Seeing the names of the four sword techniques, Qingfeng Li's expression changed . He could clearly sense the immense power contained in these four strikes .
There was no doubt in Qingfeng Li's mind that, if he were to learn all four sword moves, their power would shake up heaven and earth . Even if he were to encounter the Sky-Breaking Monarch again, he would be able to kill the other with ease .
It was only now that Qingfeng Li realized that, although the Sky-Breaking Monarch had acquired the Yin-Yang Saint Sword, he had never been able to learn these sword techniques . Having never practiced the Yin-Yang Saint Technique, the Sky-Breaking Monarch's spirit energy had been unable to enter the Yin-Yang Saint Sword .
Qingfeng Li clearly recalled that when he fought the Sky-Breaking Monarch, the sword techniques used by the Sky-Breaking Monarch had been weak . It clearly wasn't the Yin-Yang Sword Technique that he had been using .
Qingfeng Li's face lit up with joy . Unable to stop himself, he began to laugh loudly . Beside him, Xue Lin and Mengyao Xu both heard him and each shot him a questioning glance .
Xue Lin walked over and, reaching out, touched her fingers to Qingfeng Li's forehead . "Honey," she murmured, "you don't have a fever . Why are you laughing like that?"
"Heh, heh, heh, heh," Qingfeng Li continued to cackle . Unable to restrain himself, he reached out and pulled Xue Lin into his arms, placing a kiss upon her forehead .
Xue Lin's face went red . Giving Qingfeng Li a shove, she said, "There are so many people watching! What are you doing? Have you no shame?"
Still laughing, Qingfeng Li replied, "What's so shameful? We're among friends here . I have good news for you . This sword contains a set of Saint level sword techniques . I'm going to start learning them now . Once I master them, I'll be even more powerful when we get to the Fire Monarch Mountain . "
Hearing this, Xue Lin's pretty face lit up as well . Under her slender brows, her long lashes batted as she blinked . She was happy for her husband .
Even though Xue Lin had plenty of confidence in Qingfeng Li, she knew that her husband's enemy was the Ruler of the Planet, the Crimson Fire Monarch . This was absolutely a supreme master . The slightest slip-up on their part could result in death .
Now that Qingfeng Li had gained a set of Saint level sword techniques, he naturally had another card up his sleeve . Leaving Xue Lin and Mengyao Xu to drive the flying vessel together, Qingfeng Li walked toward the back of the deck .
Qingfeng Li stood still, carefully beginning to study the first strike of the Yin-Yang Sword Technique, the Darkened Skies Strike .
This first strike used the power of Yin, which manifested as a beam of black light .
Grasping the sword gently in his right hand, Qingfeng Li followed the path of meridians outlined in the technique with his vital essence, forming a set of Yin-Yang energy within his body .
He guided the Yin-Yang energy to his hand, his fingers, and finally into the long sword he was holding . The blade lit up with black light, piercing the heavens .
In an abrupt motion, Qingfeng Li swung the Yin-Yang Saint Sword in his hand . With a sharp slicing sound, a long tear spanning from the sky down to the ground appeared in the air before him . Heaven and earth parted before the strike .
Ahead, there had been a ten-kilometer-tall mountain . Its peak had shot into the clouds, straight into the heavens . As Qingfeng Li's sword energy passed, it sliced this massive mountain straight in half .
Demonic beasts, plants, stone, and animals; everything in the black sword energy's path was cleaved in half . None of them could put up any resistance .
Seeing the immense offensive power of Qingfeng Li's strike, the Chief Commander stood beside him, his jaw agape . His eyes were filled with shock . This was the first time he had ever witnessed such a powerful sword technique .
Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were surprised as well . The power of Qingfeng Li's sword attack had exceeded their expectations . They had no doubt that, had the sword energy hit any of them, they would have been chopped in half .
Seeing the power of his strike, Qingfeng Li shook his head, dissatisfied . "According to what's described in the sword technique, once the sword is swung, heaven and earth should crumple, the ground collapsing upon itself," he muttered . "I still haven't mastered this first strike . "
Beside him, the Chief Commander stuck out his tongue, shocked by what Qingfeng Li had just said . To him, this sword strike was definitely astonishingly powerful . Even a master of the half-step saint realm would not be able to dodge such an attack . Yet Qingfeng Li had said that its power wasn't enough .
Qingfeng Li's brows furrowed as he began to study this sword attack anew . His body radiated a black light, this was the light of Yin .
The light of Yin had a unique cold energy . As it entered the Yin-Yang Saint Sword, the blade radiated a dazzling light . However, the light being black, it gave an icy cold impression .
Suddenly, a thoughtful expression appeared on Qingfeng Li's face . He noticed that, as he was circulating the light of Yin within his body, the Mortal Purgatory Body technique was giving out its own black light .
A daring thought surfaced in Qingfeng Li's mind . The Mortal Purgatory Body was a powerful technique that could suppress Hell itself . It, too, held a powerful icy energy, the same as what was contained within the light of Yin .
Qingfeng Li activated the light of Yin within himself . At the same time, he circulated the Mortal Purgatory Body as well . Two streams of black light formed within him . One stream was of a dark, cold energy; the other was the energy of Hell .
As the two streams of energy entered Qingfeng Li's Yin-Yang Saint Sword, the blade underwent a significant change . Upon its surface, black talisman scriptures formed, containing an unfathomable power that seemed to come from the Ancient Era . It was as though a Saint had awakened .
Even Qingfeng Li himself felt the cold as he held the Yin-Yang Saint Sword . To the others, it was even more unbearable .
Qingfeng Li activated his Yin-Yang Saint Technique, releasing a wave of powerful Yin energy from his Yin-Yang Spirit Nucleus into the long sword . Then, he swung it forward in an abrupt motion .
Crack, crack, crack, crack…
A series of crackles sounded in the air . Where Qingfeng Li's Yin-Yang Saint Sword passed, heaven and earth shattered, sun and moon dimmed, the flow of time ceased, and mountains and rivers crumbled .
In the distance, everything had been shattered, sky, earth, mountains and rivers . It was as though the end of days was upon them . Plants and animals had all perished where the sword passed, turning into scattered ashes .
Seeing the power of this sword attack, it was no longer just the Chief Commander who was left in shock . Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake all had their jaws agape, awed by the immense power of the strike .
Black Puppy took in a sharp breath . "I'll be damned," it said . "Your sword technique is ridiculously strong . If it had hit me, I'd have been chopped in half for sure . "
Beside it, Sky-Devouring Snake also nodded . "That's right," it said . "Even though I've reached the Ninth level monarch realm, I still can't defend against that sword strike . This is the sword attack of a Saint . "
Huff, huff, huff, huff…
Qingfeng Li drew in several breaths . His body had been drained of vital essence . He wobbled on his feet, nearly falling to the ground .
Sighing, Qingfeng Li spoke, "Such power… This sword technique requires far too much vital essence . There's no way I can use it twice . "
Qingfeng Li felt that he didn't have nearly enough vital essence and spirit energy . After all, the strike he'd just released was the equivalent of an attack from a saint . He, on the other hand, was still at the half-saint realm . It was only natural that he couldn't use it too frequently .
