Chapter 739: 738
The more Shi Xiaole delved into Controlling Sword with Qi Skill, the more he realized its terror. It was not just a flashy technique, as some considered it to be.
Heart Thunder Sword had already established the boundless potential of Controlling Sword with Qi Skill.
And the power of Heart Sword made Shi Xiaole understand that it was a vastly terrifying assassination technique. Once cultivated to its limit, it could break all laws single-handedly, disregarding any deadly moves or peerless techniques, cutting them all with one strike!
Of course, Shi Xiale was still a long way off from reaching that realm, but he had seen the road ahead. As long as he remained diligent and determined, he would surely reach it!
As Shi Xiaole was deep in thought, the people around him were already plunged into boundless shock, with a slight sense of confusion.
They thought it would be a fierce battle, with both parties showcasing their unique skills. The unique skills were present, but it was a one-sided victory - no, ’one-sided’ could not even begin to encapsulate the enormous gap between the two.
It was simply an instant kill.
From beginning to end, Kirin hadn’t personally demonstrated his sword techniques. Three hundred feet away, his sword had already crushed Blood Yama.
Decapitating a man a hundred feet away, the crowd saw the shadow of ancient swordsmen through Shi Xiaole.
"This isn’t real. This can’t be real..."
"Blood Yama couldn’t even withstand Controlling Sword with Qi Skill. How would Nu Yanluo and Iron Yama fare? Could it be that Kirin’s strength is really that formidable?"
"We can’t jump to conclusions. The power of Controlling Sword with Qi Skill may not be weaker than Shi Xiaole’s own unique techniques, so although it seems like he won easily, he has actually used most of his strength."
"Right, right, that makes sense!"
Following a brief silence, there was immediately a clamor of voices on Endless Risky Peak.
Not to mention Blood Yama, even the crowd couldn’t accept that Shi Xiaole won the duel effortlessly. Fortunately, there were those with keen eyes who pointed out that Controlling Sword with Qi Skill was Shi Xiaole’s unique technique. This appeased the crowd a bit.
But even so, it was still shocking.
Since the battle lasted for a very short time, people did not fully understand Blood Yama’s exact strength. But it was fair to assume that even if it wasn’t as strong as Nu Yanluo and Iron Yama, it wouldn’t be far off.
By comparison, Kirin’s strength seemed all the more unfathomable. Perhaps only speed-type veterans like Heavenly Phoenix, or defense-oriented powerhouses like Iron Yama, could withstand Controlling Sword with Qi Skill and truly probe the opponent.
"Nice, I suddenly have the desire to spar with him."
A strange light flashed through Duanmu Keren’s beautiful eyes.
The best way to stimulate one’s speed is undoubtedly to exchange pointers with someone who is equally fast. Clearly, Shi Xiaole met this criterion.
Perhaps a spar with him could elevate my speed to the next level, Duanmu Keren thought secretly.
"What’s your confidence level of withstanding the technique?"
Gui Zhihang turned to Mu Ling.
"A hundred percent."
Mu Ling replied calmly.
Gui Zhihang smiled. He had forgotten that Mu Ling’s spiritual power was extraordinary; he naturally reacted faster than others, and general speed wouldn’t be a problem for him.
But was this truly Kirin’s trump card?
Gui Zhihang shook his head. The answer to that question would only be revealed in the future. As his gaze gradually grew serious, he was about to fly out of the mountain peak when he suddenly realized that Shi Xiaole had no intention of returning.
Indeed, many people had noticed this. In the eyes filled with incomprehension and doubt, Shi Xiaole suddenly looked towards the seven-thousand, five-hundred-meter peak. A faint tremble of Sword Qi spread out, shattering the air into fragments.
"Yao Mie Sheng, come down for a fight!"
Wow!
Many people were first stunned, then showed expressions of disbelief, thinking they must have heard wrong.
"Is he crazy? He’s challenging Yao Mie Shen?"
"What presumption!"
Fighters of the Devil Path were either furious, scornful, or coldly watching.
Yao Mie Sheng was not comparable to the three Yanluos. From his debut, none of the martial world masters he challenged could take ten of his moves. According to bystanders, these ten moves were intentionally held back by Yao Mie Sheng.
