Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 136: Borrowing Strength to Strike

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Alright, since Fellow Daoist is willing to compete, I will suppress my cultivation level."

He took out a bottle of pills and opened it for everyone to see. It was indeed a High Grade Qi-Scattering Pill at the Foundation Building Stage.

After swallowing five pills in a row, his cultivation level was suppressed to the strength of just entering the Foundation Building Stage, and his aura was half as weak as Chu Ming's.

Then he took out an Earth Rank Low Grade sword.

"I won't use my Profound Yang sword. I'll just use this ordinary flying sword suitable for early Foundation Building cultivators, without a sword spirit."

"We'll only compare swordsmanship, and stop when someone gets injured. Whoever injures the other will be considered the loser, alright?"

His words were full of confidence.

At the same time, he explained the rules, indicating that he wouldn't take advantage of the situation to harm others, just a simple competition.

Chu Ming smiled and jumped off Yin Yue, taking out an Earth Rank Low Grade sword from his storage ring.

It looked delicate, as if it was meant for female cultivators.

"My wife happened to give me a sword that contains an Earth Rank Low Grade flying sword. It seems to be better than Brother Yang's."

"But since Brother Yang considers himself to be highly skilled in swordsmanship, I'm sure he won't mind this slight advantage, right?" Chu Ming smiled faintly.

After hearing this, Yang Peng felt somewhat annoyed. This person was clearly showing off on purpose, specifically using Li Haimeng's sword to compete with him.

However, he didn't show his emotions on his face and simply said coldly, "No problem, let's begin."

Li Haimeng's face showed a worried expression. Even if the other party promised not to harm her husband, he would inevitably feel disappointed if he lost.

After all, which man doesn't care about face?

She was about to speak up to dissuade them, but Xiao Yuying held her hand at this moment.

She calmly said, "Sister, my husband has always been cautious. He should be confident."

Li Haimeng still worried secretly. She naturally understood the difference in swordsmanship between the two sides.

With her husband's Disordered Sword Art, it was basically impossible to win against Yang Peng.

Even if she added the few moves she usually taught him, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

But at this moment, Chu Ming had already rushed forward with his sword.

A golden aura infused into the sword, activating the fixed sword runes on it, making the entire sword shimmer with golden light.

This method made the sword more resilient and was often used in close combat.

Yang Peng also used the same method, but the light on his sword flickered with black, obviously different from ordinary golden aura.

This was the Integrated Union of his Sword Intent with a golden aura.

Although it wasn't a powerful Sword Intent, it could make the strength of the slash greater and the momentum more fierce.

But this was something that a sword cultivator without Sword Intent couldn't resist.

Yang Peng moved with a strange pace, rushing towards Chu Ming with an elusive figure.

After getting close to Chu Ming, he suddenly leaped up and slashed down towards Chu Ming's shoulder.

This sword strike was powerful and far beyond what an ordinary early Foundation Building cultivator could withstand, after all, it carried the force of a slash with Sword Intent.

Li Haimeng had been closely watching Yang Peng's movements. This move didn't intend to kill, but to hold back.

Her husband could also react, but he could only take it head-on and couldn't avoid it.

But when the two swords collided, her husband's sword didn't suffer any damage.

Clang!

The clash of the two swords produced a loud sound.

However, Chu Ming's sword was completely unharmed.

Yang Peng was secretly shocked. He felt that a large part of his sword strike seemed to have been cut through empty space, feeling weak and powerless.

What kind of technique was this?

Could it be that this person has also comprehended Sword Intent?

Although there are many low-level Sword Intents that are easy to grasp, not everyone can master them.

This person had just reached the Foundation Building Stage, and he wasn't even a dedicated sword cultivator. It was quite impressive for him to master Sword Intent.

Chu Ming naturally used the Reverse True Conversion and disguised it.

After blocking this sword, he added the absorbed force to his own sword and then slashed.

Such an attack is completely using the opponent's strength against them, not only can it neutralize the opponent's attack, but it can also strengthen one's own attack.

