Chapter 975: Chapter 974: The Power of the Selfless Sacred Bone_1
As the sun and moon’s radiance cast down, Wudao Xuan emitted an endless glow from within, his aura rising continuously, confronting Shi Xiaole’s sword with a punch that seemed to press the whole heaven and earth against Shi Xiaole.
Boom!!
But it was the ten-thousand-meter land behind them that couldn’t withstand this force and was pressed down several meters, the pressure-generated power crazily surging, forcing some of the Void Origin Martial Emperors in the distance to deploy their protective Vigorous Air.
"This must be Wudao Xuan’s killing move, right?"
"Among the top Human Realm Martial Emperors, who can compete with him?"
Everyone was alarmed.
It’s known in the Daxia Martial World’s ultimate kill list that the currently recognized number one Human Realm Martial Emperor is Jinfeng Martial Emperor, whose killing move ranks twelfth.
Here, it’s worth noting that the ranking of a killing move is not absolutely equivalent to the person’s ranking.
For example, "Evil Dominates the World," ranks eleventh in the human list, but as a legacy killing move, even though Ling Shangyun has cultivated it successfully, without grasping its essence, he could not possibly be a match for Jinfeng Martial Emperor.
However, in Wudao Xuan, people felt that unmatched aura.
Those in the audience friendly with Jinfeng Martial Emperor even secretly compared the two and ultimately came to a startling conclusion—Wudao Xuan’s strength surpassed that of Jinfeng Martial Emperor.
As the punch approached Shi Xiaole, the surrounding sword intent shattered, the crowd just began to think that the Kirin was sure to lose when an indescribable, dreamlike Sword Qi spread out.
This Sword Qi had the sharpness of the Wind Sword Way and the oddity of the Illusion Martial Way, flowing silently as Shi Xiaole waved his hand gently, as if a light smoke swept across.
But Wudao Xuan’s originally unstoppable punch, upon being struck by this Sword Qi, burst apart like hot water on butter, sizzling away into nothingness.
"What?!"
The Qingyuan Sword Emperor cried out in disbelief.
And he was not the only one who lost his composure.
Shi Xiaole’s sword just now had clearly fused the Wind Sword Way with the Illusion Martial Way. While the extent might not be deep, who in history had ever merged two major Martial Ways?
No one could!
Now even those who despised Shi Xiaole were forced to admit, this was a once-in-a-lifetime talent superior to Wudao Xuan.
If Wudao Xuan’s consecutive three moves could rank in the top ten of the Daxia Martial World’s human list, then Shi Xiaole’s sword move could undoubtedly do the same.
The shock of the people was far from over.
From the start of the battle to the present, although lengthy in description, it was actually just a matter of a few hundred breaths of time, and the crowd gradually realized that Shi Xiaole was starting to gain the upper hand.
His sword was too fast, often Shi Xiaole could attack three times in the time it took for Wudao Xuan to strike once, and he did not merely forcefully onslaught but varied the speed, fast and slow, unpredictable.
In the air, everywhere were chilling sword shadows, covering Wudao Xuan’s figure, indicating that Shi Xiaole completely dominated the battle. Under his assault, Wudao Xuan was left with only the capacity to fend off the blows.
"Will Toppling Fist!"
All composure gone from his face, Wudao Xuan fiercely thrust his fist out, only to meet a long sword midway that brushed past the force of the punch, switching from a sweep to a thrust.
Wudao Xuan sneered sarcastically, recklessly shifting sideways with his left hand swinging out from beneath his right arm, scattering a blue afterimage. Before he could react, the long sword thrust from above his head, forcing Wudao Xuan to retreat.
Unexpectedly, this thrust was also a feint. Shi Xiaole, revealing his figure, held the sword with both hands and brought it down forcefully.
With a bang!
Wudao Xuan stumbled backward, flying away, a bloodstain appearing on his arm.
The crowd erupted into an uproar. Especially some of the Void Origin Martial Emperors supporting Wudao Xuan, whose faces grew ugly. By now, who could not see that Wudao Xuan was no match for Shi Xiaole?
"Wind Vanishing Smoke!"
