Jiang Liechen felt as if he had just been saved from death's door. He paused for a moment and then burst out laughing. "Li Yijie," he said, "Turns out you're only relying on your mouth. Without the sword, you have no foundation to protect yourself. What do you have to fight with me? "Li Yijie's face instantly turned pale. He said in a low voice," Xuan Shuang, what's going on? "His first reaction was that the destruction of the long sword must have something to do with the potion he gave him.
Xuan Shuang shrugged. "You can imagine," he said, "that the potion was able to break his defensive technique, which shows how corrosive it is. Injuring others will also injure yourself. Your sword couldn't withstand the pressure, so it was destroyed. However, you've achieved your goal, so it was worth it. You should be content. "Li Yijie was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't refute Xuan Shuang's fallacious reasoning. Nangong Xue anxiously said, "Martial Brother, what should we do? Why don't I give you my sword … "
At this moment, a hearty laugh was heard. "There's no need. Brother Li, I'll give you this Afterimage Sword. " They saw Yuan Yi walking out of the forest with a smile on his face. The sword in his hand was indeed the world's most precious treasure, the Afterimage Sword. Li Yijie was stunned. "Brother Yuan," he said, "how did you get this sword? Don't tell me …? "
Yuan Yi laughed. "I know what you're worried about. Ay, you're always like this. Other people are heartless to you, but you're still kind and don't want to be unjust to them. Don't worry, just now when I was fighting with Xiao Xuan, we were evenly matched. Suddenly, we were hit by the shockwave and Xiao Xuan was thrown down the mountain. I checked her breathing to make sure she was safe and sound, so I gave you the Afterimage Sword. I hope it will be of some help to you. "
Li Yijie was grateful, but hesitant at the same time. "This …" he said hesitantly. Thinking that the Residual Shadow Sword had absorbed the blood of countless departed souls, it was an ominous sword. If he used it against the enemy, wouldn't it go against his identity as the Righteous Alliance Leader?
Jiang Liechen snorted disdainfully. "I knew it a long time ago. There's no need to count on that bitch to accomplish great things for me. Hmph, a useless person like you is not worthy of using the Afterimage Sword. You will only be wasting an ancient divine weapon. " There was a double meaning in his words. At the same time, he raised his palm into the air and secretly activated his inner energy, wanting to regain control of the treasured sword. Li Yijie did not exert any strength, but the sword remained in his hand, motionless.
Xuan Shuang clapped his hands and laughed, "Looks like you're right! The Afterimage Sword thinks that a useless person like you doesn't deserve to show off in front of it. Therefore, as soon as you lost your power, it immediately recognized Alliance Leader Li as its master and will no longer respond to you. "Jiang Liechen angrily said," You're courting death! "Now that he could finally move, he gathered his inner energy in his fists and rushed toward Li Yijie.
Nangong Xue anxiously said, "Martial Brother! Since I can use the Cang Quan Dragon's Cry, you can also use the Afterimage Sword! There's nothing wrong with the treasured sword itself. What matters is the user's intention and the true intention of using it for the benefit of the people! "Li Yijie's heart was surging with emotion. He raised his sword and blocked Jiang Liechen's attack, then backhanded it toward Jiang Liechen's neck. Jiang Liechen's palms moved like the wind. As soon as he neutralized Jiang Liechen's attack, he immediately raised his palms and attacked Jiang Liechen's abdomen. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were fighting again.
The rest of the people on the side silently observed the situation. After a while, the original Manor Head whispered, "Did you notice? Not only is the Seven Demons' power sealed, even the remnants of his inner energy are almost gone. "
Manor Head Ping muttered, "That's right, it's true. But could it be that after all that torment, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice his own blood and finally became a demon, but he's still limited to a low-level demon? His power is similar to the principle of the Great Demonic Art. It's just a matter of forcefully increasing his own internal energy and performing beyond his limits. Once the external energy is sealed, even his own inner energy has been depleted and he can't continue? "
Manor Head Liu happily said, "If that's really the case, then the Seven Demons is just holding on for dear life. When the time comes, we'll definitely be able to destroy this demon once and for all. " Nangong Xue, however, was still deeply worried and said, "Even if he has less than ten percent of his internal energy left, Martial Brother still won't be able to gain the upper hand."
