Chapter 1274: Chapter 180: Slicing Dawn and Dusk with Yin and Yang, Advancement of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword! (Part 2)

Holding the finger bone, he closed his eyes slightly.

After one breath.

His eyelids twitched slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

"Marquis, may I take a look?" Zhong Yue spoke at this moment.

The Purple Robe Marquis nodded slightly, then passed the finger bone in his hand to Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue took the piece of white finger bone and similarly closed his eyes.

After several breaths.

Zhong Yue opened his eyes.

"How is it, Elder Zhong? Can you feel the conception contained within?"

"A slight feeling!" Zhong Yue nodded.

Then he looked at Jiang Ning and stood up immediately.

"Mr. Jiang, I almost caused you harm! Entrusting Zhong Ling to you, I didn’t expect it would bring you such trouble!"

With these words.

Zhong Yue bowed respectfully towards Jiang Ning.

"I understand now! No wonder you’ve been so discreet, Elder Zhong, not telling me who you entrusted your great-granddaughter to. Turns out you entrusted her to Lord Jiang in distant Guangning Prefecture!" The Purple Robe Marquis suddenly showed an expression of realization.

"Yes!" Zhong Yue said somewhat guiltily: "I originally thought sending Zhong Ling away, out of the Five Mountains Prefecture would be sufficiently safe, and with Lord Jiang’s care, even safer!"

"I didn’t expect Zhi Xuan Mountain would truly intend to take action against my great-granddaughter, traveling thousands of miles to Dongling County to abduct her."

"It almost caused harm to Lord Jiang!"

"Fortunately, Lord Jiang has outstanding strength!"

Zhong Yue’s words fell.

The Purple Robe Marquis nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, outstanding strength!"

"Lord Jiang’s strength is much greater than I previously anticipated!"

In his speech, he looked at Jiang Ning with emotion.

Previously, he thought Jiang Ning being able to kill the top Grandmaster Fang Yu was impressive enough.

Only now does he realize he underestimated him.

Being able to withstand the Mountain and River Finger hidden in the Divine Remains finger bone, was equivalent to directly facing a finger from the Zhi Xuan Mountain.

Such strength is no longer measurable by top Grandmaster standards.

There is a huge gap, several dimensions, between top Grandmasters and Title-level Grandmasters.

In his thoughts, he looked at Jiang Ning with an unusual expression.

At this moment.

Seeing that both had understood in detail, Jiang Ning’s expression also became serious.

"Marquis, Elder Zhong!"

"A frontal attack is easy to defend against, but a hidden one is difficult. I lack confidence in ensuring the safety of those around me without any harm. After all, I can’t stay at home guarding all the time."

The latter sentence was directed at Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue also nodded knowingly.

He understood what Jiang Ning meant.

This included the safety of Zhong Ling.

"Understood!" He immediately nodded and looked towards the Purple Robe Marquis in the purple python robe.

The Purple Robe Marquis immediately nodded.

Zhong Yue understood, then looked at Jiang Ning again.

"Lord Jiang, to be frank, before you came, the Marquis and I discussed preparing to take action against Zhi Xuan Mountain."

"And the Marquis has already made preparations in advance!"

"Even if the supporters behind Zhi Xuan Mountain appear, it would be exactly what the Marquis desires."

On hearing this.

Jiang Ning’s eyes lit up and he looked at the man in the purple python robe.

"Marquis, really?"

"Of course!" The Purple Robe Marquis nodded with a smile, exuding a confident demeanor.

Then he continued: "Originally, I was worried that with my current forces, I couldn’t overthrow Zhi Xuan Mountain. If it drags on, various sects from the Five Mountains Prefecture would come to aid, and then we’d be mired in a war."

"Now that you are here, it’s just the right timing!"

"With your addition, we can certainly sweep through Zhi Xuan Mountain!"

"That Cave Heaven Blessed Land, if it doesn’t wish to watch Zhi Xuan Mountain’s destruction, must come to the rescue!"

Saying this, the Purple Robe Marquis’ eyes became exceptionally bright, with a faint killing intent between his brows.

"I will fully support the Marquis’ actions!" Jiang Ning stood up and bowed respectfully.

"With this assurance from Lord Jiang, I am even more at ease!" The Purple Robe Marquis said with a smile.

Then he stood up and led Jiang Ning to his seat.

"Perfect timing, let’s host a welcoming banquet for you today, and take action tomorrow, what do you say?" The Purple Robe Marquis asked kindly.

"As the Marquis commands!" Jiang Ning replied.

