Chapter 559: True Master Wisdom Blade
Shen Xuan suddenly stood up, transforming into a stream of light, directly flying to the harbor.
Holding an array command token, he exited the Grand Array of Myriad Waters Homage, flying straight to a position thirty zhang away from the Purple Robed Daoist, confronting him in mid-air.
"Profound Ice greets Fellow Daoist Wisdom Blade."
Despite these words, Shen Xuan did not bow.
His Divine Sense was constantly locked onto True Master Wisdom Blade.
"Shen Xuan, relying on some trivial achievements, you killed my great-grandson and imprisoned my direct disciple. Seeing me, are you not going to surrender?"
True Master Wisdom Blade’s eyes were full of resentment as he spoke sternly.
Evidently, he harbored deep hatred for Shen Xuan.
Zhao Mingde was his only great-grandson to achieve the Fake Pill.
He had pinned great hopes on him, using him to uphold the family’s reputation.
Shen Xuan sneered disdainfully.
"Zhao Mingde murdered my niece, gravely injured my friend, and launched a Spiritual Energy Cannon to ambush me—his sins are monstrous. Although it wasn’t me who killed him, feel free to count it against me."
"Is your Unyielding Blade Sect using this kind of force to bully the few with the many, forcing me to witness your sect’s unreasonable conduct?"
True Master Wisdom Blade shouted angrily: "A mere early-stage Golden Core dares to speak boldly before me! Someone like you, I can easily obliterate with a snap of my fingers."
True Master Wisdom Blade’s body emitted a strong golden divine light, and his eyes flashed with cold brilliance as he stared intently at Shen Xuan, seemingly trying to see through him.
Shen Xuan responded calmly, "You’re hundreds of years old, don’t boast!"
"If you want a battle, then I’ll fight. If you want a duel, I’ll duel you! If you want a melee, then let’s have a melee."
Just as his words fell.
A light gleamed in the sky.
Then, more and more appeared.
Over a hundred ships gradually flew to the sky over Starlight Island.
They were reinforcements dispatched by the Cyan Cloud Sect.
They had long been hidden around Starlight Island.
Standing on the central ship was none other than True Master Spirit Sword.
On two tier-three ships beside him stood True Master Ling Xiao and True Master Cold Jade.
In the Cyan Cloud Sect’s fleet, tier-three ships were slightly fewer, only seven.
But with the aid of the Island Protection Array, they were well-matched against the opposing Unyielding Blade Sect fleet.
Shen Xuan was the Cyan Cloud Sect’s newly minted Ice Technique Golden Core and a tier-three Pill Master.
Of course, the Cyan Cloud Sect couldn’t stand idly by.
"Wisdom Blade, instead of returning to heal your injuries, you come here to bully my junior brother—did you ask me first?"
True Master Spirit Sword, along with True Master Ling Xiao and True Master Cold Jade, swiftly flew to the front of the formation.
"Master Cold Jade, Senior Brother Spirit Sword, Senior Brother Ling Xiao."
Shen Xuan bowed first.
Across, True Master Wisdom Blade’s face showed a look of apprehension: "Spirit Sword, don’t be arrogant! In ten years, we will have a duel to the death!"
Just as his words fell.
From the Unyielding Blade Sect fleet, ten Escape Lights flew, landing beside True Master Wisdom Blade.
Three Golden Core, seven True Pill.
Their formation was quite luxurious.
Nearly half of the Unyielding Blade Sect’s main force for this expedition to Song Country was present.
"Spirit Sword, why be so aggressive. If you want a battle, Ding Xian will fight you!"
One of the Golden Core True Masters with white hair and a purple robe stepped forward, standing before True Master Wisdom Blade.
Shen Xuan chuckled lightly.
"Wisdom Blade, the private grudge between us, why involve our sects?"
He glanced around.
"With so many fellow Daoists present, you and I shall fight one-on-one!"
"If you win, True Master Ming Yi will be returned to you, and I’ll offer my life to pay Zhao Mingde’s debt."
Shen Xuan appeared casual, as if discussing a trivial matter.
"If you lose, I won’t take your life. Just go back to Yan Country and never step foot in Song Country again!"
Shen Xuan said this adeptly.
Clearly pointing out that it was a personal grudge, unrelated to the sect.
Make it impossible for True Master Wisdom Blade to find an excuse to exploit.
Clearly, you, a late-stage Golden Core, wouldn’t need sect power for a personal grievance with an early-stage Golden Core.
Shen Xuan would win and wouldn’t take his life, allowing him to return to Yan Country and banning him from Song Country.
It seemed generous, but there were other reasons.
In battles between Golden Core True Masters, deciding victory is easy, but taking the opponent’s life is incredibly difficult.
