After releasing two astonishing auras, the two of them stopped and did not continue the fight.
The astonishing aura of the Golden Giant Dragon and Ice Crystal Phoenix was gradually retracted into their bodies by the two, as maintaining the shadowy figures of the Divine Beasts was consuming a lot, and there was no need to keep them sustained when they couldn’t do anything to their opponent.
Both of them were studying each other’s weaknesses, seeking to achieve a hit that would certainly land and gain the upper hand.
"You have two weaknesses on you."
After a while, Gu Hanxiang finally spoke up, uttering indifferently.
"You have one weakness on you as well."
Ye Xuan smiled and said.
"Oh? If that’s the case, then why don’t you attack?" Gu Hanxiang’s gaze slightly condensed, and then she smiled.
"Why don’t you attack?"
Ye Xuan countered.
"Because the weakness you’re showing is intentionally made, if I were to strike first, you would definitely counterattack."
Gu Hanxiang shook her head.
"Isn’t the weakness you’re showing deliberate as well? If I were to make a move, wouldn’t I just be giving you the opportunity to counterattack?"
Ye Xuan also smiled and shook his head.
However, most people were confused, what were these two talking about? Weaknesses? Were there really any weaknesses, and why couldn’t they see anything?
But soon they ca to a realization; what kind of strength did these two possess? If they could recognize it, wouldn’t it be even more incomprehensible?
In high-level combat, only the skilled can understand, and the weaknesses they had would only be visible to those on their level—even if they purposely showed their weaknesses to the opponent, they still wouldn’t be able to see them; truly, comparisons can be maddening.
"If that’s the case, let’s stop playing these useless tricks."
Gu Hanxiang’s gaze condensed slightly, and the weakness on her body disappeared in an instant. Under the gaze of Ye Xuan’s Emperor’s Eye, the checkered body of Gu Hanxiang, with a very small loophole, vanished in a flash.
Ye Xuan’s body fluctuated for a mont, as if so subtle change had occurred.
"If there are no weaknesses, then I shall create one." In Gu Hanxiang’s right palm, a fist-sized ball of lightning and ice was ford, crystal clear.
Holy-grade Martial Arts, Ice Thunder Devour!
Boom!
Like the lting of glaciers, the descent of thunderbolts, and as if the world were to be destroyed, before Gu Hanxiang, chaos embodied—filled with explosive and tearing currents.
This move was quite powerful.
Hiss!
Glaciers diverged, thunderbolts scattered, and as the murky world beca clear, Ye Xuan stood in the center of the arena, staring at Gu Hanxiang who was half a ter off the ground, his eyes holding countless trajectories, as if all of Gu Hanxiang’s secrets could not escape, and were instantly analyzed.
"Not good."
Gu Hanxiang turned into snowflakes, evading swiftly.
However, Ye Xuan’s Rain Saint Sword grazed past him, slicing off a piece of her clothing.
"Your entire body is full of weaknesses."
Moving sideways several steps, the Rain Saint Sword drew an upward circle, temporarily isolating the Ice Snow Domain within it.
Puchi!
A spray of blood splattered, a grunt sounded, and Gu Hanxiang, with her hand on her left arm, appeared dozens of miles away.
Streams of fresh blood flowed down through her right hand’s fingers, and Gu Hanxiang looked at Ye Xuan, dumbstruck.
"She was hit!"
"Gu Hanxiang was actually hit?"
"Is it true? Even with such fast speed, she could be struck, this can’t be done solely by sword speed."
A chill went through the crowd’s hearts.
"Was it an accident, or..."
Gu Hanxiang furrowed her brows. Before, Ye Xuan hadn’t posed a threat to her, yet now, he had managed to strike her.
Biting her pearly white teeth, Gu Hanxiang attacked Ye Xuan once more.
Blood sprayed, a left arm spun into the air, and Gu Hanxiang staggered back unsteadily, apparently not as quick as before due to her injuries.
Hiss hiss...
Ye Xuan sliced through the Ice Snow Domain with a single sword strike, then slapped his palm onto the hilt of the Rain Saint Sword, shooting the sword light out in a rapid spin.
Clang!
A torrent of sparks erupted from her chest, and Gu Hanxiang was sent flying backward, spewing terrifying blood and flesh from her mouth. Because she wore Holy-grade armor, the sword had not penetrated her heart, but the dreadful sword force shattered her heart through the armor in an instant.
The heart is one of the body’s vital organs, the source of blood and energy. Once lost, all qualities would be affected unless a new heart could be ford instantly as the old one shattered. Clearly, even a Sacred Body would need ti to recuperate a heart, regrettably, the body’s various sensations would cause so discomfort and sluggishness when the heart was destroyed.
"You’ve gone too far!"
The illusion of the Ice Crystal Phoenix reford around Gu Hanxiang, and ice crystal wings flapped behind her, condensing the entire Ice Snow Domain onto her, crafting another layer of Ice Crystal Armor.
Boom!
As the Ice Snow Domain collapsed, ice snakes danced wildly, flashing across the arena.
Ye Xuan retreated, sword flashing repeatedly, shattering each ice snake.
Behind them, Gu Hanxiang lunged with her sword at Ye Xuan, combining the tip of her blade with the talons of the Ice Crystal Phoenix into one, shimring with icy brilliance.
"This is Gu Hanxiang’s final effort!"
"Terrifying, could she turn the tide in an instant?"
"Using the power of the domain’s explosion to force Ye Xuan into making a mistake and then using all her strength to perform her ultimate move, aiming to kill with a single blow. This ti, Ye Xuan might not be able to withstand it."
Gu Hanxiang’s sudden outburst caught many off guard.
Such a formidable assault was beyond anyone’s defense, Yuan Taiyi being the only exception, including Ye Xuan.
Watching this, Sikong Wuji fell silent, uncertain whether he could withstand the assault if he were in Ye Xuan’s place.
"After a re three days, one must look at soone with fresh eyes."
Yuan Taiyi only spoke one sentence, but from his solemn expression, it was evident that even he was moved by Gu Hanxiang’s final move.
Gu Hanxiang’s gaze was ice cold; this move had been intended for Yuan Taiyi, but now she had no choice but to unveil it—her opponent’s strength had exceeded her expectations.
"What a supre killing move."
Ye Xuan’s eyes also grew grave. Facing Gu Hanxiang’s trump card, he knew there was no evading this move. There were only two outcos: either withstand it or be slain by it.
"I must resort to my own trump card."
Both Ye Xuan and Gu Hanxiang thought alike: the later a trump card was played, the more valuable it beca. One would not use it unless left with no other choice.
Thoughts racing in the blink of an eye, Ye Xuan made his move to draw his sword. A chillingly deadly aura radiated from him, and as he readied his technique, a bloody gleam erged in his eyes.
"Heavenly Injury Sword!"
The ti to prepare the sword strike was brief. Ye Xuan achieved Human Sword Unity, and at the mont of the sword’s flash, the corners of his mouth trickled with blood.
The Heavenly Injury Sword, harming oneself before harming others, was the only way to unleash its true potential, and that was the essence of this extraordinary swordsmanship.
