Seeing that Li Sheng had successfully mastered the sixth sabre of the Seven Seas Dragon Slaying Sabre, the Shattering Annihilation Sabre, even the expression of Water Crystal Palace's Elder Dong turned solemn and serious.
Both sides could be considered to have come to know each other's strength. The people of Water Crystal Palace were well aware of what this sabre entailed.
The Water Crystal Palace martial practitioners who had followed Zhang Haocheng here, Elder Dong included, when they were at the late Essence Spirit stage, felt that they would be doomed if they were to face the current Li Sheng.
While he was still at the late Essence Spirit stage, he was a truly powerful opponent.
Let alone the current top ten Essence Spirit experts, even if it had been the top ten Essence Spirit experts of any era of the Vast Ocean World, the current Li Sheng would be a strong contender for first place.
Still, while the people of Water Crystal Palace were shocked, they were not worried.
Facing Li Sheng, Zhang Haocheng slowly took out an item.
Everyone present who knew the origin of the item immediately paled.
It was not forbidden for weapons and treasures to be used in battle. Therefore, if Zhang Haocheng were to take out a powerful treasure now, no one would actually be too surprised. At most, they would say that he was lacking in confidence when facing Li Sheng.
However, what Zhang Haocheng had taken out now was a sword.
Everyone knew that Water Crystal Palace did not cultivate in the dao of the sword.
It was not that Zhang Haocheng had secretly learnt some supreme sword art through a fortuitous encounter. He indeed did not use the sword.
This sword was his spoil of battle.
A mid-grade spirit artifact was not especially precious to major sects like the Seven Pillars of Good and the Six Evil Sects.
However, those who recognised this spirit artifact all knew that the original owner of the sword, the 'Sea Flipping Owl' Leng Kun, was a rather famous expert amongst solitary practitioners, an early Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster.
There were lawless fugitives everywhere who did not care about their opponent's background, only seeking to enjoy themselves before them. Leng Kun was one of the best amongst them.
To a martial practitioner like Leng Kun, as long as the sword was, so was the person.
And now that his accompanying weapon had fallen into Zhang Haocheng's hands, the result was obvious.
It was said that the higher one's cultivation base, the smaller the gap between martial practitioners of the same cultivation level, the greater the gap between martial practitioners of different cultivation levels.
However, there would always be a few amongst the few, geniuses amongst geniuses, experts amongst experts, who had the ability to surpass the norm.
Whether it was Zhang Haocheng or Li Sheng, they were both such figures.
Of the current top ten strongest Essence Spirit martial artists, there had always been a clear gap between the two of them and the others from the third place onwards.
But even so, the fact that Zhang Haocheng was able to kill the early Essence Talisman stage Leng Kun with his late Essence Spirit cultivation still left everyone shocked.
After all, the difficulty of killing an opponent and seizing their weapon was different from simply defeating them.
Even though Leng Kun was a solitary practitioner, and his foundation was not as solid as that of martial arts Sacred Grounds like Water Crystal Palace and the Dragon Slayer Sect, he was still an Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster through and through.
"Li" While to Leng Li, "Li Cloud Li, Li", Long Chen That Leng ", Chen, Sheng", Li, Li, Zhang, Li, Chen, "Feng,", Li, Zhang ",", Chen,
While it was indeed shocking for him to be able to cultivate a supreme martial art that others could not, in terms of actual combat, solid battle results were still the most convincing.
Even the Dragon Slayer Sect martial practitioners had solemn expressions on their faces as they sighed unwillingly, "As expected of the number one of the ten strongest Essence Spirit martial practitioners."
As soon as the two sides had appeared, the atmosphere had already reached a fever pitch.
The spirits of the other martial practitioners present were greatly boosted as well.
It was not that there were no battles between martial practitioners who were stronger than Zhang Haocheng and Li Sheng.
However, it was rather rare for the first and second ranked of the ten strongest Essence Spirit martial practitioners to have a direct battle, perhaps even a battle to the death.