Unless the Spiritual Artifact or Divine Power used is particularly potent.
With Shen Xuan’s current realm cultivation, it’s challenging to kill True Master Wisdom Blade and claim his life.
Moreover, the Unyielding Blade Sect’s many True Masters wouldn’t stand by, and would definitely provide assistance.
Of course, if given a chance to kill True Master Wisdom Blade, Shen Xuan would surely deliver a fatal blow without mercy.
In magical combat between cultivators, life and death often hang by a thread, and holding back is impossible.
"Quite the boast! Originally, for the sake of the Cyan Cloud Sect, I was prepared to spare your life. Shen Xuan, since you’re seeking death, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
True Master Wisdom Blade snorted coldly, looking toward True Master Spirit Sword.
"Spirit Sword, your junior brother has publicly challenged me, what do you say?"
True Master Spirit Sword shook his head slightly.
"Wisdom Blade, all those years have ended up with you living like a dog!"
"Junior Brother Profound Ice has already stated. If you want a battle, then battle. Let there be both victory and life and death!"
True Master Wisdom Blade was extremely enraged.
Since forming his Golden Core, no one had ever disrespected him like this.
"Senior Brother Ding Xian, retreat."
True Master Ding Xian exchanged glances with the others and each retreated a thousand zhang.
True Master Spirit Sword advised: "Junior Brother Profound Ice, be careful! His injuries haven’t healed, the longer the magical combat lasts, the better."
Shen Xuan nodded.
True Master Ling Xiao patted his shoulder: "If you can’t win, escape into the sea and protect your life."
Knowing Shen Xuan’s Water Technique was perfected.
In the East Sea, even if he couldn’t win, he could escape into the deep sea.
Finally, it was True Master Cold Jade.
She said softly, "Shen Xuan, you didn’t do wrong."
Clearly, True Master Cold Jade knew the ins and outs.
"Live well."
Shen Xuan smiled: "Master, rest assured. He doesn’t have the ability!"
Soon, Shen Xuan was confronting True Master Wisdom Blade.
Amidst sea and sky, the two figures faced each other from a distance, their momentum clashing, stirring wind and clouds in all directions.
True Master Wisdom Blade’s face was murderously cold as he took the lead in attacking.
A golden shining Spiritual Sword appeared in front of him.
Late-stage Golden Core Spiritual Power surged within it, the Spiritual Sword burst forth with dazzling golden blades, sharp and fierce, soaring skyward, instantly growing over ten zhang long.
On the blade, Dao patterns flowed, emitting a powerful aura capable of cutting mountains and seas.
"What a remarkable blade!"
Shen Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Such a spiritual blade must be Tier Three Upper Grade.
"To die under my Soul-Cleaving Blade, you can rest in peace!"
True Master Wisdom Blade continuously performed spells, making the Soul-Cleaving Blade increasingly imposing.
"Soul-Cleaving Blade, obliterate the divine soul!"
True Master Wisdom Blade clasped his hands together, his gesture like a blade, striking at Shen Xuan through the air.
At that moment.
The golden blade didn’t directly strike Shen Xuan’s flesh body but suddenly became ethereal, transforming into an invisible blade force, directly targeting Shen Xuan’s divine soul.
The divine power of the Soul-Cleaving Blade, performed by True Master Wisdom Blade, instantly enveloped a hundred feet around, firmly locking onto Shen Xuan.
This blade had immense power, cleaving space and Spiritual Qi in one stroke, directly attacking Shen Xuan’s divine soul.
The True Masters watching the battle felt a slight sting in their divine souls, and their probing Divine Senses were easily shattered by the Soul-Cleaving Blade.
The divine power of the Soul-Cleaving Blade specializes in cleaving the divine soul and Divine Sense of cultivators, destroying their essence.
Shen Xuan’s expression slightly changed.
Although he had seen the magical combat recordings of True Master Wisdom Blade and Spirit Sword True Master.
Seeing it was one thing.
Experiencing it firsthand was another.
At this moment, he personally realized the terror of a late-stage Golden Core True Master.
With just a casual blade strike, they could kill an ordinary True Pill True Master.
On Starlight Island, countless cultivators gazed at the sky.
Some with low cultivation screamed in pain upon seeing the brilliance of the Soul-Cleaving Blade.
"Qi Cultivation Cultivators, get indoors immediately, do not come out. Otherwise, you will be treated as rebels, killed without mercy!"
Zhuang Xueqin’s voice echoed across Starlight Island.
"City Guard, stay put, maintain order, do not observe the True Masters’ magical combat."
Above Starlight Island.
True Master Cold Jade’s face bore a worried look.
