The entire Sword Sect was resisting Lu Yin because he was an outsider. If it had been someone from the Sword Sect who had unified the Innerverse, they would not have been so resistant. But now, the Sword Sect had formed a will under external pressure, and they would rather die than live in disgrace. Liu Qianjue was the controller of this will, and now that the Liu Emperor's sword had appeared, Liu Qianjue would definitely be shaken, and so would this will.
However, this was only the first step. Lu Yin had set the location of the battle in the Sword Sect in order to completely destroy the Sword Sect's will to resist. Absolute power was not enough, and even someone with a power level in the millions would not be able to do so. The Sword Sect had vowed to resist to the death, and this was what cultivators were like. There was only one thing that could destroy their will: swordsmanship.
The Sword Sect was most proud of their swordsmanship, and it was also what united them. They considered themselves the emperors of the sword, and the only thing that could obtain their recognition and destroy their will was swordsmanship as well.
Lu Yin looked at Liu Tianmu seriously. "The Sword Sect's Thirteen Swords is famous throughout the universe. I'm not talented enough, but I would like to experience it with my swordsmanship."
Liu Tianmu's eyes went wide, as everyone could hear the provocation in Lu Yin's words. The Sword Sect disciples were even more furious.
Liu Tianmu did not hesitate and slashed out with the First Sword of the Thirteen Swords. Lu Yin also attacked with the exact same posture. He raised his sword and slashed down with the First Sword of the Thirteen Swords.
The swords collided in the void with a loud bang, and the entire space was sliced in two. Sword qi collided with sword qi, creating a sharp aura that swept through the entire plaza.
The spectators hurriedly retreated and looked over in shock. Many rubbed their eyes, wondering if they had seen wrongly. Had Lu Yin just used the Thirteen Swords?
The Sword Sect disciples were all speechless, unable to believe their eyes. Thirteen Swords?
Liu Qianjue took a step forward and stared at Lu Yin. That's right, it was the Thirteen Swords. This kid actually knew the Thirteen Swords?
How could this be? Only one person in the entire Sword Sect had ever received the inheritance of the Thirteen Swords, and there were two of the most outstanding people in this generation. But how did this kid know it?
Had he received the inheritance of the Thirteen Swords?
Impossible, the Thirteen Swords did not exist in the outside world.
Liu Qianqiu's eyes narrowed. The Thirteen Swords!
"It's fake, right? Senior apprentice-brother, that's not the Thirteen Swords, right?" The Sword Sect disciple's voice was hoarse.
"Of course it's fake! How could an outsider possibly know the Thirteen Swords? This Lu Yin is despicable! He's using his absolute power to forcefully imitate the Thirteen Swords! His power level surpasses Eldest Senior Sister's, and he's using that to make up for his lack of sword techniques. Despicable."
"Lu Yin is despicable, he imitated the Thirteen Swords!"
"Despicable."
"Despicable."
"Despicable."
…
Lu Yin withdrew his hand and looked around. Despicable?
He smiled. The more they shouted, the more it proved that they cared about the Thirteen Swords and were unwilling to admit that he had used the Thirteen Swords. The Thirteen Swords was the Sword Sect's most invincible sword technique, but it was also the Sword Sect's greatest flaw.
Liu Tianmu stared at Lu Yin in shock. There was a wound on her arm, but it wasn't deep. It couldn't even be considered a light injury. However, she had been defeated in the first strike.
Liu Tianmu attacked again. His second sword was a domain sword. Many people had domains, and the invisible domain had completely surpassed Liu Tianmu's. However, the strength of a domain did not mean that it could be used in conjunction with a sword technique.
The second sword was a domain sword technique unique to the Sword Sect's Thirteen Swords.
Lu Yin attacked at the same time as Liu Tianmu, using a domain sword.
Another wound appeared on Liu Tianmu's arm. She had been defeated again. She had been defeated by the domain sword.
Ten more.
