Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 221: The Overbearing Will Establishes Dominance, Have Zhong Cang's Weaknesses Been Found?

"Use all your abilities, once I make a move, you won't have a chance."

"Arrogant!"

In the face of Zhong Cang's reminder, the first thought that arose in Yu Shuang's mind was that Zhong Cang was too arrogant.

However, before he could express his thoughts, a melodious and crisp sword hum resounded through the heavens and earth.

But the pleasant and melodious sound belonged to someone else. Upon hearing this sound, Yu Shuang's heart suddenly turned cold.

What shocked him even more was the appearance of a domineering and sharp sword shadow emerging from his mind.

"I can't listen to this sword hum!"

Realizing this, Yu Shuang immediately closed off his ears.

The effect of doing so was that Zhong Cang's second sword hum was blocked outside.

However, before he could feel happy, the third sword hum resounded through the heavens and earth once again.

Although three is not an extreme number, it is still a special number.

As the sword hum tripled, its characteristics also changed.

Great sound is silent, great elephant is invisible.

Even though Yu Shuang closed off his perception, this sword hum still transmitted into his soul.

What was even more disadvantageous for him was that the stacking of Sword Intent was completed within Zhong Cang's consciousness.

As a result, even if he didn't listen to the second sword hum, he still had to bear the power of the triple Sword Intent.

"Clang!"

When everything was ready, Zhong Cang made his move.

This sword does not cut the physical body, only the soul.

Using the soul sword shadow as a coordinate, Zhong Cang infused his own Sword Intent into it and fiercely slashed towards Yu Shuang's soul.

"No!!!"

The unmatched sharp Sword Intent suddenly appeared in his own mind, causing Yu Shuang to let out a miserable scream and desperately try to resist.

But it was useless.

Among the three realms of spiritual energy, physical body, and soul cultivation, soul cultivation is the most difficult.

Although Yu Shuang also cultivated his soul, the quality of his soul simply couldn't compare to Zhong Cang's—every time Zhong Cang comprehended a new meaning, his soul would also undergo a breakthrough, increasing its strength.

And up until now, Zhong Cang had comprehended more than ten different meanings.

Therefore, for others, cultivating spiritual energy is easy, training the physical body is manageable, but cultivating the soul is difficult.

But for Zhong Cang, it was the opposite.

His soul strength was the strongest among the three realms of Spirit Body cultivation.

Relying solely on this powerful soul, Zhong Cang was already able to overpower Yu Shuang, and when he tripled his Sword Intent, it was simply bullying.

"Chi"

As the sword slashed through, all the defenses set up by Yu Shuang in his soul were easily cut through by Zhong Cang, like flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in water.

With no defenses left, Zhong Cang's sword directly struck Yu Shuang's soul, causing his screams to become even more miserable.

"No!!!"

Amidst the sound of his miserable screams, Yu Shuang's true body fell to the ground.

His countless clones were like bubbles, bursting apart with a bang.

"Bang bang bang..."

In this way, Yu Shuang, who had transformed into over a hundred clones, didn't even move, and was struck by Zhong Cang's meticulous sword projection, which resulted in a dimensional reduction attack.

And this step, without any movement, just the appearance of the sword chant, defeated Yu Shuang's actions, making everyone even more in awe of Zhong Cang.

"???"

"What happened?"

"Did Zhong Cang not even draw his sword? How did Yu Shuang lose?"

"In the previous battle against Qin Ru, Zhong Cang at least drew his sword once. Now, does he not even need to draw his sword anymore?"

"Hiss..."

"To defeat the enemy with just the sound of the sword, how powerful!"

"How should we defeat such an existence?"

"Don't ask me, I can't figure it out..."

"..."

As Yu Shuang fell to the ground without warning, a thunderous discussion erupted around them.

Amidst this discussion, the fear and awe towards Zhong Cang from the crowd turned into fuel, causing the condensed sword shadows of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art to once again refine, as seen on the attribute panel, the proficiency of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art skyrocketed.

While Zhong Cang closed his eyes to receive the rewards, the atmosphere in the Four Seas Restaurant suddenly fell silent.

Silence, oppression, fear... like the immense pressure of the deep sea, it made the group of talented cultivators feel suffocated.

