Chapter 362: the Art of Swordsmanship

If the disciples had good memory, they would find this scene familiar.

Because when Jiang Yun first saw Fang Yuxuan, Fang Yuxuan was just as high above, observing Jiang Yun.

At that time, Jiang Yun appeared in his eyes like an ant.

And now, the two of them have swapped positions.

This time, it was Jiang Yun who was in charge.

Under Jiang Yun’s gaze, the group of disciples who had just surrounded Fang Yuxuan in the center involuntarily shuffled their feet and moved their bodies away.

Jiang Yun’s reputation within the Seeking-Tao Sect is quite significant.

However, his absence from the sect for the past two years has led most people to forget about him.

Even though he returned to "participate" in a so-called competition, he did not make a move, only took a stroll around and then left directly, so very few people know his true level of cultivation.

However, everyone witnessed with clarity how easily he defeated Huo Yuan just now.

This made those people realize that they were no match for Jiang Yun at all.

Since they couldn’t confront him, they had no choice but to avoid him.

As they stepped back, only Fang Yuxuan and Jiang Yun remained, one tall and one short, standing facing each other.

All the people around them had stopped breathing, afraid to make any sound.

One of them was a senior disciple and the top student among the inner disciples;

The other was a new disciple who hadn’t even passed the entry Three Trials, but had shocked everyone as a wild mountain boy!

Many people were eagerly anticipating the showdown between these two.

After a moment, Fang Yuxuan suddenly smiled and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, the higher you stand, the harder you’ll fall!"

"Have you seen the big gift I prepared for you? If not, it’s probably already destroyed!"

Clearly, Fang Yuxuan was deliberately trying to provoke Jiang Yun, using Lu Xiaoyu’s safety to threaten him.

Jiang Yun, however, remained unfazed, smiling back and saying, "Senior Brother Fang, if your sister is still alive, she should also be on the list to enter Mirage now!"

With just a simple sentence, Fang Yuxuan’s calm facade was instantly shattered, revealing a fierce expression on his face.

In Fang Yuxuan’s eyes, a fierce light shone, like a hungry wolf about to attack, as he angrily shouted, "Jiang Yun, you are asking for trouble!"

As he spoke, Fang Yuxuan pointed his finger.

Suddenly, a golden sword flew out from his body with a whistling sound, like a golden lightning, aiming directly at Jiang Yun!

The sword was so fast that most people only saw a flash of gold.

The sword had already reached Jiang Yun, just inches away from his forehead!

Fang Yuxuan’s skill in controlling the sword showed his strong power in the way of a sword cultivator.

In addition, the attacks of a sword cultivator were stronger than other practitioners, making it difficult for even a fellow practitioner of the same level to defend against this sword in a hurry.

Many who supported Jiang Yun couldn’t help but worry that he might be injured or even killed by this sword.

However, Jiang Yun stood there without moving, not even blinking his eyes.

Just as he saw the golden sword about to pierce his forehead, he extended two fingers and gently pinched it!

"Buzz!"

The unstoppable golden sword was effortlessly caught by Jiang Yun’s two fingers.

Although the entire sword trembled wildly, it could not move forward at all, nor could it escape from Jiang Yun’s fingers!

"Hiss!"

Countless gasps came from the mouths of the people from the Seeking-Tao Sect.

Fang Yuxuan’s sword technique dazzled them.

They never expected Jiang Yun to easily counter this move with just two fingers.

Also, Fang Yuxuan clearly attacked angrily, probably using all his strength.

In this way, it seems that Jiang Yun’s strength will far surpass Fang Yuxuan’s.

On the square, a disciple muttered, "How is this possible, Senior Brother Fang is already at the ninth level of Blessed Land Realm!"

"Although I don’t know Jiang Yun’s realm, but if I remember correctly, when Jiang Yun disappeared two years ago, he seemed to be only at the Meridians Unclogged Realm!"

The big man Tang Yi said coldly, "You are not wrong, but it’s also not impossible!"

"When Jiang Yun was at the Meridians Unclogged Realm back then, he surpassed Senior Brother Zheng of the Blessed Land Realm, and now he is at the Blessed Land Realm. So, it is reasonable for him to contend with Senior Brother Fang."

However, the young woman named Lu Yourong softly said, "Senior Brother Fang didn’t use his full strength with that strike, it seemed like an angry attack, but it was actually just a probe!"

If someone else said these words, people might not believe it, but looking at Lu Yourong’s eyes with two strange patterns appearing, everyone couldn’t help but believe.

Because those were Dao Eyes!

He could see through all illusions and realities, and if he practiced hard enough, he could even ignore time and space to see into the past and future.

Whatever he thought in his heart, he could see it right in front of him!

However, Lu Yourong’s explanation slightly reduced the shock of the crowd.

Because when it came down to it, Jiang Yun’s strength was not as ridiculously high as they had imagined.

Holding the golden sword, Jiang Yun looked down at Fang Yuxuan from a higher position and said coldly, "Fang Yuxuan, it’s been two years, and you seem to have grown weaker!"

Cold light flashed in Fang Yuxuan’s eyes once again.

Although he often liked to speak in this tone to others, now that it was his turn to be taught a lesson by someone else, he couldn’t bear it at all.

"Jiang Yun, go to hell!"

With a roar, Fang Yuxuan raised his hand again, and this time, nine beams of light shot into the sky!

Nine swords!

Controlling nine swords at the same time, this scene once again amazed everyone!

As is well known, for a sword cultivator, the more swords controlled using the Sword Control Art, the difficulty doubles with each additional sword.

Most people’s limit is controlling four or five swords simultaneously.

However, Fang Yuxuan could actually control nine swords at the same time!

Not only that, these nine swords even flew in different trajectories in the air.

So much so that everyone could clearly see nine distinct sharp sword auras cutting through the air, slicing it apart, all aimed at Jiang Yun alone!

"Senior Brother Fang truly deserves to be the top inner disciple!"

"With just this skill in Sword Control Art, it is enough to amaze the entire Mountain-Sea World!"

"Among peers, no one can match!"

Many of Fang Yuxuan’s followers couldn’t help but cheer loudly.

Even the Peak Lords showed surprise on their faces.

Only Wei Zhengyang smiled, looking radiant in this moment.

Sword Control Art is different from mere object manipulation.

Object manipulation is simple, anyone with spirit qi can do it.

But controlling the swords, and making each sword have its own path after leaving the body, is a skillful art.

This requires not only controlling spirit qi, but also mastering sword techniques, and releasing the sword energy of each sword after they leave the body.

For sword control, a simple eight-word description for sword cultivators – unite the mind and the sword!

Even though Fang Yuxuan couldn’t say he had perfected these eight words, he at least understood the essence of them.

However, as he watched the nine swords coming towards him from nine directions, Jiang Yun’s face showed an undisguised look of contempt.
