I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 256 - 207: Sword Pressure on the Black Water Profound Mansion

Chapter 256: Chapter 207: Sword Pressure on the Black Water Profound Mansion

The waters of the Black Water River surged upward in towering walls of tens of feet high, with the shockwaves shaking the structures within the Profound Mansion, sending tiles flying.

The black water curtain was torn apart by the Sword Rainbow, as Xu Tianhe was forced back several steps by the shockwave, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He hadn’t expected that, despite both being at the Early-stage of Nascent Soul, and having the advantage in mana, his opponent’s Sword Intent would be so powerful, enough to suppress his Black Water True Technique. His eyes showed even more apprehension, but he was also driven to ferocity:

"Void Power, Condense!"

Xu Tianhe formed a complex seal with both hands, as the black profound light around him resonated with the void.

The void within the Hundred Miles Sword Domain instantly darkened, and a void rift, tens of feet wide, appeared in front of him, from which countless black tentacles extended.

These tentacles were formed by the fusion of void energy and chilling profound light, each capable of easily tearing apart the Dharma Body of a Golden Core Cultivator, reaching towards Chen Xihua.

As a Peak Nascent Soul Early-stage Cultivator, while his control over void power wasn’t as refined as Mid-stage, he could still launch surprise attacks using void rifts, a trump card he kept hidden.

Chen Xihua simply activated his Divine Sense, and the Sword Infant within his Dantian urged his Sword Intent within the Hundred Miles Sword Domain to surge once more; countless strands of cyan Sword Qi swarmed towards the void rift like a swarm of bees.

Simultaneously, his form flickered, using the connection between Sword Intent and void to instantly teleport to the side of the rift, a hundred miles away—Void Shuttling for a Nascent Soul Cultivator, even more fluid within his own Sword Intent Domain.

"Void Shuttling, Sword Slash Void!"

With his right hand forming a sword gesture, Chen Xihua slashed, and a light cyan Sword Thread flew from his fingertips, expanding rapidly within the Sword Domain to become a cyan Sword Light hundreds of miles long, directly slicing towards the void rift.

Wherever the Sword Light traveled, the black tentacles within the rift were all severed, and even the void rift itself was forcibly narrowed by the Sword Light, with the void fluctuations at the rift’s edge calming down.

Xu Tianhe was startled, hurriedly retreating. He hadn’t anticipated Chen Xihua not only having sharp Sword Intent but also such skillful control over void power, easily nullifying his trump card.

"You have such means?"

Xu Tianhe’s voice carried a tremor, with the black profound light around him becoming unstable:

"Since you refuse to relent, don’t blame me for a fight to the death!"

Again, he formed even more complex Dharma Seals with his hands, the black profound light around him surged once more, and the remnants of the black mist within a hundred miles reconvened, transforming into a black Profound Light Shield, enveloping the entire Black Water Profound Mansion.

Upon the Profound Light Shield, countless black runes flickered—this was the Mountain Protection Array of the Black Water Profound Mansion, the "Black Water Profound Array"!

Without wasting words, Chen Xihua formed a Sword Seal with both hands, urging more power from the Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword within his Dantian; the cyan Sword Qi within the Hundred Miles Sword Domain descended like a meteor shower towards the black Profound Light Shield.

Each strand of Sword Qi contained void power, striking the Profound Light Shield with loud clanging sounds.

The black runes on the Profound Light Shield flickered relentlessly, the light growing dimmer and dimmer, while within the array, Xu Tianhe was shaken by the Sword Qi, his internal energies in turmoil, with more blood flowing uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth!

The opponent’s Sword Intent was too fierce! He could feel the Profound Light Shield wouldn’t last long, the relentless Sword Intent constantly battering the foundation of the array.

"Xu Tianhe, you are no match for me!"

Chen Xihua’s voice echoed within the Sword Domain, carrying undeniable authority:

"Today, I won’t kill you, but if you don’t hand over Xu Ming, this Sword Domain will collapse your Mountain Protection Array, making the Black Water Profound Mansion disappear from the world!"

