Ye Haoran’s exposed right hand continued to flick with a murderous rhythm .
He silently watched as Ding Ning’s robes soaked in blood . He sensed that Ding Ning’s determination surpassed his expectations and felt some admiration . Then his fingers suddenly shook . Accompanying this move, the hiltless small white sword behind Ding Ning shone brighter, and a strange white mist appeared around it .
As the small white sword danced around Ding Ning, the mist around Ding Ning grew thicker and thicker .
Seeing the white mist form, almost all the cultivation teachers frowned deeply .
This was the most orthodox Mount Wu Cloud and Rain Art, one from the Chu Dynasty . This flying sword art created white mist that would drag on Ding Ning when he attacked, and cause him to use more power .
Previously, they had all kinds of ideas . Many people did not want Ding Ning to win, but right now, they all wanted Ding Ning to win .
Ding Ning was of the Qin .
Jin Liuli’s frown deepened .
Of course she did not feel that Ding Ning was certain to lose . He definitely had a purpose for carrying those wooden swords . Even now, he had not touched those wooden swords . This meant he had not used his full power .
But she could not understand what Ding Ning was waiting for . The wounds were small, but when numerous wounds bled together, one’s blood would quickly run out .
An amused smile started to appear on Ye Haoran’s lips . He too did not understand what Ding Ning was waiting for . In his view, no matter what he was waiting for, this was just futilely adding more pain before death .
He looked up into the dark sky .
The flying white sword in the mist grew harsher in its humming . As it flew by Ding Ning’s body, it did not just bring drops of blood, but also flesh .

Geng Ren narrowed his eyes .
He had experienced many cruel escapes cultivators could not imagine . Adding on his studies onto cultivator’s bodies, he knew better than anyone present what response a cultivator’s body would have when they lost a certain amount of blood . He knew that while Ding Ning appeared clear-minded now, if he was an ordinary cultivator, his consciousness should be blurry .
This was related to one’s willpower . When one was so willful, they could forget their own bodies and cause their bodies to have extraordinary power . But Geng Ren knew the consequences of going against common sense… when a body stayed too long outside its limits, it would completely go out of control, one’s consciousness would not slowly blur .
When the moment came, the concsiousness would snap .
It is about time .
Lin Suixin had seen many cultivators with more serious wounds . So his face had remained expressionless even though Ding Ning had numerous small wounds on his body . Yet, a few moments after Geng Ren narrowed his eyes, he frowned .
At this moment, Ding Ning had started to feel really dizzy . His consciousness seemed like it would fly out of his body into the air .
And yet, his mind was still calm for he had experience even Geng Ren could not imagine .
He knew he still had a few dozens breaths of time left . His left hand reached back and grabbed the crude hilt of a wooden sword .
Uncontrolled gasps sounded .
Nothing had happened . Everyone only saw Ding Ning’s hand fall back to grip a wooden sword . Yet, everyone knew that something stunning would occur in the next moment .
This premonition caused many people to feel shock in advance .
Ding Ning steadily swung his sword .

With a woosh, the wooden sword charged out, a seal line in the middle of the blade bringing out an unique green sword light .
Ding Ning’s swing was strange, in that he released his hand and let the sword fly out along his swing .
After this first sword were many more .
All of the gasps faded because everyone fell into stronger shock .
Ding Ning usually wielded his sword with his right hand, but at this moment, his left hand seemed faster than his right .
His left hand appeared to have disappeared into the air, but it was still constantly swinging at a perfect rhythm .
All of the wooden swords he carried were thrown out in a flash . Even more importantly, the Last Flower remnant sword in his right hand accurately parried the attacking flying sword .
Everyone saw any illusion .
It was not a youth who had not learned the sword for less than a year, but a grandmaster of a hundred years who had practiced this sword move his entire life in order to turn this sword move into a physical response .
Dugu Bai’s breathing completely stopped .
This sword move and the paths were in his mind so he could see more clearly than everyone else .
He saw many green rays fly out from Ding Ning’s back, forming a green screen .
This was an indescribably beautiful green screen of light . Yet, as it expanded outwards, the screen instantly disappeared . All of the wooden swords split from the seal line, torn apart by the great power into flying threads of wood .

The green light in the seal script did not disappear, connecting together into a true sword light .
This sword light moved parallel to the ground in an absolutely straight path . It seemed to separate the upper and lower parts of space as it silently swept towards Ye Haoran .
Dugu Bai knew that this was the true Peacock Green .
Ye Haoran frowned deeply . He discovered he did not have the time to recall his flying sword to block this powerful and profound move .
His eyes immediately turned crystal, his body rumbling inside as though new worlds were forming .
A new passageway appeared among his many meridians, sucking in the primal energies of the universe of his energy before the energies were vented out of the body along this passageway .
Fortunately, he had another sword .
The sword at his waist buzzed . It was about six feet in length, and just two finger widths wide . The spine was a rare sky blue, while the edges were transparent . The sword jumped out of the scabbard into his hand .
Minute energy flows spat out of the blade . Crystal clear dust sprayed out of the semi-transparent blade and formed a crystal round disk in front of him .
Boom!
Dust billowed out of him . The crystal disk was shattered by the straight green sword light . Fragmented crystal dust shot everywhere, and snapped as it backlashed onto his body .
Droplets of blood came out of Ye Haoran’s body . The momentum caused him to fly backwards into the air .
Despite watching the scene, Ding Ning felt no joy . He knew this attack was not sufficient to defeat Ye Haoran and there was not much time left for him .
He took a deep breath .
A profound and cold presence appeared around his body . A hollow presence came out of his body, and then quickly disappeared . His body emanated true cold .
A visible white mist formed around him and sprayed outwards, like a lake forming ice, but not completely so the ice floated on the surface .
Threads of red energy appeared clearly among the ice .
“Blood Fiend Demon Art!”
“How does he know that!”
While most were already shocked numb, many could not control their emotions and shouted out loud .
Yantai Guanjian’s eyes were wide as his pupils contracted . He felt he saw something incomprehensible .
So this is how it is?
Jin Liuli thought inside . Since she thought Ding Ning was stronger than her, she felt anything was possible .
Ye Haoran’s expression froze . His look of disdain disappeared completely .
In this moment, he also took a deep breath and then lifted his hand . He did not recall his flying sword .
The white hiltless small sword had fallen close to the ground . But new power was poured into it, and it screamed as it shot at the center of Ding Ning’s back .
