Chapter 644: Chapter 643: The True Invincible Lord
Feeling the pressure surging from all directions, almost concretely pressing down on him, Shi Xiaole’s face remained calm, calm without a ripple.
From the beginning, he felt the extraordinariness of Tie Yunzi, but so what?
Everyone thought he, Kirin, had inadvertently fallen into the trap of Xing Shuzi and his disciple, but little did they know, ever since the Spirit Sea formed the embryonic form of Wind Sword Way, with the Vigorous Air perpetually progressing, Shi Xiaole couldn’t find a rival in the Dragon Gate Realm.
Not to mention going all out, there wasn’t even one person who was qualified to make him use just twenty percent of his strength!
It’s lonely to be an expert.
No one could understand Shi Xiaole’s helplessness, he couldn’t have a hearty fight, hence he couldn’t know his own limit, and his pace of progress would slow down.
Tie Yunzi’s challenge was like a pillow delivered to him when he was sleepy. How could Shi Xiaole refuse?
They say that a master of the False Divine Barrier Realm couldn’t be defeated by a Lord, but today, Shi Xiaole was determined to challenge this so-called martial world’s iron rule, to test its indestructibility!
"What a pose."
Seeing Shi Xiaole’s appearance, Tie Yunzi secretly sneered. He didn’t pull out the hammer from his back, instead, he clenched his right hand into a fist and viciously punched out.
Boom!
The huge and blurred shadow of the fist, like a ferocious beast, tore through the sea of clouds, shattered the void, and with an invincible momentum, attacked Shi Xiaole.
The power scattered from the shadow of the fist, although far from Xing Shuzi and Jade Lion, still made everyone present tremble in fear. Without speaking of anything else, the quality of the Vigorous Air was a rank lower.
If Tie Yunzi’s Vigorous Air was steel, then their Vigorous Air was at most wood, innate suppression, including Wen Weijian, Ni Yihang and other Invincible Lords, were breathing heavily, trying to alleviate the pressure in their hearts.
They have heard many comparisons in the past, but seeing is believing, they truly understand the gap between them. If it were them, they probably couldn’t even block a casual punch from Tie Yunzi.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at Kirin, even some of those who held goodwill towards Kirin nearly closed their eyes, not daring to watch the upcoming scene.
He didn’t draw a sword, he didn’t dodge, to the astonishment of everyone, Shi Xiaole just stretched out his left hand, his index and middle fingers placed together, and he poked forward.
What is he doing?!
People’s minds hadn’t yet reacted, then they saw that following Shi Xiaole’s gesture, a bundle of radiating green Sword Qi shot out, sharp at the top, spreading out like water ripples on both sides, like a twisted triangle stretched infinitely.
Inside the triangular area, the density of Sword Qi was so high that it left everyone, including the three monsters such as Jade Lion, dumbfounded.
Hiss!
Sword Qi collided head-on with the fist’s brightness. Before the fist’s brightness could explode, it was pierced and drilled by the Sword Qi, all the way through.
The fist’s brightness continued to move forward. Although it passed crosswise with the Sword Qi, the triangle sword pattern dragged by the tip of the Sword Qi seemed infinite, washing over the fist’s brightness every moment until it reached three feet from Shi Xiaole and then shattered with a bang.
At the same moment, the power of Sword Qi, too, seemed to be exhausted, turned into a gust of wind. As it blew past Tie Yunzi, it created a violent friction with the protective Vigorous Air on his body. Sparks splashed like a sickle, one after another, hitting the Array System on the surfaces of several nearby mountain peaks, startling the people on the peaks.
"How could this be?!"
The chubby-faced man yelled in horror.
His junior brother’s Vigorous Air was no common Vigorous Air, how could Shi Xiaole so easily resist it? But the facts were in front of him. If it were his eyes that were wrong, what about the rest of the people here?
Their expressions spoke it all.
"Impossible, impossible!"
Fu Tong was stupefied at first, then gritted his teeth, his eyes almost bursting with hatred.
Since losing to Shi Xiaole, he had used the power of the Blood Emperor’s Chamber to investigate Shi Xiaole’s thorough information. After thorough analysis, Fu Tong was ninety percent sure that their opponent was indeed at the Limit Supreme Lord level when he was at Mount Wanxiang, with no possibility of hiding his strength.
But what was happening now?
Shi Xiaole’s hit just now had definitely reached the top invincible Lord level. No, it had surpassed the invincible Lord level. Even the first-ranked Fei Wenyu on the Lord List might not be able to receive it.
Over just a few months, their opponent couldn’t have improved to this level. He didn’t believe it, he absolutely didn’t believe it!
"Interesting, it’s truly worthy of the monstrous Kirin. If you can’t even take a punch from me with just ten percent of my strength, I would be quite disappointed."
After the initial shock, Tie Yunzi quickly recovered.
As he said, if Shi Xiaole couldn’t even take one punch, then he wouldn’t be Kirin. But that’s okay, when he fought with thirty percent of his strength, it would be enough to show the opponent the vastness of heaven and earth.
The outcome of this battle today was already predetermined.
"Take another punch of mine."
Suddenly raising his strength to thirty percent, Tie Yunzi punched out for the second time.
This punch turned the void into Rifeng torrent. It was like countless whirlwinds, tearing each other apart, and pounding down. The ripples radiated by the aftermath, even though the Array System was in between, still touched the soul of the Lords present.
This kind of tremor was different from the previous one.
Jade Lion and Xing Shuzi were at too high a level. What people felt more was fear, like a kitten in front of a tiger, without a trace of power to resist.
