Chapter 140: I Know Swordsmanship

Upon hearing this, the extraordinary ninth-level cultivator on the opposite side curled his lips into a sneer. Holding a third-grade mid-tier spiritual weapon sword in his hand, a look of smugness appeared in his eyes as he said:
“Yun Ze, you say your luck is quite good, so I wonder just how far your luck really goes! Your martial art is spear techniques, but I’m curious if you can display spear techniques with this spiritual weapon blade.”
“By the way, I forgot to tell you, I practice swordsmanship, and this spirit weapon is just right for me! Haha...”
At the end of his words, this disciple at the ninth level of Transcendence let out a burst of wild laughter.
As he spoke, he urged his spiritual sword, and the sword light trembled on the blade, emitting a ringing sound.
Ripples of water emerged on the sword's surface, followed by an astonishing aura radiating from it.
“Azure Water Flow Sword! My root quality is dual attributed to Water and Light. The martial skills I deploy are precisely from the Water and Light attributes, and coupled with this third-level medium-grade spiritual tool, my strength has increased at least several times. Now, even if I face someone at the third level of Void Breaking, I still have the strength to defeat them with a single sword strike,”
“Yun Ze, today I will defeat you in just three moves…” Unprecedented momentum and confidence surged from his body.
He raised his sword and pointed it at Yun Ze, shouting as he charged forward.
"First move! Water light in ten colors... Slash..." As his voice rang out, ten sword lights shot out from the sword, their astonishing power causing those around to turn their heads in surprise.
Seeing this scene, the crowd looked towards Yun Ze, shaking their heads, their faces filled with regret. Without the handy spiritual weapon, Yun Ze was afraid he couldn't handle this move.
This person at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm said that defeating him in three moves would already be an overestimation of Yun Ze. It's likely that one move could easily defeat him.
Among the three inner sect elders in the Spirit Building Realm, their mouths curled into smirks of disdain and mockery, with a hint of playfulness flickering in their eyes.
Just when everyone thought Yunze might be defeated by this attack, he took a step forward and smiled lightly at the incoming ninth layer of the Transcendence Realm.
“Sorry, I also forgot to tell you that besides marksmanship, I am skilled with knives as well. Furthermore, the lower the level of the spiritual weapon, the greater the power I can unleash with my knife skills. You said you could defeat me in three moves; I’ll return the favor and say that I can beat you... with just one move!”
Once these words came out of Yun Ze's mouth, the people around were taken aback, but soon their faces were filled with mockery.
Everyone felt that Yun Ze was just boasting; with a second-tier spirit weapon knife, how could he claim to defeat his opponent with a single strike?
What's even more unbelievable is that Yun Ze claims he has sword skills. How could this be possible when no one has ever seen him demonstrate any sword techniques?
Not to mention, practicing martial arts isn't something that can be mastered overnight. Yun Ze is skilled with the spear, but as for other skills, given his age, it's doubtful he has trained to a high level in them.
It is precisely for this reason that the elder who was up to no good handed a spiritual weapon knife to Yun Ze. Consequently, no one believed that Yun Ze could win.
Just as everyone was thinking this, Yun Ze had already faced off against the disciple at the ninth level of the Transcendence Realm, and the spiritual weapon knife in his hand swept towards the opponent's spiritual weapon sword.
A secondary middle-grade spirit weapon dagger facing a tertiary middle-grade spirit weapon sword is simply asking for trouble.
Everyone is waiting for Yun Ze's spirit weapon dagger to be destroyed, hoping that his opponent will take the opportunity to defeat him.
As everyone watched in anticipation, the spirit artifact knife in Yunze's hand ignited with a burst of flames, and that astonishing energy instantly enveloped the ten sword energies that were charging towards him.
The ten sword energies infused with water energy were evaporated in an instant by the flames. The sword energies were immediately shattered.
The flame aura on the blade directly struck the spirit weapon sword. The astonishing sword technique left everyone present in shock.
Bang... The powerful energy erupted, causing the spirit weapon sword to be jolted out of hand and the flame aura from the blade collided with the heart of the Ninefold Transcendence in an instant.
Although the other party quickly used true energy to erect an energy shield to block the blade light, the true energy shield was broken in an instant by the fiery blade light. Then, it heavily struck his body.
轰……这名脱凡九重直接倒飞出去，嘴里鲜血狂喷，身前的衣服让刀芒炸得焚烧出一个大洞。
他整个人的皮肤露在外面，一片血肉模糊。
He struggled to stand up, but the force of the strike had already rendered him immobile. If it weren't for Yun Ze's reluctance to kill him, this blow would have been enough to eliminate him.
“一招！败你……你可服？！”云泽冷冷看向地上的脱凡九重，嘴角挂了丝嘲讽。
As soon as he said this, the Transcendent Ninth Layer felt a surge of humiliation and anger on his face. He opened his mouth to respond, but at that moment, he could no longer endure his injuries, and coughed up blood before directly fainting.
There was absolute silence at the scene, as everyone stared blankly at Yun Ze, their eyes filled with disbelief.
He actually defeated his opponent with just one move. In a situation where spiritual weapons were at a disadvantage, and the opponent's spiritual weapon was suitable and matched with their martial skills, he actually won.
At this moment, Yun Ze looked up at the three inner sect elders in the Spirit Building Realm, a playful expression appearing on his face:
“Oh dear, I forgot to mention that I know sword techniques. Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me be so lucky to acquire a spirit weapon knife.”
```htmlSpeaking of this, Yun Ze took out the spirit weapon knife in his hand, a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Unfortunately, this spirit weapon knife has too low a quality; it can't withstand the wear and tear!"
With his words, the spirit weapon knife in his hand instantly shattered into dozens of pieces.```
Looking at the shattered fragments of the spirit tool, the three inner sect elders in the Spirit Building realm in the air felt a surge of anger and resentment in their eyes. Their faces twitched, yet for a moment, they didn't know how to vent their frustrations.
Even if they knew that Yun Ze was speaking indirectly and that he intentionally shattered the spirit weapon knife to make them uncomfortable, they could only endure it.
They didn't cause any trouble; what could you do?! If you truly get angry out of shame, wouldn't that just admit to your own shameless actions!
“The ranking conference has just begun; this is only one victory. Don’t get too complacent,” one of the Spirit Building realm elders snorted coldly, feeling somewhat unwilling.
Hearing this, Yun Ze looked at him with disdain and said, “Don’t worry; if I want to enter the inner door, no one can stop me—no one… If you don’t believe it, feel free to give it a try!”
His voice was domineering and arrogant. The three elders at the Spirit Building Stage Level 1 were so angry they shook all over, but they had no way to deal with Yun Ze.
In the crowd, Lu Cheng felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction at the sight.
Yun Luo looked at her brother with joy on her face. She wanted to cheer for him but was afraid it would disturb him; the little girl simply stared obediently.
Yun Ze left his own competition platform and walked toward the resting area on one side, directing his gaze towards the platform where Nangong Yan, Fang Hu, and Fang Qiong were competing.
他们三人的灵器虽然不合手，但是，第一轮对战的对手，实力却是并不强。都是脱凡境。
Moreover, in terms of spiritual weapons, everyone was on the same starting line and were not specifically targeted like Yun Ze.
