Free Web NovelThis was Xiao Li's first time experiencing such a profound insight into the Dao of the Sword.
His sword suddenly slowed down.
There was no need for words.
Ying Bing, on the opposite side, tacitly slowed her attacks as well.
This process only lasted a few seconds.
The next moment, when Li Mo drew his sword again, at first glance, the sharpness of the sword seemed much weaker.
Amidst the intricate sword light and flower shadows, the Chixiao Sword was like a flickering candle in the rain, swaying repeatedly but never extinguishing.
Instead, it grew stronger and stronger.
However, a hint of relief flashed in Ying Bing's eyes.
He had comprehended.
The essence of Prairie Fire Swordplay lay in its endless vitality, in its ebb and flow.
Clang, clang, clang—
The ice-blue sword lights clashed dozens of times in the blink of an eye.
In the eyes of outsiders,
Li Zhenchuan was initially suppressed, constantly in peril yet always able to stand firm, gradually turning from weak to strong, and actually contending equally with Ying Bing.
"These two's swordsmanship, surely they didn't start practicing it in their mother's womb?"
"I'm already a bit lost."
"What Li Zhenchuan is using looks like Prairie Fire Swordplay, but not quite...."
The duel between the two had already exceeded most people's understanding of the Nine Meridians Martial Arts Tournament.
This was simply not the standard a rising star should possess.
Gradually, everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the arena.
The ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ next moment.
The momentum of the Chixiao Sword surged abruptly.
Like a prairie fire, it tore through the heavy rain curtain.
Exclamations immediately erupted in the arena.
Li Zhenchuan was going to win?
Was the outcome going to be decided so quickly?
Li Mo, however, knew what was happening; it was because Ice Cube intentionally allowed him to familiarize himself with the sword momentum, deliberately not changing her moves.
Among ten thousand people, ninety-nine hundred ninety-nine would be helpless against this sword; the only exception was Ying Bing.
Indeed.
Ding—
The sword blade cut through the air, about to pierce Ying Bing, but the Frost Sky Sword had already flickered before his eyes.
The tips of the two swords collided with incredible precision.
Chixiao, imbued with the intent of the Prairie Fire, pressed Frost Sky to its extreme bend.
But Ying Bing's sword momentum, like a flickering candle in the wind, did not disappear.
Li Mo's heart was solemn.
This scene gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Too familiar.
In a flash, he saw Ying Bing's slightly pursed lips and quickly reacted.
Prairie Fire Swordplay!
A sense of crisis surged in Li Mo's heart, and he exerted more force, redirecting his sword. Without any pause or need to recover Qi, it struck again.
This was the advantage of having thirty-six main meridians in the Qi Blood Realm.
His sustained power was endless; he did not need to worry about his strength running out.
Clang—
Frost Sky rotated in her delicate wrist, and the 'Wind and Rain Obscurity' momentum of Searching Flower Swordplay rose again, mixed with the endless vitality of Prairie Fire.
One sword, two stances!
Prairie Fire emphasized accumulation and building momentum, while 'Wind and Rain Obscurity' focused on continuous flow and overwhelming with momentum.
The two were perfectly superimposed by Ying Bing, blending seamlessly without any discord, even compensating for each other's deficiencies! free𝑤ebnovel.com
Li Mo sighed in his heart.
Ice Cube was still Ice Cube.
It was indeed unrealistic to expect to fight her to a draw using only swordsmanship.
Of course, Xiao Li had no intention of winning with his sword from the start.
He actively disengaged using Wind Shadow Step, his figure abruptly retreating dozens of feet.
"Amazing."
Li Mo said sincerely.
"This is nothing."
Ying Bing did not pursue, standing still with her sword on her back, showing no hint of complacency.
In her previous life, she had not mastered two stances simultaneously in the Inner Breath Realm; she only became proficient at it in the Guan Shen Realm.
For him to make her use it now was already commendable enough.
What surprised her even more was Li Mo's enduring breath and profound strength, which she had never seen in any other Qi Blood Realm cultivator.
Was this... also obtained from the Legacy he received?
The audience below was completely silent at this moment.
Even on the stage, there was a moment of silence.
The brief exchange between the two had already exceeded their understanding of the word 'Genius'.
"Are they even letting people live?"
Elder Su of Luoxia Peak finally let out a long breath.
Once upon a time, she too was called a sword Dao Genius.
However, it was only during the Guan Shen Realm that she vaguely touched upon the existence of sword momentum, and only in the Inner Scenery Realm, by observing the scene within her heart, that she mastered one type.
These two youngsters were more outrageous than the last....
"Is there a possibility?"
"Ying Bing probably hasn't used her full strength yet?"
Qian Bufan mumbled.
Everyone immediately became even more confused amidst their daze.
Indeed, what Ying Bing knew was far more than just swordsmanship.
The Legacy from the bottom of the Clear Abyss, her own Physique, had not been fully utilized yet; she hadn't even used her Inner Breath just now.
"Let's wait and see."
Elder Han He looked at Li Mo with deep eyes.
Ying Bing hadn't used her full strength, but had that kid?
Just as the Elders were conversing in low voices.
"I'm going to get serious," Li Mo said.
"I'm one Realm higher than you."
Ying Bing looked at the serious young man, then suddenly parted her red lips slightly:
"If you touch my clothes, you win."
Ice Cube rarely showed her domineering side.
