When the Beichen Peak's Peak Master, Mu Feng, saw Xiao Chen, he was astonished as well. He originally thought that Mu Heng would be able to obtain the first rank easily. Now, it looked like it would be difficult.
However, this was good as well. If he could poke Mu Heng's spirit and make him restrain himself, it would only be beneficial for him in the future.
Leng Tianzheng saw all this. After a while, he sighed and said, "Ruyue, you really accepted a good disciple this time. Tianyue Peak has dominated the first rank of the core disciples for ten years. Now, it is time to hand it over."
Liu Ruyue revealed a cheerful smile on her flirtatious face. Seeing Xiao Chen's growth, she was probably the happiest person. "Martial Uncle Leng, you are too polite. Tianyue Peak is filled with talents. This time, we still have the most number of people who passed."
"Ha ha, let's see. Zhang Lie has not used his saber intent on a large scale. Junior Brother Mu's son should still have some trump cards that he has not used yet. The result of this battle has not been determined yet," Leng Tianzheng smiled gently and changed the topic.
Even if they lost the first rank in this exam, Leng Tianzheng would not care too much about it. After all, the overall strength of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion was still there. There was an endless supply of new disciples. They would still be able to suppress the other peaks.
"Bang!
Bang! "As the crowd discussed, there were two more loud sounds coming from the drill grounds. Countless spear blades shook a few times and were pulled into the air. After that, they were burned into powder by the shockwave.
The strong wind died down and the yellow sand scattered. The three of them moved back and their figures slowly appeared before the crowd.
Mu Heng's complexion was pale and blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth. The blazing purple light on his body also slowly dimmed.
Zhang Lie's clothes were tattered and there were many saber wounds all over his body. Some of the wounds were very deep and blood flowed out continuously. He was in a sorry state.
Xiao Chen held his saber in one hand and the banner in the other. Sweat flowed down his face continuously. There were also some saber wounds on his body. However, they were not fatal. With his strong physical body, he had mostly recovered.
Xiao Chen's long robes fluttered in the wind. His long, black hair fluttered in the wind. The snow-white saber gave off a cold light and the banner in his hand fluttered.
Xiao Chen's aura flourished as his Qi and blood surged into the sky. He felt incredibly delighted and wanted to fight another eight hundred rounds.
"You are very strong. If you can withstand this move of mine, I will take the initiative to withdraw from this competition," Mu Heng said indifferently as he gently wiped off the blood at the corner of his lips.
Zhang Lie remained silent for a while. He took out some medicine from his Space Ring and slowly applied it to his wounds. He said indifferently, "Me too. If you can receive my final move, I will forfeit this core disciple exam."
Xiu!
Xiao Chen waved the banner in his hand and stabbed it into the ground. He said, "It doesn't matter. Whoever comes first wins. The banner in my hand belongs to him."
"Me first!"
Zhang Lie said softly. His aura started to slowly gather. He grasped the saber in his right hand tightly and infused the saber intent he comprehended into his aura.
Suddenly, a boundless strong wind blew behind Zhang Lie. Everywhere the strong wind passed, some of the air currents were sliced apart, giving off a 'zi zi' sound. Zhang Lie's saber intent actually merged with the strong wind.
"With your talent, you should have already comprehended the sixteenth move of the Lingyun Saber Technique. However, my Everlasting Startling Cloud is infused with my Small Perfection saber intent. Its might is incomparable. I hope you can block it."
Just as Zhang Lie finished speaking, wisps of mist appeared above the formation out of nowhere, blocking everyone's line of sight, preventing them from seeing what was happening inside.
Not only that, this fog could even obscure one's five senses and Spiritual Sense. Xiao Chen thought to himself in shock. Zhang Lie's saber intent must be in the fog as well.
Indeed, in the next moment, Xiao Chen felt a killing intent coming from all directions within the clouds. When the clouds touched his skin, they immediately started to attack his protective Essence, giving off a 'zi zi' sound.
Xiao Chen placed his right hand on the hilt of the Lunar Shadow Saber. The Qi whirlpool in his Dantian spun rapidly, continuously increasing the strength of his Essence.
Within the clouds, the five senses were blocked. When he extended out his Spiritual Sense, all he felt was the boundless clouds. Xiao Chen was like a blind man within the clouds; he could not see anything.
This move put Xiao Chen in a disadvantageous position. Xiao Chen simply closed his eyes and stopped using his eyes to observe his surroundings. He was going to deal with the changes by remaining unchanged.
Zhang Lie, who was hidden in the clouds, locked his aura on Xiao Chen. When he felt Xiao Chen's movements, he revealed a faint smile. No matter who it is, after their senses are blocked, they will not be able to receive this attack of mine.
"Everlasting Startling Cloud!"
The surrounding clouds slowly scattered and gathered towards the saber in Zhang Lie's hand. White spots of light leaped about on the black saber blade.
"Boom!"
When all the clouds disappeared, the saber in Zhang Lie's hand had already absorbed all the saber intent in the clouds. The light of the entire saber had reached an incredible level.
The most important thing was that this saber had already appeared less than a meter in front of Xiao Chen. The tip of the saber was pointed at Xiao Chen. The saber gave off a strong wind, blowing Xiao Chen's hair back violently.
