Chapter 246: Chapter 242: Indestructible Spearhead VS Supreme Sword Intent of the Heavens (3)
Faced with Ji Fu's trigger-happy spear thrust, it seemed there was no other option than to retreat.
However, Xu Laozhen knew that if he were to retreat at this point, he would be at the mercy of Ji Fu's spear technique. Every strike of his, building upon the previous, would give nothing in return to Xu Laozhen.
"So, how could I possibly retreat!?" Xu Laozhen, once again using his ability to visualize, drew an unusually hefty Qianxuan sword from his arsenal.
The first step for every swordsman in sword cultivation is to make handling a sword seem light as a feather. However, when facing a brute like Ji Fu, a different level of sword technique is required: making the light seem heavy. Xu Laozhen had tried it, but to no avail. His sword was shattered, since the technique of making the light seem heavy could only create an illusion of weight, not the genuine article.
Which is the most powerful sword technique in the world? Maybe no one could answer that. But if you were to ask about the most forceful and aggressive sword technique, the answer would unequivocally be: the Heavy Sword Technique. This technique defies the principle of clever maneuvering, valuing raw power over intricate moves, the embodiment of unbeatable strength. Against Ji Fu, who strongly adhered to the principle of strength conquering all, Xu Laozhen had no choice but to break out the Heavy Sword Technique. The navy blue Qianxuan sword was held tightly in his hands. His arms bulged with muscle, pushing the sleeves taut. The blunt heavy sword swept in an arc, carrying a whirring wind as it violently collided with Ji Fu's spearhead.
"Boom- "
The collision of the Qianxuan sword and the spear released a sound reminiscent of an ancient giant bell, causing people to wince in pain. Xu Laozhen, the swordsman, felt a violent surge of power, accompanied by a shockwave that sent his Qianxuan sword spinning away. Ji Fu seemed wholly unfazed by his power, circling his spear overhead before slashing it down towards Xu Laozhen's head.
"Damn it!" Xu Laozhen, his hands trembling from the shock, struggled to hold his sword. He couldn't help but think: The idea of using a heavy sword to resist Ji Fu's spear isn't wrong... It's just that Ji Fu's strength is prodigious, making him feel like he was up against a beast. How could a warrior from the Han Family be so extraordinarily powerful? It's simply inhumane.
Ji Fu's face, as always, was devoid of expression. As soon as he wielded his spear, he would enter a state of absolute calm and clarity for combat. In this state, not only was his reaction time significantly faster than normal, but his intuition was also much sharper. He didn't believe that Xu Laozhen, who had taken the brunt of his spear strike, still had any ability to counterattack. The showdown between the Han Family's Battle Edge Tactics and the Xu Clan's supreme divine sword technique was about to be decided.
Ji Fu's spear, brimming with boundless dominance, hacked towards Xu Laozhen's shoulder. If it made contact, the full force of Ji Fu's power might slice Xu Laozhen in half.
Xu Laozhen, whose hands were trembling, appeared to be frozen in fear as the spear came closer and closer. Yet, a dazzling silver light exploded from his eyes.
"Boom"
Another sound of a collision between the heavy sword and the heavy spear. The Qianxuan sword that had been knocked away astonishingly flew back into the fray, clashing against Ji Fu's spear. Ji Fu swiftly adjusted his strike, redirecting the Qianxuan sword once again. Yet, oddly enough, the unattended heavy sword seemed to defy the laws of physics. After being initially knocked away, it immediately snapped back for another strike.
"Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-"
Ji Fu's spear clashed with the Qianxuan sword a total of six times, forcing him to retreat six steps. His usually calm face twisted in anger as he spat a single word: "Weapon Mastery Technique!"
The silvery sheen in Xu Laozhen's eyes and the control of the sword suggested the use of Weapon Mastery Technique. However, the fact that Xu Laozhen, a member of the Xu Clan, was using the Han Family's secret technique against a descendant of the Han Family was preposterous to Ji Fu.
"Cough...this is the Yijian Technique," said Xu Laozhen in a strained voice. The Xu Clan's Yijian Technique had indeed been modified based on the Han Family's Weapon Mastery Technique.
However, after countless years of refinement, the Yijian Technique had
significantly deviated from the original Weapon Mastery Technique. But Ji Fu was unlikely to see it that way.
"Hmph!" Ji Fu sneered. "Then show me what makes the Yijian Technique so unique!"
Without wasting time in an argument, Ji Fu's eyes also burst with a silver light, and the seventeen fearsome weapons that previously hovered behind him lunged towards Xu Laozhen.
As for Xu Laozhen, he stood there with a solitary Qjanxuan sword and a complicated look on his face.
The reason the Han Family warriors were invincible in close combat was the combination of the Battle Edge Tactics and the Weapon Mastery Technique. Each weapon was a result of the visualization process of a Han Family disciple, able to concretize and be controlled as an extension of their arm.
Therefore, in a combat with the Han Family's warriors, you must not only contend with the powerful warriors themselves wielding their signature weapons but also fend off the attack from a dozen weapons coming from all directions.
An ancient grandmaster of martial arts from the Han Family once visualized the essence of thirty-two weapons, and he could manifest thirty-two spirit weapons simultaneously. He was invincible in his level of skill!
Descendants of the Han Family at that time regarded this as the pinnacle of martial arts. Each Han Family warrior aimed to visualize as many weapons as possible. Over a few generations, the most powerful warriors of the Han Family were known as the Centurion Masters.
However, one of life's greatest pains is an unwillingness to let go of past glories. If you have experienced the pinnacle, it means that your present is lacking.
In the past, the Xu Clan had to look up to the Han Family. If it hadn't been for Xu Sheng, it might have taken generations for the Xu Clan to catch up with the Han
Family.
However, does the world care about the past? Only the reality of the present
matters.

The members of the Xu Clan were
each required to form their own sword domain in the dan tian, or energy center. Within this swordm domain they nurtured the souls of famous swords with their Yijian Technique. A peak transcendent realm warrior of the Xu Clan would have at least a hundred famous sword souls in his sword domain, a
standard he would feel compelled to meet in greeting other clans of equal status. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

If the amount of visualizations determines the strength of the Han Family's Weapon Mastery Technique, then the size of the sword domain and the power of the sword souls dictate the strength of the Xu Clan's Yijian Technique. However, the number of weapon visualizations is limited, as there are only so many types of weapons in the world - the Centurion Master might well be the
limit of the Weapon Mastery Technique.

But it's different for the Yijian Technique. The sword domain in the dan tian keeps expanding and the spiritual consciousness nurtured by the spiritual power keeps getting stronger.

Although sword souls are one-time-use entities, which cannot be reclaimed into
the sword domain after being discharged, the Yijian Technique as a one-off attack is unparalleled amongst all secret techniques for offense.
Looking at the seventeen silver monstrous weapons in front of him, as well as the menacing warrior wielding a spear, Xu Laozhen opened his Sword Domain..
