Chapter 597: Consecutive Victories
In the sky, Cao Youqian and Yi Xi stood confronting each other from a distance.
On their bodies, no wounds could be seen at all. However, their Dharma Manifestations, manifested from their Great Dao True Meaning, were covered in cracks.
In the exchange just now, the two were evenly matched.
Cao Youqian scraped his nose with his thumb and smiled. He said: "Enjoyable, very enjoyable. No wonder you have the courage to challenge my Senior Brother; you indeed possess a tiny bit of strength. But if this is all the ability you have, you are completely unqualified to fight my Senior Brother."
In the eyes of Holy Son Yi Xi, a fanatical color also surfaced. He spoke: "The Unmatched Domineering Fist is indeed extraordinary. You are qualified to witness my sword."
"Oh."
Cao Youqian immediately became interested: "Then I shall see exactly how strong your sword is."
"As you wish."
As Holy Son Yi Xi spoke, he slowly raised the precious sword in his hand. His speed in raising the sword was not fast, but as he raised the sword above his head, the aura on his body also climbed to the extreme point. His pressure was even greater than before.
"Destroy the World!"
Holy Son Yi Xi spoke and the sword fell.
Boom...
The moment that sword fell, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The entire Nine Tripods Secret Realm shook again.
That sword carried the might of destroying the world. Wherever the sword edge reached, everything in the world turned to nothingness.
"Unmatched!!!"
Cao Youqian shouted loudly and then threw out both fists. One saw one black and one white fist energy breaking through the air and appearing.
The two fists represented the fist of Ultimate Yin and the fist of Ultimate Yang respectively. The two fists converged in mid-air and finally turned into a single fist.
That fist seemed sparse and ordinary, very plain. However, the onlookers sensed a supreme Great Dao True Meaning on that fist.
This fist seemed to gather the essence of all fist techniques under heaven. No, it should be said that all fist techniques in the world evolved from this fist.
What kind of fist technique is this exactly?
As everyone pondered, one sword and one fist collided in the sky. Rumble! Accompanied by a loud noise, a mushroom cloud spread out in the sky, swallowing the two figures in the sky.
At the same time the explosion sound ended, the phenomenon that appeared earlier also dissipated. Only endless smoke and dust remained shrouding the sky.
Whoosh...
A gust of wind blew past. The smoke and dust scattered, and two figures appeared in the sky before everyone again.
Cao Youqian was still standing in place unscathed. One could not tell at all that he had just gone through a fierce battle.
In contrast, Holy Son Yi Xi, who was confronting him, appeared especially miserable. The mask on his face was shattered by half, revealing half of his hideous face. A trace of fresh blood also overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his figure began to shake uncontrollably.
Even so, Holy Son Yi Xi still used his sword to prop himself up in mid-air, refusing to let himself fall.
Whoosh...
Another gust of wind blew past. Holy Son Yi Xi staggered and was almost blown down by the wind, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
He slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked: "Dao friend, what Emperor Technique is this fist of yours?"
Cao Youqian smiled and said: "This is not any Emperor Technique, but the Unmatched Fist I comprehended after listening to my Master's lectures for decades. No one under heaven can compare with this fist of mine."
"What an Unmatched Fist indeed. Yi Xi is defeated convincingly. It is a pity I cannot see the elegance of the Invincible Sword."
After Yi Xi finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared from his original spot.
Cao Youqian cupped his hands slightly towards his receding back. He still had some respect for such a strong expert. But the next second, a proud smile appeared on his face again: "Next."
Hiss...
The people present heard these words and all gasped in unison.
The current Cao Youqian could no longer be described as just strong. Having exchanged moves with two Holy Son-level Heavenly Prides consecutively and still being able to fight again, this level of strength could only be described as a monster.
The Heavenly Prides of the other seven Holy Lands also hesitated. The strength displayed by Holy Son Yi Xi was not weaker than theirs at all, perhaps even a bit stronger than them.
They truly had no confidence in taking down Cao Youqian. If the Heavenly Prides of the Nine Great Holy Lands were all defeated by Cao Youqian alone, then they would lose all face.
Just as the cultivators of the various Holy Lands were struggling with whether to make a move, a figure came stepping through the air.
As soon as the newcomer appeared, an excited smile emerged on Cao Youqian's face: "Report your name quickly. This Holy Son does not fight with nameless people."
"Wuming."
The newcomer slowly uttered two words.
"Are you the Heavenly Pride Wuming invited by the Divine Sword Holy Land from Heaven Continent?"
Cao Youqian heard the other's name and began to size him up seriously.
This fellow with an ordinary appearance before him showed no outstanding points at all. He was the type that couldn't be recognized even if thrown into a crowd.
There was also no unique aura of a Sword Cultivator on him. The first impression he gave was that of a passerby.
"It is, and it is not."
Wuming paused for a moment, then continued to explain: "After a friend of mine returned from training in Sword Continent, he said that Xiao Chen is the number one sword under the Great Sage. So I decided to come and witness the Invincible Sword Xiao Chen, to see who is truly invincible."
"That friend of yours wouldn't happen to be yourself, would it?"
Cao Youqian asked subconsciously.
Wuming slowly raised the sword in his hand: "I never lie."
"If it's not, then it's not. Why get so excited? It's still the same old saying: if you want to fight my Senior Brother, pass my test first." Cao Youqian said lazily.
"Good."
After Wuming finished speaking, he slowly pulled out the precious sword in his hand.
The moment he drew his sword, the aura on his entire body underwent an earth-shaking change.
He, who originally looked ordinary, was at this moment in the eyes of the world like an incomparably sharp precious sword standing tall in the firmament.
Human and Sword as One!
Everyone just took one look at Wuming, and four words flashed through their minds.
Wuming did not deliberately release his pressure. Just by standing there holding the sword, he made the Sword Hearts of countless Sword Cultivators unsteady, let alone drawing a sword to fight him.
The older generation of cultivators gazed at this remarkable young man and could not help sighing with emotion.
"This young man is truly extraordinary. No wonder he dares to challenge Holy Son Xiao."
"I also wonder if he can take down Holy Son Cao."
"..."
In the camp of the Asking Dao Academy, Xiao Chen looked at Wuming. His hand suddenly felt itchy, and a thought arose in him to make a move and fight.
This small movement naturally could not escape Chu Feng's eyes. He smiled and teased: "You brat, can't hold it in anymore, can you?"
Xiao Chen nodded: "Indeed. Finally, a watchable opponent has come. I want to see the other party's sword technique."
Chu Feng smiled and said: "Xiao Chen, isn't it good to let Da Qian test him out for you? Observing sword techniques does not necessarily require you to make a move yourself. On the contrary, your sword is too strong, so the other party might not be able to display their most exquisite parts."
Hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared on Xiao Chen's face. Soon after, he smiled and said: "Thank you for your guidance, Master."
In the sky, Cao Youqian saw Wuming's change and his eyes immediately lit up. The smile on his face became playful: "You are very extraordinary. Among peers, I have only seen this kind of Sword Cultivator style on my Senior Brother."
"Make your move."
Wuming did not respond to Cao Youqian, only slowly uttering three words.
"Good."
After Cao Youqian finished speaking, the momentum on his body surged. A great battle was about to break out...
