Chapter 815: Chapter 818: Display of the Spirit Sword Technique
On the silent grounds, all martial artists fixated their gaze on the three figures in the arena.
Fight, fight with reckless abandon.
Swift, so swift it defies the eye.
Han Fei’s palms surged with energy, relentlessly aiming for Xia Liu’s upper route.
Yan Zhu’s feet radiated Flowing Flame Power.
With every step he took, the stone slabs beneath left charred marks.
The two Path-Entering martial artists attacked without restraint.
Yet, they failed to gain even a sliver of advantage.
Xia Liu’s palms moved like the wind, countering Han Fei’s Condensing Frost Palm—effortless!
His legs glided like a phantom, battling Yan Zhu’s Flowing Flame Power—impeccable!
With a resounding and muffled blast, Xia Liu, who took the brunt of Han Fei and Yan Zhu’s Extreme Moves, retreated dozens of meters back.
“Haha! Daoist Fellow Han, he’s reached his limit!”
For the first time, seeing Xia Liu retreat so far, Yan Zhu was ecstatic.
“Indeed! Let’s press on and give him no chance to catch his breath!”
Han Fei agreed with Yan Zhu’s statement; Xia Liu appeared to be at his breaking point!
Almost simultaneously, the pair unleashed their ultimate moves.
“Family Head, he may not hold on much longer. Aren’t you and Chief Chen planning to intervene?”
On another arena, watching Han Fei and Yan Zhu’s onslaught, Ye Ku showed concern for Xia Liu.
Though Ye Ku had never spoken to Xia Liu, the charisma Xia Liu displayed made him restless.
If a talent of this caliber were to fall here, it would be a tremendous loss for the Huaxia Warrior Realm and for the Western Province.
Looking at Ye Ku’s tense expression, Ye Hai and Chen Tian’en exchanged a knowing smile.
“I remember you, one of Ye Hu’s lineage.”
“Family Head, I’m unworthy of mention, but that young man is likely on the verge of a crisis.”
Ye Ku was becoming truly anxious; even at this moment, Ye Hai was casually recognizing him.
“Have you heard of one thing recently, the newly appointed Heavenly Mansion Chief?”
Ye Hai, displaying no signs of urgency, asked in a calm tone.
Ye Ku thought carefully before replying quickly, “I recall hearing rumors—the newly appointed Heavenly Mansion Chief is extremely young. During the assessment, he engaged in a battle with the Liu Family’s Path-Entering High-Level patriarch and emerged victorious, then he fought against martial artists from the Zhong Family and Zhao Family without tasting defeat.”
Suddenly, Ye Ku’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the lone and slender figure on the arena.
“Could he be the new Heavenly Mansion Chief?”
“Indeed, whether Yan Zhu and his Daoist Fellow can even touch Chief Xia’s hem remains uncertain.”
Ye Hai smiled faintly; if not for Xia Liu’s understated demeanor, the Huaxia Warrior Realm would have long been shaken to its core multiple times.
Ye Ku was utterly dumbfounded.
Xia Liu turned out to be the newly appointed Heavenly Mansion Chief, the youth who had become a legend!
Although many had heard of the Heavenly Mansion Chief’s feats of assessment, few had seen him in person.
Ye Ku couldn’t help but smile wryly; the legendary figure had always been right before him, yet he failed to recognize him.
For someone of this caliber, was there even a need to worry?
It was better to watch the battle in peace instead.
On the arena, extreme cold and flame power surged continuously from Han Fei and Yan Zhu.
Such auras brought immense pressure to the surrounding martial artists.
Especially Ye Meng and Peng Hai—they, without the protection of Path-Entering martial artists, had no choice but to back away.
The lingering aura in the air created an illusion for them, as if stepping further in would render them powerless to rise again.
Even at such a distance from Yan Zhu and Han Fei, the overwhelming pressure they felt made it unimaginable how much Xia Liu, directly opposite them, was bearing.
Even those seated among the spectators experienced suffocating oppression that caused their hearts to race.
“Path-Entering martial artists are truly terrifying!”
“This battle is truly fearsome, and the Osmanthus Sect’s Supreme Elder is equally frightening—he can hold his own against two Path-Entering martial artists!”
“I wonder if the Osmanthus Sect is still recruiting disciples. Joining such a sect would be the greatest fortune of a lifetime.”
“Ah, for a sect to produce such a young Path-Entering expert and even have young Heaven-Rank martial artists, the foundations of this sect are simply astonishingly deep.”
Hearing the surrounding voices praising the Osmanthus Sect, Qingzi’s smile grew even brighter.
Fortunately, she hadn’t missed the opportunity; otherwise, she wouldn’t even have tears left to cry.
“Look! The Osmanthus Sect’s Supreme Elder is moving!”
“Being able to withstand the ultimate moves of two Path-Entering martial artists is incredibly intimidating!”
“Quiet down and watch closely! Don’t miss anything!”
Seeing Xia Liu’s hands moving in the arena, all the spectators focused intensely.
The actions of a martial artist of this caliber required careful observation every instant.
Xia Liu’s hands moved as though plucking strings, transforming in countless ways, revolving Yin and Yang, deducing the Eight Trigrams.
In that instant, a bizarre aura spread from his body.
Before him, intangible yet visible, a strange and mysterious diagram began to take shape.
Facing that flickering diagram, Yan Zhu and Han Fei’s expressions grew solemn.
With Inner Origin enhanced, their Inner Strength pushed to its limits, Han Fei and Yan Zhu shouted in unison.
In that instant, Frost Freezing Power and Breath of Flame Flow merged and collided.
The two forces instantly slammed against the mysterious diagram.
Amidst the expanse, only the sounds of destruction echoed.
Xia Liu’s hands flung outward, sending the Heaven and Earth Map, brimming with annihilating energy, soaring into the sky.
At the same time, Xia Liu’s hands began forming seals at breathtaking speed.
Wave after wave of sharp energy spread from his body.
“This aura resembles the young man from earlier!”
“It’s an overwhelming sword qi!”
Han Fei and Yan Zhu’s pupils shrank intensely.
Before they could react, Xia Liu pointed to the void with his Sword Finger. “Golden Spirit Sword!”
Vast streams of spiritual energy poured forth, and from Xia Liu’s fingertip, an enormous golden phantom materialized.
The golden brilliance shone like the Flame Sun, blinding everyone.
When their eyes adjusted again, the audience saw a figure clad in green and red hues sent hurtling out of the arena like a broken kite.
Yan Zhu howled desperately.
Being closest to Han Fei, he could clearly see how the golden light had pierced straight through Han Fei’s defenses.
“Now it’s your turn.”
The impassive voice reverberated as Xia Liu’s hands formed seals once more, unleashing waves of formidable heat from his body.
Since Yan Zhu played with flames, Xia Liu would show him who truly mastered the Essence of Fire!
Realizing the altered attribute of Xia Liu’s techniques, Yan Zhu instinctively unleashed all his Inner Strength.
Through the metamorphosis of his cultivation technique, Yan Zhu’s Inner Strength transformed into a terrifying Flame Flow that enshrouded him entirely.
“Hmph! Fire Spirit Sword!”
Xia Liu pointed into the void once more.
This time, everyone distinctly saw a massive Void Sword forming before hurtling toward Yan Zhu at a speed beyond visual capture.
Fire Spirit and Flame Flow clashed, sending embers scattering across the air.
Yet, the Fire Spirit Sword quickly pierced through the layers of Flame Flow, striking directly at Yan Zhu within…
