Chapter 271 Seven Limits of Sword Dao
As Yang Chong defeated the sword energy one after another, the sword world was empty.

But at this time, even people like Wei Zhuang felt something was wrong. They realized that everything that had just happened, including their bloody battle and Yang Chong's attack, was actually just a prelude, and what was to come was probably the beginning of the real show.

People like them are probably not even considered supporting roles here.

For a moment, the huge square became completely silent. Although some people didn't understand why, when they saw the solemn faces around them, they realized that something was wrong.

Yang Chong did not have the energy to pay attention to the changes in the square. At this moment, he had already felt a force that could be said to be able to destroy the world and was the ultimate in breaking the law.

As the master of the sword world, he knows better than anyone what changes are taking place in the sword world.

The sword world can not only absorb the world's sword techniques for its own use, but also absorb the world's sword techniques and use them as nutrients to deduce and derive higher and stronger sword techniques. It can even evolve living, life-like sword techniques. For example, in another time and space, there is a sword world that has evolved such an extremely evil and powerful terrifying sword technique as the Twelve Swords of Xuanyin.

What Yang Chong has to do now is to make use of the sword world, draw on the essence of sword techniques from various schools of thought and masters from all sides, combine his own strength, and evolve a sword technique through the sword world that surpasses the limits of this world.

This is an opportunity for Yang Chong, a chance for him to possess the strongest combat power in the world, but the other side of opportunity is crisis. The greater the opportunity, the greater the risk.

The stronger the sword skills evolved in the sword world, the greater the danger for Yang Chong. It might even backfire on him as its master.

But even so, Yang Chong still injected his power into the sword world without reservation, helping the sword world to evolve stronger sword techniques, even if this sword technique would backfire on him.

As Yang Chong's power was injected, the sword world began to bloom with brilliance. Tiny but dazzling fluorescent lights slowly rose from all over the sword world, turning into streams of light that began to gather. As they burned, several sword shadows gradually formed, which seemed real and unreal, and between the real and the unreal, there were bursts of breathtaking power blooming.

"It appears. This is his ultimate goal." Xunzi, who was now the Prime Minister of Qi, said to himself.

Although he is not as proficient in martial arts as Guiguzi, he is a master after all, and naturally has the vision of a master. What's more, he is now Yang Chong's confidant, so he knows more inside information than people like Guiguzi and Donghuang Taiyi, and he is more aware of the changes in the sword world.

"That is..." As a master of swordsmanship, Guiguzi's perception of the sword world is more sensitive than anyone else. At this moment, he feels that there are countless sword intentions brewing in the sword world. It is a sword technique that does not belong to this world. It is filled with violent murderous intent, and it seems to almost destroy the world.

"The world of swords? Has he reached such a point?" The changes in the sword world appeared in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes. Guiguzi saw the fatal sword intent brewing in the sword world, but he saw the existence of the sword world between reality and illusion. This was exactly what he was pursuing.

Donghuang Taiyi has spent most of his life pursuing the goal of turning his master's domain into reality and creating a small world of his own, and now he sees it in Yang Chong.

Moreover, the method he used was definitely not what I planned. He did not rely on Qi's luck, nor did he use luck as a carrier to transform the Grandmaster's domain into a physical entity. He did it entirely by his own strength. How did he accomplish this? For a moment, Donghuang Taiyi developed a strong curiosity about Yang Chong.

The road he found was at best a narrow path. Although it could reach the destination, the road was not safe. But Yang Chong was different. The road Yang Chong was now walking on was a broad road.

It is true that with the help of luck, the Grandmaster's domain can be transformed from virtual to real, but Donghuang Taiyi is also very clear that luck is inherently unstable. Although he can use the luck to materialize the domain, he will also be affected by the luck accordingly. Once the luck becomes turbulent, he himself will also be backlashed.

For a moment, Donghuang Taiyi began to doubt his previous plan. Should he continue to go to Xianyang to achieve in-depth cooperation between the Yin-Yang School and the Qin State, and then use the luck of the Qin State to complete his own transformation? Is his best opportunity in the Qin State or in the Qi State?

Donghuang Taiyi hesitated.

