Gu Yuan felt a tightness around him, as if the air had solidified into steel, pressing and repelling him from all directions.

Clang!

The Silver Flood Dragon Sword let out a long cry, slicing through the invisible confinement, and then transformed into a dazzling sword light over ten meters long. It surged forward like a mesmerizing silver flood dragon, swinging its head and tail.

Rip——

The fierce sword light tore through the demonic claw, easily splitting it in half, while simultaneously unleashing sword qi that shattered and obliterated the hidden ghostly flames within the demonic qi.

Gu Yuan saw it clearly; although the demonic claw was formidable, these ghostly flames were the true killing blow.

These ghostly flames were a fearsome divine technique, refined from ghostly yin flame, sinister and vicious, capable of incinerating a person's divine soul and thoughts. Clinging to one's body, it was like maggots on a bone, until the person was completely burned to ashes.

If Gu Yuan was still the same person he was before apprenticing to He Ling True Master, without the Silver Flood Dragon Sword and with no advancement in swordsmanship, Chen Qi could have captured and killed him on the spot with just this strike!

However, after receiving instruction and transmission from He Ling True Master, Gu Yuan's swordsmanship improved greatly, and with the top-grade magical artifact, the silver flood dragon sword, as a deadly protective evil sword in his hand, his combat strength and power had increased by more than tenfold!

Previously, with Celestial Human Realm cultivators like the old fiend Xuan You and the elder named Wu, Gu Yuan was confident he could kill them within ten strikes.

But against a demonic giant like the Three Corpses Elder, even a mere avatar was far more terrifying than characters like the old fiend Xuan You and the elder named Wu!

Moreover, Gu Yuan himself was now merely at the peak of an Innate Martial Master.

This made it apparent that his swordsmanship had reached an extremely high level.

"Your swordsmanship is not bad, but that's all it is."

The Three Corpses Elder commented indifferently, immediately flicking a finger, sending out a gray light.

The gray light was dim and, in a flash, struck the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, erupting with a dull explosive thunderous roar!

Boom!

The thunder roared, echoing in all directions.

The sword light and thunder light clashed; the sword light shattered, reverting to the form of the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, which whimpered as it retreated to Gu Yuan's side.

On the blade of the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, a gray-black filthy energy coiled, trying to corrode the blade.

"Yin Thunder Skill…"

Gu Yuan's heart sank; he wiped his hand over the blade, and his purest Primordial True Qi circulated, cleansing the blade of the filthy energy.

The Silver Flood Dragon Sword rang with a clang, restoring its original appearance.

The Yin Thunder Skill is a kind of thunder skill, also a powerful divine technique!

Though its power is not as great as the Yang Thunder Skill, it excels at defiling the magical body and corroding magical artifacts, making it more insidiously vicious.

This divine technique is often cultivated by demonic cultivators.

The Three Corpses Elder is already extremely difficult to deal with, and with the Yin Thunder divine technique, he becomes even more troublesome!

Bzzt Bzzt Bzzt——

The Silver Flood Dragon Sword, hovering around Gu Yuan's side, hummed loudly, transforming into twelve streaks of sword light. They divided and formed a mysterious array, trapping the Three Corpses Elder within.

"Sword Light Division? Ha…"

The Three Corpses Elder chuckled lightly: "No matter how many Sword Cultivators mastered the Sword Qi Thunder Sound, I've killed countless."

He formed seals with his hands, a thunder light shot out from behind him, also dividing into twelve and becoming electric snakes that wound around the sword light.

These electric snakes seemed like living creatures, tightly binding the sword light.

The Three Corpses Elder himself seemed to enter a land without obstacles, leisurely walking up to Gu Yuan:

"So, Gu boy, even now, do you still intend to resist?"

Without the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, Gu Yuan seemed almost no different from an ordinary person in his eyes.

Crackle——

The Three Corpses Elder raised his palm, wrapped in streaks of thunder light, forming a sinister unihorned giant python. It opened its maw, full of sharp teeth, biting towards Gu Yuan!

But at this moment, a long sword entirely of pure silver appeared in Gu Yuan's palm, its blade dazzling and thin, exuding a chilling light—it was the Silver Flood Dragon Sword!

In contrast, the twelve sword lights bound by the electric snakes scattered and vanished without a trace.

Gu Yuan raised the long sword, releasing a slender sword light, thin as spider silk and sparkling like a silver thread. Seemingly without any sharp force, all its sharpness and power were concealed within.

As the slender sword light swept through, the mighty unihorned Thunder Python was easily sliced open, like a hot knife through butter.

The nature of Thunder Skill itself is known for explosiveness and instability.

Any slight anomaly would cause it to explode like gunpowder.

Yet Gu Yuan split the unihorned Thunder Python down the middle with a single sword stroke, causing the python to collapse into countless fragments of thunder light that scattered.

Not only was the unihorned Thunder Python destroyed, but the Three Corpses Elder's arm was also cut off below the elbow by the sword light.

"Three Corpses Old Devil, sorry to disappoint you. Now that I know your identity, do you think I wouldn't be prepared?"

Looking at the slightly surprised face of the Three Corpses Elder, Gu Yuan sneered.

Although he divided his sword light earlier, it wasn't into twelve but thirteen strands.

The body of the Silver Flood Dragon Sword was hidden by Gu Yuan.

Sword Cultivators, though skilled in slaughter and fierce in swordsmanship, often have some weaknesses before mastering the Sword Dao, making them susceptible to targeted attacks.

For instance, when a Sword Cultivator first studies the sword, nearly ninety percent of their divine abilities and power are concentrated in their flying sword. Without the flying sword, they lose their strongest means of attack and become vulnerable.

He Ling True Master also experienced setbacks when he was weaker, and to prevent his beloved apprentice from repeating his mistakes, he often counseled him.

Gu Yuan naturally kept these valuable lessons in his heart.

As he spoke, Gu Yuan's hands didn't stop, thrusting another sword.

Boom!!!

This sword's sound was like thunder, powerful and unending, as countless threads of sword qi formed a river, piercing through space and clouds.

But this river of sword qi meandered, containing an endlessly soft and yielding essence.

The sword light's strength blended with the river's gentle resilience, combining two contrasting intents, fused by Gu Yuan into this breathtaking sword strike!

This sword was the strongest stroke Gu Yuan had performed after comprehending the "Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas".

Simultaneously, this sword somewhat exceeded the realm of an Innate Martial Master, possessing a trace of divine techniques' charm.

Though Gu Yuan was still an Innate Martial Master, with this single sword stroke, he could slay a Celestial Human, and he's fully confident in his promotion to the Celestial Human Realm!

"You may still be just an Innate Martial Master, yet this sword contains a hint of superior swordsmanship's divine techniques. Every era produces its talented people... Medicine King Mountain has certainly recruited a brilliant disciple."

The Three Corpses Elder sighed softly, standing motionless, not evading, his body dismembered and pulverized by this sword strike.
