Chapter 270 The Secret of the Sword Realm
As the saying goes, an expert knows the ins and outs of something. Donghuang Taiyi was the one who had found the top master who had turned the master's realm into reality. When he saw the existence of the sword world, he naturally saw the mystery of it at a glance. But except for Donghuang Taiyi and a few others, what others saw was a completely different picture.

From the perspective of the people present, what they saw was that the masters who were supposed to be nimble and agile suddenly became clumsy. More than 70% of them retreated after walking only a few feet. There was a way ahead, but it was not their way.

They broke into the interior before the remaining less than 30% of the masters. The moment they entered the inner area, they felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation. Even their true energy became more active, and their sword intent was like a wanderer returning home, revealing a feeling of joy from the inside out.

At this moment, these masters clearly felt that they had reached their peak and their limits, limits that they would never be able to reach in their entire lives.

"That's it." Someone couldn't help but smile.

If the sword world in the first half was like a strict father who madly suppressed them and was extremely harsh on them, then the sword world inside was like a kind mother who was promoting their growth without reservation and selfishness.

At this moment, everyone in the sword world saw their bright future, which was their way forward.

What on earth did those people encounter? The swordsmen who had to withdraw due to the pressure from the sword world looked at each other in silence. The fact that they were invited to Linzi was a testament to their strength.

Although they couldn't even enter the inner part of the sword world here, everyone in their hometown was a famous master. But even such a master had no idea what they had just experienced at this moment, and didn't know why the people who entered the sword world showed such an expression.

"This is..." Guiguzi, who was hiding in the stands, had his eyes shining. Although his realm was still inferior to Donghuang Taiyi, he was the only sword master in the world. His understanding of the sword world was only higher than Donghuang Taiyi, not lower than Donghuang Taiyi.

At this moment, what Guiguzi saw in his eyes was the omnipresent sword energy and sword intent. The variety and power of these sword energy and sword intent were incredible. Among them, he even saw the sword technique that had prevented him from advancing or retreating that day.

"That is a world belonging to swords. In that world, swords are alive." Guiguzi murmured to himself. At this time, he already understood why those people's sword intent would boil and why their skills would increase after they walked into the sword world. It was all because behind them, there was the sword world pushing them forward.

And who is pushing the sword world forward?
It can only be Yang Chong. While thinking, Guiguzi had already looked at Yang Chong who was sitting on the throne. He looked a little strange in the black robe, but Guiguzi felt that he knew Yang Chong better than ever.

"There is a way ahead of me." Guiguzi said to himself, with a fiery light blooming in his eyes.

"Is that Master?" In an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, Wei Zhuang suddenly raised his head. In the previous moment, he felt a familiar breath.

When he looked somewhere, he felt that the figure was so familiar.

Wei Zhuang, the current general of South Korea and the contemporary successor of the Zongheng School, is not in Xinzheng at this time, but appears in Linzi, thousands of miles away. Is this considered as not doing his job properly?
But now no one is pursuing Wei Zhuang's idleness, as long as Wei Zhuang himself does not think that he is idleness.

So, would Wei Zhuang think that his presence in Linzi was a waste of time?
of course not.

Wei Zhuang knew very well that the position of the General of the Kingdom of Han was just a tool for him to achieve his goal, and the shark tooth in his palm was his true self.

Wei Zhuang didn't want to miss the National Martial Arts Conference held by Yang Chong. He knew very well that if he missed it for a few years, it would be extremely difficult to experience the same thing again in the future. What's more, Wei Zhuang wanted to use this event to see what level Yang Chong had reached.

Speaking of Yang Chong, Wei Zhuang had endless doubts. When he first met Yang Chong, Yang Chong was still pitifully weak. How come after a few years, Yang Chong had become someone he could hardly surpass?

Wei Zhuang was very dissatisfied with this. Now that he had the opportunity to glimpse Yang Chong's true strength, how could he let it go?
However, Wei Zhuang, who secretly came to Linzi, had not yet seen Yang Chong’s true strength, but had seen his teacher Guiguzi.

