Chapter Thirty-Five: Breakthrough

  Just as the English herdsman shouted, one of the Samsung swordsmen directly raised his long sword and shouted at Haitian: "Boy! I Pattebon want to see how you can withstand my attack with your nine-segment sword power!"

  As he spoke, Patern directly raised his long sword, and a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from his body. Countless sword spirits began to rapidly condense. A ball of light also lit up on the long sword.

  He has already transmitted the sword spirit power in his body to the long sword, which is the most effective means of attack.

  In just an instant, Pat had already concentrated the sword's spiritual energy on his long sword, and with a cold laugh, he stabbed at Haitian's abdomen. A triumphant smile even appeared on the corner of his mouth, as he didn't believe Haitian could withstand this swift and fierce strike.

  The Australian Shepherd nearby was stunned by the scene, he clearly remembered that Cole had asked him to take good care of Haitian, and if Pattebon was killed, he would be mainly responsible.

  Cold sweat instantly rolled down from his forehead. Although the English Shepherd was the Sword King, he was now being squeezed out by the crowd. If he were to force his way in, he would certainly be able to rescue Hai Tian, but the disciples of Jianlan Sect present would definitely be injured by him.

  "Damn it! Forget it!" The English Shepherd hesitated for a moment before deciding to take action. If something happened to Hai Tian, he would also be in trouble.

  However, before he could make a move, Pat's long sword flashing with white light had already stabbed towards Haitian in an instant, scaring Yingmu to shout loudly: "Kid! Run quickly!"

  Upon hearing the English Shepherd's call, Hai Tian did not dodge, but instead smiled eerily in the direction of the English Shepherd. With his hands clasped together, he slowly opened them up, and a bright red light ball appeared between his hands.

  It instantly spread throughout the body, forming a huge thin membrane.

  The long sword shining with white light did not reduce its speed, and stabbed fiercely. But before it could stab into Haitian's abdomen, it completely stopped coming down, and the surrounding crowd including Patte himself were all shocked with their mouths wide open.

  "How is this possible!" Pat exclaimed loudly at once.

  His long sword was completely blocked by the red membrane and couldn't advance even a little bit.

  The Shepherd outside the crowd was amazed, and Hai Tian's cultivation speed was so fast that it surprised him. But Hai Tian was just a nine-segment sword force child after all, how could he possibly withstand Pattebon, a three-star swordsman?

  The fact is before his eyes and he cannot but believe it.

  "What's going on? Why can't I get in at all?" Pat shouted in surprise, feeling an enormous pressure coming from the tip of the sword. If he hadn't been desperately pouring his spiritual energy into the longsword at that moment, he would have probably been bounced back already.

  "This... this is swordsmanship!" The English Shepherd standing outside the crowd was the first to exclaim, "And at least mid-yellow rank or higher in terms of swordsmanship!"

  "Yellow rank intermediate and above sword techniques?" The disciples of Jianxuan Sect present were all agape, although Jianxuan Sect was very large, even the sect master Jiu Xingjian Huang could only wield Xuan rank beginner sword techniques.

  Sword techniques are extremely precious to them. Only great swordsmen have the talent to learn sword techniques, ordinary disciples don't even qualify.

  He glanced at the English Shepherd beside him and smiled, "No wonder you're the Sword King, you can see that. Yes, this move is called Protective Light Ball, a high-level yellow-grade sword technique."

  "Yellow Tier Advanced!" Everyone in the scene took a cold breath, especially Patte and others. They didn't even have the qualifications to learn sword techniques yet, but Hai Tian actually used Yellow Tier Advanced sword techniques directly.

  The English Shepherd on the side felt more and more mysterious as he looked at the sea and sky, thinking that since Coru personally brought him here, it already showed that he was not ordinary. With such a crazy cultivation speed, and also having high-level sword techniques, his background must be impressive.

  "It's said that coming but not going is impolite, since you want to find trouble with me, I won't be too polite to you!" Hai Tian coldly smiled and suddenly his body surface surged with a large amount of red light, countless sword spirits frantically gushing out.

  Pat heard Hai Tian's words and knew something was wrong, so he hastily shouted: "Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"

  But before he had finished speaking, a crisp "crack" sound came through.

  "What's this noise?" The crowd was puzzled.

  Suddenly, one of the disciples pointed at Patebon's long sword and exclaimed: "Look quickly, a crack has appeared on the long sword!"

  Everyone looked on with admiration, and the sword tip actually appeared with cracks, which were still expanding. Wherever was wrapped in red light, all turned to dust.

  "What are you doing? Stop it!" Pat was so anxious she almost cried.

  Will Hai Tian listen to his words? Obviously not.

  In just a few seconds, the long sword in Pat's hand was left with only a hilt, and everything else turned to dust. The low-level disciples of Jianxuan Sect present looked at Haitian in a daze, as if they had completely forgotten that he was just a small nine-segment sword force.

  "Hmph! This time is just a warning, next time if you come to find me trouble again, it won't be so easy." Hai Tian coldly snorted and walked towards his own hut.

