Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 165: Sword Qi Thunder Sound! (Please subscribe)

Most demonic cultivators are lone wolves, selfish and lacking any spirit of dedication.

But one thing is for sure, they are ruthless enough and decisive enough.

When they realized that their schemes and tricks were not working, they immediately mobilized their main forces, ready to achieve their goals in one fell swoop.

On the day they made this decision, their army was assembled.

Knowing that Zhong Cang could take advantage of the timing and launch an unstoppable attack, the army of Yangcheng did not stay on the defensive but instead mobilized their entire force, preparing for a wild encounter with Zhong Cang's army.

"Boom..."

Without evading or avoiding, they marched towards each other. If they maintained this marching speed and direction, in four days, these two armies would inevitably collide on a plain.

This scene caught the attention of various forces in the Xuan Yuan Realm.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle was crucial to the victory or defeat of the Dao and Demon sects in the Xuan Yuan Realm, and there were many people paying attention to this battle.

"They're not slowing down or trying to dodge, a hard battle is inevitable."

"Really? They're actually going to clash head-on."

"Who do you think has a greater chance of winning?"

"Of course, it's the alliance of the Demon Sect and the Clan Sect. Although their army is only 400,000 strong, they have over 2,000 Innate Martial Masters and nearly 1,000 demonic cultivators. As for the Cloud Firmament Sect, they only have Zhong Cang."

"But I heard that Zhong Cang from the Cloud Firmament Sect is very strong..."

"I'm not saying he's weak, but without the support of formations, facing over 2,000 Innate Martial Masters and over 1,000 demonic cultivators, no matter how strong he is, how many people can he kill?"

"Not only that, it is said that in order to ensure victory, a Saint Child from the Demon Sect has also participated in this battle..."

Many people were using various means to observe this battle, and while doing so, they were silently analyzing.

However, no matter how they estimated, these people found that Zhong Cang's chances of winning were not high.

In this situation, four days later, the two armies met.

"Kill!"

"In the name of justice!"

"We will win!"

As the saying goes, the brave prevail when they meet on a narrow path.

The moment the two teams met, there was no confrontation, no cursing at each other, and no one-on-one duels.

Upon seeing each other, the two armies immediately accelerated, like two torrents of steel, crashing into each other with a loud bang.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

"Kill!"

In the instant of collision, countless limbs flew and blood sprayed and fell.

In an instant, hundreds of people died in the first wave of charges.

This collision was extremely unfavorable for Zhong Cang. Although his Yunxiao Army had a considerable number of soldiers, skilled experts were relatively rare.

After all, this was a feudal era where resources and cultivation techniques were mostly controlled by the aristocratic families. With the massacre of the aristocrats in the city, these experts had become Zhong Cang's enemies, and there were hardly any aristocratic children willing to join him.

On the other hand, many children from other families, holding the concept of "justice," actively joined the alliance of the Demon Sect.

This increase and decrease in strength made the gap between Zhong Cang's side and the opposing side even greater.

What troubled Yue Qianqian and the others even more was that in the Battle of Linyuan City, when the soldiers' formation collapsed, they could rely on cultivators to hold the line and withstand the enemy.

But the Demon Sect had also become smarter. There was a command team behind the disciples of the Demon Sect, and their pressure forced the disciples to appear on the front line at the beginning of the battle.

Although this move would cause many casualties among the disciples of the Demon Sect, it was far less cost-effective than using soldiers as shields and then launching sneak attacks.

However, this kind of attack made their impact even stronger.

After all, the number of Demon Sect cultivators exceeded that of the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators. Even if Zhong Cang killed over 600, the enemy's numbers far exceeded those of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

"Boom..."

Battle techniques swept across, spells bombarded, and both Martial Artists and cultivators were inferior. This caused Zhong Cang's troops to retreat in defeat from the very beginning of the battle.

This scene made Perfected Being of the Zhu clan, who was watching from mid-air, clench his fists in anger.

"Hmph, I knew they weren't..."

Before this Perfected Being of the Zhu clan could finish his words,

"Clang!" A sound rang out, the sound of a flying sword being unsheathed.

This sound was not the end:

"Zi la!"

"Boom!"

With the surge of electric current, a violent sound explosion suddenly erupted on the battlefield.