Although Tie Yunzi was also above everyone, the gap in levels wasn’t that big, which made people really feel his strength.
This one punch would be enough to defeat any Lord of the Flying Horse Dynasty!
Without any fluctuation in his starry eyes, just like before, Shi Xiaole again pointed out a Sword Finger.
This time, the Sword Qi surged by more than double, and its color changed from blue to deep blue. Rolling over the fist radiance, in the thunderous rumble, the two waves of terrifying vigor were obliterated simultaneously.
"What powerful sword technique!"
The young man with thick brows standing next to the handsome nun widened his eyes slightly.
He easily noticed that the fist radiance contained substantial explosive power. But before it had a chance to explode, it was hit in advance by countless Sword Qi, causing the vigor to leak.
This undoubtedly requires incredible observation and control!
The thick-browed young man continued to stare at Shi Xiaole in disbelief. Was this man really the same person he had seen by the Huanzhou River?
"The quality of Vigorous Air far exceeds that of ordinary Lords, and it’s even unnaturally strong. The sword technique and sword realm are similarly excellent,"
Duanmu Keren commented quietly, seemingly beginning to take Shi Xiaole seriously, truly observing him for the first time with earnest eyes.
Given her personality, she would never take anyone seriously solely based on their ranking. If one wanted her to take notice, they needed to demonstrate matching prowess. From this aspect, Duanmu Keren was indeed quite similar to Mu Ling.
Having failed to defeat Shi Xiaole after two punches, Tie Yunzi’s expression grew dark. He noted Shi Xiaole’s abnormality, immediately elevating his strength to seventy percent in response.
"You should try to take one of my swords,"
But this time, not giving Tie Yunzi any chance, Shi Xiaole made the first move. Using his arm as a sword, he gently waved it forward.
Instantly, numerous blue strands appeared in the void. Upon closer inspection, these strands were actually countless long swords, only they had been shrunk hundreds of times, enveloping Tie Yunzi.
"This trivial skill, break for me!"
Both fists struck out, containing seventy percent of Tie Yunzi’s total strength. The punches seemed like two beams piercing the sky, easily shattering a large number of blue sword strands. The released vigor destroyed the remaining sword strands within the beams.
But in the next moment, the clearly shattered strands of swords suddenly recombined in a peculiar manner. They turned into a twenty-zhang-long blue translucent giant sword, charging forward at an even faster speed, interpreting the true meaning of the Wind Sword Way.
Thud!
A figure retreated like a cannonball, stopping only several thousand meters away. Due to the great force, his feet created two noticeable passages in the void.
With his hands crossed in front of him and lowering his arms, a pallid face was revealed. Who else could it be but Tie Yunzi?
Gasps!
Startled gasps echoed in the background, making the silent Endless Risky Peak seem even more conspicuous.
"Is this a hoax?"
"I can’t believe that the Invincible Lord has such strength! But everything about Kirin clearly matches the standards of an Invincible Lord, how did he do it?"
"Is this what a monstrous talent looks like?"
Everyone was unable to calm down, feeling their heart rate increase.
In particular, Fei Wenyu, Wen Weijian, and a group of Invincible Lords were all lost for words.
They considered themselves to be on par with the all-time Invincible Lords of the Martial World, but in comparison with Shi Xiaole, their invincibility seemed like a joke.
Before Shi Xiaole, which Lord would dare claim to be invincible?
Perhaps the earlier Four Abnormalities could, but they had never crossed swords with an expert in the False Divine Barrier Realm. At least not in public, and the Martial World had no recollection of such a match. Consequently, people had no idea about the Abnormality’s limit.
And the rise of the Martial Emperor was too long ago to serve as an accurate gauge for today’s generation.
So regardless of today’s outcome, from now on, Kirin’s strength will become a benchmark, a yardstick to measure a Lord’s strength.
Without reaching his level, no person would dare to call themselves unbeatable!
"Well, very well."
Tie Yunzi was trembling all over, not from fear but anger.
As an expert in the False Divine Barrier Realm, he didn’t manage to take down Shi Xiaole in three moves. On the contrary, he was repelled. This was simply a disgrace, a humiliaton!
But at the same time, Tie Yunzi completely abandoned any contempt he had previously held. Kirin was not an ordinary individual. It seemed that he had to use his real strength if he intended to win this fight.
With both hands, he took the dual hammers from his back. Tie Yunzi slowly made his way back, his aura rising with each step.
By the time he returned to his original position, his aura was like a massive tidal wave hitting the shore, so high that one couldn’t see its peak. It threatened to surge down at any moment, crushing anything that dared to stand in its way.
"Heavy Hammer Blooming Flowers!"
The figure flashed, and Tie Yunzi charged forward. Under the push of his boundless aura, he abruptly appeared in front of Shi Xiaole. His bulging arms swung with great force, creating blurry images of the iron hammers.
Shi Xiaole didn’t step back. As his sword was unsheathed, he swung it horizontally at both hammers. This elicited a scornful smile from Tie Yunzi, thinking Shi Xiaole had foolishly hoped to counter the hammers head-on with his Vigorous Air.
Clang! Clang!
However, he soon realized his error. As it turned out, Shi Xiaole’s sword swing wasn’t merely horizontal, for under the influence of his wrist, both its tip and hilt were vibrating constantly. The only reason one would perceive it as still was because of the sword’s incredible speed.
The tip of the sword, almost simultaneously, hit the left and right hammers. The vibration from the sword body transmitted to Tie Yunzi’s arms through the sword tip, all in an instant.
Only then did the whooshing sound of Tie Yunzi swinging his hammers and the ringing sound of Shi Xiaole swinging his sword echo at the same time.
