Boom! A loud explosion shook the heavens.
Terrifying flames suddenly gushed out from Lie Kong Yang's body and the surrounding temperature instantly rose to a few thousand degrees. Chu Mu could feel the terrifying heat as if he was going to melt.
In the blink of an eye, his body was sweating profusely and it all evaporated under the terrifying heat. The white robe on his body almost caught fire. If he hadn't used his sword aura to block the flames and retreated quickly, he would have been in a sorry state.
His swordsmanship wasn't as good as Chu Mu's, so Lie Kong Yang had no choice but to use this move to force Chu Mu to retreat.
With a whoosh, Chu Mu distanced himself from Lie Kong Yang and appeared a few dozen meters away. He looked at Lie Kong Yang with a solemn expression.
The crimson flames burned fiercely and Lie Kong Yang was enveloped by the flames. He was like a fiery demon that was bathed in flames as he wantonly emitted a terrifying heat that could melt steel instantly.
The surrounding air was distorted and Lie Kong Yang looked unreal.
"Trio of Burning Heavens …" The Palace Master of the Great Qian Sword Residence let out a sigh of relief and had an expression of disbelief on his face. "Chu Mu actually forced Kong Yang to use his trump card …"
The Trio of Burning Heavens was Lie Kong Yang's trump card. It was the most powerful secret technique that he possessed. At the same time, it was also the reason why he was called the Burning Heavens Sword Hero.
As the name suggested, the Trio of Burning Heavens had three levels. It was a fire-type secret technique. The first level could increase the power of the fire-type by 30%, the second level by 60%, and the third level by 100%.
Moreover, this secret technique had a special characteristic. When it was used at the first level, it would cause a huge burden on the body and there would be side effects later on. However, when it was used at the second level, the burden and side effects would be halved. When it was used at the third level, the burden and side effects would be halved again.
In other words, the Trio of Burning Heavens was a secret technique that would increase the power of the technique and reduce the side effects as it was cultivated to a higher level. It was extremely precious.
Now, Lie Kong Yang was using the first level of the Trio of Burning Heavens: Red Flames Burning Heavens.
Lie Kong Yang specialized in the fire element. Although his fire concept hadn't mutated, it had already reached the perfection level. His usage of fire concept was much better than other Sword Heroes. Now, under the amplification of the Burning Heaven Trio, its power had increased by 30%, making it even more terrifying.
Within the red flames, Lie Kong Yang's eyes were also burning fiercely.
He had his own considerations as to why he had chosen the Burning Heaven Trio as his trump card.
Chu Mu was really strong. There was no doubt about that.
Although Chu Mu's sword aura was only at the late stage of the Qi Hai Realm, and the difference between him and the peak of the late stage of the Qi Hai Realm was very obvious, after the exchange, Lie Kong Yang discovered that Chu Mu's sword aura's density and purity was not much inferior to his own.
Lie Kong Yang had cultivated an Earth Level Upper Rank Sword Qi Art, and it had been refined by many people over and over again.
From this point, it meant that Chu Mu's Sword Qi Art was of a higher quality than his. It was very likely to be a Top Rank Earth Level Sword Qi Art. That sword Qi was even weirder. It contained a corrosive power that could corrode his sword Qi to a certain extent and weaken its power.
Because of all these factors, his advantage in terms of sword qi cultivation was reduced to almost nothing.
Sword Qi?
He had ten percent sword Qi, and so did Chu Mu.
Sword Skill?
He had the incomplete Burning Phoenix Break, which was based on sword Qi. Chu Mu also had the incomplete Cutting Moon Sword, which was based on sword Qi.
Sword Skill?
His swordsmanship was indeed profound and powerful. However, Chu Mu's swordsmanship was even more profound and powerful than his.
It was unimaginable. Even Lie Kong Yang himself couldn't imagine how there could be such a person in the world. Such a monstrous genius that made him lose all his advantages.
He was only twenty-three years old.
Lie Kong Yang couldn't help but think back to when he was twenty-three years old, when he had just received the title of Sword Hero. Although he was quite powerful back then, compared to the current Chu Mu, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
He thought back to how he had looked down on Chu Mu and thought that he was just a young man with decent strength. Who would have thought that the current situation would be like this?
It wasn't that Lie Kong Yang wasn't powerful. Just seeing how easily he had defeated Lu Yuan and Ao Xingyun, and how the other Sword Heroes didn't even have the courage to attack, was enough to show how terrifying he was.
Lie Kong Yang was powerful, but so was Chu Mu. In fact, Chu Mu was even more powerful. In the end, Chu Mu had forced Lie Kong Yang to unleash his full strength and use his secret technique.
Lie Kong Yang was a proud person. After being crowned the King of Sword Heroes, he became even more proud. Therefore, he wouldn't allow anyone to defeat him, especially a young swordsman who was younger than him by more than ten years.
This was no longer a fight for the first place in the Battle of Providence. It was a fight for the King of Sword Heroes in the Eastern Sword Region. Lie Kong Yang wouldn't allow this title, which had been on his head for many years, to be taken away by someone else.
He had to win, and he had to win beautifully. Thinking of this, Lie Kong Yang clenched his teeth and the scarlet flames in his eyes started to change. Gradually, a tinge of green started to spread.
When the flames in his eyes turned completely green, the blazing red flames on his body also began to change. Traces of green appeared, and as time passed, more and more of the green color appeared.
