The moment Lu Cheng was blasted away, everyone's heart skipped a beat. That punch was too fierce and overbearing, and flesh and blood could not withstand it.
That punch could probably take half of Lu Cheng's life.
The people watching the battle from afar all looked horrified. Today, the number one holy land of swordsmanship in Emperor Xia's Realm had sent such a lineup to deal with several archmages. They had thought that they would be doomed this time, but they had never thought that Ye Wuchen would explode first, and then Yu Sheng would descend like a demon, crushing someone as strong as Lu Cheng.
"I've seen him before, at Jiutian Temple a few years ago. He is still on the Jiutian Ranking, but at that time he challenged the magi," someone exclaimed. Someone cried out in surprise, revealing a look of shock. It was as if he had recalled the insufferably arrogant attitude of the three back then. "He came from the Nine States."
"The three cultivators who appeared briefly a few years ago?" Many people had heard of the battle at Jiutian Temple, which had caused a stir in the Upper Worlds. After all, three people from the Nine States had broken through the Ninth Layer of Heaven at the same time, and Princess Xia Qingyuan had been there to watch the battle.
"Yes, this person is one of them." That person said, and suddenly many people were shocked. Now they understood why Lihen Heaven had sent such a lineup. The people who had broken through Jiutian Temple back then could not be taken down by ordinary people. As for why they had come, it was clear.
Pei Qianying, a disciple of Lihen Heaven, had been destroyed in Jiutian Temple, in front of several other disciples of Lihen Heaven.
Although Pei Qianying and the other party had enmity first, and he had threatened to wait for them in the Ninth Layer of Heaven, but after all, they were cultivators of Lihen Heaven. It seemed that these disciples of Lihen Heaven wanted to avenge Pei Qianying. No wonder Lu Cheng had said that he would destroy the three when he first came.
But perhaps even he himself did not expect that the people who had broken through Jiutian Temple had become so powerful after a few years. As strong as he was, he was still crushed.
Many people in the Upper Worlds, like the cultivators of Lihen Heaven, had heard of the battle a few years ago. They knew that the three were strong, but they did not know exactly how strong they were.
But today, they saw one of them.
Compared to the rumors a few years ago, he could only be stronger.
"Boom." Yu Sheng strode forward and continued to walk toward the fallen figure. His body was surrounded by a terrifying and domineering pressure, and his demon-like figure gave off a suffocating pressure.
Ye Futian had brought cultivators of the Saint Plane to the Upper Worlds because of what had happened all those years ago. However, they had been found the moment they went to the Upper Worlds. Yu Sheng naturally knew what this meant. The moment they went to the Upper Worlds, they had already been targeted.
Otherwise, it was impossible for them to arrive so quickly.
The students of Lihen Heaven saw what Yu Sheng was doing and walked up to Lu Cheng. Sword will coursed all over them and a terrifying net of swords seemed to have appeared in the space. The sword will of Lihen shrouded every corner.
"Bang."
There was a loud noise and all the Buddhas and Demons appeared behind Yu Sheng. The Buddhas and Demons were one, and their power pressed down. Their palms slammed forward at the same time. Yu Sheng's domineering body also slammed out a palm, like the Vairocana Vairocana, but it was the Vairocana Vairocana Palm with demonic attributes, blasting towards the cultivators in front of him.
The swordsmen of Lihen Heaven slashed out with their swords at the same time, and suddenly the palms were torn apart. Yu Sheng's body strode forward, and the ground shook. The swordsmen of Lihen Heaven pointed their swords at Yu Sheng, and all the swords merged into one, piercing Yu Sheng's body.
That body of dark golden demonic armor seemed indestructible, but even so, the armor was still torn apart bit by bit by the sword will of Lihen. The terrifying sword will even cut through one's spiritual will, rushing into Yu Sheng's mind. If it had been anyone else, their body would have been separated and cut into thousands of pieces.
However, Yu Sheng's body was already at its limit. After the Sacred War ended, his body was also tempered by Saint Jiang's medicinal baths, and his body was as strong as it was below the Saint Plane. That was not something that could be broken by numbers. After all, with more people, no one's attack power would be increased, and if the attacks were not strong enough to break through the defense, it would be useless to have more people. There might still be hope if the battle matrix increased the destructive power of the attacks.
"Roar." A shocking roar was heard. The roar of a lion shook the sky and rang in everyone's ears. The swordsmen of Lihen Heaven felt like their heads were about to explode. They then saw Yu Sheng throw a punch, and the void seemed to have exploded, and one figure after another was sent flying.
The powerful swordsmen of Lihen Heaven were unstoppable. What kind of power was that?
"Boom."
Yu Sheng took another step and continued to move forward, heading straight for Lu Cheng, who had already stood up. The sword that Lu Cheng had slashed at Ye Wuchen and the others before was full of murderous intent.
Seeing that demon-like figure stepping forward, Lu Cheng's heart pounded. Brilliant sword light shone all over his body, and his Life Spirit bloomed. From the sky, a giant sword appeared. He felt a fatal crisis. Obviously, Lu Cheng did not expect the people of the Nine States to be so powerful.
Above Yu Sheng's body, the light of the Buddha and the demon blazed. Seeing that there was saintly might above Lu Cheng, he took out a divine implement. He did not hesitate to take out the Axe of Judgment and slashed at Lu Cheng's body.
"Slash." Lu Cheng put his hands together above his head and waved them forward. Suddenly, the giant sword above his head slashed out, and a thick sword mark appeared in the sky. It was like a natural crack, cutting through the void and piercing through the sky.
Yu Sheng's Axe of Judgment slashed down, and suddenly the sword mark exploded and was destroyed. The swordsmanship continued to collapse, and Yu Sheng slashed at Lu Cheng with the power to cut the sky.
