Ever since he began the ascent, to better sharpen himself, Shen Mo had never actively practiced these two types of external magic! Now, facing the joint attack from Meng Sanchi and Li Chen, he no longer concealed his skills. With his robust physical strength, he withstood the pressure of Tianshan Mountain. The spared Purple Knack Mana was then channeled into the upcoming fight. Seeing Shen Mo’s aura surge explosively, Meng Sanchi and Li Chen knew he had used a trump card, so they also raised the stakes! Check latest chapters at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩 Meng Sanchi slightly closed his eyes. He seemed to be communicating with the spirit of the magic sword in his hand. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was as sharp as a sword, making it difficult for anyone to meet his stare. As for Li Chen, he lifted the lid of the black coffin and summoned a Ghoul whose strength was no less than his own. Seeing this, Shen Mo smiled faintly. With a flick of his sleeve, seven brilliant small swords whistled out. The high-grade profound Yaoguang Sword, the middle-grade profound Celestial Machine Sword and Tianshu Sword, and four low-grade profound Big Dipper sword embryos, trembled incessantly! Before Li Chen and his destined Ghoul could attack Shen Mo, The Big Dipper Sword Array enveloped them. Blade energy raged. The Ghoul roared! Yet, despite their tide-like attacks, they still could not break the Sword Array. The Big Dipper Sword Array—even experts like Master Hong Jue and the Ghost Bride had been unable to break out of this array. Now that a Dao sword had formed within it, its power was even greater than before! Given enough time, Shen Mo could even activate the Sword Array to utterly annihilate Li Chen and his destined Ghoul on the spot. As for why he didn’t imprison Meng Sanchi in the Sword Array as well? The reason was simple. Meng Sanchi possessed a Natural Sword Body and had an extraordinary perception of all kinds of swordplay, sword intent, and even Sword Arrays, far surpassing ordinary people. If Shen Mo trapped him in The Big Dipper Sword Array as well, Meng Sanchi might instead discern a weakness in the array’s operation and, by joining forces with Li Chen, break his Sword Array! Shen Mo was confident he could defeat Meng Sanchi even if left outside the array. Meng Sanchi glanced at the Sword Array, his eyes calm and indifferent as water. Only the piercing sword intent in his eyes seemed on the verge of materializing into tiny swords, stabbing towards Shen Mo. "Originally, I thought Brother Li would be my greatest competitor on this journey!" Meng Sanchi said. "I never expected that Brother Shen, despite not having an exceptional Spiritual Body, would emerge to contend with me for the top spot on Tianshan Mountain. In that case, let’s have a proper fight!" With that said, the sharp sword in Meng Sanchi’s hand trembled, transforming into a dazzling Sword Light aimed directly at Shen Mo’s face. "My thoughts exactly," Shen Mo replied. As if sensing Shen Mo’s soaring battle intent, the Demon Slaying Sword hummed joyfully like a child, its shadow flickering as it met Meng Sanchi’s attack. This sword genius from the Heaven Sword Sect was undoubtedly formidable in his swordplay! He performed various ingenious sword moves as casually as eating and drinking. While fully displaying the True Intention of his sword techniques, he could still ascend to another level, revealing the profound mysteries within the sword with an effortless, untraceable grace... In Shen Mo’s estimation, several sword techniques Meng Sanchi had mastered had already surpassed the Perfection realm. They even possessed a hint of Transcendence! He had reached an incredibly high standard, having glimpsed a corner of ’Reaching the Peak’. But, so what? Shen Mo thought. When it came to swordplay, he considered himself second to none, not even to Spirit Sea Realm experts who had been immersed in the Sword Path for many years! The Supreme Clarity Sword Technique, not considered high-grade in the Riverside Sect’s cultivation method library, he had already cultivated to the ’Transcendence’ level. Moreover, the experience bar for this realm was already more than half full! So what if Meng Sanchi has a Natural Sword Body? So what if he has mastered various swordplay magic techniques at the Perfection realm? So what if he constantly polished his sword heart in the Red Dust, rendering it clear and spotless? His Proficiency in Swordsmanship was