At the vicinity of the Ten Zhang Golden Sword, the atmosphere was peculiar.
Everyone had thought that Shi Xiaole had given up on this battle, but surprisingly, he tossed out such a statent. Before the crowd could recollect themselves, a gust mingled with both edge and speed had already started to violently diffuse in all directions like a cyan tide.
Above the cyan tide, Shi Xiaole stood aloft with his hands clasped behind him, his blue shirt fluttering, appearing like a god of the wind.
The Wind Extre Sword Technique, although a true intent sword technique, was ultimately Shi Xiaole’s brainchild. Whether in concept or in structure, it was rely of first-rate interdiate quality and far from comparable to first-rate superior martial arts.
The reason he was able to face the Dragon Slayer Swordsman on par was, besides his accomplished Dragon Gate Divine Skill and his extraordinary Vigorous Air, largely thanks to his Effortless Seeking Technique.
Unfortunately, the Effortless Seeking Technique does not aim for rit, but for the absence of error. It can only maintain an undefeated state to a certain degree but lacks a strong offensive strength.
In order to truly exert the power of the Wind Sword Way, Shi Xiaole had to rely on another superior first-grade martial art that he had secretly perfected – the Divine Wind Movent gifted by Nie Feng.
"Storm of the Martial World!"
His legs moved like the wind, and his body shot out as swift as the wind. The strength in Shi Xiaole’s kick stirred up an invisible gust, which fused with the cyan tide. A strange sight of water, fire, wind, and thunder erged, grand and matchless, directly targeting the Dragon Slayer Swordsman.
"Scram, Dragon Slayer’s Difficulty!"
With the hair on his back standing upright and sensing the enormous threat that this attack posed, the Dragon Slayer Swordsman gritted his teeth, channeling all his energy into action, and once again employed his most powerful killing move in his life.
A gigantic elliptical body stretched across the air, and at the slightest inward depression on the far right and the outward bulging on the far left, with a booming sound, it was pierced straight through by Shi Xiaole.
However, as a consequence of this, the power of his kick was drastically decreased, left with less than thirty percent.
"Stirring Wind and Clouds!"
Mid-air, Shi Xiaole’s montum increased again, his legs struck fiercely, the power within his legs surprisingly drew the forces of the wind and clouds from the heavens, all transford into boundless tides surging towards the Dragon Slayer Swordsman. In terms of montum and power, it was a notch higher than the Storm of the Martial World.
Clang!
This ti, the elliptical form didn’t even offer resistance, it was brutally penetrated right away. A beam of cyan light heavily smashed into the Dragon Slayer Swordsman, sending him flying almost a thousand ters. He tumbled uncontrollably, leaving a trail of fresh blood on the ground in an incredibly embarrassing manner.
"Argh..."
Spewing out another mouthful of blood, the Dragon Slayer Swordsman knelt on the ground half-crouched, his chest heaving violently. Thud, suddenly, the mask on his face shattered into pieces, revealing a face full of scars and twisted in resentnt.
"Kirin!"
At this mont, the Dragon Slayer Swordsman looked as if he were an embodint of negative emotions, just one look gave chills to many people.
He raised his head to look at Shi Xiaole in mid-air, the fingers clenching his sword turning bloodless.
Defeated. He, who had the backing of the Golden Sword Way, was actually defeated by Kirin who was ranked ten places below him. He intended to crush the opposition, but instead, beca the stepping stone for the other party.
He could well imagine, once the news of this battle gets out, it will definitely boost Kirin’s prestige, anwhile, he was bound to beco a laughing stock!
"Ha ha ha..."
The scarred face turned red, followed by his neck, hands, and legs. The Dragon Slayer Swordsman chuckled grimly. Amidst the explosive sound, puffs of blood exploded from his pores. With a blink, he sprinted tens of thousands of ters away, disappearing into a black spot.
His speed, was actually even faster than the Divine Wind Movent in that instance.
Shi Xiaole was slightly taken aback. Presumably, this secret technique can’t last long, and since the opponent didn’t have the confidence to defeat or even kill him within the effective ti fra, he chose to escape for his life.
"If thirty percent of the peak Wind Sword Way is combined with the perfect Divine Wind Movent, my attack power should reach the level of the dium Fourth Tier, equivalent to 260 years of practice."
Withdrawing his gaze, Shi Xiaole’s eyes fell on a certain spot, only to find that no one was there. Smiling, he turned and walked towards the Ten Zhang Golden Sword. This ti, no one spoke, even less tried to stop him.
"It seems I was overthinking all along."
Shock still lingered on Fu Dongchen’s face.
He always heard from others how powerful and terrifying Kirin was, and all of this was given a tangible realization today. He truly lived up to his reputation.
Kirin is unbeaten and unbeatable among his peers – this legend will continue to live on.
"He actually won?"
Mo Wan’s mouth dropped open. Even the several Ghost Guards beside her had not yet recovered from their previous shock. Even their boss had a stupefied look on her face. Mo Wan thought to herself, "If this man were to follow the Righteous Path, he would certainly beco a great enemy of the Devil’s Path in the future. But looking at him that day, he seed different than those on the Righteous Path."
Liu Xuantong and Sheng Xingzhi looked at each other, their auras conceal themselves.
Kirin truly did earn their respect, but with their abilities, they were at least 80% confident of defeating him. But they were not the Dragon Slayer Swordsman.
Oppressing a promising talent didn’t bring them any benefit. Even if they needed five Gold Stones, they would not rely on the thod of seizing by force.
"Liu Xuantong, I’ll be faster."
Leaving behind that sentence, Sheng Xingzhi dashed towards the distance and disappeared in an instant.
