He Lao San's arms shook, and in each hand appeared a serrated circular disc. As he made his move, the sound of whirling filled the air, and the discs soared upwards, transforming into two beams of black light.
Chu Yang's eyes brightened.
The moment they made contact, Chu Yang realized that He Lao San's cultivation level was extremely mixed and impure, with a chaotic aura. It seemed that this was the drawback of devouring others' essence…
Moreover, He Lao San was clearly only at the imperial level fifth rank. With his own cultivation, he could easily overpower him.
It was likely that this was just the outermost area of the Black Blood Jungle, with not many masters around. Chu Yang felt at ease.
However, He Lao San's weapons were exceptionally rare, and their usage was quite unorthodox, with tremendous lethality.
Therefore, Chu Yang suppressed the killing intent within him and engaged in a battle with him.
Swords and blades are the ancestors of weapons. Regardless of how any weapon changes, it has commonalities with the sword path. He Lao San's two serrated discs struck horizontally and vertically, each attack bringing a swirling variation.
No matter whether they hit the enemy's weapon or missed, they would swirl back into his hands.
This reminded Chu Yang of a unique killing move within the sword path: the sword control technique!
He activated the stunning cloud and snow steps and the phantom shadow steps of the netherworld inherited from the first generation Nine Calamity Sword Master, his figure becoming elusive and indistinct as he fought fiercely with He Lao San. To an onlooker, it seemed like they were evenly matched, locked in a fierce struggle.
But Wei Wuyan, watching from the side, had a reassuring smile in his eyes.
As the battle progressed, Chu Yang's sword moved like a spring breeze and dancing willows, changing unpredictably. He didn't even need to utilize the Nine Calamity Sword Technique or his own unique sword moves; he simply used ordinary sword techniques to poke, prick, and deflect... using all means to disrupt his opponent's attacks. Meanwhile, he was analyzing how the opponent's vital energy circulated and changed in different forms, aiming to integrate that into his own sword path…
The more they fought, the more ferocious He Lao San's expression became. Suddenly, he let out a loud roar, releasing the two discs from his hands; then, with a shake of his hands, two more serrated discs flew out with a whirring sound.
At that moment, Chu Yang suddenly understood something: besides the operation of the vital energy within one's body, a delicate wrist tremor was also needed at the moment of attack. This simultaneous inner and outer force created a circular power that formed an attractive field around him; the serrated discs would naturally return and reappear, endlessly cycling.
Chu Yang let out a long laugh: "Die!"
His gaze turned cold, and his long sword suddenly emitted a dazzling glow. With several cracking sounds, the four discs scattered and did not return!
He Lao San was shocked and hurriedly retreated, yelling, "How could you..."
Since Chu Yang understood the secret of his circular power, he naturally severed the cycle with a single strike, not allowing him to finish his words!
The sword light flashed, moving at least twice as fast as before.
Before He Lao San could finish speaking, he felt a chill in his chest as a stream of sword energy surged into his body, piercing straight towards his heart. With a loud crack, his internal organs shattered simultaneously at that moment. A large bloody hole appeared in his chest!
He Lao San's body still stood, staring at Chu Yang with a strange expression, and he actually cackled, "You dare to kill me... Hehe... my master won't let you go…"
Chu Yang disdainfully snorted, kicking this utterly disgusting body into the air, shattering it into pieces. Only the head flew far away with the sound of wind, disappearing into the dense forest.
Even after becoming a corpse, Chu Yang did not want to see that disgusting face again, so he kicked it away!
