Chapter 66: Take This Sword Strike, See What You Can Learn!

Qin Xuan’s imposing voice rang in everyone’s ears. Watching Ao Heli slowly rise from the pool of blood, Xiao Yuanjing and the others wore grim expressions.

They were the most elite heavens’ prides in the Youlong Domain. How could they stoop so low as to join forces to attack Qin Xuan.

Moreover, even though Ao Heli had been struck down by a single punch, their hearts held only wariness, not despair.

Each of them considered themselves second to none in spirit. If mere defeat of another made them lose the will to fight, they’d have fundamentally lost a true strongman’s heart!

Besides, they didn’t believe they were incapable of subduing Ao Heli. Who was stronger, who was supreme? Only battle could tell!

“I admit we underestimated you before,” Xiao Yuanjing, Jiujiang King’s chief disciple, stepped directly onto the air. Gone was his earlier contempt; he now gazed gravely toward Qin Xuan and declared.

“But if you think this is enough to claim the title of the Youlong Domain’s Supreme Prodigy, that’s pure wishful thinking!”

“Your physique may be strong, but I wonder if you can handle this spear?”

As his voice ended, power erupted around Xiao Yuanjing. A spear, gleaming as a magic tool, materialized in his hands. Boundless sharpness radiated from its point, enhanced by an intense spear intent.

“Holy cow! Xiao Yuanjing’s starting with his ultimate move right from the get-go? This aura feels like he’s unleashing the King-Grade Martial Skill—Jiujiang God-Severing Spear!”

“By the heavens! This is blazing hot! Finally, I get to see the power of a legendary King-Grade Martial Skill!”

“And it’s the Jiujiang God-Severing Spear cultivated to its peak stage! The power of this strike could make even a Marquis-Level Expert take note!”

“True! Focus on one expertise! Qin Xuan might have a strong physique, but that’s probably his only strength. His other aspects are likely weak!”

Seeing Xiao Yuanjing gathering momentum, the sharp spear intent spreading, the onlookers couldn’t contain their excitement.

Every King-Grade Martial Skill was an incredibly precious artifact. And mastering one typically required either becoming a Star River Realm Monarch or being a supremely talented Marquis-Level Expert.

For someone like Xiao Yuanjing to master it in the Grotto-Heaven Realm was a once-in-a-thousand-lifetimes opportunity.

The spectators were desperately eager to witness what kind of power this King-Grade Martial Skill could unleash!

“Jiujiang God-Severing Spear! Kill!”

Amid the chatter of the crowd, Xiao Yuanjing exploded with an icy aura and thrust his spear.

He leaped forward, his spear concentrating all his spiritual energy. The imposing aura unique to a King-Grade Martial Skill swept out in all directions.

Nine illusory great rivers materialized behind him. They flowed together, converging powerfully. The spear shaft, carrying a wave of destructive force, expelled its energy through the tip, shooting directly toward Qin Xuan!

Rumble!

This spear strike possessed overwhelming majesty, making even the void tremble.

The onlookers watched with pounding hearts, eager to see how Qin Xuan would respond.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan merely shook his head.

“Just a King-Grade Martial Skill. Why the fuss?”

His words caused an uproar.

Just a King-Grade Martial Skill? Do you even know what a King-Grade Martial Skill is?

Just as the crowd was about to mock Qin Xuan, they suddenly sensed an overwhelmingly majestic aura radiating from the stage.

“This aura… how is that possible?” Ouyang Lie on the stage closest to Qin Xuan said with disbelief.

“World-Shaking Dragon Fist, True Dragon Shakes the World!”

Qin Xuan tightened his right fist again. Behind him, the phantom of a True Dragon appeared. The dragon’s fierce eyes glared out as primal energy emanated from it.

At the same time, boundless dragon aura coiled around his fist. Majestic and tyrannical dragon might radiated from it.

It held immense, ferocious power within. It slammed straight into Xiao Yuanjing’s Jiujiang God-Severing Spear!

KABOOM!

A terrible boom echoed anew. Two King-Grade Martial Skills collided violently in the void.

An earth-shaking shockwave of energy instantly erupted, stunning everyone.

After the shockwave dissipated, another figure went hurtling through the air.

He landed heavily beside Ao Heli, who had just struggled to his feet in the blood. The spear clattered next to Ao Heli’s tree-trunk-thick staff.

Seeing Xiao Yuanjing also subdued by a single punch, Ao Heli’s eyes briefly held fellow-feeling.

Then, looking towards the white-robed figure before the throne seat, profound wariness and shock welled up within him.

Not only possessing that supremely powerful physique… he even succeeded in cultivating a King-Grade Martial Skill!

“Did I see right? Qin Xuan… unleashed a King-Grade Martial Skill too?!”

“Lord above! How could that be! His physique is already so strong! How did he find the time to cultivate a King-Grade Martial Skill!”

“Moreover, Qin Xuan’s King-Grade Martial Skill seems… even higher-grade than the Jiujiang God-Severing Spear!”

“Too insane! Just who is this Qin Xuan!?”

“Didn’t I tell you? He’s our True Martial Imperial Son!”

“Pah! Your True Martial Sacred Land dares claim such a freak?!”

“Oh, come on!”

The moment Qin Xuan unleashed the World-Shaking Dragon Fist, the entire assembly was left utterly dumbfounded.

High in the sky above, Jiujiang King, the Star River Realm Ninth Layer peak Monarch, now glared toward the True Martial Saint Lord with a dark expression.

Noticing this glance, the True Martial Saint Lord merely shrugged. What could he say? If your disciple is weak, blame yourself.

“You cultivated a King-Grade Martial Skill too?” Xiao Yuanjing struggled to his feet, clutching his caved-in chest. He stared at Qin Xuan in utter disbelief.

“King-Grade Martial Skill… I suppose.” Qin Xuan nodded slightly.

Truthfully, he didn’t just know King-Grade Martial Skills; he wielded Emperor-Grade Martial Skills too!

If he wasn’t afraid the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger would skewer Xiao Yuanjing in one shot, he’d gladly show this guy exactly what real talent (cheating) looked like!

“Hah! I too have a blade. Would Brother Qin let me test against your King-Grade Martial Skill?”

After witnessing Ao Heli and Xiao Yuanjing, two top heavens’ prides, getting knocked down by Qin Xuan’s punches, Liu Liming, the Heavenly Blade Saint Son, couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Suppressing the tumult in his heart, he drew the magic tool saber at his waist. Stepping onto the air, he approached Qin Xuan with utmost gravity.

Buzz… Buzz… Buzz!

Standing before Qin Xuan, Liu Liming unleashed his Second-Level Peak saber intent fully. A bitingly cold saber intent raged outward. Sword edge energy ripped through the void.

Exploding with his sword-skill intent, Liu Liming also adjusted himself to peak condition instantly. He was determined to test Qin Xuan’s World-Shaking Dragon Fist with the long saber in his hands.

Hearing Liu Liming address him respectfully as Brother Qin, some of the hostility faded from Qin Xuan’s expression.

“Seeing that you are a single step away from Third-Level Sword Intent, I shall present you with one sword strike. How much you can grasp is entirely up to your own comprehension!”

Qin Xuan’s words struck everyone present as utterly absurd.

They were just drawing breath to protest… when suddenly, a devastatingly keen sword intent pierced the sky above!

This overwhelming sword intent didn’t just sting the faces of the observers… it roared like a tsunami within their very souls!
