Shao Yunrong had displayed the sword spirit that every swordsman dreamed of, which was one in a million, and it had already shocked everyone present. However, no one had expected that Xiao Han would not let Shao Yunrong have her way. Instead, a sword spirit that could destroy everything rushed out of his body.
The saber intent was merciless while the sword intent was unparalleled!
The scene was breathtaking!
There were countless swordsmen and sabersmen in Beacon Fire Empire. However, those who could successfully comprehend the saber intent and sword intent were extremely rare.
But today, the clash between Xiao Han and Shao Yunrong was a fierce battle between saber intent and sword intent. It was rare even in the outer sect ranking competition or the inner sect competition!
At this moment, the hall was filled with saber light and sword intent. The saber intent and sword intent that could destroy the world could be released at any time.
The guests' robes fluttered even though there was no wind. Their hair and beards fluttered in fear. All of them crawled out of the hall as if they were walking on thin ice, afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire.
Soon, the spacious hall was empty except for Xiao Han and Shao Yunrong.
Shao Yunrong stood proudly with her sword in her hand.
Xiao Han walked with his saber, dominating the world.
"Friend … I didn't expect … you to have comprehended the saber intent … Another outstanding figure in Cloud Rain Sect's outer sect besides Xue Jianfeng. You're rarely matched under the True Qi Realm," Shao Yunrong was moved.
"Hahahahaha!"
Suddenly, Xiao Han laughed hysterically. His aura grew stronger and stronger. His confidence and dominance surged like a tide and soared into the sky.
"Hmm?" Shao Yunrong frowned slightly.
"Friend, why are you laughing?
Although you have the saber intent that can destroy everything, Yunrong has an unparalleled sword intent as well. We're evenly matched.
Yunrong can't say that she can defeat you for sure, but you can't defeat Yunrong either.
If there's a winner, I'm afraid it's going to be a mutual destruction! "
"What a good 'on par with each other'!"
Xiao Han's domineering expression rose. "I'm only at the Marrow Refinement Realm now. I haven't perfected my body yet and I still have potential. As for you, you've already started Blood Transformation. Your body has reached a bottleneck. Unless you break through to the True Qi Realm, you won't be able to improve anymore!
You're telling me we're neck and neck?
If I were to enter the Blood Transformation realm, killing you would be as easy as picking up grass! "
"Er …" Shao Yunrong was speechless at his words.
Yes, Xiao Han was several years younger than Shao Yunrong, and his realm was much lower than Shao Yunrong's.
The duel between Xiao Han and Shao Yunrong was a cross-level challenge.
It seemed to be a tie, but in fact, Xiao Han had already defeated Shao Yunrong. This was obvious and there was no need to argue.
"Friend, no matter what happens in the future, today, we are tied.
The saber heart of a bladesman had always been firm and sharp, sweeping through everything. A bladesman who comprehended saber intent would win every battle with an irresistible force, never admitting defeat.
But the truth was that his friend could not defeat Yun Rong.
Did he really have to fight to the death?
A lose-lose situation? "Shao Yunrong shook her head slightly.
"I can't defeat you?
I said it before, you will lose without a doubt! "Xiao Han said sternly.
The next moment, Xiao Han made a strange move.
Xiao Han didn't attack Shao Yunrong at all. He suddenly sat cross-legged, and his eyes seemed empty, as if he was thinking, but not thinking, as if he had suddenly entered a profound state of comprehension.
"Hmm?
What does this mean?
What is he comprehending? "Shao Yunrong was confused.
"Forget it … We are evenly matched. There is no need to continue this fight." Seeing Xiao Han's aura became more and more ethereal, and his breath was like grass and stone, unfathomable, Shao Yunrong had the idea of retreating.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she thought of this, before she could withdraw, Shao Yunrong felt that the saber intent was peeping at her. It seemed that once she made a move, the peerless saber intent that could break the void would give her a fatal blow.
"What trick is he playing at?"
