Under Xiao Shen's control, the Sacred Sun Saint puppet's palms flew about, as though it was a phantom.
It was as if the sun was setting in the west, and its last remaining light transformed into a myriad of scenes that were poignant, beautiful, and unfathomable.
Thousand Illusionary Sunset Palm.
The Sacred Sun Clan's direct lineage martial arts, ranked alongside the Heaven Striking Palm as one of the Seven Great Sun Arts.
It was one of the few martial arts of the Sacred Sun Clan that was famed for its variations in techniques.
Xiao Shen had immersed himself in this martial art for many years, and had already gained a deep understanding of its essence and true meaning.
Even many seniors in the same sect who were stronger than him in terms of cultivation and understanding of martial arts were not as good as him.
Under the stimulation of Xiao Sheng's Stellar Qi, the wooden puppet was like a living martial artist. It was actually able to display this ever-changing technique to the fullest.
"Controlling a wooden puppet is already like this. If Xiao Shen himself were to use it, what kind of scene would it be?"
The spectating Broad Creed Mountain disciples all felt a bitter taste in their mouths, their palms gradually beginning to sweat.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze was not on the wooden puppet of the Sacred Sun Saint, but rather on the palm with which Xiao Shen was controlling the wooden puppet.
Facing the menacing enemy, Mr Dong's puppet did not hesitate and struck out with its blade!
In everyone's eyes, the wooden puppet that was originally stiff seemed to have transformed into a vigorous divine dragon that soared into the sky, breaking through the layers of illusions created by the sunset.
The green light was activated, like a true dragon shaking its armor, it moved unhindered between heaven and earth.
Layer after layer of illusions were broken apart like a dream.
Although the wooden weapon in Mr Dong's hands was a sabre, Yan Zhaoge substituted a sabre for a sword, not being restricted by its form. His Coiling Dragon Sleeve sword technique was still wondrous to the extreme, dispersing Xiao Shen's Sunset Thousand Illusionary Palms.
The Broad Creed Mountain disciples immediately cheered in unison.
A cruel smile appeared at the corners of Xiao Shen's mouth.
"Do you think I'm like Chao Yuanlong, that stupid bull who only knows how to use brute force?"
As he spoke, Xiao Shen's manipulation of the wooden puppet became even more intricate, as the various exquisite transformations of the Sunset Thousand Illusory Palms were all displayed.
Under the stimulation of his Gang Qi, the Sacred Sun Saint puppet glowed with a faint light, as though it was the afterglow of the setting sun, enveloping Mr Dong once again.
This time, besides being poignant, beautiful, and ever-changing, the illusions carried a sense of despair.
The sun had set, and the earth was about to enter the darkness of the night. Only the last wisp of sunset was left in the sky.
No matter how the world tried to persuade him to stay or how reluctant he was, it was all in vain.
What would come would eventually come!
At this moment, the deep level of the Sunset Thousand Illusionary Palms' true martial intent was displayed to the fullest by Xiao Shen.
The afterglow of the setting sun was like a cage of despair, covering Mister Dong's puppet.
The momentum of Yan Zhaoge's Coiling Dragon Sleeve resembled a heavenly dragon soaring into the sky, domineering and extraordinary.
But at this time, he could only stare with wide eyes and watch the sun set. He was unable to reverse the changes in the natural weather.
The green sword light instantly dimmed, and the sunlight became hazy. In front of the spectators, all they saw was a sudden darkness that swallowed the two puppets.
Xiao Shen smiled and said, "Those who should fall will eventually fall."
"Reminiscing about the past is futile!"
With a jolt of his aura-qi, the two palms of the Sacred Sun Saint puppet had already struck towards the vital points of the Mr Dong puppet's chest!
"Haha …" Seeing this scene, a cold light suddenly shot out of Yan Zhaoge's eyes.
At the same time, Mr Dong's puppet body suddenly twisted and its wrist shook!
The wooden blade shrank, and the puppet's body curled into a ball.
Originally showing off its abilities, it suddenly returned to being ordinary and ordinary.
Like a sword being sheathed, or like a true dragon soaring above the nine heavens, tunnelling into the clouds.
Coiling Dragon Sleeve, Cloud Dragon Concealed Sword!
Xiao Shen retracted the smile on his face, as a bad feeling arose within his heart.
