SFS Chapter 270 Cangming Slash
Chapter 270 Cangming Slash
The Golden-Mouthed Diviner didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move; instead, he looked at Ye Kang with a mocking gaze.
He wouldn't even bother using his most proficient divination skills to deal with a junior like this, who was at the ninth rank of the middle realm, because that would be a pure waste of time.
Since we can crush them with sheer strength, why waste time divining the secrets of heaven?
He smiled and said, "You are very clever, knowing to launch a sneak attack when the Duke's mansion is at its weakest. It's a pity you were a bit unlucky and happened to run into me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Mingyue roared from below.
"Senior, don't waste words with this madman, kill him!"
The Golden-Mouthed Calculator glanced at Zuo Mingyue with disdain.
"Master Zuo, don't be impatient. Don't you want to know who sent him?"
Zuo Mingyue thought about it and realized it was true.
"Then please force him to reveal who is behind him, and I will reward you handsomely!"
The Golden-Mouthed Calculator nodded and then looked at Ye Kang.
"You heard it too. Tell us your master's name and your motive for the sneak attack. Maybe there's still a chance for a turn of events."
Ye Kang was silent for a moment, then sneered, "Senior, I have a question I'd like to know."
"what is the problem?"
"I heard that the gathering of the White Lotus rebels was orchestrated by you, senior?"
Phew!
The Golden-Mouthed Diviner's eyes narrowed, emitting an extremely cold light.
He never expected that this kid would bring up this matter.
"who are you?"
"Who I am is unimportant, since I am destined to die anyway. Why don't you enlighten me, senior?"
Ye Kang tightened his grip on the knife, already secretly preparing for his next swing.
Actually, he wasn't entirely careless. He had some confidence in his ability to launch a night raid on the Duke's mansion.
Although the Serpent's Shedding Immortal Robe and the Annihilation Immortal Ring are currently unusable, who says he only has two trump cards left?
He suddenly shouted, "Zuo Mingyue! You colluded with the Golden Mouth Diviner and worked in cahoots with the White Lotus Sect. This is a heinous crime of treason! Do you know your crime?!"
The sound was extremely loud, instantly resounding throughout the entire Duke's mansion, heard by all the retainers, servants, maids, and other attendants.
Zuo Mingyue's expression changed drastically.
"You bastard! You're talking nonsense!"
Ye Kang said, "If there is no evidence, how dare you speak nonsense? Golden Mouth Divine Calculator, I predicted that you would come here today, and I came here specifically to confront you. Now that you have submitted to the law, you can live a little longer!"
"Are you from the imperial court?"
Even the Golden-Mouthed Diviner had a gloomy expression, unable to determine Ye Kang's identity for the time being.
Ye Kang shook his head and said, "No, I am just a wandering swordsman who enjoys acting on behalf of Heaven."
"Absurd! How could a wandering swordsman help the imperial court! You're spouting nonsense; you're courting death!"
The Golden-Mouthed Calculator gritted his teeth, his tone suddenly turning sharp.
He finally couldn't contain his anger and struck Ye Kang with a palm strike. The force of the blow made Ye Kang feel a life-or-death crisis, just like when he was facing Huo Yuanpeng.
No hesitation!
Ye Kang swung his sword, channeling his profound swordsmanship into the Azure Sky Blade, instantly silencing the surrounding spiritual energy.
The Golden-Mouthed Diviner found it strange, but what could a mere ninth-grade innate master do? This palm strike was enough to kill him!
He flew into a rage and unleashed a barrage of palm strikes, instantly tearing off half a roof.
In contrast, Ye Kang's swordsmanship was ordinary and unremarkable; he simply slashed down, and a wisp of gray aura swirled around the tip of his blade.
At that moment, Ye Kang's true energy was instantly drained by the Azure Blade, leaving not a single drop.
The blade energy shot straight forward, clashing with the palm shadow of the Golden-Mouthed Divine Calculator.
