Changming threw two puppets that rushed at Yun Hai in two white rays.
The other slightly moved his sword, and the puppets were cut into halves.
These insignificant skills could only be used to entertain and fool the public, but were nothing in the face of real strength.
Changming did not hope to block Yun Hai’s way with these two puppets either. He only wanted to use this moment to retreat swiftly.
The Chunzhao Sword struck!
Its light was as quick as a falling star, and swift like a thunderbolt. As Changming was retreating under the pressure, it almost reached his hair.
Just as the tip of his white hair was burning with the sword qi, Changming formed a sword technique with his fingers, and the Sifei Sword appeared!
It was not that Changming had never fought against Yun Hai; but he had no spiritual powers before, so he could only fall to the ground and be slaughtered, as the other party was just playing with him like a cat with a mouse. Now that Yun Hai was obsessed, and Changming had absorbed part of the Sifei Sword’s spiritual powers, barely recovering his previous level up to fifty or sixty percent, it could be called a real battle.
But his chances in this battle were still low.
There was no doubt that Yun Weisi was the most talented and accomplished disciple out of those four.
If it was not for the tragic event of that year, he might have surpassed his teacher by now.
Yun Weisi had been cultivating in the Nine Layers of the Abyss for several decades. Although Yun Hai appeared eventually, and his memories were mostly lost, that did not damage his powers. After Yun Hai became obsessed, his seven emotions were cast aside, nothing could stop him, and he could even use all of Yun Weisi’s power. No matter whether his way was obstructed by the Sifei Sword or Jiufang Changming, nothing could obstruct his heart. On meeting a man, he would slay the man; on meeting a Buddha, he would slay the Buddha.
His attack left no room to escape, and he was even more insane than the merciless and unfeeling Yun Weisi.
Since he was not holding back at all, even if Changming fought with all his might, he still would not be able to defeat him.
Even more, if Changming made the slightest mistake, he would lose his life.
“[The sword gathers every spirit, the teaching returning to the divine principle; the rest suffers the great calamity, the beginning had yin and yang, go!]”
As the sword art was used, the night breeze suddenly flourished. The Sifei Sword split into seven, and the swords faced Yun Hai, blocking his way.
Changming used this opportunity to fly far away and gave orders from there.
Yun Hai brandished his sword without even thinking!
But, unexpectedly, his powerful spiritual powers bounced back, ricocheting from the sword barrier.
This formation was slightly more exquisite than the formation that trapped Fang Suihan, although they were similar in essence.
There were only seven swords.
Seven was an odd number, and neither Daoist, nor Buddhist sects attached hidden meanings to it.
But there was an ancient saying: “In its first stroke, seven is the principle of yang” [1].
