Chapter 737: Snatching the Sword

Small-scale cultivator fights emphasize planning, strategy, and various means, with many variables.Large-scale cultivator battles, when gathered together like a swarm rushing to kill, instead emphasize simple attack and defense conversion.If one side has an advantage in attack and defense, the chances of winning are relatively high.The conflict with Duan Jin Sect is also like this.With Ke Jin armor, one can defend against Jin system Dao methods. In equivalent cultivation situations, once they rush in to kill, they will have the upper hand.But this is against ordinary Duan Jin Sect disciples.Ordinary Duan Jin Sect disciples cultivate Jin system cultivation methods and use Jin spiritual power spells and martial arts.Even if they cultivate sword art, they cultivate ordinary Jin system sword art or entry-level Duan Jin Royal Sword Art.Ke Jin armor can defend against this.But core disciples are different."What kind of 'human-sword unity' is that higher level?" Mo Hua asked.This is something orthodox sword cultivators emphasize, and it seems to have little to do with him."Body cultivators rely on their physical bodies, spirit cultivators rely on their Qi sea, and a sword cultivator's entire cultivation depends heavily on their sword weapon.""Sword cultivators with a sword and sword cultivators without a sword are completely two types of cultivators, with a heaven-and-earth difference.""There is a saying in the cultivation world: a sword cultivator with a sword is a dragon, a sword cultivator without a sword is not as good as a dog. Although it's somewhat exaggerated, you can see how important a sword weapon is to a sword cultivator from this."Although Si Tu explained it well, Mo Hua never truly felt it.But using it to restrain Duan Jin Sword Art was just wishful thinking."Duan Jin Royal Sword Art..."A sword cultivator without a sword, are they still called a sword cultivator?Mo Hua suddenly realized something.Compare it to the sword art used by the trafficker Jiang old big, who stole the inheritance of Duan Jin Sect and rebelled against the sect. Its power was much stronger.It's also impossible for Duan Jin Sect to have been in the Qian Xue twelve streams for so long.Si Tu Jian shook his head, "That involves profound sword intent, which I haven't cultivated to, so I don't understand it much."He now realized that he seemed to have underestimated this sword art.Mo Hua silently recited in his heart.Si Tu Jian was startled, then nodded, "That is natural.""Therefore, all sword cultivators treat their spirit swords as precious treasures, and they all dream of and yearn for a supreme divine sword weapon.""Alright," Mo Hua nodded.Thinking about using Ke Jin armor, restraining common Jin system Dao methods is still fine.Mo Hua decided to do some research...In the disciple residence dining hall, Mo Hua rested his cheek on his hand, thought for a while, then asked Si Tu Jian beside him:"Si Tu, is a sword cultivator's spirit sword very important?"Si Tu Jian had a longing in his heart as he spoke."How important specifically?" Mo Hua asked again."Oh..."His own inheritance is not considered orthodox, so its power naturally cannot compare with these core direct disciples.But hard to restrain doesn't necessarily mean there are no means of restraint."Initial level human-sword unity refers to the fusion of a cultivator's spiritual power with their spirit sword, thereby generating stronger sword Qi."He decided to try everything, although it might not necessarily succeed."But if you don't try, then you are destined to fail.""A good sword weapon can make a sword cultivator like a tiger with wings, even 'reversing heaven and changing fate'."Si Tu Jian pondered for a while and said: "Sword art is a special kind of Dao method. This Dao method emphasizes human-sword unity."He was just the opposite.This kind of sword Qi, amplified by a superior Jin sword, has even greater power.Jiang old big's sword art was stolen.Most core disciples of Duan Jin Sect have superior sword cultivator aptitude, cultivate the most orthodox Duan Jin Royal Sword Art, and wear superior Jin system spirit swords.Mo Hua had self-awareness. His foundation was really too poor, and he had no family background. On the path of orthodox sword cultivation, he was not only a thousand eight hundred steps behind others, but also destined not to walk far...As one of the twelve streams, Duan Jin Sect's town sect sword art has a long inheritance, far from being as simple as he thought.Thinking about it, if it were really that easy to restrain, with the conduct of Duan Jin Sect disciples, they would have been beaten to the point of losing all their teeth long ago. It would be impossible for them to still be so