Uncomfortable, unhappy, as if there was a dagger at his back!
Yan Zhaoge controlled Mr Dong to execute a Sword Concealed Stance, and in that instant, Xiao Shen only felt as if his opponent had disappeared without a trace in front of him.
He was obviously still there, but his sure-win palm strike had actually missed!
"Insignificant tricks, clown tricks!" Xiao Shen roared angrily, his rough voice even seeming a little sharp.
Controlling the Sacred Sun Saint puppet, he also forcibly retracted his own palm strike, condensing it and not releasing it, as he carefully sensed his opponent's presence.
Just having caught a faint trace, Mr Dong's body had already abruptly extended!
Like a clump of clouds that had been pierced apart by a bolt of lightning, a piercingly cold sword edge erupted, its target being the Sacred Sun Saint.
Like a dragon tunnelling into the clouds, and then suddenly popping its head out!
Like the back thrust of the secular world's martial arts, dragging the sword behind, catching the enemy unawares.
Xiao Shen laughed savagely, the palm strike that had been condensed and not released also similarly erupted, just in time to meet Yan Zhaoge's attack.
"I've caught you this time!"
Still thinking this, he was stunned to see Yan Zhaoge's sword strike, which had originally been surging towards the clouds, suddenly retracted once more, disappearing without a trace!
Yet another Sword Concealed Stance!
Cloud Dragon Concealed Sword, the real and the illusory coexisting, movement and stillness in harmony, resembling a divine dragon hiding its head, concealed within the clouds, without a trace, without any warning whatsoever!
Xiao Shen's Sunset Thousand Illusory Palms completely missed!
The next moment, a blazing green sword light lit up, sweeping through the heavens, ripping apart the night sky, allowing light to return to the earth!
"After the sun has set, it will still rise as usual. Floating clouds momentarily obscure the eyes, but will eventually dissipate, and the day will come when the light of day can once again be seen."
Yan Zhaoge laughed leisurely, substituting a sword with a sabre, Mr Dong's sabre pointed directly at the Sacred Sun Saint's chest!
Xiao Shen's pupils dilated, but it was already too late to control the Sacred Sun Saint puppet to evade.
Numerous invisible streams of qi that flickered with a metallic lustre circulated around the Sacred Sun Saint puppet's body.
His aura-qi defence was raised to the maximum, as he braced himself to block this blow of Mr Dong's.
But on the edge of Mr Dong's sabre, a sharp green glow flickered, as well as a metallic lustre.
At this moment, the wooden sabre seemed to have transformed into a real, fine steel sword, forcibly breaking through the opponent's aura-qi defence, piercing straight into the Sacred Sun Saint puppet's chest!
"Hmph!"
Xiao Shen snorted coldly, as he clapped out with his palm. The aura-qi on the Sacred Sun Saint puppet's body abruptly exploded!
The Sacred Sun Saint puppet's body was the first to shatter, and the wooden sabre that had pierced into its body also shattered at the same time.
This force travelled along the wooden sabre to the Mr Dong puppet's body, and the Mr Dong puppet's body instantly shattered as well!
Yan Zhaoge was not angered by this. Retracting his palm, he placed his hands behind his back, leisurely looking at Xiao Shen.
Xiao Shen stared fixedly at Yan Zhaoge, his eyes already narrowed into slits, as a sinister light flickered within.
The large beard on his face trembled unceasingly as he panted heavily.
Although he wasn't like Chao Yuanlong, who had lost all face and even lost his underwear, at this moment, Xiao Shen was also feeling humiliated into anger, his face burning up.
He was the one who chose the method of the competition, but in the end, he was the one who broke the rules first, which was equivalent to slapping himself in the face.
It looked like a draw where both sides perished, but he had already lost before that happened.
Yan Zhaoge glanced at Xiao Sheng, shrugging his shoulders, "Actually, I agree with your words; people should indeed not live in the past."
"Establishing a foothold in the present and looking to the future is the right thing to do."
How could Xiao Shen not understand the meaning behind his words?
Staring at Yan Zhaoge, Xiao Shen slowly nodded, "Yan Zhaoge, you are very good."
"I admit that I have underestimated you in the past, but it doesn't matter. We have a long way to go!"
With that, Xiao Shen turned around and left without another word.
