Chapter 577: Undaunted Sapphire Blaze Cleaver!
Ye Jin and a few other disciples of the Frozen Cloud sect that had been fortunate enough to see their Patriarch teach himself, knew of his techniques. Or at the very least, they had seen them being used.
The patriarch of the Frozen Cloud Sect, Patriarch Bing was considered to be a genius among his generation. When he was still an inner court disciple he had already started to make his mark and had gathered a lot of merits for the sect.
His progress only increased exponentially and it barely took him two centuries after that to become the patriarch of the Frozen Cloud sect. He was officially the eleventh patriarch of the sect and was considered to be the Second strongest patriarch in all of the Frozen Cloud sect.
He had learned the sect’s techniques thoroughly and had even mastered the Forbidden Frost scripture which was consider to be a top level technique that was restricted only to a few people of the sect.
And even in that, he had managed to comprehend his own variations of it and had made a few that were now learned and practiced by the junior disciples, all the way from the outer court disciples to the core disciples.
But the most well known was his signature skill in the Forbidden Frost Scripture, the Tearing Blizzard. It was something no one else knew and neither had he taught it to anyone else.
It was one of the few techniques that had no records in the sect and were a matter of pride for the patriarch.
Yet here there was an anomaly. Ye Jin and Wang Xiong got to see a second person use the very same technique. This was astounding to them and they could not understand how the man had gotten hold of the technique.
~SHUA~
A strong wind blew out from Guardian Yun’s hand which was filled with bitter cold. The moment it came out, it turned white as the ice and snow filled it. The air was sharp as if it would cut apart anything that it touched and freeze it solid.
Such was the technique called Tearing Blizzard.
Lin Wu though was able to handle it right now. The fire that surrounded him protected him from the cold and nullified it before it even reached him. The wind provided the defense and the heat provided the neutralization property.
This was rather confusing to Guardian Yun as he glanced at the very strong technique being unable to do much.
“It is not fire spirit Qi… the tearing blizzard can easily snuff out any fire like that. Just what technique is it? The wind attribute spirit Qi seems to be the driving force behind it.” Guardian Yun muttered to himself.
Wang Xiong had seen Guardian Yun enough to know that he was a rather eccentric person. He always felt uncomfortable around the man and was always on his guard. But he knew that Guardian Yun wouldn’t do anything wrong.
But now he wasn’t so sure anymore.
“Why is he doing this?” Ye Jin couldn’t help but question.
“I don’t know… only him and Senior knows now. It’s best if we stay out of it, we cannot interfere on their level.” Wang Xiong answered.
~gulp~
Ye Jin swallowed down the fear for the time being and retreated as far as she could along with Wang Xiong. Only when they reached the very opposite end of the area did they stop and take a look at the battle.
~BOOM~
It was then that a sudden explosion happened. The bright light forced Wang Xiong and Ye Jin to close their eyes as a gust of hot air flowing over their faces. The air was hot enough that if it were any commoner, they would have probably gotten first or second degree burns.
But thankfully Wang Xiong and Ye Jin were not commoners and could easily handle something like this.
“Time for my counter attack now!” Lin Wu’s voice could be heard.
Wang Xiong peeked out from behind his fingers and saw Lin Wu’s body that had changed its form. His long body was curved like a ‘J’ and his head was at the bottom. His tail though was pointed to the sky.
It looked like a hundred meter tall broad sword that had a glowing blue edge. There were fiery sparks jumping out of the tip and more fire orbs were appearing at its back. The sword only had one edge with the other one being thick and flat.
~WHOOSH~
The blue glow of the sword edge started to glow like water and it looked surreal. On the other hand, the fire orbs that were attached to the other side of the sword were swirling and gathering more spirit Qi from the air.
“This… at this rate he’ll drain all the spirit Qi in the area!” Wang Xiong exclaimed.
The spirit Qi was being absorbed by his entire body and split into two parts going to the two sides of the sword.
~weeng~weeng~weeng~
A strange crying sound seemed to be coming from the back of the sword as the fire orbs suddenly split apart.
~BOOM~
“Take this!” Lin Wu yelled.
‘Undaunted Sapphire Blaze Cleaver’
This was the name that Lin Wu had given to the new technique he had made after his breakthrough. It combined all the new upgrades to his skills that he had gotten and imbued into one.
While he could turn into several weapon forms, this was the easiest way of using them for now.
Undaunted Sapphire Body art!
Immortal Sky Shaker Art!
Radiation Manipulation!
Qi Amplification!
Cellular Crystallization!
Cellular Manipulation!
Sound Command!
All these skills combined and turned into the current attack. Each provided a different effect that worked in synergy with the other. Though the Sound Command was the most hidden of them all.
Its function was important yet easy to miss. It simply hid and diffused the sound of the attack when used.
Guardian Yun’s eyes went wide as he quickly turned to his back.
~SHING~
Even though Guardian Yun could see the attack in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy. And when the sound came from his back, he realized that it was a trick.