Shao Yunrong frowned deeply, but she couldn't suddenly attack Xiao Han. Xiao Han's aura was mellow, and he was protected by the saber intent. He was impregnable. Once she attacked him rashly, she would definitely suffer a backlash.
She was in a dilemma.
"Forget it. Let's see what tricks he wants to play … I have the sword intent to protect my body, so I don't need to be afraid of him."
Shao Yunrong shook her head and smiled. She simply imitated Xiao Han, sat cross-legged, and quietly nurtured the sword intent.
The scene suddenly became strange, absurd, and bizarre.
Neither of the two geniuses took the initiative to attack. They both chose to sit cross-legged and became quiet.
This caused the onlookers who stuck their heads out of the hall to scratch their heads in confusion.
Thousands of people surrounded the hall and watched anxiously. They didn't leave, nor did they dare to step into the hall.
… …
"Senior Brother, what are they doing?" A young saber wielder from the Eight Point Hall asked the senior wielder.
"A young man has actually comprehended the Blade Intent of the Emperor of Blades. His talent is extraordinary and shocking … This kind of person would be favored and won over by our Eight Desolate Hall." The senior bladesman's voice trembled as he spoke with a frown after a long while.
"Don't ask me, I don't know either.
I am far from their level, so I don't dare to speculate. Perhaps this is a unique way of competing between geniuses who have comprehended the saber intent and the sword intent.
The only thing I can tell is that the two of them can't do anything to each other.
If they continued to fight, it would only result in mutual destruction and mutual destruction.
There is no other possibility. "
… …
In the hall.
At this moment, densely packed cocoons of light surrounded Xiao Han, flickering like shadows. It was a marvelous sight.
"The 21st to 30th movement of the Indestructible Golden Body exploded from the cocoon of light. After learning these 10 follow-up movements, my physical body's ability to resist attacks will increase once again. Under the True Qi Realm, I might even be invulnerable to all weapons and evils." Xiao Han focused on studying the supreme martial art cocoon of light that had shot out from his heart.
"The first form of the Seven Fragment Blade Technique has finally revealed itself. I have the chance to learn it.
'Jade Breaking Technique', what kind of move is this? "Xiao Han began to study the first form of the Seven Fragment Blade Technique, 'Jade Breaking Technique'.
After a while …
"Oh … I understand now. 'Jade Breaking Technique' allows me to casually slash out a saber aura. The saber aura can shatter at will like a rain of flowers, sweeping away an army and creating a river of blood.
Furthermore, the enemy can't defend against the sudden explosion of the saber aura. If they are caught off guard, they might be turned into dust by the saber aura fragments.
Powerful. Too powerful. "
Xiao Han understood the profoundness of this' Jade Breaking Technique 'and was ecstatic. However, he couldn't cultivate this profound and sharp saber move in a short period of time.
Xiao Han began to study the Son of Heaven's Divine Fist.
The third form of the Son of Heaven's Divine Fist … 'Imperial Expedition'
"Hmm?
The third form of the Son of Heaven's Divine Fist, 'Imperial Expedition', is actually a movement technique … "Xiao Han was stunned.
It should be known that among the martial arts that Xiao Han had mastered, there were fist arts, saber arts, passive defense body refining techniques, and the Withered Tree Collection. However, he had never learned a movement technique.
"This' Imperial Expedition 'is to instantly reach the limit of momentum and speed at the same time. It is so powerful that the surrounding air crawls. Moreover, it is not an agile movement technique, nor is it a movement technique that borrows strength. Instead … it is a domineering movement technique.
Using the great momentum of the Son of Heaven, forcefully shattering the air. In a breath's time, it will crush the enemy and kill them in an instant! "
"Good movement technique!
After learning this movement technique, my combat strength will more than double!
Moreover, I have learned the first two moves of the Son of Heaven's Divine Fist, Sovereign's Descent and Emperor's Robe. My understanding of the great momentum of the Son of Heaven is becoming more and more perfect. Learning the 'Imperial Expedition' will be a matter of course. It will be twice the result with half the effort!
