Chapter 646: Chapter 645: Wind Sword Way, Unbeatable Luck
"Be defeated!"
With the force of repulsion empowering him, Tie Yunzi’s speed dramatically increased. By avoiding Shi Xiaole’s sword and secretly manipulating the force of attraction on Shi Xiaole, he hammered down two mace attacks as if mountains were falling from the sky.
A sharp light shot from his eyes. At the last split second, Shi Xiaole forcibly twisted his body, hurling the Gale Blade towards his opponent.
Under the forces of attraction and repulsion, the cyan sword threads distorted quickly. Differing forces inside dissolved the Sword Qi causing the maces to be blocked momentarily.
But this moment was enough for Shi Xiaole. Keeping his center of gravity low, he moved swiftly backward.
The maces crashed down where he had just stood. The inflated force punctured two holes, several dozen feet deep, into the slope below as if the entire mountain range was shaking incessantly.
"What a powerful attack!"
A martial artist at the eightfold Dragon Gate Realm gulped, feeling a chill all over his body.
If it were not for the protection provided by the mountain’s Array System, he had no doubt that the air brought by the two maces would shatter his organs. The Invincible Lord’s position on the leaderboard no longer seemed as invincible.
This is the dictator-like power of a master in the False Divine Barrier Realm. Even with his disintegrated martial powers, he could still overpower all the lords in the world. But thinking about it, having battled to this point with Tie Yunzi in his state, how strong would Shi Xiaole be?
"With the power of martial arts, my junior brother’s strength has increased at least by half. Hehe, this kid won’t last long."
The round-faced man gritted his teeth, finally finding some relief.
He admitted that the Kirin had caught him off guard, but the outcome would not change. The opponent would undoubtedly be defeated today. Even if he put up a valiant fight, years later, people would gradually forget the course of this battle and remember only that the Kirin had been defeated, and that was enough.
"Tie Yunzi, don’t waste any more time. Finish him quickly for your master!"
Xing Shuzi secretly communicated with Tie Yunzi, sounding impatient.
With his aura rising exponentially, Tie Yunzi’s robe inflated, and the nearby void warped with his breath, like layers of viscous mercury. Any external force intrusion was immediately disintegrated.
"Hahaha, Breaking Dragon Extinguishing Sky Hammer!"
With his chest high, Tie Yunzi laughed heartily as if he was the victorious one, then he abruptly swung the merged hammers towards Shi Xiaole.
A cross-shaped light beam, appearing from nowhere, rushed towards Shi Xiaole in a blink.
Under the impact of the previous hammers, Fei Wenyu and others could barely see the afterimage. But this time, even the shadow vanished, leaving only the endless deafening explosions.
"Wind Kill!"
At the same time, Shi Xiaole compressed his Sword Qi and swung it with the fastest speed in his life.
The cross-shaped light beam flickered slightly, and the Sword Qi seemed to hit a steel plate, automatically deflecting to both sides. The weakened cross-shaped light beam still hit Shi Xiaole with the same speed.
Sizzle!
The deflecting Sword Qi converged in front of Shi Xiaole, like a penetrating aurora piercing towards Tie Yunzi, but it was constantly melting under the effect of the Attract and Repel Martial Arts, and in the end, it was shattered by Tie Yunzi.
Boom...
The cross-shaped light beam exploded violently, people were momentarily speechless, all they could hear was the consistent humming.
A figure was forced back about two thousand meters before finally stopping. His hair flew straight back like a waterfall, interlaced with two strands of white.
"Kirin has been pushed back."
"That’s normal. No lord can defeat a master at the False Divine Barrier Realm. Holding on for this long already proves Kirin’s talent."
"Wait, look, he seems to be unharmed."
Someone pointed at Shi Xiaole with surprise.
After enduring such a terrifying attack, anyone would be harmed, but apart from his heavy breathing, Shi Xiaole showed no signs of injury?
The audience gazed at him incredulously.
"What?"
The hardest to accept this was Tie Yunzi. Breaking Dragon Extinguishing Sky Hammer was his most powerful technique, only second to his Killing technique. But under full power and all cards on the table, he only managed to push back Shi Xiaole?
"Just a bit short."
Shi Xiaole took a deep breath.
Truth be told, his opponent’s attack had already reached a level capable of severely injuring him.
But under the triple defense of the Heavenly Sword, Vajra Unbreakable Body, and the Undying Seven Illusions, sixty percent of the attack was offset. He dodged thirty percent, leaving only ten percent hitting him. After being converted by Life and Death Dual Qi, the lethality significantly decreased, which prevented him from getting injured.
But as a result, Shi Xiaole had undoubtedly consumed a lot of his Vigorous Air and he wouldn’t be able to keep it up for long.
On the other hand, his opponent enjoys the blessings of martial power, and it was not difficult for him to unleash his ultimate moves. Moreover, he has also suppressed the Wind True Intent at all times, so normally, he had less than a thirty percent chance of winning.
Shi Xiaole finally understood why no lord could defeat a master at the False Divine Barrier Realm. Even with his usual combat power, there was only a thirty percent chance of winning. One could imagine what the end would be like for others.
"Kirin, you were lucky to block once. Still, I don’t believe you can block twice, three times. You are destined to be defeated!"
Tie Yunzi roared hoarsely. Angrily, he manipulated his twisted martial power and Vigorous Air, evolved it into bizarre irregular shapes, and furiously charged towards Shi Xiaole to rip him apart.
"Destined to be defeated? We’ll see about that."
Shi Xiaole replied indifferently.
Just when the audience was confused, a point of cyan aura suddenly lit up from within him, as dazzling as a brilliant diamond. Then, countless transparent cyan rays burst forth from this center point, piercing through the heavens and earth, reaching the endless distance.
