Chapter 971: Fragmented Swordsmanship Manual
The killing power of the sword, among the young geniuses of the Nine Domains, is already considered one of the best, second only to Sword Slashing Immortal and others.
If it weren't for encountering Chu Fengmian in this Nine Domains Genius Battle, he might have been able to reach the top twenty, or even the top ten in ranking.
But now, Chu Fengmian is actually using such a figure to practice swordsmanship? Treating Sword of Killing as a sparring partner, disposing of him once he's no longer useful?
Arrogant.
This is the word that came to everyone's mind.
Chu Fengmian's personality is arrogantly extreme.
But now, he has the right to be arrogant. Sword of Killing, in front of Chu Fengmian, is like a toy, controlled in his hands.
"Crack."
On the viewing platform, the chair where Sword Abyss Master sits is showing countless cracks, his hands clenched tightly, anger in his eyes reaching the extreme.
Sword of Killing is one of the talents specially trained by Heavenly Sword Sect, potentially capable of challenging the Supreme Ancestor in the future.
But now, he's dead in Chu Fengmian's hands, even his powerful blood essence has been devoured by Chu Fengmian.
Even with Heavenly Sword Sect's ability that reaches the heavens, they cannot bring Sword of Killing back to life.
"Slashing Immortal, you must kill him!"
Sword Abyss Master looked at Sword Slashing Immortal, roaring in fury.
Sword Slashing Immortal nodded, his gaze turned towards Chu Fengmian, already filled with killing intent.
This time, if they don't kill Chu Fengmian, Heavenly Sword Sect will never be able to lift their heads.
Seeing the killing intent from Sword Abyss Master and Sword Slashing Immortal, Chu Fengmian's mouth only showed a slight cold smile.
The enmity between him and Heavenly Sword Sect is already described as endless, even if mercy is shown, Heavenly Sword Sect would never appreciate Chu Fengmian.
Moreover, when dealing with enemies, Chu Fengmian does not plan to show mercy.
Chu Fengmian sat below the stage, closed his eyes again.
In his mind, he carefully recalled the scenes from the recent battle.
During the recent fight with Sword of Killing, Chu Fengmian did not use any other swordsmanship, using solely Sky Slaughter Sword Technique to combat.
His intention was to practice swordsmanship; his Sky Slaughter Sword Technique is now complete, with Chu Fengmian's current understanding of swordsmanship, after several battles, he can thoroughly comprehend the swordsmanship.
From Chu Fengmian's mind, the ancient book recording Nine Domains Sword Technique opened again, the blank page now documenting Sky Slaughter Sword Technique.
Chu Fengmian sensed the power within him has grown stronger due to the integration of Sky Slaughter Sword Technique.
Nine Domains Sword Technique is now bound to Chu Fengmian, its perfection is enough to continuously enhance Chu Fengmian's Realm.
However, integrating one sword technique alone is far from enabling Chu Fengmian's Realm to breakthrough.
He aims to break through by continuously integrating his Insights of swordsmanship into Nine Domains Sword Technique.
After doing all this, Chu Fengmian brings out the Sword Dao Totem again, placing it in front and closing his eyes.
He begins to comprehend the Sword Dao Totem.
There are dozens of sword techniques within the Sword Dao Totem, if Chu Fengmian can comprehend all the sword techniques on the Sword Dao Totem and integrate them into Nine Domains Sword Technique through continuous practice,
even if Chu Fengmian's Realm has not broken through by then, his power will rapidly advance.
In the next few battles, Chu Fengmian didn't participate; almost every challenger would automatically forfeit upon hearing Chu Fengmian's name.
Seven Prince and Sword of Killing, both are already dead at the hands of Chu Fengmian.
Many of their strength is far below these two, facing Chu Fengmian would mean certain defeat, hence they all chose to forfeit.
Chu Fengmian didn't mind, encountering weak opponents can't even qualify for practicing swordsmanship.
Without interruption, Chu Fengmian fully immersed himself in Sword Dao Totem, constantly comprehending.
Another seven days passed, Chu Fengmian had already comprehended almost a hundred sword techniques from Sword Dao Totem.
He's almost reaching the limit.
The Sword Dao Totem before Chu Fengmian is merely the last of the nineteen Sword Dao Totems.
It records the least number of sword techniques.
For the majority of Sword Cultivators, spending their lifetime may still not allow them to comprehend all the sword techniques within.
But for Chu Fengmian, fifteen days was almost enough.
Now Chu Fengmian feels that he has comprehended a hundred and one sword techniques within the Sword Dao Totem.
Only the last one remains unrevealed.
This last sword technique seems to be more elusive and complex than all the previous sword techniques combined.
Even for Chu Fengmian, it felt extremely challenging.
"I don't believe there exists a sword technique in this world that I can't comprehend!"
Chu Fengmian's eyes revealed a serious expression.
Chu Fengmian is indeed a Sword Dao genius, surpassing even the Sword Dao Master's aptitude.
There has never been a part of the Nine Domains Sword Technique that Chu Fengmian could not comprehend, and this Sword Dao Totem is no exception.
Another three days passed.
Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down from Chu Fengmian's forehead.
Fully immersing in comprehending sword techniques is extremely exhausting for Chu Fengmian; just as he was about to collapse from exhaustion, he finally slowly opened his eyes and sighed with relief.
He finally revealed the last sword technique within the Sword Dao Totem.
"This sword technique is merely a fragment."
After painstakingly comprehending the sword technique, it turned out to be just a fragment, not even a complete sword technique.
However, upon carefully reading the contents recorded in the sword technique, instead of disappointment, Chu Fengmian's eyes radiated excitement.
Although this unnamed sword technique is merely a fragment with limited content, Chu Fengmian could feel a sense of the true essence of Sword Dao from the scant content.
The true essence of Sword Dao has always been a rumored yet elusive concept, it is said any sword technique that approaches this essence others more closely.
And the sword technique closest to the true essence of Sword Dao is considered the world's best sword technique.
Like Slaughter Sword Technique, Sky Slaughter Sword Technique, even Chu Fengmian's current Nine Domains Sword Technique, are all outstanding among countless sword techniques.
But Chu Fengmian still feels that these sword techniques are far from the true essence of Sword Dao.
Yet, this fragmentary unnamed sword technique made Chu Fengmian feel the presence of Sword Dao's true essence, just by reading parts of it, he sensed his Sword Dao insight advancing further.
"The sword technique recorded in this fragment is extraordinary."
Chu Fengmian finished reading the recorded sword technique in the fragment reluctantly returning to his senses.