"Heh heh."
Liu Xuantong let out a faint smile as ripples of water spread around him, he then vanished from sight.
He had already acquired four Gold Stones, as long as he comprehended the last golden sword, he would still have the qualifications to reflect on the essence of the Golden Sword King’s Golden Sword Way.
Seeing this, the remaining swordsn also retracted their gazes, suppressed their feelings, and left in different directions.
Whether they could obtain the five Gold Stones or not, at least the comprehension of the golden sword was significantly beneficial to them. Their previous rush was only for a desire to find answers and see who would be the first to succeed.
"Damn it, damn it, how could he be so strong?"
On a hillside, a figure abruptly stopped, his face alternating rapidly between green and white – even faster than a chaleon, this was none other than Zhou Fengping.
Among the thirty-six people on the Earth Immortal’s list, perhaps just one rank apart, the strength seed similar, their wins and losses depending on their real-ti performance. A difference of five places constituted a significant gap, as for a gap of ten ranks, the difference was on an entirely different level, almost impossible to compete with.
However, under his own witness, the Kirin had managed to surpass those above him – this proved that the Kirin’s strength was at least at the sixteenth or seventeenth rank on the Earth Immortal’s list.
Fortunately, he had escaped fast enough!
In the central position of the Tri-pole Palace, three figures looked at each other and laughed. The stronger the Kirin’s performance, the more they anticipated, it seed that this public inheritance was the right decision.
...
As Shi Xiaole walked closer to the Ten Zhang Golden Sword, he could feel the murderous intent in the air intensifying in multiples with the closing distance.
Thanks to the five Gold Stones, the murderous intent instinctively avoided Shi Xiaole without causing him any impact.
At a distance of ten Zhang from the Ten Zhang Golden Sword, Shi Xiaole abruptly stopped.
The murderous intent here had reached an extre level; any further and even the five Gold Stones may not withstand it. If it were four Gold Stones, they could, at most, approach an additional hundred or so zhang, just like Liu Xuantong and Sheng Xingzhi.
"The essence of the Golden Sword Way here is ideally suited to be the nutrients for Demonic True Intent, it’s a sha that I dare not reveal it."
With a sigh, Shi Xiaole sat down cross-legged, his Wind Sword Way drawing upon the essence of Golden Sword Way.
Conventionally, fully absorbing the essence of Golden Sword Way, and rging it into Wind Sword Way, seed like an impossible task. Shi Xiaole’s objective was to perfect his Wind Sword Way.
However, after a few days, he discovered that he had either overestimated himself, or underestimated the compatibility of the two supre trueans.
After absorbing 120 strands of the essence of Golden Sword Way, his Wind Sword Way had almost reached saturation. For five full days, he managed to absorb only twenty-six strands.
The seventh day.
The eighth day.
After absorbing thirty strands and a total of 150 strands of the essence of Golden Sword Way, Shi Xiaole knew that his Wind Sword Way had reached saturation, and continuing further would be a waste of ti.
However, he did not give up on comprehension, because the enhanced Wind Sword Way was on the verge of breakthrough.
The tenth day.
A burst of wind composed of sword threads erupted from within Shi Xiaole’s body.
His Wind Sword Way has impressively progressed from 30% full potential to the onset of 40%.
Above the sea of his soul, the blue little sword enlarged slightly, the outlines of the sword were more visible, a faint golden glow could already be seen along the back of the sword.
With right arm as a sword, Shi Xiaole tried swinging once.
The few hundred Zhang of the sword’s radiance was clearly more condensed than before, although destroyed by the Golden Sword Way, Shi Xiaole could still tell that the power of this move was twenty percent stronger.
In other words, at this mont, even without using the Effortless Seeking Technique and Divine Wind Movent, Shi Xiaole would no longer be defeated by the previous Dragon Slayer Swordsman.
"Young boy, your progress is rapid."
Engrossed in his joy, suddenly an elderly man adorned in golden clothing and crown appeared in front of him. Recognising the aura which made even the Golden Sword Way submissive, Shi Xiaole hastily stood up and bowed, declaring: "Junior pays his respect to Senior Golden Sword King!"
The Golden Sword King asured Shi Xiaole from head to toe, nodding in approval: "You have the potential to be the most remarkable swordsman I have ever seen. However, potential alone does not an everything. A true powerhouse must have an unwavering spirit. Only the strong-hearted can beco the strong."
"Haha, end-of-life speeches are always a bit verbose, aren’t they? Don’t worry, you already understand these principles. Little boy, do you feel that you can no longer benefit from the Golden Sword Way?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaole was intrigued, inquiring, "Senior ans..."
"While your Sword Way may no longer progress, you can still explore other aspects, such as Sword Realms."
As he spoke, Golden Sword King raised his hand and pointed.
As soon as he pointed, the surrounding Sword Qi actually burst out resonating by the thousands, just like ministers bowing to an emperor. Even the sword at Shi Xiaole’s waist involuntarily unsheathed by two and a half inches. Even with the peak state of Heavenly Sword Realm, it took all his strength to force the sword back into its sheath.
Sweat beading at his forehead, Shi Xiaole looked at Golden Sword King in shock.
"Did you see it? This is the next Sword Realm after the Heaven Sword. I’ve wasted five hundred seasons, but I’ve yet to reach the edge of this realm. Throughout the entire Flying Horse Dynasty, there wouldn’t even be enough people to count on both hands who have mastered this realm."
Wistfulness and loss on his face, Golden Sword King said, "Little boy, strive hard, I hope that one day, you can reach the end of this realm and perhaps have a chance to contest for the legendary position of the Sword Emperor!"
