Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 907: The Sword as the Body, the Body as the Sword

Chapter 907: The Sword as the Body, the Body as the Sword

“Finally done.”

For some reason, after battling Xue Shilou, Lu Yang inexplicably felt exhausted, as if he had fought three people. He had originally planned to finish early and watch the other matches in the second group. Now, he just wanted to sit and rest for a while.

“By the way, Immortal Fairy, did someone below the platform shout something about a Snow Emperor Bloodline? Do you know what that is?”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy shook her head. “Never heard of it. It’s probably not any impressive figure; didn’t you just defeat his descendant?”

Lu Yang felt that Xue Shilou was a rather tough nut to crack. He is the first opponent to withstand three consecutive Slashing Word Mantras.

Oh, that isn’t exactly accurate. I should say that he’s the first opponent of the same level to withstand three Slashing Word Mantras.

After all, my opponents include the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord, the Heaven Mandate Immortal, the Qilin Immortal, and so on. Three Slashing Word Mantras would be nothing to them.

Lu Yang felt embarrassed to ask the cultivators from the Extreme North what the Snow Emperor Bloodline was. Judging by their reactions, it must be terrifying and perhaps highly revered among cultivators there.

Having just defeated Xue Shilou, if I were to ask, “What’s the Snow Emperor? Is he really that impressive?” wouldn’t that be outright mockery?

Even the Everlasting Immortal Fairy wouldn’t do something so foolish.

“Hey, why not just ask those sword cultivators from the Extreme North? Then wouldn’t you know what the Snow Emperor Bloodline is?!” As Lu Yang’s golden finger cheat and strategist, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy proposed a great solution.

Lu Yang, “...”

“Congratulations on your victory.” Yun Mengmeng approached with a beaming smile.

“A piece of cake.” In front of a Golden Core cultivator, Lu Yang had to maintain his image and not show any fatigue.

Seeing Lu Yang descend from the platform, the crowd instinctively parted, making way for him.

Those three Slashing Word Mantras were a sword cultivator’s most basic sword forms, yet they seemed to have undergone a complete transformation in Lu Yang’s hands, their power incomparable to the Slashing Word Mantra they knew.

Few could even withstand one strike.

To hone the most fundamental sword forms to such an extent, one could imagine how diligently Lu Yang trained.

Extraordinary talent in Sword Dao is one thing, but even his effort surpasses ours. How are we supposed to compete?

“Senior Brother Lu Yang, you’re done too?” Mingtai came over to look for Lu Yang after finishing his match.

“Just finished fighting Xue Shilou from the Extreme North. What about you?”

“Just finished fighting a large black dog from the Demon Region.” Recalling the battle, Mingtai shifted uncomfortably; he wanted a bath. “When that dog fought me with a sword in its mouth, saliva flew everywhere and all over me.”

The large black dog’s offensive power was average, but the psychological impact was immense. Demon Region sword cultivators all knew its fighting style, and none of them wanted to be matched against him.

Fortunately for them, Mingtai became the unlucky one.

After the second group’s matches ended, the third, fourth...up to the thirty-second groups all concluded smoothly. The order was reshuffled, and lots were drawn again.

Next, Lu Yang faced a woman disguised as a man, seeking to prove that women could also become supreme sword cultivators.

“Slash.”

Next, he faced a daughter attending the Sword-Seeking Grand ceremony in place of her bedridden father.

“Slash.”

Next, he faced a female sword cultivator who came to challenge the strong, believing only the strongest could be her husband.

“Mingtai, let’s swap opponents.”

“Ah? Oh.”

~~~

“Xiao Yangzi, Xiao Yangzi, let me have a go!”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy saw Yue Chuan and his sword spirit A’Lan fight together like husband and wife, sweeping through matches until they were ultimately defeated by Lu Yang. Although they lost, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy found the sight of a sword cultivator and a sword spirit fighting together so cool that she was tempted to try it herself.

“Ah? Immortal Fairy, you want to fight?” Lu Yang wondered, Should I resurrect and tie up the Sword Tower Supreme Lord and the Qin Sword Venerable Lord for you?

“Aiya, I won’t show my face.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy giggled, understanding that she must keep a low profile and not appear in public. “Just hold on tight to the Qingfeng Sword.”

Clueless as to how she planned to fight, Lu Yang felt uneasy, but since it was her request, he had to accept.

~~~

“Fellow Daoist Lu Yang, I never expected to exchange blows with you at this Sword-Seeking Grand Ceremony.”

This time, Lu Yang’s opponent was Kun Qiu of the Hundun Tribe.

Lu Yang had watched Kun Qiu’s matches. His style was indeed unique, emphasizing yin-yang fusion and balancing hardness with softness. The transitions between his sword moves were so fluid that his opponents couldn’t react.

“I never expected the Hundun Tribe to have such a Sword Dao expert like you. It’s really a pity that I didn’t spar with you during my visit to the Demon Region.”

Yin-yang fusion and balancing hardness with softness were reminiscent of the Nine-Layers Immortal’s Dao Fruit. Lu Yang felt that adapting a simpler version now would prepare him for the Nine-Layers Immortal yin-yang torture in the future.

The moment the battle began, the Qingfeng Sword lunged toward Kun Qiu, dragging Lu Yang along, startling both him and Kun Qiu.

Lu Yang hadn’t expected such a fighting style from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy; Kun Qiu hadn’t expected such a fighting style from Lu Yang.

Kun Qiu’s fighting style was known for unpredictability and surprise; he never imagined Lu Yang would seize the initiative first.

“As I thought, he’s a tough opponent. One move, and he’s disrupted my rhythm!

“Right, only such opponents are challenging!

“Lu Yang, come fight!”

“Xiao Yangzi, let’s charge!” Within the Qingfeng Sword, the sword spirit shouted, her voice only heard by Lu Yang. She bolted like a wild horse loose from its reins. Had Lu Yang not held tight, he would have been flung off.

~~~

Tower Leader Guan watched Lu Yang gravely, commenting to the elders beside him.

“Juniors are redoubtable indeed. Have you noticed? Every time, the Qingfeng Sword moves first, then Lu Yang follows.

“What does this mean? It means that Lu Yang has reached a legendary variant of the realm Person as Sword as One. His thoughts transmit to the sword first, then to his body!

“The sword as the sovereign and he as the subject—so that’s what it means.

“Remarkable.”

One elder couldn’t help but ask, “Setting aside Lu Yang’s matter, after Mingtai defeated that female sword cultivator, she’s been clamoring to marry him. What should we do?”

Another elder grew anxious. “Absolutely not! We mustn’t let Mingtai betray the Supreme Lord!”

~~~

On the arena platform, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had comprehended a new realm of Person and Sword as One, flinging Lu Yang about and using him to ram Kun Qiu.

“Heyah!”

Without any other choice, Lu Yang could only envelop himself in sword qi and kick Kun Qiu.

No matter how renowned Kun Qiu was for his versatile sword moves, he couldn’t have anticipated such a fighting style. He was stunned anew; every one of Lu Yang’s attacks defied his expectations.

“Could this be the legendary ‘the sword as the body, the body as the sword?’”

“Chain Sword-Qi Kick!” Lu Yang bellowed.

His legwork was formidable. His feet moved in a blur, each kick imbued with sword qi and striking Kun Qiu’s chest. Attacks rained down like a tempest, leaving Kun Qiu no time to react as he was sent tumbling off the platform!
