Translator: 549690339

It does make sense that someone who could kill a Grandmaster with one slap must not be far off from a Semi Great Grandmaster in strength, even if they’re not quite a Great Grandmaster themselves.

“Five seventh-grade Spiritual Medicines!”

Du Yuying joyfully extended a delicate white hand, stating her demands.

“Alright, consider them yours!”

Xu Yan grinned ear to ear.

Another five seventh-grade Spiritual Medicines, they turn out to be not as hard to obtain as he thought.

“Alright, after girl Du, all of you are next in line to die!”

Yin Hong was furious.

Negotiating in front of him over five seventh-grade Spiritual Medicines to counter him?

Was defeating Yin Hong that cheap?

The audacity!

If it were not for the influential person behind him demanding Du Yuying be returned in perfect condition, he wouldn’t even spare Du Yuying!

“Who are you trying to scare?”

Xu Yan brushed it off casually.

As long as his opponent wasn’t a Great Grandmaster, he had no fear!

Even if a Great Grandmaster did show up, he could always run if he couldn’t win.

Du Yuying and others quickly backed away, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

Boom!

Yin Hong made his move, with a wave of his folding fan, a terrifying power like rushing torrents swept over, its ferocity shocking everyone.

Xu Yan unsheathed his sword, the atmosphere rippled with his Sword Intent. Amidst the thunderous noise, he split open the incoming wave. Mountains collapsed, lives vanished!

Yin Hong’s complexion changed drastically!

What kind of swordsmanship was this?

Why did it inspire such a dreadful sense of impending doom, leaving him feeling hair-raisingly terrified?

“I must not underestimate this!”

In that split second, he purged his contemptuous attitude, his face becoming solemn.

With a swing of his folding fan, a force like a huge wave descended from the sky. The ground was immediately blasted into a deep trench, and the fan’s whirlwind threw up masses of dirt and debris.

The terrible power, like countless surging waves, all exerted by Yin Hong who is a Semi Great Grandmaster, was continually pouring down on Xu Yan.

“He’s so strong!”

Xu Yan felt the pressure.

His sword intent surged, his Sword Qi flowed like countless raging rivers, incessantly spilling forth. Simultaneously, his left palm shot out, deflecting the incoming wave with the force of a roaring golden dragon.

“Who will be victorious in this battle?”

On the distant side, Du Yuying watched with worry etched on her face.

The intensity of the battle suggested Yin Hong had the upper hand. His wave-like power tumbled wildly, debris shot up into the air, and the ground gorged with trenches.

“What do you think, Elder Yan?”

With anxiety, Du Yuying posed a question.

“Hard to say!”

Yan Kuan looked serious.

Helplessly he thought, “I can’t really make it out either, the battle’s too intense to see clearly enough for a definite conclusion!”

Du Yuying took a deep breath and ordered one of her guards, “You should immediately rush back for help!”

“Yes, Miss!”

One of the guards immediately took off at full speed, choosing to run on foot rather than horseback. Given his strength, he was faster than any horse.

“I hope they can hold on until help arrives!”

Du Yuying’s face revealed her worry.

“Miss, the Great Grandmaster of our family may not be able to break free.”

Yan Kuan sighed.

Du Yuying fell silent.

But she knew deep down, even if just a Grandmaster could come to their aid, it would change the tide of the situation.

Xu Yan went berserk, attacking with the power of Descending Dragon Palm in one hand, and tirelessly executing Sword Intent with the other. However, he was still unable to shatter the wave-like force.

“Ever since I broke through to the Innate Realm, 1 haven’t had such a rejuvenating fight. As a martial artist, it’s necessary to understand the essence of Martial Arts through fights.”

Xu Yan’s mental state was clear, and his eyes were resolute.

Even though he was at a slight disadvantage, it didn’t bother him in the slightest.

“The Sword Intent of Mountains and Rivers. It sufficiently represents desolation, but lacks vitality. Since it represents mountains and rivers, how could it lack vitality? A mountain and river devoid of vitality are ultimately just a barren land.”

Xu Yan quietly contemplated.

As the fight grew fiercer, Yin Hong seemed to want to finish it as quickly as possible, to avoid unexpected complications. After all, this was Du Family territory.

If the Du Family could free up a Great Grandmaster, his death would be certain!

“Die!”

Yin Hong roared, his folding fan completely open, transforming into a beam of icy light that burst forth from the roaring waves.

The speed was incredibly fast – in the blink of an eye, it had already reached Xu Yan’s throat.

However, Xu Yan’s figure abruptly vanished only to appear elsewhere in the next instant, a sword light shooting straight towards Yin Hong. The speed was beyond Yin Hong’s anticipation!

Shh!

The clothes on his shoulder were slashed open.

Yin Hong’s expression slightly changed, shock filled his heart; “What kind of movement technique is this? So cunning and strange!”

Shoosh!

Xu Yan disappeared again, his figure appearing in a different direction.

