387: Heavenly Sword, Absolute Sword, its intent stirs the nine heavens!

The moment the words fell, two figures moved at the same time!

No testing, no holding back! The two brothers, from the very first Move, were giving it their all!

"One Sword Across the Sky!"

The hero sword in Mu Yingxiong's hand transformed into a shrill, cold light that tore through the world; his Sword Intent was filled with the resolve to sever all bonds and extinguish the seven emotions and six desires.

This strike was not just meant to sever his opponent's life force, but to sever that so-called brotherly bond; in this battle, there were only opponents, no emotions.

Facing this sharp, peerless strike filled with a will of destruction, Wuming's eyes remained calm, and the hero sword in his hand swept out leisurely, without a trace of worldly Aura.

"Heavenly Sword · Guarding the Heart!"

The sword momentum was harmonious and complete, like a seal closing off; a round, flawless wheel of Sword Intent, seemingly containing countless sword lights, instantly appeared before him.

"Clang—!!!" A deafening sound of metal clashing rang through the martial arts arena!

The Absolute Sword's destructive light slashed fiercely onto the Guarding the Heart sword wheel, erupting with brilliant radiance and violent waves of Qi, instantly carving countless deep ravines into the surrounding ground!

With the first strike failing, Mu Yingxiong's sword momentum shifted again, and his figure closed the distance!

"I Alone Am Heaven!"

The Sword Intent was supreme; the hero sword carried a tyrannical will to judge all things and embody the Heavenly Dao itself, stabbing straight at Wuming's chest, intending to forcefully break through that seemingly perfect defense!

Wuming's footwork was mysterious, his body shifted slightly, and he guided the hero sword along its momentum.

"Unexplained Sword Technique · Unexplainable!"

The path of the sword was strange and unpredictable, finding a glimmer of life in the impossible; it precisely tapped the node where Mu Yingxiong's sword momentum was about to be unleashed, diverting his tyrannical strike into the empty air.

"Hmph! Let's see how long you can deflect it! Sword Crosses the Maze!"

Mu Yingxiong's sword momentum suddenly became ethereal and hard to track; the sword light flickered as if it could reflect the weaknesses of the human heart, pointing directly at the slight fluctuation in Wuming's state of mind caused by their brotherly conflict, intending to ferry him into the "Absolute" Dao!

Wuming took a deep breath, a flash of compassion passing through his eyes, yet his Sword Intent grew increasingly firm.

"Unexplained Sorrow!"

The hero sword let out a mournful cry, its light shrill as if weeping, containing the extreme sorrow and pain of a life half-spent in hardship and the loss of close friends, yet within this extreme sorrow, it erupted with a decisive power that could tear through everything! Using emotion to break through delusions, using sorrow to overcome the Absolute!

"Boom!" The two swords collided violently again. This time, Wuming's figure swayed slightly, while Mu Yingxiong was forced back half a step! That extreme, sorrowful Sword Intent had actually faintly suppressed his Emotionless and absolute "Sword Crosses the Maze"!

"Good! Now this is interesting!" Mu Yingxiong laughed instead of getting angry, his Battle Intent burning even hotter! He let out a long shout, his Sword Intent rising layer by layer!

"Heroes Rise Everywhere! Sword Proudly Above All Heroes!"

In an instant, the sword light divided, like thousands of troops and horses galloping out; every streak of sword light carried immense power, sweeping toward Wuming from all directions, intending to completely submerge him!

Wuming's expression was solemn; he pushed his Heavenly Sword Sword Intent to its Peak, merging person and sword into one.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!"

This was not a Move, but a triggering of the Realm! The Void Realm around him seemed to transform into a Domain of swords; countless Sword Qi manifested on their own, like a vast river, meeting the Absolute Swords filling the sky!

"Cling clang—!!!" The dense, rain-like sounds of collision merged into one; countless Sword Qi collided and annihilated each other, painting the sky above the martial arts arena into an ocean of Sword Qi!

The scattered sword energy carved the ground into a riddled mess; the onlookers all retreated in shock, exerting their full power to defend themselves.

Before the dust had settled, Mu Yingxiong launched another Move!

"Heroes Cannot Be Found!"

The Sword Intent was desolate, as if there were no true heroes left in the world, only the long sword in hand as a companion; in the loneliness lay a resolve to destroy everything!

