Chapter 424: Chapter 209: Nurturing the Sword through Battle_2

But by now, he suddenly paused for unknown reasons.

It felt as if those two fingers weighed a thousand catties, forcing him to slowly push forward.

But as he ’thrusted’ the sword, his expression suddenly changed.

The change was extremely complex—hatred, loss, joy, confusion, helplessness, loneliness… a medley of emotions condensed into one, yet constantly shifting tumultuously.

Eventually, he finally managed to ’point’ it out.

But after pointing it out, his eyes returned to looking confused.

The confusion was fleeting, and the next moment turned vacant.

In that moment, the shadows of swords in the field surged vigorously towards the sky.

The Third Palace Master is ultimately the Third Palace Master. Liu Suifeng’s sword, though already containing the essence of precisions, had indeed improved significantly with the Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword.

However, the Third Palace Master did not lose to that sword strike like the several predecessors.

With a turn of the sword’s edge, denser layers of Sword Qi emerged.

The two ascended into the air in unison, their swords liberating lights, crisscrossing through the void.

Su Mo saw this and finally gave a slight frown.

At this point, Liu Suifeng’s Swordsmanship had finally returned to the sphere he was familiar with.

Just now, his sword strike, though stripped of all flamboyance, was divinely sophisticated.

The Third Palace Master pointed the Star Pointing, which was undoubtedly formidable.

Yet, in the realm of Mental Stage, she had lost by half a move.

Now, it seems Liu Suifeng indeed had made progress, but for the time being, he had only managed to evolve another move from the Sixteen Forms of Heavenly Rainbow Heart Sword, the rest remained just as before.

In this bout where the sword lights flourished, the two seemed to have subtly fallen into disadvantage.

Yun Jiuying truly is a rare genius in Lengyue Palace over a century.

At sixteen, she mastered the Flying Star Sword Technique, her knowledge already interwoven and thorough.

If she hadn’t been locked away by love, self-confined in the Hanxi Building for twenty years.

Her achievements would not be just what they are now.

And at this moment, as the long swords clashed, the two moved from the ground up to mid-air, and from mid-air to the rooftops.

The sword moves unraveling, strategic thoughts transforming, every move was beyond anyone’s expectations, each strike uniquely ingenious.

For a while, everyone present watched intently, unable to turn away.

Su Mo leaned back in his chair, his gaze shifting over the long swords of the two combatants.

After a long while, he softly exhaled, and then Little Situ’s voice came to his ears:

“Lord Su, have you discerned the intricacies?”

“Hmm?”

Su Mo smiled, “Little Situ, your martial arts are strong, I presume you have seen something?”

“To be honest, both their martial arts are far superior to mine, and when it comes to swordsmanship, given my limited talent, I have scarcely come into contact.

“I have learned nothing up to this point.”

Little Situ shook his head slightly, “Lord Su is a master of swordsmanship, I was hoping to seek some advice.”

Su Mo pondered for a moment before speaking:

“The Third Palace Master has excellent swordsmanship and profound Inner Strength.

“The only flaw lies in her lack of combat over the past twenty years, slightly weak in practical experience.

“In contrast, Liu Suifeng’s Inner Strength might not match hers, thus he compensates with swordsmanship looping and a strong practical foundation, making them a close match just now.”

“Who do you favor more?”

Little Situ couldn’t help but ask.

But right after asking, he regretted it. This was Lengyue Palace after all—wasn’t asking this akin to grilling Su Mo on the spot?

He quickly changed his words, “I asked foolishly, don’t mind me.”

Su Mo just smiled, not taking it to heart, but occasionally he looked up, his brows slightly furrowed:

“Before this, I would have said the Third Palace Master’s martial arts were superior to Liu Suifeng’s.

“She would surely win!

“However, as of now…”

Su Mo gently shook his head, “Do you know who the man was that entered Dongcheng with a sword, challenging the Seven Great Sects, whose blade pointed directly at Tianqu City?”

“I would love to listen in detail.”

Su Mo then recounted Liu Suifeng’s past.

The Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword, battle after battle, defeat upon defeat, yet each defeat followed by another challenge.

Liu Suifeng underwent several retreats, forcibly refining the Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword into sixteen forms.

Since then, sweeping across the Southwest, few could stand against him.

Even though he entered Dongcheng with this blade, compared to this once-in-a-century genius of Lengyue Palace, he was only slightly inferior.

Listening in, Little Situ became captivated, but after hearing it all, he couldn’t help but ask:

“So, Lord Su, are you suggesting that, in this battle, Liu Suifeng has a greater chance of winning?”

“Undoubtedly victorious…”

Su Mo softly sighed, he too had only just come to understand.

Liu Suifeng challenging the Seven Great Sects was because he had reached a bottleneck.

The Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword in his palm indeed had changes, further refined, but sadly, at this point, continuing as he had before in isolation was absolutely impossible.

Thus, upon receiving Wan Cangxin’s invitation, he boldly challenged the Seven Great Sects.

Relying on the masters from the sects to nourish his sword through battle.

The previous move was not yet perfected, and now, as the two progressed with their techniques.

Liu Suifeng was gradually reversing the tide, especially during this bout, accumulating Sword Intent.

Just waiting for this Sword Intent to peak, the ensuing strike will undoubtedly be another advancement.

And this strike… The Third Palace Master might very well be unable to withstand it.

Indeed, just as Su Mo had predicted, as his words fell, the two leapt back onto the Wangyue Platform.

Each raising their sword glow, Yun Jiuying, the Third Palace Master, unfolded her longsword, thousands of sword glimmers like bright moonlight, hanging high in the sky, illuminating all directions.
