"The two genius bladesmen finally clashed. Let's see how far Xiao Chen can push Bai Qi."
"There are still two moves of the Four Season Saber Technique that he has not used yet — the Winter Saber and the final Cycle of Seasons. I wonder what other trump cards Xiao Chen has."
"Without the Four Season Saber Technique, with Xiao Chen's sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent, he would be able to deal with Bai Qi. He would even have a good chance of victory."
"How unfortunate. They are both bladesmen, but he ran into Bai Qi, who has the Four Season Saber Technique."
"Being able to comprehend sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent is sufficient to prove that Xiao Chen's talent as a bladesman is stronger than Bai Qi's. However, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's accumulations are weaker."
Although Xiao Chen had a winning streak and the strength he displayed was unfathomable, the crowd still did not think highly of him against Bai Qi.
This was because Bai Qi had the Four Season Saber Technique and had practiced it to Great Perfection.
There were many aspects to a cultivator's combat prowess. Cultivation was the foundation. Martial Techniques could bring out this foundation to its greatest effect. For example, if a person's foundation was one thousand Martial Techniques, if they had a strong Martial Technique, they would be able to bring out one hundred percent, even two hundred percent.
Just a little bit more and he would only be able to bring out seventy percent of the Martial Technique's power, or even half of it.
Strong Martial Techniques were the dreams of all cultivators. This was also one of the important reasons why the great sects could attract so many genius cultivators.
Aside from some hidden places, waiting for people to discover the strong Martial Techniques in the world, the ones that were publicly known were all in the hands of the great sects.
Without a doubt, the Bai Clan was a Noble Clan that could rival a great sect. The Four Season Saber Technique was a Martial Technique that could bring out two hundred percent of its power, maybe even three times.
In the crowd's opinion, if Xiao Chen did not have a sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent, he would not be a match for Bai Qi with the strength he displayed. He would not even be able to receive one move.
Sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent added some variables to this battle, attracting the crowd's attention.
On the Wind Cloud Platform, a strong fighting spirit burned in Bai Qi's heart. The sound of sabers humming appeared in the depths of his eyes. The sharp Saber Will turned into a ray of unparalleled sharpness, piercing through the obstruction of the void like a sharp knife, shooting towards Xiao Chen.
The formless gaze seemed to have substance, bringing with it gusts of wind as it slowly moved towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, and the saber intent gushing from his eyes whistled out. The slowly approaching wind stopped between the two of them, and then suddenly exploded.
Clang!
In the void, there was the crisp sound of weapons clashing. The berserk saber intent pierced through the Wind Cloud Barrier and scattered in all directions. Several cultivators nearby could not help but tighten their grip on their weapons.
They were evenly matched. In terms of aura, no one was able to gain any advantage.
However, this was not the result that Xiao Chen wanted. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, and the saber intent that Xiao Chen sent out suddenly condensed into a line like an invisible saber.
Chi chi!
The saber intent tore through the air, giving off a piercing screech. It scattered Bai Qi's aura in one go and carried the might of the sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent as it flew forward.
Surprise appeared in Bai Qi's eyes. Without much time to think, he could only tilt his head slightly. "Hu chi!" The saber intent turned into a formless energy that brushed past Bai Qi's face. His fine black hair slowly drifted down.
When Bai Qi saw his fine black hair drift down, he was extremely shocked. In a clash of auras, Xiao Chen defeated him without any suspense.
Bai Qi looked at Xiao Chen again, becoming more cautious. He said, "Sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent. Your talent in the Saber Technique is indeed stronger than mine. If you have another two years and you become a Martial Monarch, I will not be a match for you."
When one became a Martial Monarch, all the Essence in one's body would be refined into Quintessence. That would be sufficient to resist the power of the cycle of seasons. The advantage of the Four Season Saber Technique would not be that great.
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm. He did not deny the other party's words. He said calmly, "Do you want to wait another two years? You will know soon enough."
When the cultivators in the spectator stands saw Xiao Chen's calm expression, they were surprised. They said doubtfully, "Strange, where does this Xiao Chen get such big words from? It is like he is very confident and does not care about Bai Qi at all."
Seeing Xiao Chen's attitude, Bai Qi's face sank. He said coldly, "White Robed Bladesman, don't overestimate yourself. I was just flattering you. Don't really think that you are my match."
Xiao Chen placed his right hand on his saber hilt and said indifferently, "I have never overestimated myself. You are not my match now. Two years from now, you will be even less of a match for me. Since you are not going to make a move, I will. "
"Ka ca!"
After Xiao Chen spoke, he drew his Lunar Shadow Saber. Strong winds gathered from all directions. Clouds churned in the sky, heading for Xiao Chen's head.
Winds blew everywhere, and clouds gathered. This was the starting stance of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique. As Xiao Chen moved, he arrived before Bai Qi in a few flashes.
Xiao Chen infused his sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent with the momentum of wind and clouds as he charged forward.
Bai Qi quickly drew his saber and brought out his peak Small Perfection saber intent to its limits. He shouted, "Heaven Breaking Saber Technique, First Move!"
"Dang!"
The sabers clashed, and Xiao Chen pressed forward gently. A surging force surged over. Bai Qi felt the might of the sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent head-on and was forced back by more than twenty meters. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
After gaining the upper hand in one move, Xiao Chen did not hesitate. His entire body turned into a saber, radiating a sharp light as he executed all sorts of attacks.