If Nu Yanluo could barely reach the initial Fifth Tier, then Yao Mie Sheng might have already surpassed it. This was a qualitative difference.
The Right Sect, a portion of the Destroying Saint’s followers, made no effort to hide their scorn. They had a vague idea of Yao Mie Sheng’s strength, and so their attitude towards Shi Xiaole’s challenge was one of watching a clown perform.
Well, it’s just as well. They would gladly witness the making of their Young Master’s unparalleled reputation by the Kirin’s foolish challenge, in front of both the Righteous and Devil Paths. What delight that would be!
Aunt Mei shook her head.
Yun Chuoxi let out a low sigh.
She wouldn’t forget Shi Xiaole’s life-saving grace in the Tri-Pole Palace, but his current actions were somewhat impulsive.
Gui Zhihang was stunned for a while, eventually letting out bitter chuckles. He finally realized the meaning behind Shi Xiaole’s interception. Thinking of Shi Xiaole’s constantly surging will to battle, it turned out that he had planned this long ago.
But, was he that confident?
"Your cultivation is too low."
A sentence came from the peak at 7,500 meters high. Simple and plain, yet it exuded a sense of dominance and superiority. In response to the Kirin’s challenge, he was utterly indifferent.
Many masters from the Devil Path burst into laughter.
Even some masters of the Righteous Path couldn’t help but blush in embarrassment.
Everyone knew that Yao Mie Sheng never fought with those whose cultivation was lower than his own. The Kirin, who was so vigorous and grand, was being completely ignored. It was a blatant humiliation.
"Idiot!"
Blood Yama sneered with contempt, as if their previous humiliation and pent-up anger were somewhat relieved by yelling out the insult.
But just then, an unstoppable sword force skyrocketed. The cloud sea below was instantly shattered, and the sky above was pierced into a giant hole. The Sword Qi broke through the sky and earth, overshadowing the human world. Wherever it spread, the clamoring voices were ruthlessly suppressed, shattered, until they were no longer audible.
"Is that enough?"
The voice of Shi Xiaole was cold, yet it shook the heavens.
"What, what? He’s also at the third stage of the Divine Barrier Realm. Was he suppressing his realm just now?"
"My God!"
Many people were frenzied, their eyes wide open. The rest of the people were left speechless, breathing heavily.
From Shi Xiaole’s sword force, they felt an earth-shaking, unstoppable, and awe-inspiring peerless blade. It cut through the air, causing the air itself to shatter. It cut into a person, causing them to disappear.
It was so strong and sharp that those who had just taunted began to flush and pale alternately, as if they had been slapped.
Why did the Kirin suppress his realm? Was it to demonstrate that he was the true invincible amongst his peers?
Everyone’s heart raced.
"Bastard!"
With his mouth gaping, in the end, Mu Ling spat out these two words.
He couldn’t deny it; even he was stunned.
At twenty-eight years old, he had entered the Divine Barrier Realm two years ago, yet his cultivation had reached the third stage of the Divine Barrier Realm. The Kirin’s rate of progress could only be described as unprecedented. At least within the last thousand years, no one could compare, not even the Martial Emperor!
Gui Zhihang and Duanmu Keren, too, were momentarily stunned, revealing just how shocked they were.
"Kirin, you’re quite impressive!"
Finally, Yao Mie Sheng stood up. With this, it was as though the heavens and earth had been shortened, making him the upright and unparalleled centre of the universe. He was the master of all, emanating an aura of supremacy.
Many people felt their knees weakening, nearly wanting to kneel and worship, to submit to this invincible aura.
Zzzzz...
The two clashing auras stirred up a tornado that was hundreds of meters in size on the Endless Risky Peak. The sky roared, and the earth trembled, creating a sensation of imminent collapse.
Everyone felt hairs standing on their necks. Even the thought of this combined aura made many Fourth Tier Earth Immortals experience a stifling sensation in their chest as the aura rose continuously.
Although they were the result of the two’s joint effort, it showcased unmistakably just how unparalleled they both were!