I'll immediately comprehend this movement technique! "
Xiao Han began to silently visualize the diagram, incantation, and momentum of the 'Imperial Expedition' that had burst out from the cocoon of light.
Gradually, the air above Xiao Han's head began to fluctuate and slightly split in two directions like a river. It was a marvelous sight.
"Hmm?" Shao Yunrong looked up and her heart was slightly moved.
"What is he doing?
Could it be that he is learning some kind of martial arts technique?
But it is impossible.
How could he be sharpening his spear at the last minute?
If he can learn the ultimate move that can defeat me in this situation, the word 'genius' is not enough to describe him. He is simply a heaven-defying monster!
Impossible!
As long as I keep my sword heart and continue to grind with him, he will give up sooner or later. "
Two hours later …
Outside the hall.
None of the audience was willing to leave. They were all staring at Xiao Han and Shao Yunrong's every move in the silent hall without blinking.
"Mo … City Lord Mo … this is strange. Yunrong and that youngster have been sitting cross-legged for a few hours without moving at all. They are as steady as a mountain. Are they fighting?
Or are they competing with patience? "Shao Clan's Old Master Shao had a doubtful expression.
"This is too strange!"
"Old Master, I don't know about other things, but I can vaguely feel that the aura of that youngster from Cloud Rain Sect is getting stronger and stronger … Miss Yunrong, I am afraid … I hope I am wrong." The City Lord had a solemn expression.
…
"Yunfan, that … that friend of yours … actually comprehended the saber intent that can only be encountered by chance. He is truly a genius. Father and mother are proud of you for being able to make such a friend. It is a glory for you."
Ah Chou's father had a smile on his face. "Yunfan, no matter what, you have gained the limelight in this clan meeting and surpassed the first and second branches.
However, Yunrong's strong rise has also exceeded the entire Shao Clan's expectations. "
"Father, Mother, I didn't know that Xiao Han had already comprehended the saber intent. He has only cultivated the saber dao for less than half a year. This is … unbelievable!
Previously, when Xiao Han challenged Xue Jianfeng, I thought he was just doing it out of pride. Now, it seems that he is indeed qualified to compete for this generation's number one in Cloud Rain Sect's outer sect! "Ah Chou looked excited.
"Number one in Cloud Rain Sect's outer sect?
This child … this … this is too strong … "Ah Chou's mother was dazzled.
…
In the hall.
Six hours had already passed.
At this moment, Xiao Han's aura was getting stronger and stronger.
Above Xiao Han's head, the air was rolling and rolling like waves, bursting out with the sound of tides. It was like a surging turbid wave, separating to the left and right.
"His aura is getting stronger and stronger … I can't … I can't let him continue like this …" Shao Yunrong's sword heart trembled slightly, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.
"Enough, friend. Don't be deliberately mystifying.
Yunrong is going to leave the hall now. "Shao Yunrong was prepared to fight against Xiao Han's saber intent to escape immediately.
At this moment …
"Hahahaha ~ ~ ~ ~" Xiao Han finally opened his eyes. In his pitch-black eyes, a gleam of brilliance flashed past. His domineering intent swept across, swallowing the mountains and rivers.
Xiao Han stood up.
His back was straight, with the aura of reaching the sky.
"You've lost." Xiao Han smiled faintly, and his wild confidence spread out.
"Friend, don't be so full of yourself. With your current battle strength, you can't defeat Yunrong no matter what!" Shao Yunrong said with slight anger.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn?
Can you be a little gentlemanly? "
"Stubborn?
If I say I want you to lose, you lose! "
Suddenly, Xiao Han roared violently, and all the bones in his body exploded together. With a Bone Explosion Style, the candlelight in the hall swayed and the wind howled!
At the next moment …
"Boom!"
A domineering aura swept out from Xiao Han's body violently. The air in all directions suddenly crept apart, rolled and rolled, and retreated in all directions!
Xiao Han's entire body turned into a mighty afterimage, forcefully crushing the air and pressing towards Shao Yunrong!