With a loud noise, the Axe of Judgment slashed on the divine sword, crushing Lu Cheng's body. He roared, still holding on, and the sword qi soared.
All the Buddha and demons appeared together, and the power pressed down on the sky. The sword qi was broken again, and Lu Cheng fell to his knees. With a loud bang, terrible cracks appeared on the ground, extending in all directions.
"Enough." A shout came from the sky, and the pressure of the Divine Path fell down. The sky shook, and the hearts of many beat faster. They looked up at the sky. The wind and clouds danced, and there was an invisible pressure of the Divine Path flowing above the sky, extremely sharp.
This pressure directly pressed down on Yu Sheng, asking him to stop.
Yu Sheng looked up and glanced at the void with a cold expression. The Axe of Judgment continued to slash down, and Lu Cheng spat out blood continuously. His body was about to collapse, and his internal organs were shaking. They had reached their limit, and they felt like they were about to be destroyed.
"How dare you."
A cold shout came out, and the wind and clouds above the sky moved. There was a monstrous sword will condensed, and in the next moment, a loud rumble was heard, and a sword came from the sky. The void seemed to have really cracked, and the sword traveled for three thousand miles, stabbing at Yu Sheng with the force of lightning.
That world seemed to be about to be buried by this sword. Everyone in the distance retreated in a frenzy, worried that they would be attacked by the aftermath, but obviously, they were thinking too much. The opponent's control of the sword was so strong that it was only aimed at Yu Sheng, and there was no way it would affect the swordsmen of Lihen Heaven.
Yu Sheng looked up at the sword, and it came in an instant. He had to take back the Axe of Judgment and slashed at the sword will in the void.
The sword came from the sky, and as it fell, the space where Yu Sheng was seemed to have been pierced, and the ground was shattered in a frenzy, full of holes. The burly body that was like a demon god retreated in a frenzy, and the clothes on his body were torn. A sword pierced the Axe of Judgment, swallowing and spitting endless terrifying sword might, crazily tearing his body apart.
With a roar, Yu Sheng's terrifying defense was torn apart by the sword aura. Blood bloomed, and his body was sent flying. It was only then that the sword stopped and flew back into the void, where the tip of the sword pointed, swallowing thousands of miles.
"Bang."
A loud noise was heard, and everyone saw Yu Sheng's body fall to the ground, covered in blood. Everyone looked up at the sword in shock, and the sword mark that stretched for thousands of miles in the sky.
The Three Thousand Mile Sword. They already knew who the sword was.
It was the Sword Saint of Liyang of Lihen Heaven.
The Sword Saint of Liyang, even in the Upper Worlds, was definitely considered a great figure. At the same time, he was also the master of Lu Cheng and the others. He cultivated in Lihen Heaven, and his strength was unfathomable.
At this time, there was a faint shadow gathering on the sword hanging in the sky. It was the figure of the Sword Saint of Liyang, and at the same time, the person Pei Qianying had knelt to beg. The Jueying Sword Saint knew that he could not deal with the people of the Holy Zhi Palace, so he had taken Pei Qianying to Lihen Heaven and used them to fight.
The Sword Saint of Liyang naturally knew what the Jueying Sword Saint was thinking, but when he saw his former disciple kneeling on the ground and remembered that his cultivation had been destroyed, he still sent out the swordsmen of Lihen Heaven, and had them follow the rules of Jiutian Temple to capture Ye Futian and the others.
However, even though the Sword Saint of Liyang thought very highly of Ye Futian and the others, Lihen Heaven had sent out an extremely strong lineup, but they had still been crushed.
He glanced at Yu Sheng. He had not expected that such a person would appear in the Lower Worlds of the Nine States.
They admitted defeat in this battle.
"Since Lu Cheng has been defeated, Lihen Heaven will not trouble you in the future. This matter ends here," the Sword Saint of Liyang said lightly. Lu Cheng had been crushed, and there was probably no one under his tutelage who could beat Yu Sheng. If he were to kill these juniors, he would probably become a laughing stock.
In reality, he should not have intervened, but when he saw that Yu Sheng wanted to kill Lu Cheng, he could not just watch Lu Cheng be killed, so he had drawn his sword.
Yu Sheng was covered in blood. He looked up angrily at the Sword Saint of Liyang in the void, but he also knew that anger was meaningless.
The number one holy land of swordsmanship in the Upper Worlds, even though the Holy Zhi Palace was now invincible in the Nine States, the gap between them and Lihen Heaven was too great. This was not the Nine States, and there were no rules of the Sacred War.
At that moment, a loud rumbling sound was heard. Many people felt their eardrums trembling, which was extremely uncomfortable. They turned their heads and looked into the distance, only to see a brilliant beam of light shooting towards them. The Sword Saint of Liyang raised his head and glanced in that direction. He then said, "You guys go back."
As soon as he said this, his body disappeared and turned into a sword, heading towards the void. At this moment, the sword might of the Divine Path covered the sky and was even more powerful than before.
The sky was full of swords, and a sword diagram appeared in front of them. In the center of the sword diagram, a sword pierced through the void, so fast that it could not be seen with the naked eye.
Woosh. The Sword Saint of Liyang's sword swallowed and spat out endless sword light, shooting towards the oncoming sword.
The two swords collided in the void, and a terrible current of swordsmanship appeared in the sky.
"Go!" Many people shouted and ran away. The buildings within a radius of hundreds of miles were reduced to dust in an instant. Many people below the Sage Plane coughed up blood, and even those at the Sage Plane retreated in a frenzy.
However, at this moment, their hearts were beating wildly. Not only had they seen an extremely violent and wonderful battle today.
They had actually encountered a Sword Saint fighting in the air!
