“No wonder Master Siyin opened the back door for you; you truly possess the qualifications to warrant such favor!” Ji Ou said with a face full of admiration. “However, being at the second level of the Wanfa realm, it would be utterly humiliating if I couldn’t defeat you.”
“Brother Ye, from this point on, I’m really going to give it my all.”
In the distance, Shi Wuheng muttered under his breath, “What a chatterbox.” He had already said he was going to get serious, and now he was saying it again. How many times did he need to repeat himself?
Masters Mu Ye Yun and Rong Siyan, however, exchanged an amused glance. Although Shi Wuheng was scolding Ji Ou, everyone in Lingjian Mountain knew that Ji Ou and Jiang Yihan often acted recklessly and caused trouble, leading to numerous punishments from Shi Wuheng. But in reality, Shi Wuheng cared deeply for his two disciples.
In the arena, Ji Ou clenched his palm, and a surging energy burst forth from within him. The Lei Huang Dong Tian Dao’s blade light coalesced, and a terrifying force raged outward.
“Eight Desolations Heaven-Splitting Blade!”
Ji Ou’s momentum rose to its peak, and an overwhelming pressure bore down on Ye Wushuang. This strike was more domineering and fierce than any of his previous attacks.
Ye Wushuang’s entire body also condensed and elevated its power. His sword intention, already at the perfect level, merged with the Tianya Sword and integrated with the Tian Gang Seven Yuan Sword Technique.
“Tian Gang Seven Stars Style!”
With a mental command, his long sword slashed downward. The sword emerged like a star, its radiance dazzling. As Ye Wushuang’s sword struck, seven beams of sword light rose into the air, forming a pattern akin to the Big Dipper, each seemingly independent yet part of a whole.
The terrifying sword energy collided once more with Ji Ou’s condensed blade energy. In mid-air, the Seven Stars sword energy and blade energy clashed, drawing the attention of everyone present. But soon, it became apparent that Ji Ou’s blade energy was being suppressed by Ye Wushuang’s sword energy. This was simply inconceivable. Moreover, this suppression continued to grow.
Eventually, Ye Wushuang’s condensed sword energy completely devoured the blade energy that Ji Ou had unleashed. Ji Ou was forced to retreat dozens of meters, his face filled with shock. He had actually been pushed back by Ye Wushuang. This was truly unimaginable!
Ji Ou snorted and said again, “Brother Ye, I still have my ultimate move. If you can withstand it, then I, Ji Ou, will admit that I am no match for you!”
As Ji Ou spoke, his entire body burst with power. At this moment, it seemed as if all of Ji Ou’s strength had become one, as if he had achieved a state of unity between man and blade. The man was the blade, and the blade was the man, inseparable!
In this moment, Ji Ou had become entirely different. It was as if, in the unseen realm, the man and the blade were constantly transforming, sometimes the man, sometimes the blade.
“Damn it, something feels off,” one disciple muttered.
“I don’t know… Senior Brother Ji’s blade feels kind of eerie…” another replied.
“It’s more than eerie. I feel like he’s become… a blade capable of splitting the heavens and cleaving the earth!” a third added.
Everyone present sensed the strange transformation in Ji Ou. It was not a change in his spiritual technique but a unique alteration in his very being—mysterious and eerie.
“Shi Wuheng, you’re really generous, teaching Ji Ou all your secrets!” Mu Ye Yun remarked with some astonishment.
Shi Wuheng, however, just laughed and said, “Even if I teach him, he still has to be able to learn it. I taught Jiang Yihan too, but that good-for-nothing… he just couldn’t grasp it.”
No one knew what Master Shi Wuheng’s ultimate skill was. But the state that Ji Ou was now displaying was indeed very strange—mysterious and inexplicable. Yet, when Ji Ou’s blade finally struck, everyone’s confusion turned into sheer astonishment.
