"Heavenly Origin Artifact?"
Huoo Gang’s eyes immediately narrowed upon seeing the aura emitting from the Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword.
Ever since the last time Mon Tianran had unlocked the seal on the Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword under special circumstances, the sword had completely broken through the category of Earth Origin Artifacts and became a Heavenly Origin Artifact.
The crowd beneath the arena all wore expressions of amazement.
Heavenly Origin Artifacts were truly precious.
Take Mon Tianran, for example.
Merely by relying on the Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword, Mon Tianran could easily possess the power of Cross One Realm when facing other martial artists who did not possess a Heavenly Origin Artifact.
Adding to his original power of Cross Three Realms, at this moment, with Mon Tianran’s Earth Element Eighth Layer cultivation,
and the existence of Heavenly Origin Third Layer power, Mon Tianran could also contend against it.
This was the reason that Mon Tianran had just mentioned.
Huoo Gang and his companion wanting to regain their reputation from them was not an easy task.
"Excellent sword, I like it."
At this moment, Huoo Gang’s eyes greedily fastened onto the Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword in Mon Tianran’s hands.
He, too, was a Sword Practitioner.
Initially, Huoo Gang had merely wanted to cripple Mon Tianran and his companion, purely to reclaim some honor for the Flying Star Sect.
But now, Huoo Gang clearly coveted the Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword in Mon Tianran’s hands.
This made him increasingly excited.
"A good sword needs a worthy person to wield it."
"Otherwise, it’s just a senseless waste of a heavenly creation," Mon Tianran coldly said.
"You are absolutely right."
Huoo Gang said with a smile.
"A fine sword requires a suitable owner."
"And I, compared to you, am more fitting for that sword in your hands."
Huoo Gang’s gaze at Mon Tianran’s sword was fiery, as if he were looking at a naked beauty.
"You are not suitable."
"Nor can you control it."
"Because it belongs to me alone."
Mon Tianran shook his head and spoke.
In Huoo Gang’s eyes, the Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword was but a Heavenly Origin Artifact, but in Mon Tianran’s eyes, it was an Inheritance Sword.
It could only be controlled by him; no one else could take it from his hands.
This was his promise to the predecessor, Baoyu Heavenly Monarch.
"Whether it’s suitable or not can only be known after a trial."
"Xiaoyao, take action!"
Huoo Gang did not plan to waste more words, as he was eager to seize the Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword from Mon Tianran’s hands.
He unleashed his full combat power, reaching Heavenly Origin Third Layer, and a top-grade Earth Origin Sword appeared in his hand, slashing directly at Mon Tianran.
Hu Yanxuan also cast a lethal gaze toward Hua Ruoran.
"Ruoran, let us fight."
Seeing that Huoo Gang had already made his move, Mon Tianran also spoke to Hua Ruoran.
"Heavy Rain Covering the Sky!"
Mon Tianran unleashed his full combat power, and the Heavy Rain Sword Intent exploded to its extreme, with each fierce droplet resembling a sharp blade.
The power of Rainstorm Martial Intent was even drawn out between heaven and earth, making this move even more formidable and terrifying.
Seeing the commotion caused by Mon Tianran’s move, the intense greed on Huoo Gang’s face also unavoidably diminished.
Obviously, he had just realized that Mon Tianran’s strength was not the slightest bit inferior to his.
From Mon Tianran’s mouth came a coldly uttered word. Holding the Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword, carrying the fierce torrent of rain, he mercilessly brought the sword down.
Huoo Gang’s sword broke in response, with barely any delay.
Immediately, Huoo Gang’s body slammed into the arena’s Defensive Array, making a dull sound.
"How is that possible?!"
Seeing Huoo Gang being repelled by Mon Tianran with a single sword strike, even severing his Primordial Sword.
Within the ranks of the Flying Star Sect, Hua Run and Hu Yanhao both narrowed their eyes.
Especially Hua Run, who had anticipated enjoying this spectacle, his complexion turned extremely ugly in an instant.
Perhaps it was because of Qin Chen’s earlier actions, which lead them to think that Mon Tianran’s strength wasn’t that formidable.
So now, witnessing Mon Tianran repelling Huoo Gang delivered to them a shocking contrast.
Hua Ruoran’s weapons were hidden, just like Dao Xiaoyao’s.
Her hidden weapon was a leaf-like object, resembling the leaves of bamboo.
This leaf, called Iron Bamboo Leaf, was as hard as steel plates, not only sharp but also incredibly tough.
The Iron Bamboo Leaf was harvested from a special spiritual object known as Iron Bamboo.
Hardest as steel, sharp as a knife’s blade, these leaves were almost indestructible.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Hua Ruoran’s movements were extraordinarily mystical; pieces of Iron Bamboo Leaves attacked Hu Yanxuan from various angles.
Qin Chen saw very clearly, the places where Hua Ruoran’s Iron Bamboo Leaves targeted Hu Yanxuan were cunningly chosen, not randomly sent.
These Iron Bamboo Leaves had formed a sequential death trap.
If Hu Yanxuan dodged the first leaf, she would inevitably be hit by the second Iron Bamboo Leaf.
Similarly, if she miraculously evaded the second, she would be struck by the third Iron Bamboo Leaf.
In short, these leaves formed a chain of death traps.
Had it been Qin Chen, he would probably have easily dodged them.
Because he possessed the Little Void Breaking Technique.
But for Hu Yanxuan, Qin Chen was certain, at most, she could only dodge two Iron Bamboo Leaves.
Hu Yanxuan swung her sword, just as Qin Chen had predicted, directly repelling two Iron Bamboo Leaves.
The third Iron Bamboo Leaf still hit her body, slashing directly across her abdomen.
A smear of crimson blood flashed by her waist, her clothes were sliced open, revealing a bloody wound.
"You malicious woman!!"
Hu Yanxuan was already displeased due to jealousy of Hua Ruoran’s beauty.
Now being wounded directly by Hua Ruoran, she immediately flew into a rage and cursed out loud.
Hua Ruoran’s brows instantly furrowed.
What were they doing right now?
They were in a competition.
Isn’t getting hurt a normal event?
Moreover, before, Hu Yanxuan had come at her, clearly intending to take her life.
Really, who was more malicious?
"You can eat food carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly!"
It was Mon Tianran who spoke.
Hearing Hu Yanxuan talk about his beloved in such a manner, how could he sit idly by?
At that moment, Mon Tianran looked at Hu Yanxuan with eyes full of utter coldness.
But just then, Hu Yanxuan’s face suddenly contorted.
In her hand, a Talisman appeared abruptly.
It was a Talisman burning with the aura of flames.
"Disfigure me, you malicious woman!"
Hu Yanxuan screamed, ready to activate the Four-star Explosive Fire Sky Flame Talisman.
She intended to disfigure Hua Ruoran or even kill her!
