Seeing that Shi Wuchen was going all out right from the start, Kong Luoyue was not to be outdone. With a flip of his hands, the two pitch-black Dark Soul Spikes, one above and the other below, reflected a faint glow. His entire being seemed to have melted into the darkness, a stark contrast from the pervading autumn air.
It was as if he was a ghost, blending into the night like water and milk, as if it was made by nature. Only the two spots of dim light were like the last embers in the darkness, flickering without end.
In the next moment, Shi Wuchen leaped into the air, his long sword gleaming in the air. A chilly aura of autumn sliced through the air like a waterfall and came crashing down. In the process of its descent, a whistling autumn wind was generated, sweeping through the surroundings.
Halfway through the move, the sword gleam turned into autumn rain that poured down from the sky, shrouding the entire area. It was an indiscriminate attack that covered a large area!
As the saying went, an expert's skill would be known the moment he made his move.
The Demiurge-Flawed Ten, who had been clamoring to kick Shi Wuchen out of the Nine Supremes' sequence, looked unprecedentedly solemn when they saw Shi Wuchen's move.
They did not expect Shi Wuchen's swordsmanship to have reached such a terrifying level, far exceeding their initial estimation.
The sword intent was abundant!
It was only then that Shi Wuchen's voice rang out leisurely, "Kong Luoyue, you think too highly of yourself because you have a trump card. I'd like to see how many strikes you can take from me. This is the first strike of my Melancholy Desolation Swordsmanship. Autumn comes after the summer. I'm not afraid to tell you that the name of this move is Beginning of Autumn!"
Kong Luoyue's expression remained the same. His body swayed and turned into a cloud of hazy fog like a ghost, pulling a distance of a hundred feet in an instant. Ghostly fog rose around him. The two black gleams surged forward, one above and one below. Halfway through their journey, they turned into two long black rivers, one high and one low. They surged and surged, the waves surging and surging. Finally, they soared into the sky and blocked the autumn rain and wind, as if they intended to go against the trend and launch a massive counterattack.
At the same time, a cold voice rang out at the same time, "The gates of hell open, the Netherworld River comes!"
With two soft clanging sounds, the Autumn Intent and the Ghost Fog that filled the air rose again. The area within a hundred feet of where the two were fighting suddenly expanded to a space of five hundred feet. There was also a figure in green who shot up into the sky.
It was Shi Wuchen. He was one with his sword, and his body and sword became one. He soared into the sky at an incredible speed.
As Shi Wuchen's sword light soared into the sky, two more spots of dim light chased after it from below. It was as if the Nether River was mixed with two spots of dim light that had never been extinguished since ancient times, and its power was even greater than before.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the sword light that was rapidly rising to the sky. It transformed into many cold stars that fell in a fan shape. Halfway through, the cold stars had already turned into white frost that filled the sky!
"Ten thousand layers of autumn dew and frost! Take this, my White Dew! "
Seeing that another vicious move was coming, the raging Nether River rolled back abruptly. Kong Luoyue let out a long howl as his black silhouette shot out diagonally like an arrow. Although he was evading at top speed, the two beams of cold light in his hands changed direction and collided with Shi Wuchen's Autumn Intent Sword again.
"Home Viewing Platform, one look back!"
"Home Viewing Platform, one look back again!"
"Home Viewing Platform, one step back three times!"
The ghost-like Dark Soul Spike surged again and again, turning into the Nether River that flowed against the current. The waves rolled into the sky, and a large amount of Ghost Fog rose into the air. Its momentum seemed to be even stronger than Shi Wuchen's Autumn Intent Sword.
Dong Qitian shook his head as he watched. Yun Yang frowned as well, and the rest of the Demiurge-Flawed Eight looked regretful as well.
At this point, the outcome of the battle was already decided. Kong Luoyue was at a complete disadvantage.
Although the current situation was still stable and Kong Luoyue's three-move combo had given him a slight advantage, what was the actual situation?
Shi Wuchen had only used two moves so far, Beginning of Autumn and White Dew of the Tri-Autumn Sword Style. He had yet to use the Mid-Autumn and Late Autumn moves, but Kong Luoyue had already countered with four moves.
The current situation was one thing, but in terms of their respective trump cards, Kong Luoyue had fallen into an extremely passive position.
Dong Qitian and Yun Yang were not the only ones who could see it clearly. The rest of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten were well aware of it as well, having a general judgment of the battle.
As expected.
Shi Wuchen's sword light flashed. It was not only the sword light that was initially descending, but sword light surged up from the ground as well, forming a converging force that attacked from above and below. Then, another cold glint shot out from the gap between the top and the bottom, attacking Kong Luoyue forcefully!
"Heaven and Earth in Autumn Division! Take this, my Autumn Division! "
The cold glint was born from the converging sword of heaven and earth. Not only did it penetrate Kong Luoyue's ghastly fog, it was also aimed at Kong Luoyue's throat.
However, the unparalleled sword suddenly slowed down at the last moment before it hit Kong Luoyue. The tip of the sword drooped a little, deviating from its initial landing point.
Kong Luoyue had been crossing the Hidden Soul Stab, trying to focus his attack. A menacing ghost head was not formed and he did not have enough energy to gather. It was the slight delay that gave him a chance to turn the situation around, despite it being only a millimeter's difference. His eyes glinted as he sucked in a mouthful of Qi at the last moment. The skull that had already been formed dissipated abruptly as he hollered, "Come, let's go for it!"
The Hidden Soul Stab met the attack head-on, colliding with the Tri-Autumn Sword in the most direct and violent way.
There was a loud explosion and green robes fluttered as Shi Wuchen flipped and landed lightly on the ground. On the opposite side, Kong Luoyue staggered thirty feet back and staggered, swaying for quite a while.
There was a flash of relief in Shi Wuchen's eyes.
Kong Luoyue managed to steady himself and looked up with a bitter smile. "I've lost."
Shi Wuchen was silent for a moment before he said, "You haven't even used the Hidden Soul Stab. Aren't you upset about admitting defeat?"
Kong Luoyue retorted angrily, "Stop acting like you've won. You're in the game, so you know the outcome. You're just a little stronger than me now, so what? So what if I used the Hidden Soul Stab? You'll be heavily injured and I'll die! "
Shi Wuchen laughed and said, "Brother, I owe you a favor."
Kong Luoyue pursed his lips and said, "Do I care …"
Before his voice trailed off, he had already kept the Hidden Soul Stab in his hand and vanished in a twirl. He turned to walk back and said loudly, "F * ck, I've lost! Yi Tuo is so much stronger than before? There's no justice in this world! "
The rest of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten guffawed. "You can't even beat Yi Tuo, and you still have the cheek to talk!"
The scene immediately burst into an uproar, and everyone laughed and joked for a while.
There was a smile on Yun Yang's face, comforted.
In terms of victory and defeat, Shi Wuchen undoubtedly had the upper hand; everyone could see that. However, if it was a battle of life and death, Kong Luoyue might not necessarily be at a disadvantage. Once the Hidden Soul Stab was used, the worst outcome would still be Shi Wuchen heavily injured and Kong Luoyue defeated.
The other outcome, which was more likely, was to perish together, hand in hand!