"Good!" The Purple Robe Marquis clapped and laughed heartily.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning expressed his intention to disguise his appearance during this action.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s plan, the Purple Robe Marquis immediately understood his concerns.

He nodded without hesitation.

...

After noon.

With a full meal and drink, under the arrangement of the Purple Robe Marquis, Jiang Ning selected a room with a courtyard to reside in.

"Sir, do you need the maid to wait in the courtyard?"

Two young girls with graceful figures bowed to Jiang Ning, their expressions respectful.

"No need!" Jiang Ning waved his hand.

"Then, we’ll wait outside the courtyard, and if you need anything, just call!" the girl replied respectfully again.

Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows and glanced upwards. It was afternoon, and the sun was blazing bright. He knew how miserable it was to wait outside under the scorching sun.

But he had no other thoughts and waved his hand to dismiss the two maids.

After sending away the maids, he was left alone in the large courtyard.

This ordinary courtyard is several times larger than the one he had in Dongling County.

"Truly luxurious!" He looked around, noticing pavilions and waterside structures were plentiful, causing Jiang Ning to express his feelings.

Then, he called forth the sword embryo forged that morning.

The moment the sword embryo entered his hand, it immediately gave him a sense of merging flesh and blood, extending his arm.

He casually swung a few sword flowers.

As sword light flashed, the longsword in his hand wielded with great ease.

"It saves the feeling of adaptation."

Then, he glanced at the panel again.

[Skill]: Xia Shi Compendium (First limit-breaking 9533/20000) (Trait: Yangyan True Fire (light purple)

Yin Yang Soft and Hard Sword (Seven times limit-breaking 5873/8000) (Trait: Balance of Soft and Hard (light green)...All-encompassing (light blue))

Whether it’s Xia Shi Compendium or Yin Yang Soft and Hard Sword, progress cannot be achieved in a short time.

Then his gaze moved downwards.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword (Seven times limit-breaking 67/8000) (Trait: Sword Heart Clarity (light purple)...)

Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword had almost no accumulation.

To achieve a breakthrough, he needed to devote all his time to it for several days.

The thought passed through his mind, and he looked again at the Taixu Yin Yang Sword that had been put aside.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Introduction 5387/10000)

"Might as well give it a try!"

Glancing at the progress of Taixu Yin Yang Sword, a thought flashed in his mind.

He then discarded all distracting thoughts.

In the next moment.

The longsword in his hand moved.

Sword light flashed, and the void began to ripple faintly.

If anyone were to see this, they would know that this sword technique could already induce space, even disturb it.

Then, the void here seemed to interweave, light flickering uncertainly.

Accompanying the ripples’ spreading.

The shadow of the longsword in his hand also started to become strange.

Sometimes dozens of sword shadows appeared simultaneously in various positions.

Sometimes all sword shadows converged, the sword body becoming exceptionally focused, even at high speed, it appeared exceptionally clear.

Sometimes the sword shadows swayed left and right, leaving no trace in between, appearing more mysterious.

Sometimes the speed of the sword blade varying from fast to slow in different changes, clearly, the sword shadow moved fast, but upon reconsidering, the sword edge had only moved a few centimeters.

Sometimes it presented another scene, clearly the sword was slow, but in an instant, the sword light seemed to divide space.

The speed was so fast, it was hard to capture.

[...]

Accompanying the practice of sword moves, the experience value of Taixu Yin Yang Sword began to increase continuously.

Seeing the growth of the experience value now, he suddenly felt invigorated, gradually becoming captivated by it.

Time passed.

As the sun slanted, the twilight hanging over the mountain peak was no longer as scorching.

Then, the sunset perished over the mountain peak behind Sky City.

When the last ray of sunlight was swallowed, time completely entered dusk.

At this very moment.

Jiang Ning’s longsword swept across the air.

In an instant.

The surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be split apart by this sword.

Above the sword edge’s trajectory, the light was bright, resembling daytime.

Below the sword edge’s trajectory, the light was dim, as if entering night.

At this moment, yin and yang were divided, dusk and dawn were parted.

With one sword swung, Jiang Ning came to his senses, and subsequently saw the prompt appearing before him.

"Yin Yang Cuts Dusk and Dawn!" He muttered, his gaze revealing a thoughtfulness.

In the next moment.

He glanced at the panel.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Introduction 9377/10000)

Seeing the accumulated experience value and progress now, his eyes slightly flickered, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.

"Just right! Tonight, Taixu Yin Yang Sword can reach the level of mastery!"

"Tomorrow, I’ll make a move and just use this sword technique to see the power of Taixu Yin Yang Sword!"