The third sword caused the disciples of the Sword Sect to shout even louder. "Despicable."
"Despicable."
…
The third sword, the fourth sword, and the fifth sword all combined man and sword, sword and domain, man and sword as one. As Liu Tianmu slashed out, Lu Yin raised his hand at the same time and slashed out with the same fifth sword. He didn't heavily injure Liu Tianmu, and each strike only left a slight mark on Liu Tianmu's body. His goal was to force Liu Tianmu to unleash sword after sword.
He had fused with Liu Huang, and he had seen and experienced the Thirteen Swords. If he had used it alone, he might not have been able to use it so smoothly. However, it was different with Liu Tianmu as a template. Lu Yin was confident that he could use the Thirteen Swords in its entirety and completely destroy the Sword Sect's will.
Liu Qianjue's face paled. He had thought of this, but he couldn't stop it. He had never imagined that Lu Yin would know the Thirteen Swords. It was no wonder why he had set the location of the battle at the Sword Sect. He wanted to completely destroy the Sword Sect.
"Tianmu, don't compare the Thirteen Swords with him," Liu Qianjue transmitted to Liu Tianmu.
But how could Liu Tianmu give up? She was also a disciple of the Sword Sect, and she didn't want to believe that Lu Yin had truly comprehended the Thirteen Swords. This was a challenge to her faith, and she couldn't back down. The seventh sword, eighth sword, ninth sword, and tenth sword.
Lu Yin slashed out with Severing Stars, and it was exactly the same as Liu Tianmu's. Even the power was the same.
The space around the sword formation plaza was cut apart.
Liu Tianmu directly used the eleventh sword, Sourcesplitter.
Lu Yin raised his hand, Sourcesplitter.
The disciples of the Sword Sect were no longer shouting. Even an idiot could see that Lu Yin had truly used the Thirteen Swords, the complete Thirteen Swords.
Liu Shaoqiu's face paled, and he felt like the world was collapsing around him.
He could accept losing to Lu Yin, and he could accept being left far behind by Lu Yin. He could even accept that he would never be able to catch up to Lu Yin in this lifetime. However, he absolutely could not accept that Lu Yin had learned the Thirteen Swords. Moreover, it was the complete Thirteen Swords. He had completely surpassed him.
Many of the Sword Sect's disciples looked at Lu Yin with complicated expressions. Every time Lu Yin used a sword, their despair increased.
Li Zimo also had a complicated expression. Even though he had been sent to the Sword Sect by Lu Yin, it was impossible for him to be emotionless after being in the Sword Sect for so long. He had also been influenced by the Thirteen Swords and felt that they were similar to the disciples of the Sword Sect. He didn't believe that an outsider could learn it. But now, Lu Yin had actually used it, which was a huge blow to him, let alone the other disciples.
When Lu Yin used the twelfth sword, one of the Sword Sect's disciples loosened his grip, and his sword fell to the ground with a soft thump. It was a very soft sound, but it was like a thunderclap. Liu Qianjue knew that Lu Yin had destroyed the will of all the Sword Sect's disciples. The Sword Sect was powerless against Lu Yin.
At that moment, Liu Qianjue seemed to have aged greatly.
Liu Tianmu closed her eyes. There were twelve wounds on her body, which meant that she had lost twelve swords.
That person had really used the Thirteen Swords. Was he a monster?
Lu Yin exhaled. He had successfully used the Thirteen Swords. Fortunately, there was still one last sword left.
Liu Tianmu suddenly opened her eyes, raised her sword, and slashed horizontally. This was the Thirteenth Sword.
Lu Yin was just about to use it when a strange feeling spread from the bottom of his heart. In an instant, everything around him changed. The spectators were no longer from the Fifth Mainland, but rather the rulers of the Astral Tree's Four Way Scale. "Lu family bastard, I didn't expect you to still be alive."
"Lu family bastard, your Lu family should be exiled."
"Lu family bastard.
