C528 Moonlight Beauty Dance

“Bang...”

“Bang...”

“Bang...”

Three soft thuds marked the moment when three young men from the Moon Light Martial Mansion plunged into the sea. Up until the last moment, it was unclear if they even realized what had happened.

Everyone else was just as puzzled, except for Woo Zhengyang, who was well-versed in the Ink Night Sword Washing Arts and wasn’t surprised at all. The combat power of the Ink Night Sword Washing Arts might not be the strongest, but its illusory power is an undeniable nightmare for those encountering it for the first time. Even among the three, one was at the mid-level of the Inner Stage, yet he couldn’t break through the illusion in time, allowing Woo Zhengyang to easily seize victory.

The surroundings were silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Whether it was the other young men from the Martial Mansions, Sun Siyu, Yuv Qingrong, or even Yu Wenqing from the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion, everyone was too shocked by the turn of events to speak.

“He’s mastered the sword force... I just forgot...” Yuv Qingrong suddenly realized a few moments later, speaking up.

“Sword force? How is that possible? He’s so young!”

“No wonder he’s so remarkable, with such talent!” After hearing Yuv Qingrong, people began to chatter.

While many were talking, some remained silent, especially Fong Zhiyuan and Yann Xinjue. They believed Woo Zhengyang had grasped the sword force but also knew that his strength just now wasn’t solely due to the sword force—it was his sword skill!

From the stunned expressions of the three onlookers, it was clear that Woo Zhengyang's recent display of sword skills involved a soul attack technique. Only such a technique could unleash such formidable power unexpectedly. Sword skills like these are rare in any martial school, and even if they exist, they are often incomplete.

How could a young man from a rural village possess such skills?

Yu Wenqing from the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion showed a flicker of surprise upon hearing that Woo Zhengyang had mastered the sword force. He was curious about the origins of Woo Zhengyang's skills, though he recognized them as rare but not unheard of in the pavilion.

However, mastering the sword force was different. It reflects a practitioner's innate talent and circumstances, something that can't be easily acquired. For someone so young to have achieved this was unprecedented for the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion.

Whether it was his sword skills or his mastery of the sword force, Woo Zhengyang's strength left everyone present in awe. It was beyond imagination!

"Where did those three guys go? Why can't we see them anymore?"

"Yeah, and we didn't even hear them struggle. They just vanished..."

The crowd, captivated by Woo Zhengyang, had forgotten to check on the three who had fallen into the sea. Now, as they looked toward the water, there was no trace of them.

"Did you see what happened after those three fell into the water?"

"I was about to ask you! I was too busy watching over here!"

While everyone else seemed to forget, Woo Zhengyang didn't. As soon as the three hit the water, he observed closely. This ocean was indeed unusual. As the three tried every trick to get back onto the platform, the moment their feet touched the water, it was as if a giant beast swallowed them whole.

After that, the water returned to calm, and the three vanished without a trace, not even a ripple left behind.

"Curious?" Woo Zhengyang chuckled.

"Of course! Did you see something, Woo? Tell us!"

"Yeah, we were so impressed by your amazing sword move that we forgot to look over there."

The people from the two Martial Mansions chimed in, smiling, their attitude completely different from before when facing Woo Zhengyang.

Woo Zhengyang chuckled lightly, "No worries, there'll be another chance to see."

With that, Woo Zhengyang, holding the No Life Sword, walked towards where Yuv Qingrong and Sun Siyu were. Since he had already made a move, he couldn't leave any loose ends. Besides, these two were the main threats against him earlier. Woo Zhengyang wouldn't let them go.

"Woo Zhengyang, are you really going to wipe us out? Don't forget, we're from the Moon Light Martial Mansion!" Yuv Qingrong panicked as Woo Zhengyang approached.

The recent scene finally made him understand Woo Zhengyang's words; he had indeed overestimated himself. Woo Zhengyang, with just a sword, had effortlessly knocked three of their Moon Light Martial Mansion members off the platform. Dealing with him was a breeze, and even with Sun Siyu present, Yuv Qingrong couldn't guarantee he wouldn't be knocked off as well. The most frustrating part was that the platform was so small, there was nowhere to run.

"Get out of the way, don't embarrass our Moon Light Martial Mansion!" Sun Siyu's face, already expressionless, was now filled with anger as he reprimanded Yuv Qingrong.

Yuv Qingrong had been itching to escape, and upon hearing Sun Siyu's words, he didn't hesitate to retreat to a corner of the platform. This way, he still had a slim chance of survival by sticking close to Sun Siyu, avoiding any collateral damage.

Sun Siyu shot Yuv Qingrong a glare, then raised his sword to face Woo Zhengyang, gritting his teeth. "Whether you've mastered the sword force or possess some impressive sword skill, the gap in our strength isn't something you can overcome!"

"Is that so?" Woo Zhengyang replied noncommittally.

"Yes!" Sun Siyu affirmed, as if to reassure himself.

With that word, Sun Siyu was enveloped in a layer of moonlight—a unique technique of their Moon Light Martial Mansion. The moonlight around him grew more intense, and four full moons appeared out of nowhere, swirling around him continuously.

"The Dance of the Moonlit Beauty" is the cornerstone of the Moon Light Martial Mansion, a unique art where sword skills and techniques share a common origin. Legend has it that the first master of the Mansion was an extraordinary woman who created a style exclusively for women—graceful yet incredibly powerful—known as "The Dance of the Moonlit Beauty."

Today, many of the Mansion's sword techniques have evolved from this foundational art, including the "Dance of Moonlight" technique previously demonstrated by Yuv Qingrong and others. When Zhan Yinuo and Zhan Yifei introduced the Moon Light Martial Mansion to Woo Zhengyang, they made sure to highlight "The Dance of the Moonlit Beauty." Those who can perform this technique are either core disciples of the Mansion or individuals with exceptional talent.

Regardless of her status, Sun Siyu's aptitude qualified her to learn this art. Thus, when she performed the technique, Woo Zhengyang was not surprised; in fact, he was intrigued. He was eager to see the true strength of the Moon Light Martial Mansion, especially since he had already crossed paths with them. Observing Sun Siyu would provide insight into the Mansion's depth.

However, Woo Zhengyang wasn't going to sit idly by. His opponent was at the latter stage of the Inner Stage, and he couldn't afford to be careless. He fully engaged the "Dragon Countering Nine Steps," transforming himself into a swift dragon, rapidly advancing toward Sun Siyu...
