Lan Xin and Mo Yan have been old rivals for many years, both very familiar with each other's tactics.
Neither dared to perform the Divine Mountain Sword Skill from the first move to the last. Instead, they continuously disrupted the order of their moves based on the situation to keep their opponent from predicting them.
However, no matter how they changed, they could quickly adapt to each other's variations.
Over time, the power of Mo Yan's Cultivation Realm became apparent. His four-meter-long Sword Qi was a full meter longer than Lan Xin's, making his Combat Power even stronger. Lan Xin did not dare to recklessly attack.
Mo Yan did not fully exert the power of the Primary Level Enhanced Gene, still holding back against Lan Xin.
Apart from the last three moves of the Divine Mountain Sword Skill, Lan Xin had already used every other move once.
Lan Xin, hating Mo Yan for his insulting words, launched fierce, merciless attacks, forcing Mo Yan to stay on his toes.
"Lan Xin, junior sister, if you don't stop pressing step by step, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Hehe, have you ever been polite?"
Lan Xin sneered, her sword not pausing for a moment, suddenly changing to perform one of the last three moves of the Seventy-two Divine Mountain Sword Skills,
Snow Cage Divine Mountain.
With a sky full of sword shadows accompanied by a fierce Killing Aura, Mo Yan was enveloped, bound to be crushed in an instant.
If it were merely a competition of sword moves, whenever Lan Xin used this move in the past, Mo Yan would have difficulty coping.
But today was not about sword moves; it was about overall Combat Power, and Mo Yan was not backing down.
Mo Yan let out a loud shout, his Sword Qi suddenly surged, the four-meter Sword Qi becoming even more powerful, sweeping horizontally towards the myriad sword shadows above him.
Mo Yan's Sword Qi instantly shattered the sword shadows overhead, broke through Lan Xin's Snow Cage Divine Mountain, and then with a forward strike, he aimed directly at Lan Xin.
This is the advantage of absolute strength, no matter how skilled your sword moves are, a single sweeping strike can dissolve your techniques.
Lan Xin had anticipated this outcome, her Longsword suddenly changing, executing the second of the last three moves of the Divine Mountain Sword Skill,
Ice Sealing Divine Mountains. Follow current novels on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Beneath the sky full of sword shadows, thick white frost mist appeared, this frost mist carrying a strong Killing Aura, enveloping Mo Yan once again.
Mo Yan, greatly alarmed, quickly flipped backwards to retreat.
Lan Xin pressed forward, her Longsword following like a shadow, the white frost mist with Killing Aura closely pursuing Mo Yan.
Mo Yan retreated to a tent, and as the white frost mist reached it, a corner of the tent was brushed by the frost mist, instantly freezing and then quietly shattering into pieces.
Mo Yan executed a backflip, retreating tens of meters, caught his breath with a loud shout, and leaped forward, his intense Sword Qi once again roared forth, splitting Lan Xin's white frost mist in two.
Divine Mountain Avalanche!
This was the last move of the Divine Mountain Sword Skill.
Lan Xin soared into the sky, then flipped upside down, diving towards Mo Yan, her Longsword swirling, the Sword Qi turning into huge hailstones, with thunderous roars, rolling towards Mo Yan.
Before her Genetic Evolution, Lan Xin could only execute Snow Cage Divine Mountain among the last three moves of the Seventy-two Divine Mountain Sword Skills.
The final two moves, Ice Sealing Divine Mountains and Divine Mountain Avalanche, were essentially impossible to perform without substantial Inner Strength as a foundation, and without decades of Cultivation, these moves could not take shape.
The other junior sisters of the Shenming Mountain Sect also mastered the move Snow Cage Divine Mountain quite proficiently, and only after reaching the Intermediate Primordial Gene could they gradually perform the last two moves. After reaching the Advanced Primordial Gene, they could become more purified and unleash the power of these moves.
In the past, when Lan Xin and Mo Yan sparred in swordsmanship, whenever Lan Xin used the move Snow Cage Divine Mountain, Mo Yan would essentially concede.
