Chapter 919: Chapter 567: Heaven-Encompassing Sword, Demons Stir in Yan Province! (Double Chapter)

"Sword Array..." Xin Yan stepped forward voluntarily.

She had witnessed Sword Arrays before, but the one set up by Song Changming was particularly special, unlike any she had seen in the past.

Song Changming’s Sword Array was based on his own mastery of Talisman Arrays, specifically crafted by him.

An ordinary Sword Array might focus on the sword primarily, with the array being secondary.

But Song Changming prioritized the array, with the sword secondary.

There were quite significant differences in the details between them.

Xin Yan voluntarily entered the array, wanting to experience and challenge this unique Sword Array created by Song Changming.

As soon as she stepped into the array, the surroundings transformed abruptly.

Sometimes the sky and earth flipped, sometimes the sun and moon alternated, with lightning and thunder, phenomena brought by the ’array effect,’ which could firmly lock the entrant within, with no escape.

Immediately, seventy-two Flying Swords showed their killing intent.

The unique Sword Intent was continuously aroused, forming a combined attack from the Sword Array against Xin Yan within.

Among the Human Race, few Martial Artists knew of Song Changming’s mastery of Sword Arrays.

After all, Song Changming had so many remarkable combat techniques, that his Sword Array could only be considered a skill derived from his advanced Talisman Tao.

Compared to the hundred-foot giant ’Human King Statue,’ or the world-annihilating Swordsmanship, even the terrifying power that could move mountains and fill seas, this Sword Array wasn’t particularly noticeable.

But in fact, this improved version of the Sword Array by Song Changming had almost reached the Level Seven Extreme, strong enough that an ordinary Late stage Grandmaster would surely suffer if they ventured in rashly!

Even on the battlefield in Lei Province, this Celestial Spirit Sword Array once transformed into a meat grinder, exterminating countless Demon Race armies, and was infamous at the time, a nightmare for many Demons.

Upon entering the array, Xin Yan had no choice but to perform her Ancient Sword Tao Skill!

The Heaven-Encompassing Sword in ancient times, though not as renowned as the Taijia Saber as the world’s best, was still a powerful Ancient Sword Technique known far and wide!

"Hmm!" Song Changming looked up towards the top of the Sword Array.

As Xin Yan performed the Ancient Sword Technique, vast amounts of Spiritual Qi began to surge, integrating into Xin Yan’s Sword Momentum.

The Sword Intent exhibited by Xin Yan wasn’t sharp or fierce, but rather, it possessed a majestic and comprehensive sense encapsulating heaven and earth.

One sword creating a tempest, two swords shaking heaven and earth!

No matter how Song Changming’s Sword Array intensifies its killing intent, she remained unharmed within the array.

With Sword Control, she broke the strikes and moved freely.

It must be said, this woman indeed possessed an extraordinary level of understanding far beyond her age in the Sword Tao Domain.

Song Changming quickly realized that this powerful Sword Array of his couldn’t overcome this woman; her breaking of the array was inevitable.

Sure enough, in just the time it takes for tea, Xin Yan broke out of the array with overwhelming Spiritual Qi, surrounded by a divine glow, akin to a celestial being descending to the mortal world.

"Miss Xin Yan, what remarkable skill! I’m merely tinkering in trivial skills," Song Changming said with a carefree smile, withdrawing his seventy-two Flying Swords at the appropriate moment.

Having observed the Ancient Sword Technique, he found no need to continue exchanging blows.

Compared to Sword Tao, he mastered the Taijia Saber, surpassing Tong Zhige, but in the Sword Dao Domain, he couldn’t compete with this inheritor of Ancient Sword Techniques.

By experiencing both Ancient Martial Arts, the dual mastery of sword and saber, Song Changming gained considerable insight.

The unique Martial Arts atmosphere absolutely contained more than just the Silence Intent of his Silent Saber.

"The past glory of Martial Tao must have been fascinating..." Song Changming suddenly felt within.

Presently, Ancient Martial Arts are rarely seen, but in ancient times, when the Human Race ruled the Nine Provinces, during the peak of Martial Tao, the arts flourished, and the masters and sects constantly emerged.

In contrast, today, genuine masters of complete Martial Arts are few, mostly possessing fragmented Martial Arts.

The decline of Martial Tao is an inevitable trend for the Human Race, unable to be reversed, and Song Changming can only strive to enhance his personal power in such an environment.

As for whether the Human Race can regain its glory, that remains unknown.

"Marshal Song, versed in all eighteen martial skills, is indeed too humble," Xin Yan earnestly remarked.

She understood even if she could break Song Changming’s Sword Array, it didn’t mean she had defeated him, which was nothing to be joyous about.

Instead, experiencing Song Changming’s Sword Array gave her much inspiration.

Sword Arrays are rare, but they are a part of the Sword Dao. Perhaps she could use her Heaven-Encompassing Sword Technique as the foundation to create her own Sword Array, enhancing her strength and supplementing her combat techniques!

If she merely adheres to the predecessors’ singular Sword Technique, lacking innovation, her potential will be limited.

Xin Yan is not easily satisfied; she doesn’t want her future Martial Path to be confined to a single Sword Technique but aims to grow stronger on this foundation!

Especially after seeing Song Changming today, her resolve was strengthened.

She doesn’t aim to be a second mentor but to become a better version of herself!

Of course, these passionate emotions and thoughts weren’t displayed; she remained outwardly calm.

"The appearance of you two is our Human Race’s fortune; in the future battle against the Demon Race, I’ll rely on you two!" Emperor Yun was quite pleased and valued the performances of the two inheritors of Ancient Martial Arts, offering encouragement.

You cannot expect everyone to be as powerful as the extraordinary Song Changming...

Indeed, without comparing to Song Changming, these two, at their current age, possess talents that are unmatched through history, surpassing many Grandmaster Powerhouses of older generations.
