Chapter 811 -48: Great Sun True Fire, Pointing to Western Heaven_2
No matter how you looked at it, Sword-Human Unity was an enhanced version of Sword Flying Slash in every aspect except True Yuan consumption. Therefore, Yan Yu didn’t fuss too much and first unleashed White Rainbow Across the Sky, charging forward!
Buddha’s Light immediately surged up like a tsunami, blocking the path of the sword light. A second before colliding, Yan Yu abruptly changed direction, climbing a distance to the upper right and then plunging vertically downward. The Buddha’s Light also turned to follow him upward then downward, relentlessly pursuing.
“A feint, trying to apply psychological pressure?” The voice in his mind sneered, “These creatures of the Pure Land Sect have no Divine Souls; they act solely on instinct, without fear or deception. What good is your elaborate ruse?”
“If I explained, you wouldn’t understand,” Yan Yu continued Sword Control downward, then swiftly switched to move forward, and then upward again. Vast expanses of Buddha’s Light chased closely behind the sword light, as if a piece of cloth were studded with magnets.
“An unnecessary move… Hmm?” The voice wanted to continue its mockery, but suddenly spotted a minuscule hole amidst the dense Buddha’s Light.
As if anticipating this, at the instant the small hole appeared, Yan Yu’s sword light had already made a turn, nearly grazing past the oncoming Buddha’s Light. Then, before the small opening could close, he pierced through, breaking the defense line!
Having passed through the Buddha’s Light barrier, only several unguarded Arhats remained before him.
Yan Yu’s hands swiftly formed Sword techniques, Sky Light Piercing Clouds! His sword light once again transformed into a meteor, piercing into an Arhat’s torso, creating a large hole in his belly, then he quickly spun around, Bai Niao Chao Feng, puncturing Lotus Platforms, shattering golden bodies, and threading through multiple targets in one fluid motion!
“I get it now.” The voice in his mind fell silent for about ten seconds, finally speaking again, “These Arhats lack Spiritual Wisdom, and the Buddha’s Light acts independently. So you deliberately moved all over the place, exploiting their lack of unified command to draw them apart and separate them, creating holes in their defense… But how exactly did you do it? They only follow you, and in constant motion, it would seem they should close in, not spread out…”
“Keep guessing,” Yan Yu replied, not bothering to explain and continued on with Sword Flight, silently calculating in his mind.
Releasing high-intensity Sword Qi consumed about 1.7% of his Sword Intent. That meant he could swing his sword a maximum of 58 times. However, the Gatekeeper Taoist had already used it over 20 times in the process of chasing the others and indiscriminately slaying gods and Buddhas.
In contrast, the consumption of Sword Intent was nearly negligible for pure Sword Flight and physical attacks. Therefore, he needed to be sparing with his Sword Qi, using Sword Control to kill whenever possible instead of expending Sword Qi.
For Sword Immortals, conserving True Yuan was an unfamiliar concept, as Sword Control Technique didn’t deplete resources as much as Taoism Methods did. In a duel with others that could last three days and nights, what would drain first wasn’t True Yuan, but one’s mental state.
However, Yan Yu, as a Mortal Warrior in his past life who relied on external storage for all True Yuan, had learned to manage his True Yuan endurance as part of his training. Even a simple White Rainbow Across the Sky could be executed using a quarter less True Yuan than Ningning… Although such technique was of little use to a Professional Sword Immortal.
It observed him silently and carefully, noting that he was incredibly skillful at conserving energy, like Grandet facing Zhou Bapi, trying to split even a hair’s breadth of True Yuan into two.
For a normal Flying Sword, the consumption was already low, so there was no need for such measures.
However, with no replacement for Sword Intent, every bit used was gone for good. This frugal style of combat was most suited to his current situation. Yan Yu meandered slowly, pulling, striking suddenly, breaking defenses, slicing through Arhats, assassinating gods and Buddhas. Although his circuitous fighting style wasn’t as thrilling, his efficiency was still remarkably high because he always seized every fleeting opportunity.
“Your penny-pinching fighting style…” the Sword Intent of the Sun True Dullness Sword pondered for a while before arriving at a conclusion, “has a unique charm to it.”
“As long as it kills the target, it’s a good style,” Yan Yu said calmly.
“Hmm.” The Sword Intent fell silent for a moment before adding, “But there’s no need to be so stingy. Although I am just a Sword Intent, as long as you don’t squander it recklessly, I can actually last a long time.”
“Playing hard to get, are we?” Yan Yu sneered, “If we run into issues with endurance later, I fear you’ll turn on me, saying I’m incompetent and trying to kill me.”
“Why would I do something like that?” The Sword Intent immediately expressed displeasure, “Even if I am just a Sword Intent, I am the Sword Intent of the Sun True Dullness Sword, not some Demon Sword of an Evil Sect! How could I commit such evil deeds as mindless slaughter, needlessly accruing Merit hinderances?”
“Then who was it that said they would drain my True Yuan and slay me?” Yan Yu retorted mercilessly, “Did I imagine that?”
“Cough, that was just in jest with you!” The Sword Intent fell silent again for a moment before changing the subject, “If you continued to do evil deeds against heaven and accumulate killing karma, enveloped by such Merit hindrances, then killing you would be justified. With Merit to your name, why would I want to harm you?”
“Oh?” Yan Yu’s eyes lit up, “I have Merit to my name?”
“Of course, why would I lie to you?” The Sword Intent replied.
In fact, by supporting the Eclipse Queen alone and ensuring the stability of the Northeastern frontier, Yan Yu had indirectly saved the lives of tens of millions. Hearing the Sword Intent confirm it felt like returning home in glory, basking in the admiration of onlookers.
