"It seems that Patriarch Chai is intentionally making things difficult for our Jade Dragon Mountain." Elder Yun Mo's tone suddenly cooled, "I've long heard of the Chai Family's Woodcutting Blade Technique, which comprehends the fates of men through the grain of wood and stone. When practiced to a profound level, it can condense Life-Severing Blade Intent. Once unleashed, it's said to claim lives with ten deaths and no life."

"I will have to witness it myself today."

"It looks like you've set your mind to protect that demon. If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless under the blade." Chai Yanzong still wanted to label Jade Dragon Mountain as shielding the demon, and without warning, his long blade slashed out.

In that instant, the sound of the wind howled, and the blade gleamed with astonishing speed.

Chai Yanzong's strike was as powerful as a rainbow, seemingly about to cleave everything in sight in two. The blade edge glittered with a cold light, carrying a fierce killing intent, not like a sparring match, but rather as if he intended to kill.

Yun Mo's eyes slightly narrowed as he operated the "Yellow Dragon Hidden Sword True Technique." He aligned his right index and middle fingers together, shot out a bright yellow three-foot Sword Qi, the blade icy cold, with hidden ferocity.

This Sword Qi, like a flood dragon, suddenly tore through the sky, emitting a sharp whistle.

Boom!

The long blade and the Sword Qi collided, producing a violent roar, as if thunder had exploded.

Seeing a miss, Chai Yanzong twisted his wrist, the momentum of the blade changed abruptly, sweeping horizontally with an astonishing speed.

Yun Mo dared not be careless, thinking to himself, "The Chai Family Blade Technique truly lives up to its reputation. Seemingly fierce and domineering, yet the power flows with delicate precision, able to retract and release smoothly, not to be underestimated."

He focused his spirit, employing the Yellow Dragon Sword Qi to unfold all the sword techniques he had learned. For a time, blade light and sword shadows whistled, intertwined, causing the surrounding trees and rocks to be affected, breaking and shattering.

Their battle grew increasingly intense, with the Gang Wind sweeping and fierce winds howling, creating an oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.

As the fight gradually reached a climactic stage, Chai Yanzong's Woodcutting Blade Technique became even more fierce, each slash seemingly to open mountains and sever stones, containing boundless Great Strength, each slash striving for a killing blow.

Yun Mo, on the other hand, remained as steady as a mountain, his form unpredictable like a swimming dragon in water, the Sword Qi at his fingertips sharp and aggressive, clashing repeatedly with the blade light.

As time passed, Chai Yanzong began to feel somewhat at a loss. His physical strength and True Qi were rapidly depleting, while Yun Mo, from the beginning till now, only used Sword Qi against him, and his sword at his waist had yet to be drawn.

His expression turned somewhat grim, "Yun Mo, you dare to underestimate me? Today I will show you that the Chai Family Blade Technique is not to be lightly insulted."

Before the words ended, his blade technique suddenly became even more violent, the frost-like blade edge drawing mysterious trajectories in the air, like the annual rings of ancient trees in the mountains, or some kind of Tao Essence.

These trajectories seemed disorderly, but actually contained profound principles, which was the essence of the Chai Family Blade Technique—Life-Severing Blade Intent.

Elder Yun Mo's heart tensed, feeling a strange force triggering his internal organs, his heart pounding like a drum, as if about to explode, with blood and True Qi surging chaotically.

He involuntarily slightly tensed his face, thinking that the Chai Family's Life-Severing Blade Intent was truly bizarre, capable of affecting one's internal organs, blood, and True Qi out of thin air.

If he hadn't reserved three parts of his strength from the beginning, facing this sudden attack, he might be overwhelmed internally and externally, and be defeated immediately.

"Hahaha, Yun Mo, die for me!"

Chai Yanzong's gaze became exceedingly fierce, internal energy surging madly, with the long blade in his hand glowing intensely.

"Take this, Life-Severing Slash!"

With his roar, a powerful and bizarre blade intent, accompanied by Sword Qi, surged from the long blade, like a Blade Wheel, seemingly about to tear apart the entire Void.

Elder Yun Mo took a deep breath and sighed slightly, "You came as a guest to the mountain; I didn't originally want to kill you, but since you seek death, what can be done?"

His form instantly retreated rapidly, like a swimming dragon entering the sea, the True Qi within the body rippling endlessly, even surrounding his body in a faint mist.

The strange force originally disturbing his internal organs and blood was immediately suppressed and weakened considerably.

"Clang!" With a loud noise, the Sword Qi in Yun Mo's hand was instantly shattered. Although he dodged quickly, a sharp blade light still cut directly into his shoulder.

"Pshhh!" Blood splattered out.

"Haha, Yun Mo, you dare to underestimate my Chai Family Blade Technique, only fighting with Sword Qi. This is the path to death, and I shall send you on your way." Chai Yanzong laughed while his attacks became even more ruthless, the blade light pouring out like a spray of water.

Yet, even with the injury to his shoulder, Yun Mo's face showed no trace of panic or anxiety, instead growing calmer. He placed his hand on the hilt of the Demon Sword, speaking in a light tone.

"This sword is named Ink Dragon, forged by my master years ago using Profound Iron, Tungsten Steel, Mica, and Ink Gold. Since I began my cultivation, it has accompanied me for over six decades, but few have perished under this sword."

"Because since forty years ago, I have already used it to hide the sword."

"If you are willing to descend the mountain now, then so be it."

"Otherwise..."

He sighed softly, "Dying on this mountain, with no remains left, don't blame me."

Chai Yanzong's eyes flickered, a sense of caution rising in his heart, yet outwardly still displaying an arrogant look, "I've heard of the Yellow Dragon Hidden Sword True Technique from Yellow Dragon Peak, but haven't seen it in the Martial World in recent years. I wonder if it is just boasting big?"
