Sword Tomb, Sword Wind Cave.
Outside the cave, Third Elder Han Li stood there for a long while before leaving.
It had already been an hour since Chu Tiankuo had entered the Sword Wind Cave. He knew that the two must've come into contact, but he didn't know that a short but fierce battle had erupted between them.
There was nothing to see. Han Li's heart was as cold as ever. The incapable Xie Tian was no longer important in his eyes.
Chu Tiankuo chased after Xie Tian as usual. However, as he went deeper into the cave, his calm demeanor began to change to one of bewilderment.
"Three hundred and fifty meters. Only fifth layer Xiantian stage cultivators can enter. Could it be that he was previously hiding his strength?"
Even Chu Tiankuo himself didn't notice that his unhurried footsteps had become slightly heavier. However, he shook his head and dispelled this unrealistic thought. He sneered and said to himself, "Shouldn't people who are in desperate straits be fleeing in panic?"
He didn't believe that Xie Tian was hiding his strength. He only believed that Xie Tian's actions were a desperate attempt to enter the Sword Wind Cave. Perhaps there would be a sliver of life, but if he turned around and faced him, he would undoubtedly die.
Xie Tian glanced behind him as he jogged. His body faintly trembled, and a drop of blood fell to the ground. His blood-red eyes faintly glinted, and he increased his speed.
"Three hundred and fifty meters..."
Chu Tiankuo stopped and lowered his head to look at the bloodstains on the ground. Under the strong winds, most of the bloodstains had already disappeared. The smile on his face gradually deepened, and his eyes filled with ridicule.
"Let's see how far you can go!"
Five hundred meters into the Sword Wind Cave, the strong winds had clearly changed. Because of the violent throbbing of the evil killing intent, Xie Tian stopped at five hundred and fifty meters. His blood-red eyes were incomparably solemn.
Even if he didn't use the full strength of the evil killing intent, Xie Tian could faintly see traces of tangible things mixed within the strong winds.
These things were also strong winds, but compared to ordinary strong winds, these tangible strong winds were even more frightening!
Xie Tian did not use his body to test the power of this astral wind, because the beating of the evil killer was enough to prove that the astral wind was deadly. Fortunately, the amount of astral wind was not much. He adjusted his breathing, shook off the beads of blood on his body again, and began to actively operate the Peiyuan Art.
Five hundred and fifty feet. Passively circulating the Peiyuan Art was no longer enough to heal Xie Tian's internal injuries. At this point, Xie Tian finally used one of his trump cards.
"Chu Tiankuo, let's see how far you can follow!"
Looking back, Xie Tian took another step forward and stepped into the deadly astral wind.
An hour later, Chu Tiankuo finally saw Xie Tian, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. There were no traces of blood on the ground, because the moment the blood appeared on Xie Tian's body, it was turned into nothingness by the astral wind.
Chu Tiankuo's expression was unprecedentedly serious. He stood six hundred feet inside the Sword Wind Cave.
Xie Tian was no more than ten zhang away from him.
"Six hundred and ten zhang, the strength of a sixth layer of the Xiantian Realm …"
Chu Tiankuo could not restrain his urge to suck in a breath of cold air. This place was the limit of his body's strength. If he did not have the protection of ninety percent of the Xiantian Inner Qi, his body would begin to break in the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn. Although he would not die, even if he managed to escape, he would certainly be heavily injured.
"So you really were hiding your strength. Unfortunately, you underestimate me too much!"
Chu Tiankuo's heart involuntarily gave birth to dense killing intent. The source of this killing intent was very simple: jealousy.
He was the Sword Tomb's Great Inner Disciple. In terms of status, apart from the three Core Disciples and a few sect Seniors, he was number one. He even dared to question the Third Elder Han Li in public!
In terms of cultivation, he was at the ninth layer of the Xiantian Realm, only a step away from the magic power stage. His body's strength had even reached the sixth layer of the Xiantian Realm. Compared to Li Jian, who had obtained two Dao Fruits, he was not the slightest bit inferior!
But now, in terms of body strength, he had lost to an ant. As proud and arrogant as he was, he could not accept this result!
Chu Tiankuo was worthy of being a disciple of the Sword Tomb. Previously, he was hesitant because of Li Jian, but now his sword heart was clear and his killing intent was firm.
"As long as I exaggerate Xie Tian's ability, even if I am scolded by Li Jian, he will not blame me for killing Xie Tian!"