Yang Chong didn't know that Donghuang Taiyi had thought so much at this time, and was even thinking about whether to cooperate with him. At this time, all his energy was invested in the sword world. The huge amount of true energy turned into fuel to continuously catalyze the transformation of the sword world and help the sword world complete the evolution of sword intent.

Gradually, as Yang Chong continued to inject strength, the flames in the sword world gradually stabilized, and seven sword shadows emitting different colors appeared in the sword world.

"It appeared." A fiery glow appeared in the eyes of Xunzi and Guiguzi at the same time. They were witnessing the birth of a miracle.

However, there seems to be something wrong with the direction in which this miracle is developing.

Suddenly, one of the seven sword shadows attacked Yang Chong.

The sword was surging and surging, the sword force was turbulent and the sword energy was vast and surging, as if a tsunami was tearing the sky and splitting the earth, drowning and swallowing everything, but in front of it was only Yang Chong's lonely figure. This sword could even overturn the sea, let alone a person?
"As expected, it is this sword." Yang Chong, who was shrouded in the sword intent, laughed loudly. There was no horror on his face, but it was full of excitement. It finally appeared.

As the sword intent was raging like the sea, Yang Chong struck out with one palm. The true Qi that had been running to the limit, accompanied by the power of wind, fire, thunder and lightning, attacked the frenzy of sword intent. The two forces, which were obviously of the same origin but were now fighting against each other, violently collided with each other, and a larger energy storm raged in all directions.

Fortunately, due to the restraint of the sword world, people outside would not be harmed, but the sword world was violently shaken by the collision of the two forces.

After a long stalemate, the sword intent was finally defeated by Yang Chong and turned into a sword imprint that merged into the Taia sword at his waist.

However, before Yang Chong could stop, the second sword intent had already attacked.

"This is the sword on Dingtao City." Guiguzi watched the changes in the sword world with burning eyes. He had already seen the changes in this second sword. It was the culprit why the city wall of Dingtao City could not be completely repaired until now.

This sword is extremely powerful, sharp and fierce, containing the power to collapse mountains, break prisons, cut rocks and cut ravines. It is best at breaking through strong defenses. The irreparable cracks on Dingtao City are proof of that. However, this sword is even more ferocious than the one on Dingtao City.

This sword was indeed more powerful. It broke through Yang Chong's protective Qi with one sword, and seemed to have the momentum to kill him immediately.

However, Yang Chong's strongest point has never been defense, but offense. Since defense is not good, then he will attack. This time, Yang Chong changed his palm into a fist, constantly wearing away the sharpness of the sword intent. Without Yang Chong, the master, to provide them with endless power, the sword intent was strong, but it finally ran out of energy, and this was Yang Chong's chance.

With constant consumption, the second sword intent was integrated into the Taia Sword just like the first one, and Yang Chong, as the master, also obtained new sword skills.

"It really worked. If so, then the third sword should be Storm."

Sure enough, the third sword was as powerful as the wind. Strands of tiny sword energy gathered into a tornado. As it spun, a strong wind suddenly arose. However, Yang Chong did not know how to block this sword, and did not want to dodge it.

As Yang Chong's energy-absorbing technique, which had not been used for a long time, was put into use, his entire body turned into a huge black hole, swallowing up the entire storm.

At this time, the fourth sword had also attacked, and along with the fourth sword came the fifth sword.

The fourth sword's sword intent is extremely cold and it turns into ice swords that shoot out like a violent storm, and are indestructible. The fifth sword is filled with furnace molten lava and turns into a sky-burning flame, burning everything it touches to ashes. Hardness cannot stop it and softness is difficult to remove it. It burns the sky and boils the sea, vaporizing everything.

Two swords attacked at the same time.

"After all, it's a dead thing. Even if it has consciousness, it's incomplete." The fourth sword and the fifth sword attacked at the same time, but Yang Chong was more relaxed at this time than facing any other sword. He waved his palm and inserted it between the sword intentions. As he moved, the attack directions of the two swords had changed and they attacked each other. Although they had the power to destroy the world, at this time they could only cancel each other out.

The sixth sword did not attack Yang Chong, but broke into the earth. Cracks appeared inside the stone-paved ground. The cracks spread in all directions like a spider web, and in an instant they had spread to the entire square. Everyone present could feel the vibration under their feet.

Is this still swordsmanship? At this moment, even Guiguzi, the sword master, couldn't help but reveal a look of horror.

