System's Super Sect Chapter 1006 - 934: One Sword Slays Anger Returns to the Wind (First Update)

Step one, shatter the Earthly Shield.

In the ensuing moment, the frigid, ashen Bone Spirit Cold Fire vanished amidst a surge of Vein Qi upon the plains of the battlefield.

The intense pressure that accompanied it also dissipated.

Witnessing this, Nu Huan Feng was immediately pleased, stating, "He's attempting to conserve his strength. Indeed, employing multiple magical spells simultaneously must be taxing him greatly."

Yun Liao, though not visibly present, unexpectedly halted all his offensive maneuvers.

This development caught Nu Huan Feng by surprise.

"He is astute, recognizing that we are awaiting his emergence and understanding that his prior assaults could not inflict substantial harm upon us. Consequently, he has ceased engaging in futile efforts that drain him needlessly. Next, he will undoubtedly attempt to utilize the Mirror Lake Barrier surrounding us to stall for time; we must not permit this." Nu Huan Feng promptly made preparations to withdraw from the Vein Array, reverting to his individual state.

The Only I Am Venerable brothers, comprehending Nu Huan Feng's intentions, likewise prepared to disengage from the Vein Array.

"Without the immense pressure, we can advance with ease."

"Advance! Leave him nowhere to conceal himself!"

However, just as the three individuals were about to retract the Earthly Shield and depart the Vein Array.

Ten thousand swords materialized without warning!

Suspended in the heavens!

Gleaming brightly, one silver sword after another materialized, positioning themselves around them, above their heads, and below their feet.

In but an instant, these silver swords coalesced into a Sword Array, encompassing all four within its confines and commencing a rotation.

All swords turned in unison, unleashing Sword Qi akin to a tempest, instantly blanketing the entirety of the battlefield plain.

"He isn't attempting to reduce his consumption!" Upon observing the sudden ascent of the Sword Array, Nu Huan Feng immediately grasped Yun Liao's objective and re-engaged the Earthly Shield.

Yun Liao was preparing to unleash a true offensive.

This Sword Array had previously vanquished Wu Yan; it was not to be taken lightly.

At the precise moment the four-person Vein Array re-established the Earthly Shield, innumerable silver swords transformed into searing projectiles, striking the surface of the Earthly Shield. What had previously withstood the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was instantly pierced by the silver swords.

One silver sword after another breached the Earthly Shield, and although they only penetrated about a foot deep, the sight still left the four of them in shock.

Having anticipated the Earthly Shield would endure for a considerable duration, it unexpectedly began to fracture in less than a hundred breaths.

Crack!

A startling fissure propagated from the points where the silver swords had penetrated, resembling the shell of a shattered egg.

"Prepare to disband the array."

Nu Huan Feng stated with urgency.

The Only I Am Venerable brothers echoed his sentiment.

"Indeed, we underestimated this Sword Array; we never conceived its destructive power could breach the Earthly Shield."

"It is truly ignominious that the Earthly Shield, manifested by a four-person array, would be broken in such a manner."

Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart cast a glance at his three senior brothers, who were preparing to dissolve the Vein Array, and spoke with a trace of indignation: "The Earthly Shield cannot be augmented by the Vortex Map, making its inability to withstand the assault understandable. Esteemed senior brothers, at this juncture, I implore you not to hold back."

Nu Huan Feng turned his head, acknowledging the dissatisfaction conveyed in Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's words, but offered no further comment.

This junior brother of his was invariably like this.

Unvarnished in his speech.

Given that Yun Liao was also initiating his ultimate killing move, it was only reasonable to respond with full force.

The instant the Vein Array dissolved, Nu Huan Feng's Meridian Gate trembled simultaneously, and the Vortex Map likewise began to spin.

Upper Grade Earth Level School Vein Skill—Stone Spike Sea!

The ground fissured violently, obliterating the Mirror Lake Barrier directly beneath their feet.

Countless sharp stone spikes erupted from the earth, shattering the Mirror Lake Barrier and impaling the Gale Sword Array, intercepting and snapping the incoming silver swords.

Although each stone spike would only endure for a few breaths before being pulverized by the Storm Sword Array, the sheer volume of stone spikes, much like the swords within the Gale Sword Array, was inexhaustible.

One would break, and another would immediately take its place, a continuous, unending cycle.

Subsequently, dozens of immense stone spikes forged a path for Nu Huan Feng.

Gripping the surface of these stone spikes tightly, Nu Huan Feng propelled himself forward towards Yun Liao, who was suspended in the sky.