Not giving his opponent time to breathe, Shi Xiaole once again executed a move, which was the killing technique he created after initially merging the Wind Sword Way and the Illusion Martial Way.
Humming.
At that moment, a majestic and immense natural energy began to spiral around Wudao Xuan, rising and falling with grandeur. As soon as Shi Xiaole’s Sword Qi burst in and sliced through the natural energy, it was also diminished and weakened.
At the same time, Wudao Xuan’s Vigorous Air became increasingly imposing, as if even the previous consumption had been replenished.
"It’s that move again!"
The Seven Slaughter Martial Emperor’s breathing became rapid.
To be honest, even though Shi Xiaole had previously held every advantage, he still didn’t believe that the opponent could defeat Wudao Xuan, for no one understood more than he how terrifying the Natural Martial Way, which transforms everything for one’s own use and turns the opponent’s momentum into their advantage, could be.
No matter how strong your attack is, in the end, it will become the opponent’s energy. Born invincible, how can one even fight against that?
The Void Origin Realm Martial Emperors who had experienced the battle of the twenty-fourth floor, needless to say, and those who had not seen it before were struck as if by lightning, unable to believe that such a tactic existed.
"Truly worthy to be that person’s disciple. Every Supreme Martial Art in the world has its own extraordinary effect. This child’s Natural Martial Way is about to undergo a transformation."
Although belonging to opposite sides, the Wood Empress couldn’t help but express her sincere admiration.
At her level, she knew all too well that no matter how much one emphasized the importance of martial arts, it would never be an exaggeration. Though all the Heaven Realm Martial Emperors in the world comprehend top-level martial arts, even among the top levels, there are distinctions in strength and weakness.
And only those possessing the Supreme Martial Arts are said to be able to step into the ranks of the legendary Forbidden Martial Emperor.
Shi Xiaole’s Wind Sword Way, although also half-Supreme Martial Art level, had reached its potential, incomparable with the Natural Martial Way.
At this moment, under Wudao Xuan’s full force, Shi Xiaole’s painstakingly accumulated advantage instantly vanished into thin air.
"I told you, you cannot defeat me."
Wudao Xuan roared long and thunderous, reversing his previous decline and pressing forward with each step, each move aimed at Shi Xiaole’s vital points. The Void Origin Realm Martial Emperors supporting him cheered loudly, a sense of relief washing over them.
"What does it matter if his swordsmanship is excellent? The gap between him and Young Master is fundamental and can never be filled. It will only widen further,"
said the Wind Thunder Blade Queen indifferently, without concealing the mockery and self-satisfaction on her face.
Some nodded while others remained indifferent. Even the Different-eyed Sword Emperor and the True Water Emperor were stunned by Wudao Xuan’s talent, their eyes flickering non-stop.
"That’s not right!"
Mu Ling’er’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Faster than her voice was a series of thunderous booms. The void was pierced by sword light, rushing towards Wudao Xuan time and again, forcing him to keep his distance.
The Heart Thunder Sword!
Shi Xiaole never believed that there existed any technique, any martial way that was invincible in this world. Looking at it from another perspective, even his Life and Death Martial Way had its limits when converting energy, let alone the half-baked Natural Martial Way.
The so-called invincibility is but a joke!
With his spirit power greatly increased, Shi Xiaole’s Heart Thunder Sword was no longer what it used to be, at least surpassing Wudao Xuan’s limit of endurance. Therefore, each time he resisted, he also suffered backlash. After six consecutive assaults, Wudao Xuan’s throat moved, and he spat out a mouthful of blood mist.
"You... "
Without time to wipe away the blood, Wudao Xuan looked at Shi Xiaole in disbelief. For the first time, he felt shock. The opponent had too many tactics, even his ’transforming objects for oneself’ had been broken through.
But today was too important; he couldn’t afford to lose.
"You forced my hand, kill!"
With a fierce shout, the seemingly defeated Wudao Xuan burst forth with a dazzling white brilliance from his back. In an instant, all things in heaven and earth became his to command, driven by his will.
As he threw out a punch, it was as if the universe had turned inside out, an unmatched force overwhelmed Shi Xiaole, vowing to annihilate him completely.
This was the power of the Selfless Sacred Bone!