This meant she was also getting serious.
"Good."
These words ignited a small flame in Li Mo's heart.
Commonly known as getting a bit carried away.
The next moment.
The two on the field moved.
Buzz—
A dense, sharp aura of soldier slaughter vibrated, and the mere aura carved marks on the bluestone ground.
Li Mo himself seemed to have transformed into a precious Mystic Weapon, dazzling to behold.
Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body, for the first time, was fully activated by him in combat.
From the Eye of Destiny, he had long known that Ice Cube's strongest reliance was definitely not swordsmanship.
It was herself!
So Xiao Li decided to go for a direct approach.
Boom—
The Chixiao Sword, enveloped by the sharp Killing Intent, hummed and vibrated; this Mystic Weapon had become the eye of the storm.
With boundless sharpness and immense power, it almost swallowed Ying Bing.
One force breaks all methods.
This was not something Li Mo had comprehended from the sword.
At the same time.
As the Frost Sky Sword was unleashed, clouds and mist suddenly arose, seemingly nonexistent yet omnipresent, within their creation and destruction, yet concealing a sharp edge of light and shadow.
No sword light was seen, yet it felt as if ten thousand swords were pressing down.
Although he was only fighting Ying Bing, Li Mo inexplicably felt as if he had fallen into a heavy encirclement.
No matter how Li Mo attacked, no matter how fierce the soldier-slaughtering sharpness, it could not stir many ripples in the misty colors.
The audience in the arena was completely lost.
If, at first, both their sword techniques surpassed their understanding, now they couldn't even tell who had the upper hand.
They could only see the ebb and flow of the misty light, and the sharp surge of power dissolving into the vastness.
The Qi of the two even caused a thin mist to rise in the air.
Ding—
Li Mo finally caught Ying Bing's figure within the illusory misty colors and launched a full-power strike without hesitation.
However, what awaited him was not a clear sky after rain, but the girl's slowly fading figure.
He missed.
"No wonder she said I win if I touch her clothes..."
Li Mo was genuinely sweating profusely.
At the same time, he deeply knew that he could not continue to drag this out.
The layers of feints hidden within the misty light, imbued with Ying Bing's Inner Breath, were incredibly cold, and he could barely even think clearly at this moment.
Soon, it would even be difficult for him to move.
This was the red destiny, this was... a person born to answer the call of the martial Dao world.
Ice Cube was simply so strong it made one despair.
The Elders on the high platform also sighed imperceptibly.
If they were to go up, even maintaining their Inner Breath Xuan Dan Realm, they would not have a shred of a chance against Ying Bing.
They probably wouldn't even last as long as Li Mo.
They saw more in it.
Ying Bing was using misty light and Inner Breath to simulate Sword Qi.
Compared to Xiao Qin's Inner Breath externalization, it was laughably childish.
Moreover.
It was not just a simple simulation; sometimes it was agile and ethereal, sometimes powerful and fierce, sometimes ancient and unadorned... ever-changing, yet resonating with each other.
One word: incredible.
Two words: terrifying.
"Hoo..."
"If misty light can hide swords, then can the soldier-slaughtering sharpness also..."
Suddenly, Li Mo seemed to have an epiphany.
And in his other left hand, hidden beneath his robe, the starry pestle quietly fell into his palm.
Everything around him suddenly slowed down.
"Hmm?"
Ying Bing instantly noticed that even her movements had become sluggish.
On the opposite side, Li Mo had somehow drawn closer.
The young man didn't use his sword; the Chixiao in his right hand hung low.
He lifted the robe of his left hand, or more accurately, the hammer within the robe, and slowly brought it down.
The speed was not fast.
However, it gave a feeling that no matter where one fled, no matter how one dodged and weaved, it was inescapable.
Fixing the Universe!
Ying Bing seemed to be deep in thought.
The Sword Qi filling the air contracted, and a trace of Taiyin Power was used as a thread, twisting the Sword Qi into a ball.
Boom—
Time around them seemed to freeze.
The next instant, countless auras surged out, uncontrollably shooting in all directions.
The scene immediately became somewhat chaotic.
Shangguan Wencang slammed the table and instantly appeared on the arena, pressing his single hand down.
In his palm, there seemed to be a circle that devoured all things, capable of absorbing everything, returning all to nothingness, and dissipating the storm without a trace.
His gaze was fixed on the center of the arena.
Everyone else was the same.
Who won?
However.
Under everyone's gaze, they suddenly fell silent again.
What had just happened?
Xiao Li's strike shattered the condensed Sword Qi.
He had used a technique impossible for the Qi Blood Realm to activate; even with his thirty-six meridians of Qi Blood power, he was almost exhausted.
However, that wisp of Taiyin Power did not dissipate, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
It was really f*cking cold.
He didn't have time for any other action; in a daze, he wrapped his arms around Ying Bing's waist, falling into her embrace, and they tumbled to the ground together.
Hmm...
Xiao Li's eyes were covered.
His already sluggish mind now only had one thought left:
"Even if it's Ice Cube, her embrace is still as soft and fragrant as jade..."
Ying Bing seemed to be stunned.
She didn't push him away immediately.
Everyone: "! ?"
Elders: "! ! ?"
Spectators from various Sects: "! ! ! ?"
Passing dog: "? ? ?"
Their hanging hearts...
Finally died. freēwēbnovel.com
The already chaotic scene became even more chaotic.