Could it be that Master is as curious as I am? While thinking, Wei Zhuang returned his gaze to the arena. Although it seemed that he would lose face now, after all, he had never considered himself as an inferior, but now he could no longer resist his curiosity.

He is not Guiguzi, and does not have Guiguzi's realm and knowledge. He cannot see the mystery of the sword world. In order to know the secrets, he can only join the game himself. As for whether he will be laughed at by Yang Chong, he is sure that with Yang Chong's bad temper that is not inferior to Han Fei, mocking him is inevitable.

However, Wei Zhuang felt that he could endure it.

Wei Zhuang's sudden joining seemed to have triggered something, and more than a dozen people who had not yet left the stage due to their pride as masters also left the stage one after another.

With the addition of these people, new changes occurred in the sword world again. Sword energy and sword intent turned into entities and attacked the people inside the sword world.

As the sword energy was flying everywhere, masters from all sides had to raise their swords to meet the attack.

However, they soon discovered to their sorrow that the invisible enemy was actually too powerful. A single sword energy could overwhelm them and make them panic. One should know that there are many similar sword energies in this sword world.

So, the people present saw the following scene: within the area of ​​the arena, those mighty masters were actually fighting against illusory sword energies. The excitement of the scene made them applaud, but the absurdity of the scene also made them dumbfounded.

"Is that my sword energy?" Soon, even people with less vision noticed the abnormality in the sword world. Among the vast amount of completely different sword energies, they saw the sword energy that they were familiar with.

"Is my sword energy so powerful?" Many people wondered.

All they had was confusion, but Wei Zhuang and others in the sword world had a completely different feeling.

Their opponents turned out to be sword energies without owners. How ridiculous was this?
But now they had no time to think about anything else, because they found that the sword energy in front of them was actually deadly enough, and they could only resist it with all their strength.

"Am I really so weak?" Wei Zhuang, who was repelled by a sword energy, couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. Could he be unable to defeat a sword energy? This was such a ridiculous joke, but it was also true.

In extreme shame, Wei Zhuang pulled himself together, raised his strength to the extreme, defeated a sword energy with one sword, and a wisp of sword intent merged into his body. "Just, the Sun-Covering Sword Intent?" As the sword intent entered his body, Wei Zhuang's mind could not help but emerge with a wisp of sword comprehension. The sword cultivation that could only be improved after fighting again and again actually began to loosen up at this time, showing a tendency to improve.

At this time, Wei Zhuang was not the only one who discovered this. There were also people who defeated the sword energy and obtained the sword intent contained in the sword energy. That was the sword intent that could improve their sword skills and allow them to go further.

It can be said that these sword intentions are the greatest treasure for these sword masters from all over the world. They are a great tonic that allows them to improve their strength in a short period of time. For a moment, many swordsmen who were originally suffering from the attack of sword energy, or even angry, were all cheered up. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, and no one is willing to miss it.

When these swordsmen chose to fight without reservation, the uncontrolled sword energy would hardly be their opponent. Sword energy was constantly being defeated and sword intent was constantly being absorbed by the swordsmen.

However, the sword energy seemed endless. Although some of the sword energy was constantly being defeated, new sword energy was constantly being generated, and these new sword energies seemed to become even more powerful.

"This is spanning in all directions." Just as Wei Zhuang was concentrating on fighting against one sword intent after another, a cry of surprise came from not far away.

Wei Zhuang looked over suddenly, and saw a sword energy that he was extremely familiar with forcing a young swordsman into a dead corner with a fatal force.

The young swordsman had been able to hold on until now, and he was a top-notch existence both in strength and talent. However, he was almost forced into a blind spot under the sword energy that spanned in all directions, and was about to die under the sword energy. Fortunately, his reaction speed was extremely fast. In a flash, he rolled over, and although he was in a mess, he managed to avoid the sword energy. However, the people behind him were not so lucky.

As the sword energy faded, a blood mist rose. As the bloody smell spread, people inside and outside the field realized that this was not a game of house, but a real martial arts competition that could result in death.