"Qi Surges Through Mountains and Rivers!"

The Sword Qi invoked the power of the earth's veins and mountains, heavy and majestic, rolling in like a massive flood to crush everything in its path!

"Killing Sword Returns Emotion!"

The sword Move was ruthless and Emotionless, striking straight at vital points, yet at the end of the sword momentum, it contained an indescribable, complex emotion that disrupted the mind!

Wuming used the Heavenly Sword Realm and the Unexplained Sword Technique alternately; at times using "Concealing Name and Identity" to resolve the desolation, at times using "Reputation Well-Earned" to hard-counter the mountain-and-river momentum, and at other times using the sharp spirit of "One Sword Brings Fame" to break through those mind-disrupting "threads of emotion"!

Their figures flashed and intertwined rapidly in the air, sword lights crisscrossing; every collision erupted with a deafening roar.

From the ground to mid-air, the Sword Qi tore through the clouds, and sunlight spilled through the gaps, illuminating a sword duel for the ages!

Their Aura grew stronger the more they fought, and their Sword Intent became increasingly sharp and exposed.

Absolute Sword Intent, Heavenly Sword Intent! Two swords clashed, their intent moving the Nine Heavens.

"Ten Thousand Swords Hide Their Edge!"

Unable to win after a long attack, Mu Yingxiong's sword momentum suddenly turned inward; all the violent Sword Intent was fully contained within the hero sword. The sword body became plain and unadorned, yet it radiated a terrifying fluctuation that was heart-palpitating!

Wuming's pupils constricted slightly, sensing an extreme threat.

He likewise condensed his own Sword Intent; the hero sword let out a low hum, ready to strike.

"Heaven and Earth Both Absolute, Ten Thousand Swords Both Sorrowful!"

Mu Yingxiong finally unleashed this strike of ultimate absolute and ultimate sorrow!

The Sword Intent infected the world, invoking the sorrow of all living beings; before the sword even arrived, an indescribable desolation and despair had already enveloped the entire arena. Many Disciples with weak wills could not help but shed tears, drawing their swords to commit suicide.

They were stopped by Lu Jiuyuan.

Facing this terrifying strike that pierced straight to the Soul, a flash of excitement crossed Wuming's eyes.

"The Heavenly Sword is not a sword; the human heart replaces Heaven! My heart is the Heavenly heart, my intent is the Heavenly intent! This is the Heavenly Sword!"

He spoke aloud, and the hero sword slowly thrust forward; this strike pierced through delusions and reflected the true heart.

"Hum—!" Under the gaze of everyone, the tips of the two hero swords gently touched each other.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Mu Yingxiong's terrifying Sword Intent, which had invoked the sorrow of Heaven and Earth, the moment it touched Wuming's sword tip, melted like ice and snow, silently dissolved and absorbed by that clear, all-encompassing, and resilient Sword Intent.

Two completely opposite, yet equally reaching the pinnacle of the human world, Sword Intents—Mu Yingxiong's "Absolute," which severed everything and stood alone, and Wuming's "Heaven," which encompassed all things and acted as Heaven's punishment—did not dissipate in their extreme collision and fusion; instead, it was as if they had touched some ancient node existing in the netherworld!

"Hum—!!!" A humming sound, far more grand and ancient than any previous collision, as if coming from eons ago, exploded from the contact point of the two hero swords!

This sound did not ring in the ears, but vibrated directly into the deep Soul of everyone who possessed a Sword Heart and practiced the Dao of the sword!

In an instant, the winds and clouds changed color! It was not a simple change in weather, but the "rules" of the entire world seemed to be twisting and reorganizing!

With Wuming and Mu Yingxiong as the center, the Sword Intent surging to the extreme around them no longer spread outward, but instead frantically collapsed and condensed inward!

The Absolute Sword's destructive light and the Heavenly Sword's vast, clear brilliance intertwined and entangled, forming a huge, constantly rotating vortex of Sword Intent!

At the center of the vortex, space rippled and twisted violently like water waves, and finally—

"Chi la—!!!" A loud sound as if cloth had been forcibly torn!

The space at the center of the Sword Intent vortex was forcefully torn open by the two extreme Sword Intents, creating a huge, irregular gap!
