Chapter 800: Life-and-Death Battle
"This kid's power has surged to this level?" Jun Shitian was greatly surprised, his hand brushing over the space ring, and a black demon spear appeared in his hand.
Clang!
Xiao Ye's Xiao Blade slashed down, blocked by Jun Shitian's strike. The clash caused sparks to fly, and the sharp, unmatched sword energy crisscrossed, rushing toward all directions with the eerie glow bursting from the black spear.
"Quickly dodge!"
The devilish disciples of the Taiyi Palace and the inner sect disciples of the Piaomiao Sect, witnessing the scene below, were all terrified and hurriedly fled backward.
Boom boom boom boom!
They hadn't escaped for long when the place they previously stood was riddled with holes by the sword energy and the glow from the spear. The ground became pockmarked with a web-like pattern of cracks spreading in all directions, smoke and dust swirling up to the Nine Heavens.
Witnessing this scene, all disciples broke out in a cold sweat.
Is this the combat power of an Emperor Martial Realm expert? Just the fight's turbulence is enough to seriously injure or even kill them; they don't even have the qualifications to interfere.
Rumble!
At this moment, a battle had once again erupted in the sky.
With a black demon spear in hand, Jun Shitian seemed like a Demon Lord, dominating all directions. The spear in his hand fired icy gleams, aiming to shroud all vital points of Xiao Ye's body.
Clearly, the spear in Jun Shitian's hand was also a powerful Emperor Weapon.
The Xiao Blade in Xiao Ye's hand, however, was unstoppable and unparalleled. The sword light it unleashed shattered the All Heavens and warded off all of Jun Shitian's spear attacks, then launched a strong counterattack.
At this moment, the Xiao Blade in Xiao Ye's hand was like a Sky Dragon breaking free, sweeping through the All Heavens World and unleashing immense power. The sword light it emitted could even slice the Heavenly Dome, reaching an extreme terror.
With one strike, the winds and clouds changed color, and ghosts wailed and wolves howled!
At this moment, Xiao Ye's power was entirely on par with Jun Shitian, their fight evenly matched.
As they battled, their figures flashed, using the entire underground palace as their battlefield, leaving destruction in their wake. Even the void was being shattered.
The two peak young experts were using their Emperor Weapons in a fierce confrontation, neither yielding.
"How has Junior Brother Xiao Ye's power suddenly increased so much?"
"Indeed, it's terrifying. Junior Brother Xiao Ye was clearly severely injured earlier and couldn't move, yet his power now is entirely of the Emperor Martial Realm, many times stronger than before!"
"Although Junior Brother Xiao Ye comes from East State, a place with a backward martial arts background, he harbors many secrets. Whether it's the strength he displays now or his King Realm, and that mysterious King Martial Technique, they're all very extraordinary."
"Alright, stop discussing it. Regardless of what secrets Junior Brother Xiao Ye has, he is our Holy Palace's number one devilish disciple. We only need to help him keep his secrets." At this moment, a devilish disciple with cultivation at the King Martial Peak spoke coldly, his sharp gaze sweeping over, making everyone silent and nod in agreement.
Indeed, regardless of what secrets Xiao Ye harbors, he is the first devilish disciple of our Taiyi Palace.
After the help and life-saving grace Xiao Ye provided, regardless of what treasures he possesses, they wouldn't harbor any envy or jealousy.
People are not grass and trees; how can they be heartless?
Through his actions, Xiao Ye had completely won over this group of devilish disciples, who held immense respect for him.
"If we see Junior Brother Xiao Ye unable to withstand Jun Shitian, no matter what, we must rush to help; we cannot let Junior Brother Xiao Ye be killed by this villain."
"Right, Junior Brother Xiao Ye saved us several times, now it's our turn to repay Junior Brother Xiao Ye."
...
Fourteen devilish disciples and the inner sect disciples of the Piaomiao Sect looked resolutely at the battle raging above the Heavenly Dome.
At this time, the battle above the Heavenly Dome had reached a fever pitch.
The speed at which Xiao Ye and Jun Shitian exchanged strikes had reached an extreme, with countless sword lights dancing, colliding incessantly with the shadows of the black demon spear, causing the entire heavenly capital to tremble violently.
Although Xiao Ye appeared imposing, the wounds on his body were rapidly increasing. Due to excessive blood loss, his face had turned pale as paper, relying solely on the vast Emperor Martial Power within to barely support his fight against Jun Shitian.
"Haha, relying on external power is never the right path. Matching me is even more impossible. As long as I drag the time, without me attacking again, you will fall on your own." Jun Shitian, having battled Xiao Ye for so long, had already grasped Xiao Ye's situation. With a mocking expression, he said calmly.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Ye gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness.
Jun Shitian was right; if this dragged on, it wouldn't take even half a stick of incense time before his physical body couldn't bear it and collapsed.
After all, no matter how strong the Emperor Martial Power is, without a physical body to wield it, what use is it?
Then it would truly be the end. At that time, not just him, even the devilish disciples of the Holy Palace and the inner sect disciples of the Piaomiao Sect wouldn't be spared given Jun Shitian's nature, all would be slaughtered!
"It seems I must risk it, while my body hasn't completely collapsed yet!"
A resolute light flashed in Xiao Ye's eyes. The Xiao Blade in his hand instantly lifted high, unleashing a hundred-zhang sword light, piercing straight into the Nine Heavens, shattering the clouds, slashing toward Jun Shitian.
"Haha, the same move again. Such an attack will only accelerate your body's collapse!"
Jun Shitian was not surprised at all, as the black demon spear in his hand thrust out like an awakened Jiao Long, stabbing toward the sword light.
Boom-crack!
It was as if countless thunders roared across the Heavenly Dome. Xiao Ye's sword light was shattered in an instant by Jun Shitian's spear, countless storms whipping up vast clouds of dust, covering the sky and sun.
"I told you, I've already seen through your moves. They're useless against me. When your body fully collapses, that will be your death date." Jun Shitian said coldly, but before he could finish, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Oh really?"
Xiao Ye had already soared above Jun Shitian's head, at this moment, the Xiao Blade in his hand shooting out an unparalleled sword light, unexpectedly extending five hundred zhang. His body was already on the brink of collapse.
Clearly, Xiao Ye was forcefully activating his internal Emperor Martial Power, aiming for the strongest strike to kill Jun Shitian. He was fighting desperately!
This time, it was either Jun Shitian or him who would perish!
"Die!" Before Xiao Ye's body fully collapsed, he slashed down with his Xiao Blade.
