Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 234 Time for Two

Under the fierce attack like a dense net, the Iron-clad Lizard tried its best to struggle and resist frantically, but the layers of sword nets were like a dragnet that prevented it from breaking through successfully.

The solid iron armor that it had once been proud of began to show long and shocking cracks under the continuous and fierce attacks of the Jinghong Sword. The disgusting and smelly blood slowly seeped out from these wounds, gradually dyeing the ground beneath it red.

The armored lizard was unwilling to sit and wait for death. It suddenly spat out a mouthful of rich spiritual power from its mouth, trying to form a solid protective shield on its body surface. However, this seemingly powerful protective shield only lasted for a short moment under the sharp attack of the Jinghong Sword. It was easily shattered like fragile glass and turned into points of spiritual light that dissipated in the air.

At this moment, the murderous light in the iron-clad lizard's eyes was gradually replaced by uncontrollable fear. It let out desperate roars, and the sound echoed in the dense forest, full of unwillingness and pain. However, all these struggles were in vain and could not change its predetermined tragic fate.

Shen Yun's face was still as cold as ice, his eyes flashed with a determined light, and he controlled the ten Jinghong swords to continue to increase the strength and speed of the attack. As the light flashed, the sword energy crisscrossed, like an airtight cage, further compressing the space where the armored lizard could move. The armored lizard tried to use its huge and clumsy body to make a final collision, trying to make a final struggle, but the Jinghong swords were like a smart bird, flexibly avoiding its almost crazy impact, and gave it fatal blows from all angles like raindrops.

Finally, with the explosion of a dazzling light, the light was as bright as the sun, and the armored lizard could no longer hold on. Its huge body fell to the ground with a dull sound under the impact of the light. Its cracked armor was completely shattered and scattered all over the ground. The fragments flashed a dim light in the sun, and its life also came to an abrupt end at this moment, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence.

Shen Yun waved his right sword lightly, and the ten shining swords instantly merged into one, flying back to his hand with a sharp sound of wind. The light on the sword gradually converged until it disappeared completely. The surrounding dense forest returned to its former tranquility, as if the fierce and thrilling battle just now had never happened. Only the fallen armored lizard silently witnessed Shen Yun's strength and courage.

Shen Yun turned around and looked at Lin Ruyi, who was sitting on a branch and swinging her legs leisurely. A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Done, let's continue."

Lin Ruyi jumped down from the branch lightly, clapped her hands, and replied with a smile: "Great, the Sword Controlling Technique passed down by Elder Huo is really powerful."

Shen Yun smiled and shook his head, then continued, "This Sword Controlling Technique is indeed extremely exquisite. I have only just begun to glimpse the basics. I can only achieve the effect of one sword turning into ten. I am still far from truly mastering it."

Lin Ruyi blinked and asked curiously, "Then do you know to what extent Elder Huo can do it?"

Shen Yun thought for a moment, a look of admiration flashing in his eyes, and he slowly replied: "I've heard from Master that he can now transform nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine swords in a single thought, and each sword is incredibly powerful. Those countless sword shadows shining with cold light seem to be able to tear the heaven and earth apart, which is amazing."

Lin Ruyi nodded, not quite understanding, and then asked, "What if we add another sword?"

Shen Yun couldn't help but marvel at Lin Ruyi's intelligence. He explained seriously, "Master once said that this last sword seems to have only increased a little bit, but it is actually the limit of quantity. Once you break through this limit, going further will trigger a qualitative change. By then, everything in the world can be a sword, and wherever the mind goes, the sword can be transformed into thousands. That is a realm beyond imagination. It is easy to take the enemy's head thousands of miles away." After that, Shen Yun's eyes revealed his yearning and longing for that supreme realm.

After hearing this, Lin Ruyi opened her mouth slightly, her face full of astonishment and shock. She imagined the spectacular scene of sword shadows whistling all over the sky, and everything could be turned into a sword. An indescribable excitement surged in her heart. She murmured, "What kind of power is that? It's incredible."

Shen Yun raised his head slightly, looked at the high sky, and said with emotion: "That is the direction we need to pursue and work hard for. One day, we will be able to reach such a height."

"Yeah, I believe you can do it."

Then the two of them collected the body of the armored lizard and continued on their journey.

Biyun Peak and Shengxian Island were far apart, a thousand miles apart. If they chose to ride a flying spirit beast, they would be able to reach there quickly, but because they had accepted the mission from the academy, they had to clear out all the monsters in the entire area, so their journey was extremely slow.

However, for Lin Ruyi, this was exactly what she wanted. Because this time was so rare, it was a moment of solitude that truly belonged to the two of them. From time to time, the two of them would encounter some monsters, both first-level and second-level, and their feelings were like a burning flame, becoming increasingly hot as the monsters fell one by one.

Since the journey from Biyun Peak to Shengxian Island is mainly through water, the two of them focused on the main rivers.

Shen Yun used his strength and ingenuity to chop down several sturdy trees, carefully cut suitable branches, and then tied them into a stable raft with his crude skills.

Then, the two stood side by side on the raft, letting it drift slowly down the rushing river. The river was flowing gently, and the raft was swaying slightly on the water. They stood on it, facing the breeze, watching the scenery on both sides gradually receding, their hearts full of longing for the future and attachment to each other.

The surrounding area is a peaceful and mysterious natural scenery. The river banks are covered with lush green vegetation and occasionally birds fly across the sky, chirping loudly.

During the drifting process, from time to time, some underwater monsters would come to collide with the raft where the two were standing, trying to break the tranquility and peace. However, before these monsters could get close to the raft, Shen Yun would raise his sword and a cold light flashed. The sword was swung out like lightning, and instantly killed the monsters that tried to get close. Only a faint smell of blood was left on the river, which was soon diluted and dissipated by the river water. The two still stood quietly on the raft, continuing their journey, as if nothing had happened.