At first glance, it looked as if a green sun had appeared over the sea of clouds, casting a light like those of the fairy worlds in myth, magnificent and beautiful.
However, the green light was not scorching hot, it rather conveyed a sense of ethereal and sharpness. Hard to capture with the naked eye, just a few glances gave the illusion that one’s eyes were being punctured by a sword, which was particularly terrifying.
The Endless Risky Peak suddenly fell silent, the air seemed to freeze like frost, then the silence was broken, setting off a noisy outcry that pierced the clouds.
"What is this ..."
"Martial arts power, I’m sensing martial arts power, it must be a lie!"
"Wind, it is Wind True Intent, but it’s condensed much more than Wind True Intent, it also contains the breath of Sword Way; could it be Wind Sword Way? The Wind Sword Way that only a swordsman who has reached the Divine Barrier Realm has the qualification to master?"
People were almost mad, crazily staring at the absurd scene before their eyes.
The power of martial arts can only be mastered by experts in the Divine Barrier Realm, this is a popular rule in the Martial World. Even experts in the False Divine Barrier Realm can only master the remnants of this power.
However, from the aura that Shi Xiaole released, people actually sensed a hint of complete Wind Sword Way. Although it was still very weak and seemed to be just in embryonic form, it was enough to shake the world.
In terms of quantity, Shi Xiaole’s Wind Sword Way was weaker than Tie Yunzi’s Attract and Repel Martial Arts. But in terms of quality and hierarchy, the former was far superior to the latter!
"Could it be, could it be that the Kirin is already a Terrestrial Immortal at the Divine Border?"
Wu Siming was unable to calm down, his voice trembling.
Duanfang Xiu took a deep breath and said, "No, there is no trace of any vital energy of the world in his Vigorous Air. The Wind Sword Way is only just budding."
After he spoke, Duanfang Xiu appeared somewhat dazed.
At this moment, he wished that Shi Xiaole was a Terrestrial Immortal, but unfortunately, he was not. His charm clearly remained at the Dragon Gate Realm level and he had not yet been baptized by the vital energy of the world.
How great is the talent to comprehend the Wind Sword Way without reaching the Divine Barrier Realm at the Dragon Gate Realm level?
"Good lad, hiding so deep?"
On the mountain peak where the Devil Path masters were, a ferocious-looking young man in black was taken aback, unable to believe his eyes.
Surrounding him, faces were continuously losing color in shock. The shock was so great that there were even no extra emotions stirring.
"Hm?"
Let alone others, even Mu Ling, Duanmu Keren, and Gui Zhihang were somewhat unsettled and could no longer maintain their detached manner.
"Could any of you achieve that at the Dragon Gate Realm?"
After a moment of silence, Gui Zhihang asked the two.
Mu Ling snorted, his handsome face with deep features had a look of surprise and a hint of reddening hint of grudging. "I was only slightly off."
Duanmu Keren remained silent, seemingly not hearing Gui Zhihang’s question.
But Gui Zhihang had already understood his meaning. When he looked at Shi Xiaole again, his eyes were different, they were the same eyes he used when looking at Mu Ling and Duanmu Keren.
In the previous battle, the Kirin had already won his respect. Now, he completely regarded the other as an entity of the same level and no longer showed any disdain.
In fact, not only Gui Zhihang, but the attitudes of Mu Ling and Duanmu Keren also underwent subtle changes.
"Impossible!"
The round-faced man nearly bit his tongue, and Star Listener, at his side, had twitching eyelids, his pupils contracted, and he didn’t even notice his nails digging into his flesh due to excessive force.
"A true prodigy!"
The elderly man with a long beard could only voice those four words.
Comprehending the power of martial arts with a body of the Dragon Gate Realm, even the previous four geniuses had not achieved.
However, he had heard from his master that more than seven hundred years ago, the Martial Emperor was suspected of having achieved this. Before the Martial Emperor, there were several existences with shocking cultivation but unknown to the world, who had achieved all this.
Could the Kirin be comparable to those people?
It is unknown what achievements will be made in the future, but at least there is a trend at this moment.
Behind the elderly man with a long beard, a young man with thick eyebrows and a pretty nun remained silent, just looking at the figure in the distance.
Above the sea of clouds, the young man in blue with his black hair like a waterfall hanging vertically, with a couple of strands of white by his temples, looked like a wind god sword carved from jade amidst the swirling sword aura and wind around him, imposing and unchallengeable, that commanded awe and obedience.
"You, you, it’s impossible!"
Tie Yunzi was the most shocked of all, his face pale, his eyes were filled with bloodshot lines, like a fierce beast on the verge of madness.
"Nothing is impossible."
Before revealing the Wind Sword Way, Shi Xiaole hesitated for a while, but without revealing the Wind Sword Way, if he intended to defeat Tie Yunzi, he would inevitably have to reveal the Heart Thunder Sword.
Though the Heart Thunder Sword seems insignificant now, it represents the combination of true intent and spiritual power, and after reaching the Divine Barrier Realm, it means the combination of martial arts and spiritual power.
As far as Shi Xiaole knew, the way of martial arts and the way of spiritual power are two completely different paths. Since ancient times, no one has ever been able to combine and apply them.
Even the Martial Emperor couldn’t do it!
Comprehension of martial arts power, though also astonishing, at least makes sense, at most it is because of his high mental quality.
Where two injurious factors conflict, one should take the lesser. Shi Xiaole chose to reveal his martial arts power.
As for yielding, that’s impossible. Upon reaching his level, he had realized how important the undefeated momentum is to a martial artist.