  None of the disciples of Jianlan Sect dared to stop him along the way, they were all scared by Haitian at this moment.

  This is not to say that Hai Tian is so powerful, but in fact, Hai Tian's strength is the lowest among everyone.

  However, the swordsmanship he displayed at first had already stunned everyone, and the fact that he had just turned Pat's long sword into powder also made everyone fearful of him in their hearts.

  After all, the long swords in their hands were ordinary iron, not refined swordsmen, and they absolutely could not withstand such a huge sword spirit power. As soon as they reached that limit, they would collapse.

  Looking in the direction where Haitian had left, Ying Mu sank into thought for a moment before loudly shouting at the low-level disciples who were still in a daze: "Alright, everyone quickly come back to your senses, we will continue the competition."

  Although he said so, he could also see that everyone had been completely intimidated by Haitian and would not be able to recover without a period of time.

  Haitian returned to his small hut and didn't bother with the low-ranking disciples of Jianlan Sect outside. He was clear that today he had only taken advantage of Jian technique, if it were based on real strength, he would absolutely not be a match for anyone outside.

  Strength! He urgently needs to increase his strength!

  Releasing the Cold Ice Jade Bed, Hai Tian sat on it and planned to take this opportunity to make a breakthrough towards becoming a One-Star Sword Master.

  After checking myself, most of the sword spirit power I consumed has been recovered.

  Taking a deep breath, Hai Tian closed his eyes and began to cultivate according to the method recorded in the "Nine Heavenly Divine Sword Manual".

  Innumerable heavenly and earthly spiritual energies quickly gathered around Haitian's body, with a density that far exceeded the past. The spiritual energy in the air had almost condensed into **.

  Haitian carefully absorbed all the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy into his body, transforming it into his own sword spirit power.

  At the same time, Hai Tian transferred this sword spirit power into the massive vortex in his dantian, which had a large amount of fresh spiritual energy supplementing it. The speed of the vortex's rotation became faster and faster.

  The milky white sword spirit above the whirlpool also emitted a soft white light and gradually began to heat up.

  At this time, he should have started condensing his sword spirit. But now, Hai Tian was somewhat confused, and he didn't know what to do at this moment?

  To say that he has already condensed a sword spirit, isn't it impossible for him to condense another one?

  The sword spirit is the core inside the swordsman's body, hiding his soul. If he wants to re-condense the sword spirit, isn't that saying he has to split his soul in two? That's extremely painful, and if he's not careful, he might end up exploding and dying.

  Suddenly, Hai Tian felt the sword spirit in his body rapidly expanding, the white light becoming increasingly dazzling, and the temperature emitted also rising higher.

  "What's going on?" Hai Tian was shocked, he hastily cut off the connection between the sword spirit and the whirlpool below, but it didn't work at all. The sword spirit actually started to directly absorb and transform the sword spirit power from within his body.

  The majestic sword spirit power also lost the control of Hai Tian, and frantically surged into the sword spirit, making it further expand.

  Generally speaking, as the later cultivation progresses, the sword spirit will also slowly grow larger. However, when it grows to just one foot in length, it will completely stop.

  However, Hai Tian's sword spirit has now reached two feet and is still growing continuously.

  Even Ha Tian, who had rich experience in the past, couldn't understand it at all now.

  "What the hell is going on?" Haotian felt that as the sword spirit expanded, its interior was becoming increasingly unstable. After all, the sword spirit contained the most refined energy and soul of the swordsman.

  Once an explosion occurs, the soul will definitely be damaged and it is impossible to survive again.

  Now Haitian finally understood what Koro said earlier, that when the predecessors of Jianlan Sect broke through to become a one-star swordsman, not one survived, and they all died in self-explosion.

  "I cannot die! I still have loved ones to protect and a great vengeance to exact!" Haitian's heart became increasingly flustered.

  Looking back, Xiaoyu had always followed behind him, shouting "Tian Ge Tian Ge". Looking back, he himself had narrowly escaped death, miraculously surviving the nine-layered cave mansion and reuniting with his loved ones, Hai Tian's heart became extremely agitated.

  Loved ones, this word may be ordinary for others, but it's hard to come by for him.

  He, who was once a sword god, felt an extreme sense of loneliness. The feeling of being in a high place and not being able to win made him cherish his current relationships even more.

  "I won't die! I absolutely won't die!" Haitian suddenly opened his eyes and let out a frantic loud roar.

  In an instant, countless white lights shot up into the sky, and all the heavenly spiritual energy of the entire Sword Lushan Mountain madly surged towards the Sea Sky Pavilion at the waist of the mountain. This scene immediately startled everyone on Sword Lushan Mountain.

  In the rear hall of the mountain top, the old man in purple clothes, Tansan, suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed through his cloudy gaze. His eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Could it be that this kid succeeded?"

  It wasn't just Tanzan, the second and third generation disciples on the mountaintop were also completely shocked by this majestic sword spirit power. One by one, they left their own practice places and rushed towards the mountain waist.
