The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 19: God Slaying Inferno Slash

Once Jian Shen felt he was ready, he began moving his body according to the instructions inside his head.

The God Slaying Inferno Slash only had a single move.

But it was this very fact which increased the complexity of the technique.

It turned out that the movement of the body wasn't important in the slightest. Because to execute the technique properly one needed to control and use their cultivation precisely.

The God Slaying Inferno Slash was a technique which had two basic steps to it. First, it covered the sword in blazing flames, and then when a sword strike is executed through the air, the slash would be a burning crescent that cuts through and ignites everything it touches.

Of course, if he was proficient enough in it, Jian Shen could use the technique to cover his body or any other weapons as well.

However, the God Slaying Inferno Slash would only show its power to the fullest when used together with a sword.

Reading the technique Jian Shen found that the technique had three parts to it. The Inferno Qi Slash, Inferno Soul Slash, and the Inferno Dao Slash.

For now, Jian Shen only read the first part, since the remaining two couldn't even be understood by the current him.

The God Slaying Inferno Slash also had two requirements to train in. One was to possess a Yang type cultivation, and the other was to possess the Heavenly Dragon Sword.

Without fulfilling either of these conditions it would be impossible to learn the God Slaying Inferno Slash.

Luckily after the technique had been properly learnt, the user could use the technique with any sword of his choice.

Taking a deep breath to relax, Jian Shen began controlling the Qi inside him to travel across the path he memorized beforehand.

As his Yang Qi travelled through the meridians according to the technique, Jian Shen could feel his body turning hot very fast.

In less than a few seconds, Jian Shen's body had turned scorching hot, and a red hue covered his right arm. The red glow slowly but surely moved back and forth as it tried to awkwardly cover the white sword in his hand.

This was because Jian Shen couldn't perfectly control the Qi inside him, and every time he slowed down, the God Slaying Inferno Slash started threatening to disappear forcing Jian Shen to hastily resume it one way or the other.

It took Jian Shen the time one needed to boil a pot of tea to completely cover the Heavenly Dragon Sword in the red glow.

Unfortunately, the glow was very transparent and didn't even look like real flames.

However, Jian Shen wasn't disappointed at all. Stopping the circulation of Qi inside him, Jian Shen fell to his knees and started panting.

"Haaa.... Indeed the Inferno God Slaying Slash isn't like anything else I've seen until now. It's probably a Heaven Grade Technique!"

Cultivation and attack techniques were divided into four grades - Elementary Grade, Mystic Grade, Earth Grade, and Heaven Grade.

Elementary Grade techniques were the simplest techniques and weakest techniques, while the Heaven Grade techniques were the most complicated techniques and strongest techniques.

However though Elementary Grade techniques were known as weak, they allowed the user to show twice his strength when using them.

The Mystic Grade allowed four times, the Earth Grade allowed six times, and as for the Heaven Grade techniques, they were said to bring out ten times of the user's strength.

Unfortunately, while everyone in the Deng Kingdom knew of these divisions, they also knew that wanting to even see a Heaven Grade techniques was nothing more than a pipe dream.

This was because the Deng Kingdom was so weak that their peak techniques were only Mid Level Mystic Grade Techniques. And those too were only possessed by the Royal Family.

As for the other powers in the Deng Kingdom, they were considered the top ones if they possess a single Low-Level Mystic Grade Technique.

"It might even be a High-Level Heaven Grade Technique...!"

Muttering with bright eyes, Jian Shen once again stood up and resumed his practice since he wanted to learn the Inferno Qi Slash to small scale success as soon as possible.

After all, right now all he needed was a technique which he could use to fight and defend himself. And reaching the small scale success was enough to fo both of them.

He could focus on trying to achieve the Large Scale Success, and Perfection Stage later on.

Because according to Jian Shen's calculation reaching the Small Scale Success which allowed to him to show 30% of the Inferno Qi Slash's true power was more than enough to even defeat the Deng Kingdom's Emperor.

That is, given that he has the same cultivation level as the Emperor.

However, what Jian Shen didn't know was that the Inferno Qi Slash wasn't a simple High-Level Heaven Grade Technique. But in fact, it was something that not even all the Heaven Grade techniques in the Mortal Realm put together could compare to.

After all the technique had no limit to it. Because even though the user's cultivation might hit a bottleneck and stop, as long as he makes his Yang Qi purer, the technique would grow more powerful when used.