Concurrently, stone spikes were continuously unleashed in all directions, completely annihilating the Mirror Lake Barrier.

Despite the Mirror Lake Barrier reforming instantaneously, the stone spikes would shatter it anew, preventing any period of stable existence.

A knowing smile passed between the members of the Only I Am Venerable duo.

"It appears the true battle has commenced."

"Stone Spike Sea, the pinnacle technique of Senior Brother Nu Huan Feng. Its might is formidable, nearly brushing against Half-Step Earth Unrestricted and even capable of challenging some ordinary experts at that level. I'm curious how Yun Liao intends to respond to such a devastating attack."

No sooner had the words left his lips.

Within the confines of the Storm Sword Array, a colossal figure materialized, bathed in the swirling Sword Qi.

It stood sentinel, its form towering over a hundred meters tall.

Gripping an immense sword, it unleashed a ferocious strike.

The giant blade descended like an avalanche, obliterating the very spot where Nu Huan Feng stood.

With a thunderous boom!

The previously unyielding stone spikes were instantly reduced to fragments. Nu Huan Feng, caught within their midst, met a shocking end, a sight that stunned the Only I Am Venerable duo.

For what they witnessed was a grim spectacle.

Nu Huan Feng, unable to evade the onslaught, was struck directly by the colossal sword and disintegrated into a gruesome pool of flesh and blood.

Initially, the Only I Am Venerable brothers doubted their own eyes. However, as the stone spikes crumbled on their own, their expressions contorted in alarm.

A Vein Technique disintegrating spontaneously.

This starkly indicated the demise of the caster!

How could this be? Yun Liao had appeared to be without a recourse against such power moments ago.

How did he suddenly achieve a one-hit kill against Nu Huan Feng?

"What transpired?"

"Senior Brother Nu Huan Feng was extinguished by a single sword strike!"

The two, bracing against the Storm Sword Array's fury, gazed in disbelief at the sword-wielding colossus, preparing to parry the approaching monstrous blade.

All three, without hesitation, invoked an Upper Grade Earth Level Vein Technique, adopting an offensive posture as their defense.

Yet, they were still sent hurtling by the sweeping arc of the giant sword, crashing against the boundaries of the battlefield plain before their momentum ceased.

Once their violent motion ended, a searing sensation bloomed in each of their chests.

A gush of fresh blood erupted from their mouths.

...

Beyond the confines of the battlefield plain.

An immense throng erupted in commotion, their gazes fixated on the sword-wielding titan within the Storm Sword Array.

From their vantage point as spectators, they had an unobstructed view of Nu Huan Feng's swift demise by a single sword.

This colossal entity had shattered an Upper Grade Earth Level School Vein Technique with one blow, instantly dispatching Nu Huan Feng of the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression.

It was utterly preposterous!

"What manner of phenomenon is this?"

"A solitary sword, and Nu Huan Feng met his end. Just one strike."

"What an astonishing turn of events!"

Everyone's attention was riveted on the sword-bearing giant and then shifted to Yun Liao, suspended in mid-air.

He showed no restraint!

This demonstrated that he had scarcely employed any genuine techniques against Wu Yan.

Otherwise, that single strike would have been sufficient to obliterate Wu Yan instantly.

No one had anticipated that Yun Liao of the Immortal Sect possessed such formidable strength.

Simultaneously, high in the sky, Di Chen and Jin Busan witnessed this scene and cried out in alarm.

"No!"

Di Chen stood aghast.

"Trouble!"

Jin Busan's countenance shifted dramatically, transforming into an image of utter dismay, as if he had consumed an entire bitter gourd.

Their initial plan was for Yun Liao to falter, thereby creating leverage to compel Wen Ping into a swifter cooperation agreement with the Domain Lord's Mansion.

However, unexpectedly, Yun Liao remained undefeated.

Instead, Nu Huan Feng perished first.

The death of a disciple belonging to a Domain Master was no trivial matter.

At this juncture, Wen Ping offered a round of applause and then addressed the silently observing Yun Shui in Sky and the Yin Yang Elder beside him: "You must be perplexed, I presume? In truth, this is what is termed a Sword Spirit. You may conceptualize it as a Spiritual Object spontaneously generated from the Storm Sword Array. It bears resemblance to a Demon birthed by the very fabric of heaven and earth. Yet, the genesis of a Sword Spirit is an exceptionally arduous process. For a swordsmanship-focused Vein Technique, it necessitates cultivation reaching at least the Transformation Realm, and even then, the probability of birthing a Sword Spirit remains exceedingly remote."
