"I admire you. I used to think that I was the youngest Martial Saint at the peak of the late stage, and I believed that there were few who could match me across the Eastern Continent. I never expected that you, just a small soldier from the Qin Empire, would be so powerful! If given another five years, you might surpass me!"
Luo Xin looked at Feng Ye and said this sincerely. Ye Feng also wanted to express that he was one of the strongest among the younger generation he had encountered.
However, he kept this thought to himself. To avoid provoking the other person's fighting spirit, he took a deep breath and smiled, "I think we should clear the surrounding rocks first; otherwise, it feels strange talking to you like this! It’s as if I’m also a rock."
This was clearly a bad joke, but unfortunately, Luo Xin did not seem to understand humor. Hearing Feng Ye say this, he almost immediately erupted again! The imposing aura of the late stage of the Xuanwu Realm burst forth!
There was a series of explosive sounds filling the entire space as the shattered rocks flew in all directions! Some even nearly hit disciples watching from four kilometers away!
This truly startled everyone! Could it be that someone they could barely see as a black dot could pose a life-threatening danger to them? That would be too terrifying!
Of course, in Luo Xin and Feng Ye's eyes, this was merely clearing away debris! As they saw the other party almost flattening the ground for kilometers, Ye Feng was unwilling to be outdone. He spread his arms wide! Endless True Energy surged forth! Like sunflowers bursting open, huge chunks of rock debris splattered into the air! It created an exceptionally fierce atmosphere!
After less than ten seconds of effort from both sides, they had destroyed the battlefield that took thousands of Heavenly Mechanism Sect disciples two days and nights to set up. The distant spectators finally understood what it meant to be at a loss for words!
"If we had known it would be like this, why did we bother building that platform? What a waste of energy!"
"Exactly! Sigh, the elders really let us down! They didn’t even check beforehand!"
"Tch, if they could have guessed that our Sect's chief Core Disciple and that envoy from the Qin Empire would fight to such an extent, they wouldn’t be elders anymore!"
"Uh, I guess that's true!"
"Damn it, what are you all saying?" Huh? This voice clearly carried some authority; could it be one of the elders?
"Ah, Elder, we were wrong! We weren't talking about you!"
"Hmph, just wait until this is over. I'll make sure none of you escape!"
"Woo woo woo woo!"
While the spectators were still in the mood to joke around, a new turning point had emerged at the battlefield!
Before Luo Xin and Feng Ye lay soft ground that had returned to the earth, free from those annoying large stones. Standing on the muddy ground, Ye Feng felt the rare essence of the earth, and the power of Earth from the Seven Transformations of Chaos Decision within him seemed to begin to circulate!
He released a sense and noticed that very few people in the audience could lock onto him anymore! Perhaps this would allow him to unleash the power of the Seven Transformations of Chaos Decision! After all, it was nearly impossible to discern clearly with the naked eye!
Based on Luo Xin's displayed cultivation level, if he didn't use the miraculous power of the Seven Transformations of Chaos Decision in battle, he would likely struggle much more, just as he had guessed!
Once Luo Xin fully unleashed his realm, he indeed stopped misusing his teleportation! His gaze fixed directly on Feng Ye, emanating a terrifying battle intent!
Then, without any warning, this guy brought his hands together and silently murmured something! Instantly, Ye Feng felt a surge of tension!
He wondered what kind of techniques Inner Sect Core Disciples practiced. If it was a Martial Technique above Heavenly Rank, he might have to reveal his true strength! With this thought in mind, Ye Feng began to gather True Qi. Under the guidance of the Seven Transformations of Chaos Decision, both his celestial methods and martial arts gradually coalesced into a massive Illusory Sword!
This Illusory Sword radiated pure white light, symbolizing an extreme purity of power—something Qianjizi and others had never seen him wield before!
At this moment, facing the formidable Luo Xin, he dared not hold back too much! The enormous blazing white Illusory Sword was raised high above his head. Ye Feng's gaze sharpened as he gathered Fury Horse and shouted, "Be careful, I'm coming!"
As soon as the words fell, he raised the enormous Illusory Sword, infused with endless True Essence, and struck straight at Luo Xin!
This scene was breathtaking, and no one doubted that if this sword hit, even the legendary Five-Clawed Golden Dragon would lose a claw! Let alone an ordinary martial artist.
The thousands of disciples observing from a distance all displayed expressions of disbelief at the sight of the perfectly sized Illusory Sword. They had never heard of such a Martial Technique! However, this was merely the perspective of the ignorant.
Those with sharper insight, like Qianjizi and others, immediately recognized that the Illusory Sword was not a Martial Technique at all but a pure manifestation of condensed power. Yet this illusory sword likely possessed a hundred times more power than a real sword!
Generally speaking, to condense an illusory sword, one would need to be at least at the Martial Saint Realm. However, to unleash such pure radiance could only be done by someone at the peak of the later stages!
Almost everyone held their breath for Luo Xin! That strike seemed slow to describe but was incredibly fast! In less than three seconds, the Illusory Sword whistled through the air, aiming straight for Luo Xin's head!
