I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2225: 2224: Clash of Blade Techniques, Pure Blade Skill

Xu Zimei wielded his Tyrant Shadow, a blade weapon.

His grasp of the blade's Dao was profound, rivaling any other.

Yet, the Tyrant Shadow represented only a segment of his overall cultivation.

In stark contrast, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades devoted himself entirely to the blade path; it was his sole focus.

His cultivation centered around the Three Blade Technique, with no other pursuits.

At this decisive moment, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades held the Heaven Seal.

The Heaven Seal blade radiated a potent sealing energy.

This wave of sealing power expanded outwards as the Great Emperor of the Three Blades observed with solemnity.

His gleaming blade, exceeding three feet in length, primarily displayed a light blue hue, reminiscent of an endless, unblemished sky.

With a sharp cry, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades unleashed his power.

The Heaven Seal blade seemed to vanish, as if it had melded into the very heavens.

Swiftly, following a commanding gesture from the Great Emperor of the Three Blades.

A colossal blade descended from the celestial expanse.

This Heaven Seal blade, having merged with the fabric of the world, became an extension of the sky and earth itself.

It was unseen yet palpably present everywhere.

A resounding “boom” reverberated through the air.

The immense blade plunged down from the heavens.

Having become one with the natural world, the Heaven Seal blade transformed into a colossal weapon.

This colossal blade measured at least a hundred meters, its edge pulsing with an unstoppable, surging might.

A subtle furrow creased Xu Zimei’s brow.

He could sense, permeating his entire being, not only the blade's keen sharpness but also its overwhelming sealing power.

This was no ordinary seal, deliberately crafted.

It was the very sealing power of heaven and earth.

To oppose this seal meant challenging the natural order.

This represented the unique Great Dao of the Great Emperor of the Three Blades.

His philosophy held that human strength was finite, while the power of heaven and earth was boundless.

By channeling mortal strength into the might of the cosmos.

He could exert immense pressure, using the world itself as the primary force – a truly formidable approach.

As the Heaven Seal blade descended, Xu Zimei raised his right hand, and the Tyrant Shadow materialized in his grasp once more.

“Slash,” Xu Zimei murmured softly.

At this instant, the Tyrant Shadow in his hand pulsed not only with overwhelming blade qi but also with Xu Zimei’s profound understanding of divine methods.

Specifically, the Demon Disk Immortal Scroll, one of the Ten Divine Methods.

This Immortal Scroll, derived from sacred texts and celestial phenomena, echoed the origins described by the people of the ten families.

It was something birthed from the heavens and earth, not conceived by mortal ingenuity.

Legend claimed that the ancestors of the ten families had once attuned themselves to the celestial melodies, thereby comprehending this Demon Disk Immortal Scroll.

Now, the blade qi emanating from Xu Zimei’s hand intertwined with the essence of the Demon Disk Immortal Scroll.

As the long blade descended, its piercing cry was accompanied by the resonant hum of the Immortal Scroll.

“Bang bang bang…”

The sounds of impact reverberated, clashing ceaselessly with the seal emanating from the Heaven Seal blade.

Even before the two massive blades fully disengaged, the forces of the seal and the Immortal Scroll were locked in a continuous, fierce engagement.

……

“Who dares to fight outside our True Martial Holy Sect?”

This extraordinary display naturally drew the attention of numerous disciples and elders within the True Martial Holy Sect.

Although they could not approach the epicenter, the colossal mushroom clouds erupting indicated a battle of earth-shattering proportions.

“Could that be our ancestors exchanging blows?”

“Which ancestor possesses such might? It truly inspires ambition within one’s heart!”

A murmur of excited speculation rippled through the crowd.

Under the gaze of countless observers.

At this pivotal moment, both Xu Zimei and the Great Emperor of the Three Blades maintained unyielding focus.

The explosive cloud of debris rising around them did not waver their resolve in the slightest.

