Reincarnation under the Saber!
What a brilliant and simple meaning this line carried! Whoever you were, however strong you might have been, reincarnate under this saber of mine!
Ling Xiaozui was shocked once again.
Logically, most of the pinnacle forces in this world would have prioritised some semblance of defense and kept only ten to twenty percent of their forces for a counterattack if they were to be met with the savage Upended River of Blood where crimson painted the entire vicinity.
Yet, Ling Xiaozui’s skill had allowed him to see through the style before he deflected it. Not only was an offense hidden in his defense, but his parry also was not wholly passive. Once his opponent’s attacks became predictable, Ling Xiaozui could launch an attack of his own, using the reserved buffer room and turn his defeat into a victory. It was a wonderful countermeasure.
In spite of such a brilliant countermeasure, it was still within the judgement of the Destiny Blade’s creator. Before the Upended River of Blood came to its end, a special whirlpool came into being and thus shaped a bizarre atmosphere that separated the two men.
It caused Ling Xiaozui’s subsequent move to be in vain. If he went on with his initial plan and launched a chase at this moment, he would fall into the strange energy field instead and be caught irrecoverable in the trap.
During the same instant when the energy field was formed, Yun Yang’s saber struck once again. It overturned the energy field and flowed into a new wave of offensive measures. The magical saber style was predicting the enemy’s every move – it was simply mystical!
By then, Ling Xiaozui concluded with his years of combat experience that it was barely possible for whoever facing this strike to escape it unscathed. One could only hope to escape based on their actual cultivation base.
Fighting persistently, however, meant facing an utterly strange and contradicting force field. How could one then perceive the attacker’s direction and destination of his blade that was manipulating the force field?
In reality, this was the danger of this style.
Ling Xiaozui let out a howl and spun rapidly. Being unable to parry the style did not mean he had to take it passively. Leveraging on his swiveling speed and intense sword energy, he formed sword mountain that securely defended himself.
This was the best method to rebuff the attack – using the most direct and secure defense. It was also the best way to parry the current strike. There was a precondition, however, that was the opponent must have a much higher cultivation base than the attacker.
Using an ultimate defense that was so passive, the depletion of cultivation base would be far more than that of his opponent’s. If both parties had an equal cultivation base, it was absolutely impossible to thoroughly parry this strike!
In simpler words, the defender was fighting solely based on his mightier power!
Dugu Chou, who was the spectator to this match, had his eyes rounded like saucers. Ling Xiaozui had fought this exchange with Yun Yang by suppressing his ability to one that was similarly on par with the latter, but he was already on the losing end within a few exchanges.
One must know that it had only been no more than four exchanges, but Ling Xiaozui had taken the chance to increase his level to manage the situation.

How could there be such magical saber truth in this world!

Dugu Chou was musing as he watched from the side. The clarity from the sidelines allowed him to put himself in Ling Xiaozui’s shoes. Were there other countermeasures other than Ling Xiaozui’s approach to rebut this strike? Upon contemplation, he had to admit that there was truly no second input. Other counterattacks would only put one in a worse state, accelerating one’s defeat.
Now that he had witnessed it personally, if he were to go up and face this strike promptly, he would actually make the same move without a second option to consider!

The saber style is really a wonder. If I hadn’t seen it personally, I’d never believe such divine trick – tricks!

Dugu Chou sighed as he watched and studied. Yun Yang’s saber styles were divine and contradictory – they were filled with impossibilities but it was due to this that they showcased a flawless perfection. After all, contradictories and impossibilities are absolute perfection!
His gaze trailed Yun Yang’s execution closely and the elder was surprised to realize that each form and style of the Destiny Blade contained a dozen to over twenty and more Qi circulation methods. The circulations were working on an illogical yet specific regularity.
If one or several methods were to be forced to circulate, the executor would die from his meridians exploding. There was simply no exception to this. In spite of this, the dozen to over twenty types of circulation created a uniquely delicate cycle; not only was it harmless, but it was also beneficial!
It was such a circulation that caused the style itself to multiply.

The one who created this saber truth mustn’t be a man!
Dugu Chou was filled with reverence.
He must be God!

Unless it was God’s wisdom and God’s realization, how could such flawless saber forms, that should not belong to the human realm, be created?
A soft clang signaled that Ling Xiaozui’s sword and Yun Yang’s saber had finally collided.
When the offense did not withdraw and the defense was thoroughly secure, the weapons must meet to decide the result by force!
Ling Xiaozui did not exert himself by force during the collision. He took three steps back as he waved his sword in a crisscross motion to protect himself. It was still a parry that attacked, despite being effectively defensive. He did not lose his edge, waiting to pounce anytime.
It was an unexpected event that Yun Yang leveraged on the collision and floated, traversing a hundred feet of distance. Then, the tip of his saber pointed downwards as the saber’s blade waved horizontally. It landed gracefully without any aggression, like the nine heaven’s wind that caressed the human realm silently.
If one had not paid attention to feel it, one would not be able to feel even the slightest breeze. Perhaps, it should be said that the breeze had already carried itself over mountains and rivers and the human world when one did not sense it.
The breeze had silently grazed the world. It was soft, but it was everywhere!

That’s right, this is – Wind Beyond the Sky!

Yun Yang’s clear voice rang out amidst the saber light, while Ling Xiaozui looked unprecedentedly concerned.
With a flick of his sword, the sword light that danced around the tip of the weapon surged like it was going all out when facing a formidable enemy, like it was unleashing its all!
Ling Xiaozui understood very well that despite the gentleness of the soft breeze that did not show any damaging power, it could actually transform into thunder and lightning or a violent storm at any time! The same issue remained that no one would not know when the wind would change; maybe it was the next moment, maybe whenever!
This was the gravest matter as there was no solution to it!
Ling Xiaozui could only continue his defensive bladework and protect himself. His sword flashed up and down, buzzing at the speed. Slashes were dealt out, building piles of sword mountains all over himself to assume multiple layers of defense.