What was astonishing was that Luo Xin did not dodge or evade; he didn't even glance at the Illusory Sword until it successfully struck him!
But then, a miracle occurred! The seemingly indestructible Illusory Sword halted just one centimeter from Luo Xin's head! It could advance no further! From over four thousand meters away, that sword had completely engulfed Luo Xin's small figure!
Everyone nearly believed that the chief Core Disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had perished just like that! But when they realized his aura remained intact and showed no signs of weakening, everyone understood! He had actually endured that strike without a scratch!
This could not simply be described as a miracle; it was divine intervention! Even Ye Feng was completely stunned! He believed that even if one were at the peak of the later Martial Saint stage, they would have to evade or block such an attack; otherwise, being hit directly would cause significant damage!
However, what appeared unclear from over four thousand meters became crystal clear in Ye Feng's eyes. The Illusory Sword radiating brilliant white light had failed to penetrate Luo Xin! To be precise, it hadn't even touched Luo Xin's hair!
Surrounding Luo Xin was an aura of Protective Qi, exuding a domineering force that perfectly resisted all damage from the Illusory Sword! Without any hesitation, Ye Feng understood that this must be a defensive Martial Technique employed by his opponent and not a natural defense from Luo Xin himself!
The reason is simple. If Luo Xin's defense value were that high, his Heavenly Seven Fingers would not have hit earlier. Moreover, Heavenly Seven Fingers inflicted damage on the opponent, let alone the upgraded Illusory Sword with several times the damage!
"Great skill! It actually managed to block my Judgment Sword!" Ye Feng exclaimed. However, before he could finish speaking, Luo Xin suddenly laughed!
"It's not over yet. What a coincidence, yours is called Judgment Sword, mine is called Judgment Hammer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ye Feng could react, Luo Xin suddenly brought his fists together and then pushed his weight forward! The movement was incredibly familiar, giving Ye Feng a sense of déjà vu!
That's right! It was just like the hammer strike from the first round not long ago!
Oh no! Because Ye Feng was half a beat slow, he couldn't retract the enormous Illusory Sword in time. Holding such a massive weapon made it difficult for him to even blink away. Inevitably, he watched as the equally massive hammerhead, condensed from True Energy, struck his chest!
"Ugh!" A muffled sound escaped as Ye Feng staggered back several steps. At the same time, the Illusory Sword was forced to retract. After a few seconds, he felt his True Qi rapidly becoming chaotic, as if a countercurrent was swirling wildly within him!
Ye Feng felt discomfort all over and couldn't help but show a look of fear. It turned out that it wasn't just his own power that could disrupt the opponent's internal organization! The True Qi flowing in from the hammer strike to his chest was precisely the culprit causing chaos in the normal operation of his True Energy!
"This feeling isn't pleasant, is it? But you should be used to it because you once drove five finger rays into my body!" Luo Xin said calmly, his expression still as stony as ever, making him seem even more terrifying!
Grinding his teeth, Ye Feng understood that in this situation, he could only reverse his True Energy flow to expel that chaotic current. Given the complexity and variability of the body's meridians, this process wouldn't be quick; at least half a minute would be needed!
Thinking of this, Ye Feng dared not hesitate and immediately began to channel his True Energy in reverse through thirty-six cycles. At the same time, he commanded the Wolf Fang Beast to hold on for at least half a minute longer!
The Wolf Fang Beast had not been summoned back earlier and had been protected by Ye Feng's momentum; Luo Xin's powerful aura did not affect it! At this moment, following its master's command, the Wolf Fang Beast quickly took its position and stood in front of Ye Feng, effectively serving as another meat shield!
Luo Xin saw the Wolf Fang Beast and immediately smiled, saying, "I was just worried about not having a chance to take revenge on you, and your master delivered you right to my doorstep. Tell me, doesn't this count as karma?"
This remark made Ye Feng quite irritated. He couldn't tell if Luo Xin was pretending to be foolish or genuinely clueless. The Wolf Fang Puppet Beast had no emotions and wouldn't care about such things, yet he felt uncomfortable, as if he were being mocked.
"Hang in there, just twenty more seconds! Wolf Fang Beast!" In the sea of souls, Ye Feng transmitted the command to the Wolf Fang Beast.
The Wolf Fang Beast let out a howl and directed a shockwave at Luo Xin, who was slowly approaching him.
Even the disciples watching from four kilometers away could feel their eardrums vibrating from the shockwave! It was hard to imagine how someone so close could withstand it without losing their head.
However, in reality, Luo Xin was completely unharmed and showed no signs of slowing down. In just three seconds, he casually walked right up to the Wolf Fang Beast! This left Ye Feng astonished.
But he quickly realized that it was all due to the Protective Qi surrounding Luo Xin! Was that aura truly a form of sustained defensive Martial Technique! If so, why hadn't he used it during the initial skirmish?
Could it be that he had been playing dumb all along to lure me into using my Illusory Sword against him, giving him a chance to strike back at me?
A multitude of speculations filled Ye Feng's mind, leaving him feeling incredibly stifled. As he watched the countdown reach ten seconds, he saw Luo Xin's merciless hands nearing the Wolf Fang Beast!
