Chapter 990: One Sword Strike, Never Retreat!
Almost simultaneously...
The six elders of the He Huan Holy Land were also shocked!
"You... how did you... how did you achieve this?" The six elders of the He Huan Holy Land stared in astonishment at the scene before them, completely dumbfounded.
Their decades of understanding of swordsmanship had collapsed in this moment!
About thirty breaths ago...
After witnessing the Devilish Muscle Man's awakening of the Armament Haki, Sword Nameless and the other Five Zhao Yun's Flow members also had their own realizations!
"I'm sorry... my Wooden Sword... you were forged into a divine weapon with the Five-Color Saint Stone by Brother Ming. However, all this time, our swordsmanship has been too weak, preventing you from unleashing your true power!" Sword Nameless gently touched the Wooden Sword in his hand and slowly spoke.
Sword Nameless truly loved swordsmanship!
Especially sword flying!
The legendary act of using a flying sword to take an opponent's head from thousands of miles away was something he truly loved!
From childhood to adulthood, Sword Nameless had watched every movie, anime, and novel related to flying swords!
That's why, after entering the Reversal Devil Immortal, he formed the Five Zhao Yun's Flow with four friends who shared his passion for flying swords!
However, it was only after witnessing the invincible posture of the Devilish Muscle Man that Sword Nameless was deeply moved!
Did he love flying swords?
Absolutely!
But had he ever allowed his flying sword to truly unleash its full power?
No, he hadn't!
If Brother Ming were here, using the Wooden Saint Stone among the Five-Color Saint Stones to forge his divine weapon Wooden Sword, he could easily decapitate the six elders of the He Huan Holy Land!
However, he and the other four friends, despite having higher cultivation bases, greater numbers, and better equipment than the six elders, could only fight to a draw!
The weak link wasn't the flying sword!
It was himself!
In an instant, Sword Nameless recalled the saying he once loved the most in swordsmanship! It was the soul of every true sword cultivator!
One sword strike, never retreat!
"My Wooden Sword... I used to neglect you... but now..."
"I'm willing to fight alongside you!!!"
"Let me once again feel your soul!!!"
...
Sword Nameless didn't hesitate. He threw all the top-grade artifacts on his body to the ground, along with all his magic cards. He discarded everything and bared his upper body, abandoning everything!
He only tightened his grip on the Wooden Sword in his hand!
Almost simultaneously, Azure Falling Yellow Springs, Flame Column Big Brother, Collapsing Void God, and The Only Skillful with a Knife did the same!
The four of them abandoned all other sources of power!
Their top-grade artifacts!
Control over the Flame of Heaven!
Even the comprehension of the Temple of Magic's conceptual cards!
All abandoned!
"???" This scene left the six elders of the He Huan Holy Land bewildered.
What were these five guys thinking?
Why did they abandon their top-grade artifacts? Even dismiss their control over the Flame of Heaven? And that eerie power that didn't belong to them...
These powers that had originally given them such a huge advantage were now all discarded?
Why?
The six elders of the He Huan Holy Land couldn't understand!
But soon, the six elders of the He Huan Holy Land were shaken!
After discarding all external sources of power, Sword Nameless finally heard the voice of the Wooden Sword in his hand!
It was the soul of the Wooden Sword, its spirit, and even its will!
"Splash!" In the astonished gazes of the six elders of the He Huan Holy Land, an eerie green light burst forth from the Wooden Sword in Sword Nameless' hand. This green light continuously covered Sword Nameless' body, transforming him into a slightly illusory shade of green.
This scene was something the six elders, who had immersed themselves in swordsmanship their entire lives, had never seen or heard of.
As a sword cultivator, as someone who pursued the ultimate in swordsmanship, the six elders didn't strike, but instead watched this scene in astonishment.
The six elders of the He Huan Holy Land even gained a sense of realization!
Their path of swordsmanship... had been wrong!
The postures of these five youngsters before them...
That was true swordsmanship!
"Unity of Man and Sword!!!" Sword Nameless and the other four roared in unison!
The next moment...
"Boom!!!" Simultaneously, the five swords slowly merged with their wielders, transforming into incredibly sharp flying swords with astonishing sword intent!
"Swoosh!" The five flying swords passed through in an instant, piercing through the bodies of the six elders of the He Huan Holy Land!
Accompanied by cracks of various colors spreading and diffusing across their bodies, the six elders of the He Huan Holy Land, however, didn't feel fear or dread!
Instead, they felt a sense of moving and contentment!
"So, this is true swordsmanship! So, this is the legendary Unity of Man and Sword?"
"To be able to die under the impact of such an ultimate legendary technique..."
"I have no regrets!"
...
The six elders of the He Huan Holy Land closed their eyes in contentment, and then their bodies shattered, dying completely.
"Hehe, a bunch of losers!" One of the Heavenly Guards, known as the Ten Devils, a Half-Step Nascent Soul expert, arrogantly declared.
Beside the Ten Devils of the Heavenly Guards stood a total of ten Devil Puppets!
Each of these Devil Puppets was a Half-Step Nascent Soul realm expert who, after being killed by the Ten Devils of the Heavenly Guards, had their bodies refined into Devil Puppets!
Injected with demonic energy, their physical bodies enhanced, inscribed with formations, and imbued with terrifying power, they were continually refined, and then the grudges and resentment of over ten thousand cultivators were infused into them, giving them terrifying malevolent energy!
So, the Ten Devils of the Heavenly Guards effortlessly left the five sticking-together burly men heavily injured.
"That move of yours did surprise me! Unfortunately, you can only restrain one target at a time. This is your biggest weakness!" The Ten Devils of the Heavenly Guards sneered with disdain.
"Damn it!!!" Dio-sama wasn't willing to accept it. He waved his hand!
"Big Wood, Big Wood, Big Wood!!!" Dio-sama's substitute Zuo Nenghu rushed forward, trying to struggle!
"Boom!!!" However, the Half-Step Nascent Soul realm Devil Puppet only needed one punch to heavily wound Dio-sama's substitute Zuo Nenghu, nearly blasting him apart.
Looking at his substitute Zuo Nenghu collapsing and his body shattering, about to dissipate, Dio-sama cried.
"Bunch of losers! What's this 'Big Wood'? Without a physical body to support it, with such a short condensation time, what kind of power could it possibly have?"
"Most importantly, all of my Devil Puppets possess the power of the Dual Accomplishment Concept! You don't even have the power of the Concept, just a bunch of useless Fake Heaven Pills. Where do you get the courage to fight me?"
...
The Ten Devils
of the Heavenly Guards sneered disdainfully and arrogantly taunted, belittling Dio-sama and his group.
However, at this moment, Dio-sama saw the Devilish Muscle Man's display of power and heard his words!
Everything can be armed with Haki, everything can awaken!
Who said there's no Concept? That you can't defeat a Concept?
In an instant, Dio-sama was shaken!
In the span of a breath...
Dio-sama seemed to see the figure of a small child floating before his eyes...