Chen Xihua had no intention of slaughtering him entirely, because he couldn’t achieve that!

Even if he wielded the Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword, he could only destroy the opponent’s Dharma Body; the opponent’s Nascent Soul could escape into the inner layers of the void and flee.

Defeating a Nascent Soul Cultivator was feasible, but killing one was exceedingly difficult—a fact not misstated!

Chen Xihua’s motive was simple: use the Black Water Profound Mansion as leverage to force the opponent to surrender!

Looking at the trembling Profound Light Shield, Xu Tianhe’s heart was full of unwillingness and resentment.

Despite reaching the Peak of Nascent Soul Early-stage, he was continuously suppressed by the opponent’s Sword Intent. Continuing the fight would not only shatter the Mountain Protection Array but might also result in severe injuries. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

He clenched his teeth, shouting angrily into the depths of the Profound Mansion: "Xu Ming! You wretch, get out here!"

A white stream of light flew out from the Profound Mansion, landing beside Xu Tianhe.

It was a pale young man in a luxurious brocade robe, trembling with fear, none other than Xu Tianhe’s legitimate grandson, Xu Ming.

Upon stepping into the Sword Domain, he was immediately forced to his knees by the invisible Sword Qi, facing the cyan Sword Intent covering a hundred miles in the sky and Chen Xihua’s cold gaze, he hurriedly kowtowed in plea:

"Spare me, senior! What happened back then was a moment of folly, I beseech you to spare me for the sake of my grandfather! I am willing to compensate the Chen Clan..."

Before he could finish, Chen Xihua snorted coldly, forming a sword gesture with his right fingers.

An azure Sword Qi instantly flew out from the Hundred Miles Sword Domain, cutting across the hundred-mile distance like lightning, precisely landing on Xu Ming’s neck.

Xu Ming’s head thudded to the ground, blood spurted out, staining the black earth beneath, and even his Divine Soul was split by the Sword Qi.

After killing Xu Ming, the Sword Intent around Chen Xihua gradually withdrew, the Hundred Miles Sword Domain receded like a tide, leaving only a faint trace of Sword Qi lingering in the air.

His gaze fell on Xu Tianhe, his tone icy:

"This is the end of today’s matter. If you or the Black Water Profound Mansion dare to provoke the Yunlan Chen Clan again, it will be a blood feud between us!"

"I’m under three hundred years old this year, I’ve got time to waste with you!"

With those words, which he believed would compel Xu Tianhe to make the right choice, Chen Xihua didn’t consider the opponent highly valuing such an unruly grandson.

Without glancing at Xu Tianhe again, the pale cyan Sword Mist around him rose once more, his clear form gradually becoming ethereal, even the Sword Intent surrounding him integrating bit by bit into the void.

In just a moment, Chen Xihua’s figure vanished completely from above the Black Water Profound Mansion, as if he had never been there.

Xu Tianhe stood frozen in place, staring intently in the direction where Chen Xihua disappeared, his hands clenching tightly at his sides, nails almost piercing into his palms.

"Ah—!"

A suppressed roar of anger erupted from Xu Tianhe’s throat as he abruptly raised his hand, pressing forcefully down towards the Black Water River below.

The black profound light around him surged like a tide towards the river’s surface, causing the previously calm Black Water River to boil violently, with enormous black water columns towering tens of feet high.

In the air, the water columns condensed into numerous thick water whips, lashing harshly towards the surrounding mountains with ripping whistles.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After venting for a long while, Xu Tianhe, observing the wreckage before him, slowly lowered his hand, and the black water whips, as if having lost their power, fell into the river, splashing waves of water.

Xu Tianhe murmured, his voice full of bitterness, as if grinding broken teeth yet swallowing them down:

"Forget it... forget it... Today’s events, just take it as a fall."