arrogant.A small part of the power of their sword art comes from Jin system spiritual power, but its core might comes from pure Duan Jin sword Qi.Compared to Mo Hua's own cultivated, amateur Duan Jin sword Qi, its strength is immeasurably greater.Regarding the unity of sword Qi and sword weapon, compared to other sword cultivators, he is basically completely ignorant.But regarding sword intent, he is quite familiar with it.After all, he had already learned the "Hua Sword" style of transforming divine sense into a sword.It's just that his crude "Hua Sword style" and the divine sense sword it produces probably don't count as orthodox sword intent."Then why does a sword weapon amplify the power of sword Qi?" Mo Hua asked again.Up to now, the means he had seen that could amplify spiritual power were only the Five Elements Source Array and drawing on the Five Elements Source Array of the Five Elements Source Armor.Other than this, all spirit tools had no "spiritual power amplification" effect.And the Five Elements Source Array is the Five Elements Sect's town sect ultimate technique, and at the same time, it is extremely difficult to learn and hard to pass on.Currently, it seems that only he has the Five Elements Source Armor.But sword weapons are different. Although the method of forging swords is scarce, it is a treasure of various large families and sects, and its outward spread is prohibited. But compared to the Five Elements Source Array, it is relatively "popular".Mo Hua thought for a while and added:"Because of the sword array?""Yes," said Si Tu Jian, "A spirit sword can amplify sword Qi precisely because a sword array is sealed and stored inside the spirit sword during casting. The sword and the array are one.""By injecting spiritual power into the spirit sword like this, and circulating it through the sword array, the sword Qi generated is even sharper."Mo Hua asked again: "Have you seen the sword array?""No," Si Tu Jian shook his head, "Sword array inheritance is a core secret of the family. Even direct line array masters within the clan cannot easily learn it.""It requires such strictness?""Very strict," Si Tu Jian said solemnly, "I'm not too clear about other families, but just taking the Si Tu family as an example, the inheritance of the Li Fire Sword Array is extremely strict...""Non-my clan people are not taught, those who marry in are not taught, those who marry out are not taught, and non-direct lines are not taught. Even if they are direct lines, if they want to learn the sword array, they must sign a 'death contract' and make a vow that the person can die, but the method cannot be passed on. Only then can they gain the qualification to learn the sword array..."Mo Hua was somewhat speechless when he heard this.He had only heard Gu Master mention before that sword array is a core inheritance of sword Dao families and is very precious.He just didn't expect it to be so precious...But the more so, the more curious he was in his heart.What exactly does a sword array look like...He wanted to find a way to get one to research.Mo Hua's mind stirred, and he involuntarily sized up the Li Fire Sword hidden in Si Tu Jian's scabbard.Si Tu Jian was startled in his heart and subconsciously protected the Li Fire Sword in his hand.The two looked at each other, and Mo Hua softly asked:"Can I have a look?"Si Tu Jian's expression was tangled, "Little senior brother, you... you won't dismantle it, will you?"Mo Hua immediately nodded, "No, no! I'll just look..."Seeing that Si Tu Jian was still reluctant, Mo Hua then said:"Just here, just take a couple of looks."Si Tu Jian then reluctantly handed over the Li Fire Sword, which he always wore and regarded as his life, to Mo Hua.Mo Hua took it over solemnly and found it to be heavy and slightly hot.The sword blade was cast from something unknown, crystal clear like jade, sharp like iron, with a faint fiery red flow.Mo Hua narrowed his eyes and looked at the hilt of the Li Fire Sword again, wanting to see if there was a gap where it could be dismantled.Si Tu Jian immediately became nervous.Fortunately, Mo Hua had no plans to actually dismantle it.He carefully examined it for a circle and found no place to start. Then, he solemnly returned the Li Fire Sword to Si Tu Jian, saying, "Thank you."Si Tu Jian seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden. He took the Li Fire Sword and immediately put it away.When the Li Fire Sword was in Mo Hua's hand, he always felt on tenterhooks.Mo Hua then sank into his own thoughts.The Li Fire Sword is Si Tu's treasure, so it's not good to start with it. If he really breaks it, it would be too regrettable.Mo Hua thought for a while, then said to Si Tu Jian:"Next ten-day break, let's go into Refine