C346 You Are Not Worthy!(1)

"What kind of sword skill is that?"

Standing at the edge of the golden arena, Moh Lunhui exclaimed in surprise. It was only then he realized that Woo Zhengyang had been standing still the entire time, with no intention of launching a sneak attack. His own hasty retreat had been quite comical. Yet, even if given another chance, he would still choose to quickly withdraw. The power of Woo Zhengyang's previous strike was simply too overwhelming. Even without a follow-up attack, another strike like that would be hard for Moh Lunhui to handle.

"Ink Night Sword Washing Arts—have you heard of it?" Woo Zhengyang didn't hold back. When he performed the Ink Night Sword Washing Arts, he had already planned to share a copy of the technique with Nie Fengyu. Regardless of others, Nie Fengyu's actions had earned Woo Zhengyang's respect, and the Profound Heaven Sect under his leadership was worthy of Woo Zhengyang's allegiance.

However, even if others practiced the Ink Night Sword Washing Arts, they would likely find it difficult to replicate the power of Woo Zhengyang's recent strike. The ability to draw Moh Lunhui in so deeply was not solely due to the sword skill. The visible elements—Sword-shaped Genuine Qi, the chilling power of the Nine Nether Ice, and the sword force—accounted for only half of the impact. The other half was due to the No Life Sword. Despite its unassuming appearance, it couldn't change the fact that it was a King Rank weapon.

The King Rank weapon is not just about being tougher and sharper than other weapons. Its ability to enhance the speed of energy activation, the amount it can handle, and the boost it provides is unmatched by any treasure or spirit weapon. Using the same sword skill with the No Life Sword is at least twice as powerful as with a spirit weapon. This is the main criterion for categorizing magical weapons.

Woo Zhengyang has reached the Martial Master Stage, allowing him to fully utilize the Ink Night Sword Washing Arts. With the boost from the No Life Sword, even if Moh Lunhui's Soul Energy were a bit stronger, he would still be vulnerable. Besides, Moh Lunhui's Soul Energy isn't significantly stronger than Woo Zhengyang's.

"Ink Night Sword Washing Arts? An ancient martial skill, equivalent to a lower-grade current skill. At your level, even if you can perform it, it shouldn't have such power!" Moh Lunhui's knowledge of the Ink Night Sword Washing Arts was unexpected for Woo Zhengyang. Although he obtained this technique from someone else, it likely originated from the Mystic Trace Realm, where few should have heard of it today.

However, recalling Moh Lunhui's previous claims, Woo Zhengyang understood. Moh Lunhui's assertion of being the reincarnation of a great emperor might actually be true. If an emperor-level expert knew the Ink Night Sword Washing Arts, it wouldn't be surprising. After all, ancient techniques weren't limited to just one copy, and there are certainly many places like the Mystic Trace Realm. The experiences of an emperor-level expert are naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.

His opponent turned out to be a formidable emperor-level warrior, even if reborn, which was enough to shock Woo Zhengyang. This revelation explained Moh Lunhui's overwhelming strength. Soul attacks, mastery of battle formations, and the comprehension of martial arts concepts, which are elusive to most, were mere child's play for an emperor-level warrior.

Woo Zhengyang believed that the abilities Moh Lunhui displayed were just the tip of the iceberg, limited by various constraints. Yet, even knowing Moh Lunhui was a reborn emperor, Woo Zhengyang had no intention of stopping. The two were locked in a fight to the death, and if Moh Lunhui were given time, he would undoubtedly grow stronger and become an even greater threat to Woo Zhengyang.

With this in mind, Woo Zhengyang gripped the No Life Sword and advanced toward Moh Lunhui. "I never imagined I'd be caught by someone who doesn't even dare to reveal their name!" Moh Lunhui still believed that Woo Zhengyang, like him, was reborn. It made sense; Woo Zhengyang's rise, much like his own, was almost mythical—building up strength quietly and then becoming unstoppable. His prowess in battle and formations far exceeded the normal pace of a cultivator's rise.

Despite Moh Lunhui's taunts, Woo Zhengyang remained unfazed. He took a few swift steps forward, thrusting the No Life Sword with precision.

"Ink Night Sword Washing Arts," Second Form: Sword Light Becomes Star Traces!

This move originally belongs to the Shape Gathering Stage, and while Woo Zhengyang can execute it, it’s a bit of a stretch for him. However, after refining his sword force, Woo Zhengyang finds it much smoother to perform.

The first form of "Ink Night Sword Washing Arts" focuses on illusion, while the second form uses illusions as a complement, prioritizing speed.

At first glance, it seems like Woo Zhengyang is making a simple thrust, but in reality, he has already struck six times. The extreme speed, combined with the chilling power of the Nine Nether Ice, makes the six sword lights resemble cold stars on a winter night, targeting Moh Lunhui's vital points.

Although similar to many sword techniques, the speed of "Ink Night Sword Washing Arts" combined with illusions is unmatched by ordinary martial skills. To evade this strike, one must quickly dispel the illusion and block the attack.
