Novel Full Chapter 454
Chapter 454: Chapter 87 Innate Sword Heart, Capturing the Sword Heart Chapter 454: Chapter 87 Innate Sword Heart, Capturing the Sword Heart The next day, the White Jade Capital Secret Realm.
This time, the White Jade Capital’s top twelve were to be divided into “four grades,” namely supreme, high, intermediate, and low.
The supreme grade would be the top three positions, which would ultimately belong to Qiu Changtian, An Zhisu, and Ling Yunpo.
Since Ling Yunpo conceded defeat automatically, he would be among the top three, leaving Qiu Changtian and An Zhisu to battle for first place.
As for myself, facing An Zhisu this time, according to historical trajectory, I am supposed to “narrowly lose” to her.
To tell the truth, after much thought, Luo Yan knew it must be because he had gone easy on her.
If he hadn’t gone easy, couldn’t he just use the Five Elements Divine Light to crush An Zhisu?
My Jade Mansion, built from over seven hundred years of cultivation, is certainly not something that can be shaped like dough!
Putting Luo Yan aside for now, Shi Liuli had drawn Duan Fenhai.
After careful consideration and analysis by Luo Yan, he found that among the other five in the loser’s group, even Yan Zhitui was someone she couldn’t beat-after all, her advancement was through two rounds of byes, so it didn’t really matter who she drew.
Well, considering that Senior Brother Duan has always been unyielding against the weak, it seems Miss Shi’s fragile heart is in for another wound.
Never mind Miss Shi, after Qiu Changtian’s match was over, An Zhisu and Luo Yan went down to the arena.
By now, even the most uninformed disciples from the Orthodox Sect, like Noby Nobi, knew about the two hot contenders for the championship of this competition: Kunlun’s Qiu Changtian and Shushan’s An Zhisu.
As for Luo Yan, although he possessed the Five Elements Ultimate Extermination Divine Light, his fame still fell slightly short in comparison to the other two.

Mainly because everyone saw him obliterate Guan Zhan, but they did not clearly see how he did it…
What if Qiu Changtian and An Zhisu could also obliterate Guan Zhan?
Who would be stronger then?
In summary, everyone was eagerly looking forward to the competition, and so, as the two stepped down into the arena, people from Shushan and Penglai gathered their sword lights and moved closer to the White Jade Capital plaza.
At this moment, Ling Yunpo had not yet faced Xu Yinglian, so people were still unaware that just being a spectator on the sidelines could be quite dangerous.
An Zhisu stood across the arena, her hair simply tied in a bun at the back of her head, looking gallant and elegant as she bowed with clasped hands toward Luo Yan.
Luo Yan: ?
Hold on, Senior Sister An, weren’t you the one who argued against everything and everyone, showing no kindness to anyone except your own brothers and master?
Why are you suddenly being so courteous to me?
But here, Luo Yan had misunderstood; An Zhisu, although straightforward and outspoken, was not someone who took pleasure in verbally assaulting others.
Every time she scolded someone, it was because they said something that seemed to “injure Ling Yunpo.”
It was all out of protectiveness…
Regardless, since Senior Sister An had shown such courtesy, Luo Yan found no need to deliberately antagonize her, and simply returned the salute with clasped hands:
“Penglai’s Luo Yan is honored to exchange swordsmanship insights with Daoist An.”
Calling her “Daoist An” felt really awkward, far less natural than “Senior Sister An.”
An Zhisu responded expressionlessly:
“Shushan’s An Zhisu looks forward to learning from Daoist Luo’s excellent moves.”
Her demeanor, polite yet distant, caused Luo Yan to feel somewhat heartbroken.
An Zhisu, I resent you like a piece of wood!
So cold and indifferent, what am I to do with this debt you owe me here!
Having dramatized the moment in his mind, Luo Yan felt much better and raised the Huangting Kunwu Sword, keeping his left hand in the Heavenly Craft All-Purpose Bag, his right hand forming the sword technique, ready to unleash the Five Elements Ultimate Extermination Divine Light at any moment.
After all, the Master of Xuandu had said, he didn’t seek victory, but only that they performed to the best of their ability.
