Chapter 776: Chapter 775: The Overconfident Kirin
"How can this be? The Dustless Sword Emperor is not putting up any resistance?"
Many young people were stunned.
Although Xuanwu Sword King was exceptionally strong, compared to the Dustless Sword Emperor, it felt like the latter was in a different league. The Dustless Sword Emperor shouldn’t be this helpless.
"What do you know? The Dustless Sword Path of the Dustless Sword Emperor is extremely unique. During a fight, it goes from weak to strong, with its upper limit depending entirely on the opponent. It is just the beginning now."
The Six Evils Martial King from the Blood Emperor’s Cave snorted coldly, his gaze turned to the raging Wu Buyu, he smirked coldly.
The Dustless Sword Path is probably one of the most peculiar martial arts in existence. Its power isn’t prominent at first, but it becomes increasingly terrifying as the conflict continues, until it completely crushes the opponent.
The only unfortunate part about Zhuge Xuan getting trashed before was that his strength was too weak!
"Dustless Sword Path?"
Shi Xiaole’s eyes gleamed.
The legends about the Dustless Sword Emperor were varied, with no accurate accounts. At that level, Divine Strategy Academy dared not reveal any detailed information.
So before this, Shi Xiaole was not clear about the specifics of the Dustless Sword Emperor. He had a premonition that this time he would gain a lot.
On the stage.
The battle had heated up.
With the aid of Xuanwu Sword Technique, Wu Buyu was unstoppable. He knocked the figure in white off again and again. When the figure’s body was halfway dissipated, an unexpected transformation happened.
Whoosh!
The figure in white moved like lightning, breaking through the layers of Sword Qi, and struck at Wu Buyu. In front of him, a tortoise shell shield appeared in time. The long sword struck it, making an enormous metallic clash.
"The first strength surge."
Wu Buyu did not dare to be careless.
Each time the opponent’s attack reached a certain level of power, the Dustless Sword Path would surge. The best way was to obliterate the opponent before they could match his strength.
With the use of the rain transformation technique, the Xuanwu Sword King launched a fierce attack. Amid a series of loud bangs, the white figure continued to fade. When it was reduced to a third of its original form, its speed and strength surged again.
The second strength increase.
The white figure seemed to have a bit of humanity as its eyes were flashing. As it passed over those below the stage, it gave people a palpable sense of apprehension. The next moment, it waved forward casually.
The star-level stage darkened, not like the arrival of nightfall, because the dark night is not so heartless and desolate, and it cannot devour everyone’s sight.
"One of the ultimate moves of the Dustless Sword Emperor, Dark to Pitch Black!"
The elder who spoke was from Jixia Martial Academy, his expression serious.
Click, click, click.
In the dark, a subtle shattering sound suddenly rang out. Then the curtain of night was torn open, revealing Wu Buyu’s body that was now bleeding from every pore.
"What... "
The crowd was horrified. Particularly the younger generation, who had never seen such a terrifying sword strike, and their faces were full of shock.
The figure of white gave off no consciousness, and naturally could not feel sympathy. It continued its attack relentlessly. In the series of alternating nights and lights, Wu Buyu was powerless to retaliate. His body was covered by a thick layer of blood, which did not flow down.
"As one of the seven peerless swordsmen, the Dustless Sword Emperor’s same-tier strength is unparalleled. Throughout history, how many people could actually fight him?"
"The Xuanwu Sword King is already unreachable, but the Dustless Sword Emperor is a rank above. Alas, when will the current generation be able to surpass the previous?"
"Difficult, difficult, difficult."
Many elders from top powers shook their heads in agreement, and along with their feelings, there was also a sense of unspeakable relief.
As peers and even seniors, they did not wish to see Wu Buyu pass this stage. Those seven peerless swordsmen were there to be revered, not to be defeated.
Of course, this possibility was originally extremely low, so low that it could be ignored.
"Quite interesting."
In a secluded cave dwelling, the Dustless Sword Emperor, dressed in white and looking young, smiled.
The Sword Evaluation Conference was held once every fifty years. Over the years, there had only been seven star-level swordsmen, averaging less than one every few hundred years. Initially, the Dustless Sword Emperor was quite optimistic about the Young Dragon this time, but it was a pity that the latter did not come, which disappointed him a little.
Now seeing Wu Buyu’s performance, the Dustless Sword Emperor felt somewhat cheered up. It was already quite extraordinary for a person under two hundred years old to force out the second power surge of Dustless Sword Path.
Night was torn apart again, and Wu Buyu’s face was covered with blood, but he didn’t admit defeat, so the figure in white did not stop attacking.
Many people could not bear to watch anymore.
But the Six Evils Martial King simply laughed coldly.
"Finally reaching your limit, shed your armour!"
Just then, Wu Buyu, who was now a bloody mess, let out a full-bodied voice.
Following this, under everyone’s widened eyes, a formidable, unprecedented Sword Qi suddenly burst from his body. The fresh blood coating his body condensed into a blood sphere the size of three inches in diameter, shooting forward.
Boom!
The power within the blood sphere made people’s hearts tremble, like the merger of the white figure and Wu Buyu’s forces. As soon as it exploded, the whole Sword Evaluation Mountain was filled with blood.
The light curtain surrounding the star-level stage bulged outward to almost ten meters before bouncing back. The entire stage was shaking continuously, giving the illusion that it was about to explode.