Later, as Mo Yan's speed of Genetic Evolution increased rapidly, until recently surpassing Lan Xin after breaking through the Primary Level Enhanced Gene first, he formed a Level gap and thus surpassed Lan Xin.
With the sound of thunder, Lan Xin's Divine Mountain Avalanche, filled with Killing Aura, thundered down, enveloping Mo Yan completely.
Mo Yan let out a long howl, soaring into the sky, his longsword stabbing fiercely into the emptiness above.
With a sizzling explosion,
the intense Sword Qi burst forth, piercing through the falling hail, shattering the Sword Qi-induced hail triggered by Lan Xin, and heading straight for Lan Xin.
At this moment, Lan Xin, in mid-air, found it extremely difficult to dodge the Sword Qi thrust by Mo Yan.
Mo Yan's eyes were bloodshot with fury; since you, Lan Xin, have been constantly trying to kill me, today I will not spare you either.
Mo Yan, along with his sword, clearing a path with his Sword Qi, pierced through the void and soared upwards, pressing directly towards Lan Xin in mid-air.
Lan Xin gritted his teeth, exerting his utmost strength to swing down the last huge wave of Sword Qi-induced hail.
Everyone knew, once Mo Yan's Sword Qi broke through the last hail, Lan Xin would either die or be severely injured.
Around the two, within approximately ten meters, a killing aura swirled, a zone too intense for ordinary people to penetrate.
Xiao Yun thrust his longsword, risking injury to rescue Lan Xin.
Suddenly, a figure flashed by and dashed forward.
The Bronze Divine Sword carried an incredibly fierce Killing Aura; wherever it passed, the void shattered, splitting space in two, like a giant whale slicing through the sea, causing the waters to part.
The Longsword entered within ten meters of Lan Xin and Mo Yan, instantly dissipating the surging Killing Aura around them, vanishing without a trace.
The Longsword directly targeted Mo Yan's back.
This thrust by Yang Xiao utilized the Divine Mountain Sword Skill taught by Lan Xin yesterday; swift, precise, and fierce, leaving the opponent no chance to escape.
Just as Mo Yan's Sword Qi was about to smash Lan Xin's Sword Qi hail in mid-air, he suddenly felt an overwhelming Killing Aura attacking from behind, instantly enveloping him in inexplicable fear.
Out of instinct, Mo Yan urgently swept his longsword, originally thrust towards Lan Xin, downward while his body swiftly retreated backwards.
Yang Xiao had no intention of killing Mo Yan; his attack was solely to rescue Lan Xin, employing a strategy to distract the enemy.
Feeling Mo Yan's Sword Qi slashing towards him, Yang Xiao immediately reversed his longsword's direction, slashing horizontally at Mo Yan's Sword Qi.
His sword cut through the void, dividing Mo Yan's Sword Qi into two.
Finally, at the last moment, Lan Xin felt the Sword Qi aimed at him dissipate, his body lightened, and he swiftly drifted down.
Yang Xiao did not pursue Mo Yan, but instead took a few steps back, standing next to Lan Xin and asked with concern,
Lan Xin's face was pale, clearly having exhausted a great deal of Qi from desperately using the last three moves of the Divine Mountain Sword Skill.
Yang Xiao gently held Lan Xin's hand.
Lan Xin felt a warmth in his palm, giving Yang Xiao a grateful smile.
"You take a break, I'll handle things here."
"Be careful, Mo Yan's Sword Qi is very strong."
At this moment, Mo Yan, having retreated dozens of meters and steadied himself, fixed his gaze and realized it was Yang Xiao who had ambushed him.
However, Yang Xiao had already put the Bronze Divine Sword into his Space Ring, standing empty-handed. Not only that, but Yang Xiao was also holding Lan Xin's hand, whispering affectionately, much like a couple.
Mo Yan, infuriated and embarrassed, bellowed loudly:
"You shameless scoundrel, was it you who ambushed me just now?"
