Chapter 762: Shao Sijun versus Jian Wuque!
The earth beneath Su Yi quaked, crumbling inch by inch. The devouring force that pulled at everything disappeared. With a single strike, the ancient copper-colored python shattered.
Light rained down, dispersing in all directions.
Su Yi’s eyes brightened, and he swiftly propelled himself forward using his inner energy. Following the direction where the light was dissipating, he stepped forward and once again unleashed a palm strike toward the front.
As if responding to his presence, a ripple appeared in the void, revealing a rift. Seizing the moment, Su Yi stepped forward.
“Whoosh…”
As Su Yi’s figure passed through the rippling void, everything before his eyes suddenly transformed.
This was the same location Su Yi had been several hours ago; he remembered it clearly.
“Fantasy, truth, and falsehood!”
Drawing in a sharp breath, Su Yi felt profound shock and lingering fear in his heart. Only now did Su Yi fully comprehend that not only were those shadowy images of demon beasts illusions, but he himself had been trapped in a fantasy throughout.
The illusion was remarkably powerful, leaving Su Yi astounded. This was the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm, purportedly connected to the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm, both known to be the domain of Soul Tamers.
Inwardly, Su Yi made a firm decision. It seemed that after the Saint Martial Assembly, he would certainly seek out Xi Wuqing to learn more about the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm.
“Whoosh…”
Not far away, several figures materialized. Upon spotting Su Yi in the distance, they frowned and appeared reluctant to approach him. They seemed cautious and avoided him as they passed.
Su Yi exhaled in relief. He had indeed escaped the illusion realm, but several hours had been lost. This meant he had fallen significantly behind. If he couldn’t break through at the fastest pace, it appeared that even possessing strong abilities would ultimately prove futile.
He consumed a pill to replenish his vital energy. Although the previous expenditure had been substantial, it remained within acceptable limits. However, having witnessed everything within the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm, Su Yi dared not show the slightest carelessness and had to maintain peak condition at all times.
Back on his journey, Su Yi proceeded with even greater caution. If he were to become trapped in the illusion realm again, it would pose a serious problem.
Though Su Yi knew that employing the Hundred Transformations Step would consume tremendous vital energy, he had fallen behind by several hours and had no alternative. He needed to catch up and hoped others would encounter obstacles, giving him more opportunities.
Moving with great care, after a while, he sensed an astonishing surge of energy ahead, permeating the atmosphere with tension.
In the broad valley, many people gathered outside, stopping to observe something, though none dared approach.
Su Yi, his curiosity piqued, leaped onto a large boulder from a distance. There, he observed two figures in the valley, poised and ready to strike at any moment.
These were two young individuals, both standing atop massive rocks and facing each other from afar.
Strictly speaking, Su Yi had encountered both of these young individuals before. The young man on the left wore a long green robe with intricate embroidered patterns adorning its collar and cuffs. His jet-black hair was tied up, and he stood tall and straight upon the giant rock. His entire being exuded grace and charm, along with an innate air of nobility.
Such a young man, when viewed from afar, emanated an unapproachable aura, making others feel like mere specks of dust in comparison.
“Beast Emperor Sect—that must be Shao Sijun!”
Su Yi’s heart trembled as he observed from afar. He suppressed his energy and recognized this young man whom he had seen before. Within the Beast Emperor Sect’s ranks, the aura and temperament the young man possessed were sufficient to prove he was the most powerful Shao Sijun of the current generation.
On the right stood a young man who appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He looked slightly older than the previous person but possessed the same extraordinary demeanor. His face was handsome, radiating a sharp yet elegant temperament, and his bright eyes shone like lightning.
Su Yi initially didn’t recognize this person. However, he had seen this young man among the Divine Sword School’s ranks in the Central Region. The young man bore the Divine Sword School’s emblem on his shoulder, clearly marking him as a disciple.
“The Divine Sword School’s Jian Wuque, hmm…”
Intrigued, Su Yi recalled some news he had heard. This Jian Wuque was reportedly a disciple from the previous year of the Divine Sword School and had been that year’s most formidable representative. He possessed exceptional talent and impressive strength, and his age aligned perfectly with the Saint Martial Assembly requirements. Even several disciples from previous years had traveled to the Central Region to participate.
“Divine Sword School’s Jian Wuque, I have heard of you!”
Shao Sijun regarded Jian Wuque, his voice carrying an elegant and magnetic quality. His mouth corners remained perfectly poised, seemingly always graced with a dazzling smile. However, the determination in his eyes was unmistakable.
“Shao Sijun, I have heard of you as well!”
Jian Wuque faced Shao Sijun as vibrant energy swirled around his body.
“Let us battle then, and allow me to witness the strength of this year’s Divine Sword School disciples!”
Shao Sijun’s eyes filled with growing determination as he gazed at Jian Wuque. Having encountered him, he desired a battle to prove himself.
“Let us battle, indeed!”
Jian Wuque nodded as swirling energy surrounded him. A sharp aura circulated around his form, growing increasingly intense. He sensed Shao Sijun’s battle-ready determination and welcomed the challenge. He, too, needed a battle to prove himself.
“Excellent!”
The simple magnetic phrase escaped his lips as Shao Sijun’s smile vanished. Suddenly, dazzling aura enveloped him, causing his black hair to flutter. His energy surged, and with a powerful stomp, he launched himself from the boulder. His fist, wrapped in energy, resembled a meteor as it crashed directly toward Jian Wuque.
The punch carried fierce aura, like a ferocious beast descending from the mountains.
“Bzzz!”
Jian Wuque drew his sword, his expression calm yet fierce. His blade emanated powerful wind and thunder aura, with shimmering radiance flowing around it. He skillfully maneuvered the weapon, unleashing sharp sword energy that carried formidable presence.
“Hooray!”
As the two young men engaged, before their attacks even connected, the valley filled with flying sand and rolling stones, resembling a tempest. This display caused the gathered onlookers to pale in comparison. No wonder they were considered the representatives of the younger generation from their respective sects.
A fist approached Jian Wuque, emitting a faint roar like a wild beast. Radiant light burst from the strike, as if a ferocious creature was pouncing, displaying fierce and formidable might.
Jian Wuque’s sword gleamed sharply, its radiance flickering and blooming into numerous rays, blocking the fist and dispersing its vital energy.
“Boom!”
Massive rocks crumbled all around as powerful energy swept through, sending clouds of dust billowing skyward!
The two figures then simultaneously descended from their positions, engaging in another lightning-quick exchange.
“Incredible, such strength!”
Many observers stood in awe. These two young individuals possessed remarkable power and unique talents. In that moment, witnessing these two peers, none could maintain any sense of arrogance.
“Zoom…”
Jian Wuque moved with exceptional speed, activating his sword technique to unleash dazzling, sharp, and swift sword light.
Su Yi observed from afar. This was undoubtedly the profound sword technique of the Divine Sword School, mysterious and intricate. Jian Wuque was indeed powerful, worthy of being the previous generation’s pinnacle representative. He far surpassed Liu Yunchuan, Ou Luo, and others.
