Chapter 740: Chapter 739: Semi-Supreme Martial Arts
If Yao Mie Sheng was an invincible overlord overlooking the world, his every move intimidating the hearts of men, then Shi Xiaole was an unparalleled swordsman who roamed the world. Fearless of monarchs and tyrants, he did things his own way; under his sword, all things surrendered.
When both their auras reached their peak, it seemed as if time and space came to a standstill. The wind stopped blowing, the clouds stopped changing, and even people’s thoughts were momentarily stalled.
The next moment.
An immensely vast fist descended from the heavens. At hundreds of feet away from Shi Xiaole, the air beneath his feet had already been pushed away, creating a near vacuum-like channel. Outside the channel, the wind billowed, roaring like thunder.
"First-level, fifth-tier strength!"
The facial muscles of a fifth-tier Earth Immortal twitched.
The casual punch of Yao Mie Sheng had astonishingly reached the first-level fifth-tier level, and from the looks of it, it was no less powerful than the strike from Heavenly Phoenix and Nu Yanluo.
"The young master is so powerful!"
"Destroying Saint, so young yet so mighty! He truly has the temperament of the Destroying Saint!"
Having not seen Yao Mie Sheng make a move, the masses from the Devil Path held their presumptions, though they were still somewhat uncertain. Now, having witnessed the might of this punch, all their doubts were dispelled.
With just this punch, the Heavenly Phoenix and the Jade Lion were absolutely no match for him!
A shaft of periwinkle light, as sharp as a spear, surged from the bottom up, anti-thrusting against the punch. It wasn’t Sword Qi; rather, it was a kick.
Whoosh!
A huge mushroom cloud of space-time ripples soared into the sky. As the waves of the aftermath spread, a series of array light curtains lit up on hundreds of surrounding peaks, and only slowed down after a few breaths.
The low-rank Earth Immortals on the peaks were bathed in cold sweat.
If it were not for the protection of the Array System, even if they exhausted all their strength, they might not have been unharmed in the aftermath.
With the first strike, these two young monsters demonstrated the gap between them.
"Did he block it?"
Xiao Yujian stared blankly at Shi Xiaole.
"His momentum is in no way inferior to Yao Mie Sheng’s, it would be impossible for him not to block a single move. The key is to see how long he can last."
The voice of Yun Chuoxi was somewhat trembling, her hands tightly clenched.
To say something that might label her a traitor to the Devil Path, she really hoped someone could curb Yao Mie Sheng’s momentum and harshly defeat him. However, within the Divine Barrier Realm Third Level, even searching the entirety of the Flying Horse Dynasty would not find anyone who could be a match.
Now that a Kirin finally appeared, Yun Chuoxi could only pray that he had countless tricks up his sleeve and astonishing abilities. She did not dare to hope that he could defeat Yao Mie Sheng, but at the least, make the latter suffer a bit.
The main reason being, the Kirin is too young. At twenty-eight, he has only recently reached the Divine Barrier Realm Third Level. When compared to the accumulated strength of Yao Mie Sheng, he is at a great disadvantage.
Gui Zhihang, Duanmu Keren, and Mu Ling all looked at each other, their faces extremely complicated.
Could it be that the young Kirin, who was of the same fame as them, but much younger, has grown so powerful?
"Tempest Martial World!"
In mid-air, Shi Xiaole’s legs moved like the wind, creating four completely different powers of water, fire, thunder, and lightning. Like a multicolored angry dragon, it fiercely attacked Yao Mie Sheng, its power was shockingly imposing, earth-shattering.
Boom!
Yao Mie Sheng, standing motionless on his original spot, smashed the multi-colored angry dragon into pieces with one punch, his figure as unwavering as a mountain, displaying an invincible sense of immovability.
The moment the multi-colored angry dragon disintegrated, it was sucked into a whirlwind. Manifold forces from heaven and earth were gathered in it. Within the storm, they could only faintly see a figure in green clothes, walking in the wind like a god, appearing capable of crushing the clouds above.
Vigorous energy shook the earth!
Shaking his head, Yao Mie Sheng’s punch astonishingly reached the mid-level fifth-tier strength, splitting the whirlwind in half. It disintegrated and vanished in no time.
But at this moment.
The disintegrated wind power transformed into razor-sharp sword energy, pouring down like a torrential downpour, instantly enveloping Yao Mie Sheng. Its power was even superior to the Divine Wind Movement.
Pfffft...
The surrounding Vigorous Air initially held firmly, but it was quickly riddled with holes. Just as the sword energy was about to pierce his body, Yao Mie Sheng almost instantaneously appeared to the right, his stone-like face now showing a hint of appreciation.
"The heart moves, the sword shifts. The sword follows the heart’s change!"
An old man with a long beard muttered to himself.
"What do you mean?"
A charming nun asked.
"The Kirin’s comprehension revolves around the Wind Sword Way. Normally, wind is the sword, and the sword is the wind. The two are inseparable. But the Kirin has apparently reached another realm, able to separate the wind from the sword and freely transform between them, all at his thoughts."
Upon reaching this point, even the old man with the long beard had to marvel at the Kirin’s outstanding talent, from Controlling Sword with Qi Skill to separating wind and sword. His methods were truly astonishing.
However, despite this, he couldn’t threaten Yao Mie Sheng in the slightest. How terrifying must the latter be?
"Kirin, Mysterious Sparrow is the opponent I’ve chosen. Yet you, you’re another surprise. Use all your skills. I hope you’re worthy of the Destroying Saint Order I personally bestowed."
Yao Mie Sheng’s lips curled up slightly. His words contained a hint of a senior instructing a junior, which surprised everyone. They thought, Isn’t the Kirin seen as a threat?
"Disappointed? I say the same to you."