"Senior Brother Spirit Sword, this old scoundrel Wisdom Blade’s Soul-Cleaving Blade has quite an impressive power, Shen Xuan he..."
Beside her, Spirit Sword True Master chuckled lightly.
"Junior Sister Cold Jade, don’t worry."
"Although Wisdom Blade’s golden light is strong, it is merely superficial. The blade aura spreads wide but is not substantial."
"This Soul-Cleaving Blade looks intimidating, but its power is only half of what it used to be. His injuries haven’t fully healed, so he dares not unleash his full power."
Spirit Sword True Master’s tone was confident, carrying a hint of disdain: "Junior Brother Profound Ice will surely break it."
Indeed.
In the battlefield, Shen Xuan’s expression was calm and composed. He formed a spell and performed {Yin-Yang Walk}, his figure suddenly vanished.
"Space divine power!"
This action of Shen Xuan startled even True Master Ling Xiao.
"When did Junior Brother Profound Ice comprehend space divine power?"
Spirit Sword True Master glanced at True Master Cold Jade, nodding slightly.
Clearly, this was Shen Xuan’s own gain from cultivation.
Unrelated to the Ice Technique taught by True Master Cold Jade.
"Don’t run!"
True Master Wisdom Blade shouted angrily.
The Soul-Cleaving Blade fiercely slashed towards the sea.
The seawater parted, and at the bottom of the ocean, a figure appeared, it was Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan looked up, gazing coldly at True Master Wisdom Blade above the sea.
Truly worthy of late-stage Golden Core.
Even if the injuries aren’t healed, only exerting half the power.
It still isn’t something an ordinary early-stage Golden Core True Master can withstand.
Even for Shen Xuan.
Comparable to mid-stage Golden Core.
He must leverage the power of seawater to face the Soul-Cleaving Blade divine power directly.
"Boom!"
The golden edge tore through the seawater, obliterating all living beings within, the might was terrifying to the extreme.
"Roar!"
An ancient dragon roar sounded from the depths of the ocean, causing the entire sea surface to boil.
Shen Xuan had deployed the Purple Gold True Water Seal.
Instantly, the seawater of the nearby waters crazily surged into the treasure seal.
{Profound Ice Dragon Shadow}!
A pure Profound Ice Spiritual Power coalesced into a Profound Ice Divine Dragon, over ten feet long, roared and flew out from the Purple Gold True Water Seal.
Its scales were distinct, its horns and claws sharp, completely transparent, and its entire body emitted a terrifying chilling aura that froze everything, lifelike as if it was real.
At this moment, with the vast water spiritual power, the Profound Ice Divine Dragon seemed vivid and tangible.
The Profound Ice Divine Dragon raised its head towards the sky, roaring angrily at the golden blade force that swept across the sky.
{Ten Thousand Dragon Sword Tide}!
From the dragon’s mouth, thousands of extremely cold ice swords converged into a surging tide of icy swords, the sound of swords resounding loudly, meeting the Soul-Cleaving Blade force.
The falling golden blade force collided with the tide of icy swords, producing bursts of explosive sounds.
The fierce sharpness of the Soul-Cleaving Blade force was constantly struck and dissolved by the endless tide of icy swords, eventually collapsing into dispersion.
"The divine power of Ice Technique combined with Sword Dao?"
True Master Wisdom Blade’s face showed a trace of surprise.
Then looked at Shen Xuan at the bottom of the sea.
Suddenly undergoing some sort of transformation.
A massive Divine Dragon phantom appeared behind him.
He himself also transformed into a Profound Ice Flood Dragon over twenty feet long, two flood dragon claws grasping a unique chilly iron staff, emanating an aura of violent destruction, icy cold.
At this time, Shen Xuan resembled a Demon Beast rather than a cultivator!
A strong wave of Demon Power constantly surged from him.
This scene shook True Master Wisdom Blade to the core.
"A Body Refining Master at Dharma Realm? And at the peak of Dharma Realm! No wonder he has such confidence, daring to challenge me to magical combat!"
Not just him.
All the True Masters of the Overlord Blade Sect were dumbfounded.
They had only heard Shen Xuan was an Ice Technique Golden Core, known as True Master Profound Ice, skilled in Ice Technique.
They had never heard Shen Xuan was also a Body Refining Master at the peak of Dharma Realm.
A cultivator who had cultivated Body Refining Technique to such an extent was rarely seen throughout Yan Country.
Moreover, the Dharma Aspect he formed was a True Spirit such as the Profound Ice Divine Dragon.
In this East Sea, he possessed an overwhelming geographical advantage.
"Senior Brother Wisdom Blade is in trouble now!"
A True Master of the Overlord Blade Sect sighed and said.