Amidst the sound explosion, the flying sword shot forward at several times the speed of sound.

[Sword Qi Thunder Sound]

This can be considered a signature ability of sword cultivators, just like the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound of body cultivators.

When Zhong Cang reached the seventh level of Qi Refining and comprehended the laws of thunder through Eternal Fall of the Heavens, he was able to emit Sword Qi Thunder Sound.

When the soul realm reached the mid-stage of Foundation Building, using the transformed power of the soul to control the sword, it could unleash the lightning-fast speed of several times the speed of sound.

Just like now:

"Whoosh!"

Due to its excessive speed, Zhong Cang's flying sword, Thunderclap, appeared as a fleeting streak of light in the eyes of onlookers.

And speed equals power.

The extreme speed endowed the flying sword with extreme attacking power, causing countless casualties as soon as it was unleashed.

"Sizzle..."

As the flying sword swept past, row after row of heads were swiftly severed like chives.

In an instant, a path of blood was cut open by the Flying Sword Thunderclap.

Facing the slash of the Flying Sword Thunderclap, whether they were ordinary soldiers or Innate Martial Masters, they were as helpless as lambs, unable to resist at all.

The speed of Sword Qi Thunder Sound was too fast, several times the speed of sound, allowing it to cover a kilometer in just one second. By the time they saw the Flying Sword Thunderclap, it was already in front of them.

At this moment, any attempt to dodge was nothing but wishful thinking.

And to resist, the attack of the flying sword was already sharp, but with the added power of Sword Qi Thunder Sound, its attack and penetrating power increased several times. At this moment, Zhong Cang's Thunderclap could even cut through titanium alloy, let alone the flesh and blood of humans.

"Sizzle..."

Graceful as a startled swan, agile as a swimming dragon, the Thunderclap flying sword flew up and down under Zhong Cang's control, moving at supersonic speed. In just a few breaths, it crossed a three-thousand-meter battle line.

And along this path of flight, it was also a path of slaughter, countless souls perishing under the Thunderclap sword.

"Sizzle..."

A three-thousand-meter path of blood appeared in this way.

This path of blood caused the demonic cultivators in the rear and the eager Martial Artists to gasp in shock.

"Hiss..."

"Sword Qi Thunder Sound! That's Sword Qi Thunder Sound!"

"Stop it, quickly stop it, it's coming towards us!"

After breaking through a barrier and relieving the pressure on the Cloud Firmament Sect soldiers, Zhong Cang pointed his sword and the Flying Sword Thunderclap, like thunder, killed the demonic cultivators behind.

This scene caused many disciples of the demonic sect to tremble in fear.

They were well aware of the terror of Sword Dao Thunder Sound.

Among all martial arts in the world, nothing is unbreakable, only speed is unbeatable.

And speed equals power.

The combination of extreme speed and extreme power made the attack of Sword Dao Thunder Sound one of the strongest at the same level. This was also the signature move that had brought Zhong Cang great fame as a sword cultivator.

Faced with such an attack, most of the demonic sect disciples who were at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining were naturally terrified.

Fortunately, to their relief, in response to their shouts, a Martial Artist, a Grandmaster-level Martial Artist, leaped out.

"Cang Long Strike!"

Drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Grandmaster clawed out, causing the spiritual energy to condense into the shape of a dragon's claw.

When this dragon's claw appeared, the air was imprisoned.

In this way, the enormous dragon's claw reached out to grab the Flying Sword Thunderclap.

At the same time, as a master of the Martial Dao Sect, the timing of this person's attack was extremely clever. The place where the dragon's claw descended happened to be the direction in which the Flying Sword Thunderclap was advancing, as if the Flying Sword Thunderclap had fallen into a trap of its own accord.

"A brilliant strike, worthy of a master of the Martial Dao Sect!"

While saying this, Zhong Cang's eyes showed no fear.

Zhong Cang, who practices the Ignorant Heart Sword Art, possesses more than just the ability of Sword Thunderclap.

With the ability to perceive the weak points of the Dragon Claw, Zhong Cang can easily cut it open by using his Flying Sword to strike at its vulnerable spots.

When Zhong Cang reaches the third realm of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art, he does indeed do this.

However, now that Zhong Cang has reached the fourth realm of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art, he has a simpler and more effective method.

