Chapter 296: Chapter 295: Bitter Battle

Inside the Mysterious Space.

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

It was Xiao Yi and Wanshan Sword Master.

”Wanshan Sword Master, what do you mean?” Xiao Yi stared coldly at Wanshan Sword Master.

Wanshan Sword Master waved his hand, saying, ”Ah, it’s embarrassing.”

”Accidentally touched the light ball just now.”

”And accidentally pulled you, Northern Mountain Sword Master, in here.”

”Really sorry.”

Wanshan Sword Master was apologizing,

but his face didn’t show any remorse, instead, he was smiling proudly.

”Quit pretending,” Xiao Yi said coldly.

”Hahaha,” Wanshan Sword Master laughed loudly.

His proud smile suddenly turned into a sneer.

”Northern Mountain Sword Master, I know you passed the trials very quickly.”

”Merely in half a day, you passed over a hundred times.”

”But what does that matter? You’re going to stop here now.”

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi frowned.

Wanshan Sword Master sneered, ”This is the most difficult trial on the second layer.”

”Even Martial Artists from the Heavenly Origin Realm find it hard to pass.”

”Your only choice is to use the Sword Master Token.”

”And forcibly leave the Sword Pavilion.”

The Great Elder of the Sword Sect had long stated that,

trialists may not arbitrarily tackle uncertain light balls.

Otherwise, they could only use the Sword Master Token to leave the Sword Pavilion.

And once a trialist did so, it equated to assessment failure.

”If you do this, you will also have to leave the Sword Pavilion and end the trial,” Xiao Yi said solemnly.

”What do I care?” Wanshan Sword Master sneered.

”After all, I’m no longer in contention for the title of Strongest Sword Master.”

”Leaving early just means missing a few days less of trials, fewer benefits, that’s all.”

”But you... haha,”

”Meteor Sword Master and Fierce Tiger Sword Master still have two days.”

”Enough to surpass your number of trials.”

”Their scores will also be much higher than yours.”

”In this round of assessment, you can’t even make it into the top six, let alone participate in the next round.”

”That means,”

”the title of Strongest Sword Master is already out of your reach.”

”Hahahaha,”

Wanshan Sword Master laughed triumphantly.

Xiao Yi’s expression was dark as water.

He never expected Wanshan Sword Master to do something so detrimental to both other’s and his own interests.

”’Tut tut, that expression, quite unsightly,” Wanshan Sword Master taunted.

Thinking back to the last time in the forest, when he was defeated by Xiao Yi in front of all the Sword Masters.

He was filled with rage.

Now, he considered it ’revenge served.’

Xiao Yi laughed in anger, ”Wanshan Sword Master, are you so sure that I can’t pass this trial?”

”Heh,” Wanshan Sword Master scoffed disdainfully, ”Still being stubborn.”

”Northern Mountain Sword Master, even the hardest trial of the first layer, you passed so barely.”

”This second layer’s hardest trial, even Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artists find hard to pass.”

”I’d like to see how you handle this.”

He recalled the blood-stained, disheveled appearance of Xiao Yi as he emerged from the light ball.

With that, he took out the Sword Master Token.

”Northern Mountain Sword Master, I’m leaving first.”

”Outside the Sword Pavilion, I’ll wait for you to come out.”

As his final sneer fell, the Sword Master Token flashed with light.

Wanshan Sword Master vanished within the space.

Xiao Yi’s face was extremely gloomy.

Now he only had two options, either pass this one trial,

or use the Sword Master Token to leave the Sword Pavilion.

But, according to the rules of the Sword Pavilion’s trial,

leaving equates to trial failure.

These are the rules, even the Great Elder of the Sword Sect can’t change them.

Besides, afterwards,

Wanshan Sword Master only had to claim it was an accident that he dragged him into this trial.

He could then cleanly shift the blame.

After all, Wanshan Sword Master also lost his qualification for the trial.

At this moment, within the Mysterious Space.

A layer of white light rose up naturally.

A snow-white puppet radiating intense cold

was advancing step by step towards Xiao Yi.

Clearly, this trial was combat against a puppet.

Every trial, trialists have the right to participate or leave.

Of course, leaving equates to failure.

Now, Xiao Yi had not yet left the Mysterious Space,

which meant he accepted this trial.

The snow-white puppet instantly attacked Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi wielded the Blood Slaughter Sword, stabbing out with it.

Naturally, he wouldn’t give up on the trial easily.

He would fight first.

If truly overmatched, then he would use the Sword Master Token to leave, not before.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi frowned.

Before the sword reached, the intense cold from the snow-white puppet already made him feel uncomfortable.

”Such terrifying cold.”

”Could it be that this Ice Puppet is imbued with the battle experience of the Elder from the Cold Ice Hall?”

