Protect Our Chief-Chapter 498 - 18: Spirit Body! Primordial Water Sword Intent (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
...
Amid the sword’s hum, a sword light suddenly shot out like lightning from Senior Brother Le Xian’s waist, swiftly heading towards Wang Liyao.
The sword light was like water, gliding through the air as gently as an autumn breeze over a lake, yet its speed was unbelievably fast, reaching Wang Liyao in a blink of an eye.
The fierce sword momentum burst forth accompanied by a sharp tearing sound.
The strands of hair on Wang Liyao’s cheeks were lifted by this Sword Qi, instantly flying up.
Seeing this, the disciples of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage present couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.
It was well known that Senior Brother Le Xian’s sword, the "Lishui Sword," was a Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact of extraordinary power. None of them expected Senior Brother Le Xian to immediately use his relied-upon Middle-Grade Spirit Sword as soon as he made a move!
This young girl is probably in danger now!
Wang Liyao, however, snorted coldly, showing no sign of panic.
Her figure flickered, gliding away lightly like a wave of water.
In the sunlight, her toes lightly tapped, and her figure moved as nimbly and gracefully as a cascading stream, devoid of any hint of smoke and fire.
Flowing water has no shadow, untouched by flying flower petals.
The approaching Spirit Sword was so fast that it nearly surpassed the eye’s limit to capture, yet it amazingly couldn’t touch her figure, flying past her with the slightest margin.
The whistling Spirit Sword continued its momentum, fiercely striking a Turtle Sunbathing Platform behind her.
In an instant, stone fragments flew, and the Turtle Sunbathing Platform made of Primordial Water Stone immediately had a huge dent punched into it.
Wang Liyao herself was unscathed, not even having her clothing brushed by a single stone particle.
"Water Flowing Shadow?!"
This beautiful body technique stunned all the disciples of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage present.
The Water Flow Shadow Body Technique is a signature technique of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage, mandatorily practiced by everyone from Direct Disciples to ordinary disciples. As disciples of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage, how could they not recognize it?
"She’s actually mastered the Water Flow Shadow as well. It must be at the ’Refined’ Realm, right?" Senior Brother Zhenghua said, full of disbelief, "She’s so young, and she can already practice the Water Flowing Shadow Body Technique to this level, impressive..."
Honestly, even if he personally exhibited the Water Flowing Shadow Body Technique in the field, it might not surpass hers.
"Her body technique is actually so much superior to mine? It’s reached a level completely beyond my comprehension~" Lu Xianghui was also stunned, as the Water Flow Shadow Body Technique was his "specialty skill," on which he had indeed worked hard.
But when compared to this junior sister, his Water Flow Shadow Body Technique seemed laughably clumsy, a futile effort, leaving him shocked beyond compare.
What they couldn’t possibly anticipate was that Wang Liyao was, in fact, the legendary "Great Celestial Pride" who had awakened four bloodlines in the Spirit Platform Realm?
With her Primordial Water Spirit Body, her body naturally resonated strongly with the Primordial Water Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, and her compatibility with the Heaven and Earth Laws was higher, making her cultivation of Primordial Water Element techniques twice the result with half the effort, progressing rapidly.
This was also the fundamental reason why Black Tortoise Cultivators placed such importance on bloodline talent.
"Not bad! You do have some skill, no wonder you’re so arrogant!" Senior Brother Le Xian laughed angrily after missing his strike, "Unfortunately, passing down forbidden cultivation techniques is a major taboo in the Academy. No matter how well you practice, no one can save you! Once I capture you, both you and the person who taught you the technique will be in big trouble!"
As his words fell, he made a gesture, and the Lishui Sword flew back through the air like a flash of lightning.
"Condensing Water into a Sword, Wave Separation and Shadow Formation!"
His hands formed rapid sword seals, and a thick wave of Water Spirit Qi converged like hundreds of tributaries flowing into the sea, causing the Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact "Lishui Sword" to whirl in the sky, instantly dividing into six almost identical sword shadows.
The sword shadows were like water, the sword light like snow.
The surging Sword Qi interlocked and connected, melding as one, and in an instant, formed a sword array, radiating dazzling azure blue light.
The expansive Sword Qi swept through, dispersing all the surrounding fierce wind, even the faint breeze over the lake automatically detoured away.
Senior Brother Le Xian’s eyes turned ruthless, sneering, "Aren’t you good at body techniques? Let’s see how you dodge this time!"
As his words fell, he gestured with both hands, and the sword array whirled out with a roar, enveloping Wang Liyao with overwhelming sword momentum.
The sword’s edge was fierce, the Sword Qi murderous.
In an instant, the mighty momentum crushed down overwhelmingly, even the gentle wind passing by seemed to carry a killing intent.
"It’s Senior Brother Le Xian’s specialty, the ’Water Shadow Sword Technique’!"
Seeing this, Lu Xianghui’s eyes widened in tension.
The other disciples of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage were even more astonished: "Senior Brother Le Xian’s Water Shadow Sword Technique can actually produce six sword shadows!"
It was well known that the "Water Shadow Sword Technique" of the Yuan Water Celestial Lake Lineage was easy to learn but hard to master, the deeper one practiced, the more sword shadows could be split, and the greater its power.
However, just not long ago in the grand competition, Senior Brother Le Xian had only been able to split five sword shadows with the Water Shadow Sword Technique, and now he could actually produce six sword shadows, this this this...
Senior Brother Zhenghua and Senior Sister Yuyun, who had been competing with Le Xian for "Miss Nine," couldn’t help but look at each other.
They had thought five sword shadows were Le Xian’s limit; who could have predicted that he had retained something even in the grand competition at that time?!
Unfortunately, there was no time for them to dwell on it now.
In the brief span of two breaths as they spoke, the overwhelming sword momentum roared through the air, about to reach Wang Liyao’s face.
