This is the hidden force of the Sushui Sword Aura.

The Green Tide Sword Aura is fierce and majestic.

The Sushui Sword Aura, however, is like a silent undertow in the water.

It seems mundane, yet in the depths of that undertow, invisible to the naked eye, lurks murderous intent.

If one can simultaneously comprehend and integrate the two major sword auras of Green Tide and Sushui, and switch effortlessly in actual combat, this swordsmanship would reach the Great Achievement Realm.

There is a possibility of realizing Sword Qi through this opportunity.

Liou Zhen is so powerful, known for the Snow Shattering Sword, and even quite renowned among Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.

It’s because he realized the Snow Shattering Sword Qi from the swordsmanship.

No matter how many Magic you have, once the Sword Qi is unleashed, one sword breaks all Magic.

On the other side.

Suddenly suffering such a heavy blow from the Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill, the Star Erosion at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer struggled to withstand it, plummeting hard from the rock wall to the ground.

Creating a depression at the canyon’s base.

The defense of that Star Erosion, however, again impressed Liou Yuan.

Despite falling from a height of over ten yards, it didn’t suffer any notable injuries.

Most of the cracks on its body were also ripped open by the Sushui Sword Aura.

But Liou Yuan would never let such a good opportunity to slay the Star Erosion pass by.

"Die!" With a low growl, Liou Yuan shot down from the sky, deploying the Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill once more.

Under continuous swings of the Canglan Sword, the Sushui Sword Aura detached from the blade, transforming into three illusory sword bodies made of sword aura, plummeting towards the Star Erosion.

The Shock Tide Swordsmanship has a total of nine swords.

The swordsmanship is like overlapping waves, each sword stronger than the last, with the final sword reaching the pinnacle of power.

The Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill has only three swords.

The sword that just injured the Star Erosion is called Rain Curtain Stealth, the fastest among the three swords.

This swordsmanship, which manifests three sharp swords, is called Silent Shadow Shattering Waves, and can be trained to transform into dozens of sharp swords.

The final sword is called Broken Rain Traceless, the most powerful.

And Silent Shadow Shattering Waves is the sword with the widest attack range in the Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill.

Perfectly suited to attack the massive body of the Star Erosion.

It has absolutely nowhere to escape.

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! The three sharp swords manifested by the Sushui Sword Aura pierced straight into the Star Erosion’s body.

Like three iron nails, they pinned the Star Erosion to the bottom of the canyon.

Liou Yuan tapped into Treading Flowing Waves, and just happened to land at the position of Star Erosion’s head.

His expression was cold, and he raised the Canglan Sword high, the green-blue sword aura on the blade extending nearly a yard from the sword peak.

Where the Sushui Sword Aura surged, it seemed as if silent currents were roiling violently.

"This is the last sword." Liou Yuan stared directly into the Star Erosion’s eyes, regardless of whether it could understand his words.

At the moment the words fell.

Whoosh!

The last sword of Silent Rain-Slaying, Broken Rain Traceless, was unleashed.

The green-blue sword aura entwined on the Canglan Sword swept over the neck of the Star Stone.

The entire process emitted no sound whatsoever.

The Star Erosion, which was still struggling violently before, stiffened as if struck by an Immobilization Spell after Liou Yuan’s sword, lying in the canyon’s bottom like a clay figure.

Liou Yuan remained motionless, his body still maintaining the posture of swinging the sword.

The movement of both man and Star Erosion seemed to freeze, silent and motionless.

About two breaths later.

Gush!!!

A large amount of filthy black blood spurted from the junction of the Star Erosion’s head and neck.

The copious blood dyed a large area of the canyon bottom black as ink.

With sword aura flickering on Liou Yuan’s body, he isolated the impending blood outside.

Only at this point did he leisurely retract his sword, sheathing the Canglan Sword.

His expression reflective, feeling a sense of comprehension from the few swords he had just deployed.

As for that Star Erosion, its head was already severed from its body, and the oily green fire in its eyes gradually extinguished.

"Silent Rain-Slaying is unfathomable; compared to the grandeur of the Shock Tide Swordsmanship, the Silent Rain-Slaying feels more like a sword skill cultivated specifically for killing."

Liou Yuan assessed the differences between Shock Tide and Sushui, the two major sword auras.

"This Green Tide Sushui Sword is merely at the Small Success Realm, yet possesses such power."

"If one can merge the two major sword auras of Green Tide and Sushui into one, this singular top-grade sword codex would definitely rival the power of a third-grade sword codex."

"No wonder my elder brother wants me to cultivate this sword codex."

During the battle with this Star Erosion, Liou Yuan also realized many inadequacies in his deployment of Silent Rain-Slaying.

Compared to the proficiency in Shock Tide, the Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill still seemed rather awkward.

After all, the difference between closed-door training and actual combat deployment is significant.

"Needs more practice," Liou Yuan muttered.

Then he bent down to pick up the Star Erosion Stone Bead from the fragments of stone debris.

The Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer Stone Bead counts as one Stone Skill.

The Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer Stone Bead counts as two Stone Skill.

The Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Stone Bead counts as four Stone Skill.

The Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Stone Bead counts as ten Stone Skill.

This Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Stone Bead’s four Stone Skill is equivalent to the sum of the two Stone Beads Liou Yuan had obtained before.

Similarly, there were two spiritually-rich stone pieces in the Star Erosion debris, which Liou Yuan collected for future Array arrangements.

"The Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill needs practice, and the inheritance of the Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation must not be neglected either."

After cleaning up the battlefield, Liou Yuan continued deeper into one end of the canyon.

His mindset had considerably changed compared to when he first arrived.

Regardless of whether this direction was an exit, there were quite a few Star Erosions here, and he was in no hurry to leave.

Five days later.

Five hundred miles away from where Liou Yuan slain the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Star Erosion, at the canyon’s bottom.

Liou Yuan engaged in a struggle with a Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer Star Erosion, wielding the Canglan Sword.

Strangely, he did not launch the fierce offensive against the Star Erosion as before, but instead focused mostly on defensively.
