Chapter 123: Chapter 103: Spring Water Sword, Thousand Waves (Part 3)

The premise is, being able to strike the target.

Zhao Yunshen’s sword momentum grew more intense, with the sword force becoming increasingly heavy, turning the area within three zhang into a gleaming jade wave, distorting the air...

But the sword light stabbed here and there, slashing horizontally and vertically, without hitting the substance.

It seemed that Chen Ping’s figure had already transformed into a shadow, a fierce ghost.

Though still within the sword momentum’s envelope, it seemed nonexistent...

"Swallow Returning Butterfly Dance, I didn’t expect you to learn the secret skill from Hundred Flowers Valley, but merely dodging and hoping to escape with your life is impossible."

Zhao Yunshen struck over a dozen swords, each falling void, causing some embarrassment.

At this moment, he didn’t pay too much attention to the deaths of his disciples.

As the mighty Hero Yuanxi, a top-notch expert, dealing with a young talent ranked over three hundred on the Hidden Dragon List, he would need dozens or hundreds of rounds. Wouldn’t it be a laughingstock if word spread?

"Thousand Waves!"

He took another step forward, and his pale face suddenly flushed blood red.

The long sword in his hand trembled slightly.

In the air, the sound of water gushed loudly.

The sword qi surged, making the inn’s main hall seem like a jade wave sea.

Countless sword shadows turned into waves, crushing toward the center.

Sword wails from all directions, transformed into a vortex, trapping Chen Ping within.

"That’s all it is."

Chen Ping chuckled lightly.

Having seen through Zhao Yunshen’s sword momentum, he felt greatly enlightened. He no longer held back, his figure shuddered, and dozens of illusions appeared.

Jade wave sword light flickered, with illusions shattering one by one.

In everyone’s exclamations, Zhao Yunshen’s sword qi whirlwind suddenly enclosed, slashing down.

The air cracked and shot out, splitting the inn center into a line of daylight, cleaving it into two halves.

However, there was no sign of Chen Ping’s body breaking and splashing blood light.

Wrong, both he and his sword had vanished.

"Pfft..."

Just as Zhao Yunshen realized something was wrong and wanted to draw back his sword to shield himself, his body suddenly halted, rigid in place.

Looking down, a sword tip had emerged from his chest, with drops of blood falling.

The dragon-like sword wail then reached everyone’s ears...

"This..."

"Master!"

"Master..."

Several cried out, wanting to rush forward.

"Clear Wind Shadowless, Clear and Faint, Clear and Faint..."

Zhao Yunshen’s eyes dimmed, unable to gather his breath.

He used all his strength, lifting his left hand, signaling his disciples not to advance.

The opposing body technique was so formidable he couldn’t even stab him, and his swordsmanship was absurdly superior. Clearly, he had already seen through his Shadowless Swordsmanship when killing his four disciples earlier and was internally prepared.

However, just moments ago during the sword clash, he was still deceived by illusions and baffled by the clear wind...

What the eyes see, what the inner qi senses, were all false.

The sword was there, yet wasn’t there.

It wasn’t until struck that he realized the opponent’s illusion was false, the clear wind was false, even the person was false.

This swordsmanship had reached the legendary realm of Clear Wind Shadowless Sword, hiding a sword within another and shadow within shadow...

Missing the strategy.

Misled by greed, underestimated the opponent.

The previous sword strike pierced the heart, the tremendous force shattered and invaded, long since pulverizing his organs.

Shattered his Dantian Qi Sea, leaving not a single trace of vitality intact.

Such attacking power.

Even facing it head-on, he might not necessarily win, let alone his body technique and swordsmanship fell entirely behind.

How could he not die?

Zhao Yunshen sighed deeply, looking compassionately at his few disciples, his heart consumed by guilt and regret.

His head fell, breathless.

......

Some readers feel the strength levels in the book are confusing, and some haven’t even read wuxia novels. This is a bit helpless.

This Chapter was a tad verbose...

To avoid diluting, I won’t use too many words on cultivation, at most mentioning it briefly.

Regarding the synergy between realms and skills, the relationship between inner force, body technique, and sword technique, the difference between physical strength and inner qi attack power, I won’t explain further. If you don’t understand, improvise yourselves.