It would not be difficult for those with higher cultivation bases to defeat Zhang Haocheng and Li Sheng. However, at the level of Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters, the battle before them virtually signified the pinnacle of competition.
Especially when the two were both Nine Leaves blossoming nine flowers, and were respectively from the two great martial arts Sacred Grounds of Water Crystal Palace and the Dragon Slayer Sect, it made this battle even more so.
Even Fu Enshu was extremely interested.
However, as she stood there, the experts of Water Crystal Palace and the Dragon Slayer Sect all turned to look at her.
The polluted undercurrents of the Deep Sea Corridor where the three seas intersected in the past had disappeared, and the Sweet Pouring Raindrops that they had never seen before had actually appeared instead caused their hearts to pound.
Within the water vein formed of the Sweet Pouring Raindrops, those two indistinct figures also attracted their attention.
While the attention of Zhang Haocheng and Li Sheng was primarily focused on their opponents, they could not help but pay attention to the unexpected situation before them.
Some martial practitioners who were familiar with them hurriedly came forward to explain the situation. Hearing their words, the martial practitioners of Water Crystal Palace and the Dragon Slayer Sect all frowned.
The leader of Water Crystal Palace, Elder Dong, looked at Fu Enshu, asking in a heavy tone, "Are you of the Sacred Evil Sect?"
Fu Enshu's expression was indifferent, "I just heard of this sect from the mouths of others a few days ago."
Elder Dong and the others all frowned as they pondered, the Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioner hurriedly saying, "That youth who was together with her broke through the powerful barrier of the Bewildering Maze Sea with the Blood Ghost Heavenly Talisman of the Sacred Evil Sect. Our clan's senior apprentice-uncle Fang personally confirmed it. It cannot be wrong!"
Hearing their words, Fu Enshu was not angered as she just smiled.
Elder Dong asked, "Are you talking about Fang Zhaohong? Where is he? "
That Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioner pursed his lips, "It was precisely because senior apprentice-uncle Fang discovered that the youth had given himself away that he was silenced by these demons of the Sacred Evil Sect."
"Senior apprentice-uncle Yue, what should we do?" A Dragon Slayer Sect martial practitioner approached the leading Elder, asking him quietly.
The leading Elder of the Dragon Slayer Sect shook his head, "Wait and see."
The Sacred Evil Sect was mysterious and strange. While it was one of the Six Evil Sects, the other Evil Sects were extremely wary of it as well.
Li Sheng spoke for the first time since having appeared, his voice cold as a sabre, "Killing a Jiang Xiong does not count for much."
Zhang Haocheng gazed at the figure within the water vein formed of the Sweet Pouring Raindrops as he said, "But it is said that he is only in his twenties."
Li Sheng said coldly, "I do not care whether he is of the Sacred Evil Sect or not. I have come here to battle with you, to see who is the true number one expert of the Vast Ocean World of the Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster realm."
"After battling with you, if I do not die, I will naturally have to meet him."
Zhang Haocheng said, "Being able to kill Jiang Xiong already proves that he has the qualifications to battle with you and me. I have actually never heard of such a person before. I would like to exchange blows with him first."
Li Sheng's expression turned cold.
Zhang Haocheng continued, "His presence here will also affect our battle. The three of us should be the strongest of the Vast Ocean World's Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters, right? There is no need to trouble the longtime Elders of the Essence Talisman stage, just exchanging pointers with each other. "
His voice was condensed with his true essence as he sent it towards the water vein formed of the Sweet Pouring Raindrops, "What do you say?"
Before his words had landed, a light laugh suddenly resounded from within the water vein, "Are you sure that you have come here to seek abuse? Why bother? "
The next moment, light surged from within the water vein, flickering unceasingly as Yan Zhaoge's figure slowly rose up amidst the radiance.
Li Sheng was greatly enraged upon hearing his words. Zhang Haocheng knit his brows as well, gazing over, yet both of them were rendered dazed on the spot.
Everyone present was rendered wide-eyed and tongue-tied.
A silhouette surfaced above Yan Zhaoge's head, ten spirit leaves appearing, a spirit flower swaying above each of them. (To be continued.)