Yin Hong’s expression was dark, his folding fan returned to his hand, he ascended on the spot and slapped downwards, causing a terrifying wave to pour out in mid-air, followed by an explosive eruption of dirt all around him.

The rolling dirt turned into a surge, attacking from all directions.

Xu Yan slapped outwards, eighteen golden giant dragons roared out, the Sword Intent of rivers and mountains struck, clashing with the overwhelming power of Yin Hong’s shockwave.

Rumble!

Such terrifying power, like a huge mountain pressing down, the surrounding wave of dirt made even the golden giant dragon seem as if it was stuck in muck.

Xu Yan’s figure flashed, and he retreated.

“Where are you going!”

At this moment, the intention to kill emanated from Yin Hong, and amidst the whirling of his palms, endless waves of shock power continued to pour out.

The ground’s dirt rolled non-stop, transforming into waves of dirt, appearing like marshy magma, trapping the eighteen fearsome giant dragons within.

“Young master!”

From far away, Du Yuying was terribly worried.

At this moment, it was clear to see that Xu Yan was at a disadvantage, in danger at any moment.

Xu Yan was not flustered in the slightest, one sword after another piercing out, the Sword Intent of rivers and mountains consistently emerged, filling the surroundings with an aura of slaughter. Even as the eighteen giant dragons crumbled, his expression remained unchanged.

All of a sudden, a sense of death pervaded the air, the battlefield seemed to fall into an aura of deathly stillness.

The weeds on the ground seemed to lose all vitality at this moment.

Yin Hong’s eyebrows twitched, his heart filled with fear, “What kind of swordsmanship is this? Why is it so strange?”

“Die!”

Yin Hong’s aura exploded, the dirt shockwave instantly swept through, planning to completely bury Xu Yan in it.

“Now is the time!”

Xu Yan’s eyes flashed, life sprouted in the overturned rivers and mountains.

A dragon’s chant resounded among these rivers and mountains.

Roar!

This dragon’s chant, as if containing the might of heaven and earth, in an instant, the sky shifted, rivers and mountains appeared, and a golden dragon hovered.

Xu Yan stabbed out with his sword, like the rivers and mountains were overshadowing the heavens and earth, the golden dragon roared, like the crack of thunder, Sword Intent shattering everything, and the dragon’s chant shook one’s soul.

In an instant, the shockwave crumbled, countless flying dirt seemed to become a part of the rivers and mountains, the golden dragon soared, with a chant of the dragon, it agitated the wind and clouds, as if the power of the world was pouring out.

Rumble!

One sword broke through layers of shockwaves, one sword swept over the rivers and mountains.

Yin Hong only felt as if a dragon’s chant echoed within his mind, shaking his spirit, and even his breath froze for a moment. What was even more terrifying was that he seemed to gaze upon the endless rivers and mountains, hearing the golden dragon’s roar.

One chant of the dragon’s voice seemed to plunge him into the rivers and mountains, feeling the vitality of the mountains and rivers and witnessing their grandeur, and seeing the golden dragon soaring in the sky.

The rivers and mountains are beautiful, which can fascinate one!

However, this is also a horrifying killing technique!

“Not good!”

Ultimately, he was a half-step Great Grandmaster, having experienced countless battles, and survived deadly battles before.

At this moment, Yin Hong roared out in rage, bit his tongue forcefully, causing blood to surge out, his aura erupted, a terrifying wave of shock power enveloped his whole body.

The folding fan unfolded, the wide surface blocking his upper body.

At the same time, he explosively retreated.

The power of the shockwave swept over, as if it could break apart the rivers and mountains, and seemed to separate him from the magnificent rivers and mountains.

Bang!

A force of impact came from his chest, shaking his internal organs, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Shh!

Even though some kind of treasure fold was protecting his throat, he still felt a slight stinging sensation, as if an invisible force pierced through the fan, stabbing into his throat.

He was nearly impaled by a sword!

Yin Hong explosively retreated, his heart filled with an endless fear, looking at Xu Yan, his heart was trembling.

He had nearly met his end at his opponent’s hand!

That sword was too terrifying, especially that roar, which shook his spirit, and seemed to drag him into the rivers and mountains.

If he had not been quick to react, he would be a corpse by now!

“What kind of swordsmanship is that? It could plunge one into an illusion?”

Yin Hong’s face was full of uncertainty!

At this moment, Xu Yan’s heart was filled with excitement, “Finally, 1 have made sense of the Sword Dao, this is the Dao of the sword, not just swordsmanship, but a killing technique based on Sword Intent.

So, it is now that i have truly understood the Dao of the sword.

“This sword, let’s call it ‘Rivers and Mountains Roar with the Dragon’.”

‘Rivers and Mountains Roar with the Dragon’, has transcended the category of merely swordsmanship and embodies an authentic Sword Dao technique!

An art of killing, based on Sword Intent, that’s unleashed..
