Wuqiong Bi could not think of an answer, could not understand how these two juniors working together could block an attack that she had gathered her entire life's cultivation.
If even she, the person involved, could not understand, then those people on the plateau who had not even had the time to see clearly were naturally even more confused.
In reality, even Chen Chang Sheng and Xu You Rong themselves didn't understand how all of this had happened.
They glanced at each other. They had their own guesses, but they did not dare to believe them.
"This is impossible!"
Wuqiong Bi was furious and unwilling to accept this. She swung her horsetail whisk once more at the ground. The green lotus leaves madly danced, exuding an aura of silent extinction. Massive waves seemed to rise from the sea and wreak havoc on the shore. It was like the laws of the world had enveloped the plateau.
If it were a cultivator of slightly weaker cultivation, let alone resisting, just seeing this sight would have their Dao hearts pulverized and they would not be able to muster the will to fight.
Gou Hanshi, Hu Thirty-Two, and the others knew that a battle of this level could no longer be interrupted, so they stopped on the outskirts.
This battle had entered its most crucial moment. Tang Thirty-Six could no longer control his emotions. He no longer stared at Bie Yanghong, but at the other side.
The disciples of South Stream Temple, the experts of the Imperial Court, the Guardians of the two great clans, the elders of the sects of the south … everyone was looking in that direction.
The cultivators on the plateau all had their own standpoints, their own inclinations, but at this moment, all of them strangely felt the same sort of expectation.
Such a thing had never happened before. It was far too shocking, and logically speaking, it was absurd.
But today, everyone had seen it with their own eyes. Since it had happened once, would it happen again?
The winds howled as Wuqiong Bi's horsetail whisk, carrying that seemingly real yet illusory sea of silent extinction, rumbled toward Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.
The temple sword flew through the air, sprinkling down countless holy rays of light upon the lotus sea, making it particularly bright and beautiful.
At the same time, or perhaps only for an extremely brief moment, the Stainless Sword also flew through the air, closely following the temple sword, burning with countless flames.
The two sword glows reflected each other, illuminating the gloomy lotus sea.
The two sword intents confirmed each other and became even fiercer than before. They were extremely awe-inspiring, and they slashed open a large gap in the aura of death that enveloped the plateau.
Chen Chang Sheng and Xu You Rong's two sword arts seemed to have combined into a single sword art. No, to be more accurate, their swords seemed to have become one sword.
His sword momentum suddenly increased by countless times. Even if the lotus sea was the real Dharma and Logos of Heaven and Earth, it seemed to be able to cut it open!
Smoke and dust rose and then gradually fell.
Chen Chang Sheng stood in front of Xu You Rong, a trickle of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. His clothes had several holes; he had sustained heavy injuries.
Xu You Rong's hair was also a little messy. A few strands of hair fluttered in the wind, covering half of her beautiful eyes.
Wuqiong Bi was also in a rather sorry state. The front lapel of her Daoist robe had been torn off and her Daoist bun had come undone. Her hair draped over her shoulders and drifted about in the wind.
None of this was important.
More importantly, Chen Chang Sheng and Xu You Rong didn't take a single step back.
Wuqiong Bi had not taken a single step forward.
The two sides were tied.
Anyone could see this, and it was also impossible for anyone to believe, even if this was their second time seeing it.
Two cultivators who had not yet stepped into the Divine Domain had actually managed to fight to a draw with an expert of the Divine Domain in a head-on battle!
They had not relied on any divine artifact or technique, only on their own cultivation in the path of the sword and their level of cultivation!
This was something that had never happened in history!
Ever since the Heavenly Tome Monoliths had landed on the Central Continent, it had never happened!
… …
… …
The plateau was still quiet, not a single sound, because everyone was too shocked.
Whether it was Gou Hanshi or the Vice Principal of Scholartree Manor, whether it was the old lady of the Mutuo clan or the head of the Wu clan, whether it was the White Tiger Divine General or the Prince of Xiang, they were all shocked speechless.
No one noticed that in a corner of the plateau, a blue-clothed cultivator wearing a bamboo hat and a blue-clothed cultivator from a small sect of the south was moving closer to the battlefield. No one noticed that in the Imperial Court's diplomatic mission, an extremely unremarkable soldier was moving closer to the White Tiger Divine General.
Wuqiong Bi landed on the plateau and gazed at the horsetail whisk in her hand, a rather perplexed expression on her face.
She had immersed herself in the Divine Domain for many years, and her cultivation history was even longer. Who knew how many bizarre things she had seen?
But none of these events had dealt a greater mental blow to her than the events of the last two days.
How could someone dare to kill my most beloved son?
How could these two juniors be able to fight to a draw with me?
She recalled all the sword styles she had seen in her life in her sea of consciousness, but she still could not understand what was going on.
Previously, Xu Yourong had probably used the Eight Forms of the Opening Vegetarian Style of South Stream Temple, while Chen Changsheng had probably used the Blazing Sword that Su Li had passed on to him. Not to mention the similarities between these two sword techniques, it could even be said that in terms of sword intents and techniques, they were diametrically opposed, completely incompatible. So why was it that when these two sword techniques were combined, they could coordinate so well?
This was absolutely not an ordinary joint sword strike. The degree of perfection of this kind of cooperation could even be said to have far exceeded the degree of intentional cooperation. It was more like some kind of natural movement that secretly catered to the laws and principles of the world. Their defense could be said to be flawless, and their offense was indescribably mysterious. The sword momentum rose abruptly, and its might increased by more than a few times!
Just like Wuqiong Bi, many insightful true experts on the plateau were pondering this question.
Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were also thinking.
The first time, when Xu Yourong broke out of seclusion, the Fire Phoenix swiftly dancing, she had originally wanted to rely on the sword intent she had accumulated in her two years of seclusion to force her way through.
She had not expected that Chen Changsheng's following attack would have such a massive effect.
When his sword and her sword met in the world, they seemed to form some sort of connection.
It was a very mysterious connection, very difficult to describe with words. It could only be sensed.
The sword styles they used were different, but because of this connection, they naturally cooperated. Even their sword intents seemed to fuse into one.
The second time, this feeling was even more obvious and clear.
They could accurately sense what the other was thinking.
The two swords also seemed to be able to determine the trajectory and angle of the other.
Their sword techniques were still different, but their sword intents were interlinked.
It was like two beautiful stones hidden beneath a mossy crust had, through the grinding of each other, revealed their true appearance, and then fused into one peerless piece of jade.
But just what was going on here? How had all of this happened?
Xu Yourong smiled at him and asked, "When did you learn the Unity Sword Art?"
Chen Changsheng replied, "Yesterday, I went to the summit to see you. I had nothing better to do, so I read a few books."
