Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen: Yi Jian

Regardless of how it evolved to this point, it has indeed happened.
There's no point in saying more; just focus on the present.
"In this battle... what are the odds for both sides?"
"Miss Yue is the chief disciple of Miaoyin Mountain, with a cultivation level of three realms and two barriers. Even among acquired cultivators, she is considered to be above average."
“In addition, she possesses the aura of a sovereign dragon, able to restrict divine powers and sever cultivation; below the innate level, she likely has few rivals.”
“It is said that the Sword-Playing Sect's Heart Sword cultivation method is profound, with the ability to enter tribulations, experiencing upheavals across three realms during the tribulations; at the beginning of entering tribulations, one can greatly enhance their cultivation, even getting close to the innate level!”
“The Song family may be following the kingly way, with a hidden dragon in the deep, but they have yet to encounter a significant turning point. The amount of dragon energy generated by a single province is limited. They still need to nurture that hidden dragon. Even if Miss Yue is the legitimate daughter of the Song family and possesses kirin bloodline, she is likely to receive very little dragon energy.”
“Therefore, her alone with dragon energy can suppress, at most, dropping her opponent's postnatal realm by one level. If that Meng Fanyin's Heart Sword enters the tribulation and approaches the innate realm, then with this drop, both sides will be at the third realm, second level, in the postnatal stage!”
```html“So, are the two of them meeting good talents, like chess pieces facing each other?”
“Why bother with all these things? One person's dragon energy can't hold up, and a whole army can't either. Let the Song family's guards form a royal army formation to directly drive away this Sword-playing Sect's successor. Soon, everything will be fine. Why insist on a duel?”```
“……”
Inside the arena, they were at odds, while whispers circulated outside.
Thus, after a while.
Song Yue made no move, nor did Meng Fanyin.
The crowd looked at each other in confusion, not understanding.
Only Zhang Zhou pondered: "The Heart Sword Chess Technique of the Yi Jian Men focuses on the two characters 'heart' and 'chess'—it emphasizes responding after the enemy's move, advancing step by step, so it rarely attacks first; it waits for the enemy to advance before striking back."
Yun Zhen also nodded: "Myoyin Mountain is a place for heretical paths, and its teachings and knowledge are very diverse. Aside from the fundamental core of the furnace and cauldron methods, there are also inheritances in martial arts, sword techniques, and spellcraft. This person is also the legitimate daughter of the Song family, and must have mastered the Song family's profound techniques, making her strength unfathomable. It's possible she has countermeasures specifically against the Yijian Sect. If we let her accumulate power unchecked, her opponents may find themselves in danger."
Watching from the sidelines, with constant commentary.
Yet the two in the field are undisturbed, still in confrontation, still gathering strength.
Suddenly...
"Buzz!"
The long sword trembles lightly, like a dragon's roar. Song Yue's eyes narrow instantly as she leaps into the air, a sword flying like an immortal, directly targeting her opponent.
At the moment the sword was drawn, everyone felt a sense of wrongness; the world suddenly dimmed, all overshadowed by the brilliance and grace of that one sword.
Flying Immortal Sword!
Slaughter Technique!
One of the supreme sword techniques of Miaoyin Mountain, said to be derived from the ancient sword cultivators' methods. With a single sword, it transcends to immortality, separating life from death; it is undoubtedly a lethal technique, with its essence lying in speed, sharpness, and the act of killing.
Hurry!
Awesome!
Kill!
Even the onlookers outside were captivated by the might and grace of this sword, feeling as if the world dimmed, leaving only this one sword, soaring like an immortal, with a sense of impending doom that cut through life itself. Their eyes, minds, and souls were all pierced by the brilliance.
What a fast sword!
What a sharp sword!
What a terrifying sword!
The crowd's hearts stopped abruptly; they were overwhelmed by the power of this sword, unable to catch their breath, with their minds and thoughts frozen in place, only remembering the grandeur of the Flying Immortal's sword.
Until...
"Chirp!"
A sound resounding like a phoenix rising; the killing sword momentum shattered explosively. The figure of the flying immortal flipped back and landed on the ground, retreating several steps. With each step back, droplets of fresh red fell, marking a distinct trace on the earth, amidst the frost and snow.
