Chapter 1017: Starlight Defeats the Enemy
Whoosh...
The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple instantly made a move, swinging his sword in attack.
Xiao Yi swung his sword to parry.
Clang...
In the clash of swords, Xiao Yi was shaken back several steps and quickly fell into a disadvantage.
"Do you look down on me?" The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple coldly stared at Xiao Yi.
"No, you're very strong." Xiao Yi shook his head, his eyes filled with battle intent.
These disciples of the 12 Peaks all have cultivation in the Infinite Sacred Realm.
And now this Heavenly Sword Peak disciple is a Sword Dao Practitioner.
Naturally, Xiao Yi did not underestimate him.
"Then why use a top-grade Elemental Artifact?" The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple coldly asked.
"Take out your Sub-Saint Artifact."
Xiao Yi laughed bitterly, "I don't have one, how can I take it out?"
"You don't have one?" The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple frowned.
Low-grade Holy Device is very rare, even ordinary Infinite Sacred Realm martial artists don't have them.
Some heavenly talents from major forces, or those in the Heavenly Extreme Realm, can possess a low-grade Holy Device.
Apart from that, for most martial artists in the Heavenly Extreme Realm and Infinite Sacred Realm, a Sub-Saint Artifact is a standard weapon.
"I don't have another sword, just one." The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple frowned as he looked at Xiao Yi.
"No matter." Xiao Yi shook his head slightly, "This will be a fight to the fullest."
"Fine, as you wish." The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple nodded, then said no more.
Their battle reignited once again.
Clang... clang... clang...
Their swordsmanship was equally exquisite.
Countless sword shadows rampaged across the scene, with constant clangs echoing.
However, Xiao Yi completely fell into the disadvantage.
Firstly, his cultivation was not as high as this Heavenly Sword Peak disciple.
Secondly, his Blizzard Sword could not match the Sub-Saint Artifact of the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple.
Repeated clashes led to his complete suppression.
From a distance, Fang Shushu and the others showed slight concern on their faces.
"Brother Xiao is struggling to cope." Fang Shushu said in a deep voice.
Lih Fengxing nodded, "Even though their level of combat exceeds my level of power, I can see that continuing like this, Xiao Yi is bound to lose."
"It shouldn't be." Fang Shushu said doubtfully.
"What shouldn't be?" Lih Fengxing also asked in confusion.
Fang Shushu said in a deep voice, "Brother Xiao was extraordinarily powerful when he crossed the Xuan Lock Chain."
"The feeling he gives me is that he is deeply hidden and has extraordinary strength."
"He can't possibly not be a match for this Heavenly Sword Peak disciple."
"Extraordinary strength?" Lih Fengxing laughed bitterly, "Just watch, this guy often surprises people."
"Perhaps what truly makes us think he's extraordinary is not just his strength, but his ability to defy expectations and turn failure into victory."
"Ha." Fang Shushu nodded with a smile, "I feel the same way."
In the distance, the battle between Xiao Yi and the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple had already changed.
"Cold Ice Domain, rise." Xiao Yi shouted in a low voice.
Boom... an invisible force instantly covered the area within a thousand meters.
Snowflakes floated gracefully out of thin air.
At the same time, two beams of light flashed across Xiao Yi's arm.
Two Ice Patterns instantly activated.
From a distance, the observing deacons did not notice these two beams of light.
Because their attention was entirely drawn to the emerging domain.
"Huh? A domain?"
"How is this possible? This kid is only at the Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer, yet he's already constructing a domain?"
"Wait, what was the martial art of this kid in the second trial?"
The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon spoke as he grabbed the scroll from Deacon Youu's hand.
Deacon Youu glared at him.
The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon ignored him, looked at a few pages, then nodded, "Ice Sword Dao, a top-tier Sword Dao, indeed."
After saying that, the Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon turned back to watch the battle, "Looking at the situation, this kid has another complete Sword Dao, which is also top-tier."
"Incredible, a mere Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer can merge two complete top-tier Sword Daos, making them harmonize, this comprehension and control power is remarkable."
"What's so remarkable about it?" The Sky-reaching Peak Steward said discontentedly.
"What's so remarkable?" The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon rolled his eyes, "Back in my day, I merged nothing more than a first-class Sword Dao."
"And only at the Heavenly Extreme Seventh Layer did I begin to have the ability to harmonize them, eventually merging them into a domain."
"Tell me what's so remarkable about this kid?"
Meanwhile, the battle between Xiao Yi and the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple gradually reached a climax.
The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple also summoned his domain, unleashing his full combat strength.
Xiao Yi needed no further explanation, with both Ice Patterns and domain fully activated.
Their battle gradually reached a fever pitch.
The exquisite sword-fighting was dazzling to behold.
Even till now, Xiao Yi remained at a disadvantage, but the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple couldn't defeat Xiao Yi quickly either.
"If this continues, you'll definitely lose in less than three minutes," the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple swung Xiao Yi back and said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "I ask, is this your strongest ability now?"
"It is." The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple nodded.
"Then I'll end the battle now." Xiao Yi chuckled lightly.
"Arrogant." The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple shouted coldly.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly, and the momentum of the Blizzard Sword in his hand suddenly changed.
Specks of starlight suddenly emerged on the sword.
As the sword moved, the starlight followed.
As the sword passed, the starlight crushed in.
"What?" The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple's expression changed.
"Heavenly Sword Slash." The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple's sword momentum instantly erupted.
His intuition told him that Xiao Yi's current strength had exceeded his expectations.
This slash was one of the ultimate techniques of the Heavenly Sword Peak, and also his strongest martial technique.
Boom... A massive sword Qi suddenly condensed in mid-air.
Underneath the massive sword Qi, the sword intent was astonishing.
The sword in Xiao Yi's hand remained unwavering, stabbing straight out.
Boom... An explosive sound was heard.
The starlight crushed in, instantly obliterating the massive sword Qi.
"Pu."
As the massive sword Qi was broken, the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple immediately suffered backlash and vomited blood.
When he stabilized the roiling Qi-blood within his body, a sharp sword flooded with starlight had already reached his throat.
"You've lost." Xiao Yi said indifferently.
"Lost..." The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple squinted, his eyes full of disbelief.
But in the next second, that disbelief turned into a smile.
"Alright, I admit defeat with satisfaction." The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple chuckled lightly, withdrew his sword.
"Well fought." Xiao Yi also sheathed his sword and cupped his hands.
"He won." From a distance, Fang Shushu and Lih Fengxing smiled joyfully.
"I said, this guy always likes to take people by surprise." Lih Fengxing shook his head and smiled.
"This is the Brother Xiao I know." Fang Shushu nodded.
"Just now, that sword flooded with starlight, I wouldn't have managed to parry it—he truly deserves to be recognized as extraordinary by me, Fang Shushu."
At this moment, Xiao Yi just returned and, upon hearing Fang Shushu's words, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Before long, the battle reignited.
The assessments of the other nine heavenly talents continued.
Xiao Yi watched with keen interest, yet did not notice the increasingly somber face of the distant Sky-reaching Peak Steward.
...
The second update.