It seemed like a long time, but in fact, Lie Kong Yang had already made his decision in just a few breaths' time. Moreover, most of the flames on his body had turned green.
The Sword Mansion Master of the Great Qian Sword Mansion was stunned. Then, his face turned solemn. He didn't expect Lie Kong Yang to not only perform the Burning Heavens Trio, but also perform the second stage. It seemed like Chu Mu was giving him a lot of pressure.
The second stage of the Burning Heavens Trio was naturally much more powerful than the first stage. At the same time, the burden and side effects on the body were also smaller. However, it had a disadvantage, which was that it consumed a lot of energy.
In other words, Lie Kong Yang couldn't sustain the consumption of the second stage of the Burning Heavens Trio for a long time. He didn't have much time left.
After three breaths' time, the flames on Lie Kong Yang's body turned completely green.
The second stage of the Burning Heavens Trio: Green Flames Burning Heavens.
Instantly, Chu Mu felt that the terrifying heat, which made it difficult for him to get close to Lie Kong Yang, had disappeared.
However, Chu Mu's expression became even more solemn. The heat didn't disappear. Instead, it was being absorbed into the green flames. This meant that the temperature of the green flames on Lie Kong Yang's body was even higher than before. It was even more terrifying.
The current Lie Kong Yang was even more powerful. The 60% increase in the power of the Fire Element was almost terrifying.
Chu Mu let out a heavy sigh.
The current Lie Kong Yang was indeed very terrifying. His strength was much stronger than before. However, Ye Xiwen still had the opportunity to get close to him.
Just now, the flames on Lie Kong Yang's body were too hot. If Chu Mu had gotten close, he would have had to divert part of his strength to resist the terrifying heat. This would have caused his strength to decrease imperceptibly, and he would be at a disadvantage in the battle against Lie Kong Yang.
Of course, Chu Mu was also confident that he wouldn't be defeated by Lie Kong Yang's sword. It was just that he would be in a more difficult situation.
Lie Kong Yang obviously understood this point as well. However, he still chose to use the second stage of the Burning Heavens Trio. He wanted to defeat Chu Mu with absolute strength. He didn't want both of them to suffer.
If it wasn't for the fact that he hadn't mastered the third stage of the Burning Heavens Trio and couldn't complete it, he would have directly used the third stage to increase his strength.
As he swung his sword, Lie Kong Yang once again used the incomplete sword skill: Burning Phoenix Break!
A sharp and clear cry resounded through the heavens and earth. The illusion of a phoenix appeared once again. It seemed to be clearer than before. Moreover, this phoenix was completely green.
The green flames burned fiercely, but the surroundings couldn't feel any heat. Everyone knew that this was because the high temperature was all concentrated in the green flames.
Once one was hit by the green phoenix, the outcome would be absolutely terrifying. They would instantly turn into ashes.
The green phoenix illusion rushed towards Chu Mu with a boom. It shook the void and burned the heavens and earth. Chu Mu slashed out a crescent moon.
As expected, the collision between the Crescent Moon and the Burning Phoenix Break ended with the Crescent Moon shattering. The green phoenix illusion, which had shrunk by thirty percent, still rushed towards Chu Mu at an even faster speed.
The green phoenix illusion quickly enlarged in front of Chu Mu. Chu Mu once again swung his sword and attacked with the Crescent Moon.
After a short pause, he once again slashed out with the Crescent Moon.
After two consecutive Crescent Moon attacks, the green phoenix illusion was finally destroyed. It turned into green flames that filled the sky. Chu Mu hurriedly used the Flying Swan Illusory Steps to dodge.
The green flames landed on the ground. Instantly, the seal was burned through. The hard floor was burned through like bubbles. Countless ripples appeared on the seal in the surroundings. It was so dense that it was like a rainstorm falling into a calm lake. It made people worry if the seal would be broken.
The Burning Phoenix Break, the second movement of the Burning Heaven Trio, was so powerful that it made countless people gasp. They were worried for Chu Mu.
Lie Kong Yang in this state was too terrifying.
Lie Kong Yang knew that he didn't have much time left. He had to make good use of it. Once again, he attacked with the Burning Phoenix Break.
[Burning Phoenix Break] was his most powerful sword skill. As for [Flame Cut] and [Cyan Flame Cut], they were just sword skills created based on the sword momentum. Although they were more powerful with ten percent of sword intent, they were still incomparable to [Burning Phoenix Break].
The green phoenix illusion appeared again. Countless people's hearts almost stopped beating. They all looked at Chu Mu nervously.
Chu Mu hastily used Feihong Illusory Space Steps to quickly move. The second level of Feihong Illusory Space Steps seemed to be advancing and retreating. However, he discovered that the cyan phoenix seemed to be able to determine whether it was real or fake. It wasn't confused at all as it charged towards Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's speed was extremely fast. The green phoenix illusion was also very fast. It locked onto Chu Mu from afar. No matter how Chu Mu dodged, it didn't show any signs of missing. It was as if it was a real phoenix.
Lie Kong Yang stared at Chu Mu. The green flames in his eyes burned fiercely. Immediately after, he waved his sword again. Another green phoenix illusion condensed under the sword. It spread its wings and soared into the sky. After a turn, it locked onto Chu Mu and swooped down … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