"Bang!"
In the final step, to halt the retreat, Song Yue's face was as pale as frost, her left shoulder marked with fresh red spots, actually a sword wound that pierced through.
Looking at Meng Fanyin, she still stood in place, holding the jade flute as if it were a sword, yet not smeared with a trace of blood; only in the snow-covered ground before her were scattered drops of bright red blood, resembling dots of plum blossoms.
Each drop of that blood held astonishing warmth, melting the surrounding frost and snow, quickly transforming from snowy plum blossoms into pools of blood.
That was... Song Yue's blood!
飞仙之剑，杀生之术，就这么被破了。
积蓄良久，先起攻势的宋悦被梦梵音后手破招，一剑击伤。
这……怎么一回事？
How did she do it?
No one knows, their eyes filled with confusion.
With their level of cultivation and strength, they can't even catch up with that flying sword, let alone see the process of breaking the move clearly.
Regardless of whether the crowd can see it clearly or not, this Flying Immortal Sword Technique has been broken, and Song Yue has also been wounded in the left shoulder by Meng Fanyin.
```htmlIs the victory and defeat already determined?
“The Heart Sword Chess Technique is indeed extraordinary, but…”
Song Yue looked at Meng Fanyin and took a deep breath: “This is just the beginning!”
As soon as she finished speaking, her left shoulder erupted with a burst of blood light, and droplets of blood flowed back like pearls, the wound healing in an instant.```
Song Clan Qilin Blood!
This is a unique bloodline of the Song clan, innate and mysterious, extraordinary beyond compare. It is said that not to mention a mere sword wound, even if limbs are severed or internal organs crushed, it can rely on the burning effect of the Qilin True Blood to regenerate flesh and blood, rapidly healing itself.
The sword wound healed in an instant, and Song Yue launched another attack, no longer using the breathtakingly exquisite Flying Immortal Sword Technique but instead...
"Drink!"
With a fierce shout, Song Yue's blood light gathered around her, like the true fire of the earth's veins erupting, with the heart of the mountain flowing with lava. The terrifying heat expanded outward, completely melting and evaporating the frost and snow covering the ground, revealing the cracked and broken earth beneath.
"This is..."
Although everyone had the foresight to retreat a hundred steps away early on, at this moment they still felt a scorching wave coming toward them, instantly drying their hair, causing their blood to surge, their minds to be restless, and their spirits to leave their bodies, as if they were falling into the fires of hell.
"True Blood of the Qilin!"
"Has it come to this?"
"It seems this Song family legitimate daughter is truly furious!"
"No wonder she's gone mad, considering what happened to Song Yu!"
“Can the power of this Qilin blood be stopped by the Dream Fragrance Sound?”
The onlookers were horrified, and Zhang Zhouyun appeared equally serious.
Qilin blood!
The Qilin blood of the Song family, when burned, not only can heal injuries and allow flesh to be reborn, but also can enhance cultivation and improve one’s physical abilities.
Song Yue originally had the cultivation of the second barrier of the third realm. If he ignited the true blood of the Qilin at any cost, he could elevate his cultivation to the third barrier of the third realm, becoming a congenital peak powerhouse.
How is Meng Fanyin's cultivation level now?
No one knows!
But if we make the greatest assumption, relying on her heart sword to enter the tribulation, with the initial strength, her cultivation is close to innate, yet it is only at the third realm and the third barrier.
Song Yue is the legitimate daughter of the Song family, possessing the royal dragon energy. She first eliminates the cultivation of Meng Fanyin, and then ignites the true blood of the Qilin to enhance her own physical capabilities. After this exchange, there is a difference of one level.
Meng Fanyin's Heart Sword enters the tribulation, dragon aura suppressed, three realms and two barriers!
Song Yue's King Dao protects, true blood burns, three realms and three barriers!
Strong opponents contend, every detail can determine victory or defeat, even life or death, let alone a whole barrier difference!
Song Yue's action is to use force to suppress and break the Heart Sword Game of Dream Fanyin!
