Chapter 1233: Chapter 160: Invincible Divine Sword, Nan Zhiwei! (2)

"That’s excellent!" When Nan Zhiwei heard Jiang Ning was also skilled in Sword Dao, a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

A duel between swordsmen is a great benefit for confirming martial arts and Sword Dao with each other.

"Lord Jiang is skilled with the sword?" On the side, Ye Zhengqi heard Jiang Ning’s words and could not help showing some confusion.

He knew quite a bit about Jiang Ning, but the information had never recorded Jiang Ning being skilled in Sword Dao, rather archery and his Sword Technique being exceptionally exquisite, with his boxing also quite remarkable.

As for Sword Dao, there had never been any related records.

"Lord Ye, may I borrow a sword from you?" Jiang Ning turned to look at Ye Zhengqi on the side.

"Lord Jiang, are you deceiving me?" Upon hearing these words, Nan Zhiwei immediately took it seriously.

"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Lord Jiang is skilled in Sword Dao, and as a swordsman, how could you not have your own sword?" Nan Zhiwei spoke, holding his long sword.

As he spoke, a sharp aura blossomed from his body like a sword beam.

"I haven’t found a suitable one!" Jiang Ning replied, then accepted the long sword handed over by Ye Zhengqi.

The next moment.

As his right hand grasped the hilt, with the tip slanting toward the ground, a calm and balanced sword intent, combining both hardness and softness, emanated from Jiang Ning’s body, causing the surrounding air to begin converging towards him.

The air surged, carrying tiny dust particles, slowly forming a circle.

Feeling the sword intent emanating from Jiang Ning’s body, all distracting thoughts in Nan Zhiwei’s mind dissipated.

He also immediately understood that Jiang Ning’s words were indeed true; he was skilled with the sword.

The mere presence of this profound sword intent gave him a mysterious, inexplicable feeling.

"Nan Master, make your move!" Jiang Ning confidently said, holding the long sword.

At the same time.

Ye Zhengqi also stepped aside. He sensed the change in the aura around Jiang Ning, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

When Jiang Ning said he was skilled in Sword Dao just moments ago, he was indifferent, having never seen or heard of such information about Jiang Ning.

But the moment Jiang Ning held the sword, he realized that Jiang Ning hadn’t lied at all.

The dispersed sword intent instantly affected the air currents in all directions, as well as the circulation of the aura.

At this moment, Jiang Ning immediately gave him an impression of being invulnerable and without any openings.

It felt as though, at this instant, there were no flaws around Jiang Ning at all.

"What kind of sword technique is this? What kind of sword intent?" Ye Zhengqi’s mind was filled with bewilderment.

...

"Lord Jiang, you are quite confident!" On the other side, Nan Zhiwei couldn’t help but speak upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words.

"My Sword Dao excels in defense!" Jiang Ning replied.

Upon hearing this.

The ripples in Nan Zhiwei’s heart suddenly calmed.

The next moment.

"Watch carefully!"

Nan Zhiwei’s voice rang out.

In an instant.

The sound of sword resonance echoed in all directions, countless sword shadows spread across everywhere.

"Brother Nan’s sword seems to have reached a higher level!" Ye Zhengqi couldn’t help but marvel at this sight.

Nan Zhiwei’s sword was reputed as the Divine Sword.

The invincible Divine Sword of Nan Zhiwei was how the strong of all sides referred to him.

And now, seeing Nan Zhiwei make his move again made his expression rather grave.

Several years earlier, he had sparred with Nan Zhiwei and had been defeated by him more than once.

Seeing Nan Zhiwei’s move again today, he knew he still couldn’t be Nan Zhiwei’s match. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"I wonder how Lord Jiang will fare?" Thoughts flickered in his mind.

Seeing the intertwining sword shadows, the two had already started their match.

In a flash, streaks of sword qi shot out in all directions.

Zheng zheng zheng —

The impact of Gang Qi collided, forming an unending sound of metallic clashing.

At this moment.

The two were enveloped in dense layers of sword shadows, completely obscuring their forms.

But relying on his sense of aura, Ye Zhengqi could perceive that throughout the dozens of collisions so far, Jiang Ning still hadn’t moved a single step.

He remained standing firmly in place, using his sword to counter Nan Zhiwei’s attacks.

"So strong!!" A hint of amazement suddenly appeared in Ye Zhengqi’s mind.

...

On the other side.

Jiang Ning continuously wielded his sword, countering the waves of incoming sword shadows.

Every sword shadow that struck his blade caused his long sword to tremble.

The dense and continuous sword shadows had long submerged Nan Zhiwei’s figure, making it impossible for him to see Nan Zhiwei’s actions at all.

He could only rely on his own senses to parry the sword strikes.

Meanwhile, Nan Zhiwei’s sword became faster, more numerous, and stronger.

