In the realm of the Sacred Dan Sect, Dongfang Xiu is truly a peerless genius, a prodigy among prodigies.
He has reached the third level of the Myriad Laws, where the power of the Myriad Laws is fused with the attribute of wind. Moreover, he has grasped the subtle and profound realm of the Sword Momentum, and he also wields the so-called Sword Path of Slaughter.
Under the ferocious onslaught of the Ethereal Sword Qi, Dongfang Xiu still summoned his blood-stained sword and engaged in a fierce battle with Ye Wushuang, blow for blow, move for move.
With each sword strike and every technique, the duel intensified.
“Celestial Big Dipper Seven-Star Style!”
Suddenly, in a moment of decisive action, Ye Wushuang leaped into the air. The Tianyan Sword in his hand radiated brilliant light, merging man and sword into one, with the sword intent reaching a state of perfect completeness, the pinnacle of its power. A terrifying aura of malevolence seemed to transform into seven beams of sword light at that very instant.
But in this moment, the Ethereal Sword Qi that Ye Wushuang had gathered was no longer six thousand, but ten thousand! Having truly reached the first level of the Myriad Laws, Ye Wushuang could now draw upon the Ethereal Sword Qi within the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Taming Pagoda, breaking through to ten thousand.
At this moment, ten thousand beams of Ethereal Sword Qi coalesced into the brilliance of the Seven Stars, illuminating the daytime sky.
“Break!”
With a single command, the Seven-Star Sword Qi descended from the heavens, targeting Dongfang Xiu.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The sword qi moved like the wind, incredibly swift and even more deadly. Upon witnessing this, Dongfang Xiu’s expression finally changed.
“Sword Path of Slaughter.”
“Relentless Nine-Strike Slaughter!”
With a roar of fury, Dongfang Xiu brandished his long sword, unleashing a terrifying sword might that erupted in full force. Blood-red sword qi condensed into nine beams, each strike of his sword amplifying the attacking sword shadow, making it more formidable.
Boom, boom, boom…
In that moment, the heavens and the earth resounded with thunderous roars. The ground beneath them was torn apart by the sword qi unleashed by the two combatants. The Seven-Star light descended from above, while the nine blood-red giant swords clashed in the air.
Gradually, the Seven-Star sword light began to overpower the blood-red giant swords. Crack, crack, crack!!!
The blood-red giant swords started to crack.
Suddenly, a deep, resonant thud echoed throughout the battlefield.
Rumble, rumble…
The Seven-Star sword light slashed towards the ground, tearing apart the nine blood-red sword shadows and pressing Dongfang Xiu’s body downward.
The earth trembled incessantly. Within a radius of fifty miles, the ground seemed to experience an earthquake, with countless fissures spreading like the roots of a tree or the tendrils of a vine.
Ye Wushuang stood in mid-air, panting heavily. This battle had been arduous for him. Yet, it had also allowed him to rapidly master the control of the Myriad Laws. A true genius always thrives on combat, for it is the swiftest path to cultivation.
At this moment, a massive pit three hundred zhang deep appeared on the ground. At the center of the pit, the soil was scorched and blackened. Lying there, with wounds bleeding profusely, was Dongfang Xiu.
Ye Wushuang hovered in the air, the Tianyan Sword gleaming faintly in his hand. He gazed at Dongfang Xiu and said coldly, “It seems that I am the hunter now.”
Within the pit, Dongfang Xiu stirred and rose to his feet, only to cough up large amounts of blood. With a tear of his hand, a piece of spiritual armor fell off his body. The light of the armor had long faded, on the verge of collapsing.
“A king-level spiritual armor, and you shattered it!” Dongfang Xiu spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of his internal organs. Looking up at Ye Wushuang, a flicker of deep apprehension flashed through his eyes.
Ye Wushuang, who could be so feared by the Sacred Dan Sect and the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion that they would even issue a kill order, was indeed no ordinary person.
“I admit you are strong,” Dongfang Xiu snorted coldly. “But if you think you can kill me just because of this, you are far too naive!”
“Is that so?”
Ye Wushuang sneered. “Didn’t you think it would be easy to kill me earlier? If it weren’t for this shell, you would probably be dead already.”
Dongfang Xiu let out a cold snort, the blood sword in his hand glowing incessantly.
“My Sword Path of Slaughter is far from exhausted!”
With that, Dongfang Xiu leaped into the air, holding the sword with both hands and delivering a downward slash.
“Relentless Heaven-Slaying Strike!”
As he roared, the boundless spiritual energy of the world converged towards him. At the same time, a blood-red radiance burst forth from within him—it was his own vital essence!
This fellow was using his own vital essence as a catalyst, merging it with the blood sword, and then amplifying it with the might of the sword’s momentum!
Even if this strike could slay Ye Wushuang, Dongfang Xiu would need several months at the very least to recover. The loss of vital essence was something Ye Wushuang had experienced before. Unless one possessed the rarest of heavenly treasures, it would be extremely difficult to restore, and it might even leave an irreparable wound on one’s future path of martial cultivation.
At this moment, however, Ye Wushuang’s expression remained utterly calm.
“If you wish to die, I shall grant you that wish.”
As he spoke, the power of the Myriad Laws surged within him, rolling like waves.