Everything happened in the time it took for a spark to fly. In the eyes of the onlookers, it was only a few breaths of time.
Zhang Lie swung his saber and the clouds surrounded the formation. In the next moment, the clouds disappeared. Zhang Lie had already arrived before Xiao Chen with a stunning saber strike; it was very strange.
Among the people present, only a few discovered the secret. The instant the clouds appeared, Zhang Lie used the time when Xiao Chen's senses were blocked to silently fly to a spot ten meters in front of him.
Before the saber blade touched Xiao Chen, that resplendent saber light turned into a tiny saber Qi and shot towards Xiao Chen's forehead.
"Sou!"
At the crucial moment, Xiao Chen finally opened his tightly shut eyes. That tiny saber Qi was faster than the speed of sound. At such a close distance, by the time Xiao Chen opened his eyes, it had already arrived in front of his eyes.
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground with his feet, and his entire body spun rapidly. His spinning body created a shockwave, and tiny cyclones appeared in the surrounding space.
The thin saber Qi chased after Xiao Chen, quickly extending through the air. Everywhere it passed, cracks appeared in the air. The thin thread-like saber Qi seemed like it would catch up to Xiao Chen in the next moment. However, it could not catch up.
The corner of Zhang Lie's lips curled up. He raised his right hand, which held the saber, and the thin thread started to become thinner. He looked at Xiao Chen and smiled, "It's useless. No matter how fast you run, you will not be able to escape from my Everlasting Startling Cloud infused with Small Perfection saber intent."
Xiao Chen's entire body continued to spin. He did not waver because of Zhang Lie's words. The thin thread-like saber Qi eventually became so thin that it could not be seen with the naked eye. Then, it completely disappeared into the air.
Xiao Chen had already learned the Everlasting Startling Cloud. Naturally, he would not think that the Everlasting Startling Cloud had already run out of energy. The next burst of energy was the true essence of the Everlasting Startling Cloud.
Xiao Chen's body continued to spin, rising higher and higher. In the blink of an eye, he was a hundred meters away.
The Lingyun Saber Technique itself was a Superior Grade Earth Ranked Martial Technique. This was especially so for the final three moves; they were close to the might of a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique.
Furthermore, it had infused all of Zhang Lie's saber intent. How strong would this Everlasting Startling Cloud be? Even Xiao Chen himself did not know.
If he wanted to block this move, aside from the seventeenth move of the Lingyun Saber Technique, Twisting Road Around Peak, Xiao Chen had no other way to do so.
However, this Twisting Road Around Peak did not allow Xiao Chen to make a breakthrough. He only had a flash of inspiration and comprehended something. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took the risk and executed it based on his intuition.
If he failed, Xiao Chen would be severely injured by the Everlasting Startling Cloud infused with saber intent, wasting half a year of his time. If he succeeded, he would comprehend the seventeenth move of the Lingyun Saber Technique, Twisting Road Around Peak. From then on, he would have another true killing move.
With a fifty-fifty chance of victory, Xiao Chen did not hesitate to bet on it. With his current comprehension ability, he was still unable to comprehend the Twisting Road Around Peak. It was clear that once he comprehended the Twisting Road Around Peak, its might would be extremely horrifying.
Now that this opportunity was right in front of him, if he did not use it, he might have to wait another ten years before he could comprehend it again.
"Appear!"
Zhang Lie shouted, and the thin line that originally disappeared in the air became like a laser saber Qi. It appeared out of nowhere and pierced through the entire formation, continuing to move forward.
"Hu!"
Outside the drill grounds, a wall two thousand meters away from Zhang Lie was pierced by the saber Qi. The entire wall immediately cracked and collapsed in the next moment.
Fortunately, the attack area of the thin line was only a small area. When it disappeared, Xiao Chen's body started to grow taller. At this moment, he was already several hundred meters above the ground.
"Die! Everlasting Startling Cloud, explode! "
Zhang Lie roared ferociously, and the saber Qi that was as resplendent as a laser suddenly scattered. It turned into countless beams of light and exploded in all directions. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
The beams of light were like fireworks exploding. It was like the most beautiful scene in the world. However, the more beautiful something was, the more deadly it was. This beam of light was no exception.
"Good! Zhang Lie's saber intent is indeed horrifying. Originally, the Everlasting Startling Cloud could only be executed on a flat surface. Now, it has no blind spots. Furthermore, its might is very strong; it is already very close to a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. "
"I guarantee it with my status as the Biyun Peak's Peak Master. Even if Ye Chen does not die, he will be severely injured. He will not be able to dodge it!"
Song Que, whose eyes originally had no color in them, immediately shouted excitedly when he saw this scene. It was as though he was afraid that others did not know. His voice was shockingly loud.
Liu Ruyue also felt conflicted. She did not expect the Everlasting Startling Cloud to be so horrifying. With her strength, she would have to put in a lot of effort to block this move. Could Xiao Chen dodge it?
Every strand of the boundless light contained a horrifying force. It could easily pierce through the defense of a Martial Grand Master. Furthermore, it did not have any blind spots; there was no way to dodge it.
Since he could not dodge it, he might as well break it! Xiao Chen's body stopped spinning and he shouted, "Road Twisting Peak!"
