139. Two Hundred And Fifty Meters Of Saber Energy

Hidden Sword Sect was a very strange sect. They had an obsession with swords that was difficult for ordinary people to understand. For the disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect, swords were their family, even a part of their bodies.

They practice swordsmanship, fight with swords, and consider being second-best a disgrace. They all strive to be the best. Among them, the title "Number One Sword Under Heaven" is the most typical.

Every generation of the Hidden Sword Sect must fight to claim the title of "Number One Sword Under Heaven." If they cannot win the title, the whole sect would be shamed and seen as a disgrace!

For thousands of years, almost every generation of the Hidden Sword Sect had had the title of "Number One Sword Under Heaven." However, there have been exceptions.

For example, 900 years ago, during the era of the founder of the Nine Profound Sect. That era belonged to the founder of the Nine Profound Sect! No matter fists, swords, or sabers, the founder of Nine Profound Sect was the best in the world!

When the founder of the Nine Profound Sect dominated the world, the Hidden Sword Sect was very frustrated. Because they couldn't win the title of the Number One Sword Under Heaven no matter what. So, for an entire generation, Hidden Sword Sect was suppressed by the founder of the Nine Profound Sect. And this generation's "Number One Sword Under Heaven" of the Hidden Sword Sect was this man with graying temples in front of him, Liu Yibai!

Liu Yibai stopped. He calmly looked at Lin Fei.

"Immortal Slayer Saber, Lin Fei! Moreover, you're from the Nine Profound Sect. Back then, the founder of the Nine Profound Sect suppressed our Hidden Sword Sect for an entire generation. It seems that the Nine Profound Sect is about to rise again.

Late stage Master, saber intent at transcendence. You once defeated He Yuanzi and He Qingzi, two high-level Qi Condensation experts with your saber, making your name known throughout the world.

Not long ago, at the Martial Alliance Exchange, you defeated Yuan Gangzi, another top-tier Qi Condensation expert with your saber. Your martial talent is almost on par with the founder of the Nine Profound Sect back then."

Liu Yibai recounted Lin Fei's past achievements as if they were old friends reminiscing. However, their saber and sword intents constantly clashed and fought in the void. Some innate martial artists didn't even dare to approach them. Getting too close would cause them to be affected by the aftershocks of the two's Martial Dao True Intent, even innate martial artists couldn't withstand it.

The entire Sword Tomb could now only accommodate Lin Fei and Liu Yibai.

Lin Fei's gaze was also calm. He said lightly, "Number One Sword Under Heaven' Liu Yibai. Thirty years ago, you left Hidden Sword Sect to challenge the thirteen martial factions, remaining undefeated. Later, you defeated numerous sword masters to claim the title of Number One Sword Under Heaven. Since then, you returned to Hidden Sword Sect and sealed your sword for thirty years. Thirty years without drawing the sword. Liu Yibai, are you going to unsheath your sword today?"

Liu Yibai stared at Lin Fei and said calmly, "I've been sitting in my cave dwelling for thirty years, just to break through my shackles. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to break through my shackles in thirty years. I understand, I need an opportunity. An opportunity to unsheathe my sword."

Now that you're here, I sense that opportunity. After thirty years of concealing my sword, today, I shall reveal it in your presence. With this strike, I hope the 'Immortal Slayer Saber' will oblige!"

Gradually, Liu Yibai's hand gripped the sword hilt.

"I, too, possess a saber; when my saber is unleashed, all others bow!"

Lin Fei also reached out his fair hand. A terrifying saber energy brewed within him. Once it erupted, it would surely shake the heavens.

Liu Yibai had concealed his sword for thirty years. To break through, he needed someone to test his sword against. Not just anyone was worthy of being Liu Yibai's test subject.

Lin Fei was qualified. Because he was the Immortal Slayer Saber. He could suppress a hundred sword intents, making ten thousand swords wail in despair!

Lin Fei had now advanced to the late master stage. His saber intent had reached transcendence. He, too, wished to test his saber. It had been a long time since he had swung his saber with all his might.

In the entire world, few could now compel Lin Fei to strike with all his strength. One who had once dominated the world's swordsmen as the world's number one sword. Another, the Immortal Slayer Saber, whose saber would surely slay immortals, its fame shaking the world!