Demon Mountain and get a few spirit swords from Duan Jin Sect..."Part of the power of sword Qi comes from the sword array.Dismantling a Duan Jin sword can both research the sword array and research how to improve Ke Jin armor to defend against true Duan Jin sword Qi.Si Tu Jian shook his head again, "Even if we rob them, it might be useless. Spirit swords generally have self-destruct arrays drawn inside. Once forcibly dismantled, the sword array will self-destruct..."Mo Hua was startled, pondered for a while, and felt that it made sense.Since this sword array is so precious, it is normal to have some sealed self-destruct means.But although he said so, he still wanted to rob them.He would know whether it could be dismantled or not after he robbed them back."No matter, let's rob some first and see." Mo Hua said.Si Tu Jian still wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly something felt wrong, and he immediately realized that if the little senior brother didn't go to rob Duan Jin swords, with his curiosity about arrays and his persistent nature, he would sooner or later set his sights on his own Li Fire Sword...Si Tu Jian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly nodded, saying:"Yes, correct! We should definitely rob them! If we don't rob a few and dismantle them, how will we know if they will self-destruct or not?""Little senior brother, I'll help you rob them together!"It doesn't matter if the Duan Jin Sect's Duan Jin swords are dismantled, as long as his Li Fire Sword is not dismantled, it's fine.Mo Hua was greatly moved.Si Tu Jian was also promoted to a "great good person" in his heart.A few days later, the ten-day break arrived again.Mo Hua called on Cheng Mo, Si Tu Jian, and others, a group of five people, and went to Refine Demon Mountain again.Mo Hua did not let other disciples come.Mo Hua considered that before the Ke Jin armor was well optimized and the problem of Duan Jin sword Qi was solved, the probability of his group of little junior brothers and sisters being injured would greatly increase, which would be a loss.Moreover, this time they were going to "rob" things, emphasizing light packing and simplicity, quick fights and quick decisions. Too many people are not good.Upon entering Refine Demon Mountain, Mo Hua was familiar with the road and quickly discovered a small group of Duan Jin Sect disciples.There were eight of them in a group, led by a "little white face" who looked like a young master.Mo Hua's gaze swept over, and his divine sense slightly sensed their strength, giving him a rough judgment.Their cultivation was all pure Foundation Establishment mid-stage.Three body cultivators, two spirit cultivators, and the other three were all sword cultivators.Body cultivators and spirit cultivators without swords had nothing good to rob.It was mainly those three sword cultivators.They each carried a gold-colored spirit sword, and the one carried by the "little white face" at the head had the best quality, flashing with gold light.The more Mo Hua looked, the more he liked it.He decided that from now on, this sword's surname was "Mo".These few Duan Jin Sect disciples were completely unaware of the approaching danger. They were still searching the mountain while chatting idly:"Those cowards from Tai Xu Sect are not to be seen...""Don't dare to come?""Afraid they know how fierce our Duan Jin Sect is and have self-knowledge, credit to them for being sensible."Someone snorted coldly, "Dare to oppose our Duan Jin Sect, they must have eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard."Someone else was uneasy, "That group of kids from Tai Xu Sect are very insidious. If they don't appear, I'm afraid they're up to something bad. We should still be careful..."The "little white face" at the head didn't think so, "No harm, this vast mountain and wild, are now all our Duan Jin Sect disciples. How dare they..."Before he could finish speaking, he saw a disciple suddenly rush out from nowhere, tall and strong, who struck down with a double axe, catching off guard a complacent and lax Duan Jin Sect disciple.The little white face was startled, then his face changed drastically."Enemy attack!"But before they could react, Yang Qian Jun rushed out again, his spear like a dragon, stabbing and flipping another Duan Jin Sect disciple from behind.And Si Tu Jian's Li Fire Sword arrived in a flash.With a roaring Li Fire and sharp sword Qi, it caught off guard and stabbed one Duan Jin Sect disciple in the leg.That Duan Jin Sect disciple wailed and knelt on the ground.Si Tu Jian succeeded with one strike and didn't stop, but immediately urged twelve points of spiritual power and continued to the next disciple.He made an extra effort this time, silently saying