CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 49: STILL SHAKEN

The Myanmar saber in Shi Feiyang’s hand traced an elegant arc through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistle that sounded like the cry of a night owl, sending a chill down the spine. In an instant, the saber flashed like lightning, aiming straight for Liu Yanran’s side neck.

This strike, Shi Feiyang infused with his profound inner strength, executing the "Heaven and Earth’s Lifespan · Sky-Splitting Slash" from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique. The saber’s momentum was fierce, carrying an unstoppable force, as though it could slice the air in two. This move was a realization Shi Feiyang had while roaming the Martial Arts world, merging the strengths of various schools, with each form of this move containing a deadly blow to defeat the enemy; once executed, its power was astonishing.

However, Liu Yanran seemed to have anticipated this move. Her figure lightly shifted, and her motion was as fluid and natural as flowing clouds and water, deftly avoiding Shi Feiyang’s lethal strike. While dodging, Liu Yanran’s lips curled into a cold smile, as chilling as winter frost, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

In her hand, the long sword swept out like a shooting star chasing the moon, with a shimmering icy aura, unleashing the "Cold Star Sun-Breaking Stab" from the Divine Water Sword Technique, making a direct strike toward Shi Feiyang’s vital point as a counterattack.

This thrust was at a tricky angle, extremely fast, and carried the years of profound power that Liu Yanran had cultivated, along with the agility and ruthlessness of the Divine Water Sword Technique, as if it would sever Shi Feiyang’s life instantaneously.

As an unrivaled skill of the Divine Water Palace, the Divine Water Sword Technique was like a continuous flow of water, each sword move targeting the enemy’s vital points, making it extremely difficult to defend against.

Liu Tingting witnessed the entire process, a sweet smile appearing on her face, containing deep trust in her mother, as if she believed her mother to be omnipotent.

In her heart, she firmly believed that her mother’s swordsmanship and wisdom were sure to defeat Shi Feiyang and rescue her from the current predicament. In her eyes, her mother Liu Yanran was renowned in the Martial Arts world, whereas Shi Feiyang was merely an arrogant and ignorant junior, unlikely to be a match for her mother.

In the tense and intense battle, Shi Feiyang’s posture was unusually agile. His right hand wielded the Myanmar saber, showcasing the supreme skills of the "Hundred Victories Saber Technique," each slash accompanied by a howling wind, with saber flashes that seemed capable of slicing all things in the world asunder.

Immediately, he employed the "Mountain-Splitting Rock-Breaking," with every place the saber wind reached having the power to split mountains and break rocks, causing the ground to tremble. Meanwhile, his left hand gathered the powerful inner strength of the "Tathagata Divine Palm," with his palm faintly emanating a golden glow, containing boundless power. With a low roar, Shi Feiyang’s left hand unleashed the "Universal Illumination," with the palm wind enveloping like Buddha’s light, carrying a compassionate yet majestic power, purifying all evil wherever it reached.

Despite this, Shi Feiyang did not rush to use his left palm to attack but instead applied the "Deep Concealment of Body and Name" mysterious lightness technique, dodging left and right. His figure moved like a ghost, elusive amidst the flashes of saber and sword, constantly searching for the best moment to counterattack.

His gaze was firm and sharp, closely watching every movement of Liu Yanran, not missing a single flaw. The Tathagata Divine Palm, as a supreme skill of the Buddhist Sect, emphasizes compassion while being able to unleash powerful strength at critical moments, suppressing all formidable foes.

However, Liu Yanran’s swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, with every move and stance aimed directly at Shi Feiyang’s vital points, forcing him to concentrate fully, not daring to relax in the slightest. Liu Yanran’s swordsmanship was like a storm, continuous and unending, with each strike carrying tremendous momentum, aiming to drown Shi Feiyang in this sea of swords.

She continuously executed the "Water Pattern Thousand Illusion Sword," with sword moves like mirages in the water, ever-changing, dazzling to the eyes, and hard to capture. Her gaze revealed confidence and pride.

In that moment, Liu Guihua’s heart pounded violently, with tension almost suffocating her. She watched intently at Shi Feiyang’s saber and Liu Yanran’s sword, her eyes showing deep worry and fear, dreading to miss any subtle movement.

She deeply realized the enormous danger Shi Feiyang was currently facing, silently praying for his safety in her heart.

Wu Zhong, Liu Dayou, Xiao Lingling, and others were also extremely tense, terrifyingly realizing that their cold sweat had already soaked through their clothes.

To ensure safety, they quickly adjusted their position, placing the blade against Liu Tingting’s neck, ready to use Liu Tingting as a hostage at the critical moment, hoping to use this to influence the direction of the battle.

Their eyes showed a trace of helplessness, deeply aware that this was a life-and-death contest, where any tiny mistake could lead to irreparable consequences.

The battle between Shi Feiyang and Liu Yanran grew increasingly intense.

The surrounding air seemed solidified by this powerful force, with even the dust ceasing to float, as if the whole world was still at that moment, with only the two engaged in their fierce duel.

At this moment, Shi Feiyang swung his saber like a swimming dragon, tracing a dazzling trajectory through the air, with the saber light shimmering, aiming straight for the opponent’s throat.

Supported by the supreme bloodline bestowed by the Sunflower Saintess, Shi Feiyang emitted the True Qi of the Bright Jade Technique all over, making his skin appear transparent, as if turning into an ice sculpture, exuding a cold and powerful aura.

He circulated the Bright Jade Technique to the seventh level, executing the "Ice Heart Art," significantly increasing his own defense while also freezing the surrounding air, hindering the enemy’s movements. As an extraordinary inner power, the Bright Jade Technique cultivated to a profound realm could make the cultivator’s skin as clear as jade, with endlessly generating inner strength, resisting various external evils and absorbing the opponent’s power.
