After Cheng Buyou thrust his sword, it seemed as if three immortals simultaneously spun out three swords, each directly targeting Ding Ling's vital points.

It was clearly a single sword.

Yet, in that instant.

It seemed to produce countless sword shadows.

Within these shadows lay three tangible sword bodies, each hiding a sharp sword edge aimed to stab, slice, or chop Ding Ling's neck, waist, and back.

Such Sword Skill was truly a rare Superior Swordsmanship.

Cheng Buyou had clearly trained to the Flawless Innate Ability level.

His execution was exquisite, with a hidden murderous intent.

After thrusting his sword, he saw that Ding Ling didn't react and couldn't help but laugh heartily, thinking that Ding Ling, this Sword Dao genius, was merely so-so.

However.

In the next instant.

As Ding Ling shook his sword tip, he softly uttered three words, "Breaking Sword Form"!

Clang, clang, clang!

A series of fine clashes of weapons resounded in his ear, and upon looking again, Cheng Buyou suddenly found that Ding Ling's sword was already pressed against his neck; if he moved even an inch forward, he would certainly be pierced through the neck, meeting his death.

His face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat uncontrollably broke out on his back, causing all the hairs on his body to stand on end.

"I concede,"

Ding Ling sheathed his sword.

Only then did Cheng Buyou realize that they had been sparring with swords, and he was somewhat in a daze, finding it hard to believe he had lost so quickly, without even feeling it.

But the fact was unchangeable; if not for Ding Ling yielding, he might already be dead.

Thinking of this,

He felt disgruntled in his heart, sighed, hunched slightly, and walked to the back without saying a word.

[Achievement Medal earned: Intimidated Cheng Buyou.]

[Note: Cheng Buyou, with a hot temper and rude manner, originally intended to seize this opportunity to beat you by a move or two, but was easily defeated by you. He couldn't even figure out where he lost. His feelings of envy and jealousy turned into fear, vigilance, and wariness towards you.]

Aside from the Achievement Medal.

[1: Defeat more than 20 realm powerhouses: 42/20.]

Previously, it was 41.

"Sure enough, it works."

Ding Ling's expression slightly lifted.

Looking at people like Fengg Buping, it was as if he was seeing experience points!

"Who's next?"

Ding Ling smiled slightly, lowering the Heaven-Swaying Sword in his hand.

"I am."

Cong Buqi, without saying more, thrust a Treasure Sword directly at Ding Ling.

But in the next instant,

Clang!

In just one round,

Ding Ling's Heaven-Swaying Sword already pointed at his forehead, and with just a bit more force, Cong Buqi's forehead would be pierced.

"You, you, you..."

Cong Buqi stammered you, you, you for a long time, but couldn't say anything, retreating with an unwilling and fearful look.

[Achievement Medal earned: Intimidated Cong Buqi.]

[Note: Cong Buqi, arrogant and despicable, unscrupulously intended to take this opportunity to attack you, to seize an advantage and win a half move. Yet, he was still easily defeated by you. He's somewhat questioning life.

He merely hoped to win half a move, even when having the upper hand, and yet failed! He felt desolate, depressed, unwilling, and uncomfortable!]

[1: Defeat more than 20 realm powerhouses: 43/20.]

Sure enough, it works.

Ding Ling smiled slightly.

Originally, I thought the Achievement Medals of these Sword Sect descendants were taken by other players.

But it seems no other player has gained their recognition yet.

Thinking about it, indeed.

These three without exception were those with 'great vendettas and deep resolves', with resilient hearts, paying countless time, blood, sweat, and tears to return to Huashan.

How could they be easily subdued, intimidated, or moved by people?

Next, Fengg Buping's Gale Swift Sword was also easily broken by Ding Ling's Breaking Sword Form.

Ding Ling gained another Achievement Medal.

The mission progress jumped to 44.

"Now do you understand the gap between you and Ding Ling?"

Feng Qingyang glanced at Fengg Buping and the others:

"When your Sword Technique can reach a state unconfined by form, reaching anywhere you will, then I will consider teaching you the Dugu Nine Swords."

Fengg Buping and the others were now in a daze, being defeated by Ding Ling in one move before everyone, the blow could be imagined, each feeling ashamed and crestfallen.

Upon hearing Feng Qingyang's words, they could only respond hollowly, not daring to question unfairness any longer.

Compared to Ding Ling,

They were like fools, like trash.

Feng Qingyang's lack of regard seemed understandable.

Thinking of this made them even more dejected.

Their gazes at Ding Ling inevitably carried a hint of fear.

For them,

The onlooking Yue Buqun couple, Yue Lingshan, Laudeno, and others were either shocked, in a daze, or frightened.

Ning Zhongze muttered to herself:

"Ding Ling's Sword Skill has reached an incredible level. I can't even comprehend why his last strike was made, yet it easily broke the Life-taking Linked Three Immortal Swords!"

"Indeed. The Life-taking Linked Three Immortal Swords, such a Superior Swordsmanship, was broken so simply. Facing Ding Ling, I now have no confidence. I doubt if we become enemies, I'd likely be easily killed by him with one strike."

Yue Buqun sighed.

More determined to befriend Ding Ling.

Imagine being enemies with Ding Ling?

Yue Buqun shuddered at the thought, raising all the hairs on his body!

"Dad, Mom, can you really not block Ding Ling's sword?!"

Yue Lingshan couldn't believe it.

In her eyes,

Her parents were omnipotent, the strongest in the Jianghu.

They were her sky, her earth!

But now it seems her world is about to collapse.

"No. We can't block it."

Ning Zhongze was honest: "Facing him head-on, I might not even last a breath before being killed. He's too strong; I don't have the courage to face his sword!"

"Exactly. Previously, his swords had traces to follow. But now, learning the Dugu Nine Swords, they are traceless, a single move, Heavenly Horse Soaring in the Sky, antelope's horns, I can't comprehend it, how could I possibly parry?"

Yue Buqun agreed, nodding without shame.

All three Sword Sect members were easily defeated.

Even someone as grand as Feng Qingyang claimed to have less achievement in the Dugu Nine Swords than Ding Ling.

Think of Ding Ling's past achievements!

Yue Buqun at this moment admitting being inferior to Ding Ling was entirely reasonable.

He even found it normal to be inferior to Ding Ling!

Before, he thought he could spar ten moves with Ding Ling; now, he had no confidence in lasting one!

"This, this, this..."

Yue Lingshan was as if struck by lightning, her face turned pale.

Her worldview and outlook on life began to crumble at this moment.

Qu Feiyan glimpsed at Yue Lingshan but didn't add fuel to the fire by saying anything like 'Now do you see how powerful my Brother Ding is?'

Instead, her bright eyes shone even more brilliantly when looking at Ding Ling.

The sense of glory in her eyes seemed almost tangible.

Lin Pingzhi, Consort Yhu, and others felt similar, feeling proud as one.