in his heart:I must help little senior brother rob a Duan Jin sword!To prevent little senior brother from setting his sights on his own Li Fire Sword again.The little white face, who was a core disciple of Duan Jin Sect, was greatly angered by the situation. He was just about to royal sword against the enemy, but his sword was only halfway drawn when he felt a sudden pain at the back of his head and became dizzy."Blunt stick?!"The little white face was dazed for a moment, immediately reacted, and took out a gold body talisman, just about to urge it.But as soon as he took out his gold body talisman, a fireball whistled over and exploded on his arm.He was in pain, his hand shook, and the gold body talisman immediately fell to the ground. By the time he wanted to bend down to pick it up, it was too late.Hao Xuan had already kicked the gold body talisman away with one foot.On the other side, how could these ordinary Duan Jin Sect disciples be opponents of Cheng Mo and the others, who were experienced, well-coordinated, and had received some "influence" from Mo Hua?Caught off guard by the sneak attack, in just over ten rounds, four people were taken down, and the other three shrank back, not daring to step forward.Cheng Mo and the others began to focus their fire on the little white face.Seeing that the situation was not right, the little white face immediately displayed the Escape Gold Body Method and wanted to escape.His movement technique was very good. With a flash of gold light, he was already several zhang away.While escaping, he still didn't forget to release a harsh statement, "Despicable villains, just you wait, I'll..."Before he could finish speaking, a blue light flashed, and a chain came from the air, tying him up tightly.The little white face was greatly shocked."What kind of spell is this?"He still wanted to struggle, but Cheng Mo had already arrived in front of him with large strides, placing his two large axe heads on the little white face's neck.The little white face cursed inwardly and said angrily:"A bunch of trash! You..."Cheng Mo kicked him, and the little white face ate the pain, covering his belly, and swallowed back the remaining dirty words.Mo Hua was also not polite. His hand was like lightning, and without anyone noticing, he grabbed the Duan Jin Sword at the little white face's waist, stuffed it into his bosom, and then without any hesitation, decisively said:"Withdraw!"He had already sensed that other Duan Jin Sect disciples had heard the sound and were rushing over, and their number seemed quite large.At this time, they should withdraw if they could, and it was not suitable to get too entangled.Cheng Mo and the others also nodded in succession.Then the group of five people withdrew like a thunderous wind.The little white face was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and looked, only then realizing that his Duan Jin Sword at his waist was gone, he didn't know when."My sword!"For a moment, anger attacked his heart.He raised his head again and looked around, it was empty, and the figures of those few people were already gone."A bunch of bastards! I won't let you go!"The little white face said through clenched teeth.But after a moment, a group of Duan Jin Sect disciples surrounded him and inquired about his well-being."Brother Song, are you alright?"The little white face's face was pale with anger.Did he look alright with this bunch of trash?His abdomen was still burning with pain, but at this time, he didn't have time to care about these things. The Duan Jin Sword was important.This was a spirit sword embryo that he had nurtured for a long time, preparing to use it as his life spirit sword."My sword was robbed!"When the crowd heard this, their expressions became solemn."Go!" the little white face said angrily, "Find those several little bastards and get my sword back!""Yes!"The Duan Jin Sect disciples successively nodded in agreement.Duan Jin Sect has two major families, one surnamed "Jin" and one surnamed "Song".This little white face surnamed Song was precisely the most core direct line of another branch within Duan Jin Sect, other than the Jin family.Ordinary disciples basically dare not neglect his command.After that, the Duan Jin Sect disciples gathered together and began to search the mountain.They originally thought that with so many disciples, it would be easy to pull out a few Tai Xu Sect disciples.But soon, they discovered their mistake.Mo Hua and the others seemed to have disappeared in the mountain, leaving no trace at all.These Duan Jin Sect disciples were all Foundation Establishment mid-stage, and their divine sense was at most fourteen patterns.With their divine sense, they basically couldn't discover Mo Hua, who had