The descending Heaven Seal blade met the Tyrant Shadow in a cataclysmic clash.

In that instant, myriad forces converged and intertwined.

The very firmament appeared to fracture, as spatial distortions and violent tempests raged.

The onlookers observed anew.

To their astonishment, both Xu Zimei and the Great Emperor of the Three Blades emerged completely unscathed, as if the immense force of that single blade collision had inflicted no damage whatsoever.

Xu Zimei smoothly rotated his Tyrant Shadow, flexing his right hand, which felt slightly numb.

That strike was indeed powerful.

However, it still felt somewhat insufficient.

Across the battlefield, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades’ brow furrowed slightly.

He had already retracted his blade, holding the Heaven Seal blade at his side.

Upon closer examination, faint hairline cracks were discernible on the surface of the Heaven Seal blade.

Though these marks were subtle and the Heaven Seal blade possessed inherent self-repairing capabilities, allowing for rapid recovery.

Their presence nonetheless startled the Great Emperor of the Three Blades.

To witness such damage after a single exchange was alarming.

If this were to repeat, could irreversible harm be inflicted?

Furthermore, the Heaven Seal blade currently in his possession was not the original, but one he had personally reforged.

This blade possesses unmatched resilience and formidable attack power, far surpassing ordinary weapons.

“Again,” Xu Zimei commanded.

He craved opponents of substance; engaging the Great Emperor of the Three Blades, while perhaps uncertain in other aspects, would undoubtedly sharpen his comprehension of blade techniques.

Initially, the amalgamation of the Ten Divine Methods proceeded at a rather leisurely pace.

Now, however, it appears to be gaining momentum.

At this very moment, the Tyrant Shadow held within Xu Zimei’s grasp was once more infused with divine methodologies.

Beyond the Demon Disk Immortal Scroll, the Swastika also played a part.

A Swastika manifested upon the surface of the blade.

The creation of this Swastika demands extraordinary precision; any deviation is impermissible.

Such is the inherent challenge in merging diverse divine methods.

Concurrently with the Swastika's condensation on the blade, the Demon Disk Immortal Scroll adorned its edge, and the Heaven-shaking Skill, another of the Ten Divine Methods, joined them.

This particular skill represents the zenith of raw power exertion.

Presently, these Three Divine Methods converged into a single, supreme torrent, resonating throughout Xu Zimei’s immediate vicinity.

Across the divide, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades cautiously withdrew his second blade.

This blade bore the name “Polar.”

In stark contrast to the Heaven Seal's sealing capabilities, Polar drew its might directly from the earth.

The earth itself emanated the essence of Thick Earth, embracing all that exists between heaven and earth.

When juxtaposed with the boundless sky, the earth is not only vast but also teeming with abundance.

Towering mountains, expansive oceans, diverse landscapes, flowing rivers, and lush forests all rest upon the earth, supporting myriad forms of life.

It can be asserted that compared to the void of the heavens, the earth envelops everything, offering a richer, more complete existence.

At this point, the Polar blade materialized.

The Polar blade stretched thousands of meters, descending from the sky, its tip plunging deep into the earth's embrace.

It seemed to be drawing sustenance from the latent power beneath the surface.

“Slash,” the Great Emperor of the Three Blades uttered softly at this juncture.

The Polar blade in his hand carved a sweeping arc through the void, launching its assault towards Xu Zimei.

This strike from the Polar blade was not merely one, but an endless barrage.

Provided the earth continued its ceaseless energy supply, theoretically, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades would possess inexhaustible might.

“Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble.”

In the span of a mere blink, Xu Zimei and the Great Emperor of the Three Blades had already exchanged hundreds of blade strikes.

Each impact was akin to a monumental detonation.

Turbulent forces agitated the tempestuous skies.

While the Great Emperor of the Three Blades wielded inexhaustible and immense power, Xu Zimei mirrored his tenacity, holding his ground steadfastly.

