Cohabitation with Sword Spirit-Chapter 247 - 208: The Most Brutal Champion in Cyan Cloud Tournament History Is Born

Sword Blade Storm.

This is Wang Jiu's answer when faced with absolute adversity.

It is also one of the ritual-level swordsmanship techniques renowned during the Jiuzhou Era.

Of course, Sword Blade Storm isn't its official name; its real name has long been forgotten, and when Wang Jiu learned this technique, only the nickname remained.

The core of this swordsmanship lies in a unique Sword Qi Manipulation Skill, combined with intense spinning to rapidly stir up Heaven and Earth Spirit Wind, then constantly using True Essence to drive self-rotation and acceleration, ultimately forming a localized natural disaster: the Eye of the Storm.

Once the Eye of the Storm is formed, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Wind begin moving autonomously, and then one can use the force of the wind to further enhance self-rotation, stirring the Spirit Wind even more violently, creating a virtuous cycle.

Anyone at the center of the Eye of the Storm who can withstand the recoil force of this small-scale natural disaster can effectively utilize this powerful force, a hundredfold stronger, to defeat their enemies. Ideally, defeating opponents even one or two levels higher is not difficult.

However, the defect of this move is extremely deadly: the initiation is so slow that even master swordsmen who specialize in this technique need several breaths to accelerate enough to affect the Heaven and Earth Spirit Wind. In combat, even a moment's gap can determine life and death; there's no leisurely time to spare. Therefore, although this swordsmanship is highly powerful, it can only serve as a spectacle during ceremonies and lacks practical combat value.

But in Wang Jiu's hands, this swordsmanship underwent considerable changes. Although he couldn't avoid the natural defect of slow initiation, he could form a shield only he could wield using exquisite swordsmanship techniques and combat intuition.

Any approaching force, he could perform leverage and deflection with precise micro control. If the opponent's force control was neither tough nor exquisite, Wang Jiu could even convert it for his own use to accelerate the spin.

However, that was only the case when Wang Jiu fought with his own body. When it came to Shen Qingming, the situation was quite bad. The little girl's inherent strength was only at the Wind-Rising Realm; although she could enhance her physical abilities with Frenzy State in combat, the intensity of True Essence couldn't change. Even with the Celestial Divine Sword, a Divine Weapon intricately connected to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, trying to stir the Heaven and Earth Spirit Wind to form a disaster, even the smallest one, would take at least two to three minutes of initiation time.

Therefore, external force was needed here.

Fortunately, there was an ideal external force here.

"Get ready, here we go."

After warning Shen Qingming, Wang Jiu swiftly took action.

In mid-air, he controlled Shen Qingming to tightly grip the long sword with both hands, her arms stretched out forward, and her waist twisted. Driven by True Essence, she spun like a top.

Initially, the spin wasn't fast, and Shen Qingming swayed and wobbled in mid-air like a stringless kite, looking somewhat comical.

But Shen Qingming had only spun a few times when Li Wanqing slightly frowned.

The breeze brushing against her cheek intuitively signaled a sign of change, and her exceptionally talented cultivation allowed her to keenly sense the upcoming risk from the change in Heaven and Earth Spirit Wind.

Her intuition told her that immediate action was necessary, so she promptly crossed her arms in front of her, and two arm armors transformed into flying blades shot out.

Two streaks of light carrying destructive power beyond the Cloud Surge Realm collided with the spinning top in mid-air. To many, the slow self-rotation seemed like making oneself a target, and under the rapid, lightning-like attack of the flying blades, Shen Qingming appeared to be doomed to be pierced and defeated on the spot.

But at the moment the streak of light illuminated, Wang Jiu knew there was no longer any suspense in this battle.

The external force he needed had indeed arrived.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have Li Wanqing's sharp intuition and so correct judgment.

Treating the slow-starting but proficient in leveraging external forces Sword Blade Storm with penetrating attacks to quickly inflict fatal damage was the right approach.

Li Wanqing, of course, had never seen Sword Blade Storm before, yet based solely on a hint of wind arising, she sharply identified the vulnerabilities of Sword Blade Storm. Such talent is truly worthy of admiration. Even among the Jiu Immortal Venerables back then, there were very few with such talent.

However, facing an opponent like the Celestial Divine Sword, merely having the correct answer is far from enough.

In mid-air, Wang Jiu subtly adjusted Shen Qingming's rotational speed and wrist angle so that the two flying blades hit the White Sword's body perfectly. Instead of piercing through Shen Qingming's body, the powerful force turned into thrust, accelerating her spin!

And with Wang Jiu borrowing crucial external force from Li Wanqing, in the blink of an eye, people's eyes were filled with nothing but the illusion of a spinning top, and the rapidly spinning White Sword began sweeping up the surrounding air, forming a swift wind.

At the same time, Li Wanqing couldn't resist clicking her tongue, clenching her fist.

This move... she seems to have lost the gamble. Her attack not only failed to be effective but was used by the opponent instead. And with the failure of this move, the situation instantly became troublesome. The terrifying mutation of Heaven and Earth Spirit Wind in mid-air was clear even with eyes closed.

That Wang Jiu actually pinpointed her weakness in a flash.

After the Yuqing Taoist Armor was unsealed, although its attributes surged, its controllability plummeted, preventing many transformations.

In fact, the current strength comparable to Late Stage Cloud Flipping Realm wasn't something a Cloud Surge Realm cultivator should be able to master. Li Wanqing, relying on her extraordinary Immortal Dao talent and the fervent feelings in her heart, could barely wield this level of power, but inevitably at the cost of some detailed control.
