Chapter 1915 - 1916: Relentless Assault
The daggers in the air coagulated into a large group, then lined up and charged towards Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei knew what this technique was; he had encountered similar ones before.
The strength of this technique is that no matter how many powerful daggers you can knock away, the subsequent ones will continue to attack unless your technique continuously attacks.
But even if your technique can attack continuously, as long as it doesn't pose a threat to Cui Lingyun, he will keep attacking.
Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly in his heart; he certainly knew how to break this kind of attack.
But now he just wanted to test his Boundless Blade Technique, perfect for experimenting with the endurance of his Boundless Blade.
Ling Zhenfei's Boundless Blade Technique was unleashed, and those daggers in the air were instantly controlled by the spirit energy from the Boundless Blade, with no dagger able to approach.
Furthermore, the daggers controlled by the Boundless Blade would fall and disappear once they lost control.
Because these were merely spirit energy transformed from two daggers, originally capable of flying back after being knocked away to prepare for the next attack.
But the Boundless Blade Technique is special; it can control these daggers, causing them to break free from Cui Lingyun's control, thus disappearing upon hitting the ground.
Ling Zhenfei was surprised; he hadn't expected the Boundless Blade to have the ability to sever the connection of spirit energy, a capability that would be very useful in the future.
However, while dealing with those daggers in the air, Ling Zhenfei also felt somewhat uneasy.
It turns out that using the Boundless Blade Technique consumed a considerable amount of his spiritual power.
Indeed, it was the power of the soul that was heavily depleted.
After just a few moves, his soul was starting to struggle to endure.
Ling Zhenfei practiced dual cultivation of spirit energy; his cultivation technique had reached the Dawen Realm, but his soul was only in the Zhiyi Boundary.
Using such a powerful technique with a soul in the Zhiyi Boundary is naturally very difficult, and managing so many moves is due to the formidable reasons within Ling Zhenfei's soul.
Ling Zhenfei knew he couldn't keep playing around now; if he exhausted his soul force, it would be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei said to Cui Lingyun: "I was just playing with you, now let me show you my power."
Cui Lingyun responded with a smile: "Kid, you're really arrogant; come if you have the skill, I want to see what you're capable of."
Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly, increasing the spirit energy in his hand and further boosting the power of his soul.
Then he launched the Boundless Blade towards Cui Lingyun.
Although Ling Zhenfei had used the Boundless Blade Technique understood from the Wuliang Heart Sutra in the previous moves,
those were merely defensive, not offensive.
Now, this move by Ling Zhenfei was an attack, vastly different from before.
Cui Lingyun was initially confident because they had fought for so long, and had Ling Zhenfei possessed a powerful technique, it would have appeared long ago instead of now.
He didn't know what Ling Zhenfei had in mind, treating him as a test subject.
The defense of the Boundless Blade had just been tested, and now, it was time to test its offense.
Cui Lingyun was at the peak state of the Dawen Realm, similar to Ling Zhenfei's realm, making him an effective test subject.
This move combined Ling Zhenfei's spirit energy and spiritual power.
Ling Zhenfei practiced dual cultivation of spirit energy and soul, this unique combination making it possible to use the Boundless Blade Technique.
Previously, when Ling Zhenfei merely defended using the Boundless Blade Technique, he already felt his soul force somewhat inadequate.
If it were anyone else, even a powerful cultivator, without soul cultivation, they wouldn't withstand even two moves.
This could explain why the Wuliang Heart Sutra remains unsolved for so long.
Ling Zhenfei swung his knife.
Cui Lingyun, facing him, was startled; being at Dawen Peak, his perception was naturally strong.
As soon as Ling Zhenfei's move was unleashed, he sensed something different about it.
To describe it simply, if the range of this swing was a hundred meters, the spirit energy within came from one strike, but the spirit energy varied.
In some places it was heavy, in others light, fast in some areas, slow in others, with a wide range of attack in some places, while in others, it was narrow.
This moving attack made it impossible to adequately defend.
Striking down hard onto uneven ground will always miss some spots.
Cui Lingyun, with a lifetime of battles and encountering all sorts of people since he began cultivating, had never seen such a peculiar technique.
But there was no time for pondering; Ling Zhenfei's attack was imminent, requiring either a counter or a defense.
His spirit energy surged, and the spirit energy from the two daggers in his hands burst forth, trying to block Ling Zhenfei's attack from two directions.
These two strikes aimed to neutralize Ling Zhenfei's strike.
Bang! Bang!
The consecutive strikes clashed with Ling Zhenfei's spirit energy, managing to block it, but this strike was far more complex than mere dual strikes.
Bang!
The spirit energy from the Boundless Blade Technique struck Cui Lingyun, but he had condensed spirit energy defensively beforehand.
This strike shattered the spirit energy on Cui Lingyun.
However, it didn't end there; another strike came, this time overwhelming Cui Lingyun.
Bang!
The strike sent Cui Lingyun flying.
Cui Lingyun was dazed, and Ling Zhenfei was somewhat shocked, not expecting a single move to defeat Cui Lingyun.
Though luck played a part, it was truly astonishing, illustrating the power of the Boundless Blade Technique.
The spirit energy from the strike sent Cui Lingyun flying over ten meters before he fell to the ground.
Although this strike didn't injure Cui Lingyun, the experience was far from pleasant.
Quickly, Cui Lingyun got back up from the ground.
He looked at Ling Zhenfei incredulously, muttering: "Impossible, impossible. How could this happen?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed, saying: "Cui Lingyun, I've told you not to mess with me; I never start trouble."
Cui Lingyun said: "Spare me the words; if you don't want trouble, hand over the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map to the Guimou Sect."
Ling Zhenfei snorted coldly, retorting: "Cui Lingyun, am I flattering you too much? Do you believe this place could be your burial ground today?"
Ling Zhenfei's hand slightly condensed a wisp of spirit energy, merely a thread, but in Cui Lingyun's eyes, it seemed like the light of death.
