The vegetation with no support in the vicinity shattered into nothingness; even the stones within a hundred feet radius showed signs of cracking.

The increasingly fierce sword intent pressed toward Shen Wang.

"Sword intent, is it?"

Shen Wang coldly said, "I have it too."

In the ocean of consciousness, before Shen Wang's soul, in addition to a sword, a blade also lit up at this moment.

For ease of use, Shen Wang went along with the flow and gathered blade intent during this period.

With the experience of gathering sword intent, this step was but a natural progression for him.

After the blade intent explosion, combining with Shen Wang's strength, it directly clashed head-on with Li Yuanning's blade intent.

A faint sound of blade collision could be heard, as the momentum pressing against Shen Wang was dispelled, causing a whirlwind of chaos.

Li Yuanning looked at Shen Wang a little longer, "Your will is pretty firm, and you have even been cultivating blade intent. I'm more curious to see just how capable you are!"

Clang!

The world dimmed as a menacingly murderous blade descended.

Shen Wang's Black Death Saber Technique originated from the opponent, and naturally, Li Yuanning's level was higher than his.

This strike was impeccable, leaving no room for criticism.

Shen Wang continued his incantation, raising a thick shield of Wood Attribute in front of him.

Like the sound of chopping wood echoing through the mountains, with a crack, the wooden shield was broken.

Shen Wang withdrew, dodging a powerful descending slash, observing the blade Qi creating a fracture upon landing, yet he still refrained from using the Black Death Blade.

It's simple; since the other is the originator of the Black Death Saber Technique, his Black Death Blade was weaker, so why rush to embarrass himself?

It's better to use magic when possible, to deplete the opponent's strength as much as possible.

"Did you really create the Black Death Saber Technique?"

Shen Wang questioned, as the opponent continued to cultivate the Black Death Saber Technique after taking possession instead of cultivating a more powerful saber technique, suggesting this saber technique still had even stronger moves.

"What do you think?"

Li Yuanning's aura was still growing, "The Black Death Saber Technique was originally a sword manual from the Demon Suppression Department, a heritage from within. You learned the Black Death Saber Technique, so you should join the Demon Suppression Department."

"I'll consider joining after killing you."

Shen Wang replied.

"Hehe, great! You finally revealed your thoughts. Come on, kill me!"

Li Yuanning laughed in fury, "If you were a Golden Core Martial King, it'd be different, but as a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, how dare you say such words? Today, I'll show you what a Golden Core Martial King is, what the complete Black Death Saber Technique is!"

"First move, Black Tiger Descending Mountain!"

Li Yuanning leapt up with a chopping strike, the black Evil Qi truly transforming into a black tiger resembling a small building, leaping down from the mountains, fierce and violent, swift as the wind.

Shen Wang continued using the Wooden Shield, this time paired with thorny bushes, generating thorns around the Wooden Shield, initially entangling the black tiger.

Although the thorns shattered after approaching, they successfully consumed a portion of power, getting hit by the tiger, shattering the Wooden Shield with a thunderous sound.

Shen Wang had already retreated ten zhang away, the Essence Qi of the nearby vegetation quickly converging onto him, bit by bit, forming a green radiance.

"It truly is Black Tiger Descending Mountain. It seems you have specifically observed tiger forms, gathered tiger intent."

Shen Wang mused, for the same technique, his form wasn't lacking, only his intent was deficient.

"Hmph, I observed tigers for three years, bringing this move to the point of perfection, considered a second-grade divine technique. Let's see how many more moves you can block."

He used the second move, Heaven-piercing Evil Qi!

Boom!

The air trembled, and the world turned completely dark, the terrifying Evil Qi covering the sky, breaking through the clouds as if to engulf Shen Wang.

If Shen Wang's Evil Qi was like a lake, Li Yuanning's Qi was like a volcano, the sudden outbreak shaking the heavens and the earth, far more terrifying than the previous Black Tiger Descending Mountain.

Shen Wang's expression kept changing as Li Yuanning cultivated the saber technique to the point of mastery, each move's power exceeding the original level, and the second strike was more powerful than the first!

Then I'll use more advanced Wood Attribute Magic.

"Wood Wall Technique!"

Intermediate Magic, stronger than the Giant Wood Shield Technique.

Shen Wang quickly sealed, releasing a lot of Wood Attribute Spiritual Essence, combining it with the external Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and vegetation Essence Qi. Numerous vines were birthed in front of him, rapidly growing, tightly intertwined into a wall.

The Wood Wall, whether in area or thickness, surpassed the Giant Wood Shield, the layers of vines weaving together with special resilience.

The explosive blade Qi crashed onto the Wood Wall like a torrent, slicing through layer after layer of vines, but as subsequent vines wriggled, they overcame the hardness with softness, completely grinding away the remaining blade Qi.

In the end, the Wood Wall was blasted open at one point, the surrounding vegetation shattered, the ground carved into a large pit.

Shen Wang retreated once more, glancing at the withered vegetation, while the healthy vegetation behind continued to provide him power.

With Li Yuanning's dominance, his defenses were slightly weaker each time, so he retreated accordingly, saving energy while switching to new vegetation.

With a forest providing recovery, Shen Wang could completely wage a prolonged battle with Li Yuanning.

Li Yuanning realized Shen Wang's intentions, accelerating his attack, the third move closely following, unwilling to give Shen Wang another chance to cast magic.

Third move, Body Separation!

Li Yuanning, as if beheading countless times, resembled the most terrifying executioner, slicing swiftly and decisively, giving Shen Wang no chance to cast magic again.

With no other option, Shen Wang pulled out the Black Death Blade, one wave of red Vigorous Qi exploding, blocking in front of his neck.

Clang!

Even though his Dragon-Suppressing Force had reached the third layer and his body was comparable to a magical artifact, Shen Wang was still blasted backward by one strike.

Though Shen Wang's physical body had improved, even its strength surpassing Li Yuanning's, there was still a gap in cultivation; the physical body's improvement only barely compensating for the difference in cultivation between the two.