His momentum was like a lightning strike, disdainful of the world, and unrestrained.
At the same time, a carriage pulled by a True Dragon appeared above Xiao Han's head. It was the peerless phantom of an emperor on a journey!
"What?!"
Shao Yunrong's beautiful face turned pale. The air in all directions was strangely divided into two. The rolling air brought her a sense of powerlessness, as if she was facing the attack of thousands of troops alone!
"Swoosh ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" In a flash, a wisp of air turned into the shape of a sword, and directly cut towards Xiao Han at a speed faster than the speed of sound!
However …
"Boom!"
This wisp of Sword Essence forcibly cut the place where Xiao Han stood, and a gully of 15 zhang long and several feet wide appeared. Dust and smoke billowed.
But!
Xiao Han had already crushed the air, and with a speed faster than this wisp of Sword Essence, he forcibly swept to the front of Shao Yunrong!
Between life and death, when Shao Yunrong was about to release the second wisp of Sword Essence, she felt a coldness on her neck. The coldness entered her body, and she had a terrible feeling as if her body was being cut by the saber Qi.
"Your Sword Essence is still a little too slow. You've lost." Xiao Han held the saber in his right hand, and the edge of the saber was already on Shao Yunrong's neck!
"I …" Shao Yunrong's entire body's hair stood on end. She knew that she had indeed lost. Even if she possessed the Sword Essence that surpassed the speed of sound, shapeless and formless, and could cut through nothingness, at this moment, she had still lost. There was no room for a comeback.
Xiao Han, who possessed Saber Essence, could kill Shao Yunrong with one slash before the Sword Essence could protect him!
"I … I've lost …" Shao Yunrong said with a bitter smile.
"Friend … you … you are indeed … indeed a heaven defying genius. Yunrong is not your match.
It can even be said that under the True Qi Realm, it is already very difficult to find an opponent who can defeat you. "
Suddenly, Shao Yunrong looked deeply at Xiao Han, and an undetectable hint of charm flashed across her eyes as she said in a soft voice.
"Yunrong has lost. Friend, can you put away your saber?
Friend, don't be so overbearing towards Yunrong, okay?
She is a girl after all.
Can you be a little gentlemanly? "
… …
Outside the hall.
"Ah?
Miss Yunrong has lost?
How … how is this possible?
Miss Yunrong is a peerless beauty who has comprehended the Sword Essence!
How did she lose in an instant? "
"That brat sneak attacked Miss Yunrong!"
"It's not a sneak attack, it's just that his movement technique is too fast.
Moreover, his movement technique is tyrannical and can cut through the air, ignoring all obstructions. It's like ten thousand galloping horses, unparalleled … Miss Yunrong's defeat is not unjust, she just lost in the hands of someone stronger than her. "
… …
A few Mingjian Villa disciples.
"How … how is this possible?
Yunrong is one of the top existences in our Mingjian Villa's outer sect. How could she lose in the hands of a brat who is still wet behind the ears … "The white-clothed swordsman's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
"Senior Brother Bai, it seems … seems like Senior Sister Yunrong admitted defeat herself." The red-clothed girl said with a sharp voice.
"It can't be?
Senior Sister Yunrong once made a vow that she will marry any man who can defeat her in the Physical Body Realm … This time … there will be a good show to watch. "
"Damn it!" The white-clothed swordsman was flustered and exasperated.
… …
A group of people from Eight Desolate Palace.
The veteran swordsman closed his eyes slightly.
"Powerful … too powerful … This person is invincible in the Physical Body Realm!
Alright, let's return to Eight Desolate Palace.
Participating in the Shao Clan's Meeting this time has also brought us great benefits. We have learned that there is always someone better than us.
Go back and cultivate properly. Don't be arrogant in the future.
Otherwise, you won't even know how you died. "
"Senior Brother, this can't be true, right?
Sharpening your spear at the last minute can defeat an expert who has comprehended the Sword Essence.
Isn't this too surreal? "