"I swear here and now! I will not allow anything in this world that I cannot cut open to exist. This sword is the invincible blade that can sever and cut through everything on the ground!"

As Zhong Cang silently recites these words, his consciousness sea, the Sword of the Mind, radiates a brilliant light.

Just as Zhong Cang had imagined, this light gives off a sharpness that can cut through anything.

In Zhong Cang's consciousness sea, a change occurs. In reality, the Flying Sword Thunderclap, which is speeding towards its target, also emits a white light on its blade.

This phenomenon is quite normal. Controlling a flying sword relies on the soul, and when the soul undergoes changes, the flying sword naturally undergoes corresponding changes.

Especially since Zhong Cang possesses the Unity of Human and Sword, these changes become even more apparent.

...

Zhong Cang silently recites the words in his consciousness sea, causing the Sword of the Mind to undergo a transformation. This transformation lasts for a considerable time in his consciousness sea, but in reality, it only lasts for a moment.

And it is in this moment that the Flying Sword Thunderclap collides with the attack launched by the martial artist from the Dao Sect.

"I've got it!"

This is the exclamation of the Dao Sect martial artist when the two collide.

In his thinking, the Flying Sword is small and relies only on sharpness and acceleration to harm the enemy, so its own power is not strong.

He believes that his Azure Dragon Strike can easily take down the Flying Sword.

However, this thought disappears from his mind in the next second.

At this moment, all that remains in his mind is astonishment.

"How is this possible!"

In the disbelieving voice of the martial artist from the Dao Sect, everyone watches as the Flying Sword Thunderclap, which collided with the Azure Dragon Strike, easily cuts through the Dragon Claw formed by gathered spiritual energy.

Then, the nearly unaffected Flying Sword, moving at several times the speed of Thunderclap, stabs towards the chest of the martial artist from the Dao Sect.

"No!"

"Azure Dragon Protect..."

He still wanted to release his martial technique to protect himself.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

After cutting through the Azure Dragon Strike, the Flying Sword Thunderclap was too close to the martial artist from the Dao Sect. Before he could mobilize his internal energy, the supersonic flying sword struck him.

If it were a normal attack, this strike would not kill him.

The martial artist from the Dao Sect is considered a low-grade body cultivator, but even so, their bodies are extremely tough. A regular flying sword piercing through their flesh would be blocked by their resilient skin, membranes, and bones.

In this short period of time, he had enough time to activate his body protection ability.

However, he encountered Zhong Cang, and the white light-emitting Flying Sword Thunderclap possessed an unparalleled sharpness, as if it could cut through everything.

Under the sword's edge of Thunderclap, the martial artist from the Dao Sect's body was as weak as a piece of paper.

With almost no resistance, Thunderclap easily pierced through his body, shattered his heart, and left a bloody hole in his chest.

With a single strike, Zhong Cang instantly killed the martial artist from the Dao Sect in the Profound Origin Realm.

This is the power of combining the Sword Thunderclap and the Sword Intent of the Heart.

The former makes it impossible to dodge the flying sword due to its speed.

The latter, the superiority of the heart over matter, allows the flying sword to possess an incomparable sharpness, enabling it to cut through everything.

As for the recitation of the words before Zhong Cang activates the Sword Intent of the Heart, it is to strengthen his determination.

After all, the strength of Zhong Cang's Sword Intent of the Heart is related to both the soul and the condensation of willpower.

Reciting the words silently in this way is a kind of subconscious hypnosis that allows Zhong Cang's Sword Intent of the Heart to be fully exerted at 120%.

...

While thinking about the words, Zhong Cang controls the flying sword to swiftly rush through the air, killing the disciples of the Demon Sect in the sky.

"No, stay away!... Sss!"

"Save me..."

Seeing Zhong Cang's flying sword, which not only possesses the speed of Thunderclap but also unmatched attacking power, the disciples of the Demon Sect are immediately terrified. The one targeted by Zhong Cang is screaming madly while releasing various protective spells on himself.

Bone shield, blood cocoon, diamond talisman... Numerous spells overlap, making his body colorful and his defensive power astonishing.

Unfortunately, it is all in vain.

Just as Zhong Cang recited, with the blessing of Sword Intent in his heart, there is no material in the world that he cannot cut through - well, this sentence is just wishful thinking.