seventeen patterns of divine sense and a change in the quality of his divine thought.What's more, this was still in Refine Demon Mountain.Mo Hua was now as familiar with the outer mountain of Refine Demon Mountain as the back of his hand. Walking in the mountain was as familiar and composed as walking in his own courtyard.Trying to find Mo Hua in the mountain was no different from fishing for a needle in the sea.Therefore, until Mo Hua had already embraced the little white face's Duan Jin spirit sword, left Refine Demon Mountain, and returned to Tai Xu Sect.The Duan Jin Sect disciples were still randomly searching in the mountain like headless flies.But the sky was already dark, and the demon beasts in the mountain intervals began to become restless. They dared not stay in the mountain any longer and had to give up and return to the sect.The little white face whose spirit sword was robbed by Mo Hua returned to Duan Jin Sect with a gloomy face, but at the entrance of the disciple residence, he met a thin and tall senior brother of Duan Jin Sect with Foundation Establishment late stage cultivation.This person was precisely Jin Gui.Jin Gui saw this little white face, a smile piled up on his face, and he cupped his hand in greeting, saying:"Master brother Song Jian."The little white face, called "Song Jian", frowned when he heard this, but also perfunctorily returned a sound, "Senior brother Jin."But his attitude appeared neither warm nor cold.The two major families of Duan Jin Sect, the Jin family and the Song family, were originally not harmonious.In the positions of real power within the sect, from the sect master, vice sect master, all the way to the elders and instructors, the two families fought and grabbed each other, and not a few grudges were tied.It's just that they belonged to the same sect, so they didn't tear each other's faces on the surface."How was the mountain patrol?" Jin Gui asked with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.Song Jian's face was ugly, but he still truthfully said:"Tai Xu Sect is despicable. The large batch of disciples didn't dare to show their faces, only a minority of disciples shamelessly sneak attacked and robbed my Duan Jin Sword..."He lost his sword too?Jin Gui laughed coldly in his heart, and then sighed falsely, saying:"A spirit sword is as important as life to a sword cultivator. How could Master brother Song even lose his spirit sword..."How could Song Jian not hear the sarcasm in his words? He was slightly angry in his heart, and changed his words, saying:"Senior brother is right, even if I lose face, this sword absolutely cannot be lost."Jin Gui was startled, and his face instantly turned iron blue.This was mocking him for being stripped and having a turtle drawn on him and hung on a tree.The two hurt each other in the dark.Jin Gui then said with a smile: "Do you want me to find some Jin family disciples tomorrow to help Master brother Song get his sword back?""No need," Song Jian said coldly, "My Song family's lost things will definitely be seized back. If my Song family can't seize them back, your Jin family definitely won't be able to either..."The two looked at each other calmly, their gazes not good.Finally, Jin Gui smiled, "Then Master brother Song, take care of yourself."Song Jian also said: "Senior brother Jin, seek more fortune for yourself."After that, the two's expressions turned cold, they brushed past each other's shoulders, and at the same time snorted coldly in their hearts:It's not certain yet whether this Duan Jin Sect is surnamed Jin or surnamed Song...After brushing past each other's shoulders, both returned to the disciple residence, but they thought about various encounters, each feeling indignant in their hearts, and another thought surged up.Jin Gui's eyes were red, and he slapped the table, shattering it:"That little ghost who drew a turtle on me, one day, I will shatter his corpse into ten thousand pieces!"Song Jian pinched and shattered a teacup, his face annoyed:"That little bastard who robbed my Duan Jin spirit sword, in the end, I will make him repay a hundred times!"And at this moment, Mo Hua, who had drawn a turtle on Jin Gui's body and robbed the spirit sword from Song Jian, was just in the disciple residence, as if nothing had happened, concentrating on researching the gold-light-shining Duan Jin Sword in his hand.This is a very famous spirit sword.He was considering whether he could dismantle this Duan Jin Sword.If he dismantled it, could he get the sword array inside?If he got the sword array, did that mean...He could also forge a true spirit sword himself?Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and he was filled with endless anticipation in his heart.(The chapter ends)