Large beads of sweat rolled down Li Yijie's forehead as he struggled to maintain a stalemate with Jiang Liechen. However, the situation was the same as before. Every time he attacked with all his strength, Jiang Liechen would also defend with all his strength. However, the two of them were still evenly matched, neither able to outlast the other. Every time Li Yijie made a move, no matter which direction he attacked from, Jiang Liechen would always be able to parry it. Similarly, Jiang Liechen's attacks were also ineffective. At this moment, the two of them finally felt like they were destined to be enemies. Neither of them was willing to give way to the other.
However, Li Yijie still had the Residual Shadow Sword. Previously, he had been waiting for others to exhaust Jiang Liechen's strength. Until now, they were only evenly matched in strength. This was enough to show the difference between the two of them. When Jiang Liechen also realized this difference, his previous arrogance reappeared. He laughed wildly, "Hahahaha, Li Yijie, even if you have the Residual Shadow Sword, you're still not my match. If you continue to persist, let's see which of us will die of exhaustion first! "
Li Yijie also laughed coldly. "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. From the very beginning, the best outcome I could think of was to perish together with you. Do you think that's enough to make me worry? "
Jiang Liechen said angrily, "Seeking defeat before seeking victory, you're simply a good-for-nothing! You think you're worthy of being my opponent? " Li Yijie smiled faintly. "You have a goal but it's unrealistic. In the end, all you have left is empty talk. In my opinion, you're the one who's even more useless."
Jiang Liechen heard this and became even angrier. He shouted, "Impudent! I won't be finished just like this. I want to show you who's the one who's empty talk! "True energy suddenly surged from his hands as he counterattacked Li Yijie. After a heavy blow to his abdomen, the second strike landed between his heart and lungs.
Li Yijie's body trembled and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was forced to retreat continuously. It was as if the situation had suddenly reversed. Li Yijie was the one who staggered, unable to find the time to counterattack. Nangong Xue's heart trembled as he watched. Yuan Yi and the others also broke out in a cold sweat. They didn't expect that Jiang Liechen would still be able to counterattack at this point. Jiang Liechen seemed to be putting his life on the line. He ferociously struck Li Yijie's chest with his palms, as if he still had some strength left to use.
Among the group of people, only Xuan Shuang was the calmest. After watching the battle for a while, he saw that the situation was getting worse and worse for Li Yijie. He frowned and said, "How troublesome! Hey, Alliance Head Li, I'll give you my inner energy first. "He flipped his palms and placed them on Li Yijie's shoulders. These words immediately reminded the others. They all shouted, "Alliance Head Li, I'll help you too!" The original Manor Head and the others all attacked from different directions. They pressed down on Li Yijie's meridians on the back of his heart. Streams of inner energy continuously flowed into his body.
Several of them had already fallen to the ground, in their hazy state they heard these words, they forced themselves to gather their energy, one by one they joined together, some climbed onto Li Yijie's shoulders, some of them were too low, so they grabbed onto his trousers. All of them gathered their internal energy and passed it through his clothes, passing it along the way.
In this way, all of Li Yijie's meridians were opened. His cultivation level suddenly increased by a level. A layer of inner energy formed around his body, just like Jiang Liechen's protective technique. In comparison, there was a layer of strong flowing energy, as if it had a strong vitality.
When everyone withdrew their palms, it was as if all of their energy had been sucked out. They all fell to the ground, exhausted. They watched as Li Yijie slowly raised his Afterimage Sword. The tip of the sword flashed with a faint blue light. It rose inch by inch from the ground. The blue light also gradually spread to the entire sword.
