"Dual Sword Fusion?"
Sun Gui Fen swiftly retreated two steps to avoid the sharp edge, just as she was about to concentrate and ponder the intricacies of the Combined Attack Swordsmanship of Yan Chuan and Chen Ze, when she heard Yan Chuan exclaim—
"Flowers and Moonlight!"
She saw Yan Chuan execute a move from top to bottom, simulating an icy disk crossing the sky, casting a clear light upon the ground.
It was astonishingly the "Quanzhen Swordsmanship"!
"Flowers and Moonlight!" Chen Ze, infused with confidence after an inexplicable success in their previous collaboration, no longer hesitated in following Yan Chuan’s lead. The moment he heard Yan Chuan’s command, he immediately vibrated his single sword, a ’buzzing’ sound akin to flowers blooming, swinging it back and forth in the wind. It was precisely the "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship" move named ’Flowers and Moonlight’!
This move, when coordinated with Yan Chuan, left Sun Gui Fen dazzled and bewildered, unable to discern from where Chen Ze’s sword move would strike, forcing her to leap back to evade.
Another successful strike!
"Brilliant!"
Chen Ze was overjoyed!
This time, his mind was no longer preoccupied with why his senior brother would use this move against an enemy, but more with what it would feel and look like to execute ’Wandering the World’ and ’Flowers and Moonlight’ individually, and what the sensation and sight would be after combining them.
Self-verification!
Self-deduction.
He was already pondering the combination of "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship".
This combination was something he had never considered before. He previously only knew that his senior brother was extraordinarily talented, having created an incredibly exquisite set of "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and immediately thereafter a set of countering "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship". He initially believed that Yan Chuan did this to show him that there was no unparalleled and unbreakable swordsmanship in the world, to allow him to refine his swordsmanship by understanding both sides, and to master the "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship".
He thought this reasoning was correct.
Especially just a moment ago, he combined "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" with "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship" and realized the principle of ’mutual yin and yang’, ultimately achieving a breakthrough that propelled him onto the "Human List", surpassing his comrades Wang Ge and Fu Yunzhan by being the first to enter the "Hidden Dragon List".
At that time, Chen Ze grew even more respectful of Yan Chuan, considering his senior brother’s creation of two swordsmanships to be remarkably farsighted.
But now, cooperating with his senior brother again to perform the dual sword techniques, which surprisingly suppressed Sun Gui Fen, ranked twelfth on the "Chufeng", Chen Ze suddenly realized—
"Senior brother’s creation of the two swordsmanships was not merely about ’mutual yin and yang’ and not just for me to compare, verify, and master more thoroughly. "
"It was for this very moment today!"
"These two sword techniques!"
"Dual Sword Fusion!"
"Unstoppable!"
...
Yan Chuan wasn’t aware of what Chen Ze was thinking, as he was feeling simply exhilarated.
Ever since the creation of "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship", Yan Chuan had been eagerly anticipating the power of the Dual Sword Fusion.
However, he had too many mixed thoughts. Despite creating "Left and Right Mutual Combat", he couldn’t practice it himself, as the method’s first requirement was to ’draw a square with one hand and a circle with the other’, necessitating a pure mind on the practitioner’s part.
Thus, those with a simple mind, unversed in worldly matters, could learn it more easily, whereas those with an active mind and cunning would find it difficult to learn.
For example, the simple-minded Guo Jing could learn "Left and Right Mutual Combat", but the incredibly intelligent Huang Rong couldn’t manage it at all.
The Little Dragon Girl, due to her untainted spirit and lack of worldly knowledge, could learn it, being one of the quickest to master it.
Yang Guo, despite being clever, also had a complex mind and couldn’t learn it.
Yan Chuan couldn’t match Guo Jing’s straightforwardness or the Little Dragon Girl’s purity. Having lived two lifetimes, his mind was cluttered, rendering him unable to grasp the "Left and Right Mutual Combat Technique", hence naturally he couldn’t practice the Dual Sword Fusion of "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship" by himself, resulting in the inability to practice the "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship".
As for collaborating—
Neither "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" nor "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship" could reach his Seventh Realm: Transcendent level of mastery until now!
Until now!
Chen Ze attained enlightenment!
Yan Chuan finally found a ’sword partner’.
Both of them, attaining similar mastery levels in "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship", could finally perform the "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship"!
Once performed!
Its power was indeed immense!
Yan Chuan felt exhilaration in his heart, letting out a long, exuberant howl, continuously varying his moves—
"A Light Drink!"
Yan Chuan lifted the hilt and pointed the sword tip downward as if pouring wine from a jug.
"A Light Drink!" Chen Ze flipped his sword tip upward, pointing it towards his mouth as if raising a cup to drink.
One was elegantly pouring wine!
One was gracefully drinking!
If they were a man and a woman, they’d undoubtedly be a perfect couple!
But Yan Chuan!
But Chen Ze!
These were two men!
"Ugh!"
Sun Gui Fen felt a wave of nausea, unwilling to think about it.
Watching the duo’s progressively stranger sword moves, yet seeing their mutual coordination and complementing each other’s gaps, what initially appeared to be simple moves became lethal attacks.
And the moves that were originally lethal attacks, after patching their weaknesses and enhancing their power, became comparable to her ’Prince’s Travel’!
One move followed another!
Each move was a killing move!
The duo unleashed a flurry of formidable killing moves.
Sun Gui Fen fought more and more aghast, "Yan Chuan was hiding such an exquisite swordsmanship? Then why hadn’t he used it before?"
Sun Gui Fen hadn’t anticipated that her appearance this time would not only witness "Wave Riding Micro Steps", "Shadowy Charm", "Lion Roar", "One Yang Finger", but also see Yan Chuan pull out something new.
She felt targeted!
But she quickly realized: "Of course! Chen Ze has attained enlightenment, and his swordsmanship has broken through. This Combined Attack Swordsmanship requires both to be wielded together. Chen Ze’s previous swordsmanship skills were inadequate, and Yan Chuan, being alone earlier, couldn’t perform it."
