I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Venerable sneered.

"Is that so?"

Xu Yan smiled indifferently.

The Mountain and River Swordsmanship unfolded, and the Divine Skills of Mountains and Rivers within the Sword also emerged. At this moment, the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter was already within his Mountains and Rivers in the Sword.

With a raise of his hand, the Imperishable Sword Intent surged forth. The originally dim sword light suddenly burst forth with a blinding cold gleam once again.

The Power of Domain Laws also descended, transforming into Mountain and River Myriad Manifestations.

As the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter swung his fists, his aura was like a rainbow. With each motion, the Domain Power poured out, shattering one sword light after another, even tearing open a gap within the Mountains and Rivers in the Sword.

Occasionally, he seized the opportunity to launch a killing blow towards Xu Yan, but it was effortlessly resolved by the Yin Yang Sword Wheel. The force of this strike was instead returned to the sword light, enhancing its power.

"This man's strength is indeed powerful. With my current strength, it's simply impossible to kill him!"

Xu Yan sighed internally, admitting that the strength of the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter was formidable.

Of course, the other party also lacked the sufficiency to breach the defense of his Yin Yang Undying Sword.

"With such strength, it's perfect for honing my Sword Dao!"

As Xu Yan swung his hand, he began to refine his Sword Dao further, unleashing all his insights into the Sword Dao.

The more the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter fought, the more shocked he became. He was astounded to find that, with his own strength, he couldn't break through Xu Yan's defense. That bizarre Sword Wheel, eternal and unending, no matter how forcefully he struck, he couldn't shatter it.

And not being able to shatter that bizarre Sword Wheel meant he couldn't harm Xu Yan in the slightest.

"Why is his Martial Arts so powerful?"

At this moment, the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter even felt a tinge of envy. If he had cultivated such a powerful Martial Arts, he would likely be invincible in the Immortal Realm.

"What kind of Sword Dao is this, so wonderfully unpredictable?"

He considered himself a strong practitioner of the Sword Dao, yet only upon seeing Xu Yan's Sword Dao did he realize with shock that he seemed like an utter novice in comparison, not even having touched the threshold of the Sword Dao.

It was as if he only knew how to wield a sword, swinging it wildly without possessing either the sharpness or the versatility of a sword.

Just like a three-year-old child wielding a toy sword, playing in front of a Great Grandmaster of the true Sword Dao.

"Why does Xu Yan's Sword Dao possess an unfathomable depth, and why does each sword strike seem imbued with a distinct killing intent?"

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter was horrified in his heart.

At this moment, he had to face a reality, that even with his personal intervention, he could not harm Xu Yan!

"It's about time!"

Xu Yan took a deep breath.

Hum!

All the sword lights vanished in an instant, all the Sword Intent disappeared in an instant.

Even the Mountain and River Myriad Manifestations dissipated without a trace.

But it wasn't that they had disappeared, rather they merged with this Domain, becoming indistinguishable from it.

"Hmm?"

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter's brow raised.

In a thundering roar, terrifying visions of a great battle emerged between Heaven and Earth. Although these scenes were very blurry, they were still overwhelmingly shocking.

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter's pupils constricted, and almost subconsciously, his figure trembled, revealing a look of horror as he was shocked by the sudden appearance of the battle scene.

Xu Yan frowned slightly, "After all, my strength is somewhat lacking, not able to fully assimilate it for my own use, and the simulated battle is not realistic enough!"

At this moment, the great battle emerging within the Mountain and River Myriad Manifestations was the one Xu Yan had witnessed while crossing the wilderness, which he had refined into the Mountains and Rivers.

"Slash!"

The warriors in the midst of the great battle, as if lifting their hands simultaneously, gathered all their strength, raising a sword to strike down at the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter.

And with this sword, the shadow of the common people also emerged.

The Domain changed, as if entering a battlefield, and on that battlefield, there was only the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter alone, now facing a horrifying attack!

"Ahh!"

At this moment, the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter's heart was struck by fear once more, trembling as he roared out loud, raising his palm and slamming it down with force.

Although he was not purely a practitioner of the Sword Dao, he had cultivated it nevertheless. Now, facing this sword, he felt his heart of Sword Dao trembling, even feeling a sense of submission.

This was inconceivable.

"If I were a warrior who practiced only the Sword Dao, how would I defend against this sword?"

