Chapter 1115 Sword vs Scythe
1115 Sword vs Scythe
The crowd, from the lowliest of Meridian Forging youths to the powerhouses themselves watched with awe as John forcefully redirected the massive sword-image back towards Ji'Han.
Made from his prodigious Qi quality, Ji'Han's sword-image was so dense that its weight alone was something that only a body cultivator could directly deal with. However, its weight was not the only factor. Since JiTIan had created the sword-image, its direction and momentum were completely under his control.
It moved wherever he wanted it to move, and only something even stronger than Ji'Han's control over his own Qi could change that. That level of strength should have been impossible for one in the Dao Transformation Realm, but John's actions once again defied all sense of reality for those watching.
Che!
Despite his best efforts to stop it, the hundred-yard-long sword image slashed down on Ji'Han's position with ruinous power, as John combined the momentum the sword-image already had with his own strength. The sword sliced apart space itself as it descended, opening the thinnest sliver in space, which shone a brilliant multi- colored hue from the light of the spatial chaos leaking through.
"Futile," Ji'Han sneered, watching the sword fall towards him.
He then waved his hand to the side, intending to send the sword away from his position. His expression wavered slightly as he felt an overwhelming force resist his control over his sword-image, keeping its direction towards him. He frowned and waved his hand again, this time with more power.
This time, the sword changed directions ever so slightly, but then a moment later returned to its original direction; directly towards him.
"Tch," Ji'Han clicked his tongue in defeat, then snapped his fingers in a casual motion as the sword reached his location.
The crowd gasped as the sword fell directly onto Ji'Han, then suddenly dissolved into a million tiny sword images, which scattered in the air before dissolving into nothingness. He had intended to overwhelm John's strength with his control, proving that his essence power was greater than John's physical strength.
In that endeavor, and for the first time in a decade, Ji'Han had lost out on an exchange. Begrudgingly accepting his defeat at the last possible moment, he undid his sword image, scattering its Qi to the wind. The sword images fell down to the ground and faded out of existence, like a million snowflakes drifting in the air.
As the sword-image faded from his hands, John didn't let up for a single second. While other geniuses would have paused for a second to contemplate what had happened or exchange words with their opponent, John was consumed by one singular goal at the moment; beating Ji'Han until he was bloody and unrecognizable.
Boom!
His body exploded with power as lightning appeared all over him, turning him into a glowing lightning war god. Space then shattered around him a moment later, then reformed, swallowing him into the chaotic void.
Boom!
Space shattered once more near JiTIan's location as John burst through the spatial veil, scythe already slashing towards Ji'Han.
"Too predictable," Ji'Han said, his sword already slashing towards John, sending a simple yet monstrously powerful sword-image directly towards him.
While the action was simple, the sword-image was equal to some of the strongest attacks unleashed during the tournament thus far. Such was the power of a true Sword Dao cultivator, especially one in the Dao Lord stage such as Ji'Han.
Each and every attack of his was sharp and quick beyond compare, with a casual swing of his sword capable of cleaving apart mountains and even space itself.
Boom!
Sword-image and scythe collided, sending sparks of sword-light flying outwards in all directions as John's scythe shattered the sword-image. The sparks of sword light slammed into his body, but with its power greatly diminished, all they could do was cut him superficially. His momentum still strong, John surged towards Ji'Han, who was flying backwards through the air, unleashing sword attack after sword attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Scythe and sword-images slammed into one another ceaselessly, while swords-images from Ji'Han's sword domain moved about the air, surrounding John and piercing towards him without pause.
Boom!
Mustering a full-powered blast of lightning Qi, John sent out an explosion of lightning radiating in all directions, like a ball of lightning expanding like an exploding sun. The lightning blast slammed into the approaching sword-images, doing enough damage to weaken and destroy some of the swords, but not all of them.
The remaining swords shot towards John while he chased Ji'Han, the sky around them chaotic with swords and lightning.
"Idiot," Ji'Han sneered again as he saw John ignore the remaining sword-images piercing towards him, instead focusing on Ji'Han himself. Jill-Ian smiled and stopped retreating, then slashed his sword hundreds of times in a second towards John, sending sword-image after sword-image slicing outwards.
John's scythe moved with fluid speed and power, slamming against each and every single sword-image, slicing each apart before it could reach him. While Ji'Han's sword Qi was nothing to look down on, when it came to sword-image versus his scythe created by Daoist Eternal Weapon himself, there was no comparison.
Pressing forward with unyielding might, John carved his way through Ji'Han's torrential stream of swords like an unstoppable war god. He arrived before Ji'Han and slashed his scythe forward once more, this time with Ji'Han as the target.
"Truly an idiot," Ji'Han said he waved his free hand upwards. Summoned by his power, the thousands of domain sword-images near Ji'Han appeared before him with incredible speed, forming a thick wall of powerful sword-images the moment John's scythe struck forward.
Che!
John's scythe carved into the wall of sword-images with his full might. The sharpness of the Abyssal-Demon scythe blade carved into the sword-wall like it was paper, while a blast of lightning emanating from his scythe blade blasted from within the gap in the sword-wall, blasting a hole directly into it.
He could see Ji'Han standing just on the other side of the sword- wall, staring at him with a smug grin. He then shot forward into the hole in the sword-wall, speeding directly towards Ji'Han.
The thousands of sword-images behind John, weakened but not destroyed by his lightning, finally caught up to him, as the momentary pause Ji'Han created was all it needed catch up to John.
Che! Che! Che!
Like a torrential rain of heavenly swords, they smashed into John's unprotected back, shattering into him with lethal intent. The remaining swords in the sword wall then moved as well, turning and piercing tip first towards John, smashing directly against his unguarded body.
Boom!
The air above the arena exploded into a storm of sword-light, drowning both John and Ji'Han within. The crowd gasped as they watched the events unfold, with many wondering if John would be able to survive such an attack.
Che!
A beam of blue lightning suddenly pierced out from within the blinding explosion of white sword light, pressing against Ji'Han's body as he was forcefully blasted backwards by its power. The beam of lightning then exploded with furious power, drowning Ji'Han in a sea of lightning.
Boom!
The entire stadium trembled as sword and lightning exploded within, while the crowd watched with wide eyes and bated breath, unable to discern what the outcome of this exchange was. One thing was for certain though. If John was not on his deathbed, the wounds he sustained from Ji'Han's sword images were certainly grievous enough to end this battle.
"Rahh!" A roar of anger boomed out from within the lightning blast, followed by a wave of Sword Qi blasting outwards, pushing the lightning aside.
Ji'Han's figure was revealed a moment later, his brows furrowed, his expression cold. He stared directly into his sea of sword images, which continued to drown John within.
The wide eves in the crowd somehow widened as thev looked towards the information screens, noticing that John's "health" metric had only dropped ten percent, and was rising by the second, undoing the damage that had been done to him.
Even Jill-Ian couldn't believe his eyes, as he had thought that exchange would have gravely injured John. Thousands of his sword images had smashed directly into John's unprotected body. While he wasn't using his full power, that attack of his was enough to injure an Early World Expansion cultivator with ease.
Ji'Han's furrowed expression instantly changed as he felt his instincts warning him to a level he hadn't felt in over a decade. Then, from within the fading explosion of sword-light, Ji'Han saw a figure standing in the air, with a glowing beast of lightning behind him.
"Kirin-God Extinction!"
Boom!
