Chapter 590: Facing 2 Enemies Alone
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
Xiao Yi swiftly swung the Blizzard Sword in his hand.
Dozens of Sword Qi, sky-breaking slashes aimed at Dugu Kuang.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Dugu Kuang had almost no action, as usual, charging forward.
The Sword Qi blasted onto his fists, instantly shattered, and failed to hinder his steps in the slightest.
Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, took ten-odd steps forward again, and slashed with his sword.
This sword contained the ultimate Cold Ice.
This sword, its sound like a tidal wave.
It was the Cold Ice Sea Covering Slash.
At this time, Dugu Kuang's steps were finally halted.
Stomp... Stomp... Stomp...
Dugu Kuang took three consecutive steps back, then his feet and arms were all ice-sealed by the Sword Qi.
"How is this possible?" Tuoba Ao, from a distance, pupils shrank, exclaimed in shock, "Dugu Kuang has been stopped, and even ice-sealed?"
Dugu Kuang's reputation and strength were well above all the Heavenly Talents present.
Even he, the Eldest Prince of the Great Wilderness Country, admitted he was no match for Dugu Kuang.
Moreover, to his recollection, this was the first time Dugu Kuang had been stopped among his Martial Artist peers.
"Allow me to meet your challenge." Feng Jueqing's brows furrowed, his figure flashed, and a sharp sword appeared in his hand, attacking Xiao Yi directly.
"Bring it on." Xiao Yi's expression was indifferent as he uttered a low shout.
Feng Jueqing's sword was extremely fast.
Swoosh, almost in the span of a breath, the tip of the sword was already in front of Xiao Yi.
Clang!
Xiao Yi's Blizzard Sword parried, blocking it.
Buzz...The two swords collided, emitting a symphony of sword hums.
"Hm?" A hint of surprise flickered across the cold eyes of Feng Jueqing.
"Indeed a Genius of the Sword Sect, capable of stopping my swift sword."
"But do you think it's over?"
A sharp Wind Attribute aura emanated from Feng Jueqing's sword.
With a soft bang.
The sword burst forth with an oppressive force, pushing Xiao Yi back a few steps.
"Hm? Wind pressure?" Xiao Yi slightly furrowed his brow.
The sword in Feng Jueqing's hands was named 'Absolute Wind,' one of the strongest Wind Attribute swords among Primordial Artifacts, ranking at the Peak of High Grade Primordial Artifacts.
The Absolute Wind Sword was also a treasure of inheritance from the Skywind Kingdom.
The sword naturally bore sharp Sword Gang, and with one strike, the wind pressure was intense.
Swoosh... Feng Jueqing's figure suddenly vanished from the spot and attacked Xiao Yi once more.
Clang! Xiao Yi parried again with his sword.
The Absolute Wind Sword burst forth with intense wind pressure once again.
But at the same time, the Blizzard Sword in Xiao Yi's hand was also surrounded by swirling snow.
The clash of snowstorm and wind pressure ended with the wind pressure being frozen.
The Blizzard Sword was a Top-grade Elemental Artifact, easily overpowering the Absolute Wind Sword.
Just at this moment, not far away, the ice-sealed Dugu Kuang suddenly emitted a series of cracking sounds.
Crack... Crack... Crack...
The ultimate Cold Ice on Dugu Kuang's body was forcibly shattered by him.
"Hmph, mere child's play." Dugu Kuang snorted coldly, the Cold Frost on his body instantly dispersed.
"Those chunks of ice are quite cold indeed, but they can't imprison me."
Dugu Kuang, having freed himself, swung his fist over again.
Xiao Yi, in the midst of fighting with Feng Jueqing, repelled him with a sword.
With a backhanded slash, he struck Dugu Kuang's fist.
With a thunderous boom,
Dugu Kuang's fist, with his flesh and blood body, forcibly blocked the Blizzard Sword.
Dugu Kuang's other fist, following closely, punched Xiao Yi in the chest.
Xiao Yi's complexion changed, as he was sent flying by the punch.
Stomp... Stomp... Stomp...
He retreated three steps before stabilizing his body, spitting out a trace of fresh blood.
"Such tremendous strength." Xiao Yi was inwardly astonished.
Now he had truly felt Dugu Kuang's power.
No wonder Tie Niu was previously blown away into the Black Sea with one punch.
His chest had just felt like it had been struck by a tall mountain, causing discomfort inside.
Xiao Yi had barely steadied his stance when Dugu Kuang and Feng Jueqing attacked once more.
