Chapter 2092 - 2093: Flying Sword

Ling Zhenfei said, "Even if you're just one year older, you're still considered an elder. My parents taught me from a young age to respect my elders. You go first, or else my dad will scold me when I go back."

Ling Zhenfei was merely saying this offhandedly, since his dad had been dead for many years.

Liu Feiyang said, "Alright, alright, then I apologize for offending you."

Although his words were polite, when Liu Feiyang moved, he was not polite at all.

Suddenly, the sword in Liu Feiyang's scabbard flew out like it was shot, rushing towards Ling Zhenfei.

This sword strike was the same as the one that had just broken through Ling Zhenfei's spiritual energy.

It seemed like there was no strong spiritual energy on it, as if there was a very large space within the sword, where the energy was hidden inside.

Or, the spiritual energy was attached to the sword in a way that was so precise it did not let any excess energy dissipate, making it hard for others to sense its presence.

But Ling Zhenfei knew the power behind this sword was immense. He originally thought that was it, but as the sword flew closer, he suddenly felt the spiritual energy emerge.

This energy was not only present but exceedingly powerful, to an unmatched degree.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked; he really had no idea how this technique was accomplished, it was very deceptive. If he had reacted a little slower, he might have been fooled.

Ling Zhenfei utilized the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades, storing a significant amount of spiritual energy using Iaido, and drew the sword, filled with formidable energy.

The Iaido's speed was due in part to the spiritual energy stored in the scabbard.

Ling Zhenfei had stored a lot of energy, and at the perfect moment, swung the sword towards Liu Feiyang's strike.

The energy from Iaido just happened to collide with that very strong spiritual energy.

Boom!

The sound of vibrating spiritual energy echoed; both energies were extremely powerful as they clashed together.

If someone with lesser skill faced this spiritual energy strike from Liu Feiyang, it would be enough to defeat them.

But this was only the beginning; Liu Feiyang's energy was upfront, merely to pave the way. The sword behind was the real killer move.

In the midst of the collision of these two energies, the sword shot straight at Ling Zhenfei from the spiritual energy.

Moreover, as it passed through this energy, possibly due to its effect, the sword's speed increased significantly.

The sword aimed directly at Ling Zhenfei's chest.

Ling Zhenfei had just released a blast of energy, only to realize afterward that the sword was the actual killer move, but it was too late to dodge.

In his shock, Ling Zhenfei didn't dare hesitate and quickly employed the Boundless Blade Technique.

The Guardian Character Decision of the Boundless Blade Technique, using its exquisite techniques to defuse Liu Feiyang's strike.

Liu Feiyang's sword attack was peculiar in speed, but Ling Zhenfei's Boundless Blade Technique contained spiritual energy of varying depths, sometimes more, sometimes less, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.

Like an arrow shot into very turbid water, its speed naturally slowed down, maybe even got floated up by things in the water.

The Guardian Character Decision of the Boundless Blade Technique uses this method.

The sword was immensely powerful, but previously its spiritual energy had been expended, so it lacked strong energy, which gave Ling Zhenfei the chance to block this move.

Under Ling Zhenfei's Guardian Character Decision, the sword slowed distinctly, even giving the feeling of suddenly stopping within the technique.

Liu Feiyang had great confidence in this move, hoping to use it to defeat Ling Zhenfei outright.

He had used this move to defeat countless high-level cultivators when he was in the Dawen Realm.

Now, his power had reached the Pursue Heart State, naturally mastering spiritual energy control to an exceptional degree.

Thus, he was confident of defeating Ling Zhenfei, but seeing this scene now, he was quite surprised, never expecting Ling Zhenfei could block this move.

With a thought, Liu Feiyang's sword, controlled by Ling Zhenfei's Boundless Blade Technique, instantly flew into the air, then attacked Ling Zhenfei with incredible speed.

Although human and foreign race cultivators have different cultivation philosophies, humans focus just on spiritual energy, not using it to strengthen the body.

However, during cultivation, spiritual energy greatly enhances the body, making it extraordinarily resilient.

Human cultivators primarily focus on cultivating spiritual energy, using it to control weapons or techniques.

Some cultivators wield weapons or fists to launch spiritual energy attacks, direct and raw, simply needing to overwhelm the opponent spiritually.

If the opponent is willing to compete in spiritual energy, victory is assured.

Most notably, Ling Zhenfei's Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists operate that way; if anyone competes with him in spiritual energy, Ling Zhenfei has a massive chance of winning.

Another method is embedding spiritual energy into one's techniques, making them highly flexible and heavily charged with energy.

Like the Boundless Blade Technique, its transformations are derived from text, unpredictable, making it hard for opponents to find flaws.

The spiritual energy it carries is also unpredictable, enabling the Boundless Blade Technique to balance offense and defense.

Liu Feiyang and Ling Zhenfei are similar, having immense power, hence their spiritual energy is naturally strong.

But as a Sword God, Liu Feiyang has his insights into wielding techniques related to his sword.

Liu Feiyang's sword returns, despite him being far away, under his control, it's as if he's wielding the sword directly.

Speed, tremendous speed, is one of its characteristics.

The saying "In Martial Arts, only speed cannot be surpassed" holds true; no matter how strong the opponent's spiritual energy is, if your attack is fast enough, they won't even have time to use their energy.

In other words, among high-level cultivators, those who attack using techniques are much stronger than those who attack using spiritual energy.

Primarily, spiritual energy attacks have many constraints, only possible if your power exceeds the opponent's, potentially coercing them into comparing energies.

Facing a stronger opponent, or one with similar skills, they can avoid energy comparisons and continuously evade, exhausting your energy.

Using energy to attack consumes a lot, so once depleted, defeat is inevitable.

Moreover, those attacking with techniques can still use spiritual energy.

Attacking with techniques includes spiritual energy but with less consumption, allowing continuous attacks.

If a spiritual energy-based cultivator battles a technique-based one, the latter can exploit their successive techniques to hinder continuous energy attacks from the former.
