Danwu Refining Spirit

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Defeating the Enemy in One Move

A perfectly good sword technique was somehow made to sound lewd by the cauldron spirit, which Xiao Chong could only attribute to the cauldron spirit's deep resentment towards Lu Zu.

But he still had to learn it. Other sword techniques were too profound to be digested in a short time, and with Xiao Chong's current Yuan energy, he could only support him to use this most basic move.

As expected of the legacy of a veteran immortal, this move "Layered Waves" was as fast as lightning and as swift as thunder, aiming straight for Situ Jiannan's chest. Its speed, power, and momentum all reached their peak.

Those observing the scene didn't think much of it, but Situ Jiannan, who was directly in the spotlight, immediately felt immense pressure.

The feeling was like facing a vast ocean, with towering waves roaring and threatening to knock you down and tear you to pieces.

"what!"

Faced with danger, Situ Jiannan dared not hesitate. He immediately shouted and focused all his attention, swinging his long sword to meet the attack head-on.

Strangely, when the two swords clashed, there were no sparks flying or deafening noise, but they remained tightly stuck together, like a pair of lovers reunited after a long separation.

Why was this lover so rude? Situ Jiannan felt an overwhelming force, through the long sword in his hand, crashing into him, a force that inexplicably made his heart tremble.

In the critical moment, Situ Jiannan's Yuan Power surged forth like a tide, penetrating straight through the sword. Driven by him, a sword light shone from the hilt, flowing across the blade like a poignant moonlight, and disappearing into the point where the two swords met.

Moonlit Slash! The Situ family's secret technique, passed down only to men! Situ Mingyue's eyes lit up as she looked at Situ Jiannan with admiration.

But you used such a powerful technique as soon as you started fighting. Brother, are you sure you're not wasting your talents? We agreed not to fight to the death, are you trying to kill us with one move?

Thinking that Xiao Chong was about to die on the spot, Situ Mingyue quickly closed her eyes again, unable to bear to watch any longer.

However, the scream she had imagined did not occur. Situ Mingyue curiously opened her eyes a crack to see what had happened.

The veins on his own brother's forehead were bulging, yet he still clashed swords with the other, like two thugs fighting each other.

Where's the gorgeous swordsmanship you promised? Where's the elegant movement? Don't you guys feel ashamed of your fighting style? Situ Mingyue couldn't stand it anymore.

Situ Jiannan was completely unaware of his sister's veiled complaints. He was struggling to withstand the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword, suffering in silence.

There must be something strange about the opponent's sword! The Moonlit Slash, which used to be unrestrained, was like a little girl encountering a rogue under the opponent's sword, without any power to resist.

Moreover, a bone-chilling cold emanated from the opponent's sword; if he stopped, the sword would immediately counterattack and freeze him solid.

"Let's go for it! If we continue, we'll definitely lose!" Feeling that the force in Xiao Chong's sword seemed to have eased, Situ Jiannan gritted his teeth and poured all his Yuan Power into the longsword in his hand.

Xiao Chong had no idea that the despicable man in front of him had lost his mind. He was simply following the method taught in the sword manual and fully activating the Immortal Slaying Sword, ignoring everything else.

"what!"

With a roar like that of a wild beast, Situ Jiannan's long sword suddenly emitted a light as bright as the midday sun.

The light was so intense that it blinded the onlookers, and even the gradually darkening sky was suddenly illuminated for a moment.

What is this?! Blazing Sun Slash! Impossible! Blazing Sun Slash requires a Warrior Realm to master, and my brother is only a Martial Student Realm. How could he use this sword technique? Did he use some kind of harmful secret method?

Situ Mingyue was greatly surprised. She forced herself to endure the stinging pain and opened her eyes.

Situ Jiannan's face was contorted with rage, and blood was streaming from the corners of his eyes. Although he was a swordsmanship genius of the Situ family and had practiced swordsmanship since childhood, the Blazing Sun Slash placed extremely high demands on the user's physical condition, far beyond what he could achieve at his current level.

Unfortunately, the power emanating from Xiao Chong's sword was too terrifying, leaving him no choice but to forcefully unleash this sword technique, disregarding the fact that it had already exceeded his body's limits.

The Fiery Sun Slash was indeed extraordinary. Situ Jiannan clearly sensed that the power emanating from Xiao Chong's sword had slowed down and was gradually fading away.

You're finished! Is that all the tricks you have? Then don't blame me for being ruthless!

Situ Jiannan was overjoyed and was determined to take down his opponent in one fell swoop.

He squeezed out every drop of his vital energy and poured it into the longsword along his arm. From the hilt to the blade, the sword light, as intense as the sun, became even more dazzling.

"Break!" Situ Jiannan roared again, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, but he didn't care.

As long as I can defeat this despicable madman in front of me, it doesn't matter if I suffer some loss in my cultivation. I can always make up for it by training hard for a year or two.

The Blazing Sun Slash, imbued with the sun's power to melt away all things, was the perfect counter to the chilling aura emanating from the opponent's sword. Situ Jiannan could almost picture Xiao Chong being torn apart and charred beyond recognition by the Blazing Sun Slash.

However, the scene he imagined did not happen.

The intense sword light continued to flow along the blade, instantly disappearing into the point where the two swords met, as silently as a clay ox entering the sea.

Immediately afterwards, an even stronger wave of cold air surged from the opponent's sword, like a tidal wave crashing against the shore, and a wave swept him in.

This is the third burst of power from the "Layered Waves"!

In the blink of an eye, a layer of white frost rose from the top of Situ Jiannan's head and quickly spread to his cheeks, arms, clothes, legs, and even the soles of his feet.

Except for his two eyes, which can still move, Situ Jiannan looks like a newly sculpted snowman.

The change happened so fast that everyone watching was stunned.

Xiao Chong withdrew the Immortal-Slaying Sword, stood still, raised the sword above his head with both hands, and gently compared it to the snowman's face. The snowman's eyes blinked rapidly.

"stop!"

Worried about her brother's safety, Situ Mingyue was the first to react. With a shout, she rushed to Xiao Chong and spread her arms to protect her brother behind her.

In his haste, he spread his arms too wide, causing a surge of waves to rise in front of his chest, one after another, no less than Xiao Chong's "Layered Waves".

"Grab him! Grab him! What are you still holding the sword for? Use your hands!" The cauldron spirit's extremely anxious and lewd voice rang out again, almost deafening Xiao Chong.

"Go to hell! What half-immortal? He's nothing but a lecher!" Xiao Chong mustered his will and fiercely retaliated.

The cauldron spirit was probably too excited. Caught off guard, it was hit by Xiao Chong and fled in defeat after letting out a wail.

With a whoosh, Xiao Chong sheathed the Immortal-Slaying Sword and smiled at Situ Mingyue, "Miss Mingyue, can I say I've won this battle?"

Seeing that Xiao Chong did not press his advantage, Situ Mingyue was slightly relieved, but then anxiously asked, "Of course you won, but what about my brother? Will something happen to him?"

Xiao Chong laughed and said, "The frost on his body is fine, it will melt away in a while, but I don't know about the injury he suffered when he used his swordsmanship just now."

"That's good, that's good..." Situ Mingyue patted her chest nervously, her breasts heaving again.

Looking at the wave after wave of raging waves before him, Xiao Chong realized something. He felt that his "Layered Waves" technique, with only three levels of force, was far too weak and needed to be improved.