Wei Zhuang looked at the shark-tooth sword in his hand. If the sword was not still in his hand, he would even doubt whether he had made the attack just now.

The familiar power that spanned in all directions, and even surpassed it, gave him an illusion.

But the next moment Wei Zhuang had no time to worry about his doubts, because another sword energy was attacking him, leaving him no time to be distracted.

In the sword world, people kept dying, but at the same time, more and more sword energy was defeated. Even the sword world's derivative speed could not keep up with the consumption.

However, Wei Zhuang and others who were in the sword world did not feel any relief at all. Instead, they felt more and more pressure. The sword energy was constantly decreasing under their attack. Their own strength also became stronger as they absorbed more and more scattered sword intent, but the remaining sword energy was constantly increasing.

"Can these things be alive?" Wei Zhuang barely repelled a sword energy, but his palm was numb from the shock. At this time, even the sword energy that spanned in all directions was destroyed. He even experienced the sword intent condensed by the Hundred-Step Flying Sword with his own eyes, and glimpsed the secret of the Hundred-Step Flying Sword's changes. It can be said that just the constant confrontation with the sword energy was better than his three years of hard training.

But his speed of improvement could not keep up with the transformation of the sword energy in the sword world. The amount of sword energy was decreasing, but the power of sword energy was constantly increasing.

When there were only thirty-six sword energies left in the sword world, the number of people who could still hold on in the sword world was less than even.

"If you continue like this, none of these people will survive. What exactly do you want to do? What kind of swordsmanship do you want to refine using these people's lives?" Guiguzi was getting restless at this point.

Although there were only thirty-six sword energies left in the sword world, he could feel that each of these thirty-six sword energies was a power that only a master could master. Although Wei Zhuang and his men were already the best sword users in the world, facing these thirty-six sword energies, they would only be defeated.

Guiguzi even had a feeling that even if he faced these thirty-six sword energies, he would probably not be able to escape unscathed.

If Yang Chong doesn't take action now, no one in the sword world will survive.

Just when Guiguzi couldn't help but take action, Yang Chong suddenly stood up, and before anyone could see clearly, he had appeared deep in the sword world.

Wei Zhuang and the others only saw a flash before their eyes, and Yang Chong's figure had already appeared between them and the sword energy.

For a moment, Wei Zhuang and others felt that what was blocking their way was no longer a figure, but a high mountain. The front and back of the mountain were two completely different worlds.

At the moment when Wei Zhuang and others were freed from the sword, the sword energy that had reached its extreme murderous intent in the blood seemed to be completely in a riot. Even if Yang Chong was the master of the sword world, they would do things that would harm their master.

At the same time, thirty-six sword energies attacked Yang Chong together. The different sword intentions bloomed as if to destroy the world, and in an instant, Yang Chong was enveloped.

Facing each sword energy that was enough to kill Wei Zhuang, Yang Chong remained calm. With a wave of his hand, his huge robe sleeves rolled up, bringing up a gust of wind that stirred into the torrent of sword energy. The violent force caused the torrent of sword energy to pause.

Wei Zhuang and others who had already left the field at this time looked at Yang Chong who was enveloped by the torrent of sword energy, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The martial arts skills displayed by Yang Chong at this time seemed to be so powerful that he didn't even need to discuss them, right?
To say something that may hurt their self-esteem, they are not qualified to discuss martial arts with Yang Chong at all.

So what exactly is Yang Chong going to do?
In the eyes of countless people, Yang Chong, who was enveloped by the thirty-six sword energies, showed his true strength. Every strike he made was powerful enough to kill a first-class master. Although the thirty-six sword energies were fierce, they were like toys in front of Yang Chong.

More and more sword energy was defeated by Yang Chong, until the last sword energy was defeated and scattered among the sword world.

When Wei Zhuang and others saw this scene, they thought that the martial arts debate was about to end, but Guiguzi, Donghuang Taiyi, and a few others including Xun Kuang suddenly stood up.