A trace of a sneer hung on the corner of Chu Tiankuo's mouth. He had lived for fifty years and had seen all kinds of people. He had long seen through Li Jian. Although Li Jian appeared arrogant on the surface, he was actually narrow-minded.
Xie Yun was one thing, but now there was a genius who had obtained a Dao Fruit. Were it not for the fact that his cultivation was too low, Li Jian would have long since killed Xie Tian!
"Ocean and Sky Line!"
Chu Tiankuo did not say a single word and directly attacked!
He attacked with a killing move!
A sword qi that seemed as if it could split the heavens and the earth apart struck straight at Xie Tian's back. The sword light was so swift that it arrived a meter behind Xie Tian in the blink of an eye, and merely the pressure created by the sword qi caused a line of blood to appear on Xie Tian's back!
Xie Tian, who circulated the Origin Fostering Technique with all his strength, seemed to have no remaining strength to dodge. Chu Tiankuo withdrew his sword and stood there, the corners of his mouth twitched before turning around with the intention of leaving.
He didn't have to look to know that under the ocean and sky line, Xie Tian was dead for sure!
But right at this moment, strands of almost material strong winds suddenly passed through Xie Tian's chest before emerging from Xie Tian's back to greet the ocean and sky line.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! A few tens of deafening explosions sounded out, blasting the sword qi into nothingness, blasting the Sword Tempest Tunnel to the point it trembled endlessly, and blasting Chu Tiankuo's right leg to the point it hung in midair.
Pu!
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out from Xie Tian's mouth, and it had only just sprayed into midair when the beads of blood that covered the sky were instantly annihilated by the strong winds.
A total of 17 material strands of strong winds passed through his chest. Although it didn't injure his internal organs, it was still a heavy injury. At this point, Xie Tian had no choice but to start utilizing a large amount of liquid Sea Origin Yang to recover his injuries.
His second trump card, use!
Chu Tiankuo turned around stiffly, his expression was gloomy and indeterminate, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.
What happened earlier?
How did Xie Tian block my full forced strike?
"Ocean and sky line!"
The second sword light struck out swiftly and fiercely. Chu Tiankuo didn't turn around, and his eyes shot out bright lights as he stared fixedly at Xie Tian.
After that, he saw the scene that had occurred earlier, and his pupils constricted!
"He's even so ruthless to himself …"
Chu Tiankuo couldn't help but shiver, and the killing intent in his heart surged even more. Geniuses aren't terrifying, and it isn't terrifying to harbor hatred towards me. What's terrifying is that a genius that harbors hatred towards me actually has such a firm and ruthless disposition!
If Xie Tian were to live, it would definitely be my nightmare!
"As long as Xie Tian isn't dead, I won't be at ease …"
All of a sudden, Chu Tiankuo recalled the words of the man in Li Jian's arms, and he deeply agreed with it.
"If that's the case, killing you is the only way out!"
Chu Tiankuo calmed down the agitation in his heart, and his eyes became indifferent. Mockery, disdain, and even his desire for Xie Tian's secrets disappeared at this moment, leaving only a solemn and murderous intent.
Unknowingly, Chu Tiankuo had elevated Xie Tian from an ant to a mortal enemy.
Tap, tap, tap …
Heavy footsteps sounded behind Xie Tian, getting closer and closer, but Xie Tian still didn't make any move.
Only martial artists whose body strength had reached Level Seven of the Xiantian Realm could set foot within six hundred and ten zhang of the Wind Sword Cave. Even a Level Six of the Xiantian Realm could be turned into ashes.
Currently, Xie Tian's body strength was only at Level Four of the Xiantian Realm. The huge gap of two levels was like a steel knife hanging over his head, and he would be killed if he was even slightly careless.
In just the time it took for half an incense to burn, the liquid Primordial Yang Sea had shrunk by one-tenth, and the injuries in his body were gradually increasing. Apart from circulating the Essence Enhancing Skill with all his might, Xie Tian had no other way to protect himself.
At this moment, Chu Tiankuo arrived behind him, and raised his right palm that was filled with Xiantian Inner Qi.
"Since the Sword Qi can't kill you without leaving your body, this is the only way to kill you!"
Chu Tiankuo's eyes flashed with a hint of a hideous smile, and his right palm struck Xie Tian's back decisively!
Bang!
Xie Tian was sent flying like a tattered gunny sack, and fell on the ground over ten zhang away, motionless.
