Ninefold invincible blade shield

As if sensing Xuan Yuan's scrutiny, the Sword King raised his sword and the surrounding Mana gushed towards him frantically due to the presence of his Mana body. Even though it was only a Basic Mana body, it still brought a formidable power that Tier 2 Masters cannot resist, much less a Tier 1 Swordman like Xuan Yuan.

Xuan Yuan immediately retracted his Mana domain to focus absolutely on the Sword King. He calmly watched the operations of the Magic arrays of the Mana body as the Sword King attacked while also casting a ninefold Defensive blade.

The various magic arrays of the Mana body worked ceaselessly to produce boundless power that backed the power to attack Xuan Yuan.

As the Sword King launched his strike, Xuan Yuan also casted his ninefold defensive blade to block it but this time, the defensive blades shattered and Xuan Yuan was forced three steps back with 10% HP lost. He didn't feel pressured though, he avoided using a Healing spell to regenerate himself and instead focused on the arrays as they were linked together.

A Basic Mana body was a complete Grandmaster magic array that was linked together together by hundreds of Master Magic arrays who produce different effects. Among the Magic arrays, some were for strength boosting, some Health regeneration, some are for Mana gathering and others, but they are ultimately joined together to function as a whole body just like a Human body does with the presence of the systems.

The Sword King raised his Sword again to attack when he saw that Xuan Yuan wasn't dead yet. Xuan Yuan could have casted his void shield to block it but he had another idea.

Just when the Sword King prepared to launch a Tier 3 Sword skill, Xuan Yuan began casting multiple arrays simultaneously. Using the void shield as foundation, he began condensing the ninefold defensive blades forming a shield with blades flashing in it.

BOOM!!

The Tier 3 skill from the Sword King collided with the Defensive parameter set up by Xuan Yuan but this time, the Shield stood firmly even after colliding with the Sword strike...

<Player Sage Yuan, you have successfully created a Mana technique, rewarding 3 levels and a Epic treasure chest...>

Before Xuan Yuan could feel gratified about creating a new Mana technique, he was already drooling at the sight of an Epic treasure chest appear abruptly in his spatial bag.

An Epic treasure chest was one that all players dream of obtaining. The last time he got one was when he completed his Tier 1 promotion quest and that was when he obtained the pitch black that's still lying quietly in his bag waiting for Xuan Yuan to wield it. Yet before he could even wield the Profound lightning Sabre, the chance for a new Epic item was already waiting for him.

He didn't have the time to think though, as the Sword King was already angered that he still couldn't kill a mere Swordman even after attacking with a Tier 3 Sword King skill. But ignorance had always been a deadly disease. If only he knew how to not judge a book by its cover.

Xuan Yuan was only being limited by levels. His Mana control was already at the Peak of Tier 4 approaching Tier 5. If there was no level restriction he'd have no problem reaching Tier 3 or Tier 4. With only a Basic Mana body, he stood no chance against a Tier 4 Emperor! Only experts with a Gold Mana body upwards at Tier 3 can put up a good fight against an Emperor.

The Sword King raised his Sword again and sent out a Sword light that can overwhelm Heaven will Guild players completely at a single Xuan Yuan who once again blocked it with his newly created Mana technique.

"Ninefold invincible blade shield!" He shouted as he named the Mana technique.

Xuan Yuan then began passively defending the Sword King's strikes as he quietly studied his Mana technique...

Meanwhile in the core room, the Saints were already dumbfounded.

"Fuck!! since when did it become easy to create a Mana technique?" A Saint cried.

"That technique just now is at least Gold ranked and it's created by a Swordman. So monstrous!" Another added.

"Even as a Saint myself, I haven't created a Gold Mana technique yet" A Saint whispered.

"We need to make him join us. Then I'd have the chance to learn the Mana technique. I'd become invincible among Shield Saints!" A shield Saint said with a wretched smile on his face. It was difficult to imagine that an Saint feared by all players would resort to such an underhanded means to try to take a player's possession!

After passively defending for about half an hour, Xuan Yuan had already studied the Mana body thoroughly. He then began retaliating with the Overwhelming Sword quickly gaining the upper hand under the shocked gazes of the powerhouses at the core room.

Another Gold ranked Mana technique!

After modifying the Overwhelming Sword, it became a bona fide Gold Mana technique with overbearing powers.

After a few minutes, the Sword King eventually died in Xuan Yuan's hands to the expectations of the powerhouses.

It should be known that one of the rules that'd be considered unbreakable at all is the power of tiers. Although one could fight someone of a higher tier, killing one is more difficult. Those who did were regarded as peerless Geniuses seen once in a thousand years. A Genius like Xuan Yuan who could kill someone two tiers above himself do not even exist!