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter dared not imagine, if an Immortal Heavenly Venerable who cultivated the Sword Dao faced this strike, whether they would still be able to use their Sword Dao to resist?

"Sword God Xu Yan!"

At this moment, these four words emerged in his mind!

The god of the Sword Dao, truly deserving of the title!

He had to admit, Xu Yan had the qualifications to be called the Sword God!

As Xu Yan executed this strike, he only felt his divine essence crazily depleting, and the wondrous essence of the Wisdom Sword Realm was also being expended. Sword Intent surged forth unceasingly.

At a certain moment, he took a deep breath.

This strike was not going to hurt the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter.

However, beyond this strike, what he truly intended to manifest in the Mountain and River Myriad Manifestations was that majestic and saintly figure!

Right when the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter made his move, in the wake of Taicang Martial Artist's sword slash, the space behind him seemed to turn chaotic, and a hazy figure abruptly appeared.

What a majestic figure it was; even in its vague form, it still possessed a sacredness that made it unbearable to look at directly, as if it were a saint of the Martial Arts.

Boom!

In that instant, the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter felt his mind thunder and his body tremble, his Martial Artist's fighting spirit seemed to have vanished, giving rise to a heart filled with the urge to kneel in worship.

It was as if he stood before a saint of Martial Arts, before whom all would bow in homage!

"Impossible, what is this!"

"I am the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, how can I be affected, how can my will be shaken?"

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter roared within his heart, continuously running techniques to refine his Divine Soul, trying to shake off this saintly trance!

Hum!

Finally, his consciousness returned to clarity, snapping back from the saintly trance, only to face a piercing cold light that brought forth a bone-chilling coldness within his heart.

It was even a crisis of death!

In the critical moment, he uttered a low growl, his body twisted and he flew backwards obliquely, exerting all his strength to slap away the cold light!

Pfft!

His palm throbbed with intense pain!

A sword had pierced through his palm, and the blade did not stop there; a sharp pain followed in his shoulder.

Pfft!

Blood spurted out, but he narrowly avoided the lethal blow.

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter flew backward, his eyes filled with shock, seeing Xu Yan with a sword in hand, an expression of regret on his face, and his heart trembling, even feeling a sense of having survived a catastrophe.

So close!

He was just a fraction away from being slayed by Xu Yan's reversal strike!

Turning around, he fled in a frenzy, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye. An Immortal Heavenly Venerable actually fled in complete disarray!

Xu Yan sighed. The power of the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter was a bit too strong; he hadn't managed to kill him!

The Mountain and River Myriad Manifestations manifested, and that majestic, saint-like figure emerged, affecting the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter's mind. Xu Yan had been waiting for this moment to decisively make his move!

However, that figure was ultimately too vague, the duration of its influence was limited, and the opponent quickly regained his senses. In a moment of peril, he dodged the deadly sword strike.

Nonetheless, the sword strike had injured the opponent!

"My power is still a little lacking. If that figure could be fully rendered, perhaps even the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, upon seeing it, would subconsciously kneel.

"Who exactly is this person? The influence they have on the Taicang Martial Artists is also a bit too great."

Xu Yan was curious in his heart.

"Even if you are an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, let's see if you can resolve my Imperishable Sword Intent. As long as you can't, sooner or later, we will know your true identity!"

Xu Yan sneered coldly.

Though the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter had escaped, a trace of Imperishable Sword Intent had also penetrated his body.

"Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, a shadow that never dissipates, right? Sooner or later, I will annihilate you all."

Xu Yan coldly snorted in his heart.

"The expenditure was a bit too great. I need to find a place to recover and reflect on the gains of this battle."

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Yan decided to find a place to settle down and reflect.

Heading to the Duowu Cave was not something to be rushed.

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter returned to his own territory; acting as if nothing had happened, but his heart was heavy.

The sword wound was not a major issue, but that unknown sword force was the real cause of the weight in his heart. No matter what method he used, no secret technique was able to expunge this sword force or annihilate it completely.

He could only use the power of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable to wrap around and seal this sliver of Sword Dao power, and even he did not know whether he could keep it sealed indefinitely.

"What kind of Sword Dao power is this? This Xu Yan, he is too terrifying. Who among the Immortal Heavenly Venerables can kill him? Was it a mistake to target Xu Yan as an objective?"

At this moment, he felt that Tian Shiqi's targeting of Xu Yan might have been a mistake!
