Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 444 - 414: Mo Yu’s Formidability

No one knew Mo Yu’s true strength, so naturally, no one re-ranked him.

That was why he had remained in the position of the Tai’a Ten Heroes for the past two years.

But everyone knew that Mo Yu’s strength must be extremely formidable, so even on the Tai’a Ten Heroes list, he still held the top position!

"Buzzing..."

In front of Mo Yu, the flying sword vibrated with a hum.

His sword was a transparent blade, like crystal, yet as thin as a cicada’s wing.

"Swoosh!"

The next moment, the flying sword shot out.

Soundless and traceless.

Like a strange sprite.

This was Mo Yu’s most skilled swordsmanship—the Shadowless Sword.

Silent and invisible, killing without a trace!

Zhu Linglong’s expression turned solemn.

As soon as Mo Yu drew his sword, she knew this battle would be extremely difficult.

Above the arena, Sword Qi burst forth continuously, with swords’ shadows rampaging through the air.

Sword Qi constantly collided, invisible fluctuations sweeping out unstoppably.

For all sword cultivators, this was a feast, a visual spectacle.

Similarly, it was of immense help to their cultivation.

This is why the wars between martial artists always attracted countless spectators, not only because the fights themselves were spectacular but also because watching the battles of martial artists could bring tremendous help to oneself.

This was even more so for sword cultivators, as their cultivation path was incredibly difficult, even more so than other paths.

The way of the sword cultivator was often referred to as a one-line sky.

Cultivating the way of the sword was like walking a narrow path with only one line, and it was very narrow—if one could not pass, there was no way back at all.

Therefore, watching the battles of higher-level sword cultivators was naturally a priceless opportunity for them.

At this moment, the battle between Zhu Linglong and Mo Yu was exactly such an opportunity for most sword cultivators.

The fight continued relentlessly for an hour, growing more and more intense as this hour went on, with not a single pause in the surging of the Sword Qi.

All manner of swordsmanship and sword moves emerged in quick succession.

But after about an hour of continuous fierce combat, the tide of battle began to lean towards Mo Yu.

Mo Yu’s Sword Momentum began to completely suppress Zhu Linglong.

Zhu Linglong’s Sword Qi began to gather around her, forming layer upon layer of Sword Qi Barriers.

Now she could only defend passively.

And Mo Yu’s Sword Momentum became even more aggressive.

"Now is the moment!"

A sharp determination flashed in Mo Yu’s eyes.

"Boom!"

He unleashed a sword strike.

The surrounding world suddenly changed color.

This was an actual change.

It was still a blazing summer day, the sun hanging high in the sky.

But with Mo Yu’s sword strike, darkness suddenly descended.

Pitch-black, unable to see one’s own fingers!

Unable to see anything, the whole world was dim.

And within this boundless darkness, one could neither see any Sword Qi nor hear any sound of it.

"This is the true Shadowless Sword!"

"Mo Yu has cultivated the Shadowless Sword to such a level!"

"This is definitely the Grandmaster Realm!"

"What realm is Mo Yu in now? He’s not yet in the Nascent Soul Realm, is he?"

Even the Elders of Tai’a Academy with their Golden Seals couldn’t help but start talking among themselves at this moment.

One of these Golden Core Elders was Mo Yu’s master.

He came here to watch the battle at Tianyong, wishing to see just how much Mo Yu had grown.

"Mo Yu is but one step away from stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm. To be precise, he has half a foot already placed in the level of the Nascent Soul, but he can suppress his own cultivation and has not entered into the Nascent Soul," said Elder Jin Ying, known as the Saint of Canglang, originally named Li Canglang.

Li Canglang is a Martial Saint who has been renowned for a long time.

He was present at the scene when Qin Qing, together with Cang Yuan and Liu Yuanhuai, undertook the trial to ascend the Wind-Fire Tower.

He even wanted to take Qin Qing and Cang Yuan as his disciples.

Mo Yu was one of Li Canglang’s proud students.

"Mo Yu suppresses his own cultivation and does not move into the Nascent Soul. Is it possible he’s doing this to condense a Sword Seed Nascent Soul?" another elder from Tai’a Academy suddenly said.

The so-called Sword Seed Nascent Soul refers to the fusion of three hundred and sixty-five types of Sword Intent into the Golden Core within the Golden Core Realm, forming a Sword Seed Golden Core.

Such a Golden Core, once broken to form a Nascent Soul, results in a Nascent Soul with a formidable Sword Momentum.

This is what we call a Sword Seed Nascent Soul.

Three hundred and sixty-five Sword Intents, without a single one missing.

Yet, Mo Yu’s Golden Core had fused three hundred and sixty-four types of Sword Intent, always lacking one; therefore, he constantly suppressed his cultivation, not entering the Nascent Soul Realm.

His thought was to condense a Sword Seed Golden Core and eventually form a Sword Seed Nascent Soul.

A Sword Seed Nascent Soul would surely become a saint in the future, and there is a saying that a Sword Cultivator with a Sword Seed Nascent Soul could break the heavens with their power.

What does it mean to break the heavens with power?

It is to shatter the majesty of heaven and earth with the fierce Sword Dao.

To generate Daoist Magic independent of the world’s rules.

Of course, this is a legend, and whether it will turn out to be true has yet to be verified.

But there is such a saying.

As for the final outcome, no one knows exactly how it will be.

Mo Yu also cannot be certain of the final result.

However, there is an intuition deep within that if he can condense a Sword Seed Nascent Soul, his achievements in the future will surely surpass those of his mentor, the Saint of Canglang!

Even the Unmatched Saint of Tai’a Academy would not be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him!

Empowered with this belief, Mo Yu’s determination was extremely firm.

At this moment, Mo Yu unleashed his strongest sword move, for everyone to witness.

Everyone felt as if they were enveloped in darkness.

Even Zhao Wuji and the other Martial Saints like him also felt this sensation at this time.

The difference was, they could sense the Sword Qi within the darkness...

This was how they differed from Zhu Linglong.

Zhu Linglong completely failed to locate where Mo Yu’s sword was, whereas Zhao Wuji, Zhu Jirong, and others could.

Similarly, Qin Qing could as well!

Qin Qing sensed this Sword Qi even quicker than Zhao Wuji, Zhu Jirong, and the others!

He had an understanding of the Sword Dao that went far beyond the ordinary.

At this moment, sensing Mo Yu’s Sword Qi, he slightly furrowed his brows.

Because he knew Zhu Linglong could not withstand this sword!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

Indeed.

In the next moment.

Around Zhu Linglong, the layers of Sword Qi barriers formed began to collapse, one after another.

A Sword Qi born from the darkness, like an edge that could shatter anything, destroyed all of Zhu Linglong’s Sword Qi.

In the end, Zhu Linglong’s Sword Qi completely dissipated.

The darkness that filled the world also finally dispersed, and everything returned to clarity.

At that time, everyone could see a transparent Flying Sword already hovering in front of Zhu Linglong’s brow.

Many disciples from the Wind-Fire Academy closed their eyes.

They seemed to foresee Zhu Linglong dying under this Flying Sword in the next breath.

"Die!"

Mo Yu’s lips moved slightly, as he quietly uttered this word.