It was not until this moment that he realized that each of the previous swords corresponded to a natural disaster. He had not thought of this before because of his inherent cognition.

In the common people's cognition, the power of natural disasters cannot be controlled by humans, and although martial arts exist for the purpose of killing, how can an individual's killing power be compared with the killing power of heaven and earth?

But now Guiguzi has seen such power. Although these swords have not reached the level of a natural disaster, they already have the meaning of annihilation of a natural disaster. They are by no means comparable to artificially setting a fire or using true energy to condense a few hailstones.

“Is this the ultimate in kendo?” Guiguzi was not the only one whose new world was opened up to him; there were also people like Wei Zhuang.

When they entered the sword world before, they were in danger from the sword energy, and many people even died on the spot. It was impossible to say that they had no resentment.

But now, people like Wei Zhuang realized that being able to witness these swords was worth it even at the cost of blood.

This kind of swordsmanship no longer belongs to this world. It is the ultimate swordsmanship that they can see. In front of them is a higher realm of swordsmanship, a realm that they can and need to pursue.

"One man can defeat ten thousand troops. Perhaps it is not impossible." Donghuang Taiyi sighed as his mouth opened and closed under the mask.

The Grandmaster is invincible alone, but he is not the enemy of ten thousand people. It is precisely because of this that although the various schools of thought are powerful, they cannot compete with a country. But now the martial arts displayed by Yang Chong are invincible.

If one person can defeat ten thousand troops, then who in the world can do anything to him?

"Even if he is not the King of Qi, he will be one of the strongest people in the world." Donghuang Taiyi said to himself. Even with his state of mind, he couldn't help but feel envious. Who among those who practice martial arts doesn't have a dream of dominating the world?
"But you are not invincible. No matter how powerful a human being is, he cannot be invincible, because everyone has to face an enemy that is almost impossible to defeat, and that is time. In front of time, no matter how powerful you are, you can do nothing. Only by defeating time can you truly be called a strong person." Donghuang Taiyi's mind flickered, and his unstable mood stabilized again.

He will not give up his own path. There is only one path from beginning to end, and that is immortality.

Your way is different from mine. It seems that my way can only be in Qin. Yang Chong's strength made Donghuang Taiyi see another possibility, but it also made him realize that he had no chance to cooperate with Yang Chong.

But even though he cannot cooperate with Yang Chong, it does not mean that the Yin-Yang School cannot cooperate with Yang Chong.

Donghuang Taiyi's thoughts revolved around the word cooperation. He had to come up with a foolproof plan. Although Yang Chong could not be his cooperation target, he also could not cut off his contact with Yang Chong. A stone from another mountain can be used to polish a jade. The path of extinction that Yang Chong took might provide him with some hints.

"This kind of swordsmanship is certainly a great help to Yang Chong, but it may not be a good thing for King Chong of Qi. Even if Yang Chong is controlled by this swordsmanship, there will be no problem. But if King Chong of Qi is controlled by this swordsmanship, it will not be a good thing for the State of Qi, and it may even be a disaster." Xunzi showed a worried look at this time.

The ruler of a country needs to possess various qualities, including civil and military skills, political strategy and military tactics, none of which can be missing. Among these things, personal bravery is not important at all. In many cases, the so-called bravery will not only not be a help, but will become a stumbling block.

From a distant perspective, if Chi You in ancient times had not relied on his bravery and failed to cultivate moral character, he would have been attacked by the crowd and defeated and killed. Later monarchs such as Jie of Xia and Zhou of Shang were also brave enough to fight against thousands of men, but their success and failure were due to their bravery.

If we say that these people are too far away from this era and may not have practical significance, then the events of King Wu of Qin which happened several decades ago were not long ago.

King Wu of Qin was a young hero with great strength. However, after becoming the King of Qin, he insisted on lifting a tripod, and eventually died from breaking his kneecap, which made him a laughing stock.

Let me ask you, if King Wu of Qin did not have the strength of a thousand pounds, would he have been able to lift the tripod?

Yang Chong also follows a similar path. If he relies on his martial arts to act recklessly in the future, it is possible that his life will end in tragedy. A king can know martial arts, but he cannot rely solely on martial arts to act recklessly.
