Chapter 10: The Fall of the Heavenly Path

This is Yan Chengfeng's Ten Directions of Illusionary Destruction technique? Such a formidable martial art, only the blade intent of Guo Wushen, which annihilates all living beings, can withstand such divine powers for so long, and even break through various marvelous techniques one by one

Although Yan Chengfeng possesses astonishing divine skills, it is impossible for him to truly interfere with the operation of the heavens and stars. The extraordinary scene witnessed by everyone just now was not a real phenomenon, but rather an illusion generated in their minds, influenced by Yan Chengfeng's Ten Directions of Illusionary Destruction technique

The young man suddenly exclaimed in alarm and abruptly stepped behind the White Elephant King. At that moment, the White Elephant King was also in great distress and hurriedly shouted coldly, casually grabbing the young man and sending him flying backward. As the distance widened, the strange sights in the White Elephant King's eyes gradually faded, yet the more than ten people on the high platform appeared as if they were intoxicated, waving their arms and shouting wildly, and before long, they all collapsed weakly onto the ground

With a single stroke! It cleaves through heaven and earth!

The White Elephant King felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead, realizing that if it were not for his nearly divine martial arts, he would likely succumb to the illusionary dissolution of the ten directions, becoming intoxicated and entranced, his spirit in disarray, provoking his inner demons, ultimately leading to a frenzied dance to his demise

The Crown Prince was momentarily taken aback, his gaze revealing a sense of inquiry. This time, however, it was the White Elephant King who sighed softly and said, "If Yan Chengfeng were to achieve a complete victory, given his temperament, he would undoubtedly come to kill the three of us. Since he has not appeared, it means he will not appear again."

In that moment, the Wolf God Guo Kan seemed as if he were to be suppressed beneath the Five Elements Mountain like the Monkey King Sun Wukong by the Buddha, with the entire universe transforming into his enemy, intent on squeezing him within its grasp

The Master Fang glanced at the Crown Prince, suddenly smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness can rest assured, Yan Chengfeng will no longer appear after this battle."

Yan Chengfeng extended his right hand, and with a mere gesture, it seemed as if the entire universe was grasped by a single palm, and then it was drawn in.

Guo Kan grasped the long knife, and immediately, the sounds of countless giant beasts roaring erupted from his body. Yan Chengfeng laughed and shouted, "What a move, the Heaven-Slaying Knife Technique! Let me see if you can truly slay my heaven and cut down my path!"

The blade gleamed as if washed, directly piercing the human heart, seemingly transcending time and space, severing all distances in time and space between the two individuals

This strike is executed with utmost sincerity, devoid of self, devoid of others, devoid of heaven and earth

Guo Kan firmly grasped the handle of the long knife wrapped in dark green shark skin, and a blade rainbow that pierced through heaven and earth rose in his palm

Guo Kanfan not only dared not to underestimate him in the slightest, but was also unable to be distracted in his response. Yan Chengfeng's sword energy was a blend of illusion and reality, often manifesting as a sword strike that broke through the air without any tangible force, while another concealed sword energy lay in wait in the void, silent and unseen, yet contained a chilling lethal intent

As Yan Chengfeng's thoughts barely shifted, the flash of the blade was already imminent, as if even the act of breathing could summon this trace of unknown origin of the blade's intent

The Master Fang was about to express a few humble words, but the White Elephant Dharma King had no intention of engaging in such verbal pleasantries. He slightly bowed to the Crown Prince and then leisurely departed.

My Ten Directions of Illusionary Destruction technique consists of a total of eighteen lethal moves, and this move, which is merely superficial, is one of them. I wonder if the esteemed Guo Wushen can endure it well

The White Elephant King lowered his head and began to recite the Vajrayana exorcism scriptures. He had devoted his entire life to the study of Buddhist teachings, yet he remained uncertain whether there truly existed a Buddha in the world capable of performing such astonishing feats

Although the White Elephant Dharma King has fulfilled his wish, he appears pensive and contemplative. Having witnessed the earth-shattering battle between Yan Chengfeng and Guo Kan, he no longer cares much for this hollow fame. The leader of the Heavenly Buddha Sect slightly shakes his head and replies calmly: "In this world, without Yan Chengfeng and the Canglang Martial God Guo Kan, I may not necessarily be the number one under heaven. Not to mention the Red Turban Army's Bai Maitreya, even against you, Master Fang, I do not have complete confidence in my ability to win the battle."

With this strike, Yan Chengfeng reappeared in Guo Kan's "sight". This foremost master of the Han people smiled slightly, his demeanor still impressive, and called out: "The swordsmanship of the Canglang Martial God is indeed extraordinary, capable of breaking my move, 'Heavenly Carefree'! I shall see how you counter my next move, 'Nothing Outside the Heart'!"