second to none! A ten-foot Sword Light, imbued with a Carefree intent, shattered the formidable sword aura enveloping Meng Sanchi! This Sword Spirit Body prodigy lightly trembled his sharp sword. He intended to use his sword’s momentum to neutralize this sharp attack! But as their Sword Lights clashed, he was shocked to realize that even with his Proficiency in Swordsmanship, he couldn’t parry the Demon Slaying Sword’s thrust. The sharp edge of the Demon Slaying Sword pierced Meng Sanchi’s body! Meng Sanchi felt a sharp pain in his chest and immediately mobilized the sword aura-like Mana in his body, frantically trying to block the invading sword Qi. At the same time, he crushed the sword-shaped jade pendant hanging on his wrist. A formidable stream of sword Qi gushed from the jade pendant, enveloping Meng Sanchi and flinging him away, landing him beyond the six stone steps. Under the oppressive might of the Heavenly Monarch’s sword Qi, this stream of sword Qi did not immediately dissipate. It continued to swirl around Meng Sanchi, granting him some temporary ability to fly. This wisp of sword Qi had been specially refined for him by his Master, the Dustless Sword Master. It was equivalent to a single-use magic artifact. If used at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, this wisp of Wuchen Sword Qi could allow him to instantly fly over a hundred miles. Now, pierced by Shen Mo’s Demon Slaying Sword, he had been forced to reluctantly use this exotic treasure! In a flash, Shen Mo had a good idea of the origin of this suddenly appearing sword Qi. Having such a powerful Master is truly amazing! Shen Mo felt a pang of envy. However, on second thought, I have the Destiny Panel. What the hell do I need a Master for? Living day in and day out with an expert whose five senses and divine sense are extremely acute... Who knows when my secrets might be exposed? That would be a huge problem. Meng Sanchi relied on his exotic treasure to escape my sword once, but what about the next time? And the time after that? By then, if he isn’t dead, he’ll be riddled with holes! Estimating the Mana remaining in his body, Shen Mo, wielding the Demon Slaying Sword, once again advanced towards Meng Sanchi. Due to his Sword Spirit Body, Meng Sanchi had extremely strong resistance to sword Qi and sword intent. Even after being pierced by the Demon Slaying Sword, he didn’t immediately lose his ability to fight. In fact, with the Dustless Sword Master’s sword Qi protecting him, his strength was even slightly greater than before. But at this moment, the indifference in his eyes had completely vanished! He seemed to have snapped out of some peculiar state and was unable to re-enter it. Shen Mo saw that, besides shock and unwillingness, there was also a trace of bewilderment on his face! He was even a fraction of a second late in reacting to Shen Mo’s slashes of sword Qi, barely managing to deflect them with his magic sword. As Shen Mo continued his relentless pursuit, Meng Sanchi retreated step by step, continuously backing down the stairs, completely lacking the formidable, unblockable sharpness he had displayed earlier! A man like a sword—too rigid, easily broken! Shen Mo recalled Meng Sanchi’s weakness as noted by ’Insight into All Beings’. A sense of realization dawned upon him. Meng Sanchi—his name means sword, and his personality is even more like a sharp blade. The more it’s honed, the sharper it becomes; but if its edge is broken by an even sharper blade, it’s difficult to maintain that sword-like keenness. To put it plainly, he was from the Meng Immortal Clan and possessed a Natural Sword Body. Furthermore, with the Dustless Sword Master’s meticulous guidance, his sword skills suppressed all his peers! He had lofty ambitions and immense pride! Once he suffered a setback, he would fall into a spiral of self-doubt and confusion. Of course, his Master, the Dustless Sword Master, had also noticed this weakness and had him specially cultivate the "Red Dust Hundred Tribulations Sutra". If he could overcome this current ’Shen Mo’ tribulation, his cultivation base and Proficiency in Swordsmanship would increase by another three parts! Naturally, Shen Mo would not give him the chance to overcome this tribulation. His formidable physical strength and the Mana in his Dantian were fully mobilized, his body emitting ominous creaking sounds as it groaned under the unbearable strain. A dazzling light erupted from the Demon Slaying Sword, engulfing Meng Sanchi!
