Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 900 - 466: Broken Sword’s Deadly Strike

The Man-Pig hid in the corner, glancing to the left at the Ghost-faced Man in black, then to the right, eyeing the Sword Immortal in green. Such a heavy atmosphere, such thick killing intent, even it felt incredibly tense, losing its appetite for grass.

Meanwhile, the two locked in a life-and-death struggle in the arena focused intently on each other’s stance and movement, swiftly planning and calculating their next moves in their minds.

The hesitation of the Ghost-faced Man was evident. Many sect secrets and secret arts of the Mystic Sect were hidden and passed down to catch others off guard. Once seen and prepared against, they lose their efficacy. Thus, the greatest taboo of the Mystic Sect is for others to expose the techniques they use.

Exposing means they’ve been seen, whether in a direct confrontation or through sect inheritance, someone has witnessed these techniques and survived, potentially devising a countermeasure. Therefore, in every subsequent move or stance, one must remain vigilant, prepare for any hidden cards the opponent might have, and consider whether to use a unique move themselves, exponentially increasing the complexity of calculations.

As for Tie Dan’s apprehension, it goes without saying. The Xuan Nu’s Refining Form is truly powerful.

Yes, some people indeed have the confidence, looking down on such waste and rubbish, finding it difficult to refine at times and hard to cultivate, considering it cost-ineffective in the early, middle, and later stages.

But Tie Dan understood clearly, with the fight upon them, there was no early, middle, or later stage anymore! The Xuan Nu’s Refining Form is the most suitable divine technique for the Tai Chi Sky Fighting Sword version!

Right, there are countless divine skills in the Taiji Realm, and the absolute skills of the Three Great Sects abound, but if truly compared, the top-notch ones are always those with Vajra Unbreakable, Undying Body, Instant Resurrection, and Defensive Skills.

Because, frankly, such skills are rare.

The Immortal Palace Xuan Sect’s Divine Sect, the Three Great Sects have always passed down high attack with low defense to this day: you kill me, I kill you. It’s not uncommon to be wiped out by a level-spanning monster kill.

The Immortal Palace has been arrogant for millennia, relying on strong muscles and thick armor, able to withstand, and the remaining Gang Fist that pummels you into unrecognizable form.

The Mystic Sect is invincible in the world, what need is there for many unique skills and secret arts? Just pure Refining Qi, peak invisible escape, you can’t catch up nor capture them, naturally they remain undefeated.

As for the Divine Sect, it’s even more invincible. The Blood God’s Son is simply the version’s solution: attack, kill, escape, defend, resurrect, spirit all are perfect without any shortcomings.

Piling up DPS without nimble maneuvering and insufficient health line leaves one unable to survive, thus unable to output; so it goes.

Therefore, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady’s Three Transitions and Nine Transformations Refining Form was, for quite a long time, no, even to this day, considered the first divine skill comprehended from the Heavenly Book by Mystic Sect people.

Yes, it’s the first, double resistance against both physical and magical, unable to break defense or decrease health when hit, also replenishing Qi. Isn’t that invincible enough?

Perhaps sixty years later, or hundreds of years later, Xuan Nu’s Refining Form will retreat from the version, and even more powerful techniques might emerge; at least in Tie Dan’s era, it definitely ranks T0 in terms of strength.

True, this skill requires the full set of the Nine Books of Mystic Lady to cultivate, and the completion requires Nine Revolutions and Nine Transformations to succeed, integrating the Tai Chi Nine Qi into one’s heart, merging as one. It’s extremely challenging and time-consuming with low benefits.

But then again, isn’t this what Old Xuan Sect realized with divine comprehension and Enlightenment, with nowhere to fly off to, nothing else to do? Once cultivated, the technique is invincible worldwide, why not cultivate it?

Of course, there’s no need to exaggerate too much. If the opponent were truly invincible, there’d be no need to fight. Eighty or ninety percent likely haven’t mastered it. Otherwise, why bother dodging half a move earlier? Moreover, if the divine skill were perfected, it would have straightforwardly dragged Lingxu out to battle instead of resorting to bullying here.

But just acquiring one or two Heavenly Books and starting the Refining Form actually has no meaning, at least one should have over six books to make it worth abolishing one’s original technique and starting anew, at least transition through five or six revolutions to begin fighting.

And it was said in the dream, at least having the top three abilities in the world is needed to have the ability to collect the Heavenly Books.

So this one before his eyes, hiding and revealing, with a casual move or two almost tearing off Tie Dan’s head, is evidently a Mystic Sect expert vying for the top three in the world.

Who could it be, unfortunately, Tian Gang only ranks in the top ten of the Mystic Sect, with nine others ahead, it’s hard to guess...

Forget guessing then.

Tie Dan was very aware, this might not be the first time he encountered such a master, but it was indeed the first time encountering a master with true intent to kill him.

Whether it was Lingxu or Master Xuan Du, they all had their reasons and calculations, even Tian Gang intended to seize his Dao Body, only battling within the Primordial Spirit, never using outright body-breaking killing moves.

But this Ghost-faced Man genuinely intended to kill him, to make a move within the Nine Major Sects.

There would be no second chance, unleash the ultimate kill.

It’s either life or death.

A fifty-fifty chance!

"My Sword!"

This time Tie Dan made the first move, wielding his sword single-handedly like lightning! Outer Heaven Flying Immortal! Signature strike! Directly aiming at the center of the brows!

"Seeking death!"

The Ghost-faced Man thrust his Bone Whip to counter, using the same Sacrifice Body Piercing move! Leaving no room for retreat! Fully thrusting forward! Vowing to strike a fatal blow!

Yes! Absolute confidence, indeed from the earlier exchange, the Ghost-faced Man was very clear!

No matter cultivation or power, he held the upper hand over Tie Dan, capable of Qi Breaking and Body Breaking, able to fight and kill!

The only two miscalculations were that this kid seemingly had witnessed the Xuan Nu’s Refining Form somewhere else. Moreover, at such a young age, his Divine Sense was astonishingly strong, able to completely ignore the Thousand-Year-Cultivated Soul-breaking Whip! When the whip lashed out, those ghostly soul-breaking, Daoist-heart-shaking Primordial Spirit attacks were utterly ineffective! This was truly unexpected, even that half move was unnecessary!