With the power of the Three Divine Methods coursing through him, Xu Zimei appeared god-like at this instant.

The Heaven-shaking Skill, in particular, propelled his power to its absolute peak.

It was evident that neither combatant employed any extraneous techniques, relying solely on the purest forms of blade artistry.

Blade techniques, at their core, are nothing more than basic actions: chopping, slashing, hacking, thrusting…

The ultimate power combined with the simplest of skills.

Thus unfolded the profound battle of blade paths.

“Behold, understand, and finally accept this inescapable truth: this is the blade that unequivocally signifies absolute and the final cessation of all things, the ultimate, all-encompassing end!”

The air in the courtyard was heavy with unspoken tension.

A young disciple hurried in, his face pale.

He knelt respectfully before the elder.

“Elder!”

The elder slowly turned, his eyes sharp.

“What news do you bring? Speak quickly, do not delay us further, the matter is urgent, you need not be so nervous,” the elder said, his voice calm but with an underlying urgency.

The disciple swallowed, his throat dry, as he recounted the latest developments, the words tumbling out in a rush.

“The Lin family has arrived.”

“Lin family?”

“Yes, Elder.”

The disciple reiterated, his voice trembling slightly.

“They are here.”

The elder’s expression turned grim.

He understood the implication.

This was not a good sign.

He had foreseen this.

He sighed.

Suddenly.

The disciple quickly added.

“The Young Master of the Lin family, Lin Xuan, is with them.”

“Lin Xuan…” the elder murmured, his gaze distant.

He recalled the infamous reputation of the Lin family’s heir.

“He is indeed here.”

The elder’s heart sank.

“Where are they now?” he inquired, his voice now laced with concern.

“They are at the main gates of the sect, Elder,” the disciple replied, bowing his head.

“Very well.”

The elder stood, his movements deliberate.

“Inform the Sect Master immediately. Prepare for their arrival.”

“Yes, Elder!” the disciple said, a flicker of relief in his eyes, and hurried away.

The elder remained, his brow furrowed in thought.

The arrival of the Lin family, especially with their Young Master, could only mean trouble.

He hoped he was wrong.

But the unease in his heart told him otherwise.

He looked towards the distant mountains, his thoughts miles away.

The fate of their sect seemed to hang in the balance.

Meanwhile, within the bustling sect grounds, the news spread like wildfire.

Disciples whispered amongst themselves, their faces a mixture of fear and curiosity.

The name ‘Lin Xuan’ was spoken with a notable degree of trepidation.

He was a figure of notorious renown, a cultivator whose reputation preceded him.

“Did you hear? The Lin family is here!”

“And Lin Xuan himself!”

“This is not good,” muttered one disciple to another.

“Indeed. His cultivation is said to be immense, even at his young age,” replied his companion, his voice hushed with awe and a touch of fear.

“What do they want?”

“Who knows? But it can’t be anything good.”

The elder, responsible for external affairs, received the disciple’s report.

His face hardened.

“The Lin family… and Lin Xuan,” he said, a grimace twisting his lips.

“This spells trouble for us.”

He looked around at the disciples present.

“Go, inform the Sect Master. We must be prepared.”

“Yes, Elder!” the disciples responded in unison, their spirits somewhat lifted by the clear directive.

The elder, his mind racing, began to strategize.

The arrival of such a powerful family, led by their formidable Young Master, was a situation that demanded immediate and careful attention.

He had a bad feeling about this.

He could only pray that their sect was strong enough to withstand whatever storm was coming.

“The patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Batian, has arrived as well,” the disciple added, his voice barely a whisper.

“Lin Batian?” The elder’s eyes widened slightly.

This was even worse than he had feared.

His heart grew heavy with foreboding.

“So it is true,” he muttered to himself.

His gaze drifted towards the main gate, a grim determination settling on his features.

“This is going to be a difficult day for our sect.”
