Chapter 450: Chapter 454: Guidance in Sword Dao and… a Desperate Counterattack

Kill!

Wang Junze did not know what Qu Lishang was thinking, but he felt no fear; along the way, he had always defeated the strong as the weak, and when had he ever feared a formidable enemy?

From the moment he killed Jiao Yang and exposed his identity, he was already prepared to fight to the death with Dugu Feng, rather than pinning his hopes on Qu Lishang.

This kind of trust from Qu Lishang made Wang Junze’s blood boil, leaving no room for fear or hesitation.

With a flick of his sword’s edge, Wang Junze fiercely charged at Dugu Feng.

The Nine Swords of Cloud Dragon unfolded, each move a powerful attack, focusing solely on offense rather than defense, fully interpreting his understanding of the Sword Dao, fighting with complete abandon.

In contrast, Dugu Feng, having been sealed off from the Blood Sea Path Domain and reduced back to Divine Travel, seemed quite unadapted, and for a moment, was indeed suppressed by Wang Junze, falling into a disadvantage.

Fortunately, Dugu Feng was not trash piled high with resources but a genius who fought his way out of the Judgment Department with sword and spear. After a brief setback, he quickly adapted, unleashing the Godslaying Spear with equal ferocity.

One must know that although the Great Nether Mirror could seal the Blood Sea Path Domain, it could not possibly seal the power of the Godslaying Spear.

The Godslaying Spear itself was a remarkably powerful Divine Weapon, refined by the Blood Refining Technique. Dugu Feng could easily unleash its power, and in a realm higher than Wang Junze’s, combined with the power of the Divine Weapon, he quickly turned the tide of battle with a strategy of exchanging wounds.

Fierce spear intent surged like tides, wave after wave pressed towards Wang Junze, with blood burning again, forcing Wang Junze to retreat repeatedly.

Yu Luo, layout, Nine Swords of Cloud Dragon, even the Profound Moon Sword Technique, various sword techniques alternated and transformed, continuously executed by Wang Junze, yet he couldn’t reverse the disadvantage, instead, Dugu Feng seized the opportunity, dealing blow after blow.

“Your Sword Intent is too mixed; whether it’s the Rain Sword Intent or the Water Sword Intent, none have been fully comprehended, and you’re trying to incorporate other Sword Intents during battle… how is that possible!”

Seeing Wang Junze struggling, Qu Lishang suddenly offered advice.

“You are just in Void Shattering. Do you intend to attempt Fusion Path? That’s something to consider after entering the Saint Realm. No matter how great your talent is, how can you reach the sky in a single bound?”

“Too many fortuitous encounters will only lead you astray! Wang Junze, biting off more than you can chew, perhaps trying just one Sword Intent might allow you to unleash its full potential.”

“Hmm?”

Hearing Qu Lishang’s words, Wang Junze was slightly startled.

Just as Qu Lishang said, along this path, there were too many fortuitous encounters. With his outstanding talent, comprehending even one Sword Intent was difficult for others, yet how could Wang Junze have comprehended only one!

Rain Sword Intent, Water Sword Intent, Profound Moon Sword Intent, even Sword Intent understood from the Swordfish, and Sword Intent from the Dragon Monarch’s inheritance!

Plus, with Chess Swordsmanship, there was too much to comprehend.

Any one of these alone would be an enviable fortuitous encounter for others, yet Wang Junze bore such extensive Sword Dao inheritance, having comprehended each to some extent and attempted to cultivate them. However, because of this, Wang Junze didn’t know what path he truly should follow.

Obtaining the Dragon Monarch’s inheritance and comprehending the Nine Swords of Cloud Dragon made him feel he had seen his path in the Sword Dao.

Yet, he forgot what cultivation the Dragon Monarch had.

In the long run, perfectly merging these Sword Intents into one and forming his own Sword Dao is undoubtedly the best choice and the strongest.

But he was only in Void Shattering!

Continuing to comprehend any single Sword Intent could form a Path Embryo sufficient for Wang Junze to break through to Entering the Path, but attempting to simultaneously comprehend them all or even merge them is tremendously difficult!

Just as Qu Lishang said, this far exceeded the limits of Wang Junze’s current realm in comprehensible extent.

Frankly speaking, it was aiming too high without the requisite skill!

Normally, in duels, it was fine; Wang Junze could crush opponents with talent, but against true masters, such flaws became exceedingly apparent.

Of course, this was also because Wang Junze never received true mentorship.

Had he stayed at the Profound Moon Sword Sect, Zhou Dongfei would have naturally corrected this for him, but his pressure was too great, and he couldn’t peacefully cultivate in the Profound Moon Sword Sect. After entering the Nether Sea, he gained even more opportunities, only straying further!

It seemed his strength was continuously breaking through, growing stronger, yet ironically, to a top master like Qu Lishang, he was full of flaws!

Fortunately, Qu Lishang was a Sword Path Grandmaster and easily pointed out Wang Junze’s issues while observing his battle with Dugu Feng.

Wang Junze, a prodigious genius, came to a sudden realization under Qu Lishang’s guidance.