To the latter's astonishment, the blade easily shattered his palm shadow, instantly dissolving his true energy. Its residual force continued unabated, striking straight at him.
This strike was completely unpretentious, without any dazzling special effects.
Only a single, ancient, and unassuming blade of energy sliced through everything, turning everything in its path into a dead land.
A single slash transforms the vast ocean.
That was a master-level sword technique, the Azure Sea Slash!
Ever since Ye Kang saw the Demon Lord riding the waves and cutting through the sea in the portrait of the Yin Saint Demon Lord, and had a flash of inspiration to comprehend this sword technique, he has never used it once.
Because the Azure Sea Slash is too powerful, forcibly activating it at the Innate Realm would consume lifespan and vitality, which would be a loss, so Ye Kang has never used it.
However, after pouring true energy into the Azure Blade twice before, Ye Kang noticed that the situation had improved.
It seems that as his realm improves and his physical body becomes stronger, he is able to wield the Azure Sky Blade more and more easily. Moreover, most importantly, the aura of annihilation that erupts from the Annihilation Immortal Ring is similar to the aura of the vast ocean in this sword technique.
Having experienced two periods of annihilation, Ye Kang had a profound understanding of this feeling.
Therefore, he believed that using the Azure Sea Slash now should not cost him any lifespan.
Of course, the price is that not a single drop is left.
Ye Kang felt dizzy and almost lost his balance, so he quickly swallowed the Nine-Star Immortal Grass leaf in his mouth.
All the leaves were gone, leaving only a bare rootstock.
His inner energy began to recover, and he forced himself to appear calm and collected.
On the other side, the Golden-Mouthed Divine Calculator's eyes showed fear as he frantically channeled his true energy, and a small lotus flower appeared on his forehead as he desperately tried to block the incoming blade energy.
However, the Cangming Slash lived up to its reputation as the Yin Saint Demon Lord's ultimate technique, proving to be virtually invincible. Its blade energy erupted in front of the Golden-Mouthed Divine Calculator, forming a terrifying gray Cangming that annihilated all other methods.
The Golden-Mouthed Divine Calculator was terrified. He hurriedly activated his life essence and tried to escape, but he was still a step too slow. A wisp of Cangming Qi swept past his right hand and severed it.
The other two streams of primordial energy entered his left shoulder and right chest respectively, colliding with his natal true energy and blasting out two giant blood holes.
A dignified junior master of the Lotus Realm was crippled in a single blow!
He cried out in surprise, finally breaking free from the cover of the Azure Sea Qi. Without pausing for a moment, his figure transformed into a streak of light and leaped out, disappearing into the horizon.
At this moment, the Golden-Mouthed Diviner was afraid.
He dared not gamble on whether the kid could strike a second time.
If that strange sword technique were to be used again, I fear I would die here!
I must escape! I am a esteemed Grandmaster of the Lotus Realm, how can I possibly perish here in such a muddled way!
Even Jin Zui Shensuan himself didn't realize that this slash had left him with a psychological scar, stirring up his fear.
Martial artists cherish their lives, and this is especially true for martial artists in the Lotus Realm.
This gave Ye Kang a chance to survive.
Watching the fortune teller Jin Zui flee into the distance, Ye Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"System, did I shorten my lifespan?"
【Ding】
[System notification: The host's physical strength is sufficient; forcibly using the Azure Sea Slash did not result in any loss of lifespan.]
[Host's current remaining lifespan: 80 years]
[Note: Lifespan can be further extended after breaking through to the Lotus Realm]
……
"call……"
Ye Kang was completely relieved. It seemed that his judgment was correct, and he had another trump card up his sleeve.
The power of this Azure Sea Slash is truly terrifying. It can seriously injure a Lotus Realm expert with a single strike. If I were to become a Lotus Realm warrior myself and wield the slash a few more times, wouldn't I be invincible?
Ye Kang briefly indulged in his thoughts, then coldly glanced at the stunned Zuo Mingyue and Han Xiu.
"He ran away, what about you?"
