C306 Sword techniques
Silver Wolf Lang Xian, the seventh ranked true disciple of the Sirius Sect, had gained the title of "Silver Wolf" for his white robe. However, because of his lecherous and lustful nature, "Silver Wolf" had become "Lecherous wolf".
That Lang Xian did not stop just because Xiong Xiying recognized him. On the contrary, after killing a disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect who was at the late stage of the Martial Saint Realm, Lang Xian had teamed up with the cultivator named Pei to attack him from the front and back.
The situation had suddenly turned around, and Xiong Xiying and the other Heaven Shaking Sect disciple had joined hands to block the pincer attack of the two Great Circle cultivators. Although Cultivator Pei was injured in the internal organs, she did not have much of an impact on his strength; instead, she had spotted Xiong Xijie being a burden and continued to attack, causing Xiong Xiying to focus most of her attention on protecting the disciple of the clan.
"You think you can kill me like this?"
Xiong Xiying had transformed a flying sword into a bright beam of light, not only could it protect Xiong Xizhe, but it could also protect another junior brother of his. Her strength was so great that even the surnamed Pei and the other true disciple of the Heavenly Wolf Sect, Lang Xian, were shocked.
Lang Xian laughed evilly, "Daoist Xiong has two family heads, he might be able to escape, but what about your younger brother? Oh, right, there's also your fellow sect member, but I think you wouldn't care too much about his life, right? "
Xiong Xiying had forced back Cultivator Pei's magic item with his sword, but before he could counterattack, she had no choice but to withdraw his flying sword to assist her junior brother in resisting Lang Xian's pressure.
Xiong Xiiying's face darkened. What Lang Xian said was right, he knew he was far stronger than either of the two, so retreating was not a problem. Even if he brought Xiong Xizhu along, he would still have a chance.
He could clearly feel that his junior brother had become wary of him. Although on the surface, she was still joining hands with him to fight against the enemy, but Xiong Xiying knew that if she tried to run away, this junior brother of her would definitely have some means to stop him, unless he was willing to abandon his junior brother too.
Lang Xian seemed to have noticed Xiong Xiying's hesitation and started to giggle. Xiong Xiying was even more upset. Even the sword light that was used to defend against the enemy had started to scatter.
Lang Xian took the opportunity to enter the sword light while a ball of spiritual light exploded from the magic tool. A silver colored wolf made entirely out of spiritual light came out, and after avoiding Xiong Xiiying and the other Heaven Shaking Sect cultivator, it pounced straight towards Xiong Xi Zhe.
The true magic of the Heavenly Wolf School, the transformation of the spiritual art into a wolf, was not based on one's physical body, but on one's spiritual energy. With the cultivator's spiritual sense, it was able to condense a spiritual wolf with temporary intelligence.
Although Xiong Xi Zhe was quite talented in the Dao of formations, he was only an ordinary second level Martial Master. How could he defend against the techniques of a great circle of cultivators?
The moment the scream was heard, it turned into a miserable shriek. Xiong Xijie tried his best to dodge, but a piece of flesh was torn off his arm by the silver wolf.
The silver wolf nimbly turned its body in the air and took a few steps into the air before biting at Xiong Xizhe's throat again. This time, Xiong Xizhi could no longer avoid the attack.
Seeing that the Xiong Family's array master was about to give up her life and give a kiss, a finger suddenly appeared in the path of the silver wolf's pounce. The finger was about to strike the Xiong Family's head.
The silver wolf had a part of Lang Xian's consciousness, so under his long-range control, it instinctively felt the danger of this finger. Its front paw pressed down on the ground, and it was only half a foot away from the finger.
However, at this moment, the finger pointed forward at the center of the Silver Wolf's forehead. The Silver Wolf's agile body suddenly stopped in midair, and then its body exploded into a cloud of white mist, which then dispersed into a cloud of spirit energy.
Xiong Xiizhi was saved by his brother just as he was about to die. However, because of the momentary distraction, Xiong Xiying was seized by the Cultivator surnamed Pei. A series of magic techniques mixed with the clan's sacred art, the "Three Qi Returning Spirit Arts", shot out towards Xiong Xiying.
Xiong Xiiying was momentarily flustered. The three energies hidden within the other supernatural powers suddenly combined into one as soon as they approached him, increasing their might. In the end, Xiong Xiiying couldn't react in time to be injured by the Three Qi Returning Spirit Art, and his face paled as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"It seems like all of you are really not going to stop until I am dead!"
Not only did the injured Xiong Xiying not show any signs of defeat, but instead, a heart palpitating, vicious aura burst forth from her body, like a wounded beast that was about to choose its prey, causing the hearts of Lang Xian and Cultivator Pei to sink.
