The dazzling sword light instantly arrived at Xiao Chen's face. The Heavenly Roc below him flapped its wings and blew a strong wind.
Xiao Chen's clothes and hair fluttered continuously. When facing this extremely fast sword strike, his saber instantly moved, bringing with it the momentum of wind and clouds to block it.
"Bang!"
Violent energy exploded out, and the thousand steps beneath their feet exploded, turning into rubble.
In the air, the two enormous energies were locked in a stalemate with each other. Under the curtain of the night, they refracted a multi-colored brilliance.
Xiao Chen quickly spun around in the air, dissipating the force of his saber. His opponent's simple sword strike could only be described as fast.
However, when it reached an extreme speed, the force it carried was equal to a peak Superior Grade Earth Ranked Martial Technique, perhaps even stronger.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a resounding crack of thunder came from thousands of meters in the sky. Clouds moved in all directions, gathering wind and clouds. The first three moves of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique were finally completed.
"Clouds Gather in All Directions, Wind and Lightning Chop!"
Xiao Chen shouted ferociously. Using the momentum, he executed the fourth move of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique.
The Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique had a total of nine moves. The first three moves gathered power, the middle three moved lightning, and the final three moved descended the tribulation. This was the essence of the Lightning Tribulation.
After Xiao Chen executed it, the mysterious phenomenon became like a real lightning tribulation. It slowly arrived and exploded.
With the support of saber intent, this Wind and Lightning Chop brought out its greatest might in Xiao Chen's hands. Wind blew, clouds moved, and thunder roared.
Starting with the momentum of wind and clouds, it erupted with the power of lightning. This was the Wind and Lightning Chop!
The saber hummed continuously as it burned with a purple lightning-fire. Under the illumination of the lightning in the night sky, Xiao Chen's handsome face appeared very serious and dignified in his white robes.
The black-clad man smiled faintly. His expression under the mask was still very calm. He commented softly, "Not bad. Wind in front, gathering power with clouds, and lightning as a spear. You have grasped all the essentials of this move.
"Unfortunately, your understanding of the state of wind is still lacking. That is not how the wind blows!"
The masked man's gaze was as sharp as a sword. With one glance, he could see through the true state of this attack. The golden light behind him became increasingly dazzling. The intense state of light made the dark night even more dazzling than day.
Xiu!
The masked man held the long sword in his hand and thrust it forward. The boundless golden light behind him gathered at one point in an instant. The night, which was as bright as day just a moment ago, instantly darkened.
Under the night sky, only the tip of the sword shone with boundless brilliance. The golden Heavenly Roc spread its wings and let out a shrill cry. Immediately, a violent storm arose, and the golden light directly shot out from the tip of the sword.
Along with this gale, it rushed towards Xiao Chen. As the light flickered, the powerful force caused the surrounding space to wrinkle.
Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. The Golden Celestial Peng's final gale had actually suppressed his Great Gale.
As the wind was suppressed, the clouds above immediately showed signs of dissipating. As the wind and clouds dissipated, the might of the lightning on the blade immediately decreased by 20%.
Boom!
When the golden light struck the blade, the state of light burst forth. The dark night was illuminated by the golden light once again.
Xiao Chen's body shot back like an arrow. His internal organs trembled slightly, and his Qi and blood surged. Blood leaked out of the corner of his lips.
The masked man stood upright while holding his sword. Sword intent circled around the blade, causing the sword to hum. He smiled faintly and said, "Don't try to execute this Saber Technique in front of me. You just learned it. The Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique is not meant for you to play around with."
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm; there were not many fluctuations in his heart. He said indifferently, "That might not necessarily be the case. As long as there is wind, the clouds will not scatter. As long as the wind and clouds do not scatter, the momentum will not be extinguished."
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, the strong wind that the golden Heavenly Roc blew actually started circling around him under Xiao Chen's control.
The clouds above gathered again, and Xiao Chen's aura rose rapidly. He directly executed the fifth move of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, Falling Lightning Chop.
Xiao Chen did not use any fancy moves with this attack. He directly used the might of heavenly lightning to descend from the sky and hack at the masked man.
"Bang!"
The masked man was somewhat astonished. Clearly, he had not expected Xiao Chen to react so quickly. Xiao Chen actually thought of using his opponent's wind to gather momentum again.
"Dang!"
In the time it took for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen quickly swung his sword. The saber and sword clashed, and sparks flew everywhere. A vast electric energy exploded.
This attack forced the masked man back several hundred meters. Cracks appeared on the golden Heavenly Roc behind him, looking like it would explode at any moment.
"Interesting!"
The masked man smiled faintly and waved his hand. The golden Heavenly Roc behind him split apart and turned into nine beams of light descending from the sky, encasing his body.
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen did not give the masked man any time to react. He leaped up and executed the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique with the momentum of wind and lightning, charging over again. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
After the masked man scattered the golden Heavenly Roc, he seemed to have become even stronger. Under the encirclement of the nine beams of light, he remained rooted to the ground, not moving at all.
The masked man's sword gave off a bright light as it danced about.
The masked man's defense was impenetrable, blocking Xiao Chen's attacks over and over again. Bathed in the light, he looked holy and solemn.
When the saber intent and sword intent clashed intensely, the shock waves swept out. The vast fortress on the mountain peak rustled and crumbled.
"Earthly Lightning Tribulation!"
When the masked man's aura reached its peak and the thunderclouds above finally surged, Xiao Chen shouted and executed the final three moves of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique.