Even they didn't expect that Zhong Cang would defeat Yu Shuang without even drawing his sword.

However, they were ultimately the most outstanding group of talents in the Yunmeng Heavenly Domain. While feeling the pressure, some people also saw through Zhong Cang's methods.

"Soul attack?"

"Pay attention, Zhong Cang's means of attack is sound... I now believe the previous rumors. Zhong Cang indeed has the intention to marry Yan Miaoyin. After all, the fairy is most skilled in sonic attacks."

"There's something wrong with the sword chant. Each sword chant is stronger than the previous one. This is definitely accumulating power... his earth-shattering sword strike is not something that can be easily unleashed. It requires a long period of accumulation."

"Are you suggesting that we attack first and interrupt his accumulation of power?"

"Attacking his true body before he completes his accumulation of power is also possible."

"... This method is not bad. If we do this, we may not have to face that earth-shattering sword strike."

In the midst of the discussion, the group of talented individuals found Zhong Cang's weakness on their own, which ignited a gleam in their eyes.

The next day, a cultivator with fast speed stood opposite Zhong Cang and challenged him.

He was a practitioner of the Wind Law, who had comprehended the meaning of flowing wind.

Like a child of the wind, his speed was indeed extremely fast.

When facing Zhong Cang in battle, just as the first sword chant was about to sound, he rushed to Zhong Cang's side like a gust of wind.

Such speed made Zhong Cang's eyebrows slightly raise.

The swift speed also meant that Zhong Cang didn't have time to sound the second sword chant when they collided for the first time.

"Good!"

Seeing this scene, many people in the Four Seas Restaurant cheered. Even those proud individuals couldn't help but clench their fists and feel excited.

However, their joy only lasted for a moment.

Even without the triple stacking of Sword Intent, Zhong Cang's strength still overwhelmed ordinary talented individuals who weren't even True Transmission disciples.

Not to mention, in addition to the stacking of the Heart Sword, Zhong Cang also possessed the characteristic of perceiving the fluctuations of all things, allowing him to see through the weaknesses of others.

In the first moment the cultivator approached him, Zhong Cang saw through his weakness.

Because the cultivator was very close to him, Zhong Cang didn't use sword qi attacks, but instead placed his palm on the Ancient Gold Gourd.

Then, Zhong Cang casually pulled it out, and a long sword formed by pure white sword qi was drawn out.

With a swift motion, the long sword resembled a streak of light as it swiftly slashed towards the cultivator of the Wind Path.

"Swish!"

"He can dodge it!"

When Zhong Cang drew his sword, the cultivator with the essence of flowing wind did not initially feel much fear. He believed that with his own strength, he might not be able to withstand this strike, but with his exceptional speed, he could definitely dodge it.

However, just as he held such thoughts...

"Clang!"

A pure white long sword was unsheathed by Zhong Cang.

Then, something that caused his pupils to shrink happened.

Apart from the endless sharpness it exuded, the unsheathed long sword also carried an unbeatable dominance.

Locked and overwhelmed by this dominant intent, the body and soul of the cultivator of the Wind Path were immobilized as if they were being targeted by a natural enemy. He suddenly stiffened, unable to move his body at all.

In this situation, all he could do was watch as Zhong Cang's sword slashed towards him.

"Move! Move!"

He didn't want to be defeated, so he frantically urged his own intent, trying to break free from the overwhelming dominance.

This attempt to break free... succeeded.

However, Zhong Cang's invincible path ultimately remained incomplete. As a result, his current dominant intent could only intimidate the weak.

But it couldn't stun enemies of the same level with just the dominant intent alone.

Although he managed to break free, the cultivator of the Wind Path spent a moment's time from being intimidated to breaking free.

This time was not long.

However, in a battle between experts, every second counts. In this brief moment, the outcome of the battle had already been decided.

"Chi-la!"

When the cultivator of the Wind Path was immobilized, Zhong Cang's pure white long sword struck him.

With the sharpness of the Extreme White Ancient Gold Sword Qi, coupled with Zhong Cang's strike, it followed the weak points in his body's fluctuations. This made Zhong Cang's strike unstoppable, like a bamboo breaking through.