A strange trembling sound suddenly came from behind Xiong Xiying. The Cultivator surnamed Pei didn't understand what was happening, but Lang Xian on the other side exclaimed, "Jian Yin, you've actually mastered the Flying Sword Spirit Art!"
"Flying Sword Spirit Art, impossible!"
Although the knowledge of Cultivator Pei was not as good as Lang Xian, the true disciple of the Heavenly Wolf Sect, she clearly knew the basics of the Flying Sword Spirit Technique. She seemed to find it hard to believe that Xiong Xiying was able to master the flying sword technique.
Not only were the two cultivators surnamed Pei and Lang Xian, but even his junior apprentice brother who was fighting alongside him seemed to find it hard to believe after hearing Lang Xian's shout.
The sword aura of the flying sword suddenly increased by three feet, and the sword hum from before was the strange sound produced by the rapid vibration of the flying sword. It could be considered a type of sword whistle.
The tip of the sword pointed at the two of them. Regardless of whether it was Lang Xian or Cultivator Pei, both of them subconsciously took two steps back.
Xiong Xiying sneered as she pointed her finger at Cultivator Pei and bellowed: "Feng!"
A sharp piercing sound could be heard as the flying sword that was enveloped by the sword beam arrived in front of Cultivator Pei. The already prepared Cultivator Pei put his magic item in front of him, only to hear a crisp sound as it was knocked away.
Cultivator Pei then brought his hands together and formed a seal, raising a flood dragon serpent in front of him with his spiritual power. He twined towards the flying knife but was cut into pieces by the sword beam.2
Even though Cultivator Pei couldn't stop the power of the Sword Spirit Art, he had slowed the speed of the flying sword. A white beam of light flew in from the side and struck the flying sword's spine, causing the flying sword to fly a few inches away. As it flew past Cultivator Pei's face, the cold sword intent created a few small holes on his face.
The pale white light, which was sent flying by the flying sword, flew back into Lang Xian's hand. It turned out to be a pale, jade-like bone. It was as thick as a human head and as thin as a drumstick.
Xiong Xiying narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "Wolf drum!"
Even though Lang Xian had blocked Xiong Xiying's attack, her face was not the least bit lustful. Even though the innate magical tool wolf drum in his hand was only a high-grade magic tool, it was made from the silver wolf bone of a Huang Beast. As his cultivation grew, he might even be able to reach the spirit treasure rank in one fell swoop.
Even so, he could only barely defend himself when faced with Xiong Xiying's sword art. This was because Xiong Xiying's sword art was clearly not one of the top ten sword art's sacred arts.
However, there were no clear boundaries between the different categories, and there were often intersections between them. For example, Yang Junshan's innate spirit art, Magnetic Spiritual Light, could be considered as either an auxiliary type or an offensive type of spiritual art, and even the magnetic Spiritual Light itself had a considerable defense.
Sword Spirit Techniques could be considered as one of the three thousand types of Spirit Techniques and sword arts. It specifically referred to various Spirit Techniques and sword arts. However, since the majority of sword arts and techniques relied on offensive techniques and supernatural powers, sword arts could be considered as one of the offensive techniques and supernatural powers.
Amongst the offensive techniques and sacred arts rankings in the cultivation world, the sword arts and sacred arts alone occupied three places among the top ten. Amongst the top twenty places, the sword arts and sacred arts also occupied five places.
Of course, the true power of the Sword Spirit Art could only be multiplied after it was combined with the Flying Sword Technique. If one was like Xiong Xiying, who could train the sword art to the point of forming sword beams, then the power would be even more terrifying when the sword hum was used by an Imperial Censor.
Although Xiong Xiying had used her sword arts to intimidate two cultivators of the same cultivation level in one go, she had only gained the upper hand by a small margin. Wanting to obtain the Red Essence Fruit by relying on her sword spirit technique was obviously not realistic, but luckily, she had already obtained six Scarlet Essence Fruits and was able to reap some benefits.
"The two of you, right now, neither of us can do anything to the other. If I, Xiong Shou, and the other two leave, I'll leave the Red Essence Fruit Tree to the two of you. How about it?"
The cultivator surnamed Pei laughed coldly, "You have a good idea. We don't want the Red Essence Fruit Tree anymore, but our brothers here have died under your sneak attack, so your six Red Essence Fruits will be split between me and them!"
When Xiong Xiying saw Lang Xian and Cultivator Pei standing in front of the corpses of their fellow disciples, and the three Scarlet Essence Fruits on his body, it was clear that Xiong Xiying could not refuse them. Xiong Xiiying simply nodded and said, "Alright, if I have the time in the future, I will ask you two to help me!"