As a mid-Foundation Building stage cultivator, there are still many things that Zhong Cang cannot cut through.

However, although there are many things that he cannot cut through, there are also some that are in the Profound Origin Realm. But obviously, this does not include the defensive spell released by the disciple of the Demon Sect in front of him.

Therefore, as the flying sword flashed like lightning, with a "chi" sound, various spells on his body burst like bubbles. Then, with a flash of the sword, a head filled with unwillingness and fear spun and fell down, blood spraying up like a fountain.

"I am unwilling..."

"Chi chi chi..."

The death of this disciple of the Demon Sect did not mark the end. After killing him with a single sword, the flying sword, guided by Zhong Cang's sword finger, swiftly and like lightning, killed the other disciples of the Demon Sect.

"Chi chi chi..."

In a very short time, dozens of disciples of the Demon Sect were killed, which made them completely panic.

It's not their fault for being terrified, it's just that Zhong Cang's flying sword is too fast and too sharp.

The Sword Qi Thunderclap, with its extreme speed, makes Zhong Cang's attacks almost equivalent to a guaranteed hit.

And with the blessing of Sword Intent, Zhong Cang's attacks cannot be defended against.

An attack that is guaranteed to hit and cannot be defended against is enough to be terrifying.

Zhong Cang only attacks the vital points, and with the combination of these three factors, his flying sword becomes like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, causing death upon contact.

"Stop it!"

"We must stop it, if we can't, we will all die!"

"Help!"

"Dragon Control Crane Technique, use control-type spells to restrain the flying sword!"

"No, this flying sword can even cut through spells, my Innate Grappling Technique can't hold it!"

Burning flames, corroding blood waves, freezing cold, curses, control... Because Zhong Cang's Flying Sword Thunderclap is too terrifying, once it locks onto a target, there is no escape, only death. Various spells were thrown at the flying sword by the disciples of the Demon Sect, hoping to destroy it or restrict it.

Unfortunately, all of this is in vain.

The speed is so fast that not only does it make the flying sword's attack power formidable, but its evasion ability is also extraordinary.

Most spells are not as fast as Zhong Cang's Thunderclap, which allows his Thunderclap to easily penetrate through numerous spells' bombardment.

And for those that it cannot penetrate or evade, because they are relatively rare, they have little effect on the Flying Sword Thunderclap.

After all, the Flying Sword Thunderclap, infused with Sword Intent, can cut through everything.

"It has a taste of 'one sword breaking ten thousand spells'."

...

Unable to restrict it, unable to evade it, and unable to defend against it, facing Zhong Cang's flying sword, the disciples of the Demon Sect were truly at a loss and filled with immense fear.

And this helplessness led to a strange scene unfolding on the battlefield.

Nearly a thousand disciples of the Demon Sect were being chased in panic by a single flying sword, and from time to time, a disciple of the Demon Sect would be caught up by the flying sword and killed with a single strike.

In a short period of time, over two hundred disciples of the Demon Sect were killed.

What's more, the threat of the flying sword caused all the disciples of the Demon Sect to flee in a panic, with no intention of breaking through the defense line.

And without the Demon Sect cultivators as reinforcements, the Martial Artists alone naturally couldn't break through the defense line guarded by the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators.

Especially since these Martial Artists were frightened by Zhong Cang's ability to instantly kill a Grandmaster with a single strike.

In this way, the enemy's assault was blocked by Zhong Cang and the others.

No, it's not just blocked, it's more than that.

The shock of instantly killing a Grandmaster made the Martial Artists on the ground unable to go all out in the battle, which allowed the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators not only to withstand the enemy's attacks, but also to counterattack.

In the sky, the Flying Sword Thunderclap was like lightning, and almost every few breaths, a cultivator would die. If a group of cultivators gathered together, several of them could die in an instant.

This terrifying slaughter had pushed the cultivators of the Demon Sect to the brink of collapse.

And with both the ground and the sky in chaos, the onlookers were also stunned.

"Hiss..."

"This, this, this..."

"Cloud Firmament Sect actually won?!"

"How is that possible?!"

...

PS: I haven't been feeling well these past two days, I'm sorry, I'll try to recover tomorrow...