Whoosh!
Shi Xiaole suddenly accelerated and appeared in front of Yao Mie Sheng. His speed was not inferior to the latter’s instantaneous shift and even surpassed the movement technique of the Heavenly Phoenix.
In the air, remnants of sword energy lingered.
It was indeed Crossing the River with a Single Reed.
But at this moment, Crossing the River with a Single Reed was disguising its true form, seeming more like a unique Flying Sword skill to the observers.
Thud!
A figure was knocked back, his body compressed the air throughout the path into a cone shape. At his chest level, the protective Vigorous Air was sinking inwards, almost punctured.
People stared wide-eyed, their eyeballs almost popping out, jaws dropping.
"Yao Mie Sheng was pushed back, unbelievable!"
"What kind of movement technique did Kirin just use, managing to trick Yao Mie Sheng?!"
The crowd erupted.
Because of his young age, people would instinctively overlook Kirin’s strength, or rather, deliberately ignore it. Everyone has jealousy, having a prodigy was already unacceptable, let alone Kirin was starting to show more extraordinary talents than a prodigy.
But now, they had to acknowledge something, namely, that the other party might indeed have the qualifications to challenge Yao Mie Sheng!
"Your response is quite slow."
Shi Xiaole said.
Yao Mie Sheng didn’t say anything, but his complexion had changed.
Clang!
Not giving everyone time to react, Shi Xiaole drew his sword from the sheath. The Red Left Sword, following the movement of his body, traced a magnificent red starlight in the air, the tip of the starlight was aimed at Yao Mie Sheng’s thirty-six vital points.
With the support of Crossing the River with a Single Reed, this simple sword attack had the potential to threaten a regular Fifth Tier Earth Immortal.
Thud!
A deep gold mace blocked the Red Left Sword.
Yao Mie Sheng pulled out the weapon from his waist.
Of course, his fists could block Shi Xiaole’s attack, but he won’t ruin his face to swell up.
Strong attack, coupled with unpredictable flying skills, even if Shi Xiaole didn’t reach his level, at least he was very close to it. He was going to defeat him with his real skills.
"Destruction Aurora Mace!"
If anyone approached Yao Mie Sheng, they would notice that his eyes were different. There was a hint of vitality in his cloud-like pupils which made him seem like a reawakened demon king, even more rampant than before.
The deep gold mace suddenly emitted a black deep light which broken Shi Xiaole’s sword intent as soon as it appeared.
Such a thing had never happened before.
Even through the intense energy of the opponent’s mace, Shi Xiaole could feel a dominating aura that destroys everything and even seemed to suppress the Wind Sword Way. This implied that the other party’s Martial Path was higher than that of Wind Sword Way and was a semi-Supreme Martial Art.
Semi-Supreme Martial Arts surpassed top-level Martial Arts and was only half a step away from the legendary Supreme Martial Arts, anyone who could master it were world-class talents.
The terrifying part was, Yao Mie Sheng’s semi-Supreme Martial Arts had reached the level of forty percent, barely inferior to fifty percent of top-level Martial Arts.
Thud Thud Thud!
The sword and mace clashed continuously, the sword speed was faster, but the Deep Gold Mace was heavier, each strike was nearly thirty percent more powerful than the Sword Qi, no matter how fast the sword speed was, it could not break through the attack of the Deep Gold Mace.
"Gale Blade!"
Retreating, Shi Xiaole swung his sword.
Wind Extreme Sword Technique was a second-rate sword technique, but it was the most handy sword technique other than the killing move. With Shi Xiaole’s current bonus value, it’s not that he can’t buy first-class superior sword techniques, but they would be hard to match with the Wind Sword Way, and the power may not be as good as the Wind Extreme Sword Technique.
The same was true for other Martial artists.
The black mace light collided with the green sword light, the green sword light instantly dissipated, the black mace light pierced through it. The destructive aura filled the sky and even attacked Shi Xiaole’s protective Vigorous Air.
"Young Master’s Destruction Martial Path, capable of destroying everything in the world, invincible at the same level!"
One of the elders from the Destroying Saint Sect sneered.
There were very few people in the world who could comprehend Supreme Martial Arts, only a few, such as the Martial Emperor and the owner of the Ghost Carriage. It is because of this that in the upper circles of the Martial World, no one believes that Shi Xiaole would be better than the Martial Emperor.
His Wind Sword Way has destined his upper limit to be not as good as Martial Emperor.
Yao Mie Sheng is different.
True Destruction Martial Path is a Supreme Martial Art, and Supreme Martial Arts are transformed from Semi-Supreme Martial Arts. Yao Mie Sheng in the future has a great chance to be as good as Martial Emperor. How could he lose to a mere Kirin?!
At some point, Yao Mie Sheng’s eyes also showed a destructive light. He swung his mace, the black light opened up like a monster’s mouth, swallowing Shi Xiaole’s body, and even several thousands of miles of void behind it was swallowed up.
In the corresponding area of the mountain peak, everyone felt a sudden darkness, unable to see or hear anything, and even their senses were destroyed.
What a terrifying strike, even though its attack power was only at the mid-Fifth Tier level, the effects it carried were enough to blind even the high-Fifth Tier Earth Immortal and left them waiting for death.
Is this Yao Mie Sheng’s real power?!
Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle...
In the ubiquitous darkness, countless green sword silk rose against the sky, with the intention of a sky full of frost, tearing down the darkness, and tearing the sky.
Shi Xiaole had Sword Qi surrounding his body, aggressively charging towards Yao Mie Sheng, he didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage!
"It’s that move again!"
Shen Canghai’s pupils contracted. Of course, he wouldn’t forget Thousand One, only this time, the power of the move had far surpassed the previous one.