Everyone was counting on Li Yijie's final attack. Not only was it a final struggle, but it was also everyone's last hope. From now on, everyone's fighting strength would be completely lost. They would no longer be able to contend against Jiang Liechen. They had paid a lot of blood and witnessed one disastrous sacrifice after another. If the final victory still fell into Jiang Liechen's hands, they were afraid that everyone would die with everlasting regret.
Li Yijie's eyes were fixed on Jiang Liechen. His heart was also turning upside down. He thought to himself, "This final attack will not only decide the outcome of the feud between me and him, it will also decide the fate of the Wulin world! This is the embodiment of everyone's complete trust in me. How can I … fail to live up to their expectations? Even if I have to put my life on the line, I will not lose! "He coldly said," A just cause enjoys much support, an unjust cause finds little support. Seven Demons, are you still not going to admit defeat? "
Jiang Liechen had heard about the 'transferring of qi' before. If a person with profound martial arts skills transferred all of his internal energy to another person, it would be as if the person who received it had trained for more than ten years. Even if one's martial arts skills were low, with this opportunity, one could quickly become one of the best martial arts masters. However, Li Yijie was already the Wulin's Meng Zhu. He was one of the top figures in Jianghu. If he received the 'transferring of qi' from many martial arts masters, his progress could be imagined.
But he was arrogant by nature. After becoming a demon, his arrogance multiplied. He thought that he was the only one in the world, that no one was qualified to contend with him. This actually obliterated the cautiousness that he had developed as a killer. He swept past Li Yijie's concerns and sneered, "It's just a small trick. How effective do you think it will be? I am undefeatable. This is a fact that cannot be changed! "Even though he said this, he still needed to take some precautions. He crossed his arms in front of him to protect himself. One could faintly see internal energy surging between his arms.
Li Yijie did not make a sound. He continued to raise the Afterimage Sword as if there was no one around. The blue light had already spread to the sword hilt. The silvery white sword reflected the blue light, dazzling the eyes. The several diamonds embedded in the sword hilt were sparkling and translucent. At the same time, they refracted a rainbow light.
Li Yijie felt as if there was a kind of power within the sword that was calling out to him. At the same time, it was guiding him to deliver the final blow to the enemy in front of him. It was to end all the disputes of these years and completely save the world from the shadow of evil's rule.
The original manor lord and the others half propped themselves up and stared at him with difficulty. They secretly prayed for the protection of the heavens. The internal energy gathered in Jiang Liechen's arms was becoming more and more tyrannical. It was especially powerful. It was almost on par with his strength before he had sealed it. In this short moment, to everyone present, it was the moment that would decide their fate. Everyone was extremely flustered and no one dared to lower their guard.
By the time Li Yijie's Afterimage Sword was in a straight line with his shoulder, his body was already enveloped in a layer of blue light. He smiled slightly and said, "If we don't try, how can we know the result?" He suddenly leapt up and hacked at Jiang Liechen.
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "In your dreams!" At the same time, he waved his sleeves and blocked Li Yijie's sword. The two of them entered a stalemate. The blue light of the Afterimage Sword spread out and enveloped the two of them in a transparent sphere. Both of them unreservedly used their internal energy to attack each other. Li Yijie was concerned about the lives of the world's common people. Jiang Liechen was wholeheartedly "gambling on the dignity of the devil".
The Afterimage Sword's initial spiritual energy dissipated. The resentful energy that had been attached to the sword for many years began to stir. Layers of black energy lingered around the sword, gradually corroding the originally transparent blue sphere and turning it grey. This grey sphere then gradually turned into a deep black. The blade of the sword formed a small round bead. Its appearance was like a water droplet. It floated up from the middle and moved to the sides as the two of them strengthened their internal energy. Sometimes it moved closer to Li Yijie's side, sometimes it moved closer to Jiang Liechen's side.
Nangong Xue remembered hearing that the Afterimage Sword was called the devil sword because it was not an item of the human world. It contained divine power and a large amount of resentful energy. If the user's willpower was not strong enough or if their internal energy was not enough, they would be corroded by the resentful energy within the sword and lose their consciousness. He called out, "Senior Martial Brother, pull yourself together!"