In just a moment, Wang Junze discarded all other Sword Intents, focusing solely on the Rain Sword Intent, his most deeply comprehended Sword Intent.

In that instant, Wang Junze recalled the scenes from his battle with Yuan Shouyi.

With each breath, a sheet of Sword Rain once again materialized around Wang Junze!

Yet, Wang Junze felt something was still missing.

Back then, when slaying Yuan Shouyi, the reason he could unleash such a powerful strike was largely because Su Yuwei transformed a Divine Talisman into rain, bringing down a shower for him.

But now, here, Wang Junze couldn’t conjure up rain out of thin air on his own; lacking external force, it became immensely difficult to borrow the momentum of heaven and earth.

No, still not right!

To fully unleash the power of Sword Intent, one must leverage the moment, borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth to erupt with even greater strength.

Can’t always wait until it rains to engage in combat, right?

Figuring out how to convert the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth for one’s use is the right path.

At this thought, Wang Junze’s mind suddenly became clear.

Although there is no rain now, the surrounding Spiritual Qi is extremely abundant; even the blood aura released by Dugu Feng, couldn’t that be turned into a blood rain?

In an instant, Wang Junze immediately mobilized all the True Qi within him, using Rain Sword Intent to drive True Qi, inducing the surrounding Spiritual Qi to transform into a Spiritual Rain.

Rain Sword!

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding Spiritual Rain instantly turned into Sword Qi, covering the entire space around.

Not only that!

Under the full force of Rain Sword Intent, even the blood released by Dugu Feng was forcibly swept up by the Sword Intent, turning into a blood rain, striking back at Dugu Feng herself!

Strangulation!

Within a single sword stroke, the power inside Wang Junze erupted completely, leaving no room, embodying an indomitable spirit, slashing fiercely towards Dugu Feng.

Path Embryo!

With this sword, Wang Junze seemed to regain the feeling he had when he slew Yuan Shouyi, using a strangulation sword technique, fully unleashing the power of Water Sword Intent!

However, now Wang Junze’s strength far exceeded what it was during the battle with Yuan Shouyi.

Boom!

Countless Sword Rain fell upon Dugu Feng, even though she had noticed something was off and swung the Godslaying Spear to not let anything through, she still couldn’t fend off all the Sword Rain. In just a few seconds, her body was suddenly pierced by dozens of Sword Rain!

More terrifyingly, Wang Junze’s sword also stabbed forward.

Dugu Feng’s Path Domain was sealed by the Great Nether Mirror, but Wang Junze formed a Path Embryo with Water Sword Intent, and the power of this sword was comparable to Entering the Path.

In this decline and growth, how could Dugu Feng defend herself?

The sword edge pierced through the defenses of the Godslaying Spear instantly, stabbing directly through Dugu Feng’s throat!

One strike seals the throat!

A look of pain flashed in her eyes, and Dugu Feng’s Divine Soul suddenly flew out. But unlike others, after her Divine Soul flew out, Dugu Feng chose not to flee but instead integrated into the Godslaying Spear, forcibly driving the Godslaying Spear to stab at Wang Junze once more!

At the edge of death, Dugu Feng equally demonstrated her most ruthless and frantic side.

Even with her flesh body severed, she still didn’t give up, launching a desperate attack.

Dugu Feng was well aware that facing Wang Junze and Qu Lishang, even if her Divine Soul emerged, she would not be able to escape; without the protection of the Path Domain, her fragile Divine Soul could be easily slain. Rather than that, it was better to counterattack while Wang Junze was exhausted from the sword.

Blood Refining Divine Weapon’s help was not just as simple as Fusion Path; the Godslaying Spear itself could be seen as part of her body. Her Divine Soul merging with the Godslaying Spear could still unleash the power of the Godslaying Spear to complete this strike!

As long as she could kill Wang Junze, she still had a chance to escape using the Godslaying Spear!

Not far away, Ji Liuyun and Peng Ru were there, she might be able to find the opportunity to seize one of their bodies to be reborn.

Though by doing so, her cultivation would undoubtedly suffer greatly, falling to Heaven-Stepping, even Refining God Realm, as long as she lived, she would have the chance to cultivate back.

Such a sharp counterattack not only exceeded Wang Junze’s expectations but also left Qu Lishang unsuspected.

Moreover, with all his force focused on driving the Great Nether Mirror, Qu Lishang was powerless to stop Dugu Feng, merely watching helplessly as the spear stabbed towards Wang Junze.

In the distance, a look of despair was even apparent in Ji Liuyun and Peng Ru’s eyes.

Clearly, Wang Junze had just been dominant, having already slain Dugu Feng’s flesh, but who could have expected her to mount such a fierce and ruthless counterattack in such desperate circumstances!

At this moment, even Qu Lishang felt a severe tightening, madly channeling the power of the Great Nether Mirror, seeking at all costs to completely slay Dugu Feng, even if he couldn’t save Wang Junze.

However, at the very moment when everyone thought Wang Junze was undoubtedly doomed, his sword slightly flickered, actually slashing out another sword strike, accurately striking the spear tip!
