The veins on War Venerate Serene Wind's arms bulged like vipers slithering through them. It was clear that he was holding back his breath. Even his face had turned purple.
But because of this, a huge wave suddenly rose from his palms. Even the air around him began to flow. The Blue Dragon engraved blade flickered with a blue halo.
"Huff, huff, huff!"
He took a few deep breaths before sneering at Qin Shi, "Brat, you're the one who forced me to use my full strength. I've already cultivated the Heavenly Ape Arms to the peak of the ninth level. It's comparable to the strength of a true savage. If this saber cleaves down, everything within a ten-mile radius will be leveled to the ground!"
As he finished speaking, he suddenly raised the giant blade and pointed it towards the sky. A giant shadow that was thousands of feet long appeared and chopped down with force.
Rumble!
That huge power even cut through space. It formed a blazing blade-light that slashed down on Qin Shi's forehead.
Seeing this scene, tens of thousands of people were stunned. Hua Ling's beautiful eyes narrowed and her beautiful face turned pale. With her strength of the Five Heavens Realm, although she couldn't compare to War Sage Serene Wind and other supreme experts in the Hundred Tides, she was still at the top of the pyramid. At this time, she was still tens of thousands of meters away from the sword light. Even so, she could still feel the dangerous aura from the sword light.
"Qin Shi!" She couldn't help but shout. She got up and was about to rush forward.
However, just as her beautiful steps created ripples in the air and her delicate body had yet to move, she suddenly felt a scorching gaze staring at her from the sky. The source of that gaze was Qin Shi.
"Don't forget what I told you!"
Qin Shi's voice was very light, but it was very heavy. Only then did Hua Ling tremble violently and suddenly stop moving.
That's right, Qin Shi had told her not to do anything no matter what.
"Don't let anything happen to you. If something happens to you, I will save you even if I have to sacrifice my life. You can't let Luosha down." Hua Ling murmured, but she still stopped moving.
Seeing that Hua Ling had stopped, Qin Shi sighed in relief. He raised his head and looked at the blade-light. He seemed to be able to see War Sage You Feng's mocking face through the blade-light.
"Brat, aren't you fast? Aren't you good at dodging?
I'd like to see if you have the ability to dodge my saber this time! "
War Sage You Feng's mocking tone became more and more intense. However, not long after he finished speaking, he was stunned by Qin Shi's next move.
The corner of Qin Shi's mouth curled up slightly. He appeared to be content. Soon after, he smiled. He smiled naturally under the blade light. He held the Breaking Water Sword in one hand and held it horizontally in the air. "Who told you that I'm going to hide?
Who told you that I'm going to dodge? "
"Huh?" You Feng frowned. "Brat, don't tell me you want to take this attack head-on?"
Qin Shi shrugged. He didn't say anything. Instead, he simply responded to War Sage You Feng. He raised the Water Breaking Sword horizontally in front of his chest.
"Old dog, you aren't the only one with the power of a fierce beast."
His voice penetrated the sky and reverberated thousands of meters away. Then, he clenched his fists and spat out five words. "Fallen Star Hegemon Body Art!"
Suddenly, layers of golden scales grew on his skin, piercing through his flesh. In the hazy moonlight, the golden light was so dazzling that it was even a little dazzling.
Just like that, he stamped his feet and charged towards the blade-light. The Water Breaking Sword was like an omnipotent blade that sliced open a huge crack in space.
Bang!
When the two powers collided, the world seemed to go still. Everyone held their breaths and looked at the sky.
Rumble!
In an instant, everything within a five-kilometer radius collapsed. Countless mountains and rivers were pulverized in an instant. The huge aftershock shocked countless people. Even the Sacred Wind Empire's Great Protective Array was cracked. It was clear how powerful this attack was.
Hua Ling clenched her jade-like fingers tightly. Because she had used too much strength, even her joints had turned slightly white. She kept praying in her heart. "Nothing must happen to you. You must not …!"
"Look!"
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence. Everyone looked up with rapt attention. However, when their gazes pierced through the dust that filled the sky, they were all stunned.
Hua Ling's heart pounded wildly. Her jade-like face suddenly lit up with joy. "Qin Shi!"
Under everyone's gazes, a black figure that looked like a god of war stood firmly in the sky with a cyan blade in his hand. Wasn't this person Qin Shi?
Around him, the shadows of the swords and sabers disappeared like smoke, leaving nothing behind.
War Venerable Serene Wind's eyes widened. "Boy, how did you block it?"
Qin Shi's body was glowing with a golden light. He sneered at War Venerable Serene Wind. "I said that you're not the only one with the power of a wild beast. A monkey wants to call himself a king in front of a phoenix? Don't you think you're overestimating yourself?"
"Phoenix?" War Venerable Serene Wind's eyes widened. "You also cultivate a body-tempering martial art?
