"Overestimating yourself."
Seeing the change rising from Ye Xuan, Qiu Xing merely scoffed with contempt. A mere Three-star Commander, could he possibly overturn the skies in front of the Lord of Thunder City?
"Defying authority, a capital offense."
Lei Qianzhang sneered mockingly, but his eyes were rather sinister. Then, with a grasp of his large hand, it was clear that the radiant True Yuan gathered like a tide in the sky. In just a few breaths, it transformed into a massive, dazzling Light Feather. The edges of the feather were jagged. The brilliance continued to flow, causing even the space to tremble.
This feather appeared to be a feather of Kunpeng, filled with astonishing thunder and lightning. With a flick of a finger, the dazzling and dangerous lightning Light Feather burst forth with a howl, piercing the void in a flash, shooting violently towards Ye Xuan.
Seeing such an offensive, the faces of many soldiers changed drastically. Lei Qianzhang, as the City Lord of Thunder City and a Five-star Commander, undoubtedly possessed strength far beyond what Ye Xuan could withstand.
Though they were furious, they also had a premonition that the key might not be saved.
Seeing Lei Qianzhang launch his attack, Ye Xuan snorted coldly in his heart. He stomped heavily, and as the platform trembled, brilliant blue light swept out. Sword spikes, half-transparent, rose from within his body.
Sword Qi sprouted from Ye Xuan’s body like bamboo shoots after the rain, overlapping and combining to form a heavy armor.
Sword light soared, and in the blink of an eye reached an astonishing quantity of two hundred. With Ye Xuan’s current enhancement in strength, the Heavenly Sword Armor had also progressed, being able to generate a vast number of Sword Qi, reaching two hundred in all.
Facing a formidable opponent like Lei Qianzhang, whose strength far surpassed the likes of Qiu Xing and Luo Zhi, Ye Xuan clearly couldn’t afford the slightest disregard. After all, irrespective of everything, the cultivation of the former far exceeded his. To contend with him, he could only exert every bit of effort.
In this Ancient World, the space couldn’t remain still, which considerably restricted Ye Xuan’s means.
Earlier, when slaying Yuxiaozi, it was with much assistance that he could accomplish it. Now, Ye Xuan could only rely on his own strength.
The two hundred Sword Qi armors roared, and Ye Xuan made no superfluous moves, stepping forward, throwing a punch. There was no embellishment in his punch, containing only the terrifying strength capable of easily destroying a mountain.
The air all across was blasted open under such terrifying force. Ye Xuan’s Breaking Sky Sword Armor shimmered incessantly. The dense, magnificent Sword Qi tore the sky apart, directly and fiercely colliding with the fierce, exceptionally dazzling Thunder Feather.
A tremendous sound of explosion resonated, with the powerful shockwave sweeping away, like stirring up a storm between heaven and earth. The ground below was forcibly scraped of its layers.
Countless eyes were cast, filled with gravity in their sight. Such a clash was truly astonishing.
"Returning courtesy, take it back!"
The dazzling brilliance enveloping the ground gradually faded. Ye Xuan, enveloped in Sword Qi, slowly reappeared. Staring at Lei Qianzhang ahead, he chuckled coldly, then fiercely thrust a sword onto the ground, embedding it directly.
A massive crack, like a giant python, extended outwards, immediately reaching beneath Lei Qianzhang’s feet. Then, the blue light spewed like a volcano, slicing through the sky towards Lei Qianzhang’s face with a Sword Qi.
"This gift is too light." Lei Qianzhang’s eyes turned icy. Without any visible action, a dazzling shockwave erupted from within him, shattering the thousand-foot Sword Qi into fragments. A Fifth Grade Martial Saint’s power was indeed extraordinary. Even with Ye Xuan’s current prowess, his fierce offensive was still easily dispelled by the latter.
Yet, just as the massive Sword Qi was obliterated, a phantom-like figure appeared before Lei Qianzhang. Then a thunderous sound echoed, and the Rain Saint Sword, gleaming coldly, thrust towards Lei Qianzhang’s throat with an extremely vicious posture.
However, faced with such swift attacks, Lei Qianzhang only snorted coldly. A finger pointing out, a dazzling radiance spread, forming a Thunder Feather that directly and forcibly blocked the thrusting Sword Qi.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
With his offensive thwarted, Ye Xuan’s figure flickered, transforming into numerous shadows. Then, as sword shadows danced, a fierce spear shadow, capable of slaying any Third Grade Martial Saint expert, enveloped all Lei Qianzhang’s vital points.
Crisp sounds continuously rang on the platform. The crowd could only barely see a blurred figure swirling around Lei Qianzhang like a whirlwind. Countless fierce sword shadows thrust out, but whenever these attacks were about to touch Lei Qianzhang’s body, dazzling Light Feathers would materialize and block them.
One person’s offensive was like a storm, endless and relentless. Another stood as steady as a mountain, unmoving, causing all attacks to dissolve into void.
"Is that the extent of your attacks? Unable to break through my defense, yet you dare challenge me?" Lei Qianzhang gazed at the shadows with intensified mockery on his face.
To his ridicule, Ye Xuan seemed to pay no heed. His offense grew fiercer, but unnoticed by all, as Ye Xuan’s focus intensified, a Dragon Shadow continuously solidified around him. Like a phantom of the Dragon King, it rapidly expanded behind Ye Xuan.
Another crisp sound, as Lei Qianzhang extended two fingers, directly capturing the sword tip. His fingertips flickered with dazzling brilliance, causing the long sword to be immobile.
"An overconfident fool." Lei Qianzhang controlled the Rain Saint Sword, his gaze coldly laughing at the figure on the other side of the sword tip. As he looked, he saw a pair of deep black eyes in the latter, seemingly able to peer into the soul. Unknowingly, a purple-golden luster surged up in these eyes, chill with a tinge that slightly startled him.
A violent thunder and lightning force abruptly exploded from Lei Qianzhang’s body. At his dantian, a thunder sphere suddenly appeared, and an extremely terrifying force ravaged out along his arm, transmitted through the Rain Saint Sword’s blade.
This destructive force, if it tainted someone’s body, would undoubtedly cause horrifying damage.
The rampaging terrifying thunder and lightning spread over. Ye Xuan’s eyes shrunk sharply, purple-golden brilliance burst forth from his eyes. In the depth of those pupils, endless void, sun and moon, stars, black hole vortexes, chaos birth, universe collapse seemed to unfold. Then, an astonishing pressure erupted from him, causing cracks to appear on the ground beneath him.
"Idiot, as if such a force could be stopped by just saying so."
Qiu Xing’s eyes were full of ridicule. To him, Ye Xuan was no different from an idiot. Such power, could it cease just because you said so?