With such powerful true intent, at the same level, there are basically no opponents for him.

Yang Peng quickly blocked with his horizontal sword, but the force was unexpectedly strong, and he was knocked away with just one sword strike.

Everyone was shocked, as this scene was completely different from what they had expected.

Chu Ming not only could withstand this attack, but could even counterattack.

Yang Peng, on the other hand, almost failed to block this sword strike and appeared somewhat embarrassed.

Chu Ming didn't say much, suddenly leaped forward and followed up with another sword thrust.

His sword technique was extremely mysterious, making it difficult to fathom.

It seemed like he was aiming for Yang Peng's head, but halfway through it seemed like he was aiming for the chest, and in the end, it was aimed at the right shoulder.

Yang Peng quickly dodged, while feeling annoyed, he thrust towards Chu Ming's waist.

Clang!

Chu Ming easily blocked this sword strike as well, and then followed up with another strike.

Yang Peng no longer held back and fully defended, but the force of this sword strike was even greater than before, causing his arm to feel a bit numb.

The two fought for ten rounds, with Chu Ming using his mysterious and fast sword moves to force Yang Peng into mostly defensive positions.

Even if Yang Peng occasionally counterattacked, it was easily blocked by Chu Ming, followed by an even stronger slash.

The people around couldn't help but discuss Chu Ming's swordsmanship.

"This person's swordsmanship is incredibly profound, much better than Yang Peng's astonishing sword technique."

"No wonder he dares to fight, turns out he has something to rely on."

"To have such advanced swordsmanship in the early stage of Foundation Building, this person's talent in sword cultivation is definitely outstanding."

...

Li Haimeng was a bit confused. Indeed, her husband was using the Disordered Sword Art, but it looked completely different from usual.

It was simply extremely profound, much stronger than most Foundation Building sword techniques.

While easily dealing with Yang Peng, Chu Ming smiled and responded to the people around him, "My swordsmanship has also improved thanks to the guidance of my wife."

The people looked at Li Haimeng and couldn't help but marvel.

"Even if Fairy Li can't use a sword, her understanding of swordsmanship is still so strong."

"This is also because this Daoist brother has strong talent in sword cultivation, otherwise he wouldn't have made such progress."

"It seems that Fairy Li had a reason to choose this Daoist brother for marriage."

...

Li Haimeng secretly smiled bitterly after hearing this. The swordsmanship her husband displayed was completely different from what she had taught him. How could it be her teaching?

It seemed that her husband had been hiding his true abilities all this time. Why would he do that?

Li Haimeng was puzzled, but she didn't plan to ask too much now. If her husband said so, then let it be considered her teaching.

After the twelfth move, Chu Ming cut off Yang Peng's sword.

He briefly placed the tip of the sword against Yang Peng's neck, then quickly withdrew it.

Holding the sword hilt, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yang, I concede."

"If Brother Yang's cultivation hadn't been lowered by half, I might not have been able to win."

"I also know about the matter of my wife borrowing the sword, so I thank Brother Yang for lending it."

This statement was also giving face to the other party.

Many sword cultivators around nodded secretly.

An old sword cultivator said, "This is the gentlemanly demeanor that a sword cultivator should have."

"This person's swordsmanship and character are both superior to Yang Peng."

"Li Haimeng's judgment is not wrong."

Yang Peng had an embarrassed expression on his face and felt annoyed.

He had thought he would easily win and regain his face, but he didn't expect to embarrass himself even more.

But now that he had lost, it would be even more embarrassing to make a fuss.

So he frowned and cupped his hands, "No need to concede, your skills are superior, and I admit defeat."

He then turned to Li Haimeng and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, can I have my sword back?"

Li Haimeng didn't know how to respond, as she couldn't control the sword either.

However, Chu Ming gave a command to Mo Feng to follow Yang Peng.

After Mo Feng flew in front of Yang Peng, he cupped his hands towards the crowd and bid farewell, then flew away on his sword without staying any longer.