If you don't want to cause a civil war, then kill yourself. "
"Lu family bastard …"
"Lu family bastard …"
…
Lu Yin stood in place. He finally understood why Liu Tianmu had dared to challenge him, and why Liu Guai had gone crazy. Liu Guai's Thirteenth Sword was different from the others.
The Thirteenth Sword was known as the Sword of Emotions. Emotions could be transformed into a sword, whether it was family, love, or friendship. Humans could not be emotionless, and even emotionless emotions were emotions. Thus, the Thirteenth Sword could not be avoided. Liu Guai's Thirteenth Sword had deviated. His Thirteenth Sword was not a slash, but rather a lure. It drew out the most hateful emotions in a person's heart.
It was no wonder that Liu Guai had gone crazy; he had been driven crazy by his own Thirteenth Sword.
Unfortunately, even though the Thirteenth Sword could draw out the deepest hatred in Lu Yin's heart, it could not cause him to fall into a trance. He had even learned the Daynight's Tribute, and that trance was similar to Liu Guai's Thirteenth Sword.
For many years, the Daynight clan and the Sword Sect had been fighting for first place in the Innerverse, which was quite interesting. The Daynight clan had the Daynight's Tribute, but no one had learned it. The Sword Sect had Liu Guai's Thirteenth Sword, but no one had learned it either.
Hold on, Lu Yin suddenly thought of something. If Liu Guai's Thirteenth Sword was really like this, then why did others think that he had learned it?
He must have really learned the Thirteenth Sword, but this sword … No, this sword … Could it be the Fourteenth Sword?
Liu Guai had failed to cultivate the Fourteenth Sword in seclusion, but he had succeeded in cultivating it in Earth's Swamp. Liu Guai had also comprehended the Fourteenth Sword, but he had managed to cultivate this move, which had driven him crazy. It had also caused the Sword Sect to seal itself, which had resulted in heavy losses.
This was the Fourteenth Sword, Liu Guai's Fourteenth Sword.
Lu Yin raised his head to look at Liu Tianmu, and their eyes met. Liu Tianmu seemed to be in a daze, and her body swayed a few times before collapsing to the ground. She only had the strength for one sword, and when she had challenged Lu Yin, she had already decided that Lu Yin would not make the first move. Furthermore, Lu Yin had once ignored the Thirteenth Sword, so she wanted to use this sword technique of Liu Guai's.
No matter how strong a person was, their most basic emotions were difficult to control. She had gambled on this, hoping to use Liu Guai's sword technique to draw out the deepest hatred in Lu Yin's heart and cause him to go crazy like Liu Guai had in the past.
If Liu Guai went crazy, he would be destroyed by the Sword Sect. If Lu Yin went crazy, the Sword Sect and the others would all act, and no one would be able to say anything even if they destroyed him.
Outside the sword array plaza, everyone was silent, as they could not understand this sword technique.
Liu Qianjue and a few others knew, and they all stared at Lu Yin. Go crazy, go crazy, go crazy!
Unfortunately, they had all failed. The sword in Lu Yin's hand disappeared, and he turned to look at Liu Qianjue with a slight smile.
Liu Qianjue's heart sank, and he closed his eyes. Had he failed?
Liu Shaoqiu leapt into the sword array plaza and picked up Liu Tianmu to examine her.
"Don't worry, she won't be able to comprehend that sword technique in just a few days. She's only used it, so she hasn't gone crazy yet."
Liu Shaoqiu looked at Lu Yin in disbelief. "How did you learn the Thirteen Swords?"
Lu Yin smiled. "I learned it from watching you guys use it often. Actually, I'm very talented with the sword, and I like it very much."
Liu Shaoqiu was speechless for a moment, as there seemed to be no other reason besides this.
Everyone who heard Lu Yin's words were speechless. Just because he saw it, he could learn it? Just because he saw it, he could learn it?
Then what about all the disciples of the Sword Sect and the countless people who had died at the hands of the Thirteen Swords over the years?
Were they all idiots?
