Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Jade Water Sword Technique

On the fully restored Martial Arts Platform, a male and a female figure stood a hundred meters apart.

To the left was Ling Xiao, still in plain green clothing, which seemed quite ordinary, but the person beneath those clothes was anything but ordinary.

Having consecutively defeated three princes, he had become the most eagerly anticipated candidate to defeat Ji Mingkong today.

On the other side, Bai Qianjiao, clad in white, resembled a lotus emerging from the water, as she slowly drew a sword from her Storage Ring.

A slender and flexible Treasured Sword.

It was an Immortal-grade Treasure with water attributes, and even more, it was embedded with the Heart of the Ocean.

Bai Qianjiao hadn’t used a sword in previous fights.

Even Hong Li didn’t know she could wield a sword.

”Of all the opponents I’ve faced, only you are worthy of my drawing the sword!”

Bai Qianjiao revealed a serene smile that she had never shown before.

”Oh? That’s quite the compliment, but Qin Bi Xue has defeated you.”

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

”In the last stage, he overpowered me with his cultivation level. Even if I drew my sword, it would’ve been useless. The gap in cultivation level, especially between the Transcendent Realm and the Heavenly Man Realm, is just too vast.”

Bai Qianjiao shook her head.

”Is that so?”

Ling Xiao smiled slightly. After all, he didn’t need to use his cultivation level to overpower Bai Qianjiao, that would be too uninteresting and he wouldn’t gain anything from it.

”That’s right.”

Taking a deep breath, Bai Qianjiao stopped speaking. Her bright eyes stared intently at Ling Xiao, locking onto every opportunity on his body.

Honestly speaking, compared to the domineering and naturally ruthless Qin Bi Xue, the pressure Ling Xiao gave her was not only greater but also more baffling.

She didn’t know if Ling Xiao was stronger or if Qin Bi Xue was.

But one thing she was clear about.

Qin Bi Xue’s strength was transparent—obvious at a glance.

However, Ling Xiao’s strength remained hazy, with no one knowing just how strong he really was.

The fear of the unknown that humans feel comes from deep within, and it’s not easily shaken off.

”Jade Water Sword Technique: Wrath of Water!”

Blue Water Domain was the source of the Jade Water Sword Technique, which could only be comprehended with a certain level of cultivation.

So Bai Qianjiao’s sword techniques were unique; within the Jade Water Divine Palace, aside from the Palace Master, there probably wasn’t a second person who knew them.

Bai Qianjiao’s form was as fluid as water, slowly flowing.

Yet in Ling Xiao’s eyes, it was as fast as lightning.

In an instant, the distance between the two narrowed to less than ten meters.

Bai Qianjiao’s sword finally made its first stab.

Wrapped in a peculiar Sword Intent, it instantly caused the air around to surge violently.

As if the raging sea had risen in immense waves.

And in those vast waves, a beam of light was the terrifying Sword Light.

These were the sea’s momentum, greatly enhancing the sword technique’s imagery and power.

Down on the platform, Hong Li’s eyes lit up, thinking to herself how impressive Ling Xiao was to force her senior sister to reveal her true skills.

Not only that, but everything about Bai Qianjiao seemed to have been enhanced further, as if these enhancements had descended upon her to defeat Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao’s face still wore an expression of indifference.

His hands held no sword.

Yet the sword in his heart had already taken shape.

His fingertips exuded an astonishing momentum, and a Qi Sword suddenly emitted a blinding light, like a venomous snake flashing out of the darkness of a cave.

As if calculated, it accurately struck the body of Bai Qianjiao’s sword.

In terms of pinpointing weaknesses, Ling Xiao was far superior to Bai Qianjiao.

Whether it was borrowing the momentum of the sea or the Sword Intent, none could change Ling Xiao’s strong will and nimble skills.

Mountain and River World, immortal forever.

Even in downfall, one could be reborn.

It seemed to be an existence more everlasting than the heavens and the earth.

Clang!

The Qi Sword clashed with the Treasured Sword, strong Heavenly Origin Power sparking impressive Mars, dazzling like the stars in the night sky.

Buzz~~

”Ah, it hurts, my ears hurt so much!”

Suddenly, a Heavenly Pulse Warrior in the audience cried out, holding his ears; it felt as if they had been ruptured by a sharp Dao Feng.

The pain truly filled him with terror.

”I feel the same, what’s happening?”

”It must be Sword Intent! Definitely the effect of Sword Intent, both of these fighters are swordsmen, and their Sword Intent is incredibly powerful. Even if there is a protective Magic Array shield, it can still make one feel terribly uncomfortable.”

”Hmph, those who are weak should stay back; don’t blame us if you end up deaf or blind.”

A Heavenly Realm Martial Artist huffed coldly.

Although he seemed unaffected, the reality was otherwise.

In that last exchange, his ears might have been fine, but his body had violently trembled, as if a horrid chill rushed into his very being, making him shiver all over.

”These two are technique-oriented swordmasters, each strike aimed at concentrating energy to a single point, achieving the strongest attack. This is what they mean by ’the sword taking an unusual path’; swordsmen often seek the ultimate in offensive power.”

The speaker was a Cave Heaven Realm referee.

He was a swordsman himself and naturally understood better.

”Hmph, I didn’t expect this shameless brat to have some skills.”

The chief referee snorted coldly, his eyes complex with emotion.

He must have indeed heard something negative about Ling Xiao from the Sacred Emperor; otherwise, why would his previous anticipation for Ling Xiao shift to such hostility so abruptly?

While the crowd was abuzz with discussion, the fight on the Martial Arts Platform had already entered a fascinating phase of back-and-forth exchanges.

Ting ting ting ting ting ting ting...

Sword Light dashed to and fro.

The Sword Wind danced wildly like thunder.

On the Martial Arts Platform, constant ear-piercing clashes sounded out, the terrifying sonic booms and force emanating caused cracks in the protective wall.

As for the Martial Arts Platform, it was once again scarred.

”This Martial Arts Platform really can’t handle it, next time we’ll have to choose better materials and set up a more powerful Magic Array; otherwise, if the platform is destroyed at the start of the match, how can we continue?”

Of course, the duel could continue.

After all, the defined area of the Martial Arts Platform was fixed; if there was no platform to stand on, the two would simply fight suspended in mid-air.

Reaching the level of Heavenly Pulse Warriors, one might not fly, but to hover mid-air for a time was still possible.

”Jade Water Sword Technique· Song of Water!”

After a series of attacks were easily dissolved by Ling Xiao, Bai Qianjiao’s brow furrowed further, she had no choice but to suddenly retreat and change her tactics.

What was originally an angry Sword Technique instantly became lively.

But within this liveliness lay a terrifying intent to slaughter.

Like the song of a sword.

Rings of Sword Beam after another appeared in the air, weaving together a vocal symphony of combat.

And then they all rushed towards Ling Xiao.

Boom!

The symphony of Sword Beams interwoven with vocals was completely destroyed.

It was obliterated by a Giant Sword condensed with dark gold flames.

Ling Xiao finally used the move ”Hell Dragon Sword,” and after annihilating Bai Qianjiao’s attack, the Hell Dragon Sword shot towards Bai Qianjiao with an irresistible momentum.

Ling Xiao’s counterattack had finally begun.

Previously, he was merely defending and not counterattacking, simply looking to gain some insights from Bai Qianjiao’s Sword Techniques.

But he could not stay on the defensive forever.

A victor must eventually be determined.