The three remaining individuals looked up together, and the nameless town had completely vanished, leveled to the ground by an immense force, leaving not a single house or tree behind

The young man struggled to rise, his face still showing signs of fear. However, he was not an ordinary person; he managed to remain calm and commanded, "I will order the thirty thousand iron cavalry stationed nearby to launch an attack together, ensuring that Yan Chengfeng is kept here! Guo Wushen must not die, especially not at the hands of Yan Chengfeng. All information here must be kept confidential."

Faced with such a divine move, Guo Kan merely shouted: "Bring the knife!"

At this moment, Guo Kan and Yan Chengfeng finally revealed their astonishment, as Yan Chengfeng was actually able to evade his direct strike of the Heavenly Dao's blade intent. This extraordinary skill was simply astonishing, even surpassing Guo Kan's highest praise for Yan Chengfeng

The sword energy filled the sky like rain, compressing inch by inch, causing the defensive circle formed by Guo Kan's sword intent to shrink smaller and smaller. Just as the sword intent reached a certain point, Yan Chengfeng suddenly felt a surge of spirit, and the sword light underwent a transformation. At that moment, Guo Kan, having prepared for a long time, unleashed a shocking counterattack.

The foremost master among the Han people wielded his sword with effortless grace, the sword energy transforming into illusions. Guo Kan stood firm, using his palm as a blade to deliver dozens of strikes. However, as soon as the intent of the blade met the sword energy, the sword energy dissipated entirely, as if the previous momentum had been nothing but an illusion.

If he were to be slightly negligent, thinking that Yan Chengfeng's swordsmanship changes were limited to this, he would believe that this top Han expert would not mind the interchange of reality and illusion, allowing him to suffer a small loss, or even directly take his life.

The Crown Prince immediately displayed an expression of ecstatic joy, his demeanor and poise returning to their usual ease. He reached out to support the White Elephant Dharma King and said with a smile, "I must congratulate you, Dharma King, for from now on, you shall be the number one person in the world. Among all martial artists, no one will surpass your elegance."

The young man immediately displayed a look of horror

A long, narrow blade, entirely a vibrant blue, resembling a long sword that emerges suddenly from the ground like a pool of autumn water

Even though Yan Chengfeng's technique of the Ten Directions Illusionary Destruction has almost transcended the realm of martial arts, Guo Kan, after missing the movements of this formidable enemy, did not exhibit any panic. He simply performed a very straightforward action: sheathed his sword and then drew it again

The national master of the Yuan Dynasty did not consider the consequences that would arise from the astonishing battle he had painstakingly planned, nor how to respond to each of them. Instead, he found himself reminiscing about a saying his master, Bansiba, had once told him: "You have not yet resolved your worldly desires; in the future, you will not be able to become a Buddha"

At that moment, a gloomy voice beside him said: "Guo Wushen is finished"

My heart is like a knife, impervious to all! On what basis do you claim that there is nothing outside your heart, and how can you possibly accommodate my intent of the knife?

At that moment, an unforgettable spectacle suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes: the sun and moon rose together in the sky, day and night alternated, and the wondrous and magnificent scene even surpassed the natural beauty of heaven and earth

The expressions of the crowd on the high platform changed dramatically, as the two great masters of Han and Mongol engaged in fierce combat. In just three exchanges, each move exceeded the limits of their imagination, and they had never even considered that martial arts could be cultivated to such a level

In the face of this terrifying blow that could frighten even the gods, Yan Chengfeng let out a long, carefree howl, and suddenly, he seemed to "disappear." In Guo Kan's eyes, this formidable enemy, who was a matter of life and death, had actually vanished, as if he had mastered the art of invisibility.

This young man is extremely decisive, issuing a series of commands with cold-blooded ruthlessness and astonishing intensity. However, the Master Fang, who just spoke, lamented: "Crown Prince! It would be best if you refrained from engaging in such unnecessary actions. Look at that small town..."

Guo Kan's martial arts cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm, and he certainly understood that there were no magical spells in the world. Yan Chengfeng was able to achieve this only because this great Han master had employed some means to conceal his presence beneath the seal of his sword intent, rather than truly rendering his formidable body invisible.

Yan Chengfeng focused his mind and urged the sword energy, continuously transforming the nine killing moves of Guo Kankan, and only then did he seize the opportunity to counterattack

Master Fang also smiled slightly, raised his hand in a gesture of respect, and expressed his congratulations

A sense of desolate sorrow from the blade and a sword energy that fills the heavens and the earth, sweeping across the eight directions, reunite once more. It seems as though the space between heaven and earth is filled with the essence of blades and swords, with the sound of countless clashes of metal ringing out incessantly
