Chapter 890: Fierce Fight
In terms of the subtlety and profundity of swordsmanship, Princess Tamako believed that Zhang Yuelu was truly the foremost among all her peers that she had ever encountered.
For an ordinary person, handling two tasks at once was already rare. Most gifted individuals could manage several at the same time. But compared to Zhang Yuelu’s ability to turn one mind into a hundred uses, they were far inferior. She was truly gifted in every aspect.
Under such circumstances, Princess Tamako dared not hold back in the slightest. Her figure blurred, and her body split into three. This was, of course, not the Liberation Realm of Rogue Cultivators nor the Three Corpse Severance Realm of Banished Immortals, but rather an extremely advanced cloning technique.
The three clones of Princess Tamako stood back-to-back, each wielding two swords. With a total of six blades, they formed an impenetrable defense. But Zhang Yuelu’s sword qi was finer than water. A few strands of fine sword qi slipped through Princess Tamako’s defenses and landed upon her body.
In moments, several spots of blood appeared on Princess Tamako’s body, yet none were vital wounds, and they did not hinder her movements.
Princess Tamako’s sword flowed on without end as she gradually steadied her footing and blocked Zhang Yuelu’s relentless assaults.
Zhang Yuelu did not grow impatient. She dispersed her Spiritual Body and flicked the blade of her sword with a finger.
It was as if a thunderclap exploded by Princess Tamako’s ear, stunning her mind for a heartbeat.
By the time Princess Tamako regained her senses, Zhang Yuelu had already cut down two of her clones with a single strike, and her true body barely managed to block that sword.
Zhang Yuelu’s sword flick was the Great Thunder Sword Technique from the Cihang Sword Sequence. It was akin to the Buddhist Lion’s Roar, capable of shaking the opponent’s spirit. At higher mastery, one could flick the sword and sing, combining the melody to bewitch the opponent’s mind into dispersing killing intent and erasing all will to fight.
The Cihang Sword Sequence’s Great Thunder Sword Technique was part of the Heart Series. It was considered the foundational prerequisite to the Buddha’s Light of Salvation.
The Buddha’s Light of Salvation was the most advanced technique of the Cihang Sword Sequence. Once shone upon by the Buddha Light, an opponent would fall to their knees in repentance on the spot. This was what the Buddhists called attaining Buddhahood, and this repentance could last for decades. The core principle was to use the Buddha’s Light to completely suppress and bind the opponent’s ego, then create an opposing inner demon, effectively turning them into an entirely different person.