"So powerful, even stronger than the Dustless Sword Emperor’s ultimate move!"
"Is this the new killing technique created by Xuanwu Sword King? So he has been waiting here all along."
"Could he have successfully counterattacked?"
Everyone remembers clearly that the white shadow only had a third of its vitality left. Under such onslaught, it might have been completely annihilated.
Including the Six Evils Martial King, many people had already stood up.
The blood color dispersed, exposing the star-level ring in everyone’s sight, with only Wu Buyu remaining.
"Impossible..."
The Six Evils Martial King roared.
"Look quickly!"
Someone suddenly pointed to one side, where there was an almost transparent projection. Though barely noticeable, it was undoubtedly the white shadow.
A speck of white light emerged out of nowhere, and in the next moment, the white shadow returned to its peak state. No, its eyes were even more vivid than before, resembling a living person.
"The Dustless Sword Path, able to resist enemy damage. The reason it was hit just now was simply to stimulate its energy. To defeat the Dustless Sword Emperor, even if it’s just his Array System shadow, is as difficult as ascending the heavens!"
In another secluded cave dwelling, a man with silver-white lips looked at something with sharp eyes.
The Dustless Sword Emperor seemed to sense something and laughed, "Heavenly Silkworm Sword Emperor, I see you have a fighting spirit. Do you want to challenge me?"
"Feng Tiannan, you and I are fated to battle, but not now."
The Dustless Sword Emperor, whose real name was Feng Tiannan, was known to only a few people.
On the star-level ring, the situation was completely one-sided. To be precise, the white shadow had only used one move, Bright to Dark, which left Wu Buyu bleeding from his mouth and nose, with a wilting aura.
"I concede."
He jumped off the ring and wiped the blood from his mouth. Wu Buyu had used a great deal of energy to unleash that strike, which he was inspired to create after being hit by the wave attack. His current strength was less than a third of his peak condition.
On the other hand, the white shadow was getting stronger and stronger. Continuing to fight would only bring self-inflicted misery.
It was only at this moment that Wu Buyu truly felt the power of the Dustless Sword Emperor. It was a power that seemed invincible, one that made it impossible even to muster up the courage for a challenge.
The stronger an individual, the stronger the Dustless Sword Emperor they would force out, leading only to despair.
And this, was just a shadow from the Dustless Sword Emperor’s Array System.
How terrifying must the person himself be?
Everyone thought about this, and the venue instantly fell into deathly silence.
The expressions of the many Sword Kings and Martial Kings were constantly changing, while the younger generation looked on with faces full of admiration and longing. Was this the demeanor of the unparalleled swordsman? It was simply unattainable!
"Even the Xuanwu Sword King failed. Among the current top 100 Earth Immortals, I’m afraid only a handful of people like Young Dragon could have a chance to try."
"Young Dragon is not even sixty years old, he has already fought invincibly across the Divine Border, passing is just a matter of time, the remaining few are uncertain."
As they spoke, some people seemed to have thought of something, and either sooner or later turned to look at Shi Xiaole.
If Young Dragon could pass the star-level ring, then Kirin, following his current momentum, could also pass.
It seems that the next Sword Evaluation Convention would be even more exciting and intense than this one.
After the failure of Wu Buyu’s challenge, several peak Sword Kings, who were on par with him, did not miss the opportunity, but unfortunately, all of them failed without exception.
As for some other Earth-level swordsmen, they did not challenge the star-level ring. It was not that they were timid, but out of respect. When the gap in strength is too large, challenging the Dustless Sword Emperor is disrespect towards the seven unparalleled swordsmen.
This was an unwritten rule of the Sword Evaluation Convention.
By evening, almost everyone who should have gotten on stage had gotten on stage. Everyone knew that this Sword Evaluation Convention was coming to an end.
Seeing this, an Elder from Sword Evaluation Elegant Mountain was about to stand up and announce the end of the convention when he caught a glimpse of Shi Xiaole getting up out of the corner of his eye.
Then, everyone saw the young man in blue clothes leap onto the stage and land lightly.
It was the star-level ring.
Hiss!
There was a moment of silence on the site, followed by a series of incredulous gasps.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"What, he, he’s challenging the star-level ring?"
"Am I seeing things?"
No one could deny Kirin’s talent. The title of the first genius after the Martial Emperor was not just talk. But Kirin was still not even thirty years old. Wasn’t challenging the star-level ring a bit too early?
"Has he gotten too cocky, thinking he’s really invincible against his peers, invincible in the world?"
A man wearing an iron mask sneered coldly, it was none other than the Dragon Slayer Swordsman who had challenged Shi Xiaole at the Tri-Pole Palace and was defeated.
Among everyone present, the Dragon Slayer Swordsman was probably the one who most looked forward to Shi Xiaole’s defeat. Unfortunately, three great experts had been defeated by Shi Xiaole one after another, making him, who was sitting below the stage, full of jealousy and yet powerless.
He thought things would have passed this way, but he never expected that Shi Xiaole would be so audacious and overestimating his abilities, actually wanting to challenge the star-level ring.
Ha ha ha, everything has limits. He would love to see how this boy humiliates himself and loses all his prestige!
"Good guy, he doesn’t even look at the title of Earth-level swordsman. Or is it that he really has this confidence?"
Even Mu Ling, who prided himself on being arrogant, was taken aback.