Like a relentlessly intensifying storm.

While he stood stably like a rock amidst the storm.

"Is this the power of the number one under the Great Grandmaster?"

He felt the overwhelming shadows of swords and the fierce, unmatched sword aura, and his heart was filled with awe.

At this moment.

Nan Zhiwei’s heart was also anything but calm.

He noticed that Jiang Ning was still impeccable, regardless of how fierce his sword aura was or how dense the sword shadows were, even though they completely engulfed Jiang Ning’s figure, they never crossed the line.

No matter how fierce and domineering his attacks were, when they got within a yard of Jiang Ning, they were instantly resolved and intercepted, then dissolved into nothingness.

He suddenly recalled Jiang Ning’s words from earlier, his words about being skilled in defense.

"Such a strong defensive ability!"

He was astonished.

But his movements did not pause for a moment, instead growing even more rapid.

After a few breaths.

"Something’s not right!!"

Nan Zhiwei suddenly focused his gaze, his eyes like sword beams.

He saw all his offensives being neutralized by Jiang Ning and then absorbed into the circle around Jiang Ning.

As his attacks grew more rapid, the circle around Jiang Ning became clearer and more distinct, and the energy contained within grew stronger and more vigorous.

"What kind of sword technique is this?" He felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Then, he continued without stopping.

If this were a life and death duel, he might have chosen otherwise.

But now this was a friendly spar, a mutual exchange of martial arts.

He was eager to see what kind of methods Jiang Ning was using.

With this thought, the sword shadows grew denser, and the sword aura more fierce.

Moments later.

The circle covering Jiang Ning became clearly visible.

The constantly rotating circle began to distort everything around it.

The layers of sword shadows fell on the circle and were instantly dissolved without causing any ripples or waves.

At this moment, Nan Zhiwei felt a strong sense of crisis.

The circle, which had accumulated countless energies and auras, now gave him an intense threat of being able to destroy everything around.

"Lord Jiang, please make your move!" Nan Zhiwei stopped, and the countless sword shadows slowly disappeared, his figure also suspended in mid-air a few zhang above Jiang Ning and a few steps away.

"Nan Master, please take the move!" Jiang Ning’s voice came from the constantly rotating circle.

Originally, he wanted to test the limits of his Yin Yang Soft and Hard Sword, which was not yet his upper limit.

But since Nan Zhiwei had spoken, he decided not to continue the test.

Then.

He pointed his long sword at Nan Zhiwei, invoking sword intent.

In an instant.

The gathered energy around erupted like a flood breaking the dam, like a mountain torrent, pouring towards Nan Zhiwei.

Boom——

The world around suddenly roared, the earth trembled, and the Gang wind spread forward like a sharp blade.

Nan Zhiwei watched the scene, feeling the surge of energy erupting ahead, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The next moment.

He swiftly retreated backward, extending his long sword forward, creating a clearly visible circle with a quick rotation.

Boom!!!

The surging torrent instantly engulfed Nan Zhiwei’s figure.

Then, the torrent continued to burst forth.

Sweeping forward over fifty zhang.

Until the torrent vanished.

Only then did Nan Zhiwei’s figure reappear, but it kept moving, shooting like a cannonball.

Boom——

Boom——

Boom——

Crashing through a series of large trees, Nan Zhiwei finally came to a halt.

"So powerful!!!" Ye Zhengqi gazed at Jiang Ning, his pupils slightly contracting.

As the air currents around Jiang Ning returned to calm, he looked just as he had before, showing no sign of having just gone through an intense sparring match.

"He’s become so strong! Able to easily suppress Nan Zhiwei, and still using a Sword Dao technique never heard of before!!"

Ye Zhengqi’s mind was suddenly filled with complex emotions.

He had thought that the spar between Jiang Ning and Nan Zhiwei would be an extremely intense and exciting fight.

After all, he had seen before in Shangyang Cave Heaven that Jiang Ning, with only his physical strength, had surpassed the descendants of the Eighteen Dragon Heads and defeated Long Xiaofeng, who had top Grandmaster combat power.

So he did not think Jiang Ning and Nan Zhiwei would be without the power to fight.

But unexpectedly, in their first sparring exchange, Nan Zhiwei did not harm Jiang Ning in the slightest, but instead was blown dozens of zhang away by Jiang Ning’s single explosive move.

"Unknowingly, the gap between us has grown so large!" Looking at Jiang Ning, who stood holding his sword, Ye Zhengqi’s expression became complex.

On the other side.

"Yin Yang Soft and Hard Sword, truly a superior sword technique!" Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

He was extremely pleased with the power of the Yin Yang Soft and Hard Sword.

Even when facing the first person under the Great Grandmaster of Guangning Prefecture, with this sword technique, he was able to handle it with ease and respond effortlessly.