And it's a body-tempering martial art with the power of an ancient golden phoenix? "
Qin Shi laughed. "Haha, it seems that you know a lot."
"Sure enough!"
In an instant, War Venerable Serene Wind became solemn. He mainly cultivated the physical body and had a deep understanding of body-tempering martial arts. After hearing Qin Shi's words and considering Qin Shi's current situation, he understood everything at a glance. It was also because of this that he could no longer remain calm.
Dragons and phoenixes were the kings of all beasts. They were both well-known fierce beasts on the Ancient God List. This made him feel unprecedented pressure.
He gritted his teeth. "Then why did you have such a body-tempering martial art? Why were you forced to retreat at the beginning?"
Qin Shi sneered. "I already said that it was just my clone. If that wasn't the case, would you have taken it lightly?
How would I know anything about you? "
War Venerable Serene Wind glared at him angrily. "You've been testing me from the beginning?"
Qin Shi smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "What else can I do? I think that if I was really that inferior and was killed by a few of your brute force attacks, I wouldn't be worthy of reaching this stage today, right?"
War Venerable Serene Wind was speechless. He glared at Qin Shi for a long time before he gradually calmed down. Although he was famous for his martial arts, he was still at the peak of the Eight Heavens. He was an Almighty who had a place in the Hundred Tides, so his mind was not too simple.
"Young man, I admit that I have underestimated you. In the Hundred Tide Region, the only person who can block my attack is the emperor of the Holy Wind Empire. But you did it too. Indeed, the emperor has listed you as the most fearful opponent in the Hundred Tide Region."
He said coldly, but then his eyes became ruthless. "However, even if you are a phoenix, you are only a fledgling while I am an adult divine ape. Today, you must die here!
It just so happens that I am very interested in your body-tempering martial art. After I kill you, it will be mine! "
"You want my martial art?
If you have the ability, then come and take it! "Qin Shi said sternly.
"Alright!
Then I won't be polite! "
War Venerate Serene Wind was also direct. This was a common problem among martial artists. They wouldn't feel shameful about their defeat. Instead, they would become even more spirited. They raised their giant sabers and chopped down at Qin Shi.
As soon as the saber light appeared, Qin Shi's mind tensed up. His soul power spread out to his left and right, allowing him to see through every inch of the wind and every blade of grass.
Bang, bang, bang!
After one collision, 100 sword lights appeared. The two of them immediately wrestled with each other. This caused the spectators in the distance to become sluggish.
The confrontation between the two of them was very violent. It was a simple head-on clash of brute force. However, this kind of confrontation was also the most hot-blooded. Every time it happened, it would cause a huge commotion.
"What a powerful strength."
"Is this a confrontation between experts?"
"Yes, that kid's ability is really strong. War Venerable Serene Wind's power is in the Sacred Wind. Even an Emperor would have to give in to him. Yet, this kid is able to face him head-on and remain undefeated."
This confrontation made everyone forget where they stood. Of course, this wasn't something they could intervene in. The constant collisions in the sky made it seem as if a divine ape and a phoenix were clashing.
This was a confrontation between experts.
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
Sparks kept sputtering in the sky. The huge Blue Dragon Saber and the Broken Water Sword rubbed against each other, nearly destroying half of the world.
After a few collisions, Qin Shi's body flashed back, his expression no longer relaxed.
To be honest, War Venerable Serene Wind's strength had already reached the limit of what he could handle. He was also the strongest person he had fought with his own strength.
Back in the Chaotic Realm, when he had fought against the apex and Domain Realm Almighties, he had relied on Yuwen Shang, Yakushi, Kong Hyun-hui, and the help of the Evil Demons. His own strength had only been able to defeat the early-stage eight-celestial Sikong Lingnan at best.
This time, he still felt a lot of pressure fighting against a peak eight-celestial Almighty.
Furthermore, he had been able to block War Venerable Serene Wind's saber mainly because he had deliberately used a clone to lure War Venerable Serene Wind, causing War Venerable Serene Wind to underestimate him. Now that they were facing each other head-on, he still felt a lot of pressure.
"Kid, have a taste of my move!"
War Venerable Serene Wind slashed his saber across his waist and split it into 3,000 blade-lights. "Three Thousand Flood Dragon Blades!"
Qin Shi abruptly regained his senses and his black eyes turned solemn. He placed the Breaking Water Sword on his back and extended his other hand. Three different colored will-o '-the-wisps ignited, "Three Souls Stabilizing the Universe!"
Boom!
The Sky Supporting Pillar and the 3,000 blade-lights exploded, forming a huge halo.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sky exploded, causing fluctuations that left countless people dazed. At this critical moment, Qin Shi's body moved like a ghost. He circled behind War Venerable Serene Wind and clasped his hands together. "Great Relic Art!"
"Kid, you want to sneak attack me?
It won't be that easy! "
