"No wonder he could keep up with Ye Chen. He is simply too powerful. If Ye Chen's improvement speed drops even a little bit, he would be in danger of being surpassed."
Li Xiaoyun sucked in a deep breath and mumbled to himself.
Ye Chen's unbelievable rise made Li Xiaoyun cautious. Although Dugu Jue was powerful, he could not say that Dugu Jue had surpassed Ye Chen. Regardless, Ye Chen was from the southern regions. Emotionally, he was more biased towards Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen's expression is very calm."
Jing Aoxuan wanted to say something, but after seeing Ye Chen's calm expression, she became pensive.
"Fortunately, I did not attack."
Situ Hao frowned deeply. He had discovered that the geniuses of the Sky Martial Region had started to split into two groups. The strong ones were getting stronger, and the weak ones were also getting stronger. However, the gap between their strengths was getting bigger and bigger. He was already showing signs of being left behind, which was not a good sign.
"Alright, I will not fight for one day, but for eternity."
A strong sense of danger made Situ Hao put away his arrogance. The great era was coming, and the levels of geniuses were becoming clearer. Among the former top five young warriors, only Bai Wuxue was still standing, standing on the frontlines with Ye Chen and Dugu Jue. The others were starting to fall. From this moment on, it would be clear who had the potential to reach the Life and Death Realm. It was like a huge wave washing away the sand. Only those who could endure the test would have the possibility of not being eliminated.
If he did not work hard, even the second line would be in danger.
"You are qualified to be my opponent now."
Liu Wujian looked at Dugu Jue, his battle intent rising.
Chin!
Putting his blade back into its scabbard, Dugu Jue flashed onto a mountain peak and said, "My only opponent is Ye Chen. Let's talk after you defeat him."
Liu Wujian and Ye Chen both used swords. Before Ye Chen revealed his strength, Dugu Jue would not turn his opponent into Liu Wujian.
"Alright, defeating him is not hard."
Liu Wujian's expression froze slightly. Dugu Jue's rejection made him a bit unhappy. As far as he was concerned, being acknowledged by Dugu Jue was already something to be proud of.
"Liu Wujian!"
Just when Liu Wujian was about to look at Ye Chen, Lu Shaoyou walked out in front of everyone's shocked gazes.
Frowning, Liu Wujian said, "Half a year ago, you were not my opponent. It is still the same now. You should step down!"
"Indeed, I am not confident of defeating you. However, you might not be able to defeat me as easily as you did half a year ago," Lu Shaoyou said as he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Oh, it looks like you have made great progress in the past half a year."
"You will know whether I have made any progress or not when you try."
"There is no need for Brother Liu to make a move. I will try you."
The colorful-clothed lady was a spectator of the fight between Lu Shaoyou and Liu Wujian half a year ago. She knew Lu Shaoyou's strength very well. She did not believe that Lu Shaoyou could have made great progress in the past half a year. After all, half a year ago, Lu Shaoyou could not even withstand ten sword strikes from Liu Wujian. Hence, Lu Shaoyou was not worthy of Liu Wujian making a move.
"Take this!"
With the long whip in her hand, the colorful-clothed lady attacked Lu Shaoyou with the Wind Flame Whip.
Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Lu Shaoyou's eyes. He instantly unsheathed his sword and swung it. Dozens of arc-shaped sword qi shot out and approached the colorful-clothed lady. Puff!
Puff! Puff!
Puff! Puff! Puff! The whip and the sword qi collided and produced a series of explosions. However, Lu Shaoyou's sword wasn't that simple. The dozens of sword qi had different trajectories. Some flew in the air, some slashed straight, some arced, and some were full of power. After the colorful-clothed lady's whip was canceled out, there were still several sword qi that attacked her at lightning speed.
"Fire Crystal Shield!"
The colorful-clothed lady quickly used a defensive profound martial skill.
There was a loud bang!
In the next moment, the colorful-clothed lady retreated ten steps. Her face was filled with shock.
"How is this possible? His strength has increased by more than 50% in the past half a year."
She couldn't help but be shocked.
Bai Wuxue nodded slightly. Lu Shaoyou wasn't someone who would get depressed so easily. Failure would only make him improve faster. This had been proven in the past. Clearly, losing to Liu Wujian in ten moves half a year ago didn't make Lu Shaoyou quiet. Instead, it made him cultivate even more crazily, bursting out his unprecedented potential. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come out to challenge Liu Wujian.
"So that's how it is. Good. Let's warm up before the big battle! I hope you won't disappoint me. "
Liu Wujian's clothes were very long, just like his long hair. They fluttered in the wind. He stood in the air and walked toward Lu Shaoyou step by step. Finally, he stopped a hundred steps away.
"Make your move!"
Liu Wujian placed his left hand behind his back.
"Void Kill Sword Art!"
When Liu Wujian walked over, Lu Shaoyou had been accumulating his strength and sword aura. When Liu Wujian stopped, he made his move. The distance between them seemed to be ignored. Lu Shaoyou waved his sword. A strong wind rose, and the sword Qi filled the sky.
"Break!"
Liu Wujian's left hand was still behind his back. He held the sword hilt with his right hand and pulled it out. Then, he clashed a few times in the air, breaking all the sword Qi.
Fast!
Extremely fast!
Liu Wujian's sword art was even faster than Lu Shaoyou's Void Kill Sword Art. The sword Qi that filled the sky couldn't even get close to him.
"Void Kill Sword!"