All the lightning-attributed Spiritual Energy in the soil of the entire Heavenly Jade Mountain gathered on Xiao Chen's saber, resonating with the thunderclouds in the sky.
This saber strike connected heaven and earth, turning the lightning of the earth into a boundless Great Tribulation that surged out.
"Bang!"
Aside from the area one meter around the masked man, the rest of the ground under his feet exploded, creating a deep, ring-shaped pit.
Under the illumination of the lightning, countless pieces of soil were wrapped in electric arcs, floating in midair.
"Heavenly Lightning Tribulation!"
Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he executed the eighth move of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique. At this moment, all the lightning-attributed Spiritual Energy in the sky turned into nine bolts of Heavenly Lightning that descended and gathered on the saber.
The nine bolts of purple lightning were like ferocious flood dragons, tearing the night sky apart like a piece of black cloth. The entire space shattered under this saber strike.
The golden light around the masked man turned into solid golden sand dancing up and down. His feet did not move at all as he forcefully received this saber strike.
"Boom!"
The ring-shaped pit around the masked man quickly enlarged and deepened. Soon, the entire mountain peak was blasted apart by this saber strike.
When the electric light shot out, the rocks that flew up were all reduced to dust.
As the dust settled, a stone pillar more than a kilometer tall appeared under the masked man's feet. The surrounding mountains, trees, forests, and ancient castles all turned to dust.
"Enough."
Seeing that Xiao Chen was going to execute the final move of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, the masked man finally moved. He casually swung his sword, and the light filling the air turned solid.
Then, it turned into a heavenly sword and shot towards the surging thunderclouds above Xiao Chen's head.
The world is filled with Righteousness. To people, it is called Righteousness. Above are the stars; below are the mountains and rivers. With the bright world, how can one fear Fiendish Demons?!
Suddenly, a resonant song resounded in the mountain forest. It was like ten thousand people singing in unison. The entire world seemed to tremble.
Righteousness Art! This is the orthodox Sword Technique of the Tianwu Dynasty. How does this fellow know it? Xiao Chen thought in astonishment.
The light of the heavenly sword became increasingly dazzling as the song resounded. In the end, it could no longer be seen with the naked eye. With a 'sou', it scattered the boundless thunderclouds in the sky.
When the thunderclouds scattered, the strongest move of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, the Divine Lightning Tribulation, was naturally destroyed.
Xiao Chen's complexion paled slightly. He calmly calculated the situation. Although he still had the stronger Four Season Saber Technique, he had not used it yet.
But even if he used it, he guessed that he only had a fifty percent chance of winning against this mysterious black-clothed man. It was obvious that the other party still had a trump card that he hadn't used.
The masked man smiled and said, "Do you still want to stop me? Go back and make your preparations. With your current strength, it will be hard for you to rank within the top ten of the Five Nation Youth Competition. "
Watching him disappear from sight, Xiao Chen asked Ao Jiao in his mind, "Those ancient patterns on his clothes, do you recognize them?"
Ao Jiao thought for a while and said, "That is the attire of the Tianwu Dynasty's remnant clan. Those patterns are actually the words of the royal clan. They are just redrawn using a kind of artistic method."
As he expected, Xiao Chen closed his eyes. After thinking for a long time, he opened his eyes again and said, "I know who he is."
The attire of the Tianwu Dynasty's remnant races, the strong state of light, the surging sword intent, and the perpetually indifferent temperament. Who else could it be but that person?
However, Xiao Chen had not expected that after not meeting him for more than a year, this person's strength had grown so much.
Ao Jiao said sullenly, "This person is very powerful. The final Luck of the Tianwu Dynasty rests on him. His future accomplishments are immeasurable. He is a great enemy of yours."
Xiao Chen said calmly, "There is no need to care about him. Let's go."
"Go where?"
"After killing the big fish, it is time to make a move on Yu."
Xiao Chen summoned out the scarlet throne and sat on it with his eyes closed. He recovered his exhausted Essence and silently flew towards Mohe City on a scarlet cloud in the night sky.
Only a lonely stone pillar remained on the tallest and largest peak of the Houtian Jade Mountain where Xiao Chen was. Dust churned around it, lingering for a long time.
Four hours later, before the sky had even brightened, that scarlet cloud appeared a kilometer above Mohe City.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and all his fatigue was swept away. A bright light flickered in his eyes before he withdrew it and calmed down.
He got up and walked to the edge of the scarlet cloud. Xiao Chen lowered his head and looked around. His gaze stopped at the imposing Zhang Clan's courtyard.
"Xiu!"
The scarlet throne turned into a beam of scarlet light and returned to Xiao Chen's forehead. Then, Xiao Chen gently floated down.
In the dark night, he stood silently on the walls of the Zhang Clan's courtyard like a ghost. When he saw a group of patrolling cultivators, he flicked his finger and sent out two purple flames.
With a flick of his finger, two purple flames shot out like arrows. A bloody hole appeared on the foreheads of a few cultivators. They did not even have time to say a word before they quietly fell to the ground.
Xiao Chen extended out his Spiritual Sense and soon discovered the strangeness of the great hall. A hundred elite Martial Grand Masters, ten-odd Martial Saints, and the Zhang Clan's Clan Head were all gathered here.
Some of them were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, some were chatting and smiling, and some were drinking tea. The atmosphere in the brightly lit great hall was very strange.