One to test a sword. One to test a saber.

Suddenly, the wind began to blow atop the Sword Tomb. The cold wind pierced to the bone. Clothes rustled in the wind. Both stood silently in their places and no one spoke.

"Whoosh."

Liu Yibai made his move. His swordsmanship was never about reacting. His sword emphasized the word "first." One step ahead, always ahead!

Thus, Liu Yibai unsheathed his sword first. A dazzling sword light instantly tore through the void.

In Lin Fei's eyes, it seemed as if the entire world contained only this single sword. Brilliant white light. A sharp sword edge.

Liu Yibai was, after all, the only Grand Master of the entire Hidden Sword Sect. His Innate True Qi had already reached perfection!

This strike was also the first time the Grand Master, Liu Yibai, had taken action after concealing his sword for thirty years. And it was a full-force strike. His sword had always been a one-strike weapon. Victory or defeat all in this single strike.

Lin Fei also unleashed his saber. However, his method of doing so was quite unique. He extended his hand. Then, the Saber Qi within his body exploded with a roar.

"Vroom."

In the next moment, a surging, torrential saber energy, like a volcanic eruption, instantly burst forth from his body.

"Tyrant Saber!"

The saber Lin Fei condensed was the Tyrant Saber from the "Heavenly Saber Art." The vast saber energy rapidly converged in the void. However, this time the saber energy extended far beyond thirty meters.

Thirty meters, sixty meters, ninety meters, one hundred and twenty meters, one hundred and fifty meters...

The saber energy in front of Lin Fei rapidly soared. Incredibly, it rose from thirty meters to two hundred and fifty meters! The terrifying saber energy exuded an endless aura of dominance. This was the Tyrant Saber! Moreover, it was the Tyrant Saber condensed from two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy!

Lin Fei's eyes were deep. He calmly gazed at the sword light in the void.

"This is my saber! Heavenly Saber Art, strike!"

Lin Fei used his palm as a saber. Then, with a wave of his hand,

"Boom."

two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy resembled a towering pillar, emanating a ruthless Tyrant Saber energy, vast and overwhelming, crushing everything in its path.

Originally, the sky around them seemed to contain only that single sword light. But now, as soon as Lin Fei's two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy appeared, the sword light shattered.

Seeing Lin Fei's two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy, Liu Yibai felt a shock in his heart. Then, the sword light in his hand unexpectedly surged again. Even the saber intent seemed to be on the verge of reaching its limit, about to transform.

But it wasn't enough. Still not enough. Nowhere near enough!

...

Just a little bit more. With just a little bit more, Liu Yibai's sword intent could reach perfection.

"Crack."

The next moment, the saber energy and sword light didn't even collide. Liu Yibai's sword actually began to show faint cracks, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.

"The sword... is breaking..."

Liu Yibai closed his eyes. This sword had accompanied him for decades, once wielding to dominate the world, earning the reputation of "Number One Sword Under Heaven."

But now, the sword was about to break. One crack after another appeared on its surface, torn apart by the saber energy. If it weren't for his Innate True Qi protecting it, it would have shattered long ago.

"Bang."

Finally, the sword in Liu Yibai's hand completely crumbled.

"Whoosh."

However, the next moment, Liu Yibai suddenly opened his eyes. And his sword intent, at this very moment, transformed like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon, reaching perfection!

Sword intent perfected!

At this moment, Liu Yibai finally achieved perfection in his sword intent!

"Sword, come forth!"

Liu Yibai beckoned. His voice seemed to reverberate through the void.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Instantly, countless swords on the Sword Tomb flew out, numerous swords hummed softly. Yet, they did not wail in despair but rejoiced. They were jubilant. It was as if these swords, hidden deep within the Sword Tomb, had been granted a new lease on life.

One sword after another overlapped, radiating dazzling sword light. It also stretched almost one hundred meters.

"Slash!"

Liu Yibai also fiercely waved his hand.

Immediately, the one hundred meters of sword light, likewise slashed towards the void.

"Boom."

Two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy and one hundred meters of sword light, at this moment, finally collided completely!