An Zhisu also quietly invoked the Flying Smoke and Harsh Cold Swords, but she didn’t rush to attack with all her might like Guan Zhan, she simply tested the waters by sending the Harsh Cold Sword forward.
On the spur of the moment, she wanted to test the follow-up of Luo Yan’s sword technique and see where that inexplicable sense of familiarity came from.
Luo Yan was also very familiar with An Zhisu’s fighting style, so he immediately manipulated the Huangting Kunwu Sword to meet her, and with his left hand, he drew a Magical Treasure from the Heavenly Craft Hundred Treasures Bag.
Oh, the Green Gang Divine Saber.
This saber was also a formidable offensive Magical Treasure.
It could rotate in accordance with its master’s will to attack the enemy; it could also act on its own to meet the Flying Sword with the saber, focusing on protecting its master.
To use it to block An Zhisu’s Two-Handed Sword Control Technique was indeed perfect.
In fact, besides enjoying jokes, most of the time, the Heavenly Craft Hundred Treasures Bag was quite reliable.
For example, when Guan Zhan was impetuous, the bag offered the defensive Jia Palace Smoke Gauze to wear down his sharpness;
But An Zhisu was brave and skilled in attacking.
Using the Jia Palace Smoke Gauze would only result in passively defending and being beaten, so the bag gave the Green Gang Divine Saber, which meant to let him counter-attack against the attack and vie with An Zhisu for the rhythm of the battlefield.
The Huangting Kunwu Sword withstood the attack of the Harsh Cold Sword.
Although the Harsh Cold Sword was light and agile, it was entirely unable to shake the defense of the exceedingly heavy Huangting Kunwu Sword.
The Azure Spirit Divine Saber quickly rose to meet the oncoming Flying Smoke Sword, clashing with it several times in mid-air, sparks flying and azure light swirling.
Luo Yan suddenly realized something was amiss because, at this point, Senior Sister An’s sword technique was far too gentle.
Gentle like the way one would feed moves to Ling Yunpo at regular times.
Recalling Senior Sister An’s first round against Kunlun’s Fayuan Zhi, that swift and furious swordsmanship made Luo Yan feel increasingly apprehensive.
Could it be that she’d noticed some unintentional clues?
Luo Yan secretly steeled his mind, knowing he couldn’t simply ask Senior Sister An outright, so he launched his attacks cautiously.
An Zhisu manipulated the twin swords, calmly entangling with him for a while, thinking to herself how the purely genuine East Sea Jade Coral Swordsmanship failed to reveal any distinctive style.
Was the earlier feeling a false perception?
Her mind moved slightly, and her fingers formed consecutive sword techniques, immediately elevating the speed of Harsh Cold and Flying Smoke.
???G?.??
Faced with Senior Sister An’s sudden increase in the pace of her attack, Luo Yan also hastened his speed, with the Huangting Kunwu Sword and Green Gang Divine Saber’s attacks becoming more ferocious.
Hm?
An Zhisu noticed something off again.
Troublesome to say, but it was unclear where exactly the discrepancy lay.
After all, she hadn’t had many encounters with Luo Yan before and didn’t know his style of swordsmanship.
Yet, An Zhisu always felt that Luo Yan’s way of fighting exuded a sense of déjà vu from the inside out.
But upon careful analysis, she couldn’t figure out where the familiarity lay.
The East Sea Jade Coral Sword was renowned for its agility, quite the opposite of the Seven Kills Sword Technique, which emphasized aggressive attacks.
And Luo Yan’s execution of the East Sea Jade Coral Sword was impeccably standard, without a hint of anything suspicious.
So where did that absurd sense of familiarity come from?
An Zhisu felt the urge to go mad, and she continued to quicken the pace with an expressionless face, trying to force Luo Yan into revealing a flaw.
But how well Luo Yan knew her!
Seeing her expressionless face, he immediately guessed that Senior Sister An must have realized something.
He also saw her continue to increase the frequency of her attacks, but the killing intent between each move did not grow, and where could he dare to continue this tangle with her?
His right hand quickly changed from sword technique to spell, swiftly urging the True Yuan from his Dantian.
Postnatal Five Elements Great Extermination Divine Light!
