C281 Sword of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy(2)

Woo Zhengyang was also quite eager to witness the unique aspects of this sword skill. As the surrounding crowd erupted in awe, Helian Bozhong felt a surge of pride. However, this feeling was short-lived as Woo Zhengyang's dismissive attitude quickly doused his excitement.

Helian Bozhong was aware that his use of the sword skill was still somewhat forced, and he might not even have the opportunity to use it against Moh Lunhui. Yet, Woo Zhengyang's blatant disregard was hard for him to accept. Despite this, Helian Bozhong found himself at a loss for words to counter Woo Zhengyang's disdain.

Frustrated, Helian Bozhong could only glare at Woo Zhengyang in silence, focusing all his energy on perfecting his sword skill. Although he was pushing the limits of his ability, it wasn't as futile as Woo Zhengyang suggested. From the moment Helian Bozhong prepared to strike until now, only a few breaths had passed. If timed well, this brief moment could still be advantageous in battle.

Finally, Helian Bozhong reached the peak of his sword technique. At this point, the sword formed by the concentrated Heaven and Earth Vital Energy around his blade extended a full ten feet. This distance far exceeded what a Martial Master Stage could typically achieve with their sword energy.

Of course, this was just the surface. During that brief period, Woo Zhengyang hadn't interfered, and everyone clearly saw the amount of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy gathered. The power of this strike could likely rival the explosive attack of a novice Martial Master.

"Almost there, draw your sword!" The crowd was stunned, but Woo Zhengyang was just a bit impatient as he urged.

Everyone who heard Woo Zhengyang was dumbfounded. Helian Bozhong's sword strike was so powerful, yet this guy seemed unfazed, even urging him on? Was he asking for trouble? Or was he just that confident?

"Let's see how long you can keep this up!" Once again underestimated, Helian Bozhong roared in anger, bringing his longsword down on Woo Zhengyang.

Even if Helian Bozhong's sword was a top-tier weapon, at this moment, it lost its effectiveness. The true power of this strike lay in the sword of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy that formed outside the blade.

Heaven and Earth Vital Energy is omnipresent, but as the sword descended, Woo Zhengyang felt as if the energy around him had been completely drained.

Sword force! The sword was drawn, borrowing the momentum of the world!

At this moment, Woo Zhengyang finally understood the strength of the unconventional "Heavenly Origin Sword Technique." From the force of the sword to the sword's intent, from borrowing the world's momentum to condensing one's own will into the sword—this was the pinnacle for a sword practitioner.

For those who practice the way of the sword, this is the ultimate achievement. Few can grasp even the elusive sword intent, let alone the sword force. Throughout history, those who have understood it have been nothing short of prodigies and martial arts geniuses.

Helian Bozhong was still far from mastering this level of skill. However, the unique approach of the "Heavenly Origin Sword Technique" allowed him to harness a special blend of Origin Genuine Qi and Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, enabling him to grasp the concept of sword force in a unique way. Although this sword force, condensed through the technique, was less than a tenth of a true sword force, it was still remarkably powerful.

Woo Zhengyang felt as if he were a fish out of water, suffocated by a fierce current. Under this peculiar pressure, his speed, strength, and even his martial techniques were significantly hindered, greatly reducing their effectiveness. The descent of the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy sword was slow, yet Woo Zhengyang stood there, seemingly paralyzed, as its sharp edge drew closer and closer.

Many only knew the name of the "Heavenly Origin Sword Technique" without understanding its true power or uniqueness. Seeing Woo Zhengyang's predicament, they were both puzzled and astonished. However, those familiar with the technique were unsurprised; if it weren't extraordinary, the "Heavenly Origin Sword Technique" wouldn't have its renowned reputation. Helian Bozhong was naturally among the latter.

Repeatedly struck down and ignored by Woo Zhengyang, Helian Bozhong's confidence was on the verge of collapse, leading him to doubt himself.

As the sword of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy was about to strike, Woo Zhengyang seemed frozen in place, as if paralyzed by fear. Helian Bozhong's confidence, momentarily lost, began to return.

The energy drew closer, yet Woo Zhengyang remained motionless, a faint smile playing on Helian Bozhong's lips. But then, Woo Zhengyang moved!

From standing still to suddenly springing into action, his speed seemed unhindered. Helian Bozhong's smile faltered, his newfound confidence shaken once more. Could his sword strike truly have no effect on Woo Zhengyang?

Woo Zhengyang's next move answered Helian Bozhong's doubts. Just as Woo Zhengyang had previously mentioned, he was employing a finger technique. His right hand's index and middle fingers pressed together, channeling a spiraling energy between them, as he pointed directly at the sword of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy before him...