The two attacked Xiao Yi from left and right.
Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, and the Blizzard Sword in his hands suddenly made big, sweeping cuts.
His sword momentum became straightforward horizontal and vertical slashes, easily blocking the two attackers.
With a clang, Dugu Kuang and Feng Jueqing were both repelled.
"What a fierce sword," Feng Jueqing exclaimed, taken aback.
"This must be the Domineering Sword Technique of the legendary Sky-splitting Sword Demon."
"Truly formidable."
A battle intent that shook the heavens burst forth on Feng Jueqing's face.
On the other side, Dugu Kuang attacked Xiao Yi again, glaring at Feng Jueqing with dissatisfaction.
"Feng Jueqing, get the hell out of my way."
"All you do is hinder me."
"The one who is in the way is you," Feng Jueqing retorted coldly.
The two alternated between ferocious and rapid attacks, simultaneously launching at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi remained calm and blocked each attack.
Up to now, he still hadn't activated the "Ice Pattern."
Merely using the Blizzard Sword and employing Martial Arts Power, he could easily deal with them.
Although his Cultivation was not as high as theirs, nor was his Martial Arts Power as plentiful,
The power of the Domineering Sword Technique's Martial Arts Power surpassed the Martial Arts Power cultivated by the two of them.
He even had the leisure to glance at Lin Qing'er in the distance.
Numerous were the teams on the Martial Arts Arena, both main and auxiliary,
But those truly worth his attention were only the three main teams: Dugu Kuang, Lin Qing'er, and Feng Jueqing's teams.
These three were the most powerful participants in the East Sea Festival.
Also, they were the three most renowned in various kingdoms and Martial Arts Holy Lands across the continent.
Far more outstanding than the likes of Bing Wujiang and Wan Zuolang.
All three had Half-step Earth Extreme Cultivation.
Xiao Yi even believed that within 10 years, these three would definitely step into the Earth Extreme Realm.
At their current ages, ten years later, they would only be in their early thirties.
Such talent was indeed extraordinary.
However, Lin Qing'er had yet to make a move.
Dugu Kuang and Feng Jueqing, the two of them, fought with increasing ferocity.
Gradually, they started to unleash their full strength.
A Martial Soul Illusion suddenly appeared on Dugu Kuang's body.
It was the illusion of a lion-type Martial Soul.
The illusion, it became increasingly corporeal.
In the head and eyes of the illusion, there emanated a domineering aura incomparable to any other.
No, to be more precise, it was an aura of kingship.
"Eight Extremes Mad Lion," Xiao Yi recognized the appearance of the Martial Soul, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
Since joining the East Sea Festival, it was the first time he had shown such a shocked expression.
The Eight Extremes Mad Lion, a demon beast of legend, ranked at the Level 8 Peak.
One of the most infamously ferocious demon beasts recorded in the archives of the Demon Hunting Hall.
At this moment, the Martial Soul Illusion emitted a faint purple radiance.
Indeed, as a Martial Soul, it was a light purple Martial Soul.
Dugu Kuang's aura soared instantaneously to the Initial Stage of the Extreme Realm Third Layer.
Meanwhile, Feng Jueqing also burst forth with a surge of wind pressure.
The "Absolute Wind Sword," a High-Grade Primordial Artifact, directly fused into his being.
"So that's how it is," Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, "your Martial Soul was the Absolute Wind Sword all along."
Feng Jueqing's Martial Soul was the Absolute Wind Sword itself.
By condensing the Martial Soul Illusion, he could make the High-Grade Primordial Artifact Absolute Wind Sword one hundred percent his to command.
Feng Jueqing's combat power also soared to the Early Stage of the Extreme Realm Third Layer.
Truly, they were the three most formidable Heavenly Talents of this East Sea Festival.
Just in terms of combat power, they were far stronger than the likes of Bing Wujiang and Wan Zuolang, who were at the Extreme Realm Second Layer Combat Power.
Boom... A ferocious punch from Dugu Kuang thundered directly towards him.
Swoosh... Feng Jueqing, with his incredible speed, sent a sharp thrust of his sword.
Xiao Yi frowned and forcefully slashed down with the Blizzard Sword.
It parried Feng Jueqing's sword but was pushed back several steps by the force of Dugu Kuang's punch.
"Roar." Just at that moment, Dugu Kuang let out a thunderous roar.
Dugu Kuang's aura surged once more.
"Berserk?" Xiao Yi's expression tightened slightly.
...
The first update.