Lu Shaoyou naturally knew that Liu Wujian's sword speed was out of this world. Almost no one in the world could compete with it. But, he was already prepared for it, so he wasn't surprised. Letting out a breath, Lu Shaoyou's Zhen yuan burst out, pouring into the longsword in his hand. The longsword twisted a bit, bringing up an invisible wind as it stabbed toward Liu Wujian, who was not far away.
Pop!
Liu Wujian's position was refracted, as if he was in a mirror, and this mirror could shatter at any moment.
"Your attack power is enough, but it still can't do anything to me."
Liu Wujian held his sword with one hand and swept it upward, using the most vigorous and boundless Shifting Ocean Sword Qi. Immediately, a deep white sword Qi engulfed the heaven and earth, cleanly breaking Lu Shaoyou's sword aura. The spatial refraction effect also vanished like smoke in thin air.
Whoosh!
The remaining Moving Ocean Sword Qi didn't stop, attacking toward Lu Shaoyou.
"Hm? He saw the weakness of Lu Shaoyou's sword attack! "
Bai Wuxue knew Lu Shaoyou's ace attack very well. That Void Kill Sword seemed to be close to shattering the space, but it was actually a trick. Wind was everywhere, and the flow of air was wind. This Void Kill Sword contained the profound of wind, which could cause the wind to go berserk and destabilize the space. However, it was still a long way from truly shattering the space.
Of course, even though it was a trick, the power of this Void Kill Sword was not to be underestimated. The only weakness was that the attack range was too big, and the power was not concentrated. Otherwise, this sword attack would definitely be the most powerful one.
"Chaotic Wind Chop!"
Facing the incoming deep white sword Qi, Lu Shaoyou didn't panic at all. The longsword in his hand drew a circle in the air, creating a storm of sword Qi.
Bang! Bang! Bang …
The deep white sword Qi was shattered, turning into thousands of sword threads. Lu Shaoyou was careless and was hit by a few of the sword threads. His sleeves and shoulder clothes were torn, and he got hit in the chest as well. Blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth.
"This doesn't look good. Lu Shaoyou's power has improved very quickly, and he might be able to return to the top five young giants, but Liu Wujian is too strong. Holding his sword with one hand, he can suppress Lu Shaoyou. It doesn't seem like he is getting serious."
"It's my turn."
Liu Wujian took a step forward and instantly appeared before Lu Shaoyou. The longsword in his hand disappeared, and a white sword screen covered the latter. Ding!
Ding! Ding!
Sparks flew everywhere as Lu Shaoyou did his best to block Liu Wujian's attacks. The speed of his attacks became faster and faster, and without him realizing it, he had already surpassed his limits.
"There is indeed improvement!"
Liu Wujian put down his left hand, which was behind his back. His body became more agile, and his sword Qi was sometimes as violent as thunder, sometimes as swift as the wind, and sometimes as ferocious as the waves.
Peng!
Unable to dodge, Lu Shaoyou was sent flying hundreds of meters away by a sword Qi. More and more blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still bright.
"Metal Wind!"
Holding his sword with both hands, Lu Shaoyou used the result of the past half a year. It was his strongest killing move, a mid-tier Metal Wind Fusion profound sword move.
The golden sword wind was very tangible, and it swept toward Liu Wujian.
Liu Wujian's brows twitched. This Lu Shaoyou wasn't that strong half a year ago, but now, his power was almost at Master Sky Sword's level. Not only did he receive nearly a hundred moves from him, he had also developed an even stronger killing move. Without any hesitation, Liu Wujian also used his killing move — Thousand Mile Thread.
Puchi!
The golden sword winds collided against the line of sword energy. The golden sword winds were instantly sliced apart. However, the golden sword winds were seemingly endless and a significant amount of the line of sword energy's power was whittled away. Shockwaves of gold and white intersected as a result, which assailed the two cultivators.
Spurting out a large mouthful of blood, Lu Shaoyou finally couldn't hold on any longer, and his body was sent flying. As for Liu Wujian, he also retreated dozens of steps. This was the first time he had been forced back.
"Sigh, Lu Shaoyou lost as well!"
"Even though he lost, it's still a glorious defeat. Half a year ago, Lu Shaoyou couldn't even receive ten sword strikes from Liu Wujian. But now, he has received a hundred, and his power has increased by nearly half."
"Mhm, Lu Shaoyou must know that he can't win, and he just wants to test his strength."
Not being able to receive ten sword strikes was very humiliating, but receiving a hundred sword strikes was completely different. Although Liu Wujian didn't seem to be going all out,
Hu!
Letting out a breath, Ye Chen said, "It's my turn."
"Don't be careless."
Murong Qingcheng reminded Ye Chen.
"I know. With his strength, I can't afford to be careless."
Facing the wind, Ye Chen's sword aura burst out, spreading out like the night, covering the entire Nine Dragon Mountain and Nine Dragon Lake.
Without needing any reminder, everyone's attention was drawn over. In everyone's eyes, the world seemed to have disappeared, and only Ye Chen remained. The world they felt was deathly silent. Those who were closer to Ye Chen discovered that they couldn't even speak. It was like they had fallen into a nightmare. They could think, but they couldn't move their bodies.
"What a terrifying sword intent."
Bai Wuxue took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock.
Dugu Jue was also somewhat shocked. His hands and feet trembled in excitement. This was a feeling that no one else could give him. Such nervousness, such anticipation.