When Xiao Chen brought out his sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent, its might was startling. Bai Qi, who was not mentally prepared, was caught off guard.
Retreat! Retreat! Retreat again and again!
Before Xiao Chen's overwhelming aura, Bai Qi could not gather the momentum of his Heaven Breaking Eighteen Saber Techniques. In that instant, he retreated more than two hundred meters.
Bai Qi's expression turned cold as he no longer held back. He brought out the Quintessence that he had successfully refined.
The saber immediately gave off a dazzling blue light. As the saber light danced about, tiny, pitch-black cracks appeared in the air. This greatly increased the might of this move, and its aura more than doubled.
Essence and Quintessence. There was a difference of one word, but there was a world of difference.
Just a fifth of Quintessence already had such might. It was hard to imagine how horrifying the strength of Martial Monarchs who had refined all their Essence into Quintessence would be.
"Heaven Breaking Eighteen Saber Techniques! Sixteenth Saber Technique, Furious Chopping the Heavens! Back off!"
Bai Qi roared ferociously. He wanted to use the Quintessence to turn the situation around.
Xiao Chen did not show any fear. His eyes turned scarlet, and a horrifying state of massacre spread out. It merged with the peak state of thunder, and the Lunar Shadow Saber gave off a strange purple-red light.
"The one retreating is you. Winds and Clouds Gather, Thunder Everywhere, heed my call! Earthly Lightning Tribulation!"
The sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent, the peak state of massacre, and the peak state of thunder all merged together. The Earthly Lightning Tribulation of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique burst out at this moment.
The strong energy contained in the saber was enough to make one tremble. Its aura was no weaker than Bai Qi's; in fact, it was slightly stronger.
"Boom!"
A purple bolt of lightning descended from the thundercloud whirlpool above. Xiao Chen's Earthly Lightning Tribulation struck Bai Qi's saber heavily. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Sparks flew from the tip of the saber. Xiao Chen did not stop moving. He pressed his saber against his opponent's saber, forcing Bai Qi to move back frantically.
Shock flashed in Bai Qi's eyes. He was very surprised. What Cultivation Technique does this fellow cultivate? His Essence can actually turn solid.
Even with the two states, sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent, and one-fifth of my Quintessence, I still cannot block him. Xiao Chen has not even condensed Quintessence, and he is already so strong. What will happen when he starts refining Quintessence?
Xiao Chen forced Bai Qi back again. The power of thunder behind Xiao Chen had already completely formed, reaching its peak. Thunderclouds churned, and the sky changed color.
A heavy and oppressive atmosphere spread out, making everyone feel like a Lightning Tribulation was about to descend. Furthermore, Xiao Chen was the emotionless Heavenly Dao that executed the Lightning Tribulation.
"Heavenly Lightning Chop!"
Xiao Chen executed the second move of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique. The white-robed Xiao Chen's body gave off a bright purple light. When he swung his saber, it turned into heavenly lightning descending from the sky.
Bai Qi's eyes flickered. He finally made up his mind to temporarily give up on fighting Xiao Chen. He brandished his saber and took a defensive stance.
"Bang!"
Like a celestial being, Xiao Chen swung his saber horizontally. There was a dull sound, and blood leaked out of a corner of Bai Qi's mouth as he was knocked into the air.
From the start of the competition until now, Xiao Chen's aura flourished, his sharpness unparalleled.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen suppressed Bai Qi all the way, not giving him any opportunities. He forced Bai Qi into a sorry state, forcing him to retreat again and again without any chance to retaliate.
Since the start of the elimination round, Bai Qi had never been in such a difficult and wretched state.
The cultivators in the spectator stands were all startled. This seemed to be different from what they had expected.
"This Xiao Chen is extraordinarily strong. If he did not have the Four Season Saber Technique, Bai Qi would have lost for sure. However, it is really unfortunate for Xiao Chen. "
"Indeed, if Xiao Chen had another two years, the result of today's battle would definitely be different."
Seeing Xiao Chen's strength, several people sighed softly, feeling even more pity for him.
The moment the Four Season Saber Technique was executed, the situation immediately turned around. Even someone as strong as Yue Chenxi could not change the result. How could Xiao Chen do it?
Right now, Bai Qi was probably waiting for Xiao Chen to finish executing the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique and his momentum to weaken. Then, he would execute the Four Season Saber Technique to reverse the situation.
As the crowd spoke, Xiao Chen finally executed the final move of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, the Divine Lightning Tribulation.
Thunderclouds covered the sky, making it dark. It was like the end of the world. The heavy atmosphere made breathing difficult.
When Xiao Chen swung his saber, there was only a flash of dazzling purple light in the sky.
Countless golden deities in the thundercloud whirlpool above shouted, "Mighty Heavenly Might! All those who defy it will be killed without mercy!"
The sound waves spread out, adding a trace of Divine Might to the aura of Xiao Chen's saber strike. If it were the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's founding ancestor executing it, this saber strike would be covered in golden electric light, filled with Divine Might.
Bai Qi's expression turned grave. He did not dare to be careless. He drew out all the Quintessence in his body and formed a thick Quintessence shield in front of him.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen, who was high in the sky earlier, landed before Bai Qi with a flash of electric light. The Divine Lightning Tribulation arrived as planned.
