Chapter 474: 474
Buzz!
The entire area seemed to turn hot the instant the scarlet-red broadsword fully submerged into Yuan Hong’s head . At the same time, the deep cry of a sword echoed across the land .
The sword cry felt eternal and unending, seemingly transforming into omni present sword Qi that filled the area within a several thousand feet radius of Yuan Hong .
Ch ch!
Yuan Hong stood in the air as countless scars were cut open on the ground below his feet, revealing insides that were smooth as mirrors .
The pressure from Yuan Hong’s body steadily grew more and more powerful .
These changes were naturally immediately detected by Zhou Yuan . His expression instantly changed, because Yuan Hong’s Genesis Qi now felt extremely scorching and deadly .
It was completely different from before .
“What’s going on?” Confusion flashed in Zhou Yuan’s eyes .
On the mountain peak, Lu Yan, Zhou Tai and Zhang Yan’s expression fluctuated indeterminately in confusion, evidently also sensing the changes in Yuan Hong .
Outside the chief disciple peak, countless gazes also watched in confusion .
Elder Shen Taiyuan and Lu Song’s brows were tightly furrowed, their eyes rapidly flickering in thought as they stared at Yuan Hong’s figure . A long while later, they seemed to recall something as their pupils shrank a little .
“It’s the Sword Feeding Technique?”
Their expressions turned ugly . The Sword Feeding Technique was a rather unorthodox Genesis technique of Sword Cometh Peak . It fed one’s flesh and blood to the sword, allowing one to temporarily achieve a pseudo state of ‘sword and man as one’ . In this state, the wielder’s strength would be augmented, while also being bestowed the powers of the sword . . .
However, this Genesis technique was extremely damaging to the wielder, and would leave serious repercussions . In fact, even the sword would be tainted by a demonic aura that would make it difficult to control in the future .
It was precisely because of this high price that very few disciples would attempt learning it . Moreover, even if they did, they would not resort to it unless it was a life or death situation .
No one had expected Yuan Hong to activate at this juncture . . .
Numerous disciples broke out into whispers, many criticizing Yuan Hong . The latter’s methods were clearly quite unscrupulous .
High up in the sky, sect master Qing Yang frowned slightly when he saw this scene .
“Humph, it’s only a match between disciples of the same sect, and yet he even used such a technique that would even harm himself . What a vicious disciple . ” Peak master Lianyi swept a cold glance at peak master Ling Jun .
The other peak masters also shook their heads as if they had something to say about the matter .
Peak master Ling Jun’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Yuan Hong’s thirst for victory is indeed a little too strong . After this is over, he shall be reprimanded for such actions . However, the rules do state that one must do one’s best, and has never restricted or forbidden such techniques . ”
Sect master Qing Yang fell into thought for a brief moment, and could ultimately only shake his head in a helpless manner . Though this action of Yuan Hong was quite unsightly, it did not break any rules . Hence, it was not appropriate for him as sect master to be overly critical .
He looked towards Zhou Yuan’s figure on the mountain top with some pity . The fact that Zhou Yuan, a newly promoted disciple, had been able to push Yuan Hong to this point was already more than proof of his ability . This had perhaps been a little too difficult to swallow for the latter, forcing him to use such a sacrilegious technique .
Given Yuan Hong’s current state, things would likely become quite dangerous for Zhou Yuan .
…
Buzz buzz!
The humming of a sword continuously echoed across the area .
Yuan Hong’s originally muscular body began to shrivel at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye . Scarlet light surfaced in his pupils, making him look quite the terrifying sight .
Zhou Yuan could sense an increasingly dangerous aura from Yuan Hong’s body, causing him to tightly grip the Heavenly Yuan Brush as he focused all his attention on the latter .
“I truly never imagined… that the first time I use the Sword Feeding Technique would be because of you . ” Scarlet light surged within Yuan Hong’s pupils, his voice turning eerie and raspy as he stared at Zhou Yuan .
Zhou Yuan did not respond, merely continuing to watch his opponent with cold eyes, while his body tensed up in high alert .
