Jared was taken aback, he hadn’t anticipated that the dispersed light could regroup and then transform into a fierce beast.
“You can actually transform the form of your sword energy at will?”
Jared was somewhat taken aback.
Being able to control the longsword one held in their hand would enable them to transform their sword energy. Once the energy is released, one would only have to follow the sword intent to be able to transform it into whatever one desires.
That was exactly how Jared cast the shape of a dragon with his Dragonslayer Sword.
Yet, this woman’s sword energy had clearly transformed into numerous sword flowers that attacked. However, halfway through, these sword flowers would converge, and morph into ferocious beasts.
This left Jared somewhat taken aback. After all, once the sword energy was released, it was simply impossible to control.
But the ability of this woman to control her sword energy, much like one would control their spiritual or demonic energy, was simply beyond belief.
“Hmph, do you really think the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s strength is undeserving of our illustrious reputation?”
The woman let out a cold huff.
“Ten Thousand Sword Sect?” Jared had never heard of this sect before. But from the sound of it, it seemed to be a sect specializing in swordsmanship.
“Though your swordsmanship is indeed impressive; when up against absolute power, all techniques are merely flashy moves for show.”
With a cool chuckle, Jared spontaneously raised the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand.
The Dragonslayer Sword radiated brilliantly, and its sword intent enveloped Jared entirely.
“Let me show you what real swordsmanship looks like…”
“Nine Shadows!”
Jared unleashed the Nine Shadows Sword Technique.
It had been a while since he had used the Nine Shadows Sword Technique. After all, the spirit of his Dragonslayer Sword, Zelda, had been injured and was unable to leave the sword’s body, let alone communicate with Jared’s intentions. Therefore, Jared rarely used the Nine Shadows Sword Technique anymore.
As the Nine Shadows Sword Technique was executed, one after another, shadow clones of Jared emerged. Each silhouette carried the distinct aura of Jared.
Six shadow clones lined up neatly before the woman.
Upon seeing the situation, the woman was completely taken aback. Even the ferocious beast, formed by the sword energy, vanished without a trace during her moment of confusion.
“You… What kind of sword technique is this? How can there be so many shadow clones?”
“Illusion spell, this has to be illusion spell, right?”
After her initial shock, it seemed as if the woman had thought of something, her eyes suddenly widening in realization.
She didn’t believe that what Jared was doing could be considered swordsmanship. It had to be an illusion spell, it just had to be.
“No matter how many shadow clones you create, you can’t escape from my grasp.”
“Ten Thousand Sword Cage!”
The woman let out a low growl, immediately following it with a forceful swing of her longsword toward the sky.
Under the moonlight, the dark night sky suddenly lit up with countless points of light. Following that, streams of light rained down, targeting the six clones.
No amount of shadow clones would be able to withstand such a ferocious attack.
The woman’s eyes radiated confidence and her lips held a subtle smile.
“It’s so beautiful, just like a splendid firework…”
Just when the woman was certain that Jared was undoubtedly doomed, a voice unexpectedly echoed from behind her.
The woman, startled, quickly spun around, only to find that Jared had somehow appeared behind her at some point.
“H-How did you end up here?”
The woman’s face was filled with shock, then she turned around to look at the six shadow clones of Jared she was directly facing.
It turned out that none of these six clones were actually Jared. Unbeknownst to her, the real Jared had somehow managed to position himself behind the woman.
The woman never anticipated that what she perceived as her cage of a thousand swords posed absolutely no threat or harm to Jared.
“Could this really have been achieved by a Seventh Level Tribulator cultivator?”
The woman was skeptical at that moment, questioning Jared’s level of expertise. It was impossible for a Seventh Level Tribulator to achieve such a feat.
As an Ultimate Realm Level One cultivator and a master swordsman, it was humiliating to be driven into such a miserable state by Jared, a mere Seventh Level Tribulator cultivator- especially when he, too, was wielding a sword.
It was outrageous.