As if a sharp blade cutting through paper, Zhong Cang easily cut through the various protections on the cultivator of the Wind Path. With one strike, it landed on his body.

"Splurt..."

When Zhong Cang let go, a large amount of blood sprayed from the cultivator's body.

Zhong Cang had held back, otherwise, this strike could have cleaved him in half.

"Swish..."

With a casual wave, Zhong Cang dispersed the pure white long sword, and the cultivator of the Wind Path collapsed directly to the ground.

There was no doubt that Zhong Cang had won this battle, and as always, it was with a single strike.

Faced with this scene, the surrounding cultivators watching were silent. However, they were not overly shocked.

- These people had already become accustomed to Zhong Cang's strength.

"He still didn't use his second strike?"

"To be honest, I no longer expect anyone to be able to defeat Lord Zhong Cang, but to not even be able to withstand a single strike, that's too embarrassing."

"I've always heard that the cultivators from the North Abyss Region, because they have to contend with demons, have stronger combat abilities than us. But now it seems that their strength is not just a little bit stronger!"

"Alas, I only hope that the cultivators from our Yunmeng Heavenly Domain can put up a fight and make Lord Zhong Cang use his second strike..."

"It will happen... someone will definitely force Lord Zhong Cang to use his second strike!"

Because they had grown accustomed to Zhong Cang's strength, the ordinary cultivators of the Yunmeng Heavenly Domain had lowered their expectations.

They no longer hoped for Zhong Cang's defeat, but instead hoped that their own geniuses could put up a fight and make Zhong Cang use his second strike, so as not to be defeated so miserably.

However, the ordinary cultivators were pessimistic.

But after watching this battle, the talented individuals of the Four Seas Pavilion were all impressed.

"I guessed it right!"

"His sword doesn't have an unstoppable power."

"The way to deal with him is to attack aggressively. As long as we attack first, we can prevent him from unleashing that sword. Without that stunning sword, his strength is on par with ours. I can fight him!"

"We can win!"

"Zhong Cang, I challenge you..."

"He is mine!"

Seeing the hope of victory, the mood of the talented individuals suddenly relaxed.

Then, in order to get the opportunity to fight Zhong Cang first, these talented individuals argued based on reason.

They even almost started fighting each other.

No, they had already started fighting.

"My strength is stronger. Zhong Cang should be dealt with by me."

"He is mine."

"Enough talk, let's fight."

"Hmph, let's fight!"

...

"???"

"What's going on?"

"Why are they fighting?"

The sudden fight among the top disciples of the major sects left the ordinary cultivators, who were already feeling down, somewhat confused and deeply saddened.

They were confused because they didn't understand why the talented individuals were fighting each other.

They were saddened because they felt that there was a powerful external enemy ahead, yet their own talented individuals were not united and instead engaged in infighting, which naturally made them feel uncomfortable.

Not wanting to embarrass themselves further, many cultivators stepped forward to dissuade them.

Naturally, the top disciples of the major sects did not listen to such dissuasion.

However, during the process of dissuasion, the ordinary cultivators understood why their talented individuals were fighting each other.

They found a way to deal with Zhong Cang.

"You said Zhong Cang's sword needs to be charged, and if we don't give him time to charge, he can't unleash that sword?"

"Yes, many talented individuals said so, and they also said that without that stunning sword, although Zhong Cang is strong, they all have ways to deal with him."

At this point, the few people in the conversation looked at each other, their faces filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Hahaha, we actually still have a chance to win. Good, good, good!"

"Sob sob sob, to be honest, I had already given up hope. I just hoped that Zhong Cang would use his second sword. I didn't expect the situation to turn around!"

"Hahaha, we, the Cloud Dream Domain, are not weak!"

The emotions of crying and laughing at the same time were enough to show their excitement.

And this news quickly spread through the mouths of the people, spreading throughout the entire Tianhai Immortal City, and then throughout the Cloud Dream Domain.

The atmosphere of Tianhai Immortal City, which was previously low, became lively again.

Because they saw hope, the people of the Cloud Dream Domain breathed a sigh of relief and regained their spirits.

However, is the need to charge really Zhong Cang's weakness?