Xiao Yi pondered.

Suddenly, with a clang,

the Blood Slaughter Sword struck the Ice Puppet, sending sparks flying.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi’s frown deepened.

With consecutive swings of his sword, Xiao Yi directly sent the Ice Puppet flying.

The strength of the Ice Puppet seemed weaker than expected.

”How is this possible, only the strength of Earth Element Fifth Layer?”

Indeed, in Xiao Yi’s perception.

This Ice Puppet only had the level of Earth Element Fifth Layer, at most Sixth Layer.

The second layer’s trial, the easiest trial, starts with Earth Element Fifth Layer.

How could the most difficult Light Ball still only be Earth Element Fifth Layer?

Xiao Yi was puzzled, but soon, he understood.

When the Ice Puppet attacked again.

When he struck with his sword again.

This time, there was a clanging sound.

But, it wasn’t the Ice Puppet being pierced.

Instead, a layer of cold frost fiercely formed on the Blood Slaughter Sword.

The sharpness of the sword clashed with the aura of the cold frost.

This was just as he neared the Ice Puppet.

By the time Xiao Yi’s sword got even closer.

The Blood Slaughter Sword was directly frozen by the cold frost, losing its sharpness.

At the same time, that extreme cold from the Ice Puppet.

Caused his blood to freeze, his body to stiffen, and his movements to slow.

With a boom.

The Ice Puppet directly sent him flying with a sword strike.

”Puh.” After Xiao Yi steadied himself, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

His face paled to extremes.

”How could this be.”

”The Blood Slaughter Sword has recovered to the range of a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact, yet it was frozen?”

”My strong physical body comparable to an Earth Element Fifth Layer demon beast.”

”Was it instantly frozen and put in a state unable to resist?”

Before Xiao Yi could figure it out.

The Ice Puppet had already attacked again.

Boom.

Again, that familiar cold frost and freezing.

Xiao Yi had no power to resist and was sent flying by a sword strike.

Yet again, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

His face turned even paler in shock.

Normally, during a fight with a puppet, a puppet doesn’t use its full strength at the beginning.

Like the previous puppet branded with Elder Duan Yun’s combat experience,

In the beginning, Xiao Yi could dominate it.

But later, after the puppet used the ’Wandering Cloud Kill Step’,

Xiao Yi fell into a disadvantage.

Now, it was the same, after this Ice Puppet deployed the extreme cold.

Xiao Yi was completely no match.

”Asura Transformation,” Xiao Yi muttered under his breath.

Xiao Yi was forced to mobilize the ’Asura Power’ within his body.

After deploying Asura Transformation.

His physical strength soared to Earth Origin Eighth Layer.

At that moment, the Ice Puppet attacked again.

That extreme cold aura surged out.

Xiao Yi felt unbearably cold, but his blood didn’t freeze like before.

However, his body’s speed and reaction sensitivity drastically decreased.

Likely, to completely resist this extreme cold, one would need the strength of at least Earth Origin Ninth Layer.

Or even higher.

At the same time, frost formed again on the Blood Slaughter Sword.

”Break,” Xiao Yi roared.

On the Blood Slaughter Sword, a domineering force emerged.

This was sword momentum.

The sword momentum mobilized under the thirty percent Sword Dao knowledge of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon,

Barely broke through the cold frost.

Allowing the Blood Slaughter Sword to regain its sharpness.

This was still with the Ice Puppet only at the Earth Element Fifth Layer level.

What if the Ice Puppet’s own strength was stronger?

Xiao Yi could hardly believe it.

”Break,” Xiao Yi roared again.

Intent on sending the Ice Puppet flying.

If the Ice Puppet was hit and damaged,

Enough times, the puppet would completely break.

However, at that moment, the Ice Puppet countered with a sword.

That sword, also entirely snow-white, was a Cold Ice Sword.

With a clang.

The Blood Slaughter Sword was easily blocked.

Not only did it fail to harm the Ice Puppet, but Xiao Yi himself was also knocked back.

Then, the Cold Ice Sword danced with several sword flowers.

Leaving Xiao Yi once again utterly powerless to resist.

Xiao Yi’s face turned to shock again.

That one sword strike from the Ice Puppet and those swirling sword flowers.

Shocked him even more than the extreme cold.

He could not describe that one sword.

That sudden block, seemingly godly, was truly awe-inspiring.

That perfectly timed move was unspeakably exquisite.

That multiple sword flowers were even more profoundly shocking.

There was only one explanation.

That is, the level of Swordsmanship, or rather, the Sword Dao knowledge possessed by the Ice Puppet.

Had already surpassed Xiao Yi’s comprehension.

With a boom.

Xiao Yi was directly sent flying by the Cold Ice Sword.

Again injured.

...

Second update.
