armor removing sword in my hand. What did Zhao Hao mean by forcing me to take out my sword?
I shook my head and decided to deal with Zhao Han first.
I shook the armor removing sword and said to him, "I indeed use a sword, but I don't know if my sword or your sword is stronger."
When Zhao Han saw my armor removing sword, he wasn't surprised. It was obvious that he already knew that the armor removing sword was in my hands.
He raised the huge sword beside him and said with some arrogance, "This sword is called Great Raven, it is the first famous sword in the hands of the ancient Master Ou Zhi Zi. Even though it isn't as natural as your armor removing sword, it is still one of the famous swords in the world and is a rare treasure.
Moreover, it has been nourished by my Qi and True Essence for many years and is already connected to my mind. It isn't something a kid like you can compare to. "
Saying that, Zhao Han suddenly stopped. He flipped his right hand that was holding the sword and turned the Great Raven sword back to its normal appearance. Then he said again, "Next, I'm going to use my full strength!
Zhou Yi, be careful. Don't become a dead soul under my Great Raven sword! "
Saying that, without waiting for me to react, Zhao Han held the sword with one hand and formed a hand seal with the other.
It was indeed correct to say that I became a monk halfway through. I only came into contact with the sword cultivation after coming to Wangwu Paradise. It was only a few days in total. The reason why I took out the armor removing sword was that it didn't require me to use any sword techniques. I only needed to pour in enough True Essence to be able to erupt with extraordinary power.
Even though I wasn't injured in the fight with Zhao Han, I had consumed a lot of True Essence. That was why I said those words to him. My goal was to stall for time so that I could absorb more True Dragon Qi from the jade bracelet and recover more True Essence.
While I absorbed the True Dragon Qi and converted it into Qi and True Essence to be channeled into the armor removing sword, I observed Zhao Han's movements to deal with his next attack.
Zhao Han's movements were very fast. Following the continuous changes in the sword technique, Great Raven quickly floated in front of him. The black clouds that had disappeared after being struck reappeared.
However, it was different from the previous time. At that moment, they were flickering with electricity and converging towards the Great Raven sword, dyeing the originally black sword like ink. From time to time, one or two dazzling silver lights would jump out, giving off a dangerous aura. Even I couldn't help but become nervous.
Finally, Zhao Han's sword technique was ready. He formed a hand seal with both hands and landed heavily on the bottom of the sword hilt. Then, he growled, as though he was reminding me.
Following that growl, Great Raven shot out. The silver lightning that was originally flickering from time to time grew with the wind, bringing with it the rumbling sound of thunder. It was like a silver ribbon that spiraled around the black sword. However, it was never able to jump more than three feet away from the sword blade.
The sword blade was extremely dark while the lightning was extremely bright white. These two incompatible colors were condensed together by the Great Raven sword. It seemed to be harmonious yet somewhat bewitching. It seemed to have unparalleled power.
Seeing this, I didn't hold back anymore. I once again used the Heavenly Nine Steps to increase my battle prowess. I raised the Armor Removing Sword and slashed three times, releasing three sharp sword auras towards the Great Raven sword.
I had experimented before. When I was at my peak condition, I could release four sword auras using the Armor Removing Sword.
Even though I had consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle, with the recovery of the jade bracelet, I was still far from my peak condition. However, releasing three sword auras in a row was still something that I could barely do.
Zhao Han's Great Raven sword was ferocious. The sword aura produced by the Armor Removing Sword wasn't weak either. With the support of the Heavenly Nine Steps, it instantly appeared in front of the sword tip. In the next second, the first sword aura collided with the Great Raven sword.
There wasn't an earth-shattering sound that I had imagined. There wasn't even a single spark. The instant the sword aura of the Armor Removing Sword clashed with the Great Raven sword, the silver ribbon that was formed from lightning automatically welcomed it. It was like a huge python that opened its mouth and swallowed the sword aura. During the entire process, there wasn't even a ripple, let alone slowing down its speed.
Immediately after, the second sword aura met it. Even though there was still a distance between them, from the performance of the silver python, it definitely wouldn't have much of an effect.
I grabbed the jade bracelet and started to frantically absorb the dragon aura from the True Dragon's Vein. I frantically converted it to prepare for my next move.
Very quickly, the second sword aura was devoured by the python. Apart from slowing down the Great Raven sword, it didn't change anything.
The Great Raven sword was getting closer and closer to me. I could once again feel the ancient and heavy aura from its body.
It was different from the previous time. This ancient and heavy aura was like Mount Tai, as though it could instantly crush me.
