Chapter 58 An Earth-Shattering Sword
Zhou Xin wore a smug expression on his face, provocatively looking over at Gu Junhe.
Gu Junhe gave him a glance.
Not a word was uttered.
Yet, his palm once again came down on Zhou Xin's face, pressing it against the ground and rubbing it back and forth.
Zhou Xin's mouth was full of mud and sand, despairing in anguish, "Gu Junhe, you are going too far!"
Gu Junhe said indifferently, "Your eyes are asking for a beating!"
Zhou Xin: "I..."
Meanwhile…
Zhuge Shuangdao had already launched a thunderous offensive, his four arms spinning simultaneously, with black sabers cutting through the air—the dazzling black saber light was blinding and impressive, arriving in a flash, appearing right in front of Xiao Yi, launching attacks from both sides. The saber blades, merged with the arms, offered even more flexibility than using weapons alone.
The power had also increased significantly.
Xiao Yi was entirely focused. The opponent before him was of the Divine Power Realm Tenth Layer, far beyond any opponents he had previously encountered.
With a single hand, he grasped the Dragon Scale Sword to block the attacks in front of him.
Clang!
Amid a dull sound, the first black saber strike landed on the edge of the sword, actually causing the blade to curl back and sparks to scatter. The brute force was just transmitted to both hands when Xiao Yi felt a numb soreness, and then the second saber strike landed on the edge of the sword.
Clang!
This strike was even more powerful than the last.
Followed immediately by the third, fourth, fifth saber strikes...
"Whirlwind Slash!"
Zhuge Shuangdao's figure spun like a top, his four arms wielding the combat sabers repeatedly striking the Dragon Scale Sword.
The dragon scales on the sword broke apart and shattered, shooting off in all directions.
Xiao Yi was forced to retreat again and again.
"Hahaha, Xiao Yi, weren't you quite arrogant? It seems you can only bully those weaker than you..."
"What our Royal Martial Arts Academy doesn't lack the most are geniuses. What are you? The fact that our Royal Martial Arts Academy doesn't want you is only your loss, it has absolutely no impact on us!"
"Brother Zhuge, go for it, chop him down!"
The strong ones from the Royal Martial Arts Academy shouted one after another, their expressions filled with excitement.
The eighteenth saber strike came down!
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the Dragon Scale Sword in Xiao Yi's hand broke into two pieces, the violent shockwave sent Xiao Yi flying away. He was flung over ten meters, dragging two ferocious traces behind him, the centers of his palms split open, blood spurting wildly, the broken sword dim and shattered.
Zhuge Shuangdao stood proudly in front of Xiao Yi, with heavy mockery in his lips, "Is that all you're capable of? Still dreaming about challenging all the students below the heaven level at the Royal Martial Arts Academy?"
Xiao Yi shook off the fresh blood on his hands, tore off a piece of cloth to wrap around his palms, and looked up at Zhuge Shuangdao: "As expected of the number twenty-five on the Flying Tiger List, you do have some skills. There can't be many geniuses like you at the Royal Martial Arts Academy, right? If I killed you, the Royal Martial Arts Academy would surely lament your loss!"
Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List is divided into the Teng Long List and the Flying Tiger List.
The Teng Long List has twenty spots, with each person being a Golden Core Realm powerhouse under the age of forty.
The Flying Tiger List has one hundred slots, each a powerhouse under the age of forty and below the Golden Core Realm.
Zhuge Shuangdao, being ranked twenty-fifth on the Flying Tiger List, meant that he was ranked forty-fifth among the younger generation across the entire Tianqing Kingdom.
Such a prodigy was indeed a rare talent, even for the Royal Martial Arts Academy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhuge Shuangdao looked disdainful: "You think you can kill me?"
Xiao Yi stretched and cracked his joints, raising the bandaged hand, and said lightly, "I, Xiao Yi, always act on the principle of not offending others unless I am offended first. Today's affair was provoked by you. And Zhuge Shuangdao, since your earlier attacks on me were all deadly, if I don't kill you, wouldn't I be letting down my own bloodshed?"
"That also depends on whether you have the capability!" Zhuge Shuangdao scoffed.
Clang!
The long sabers held in the four arms crisscrossed, slowly dragging the blades with ear-piercing clangs, sparks flying and killing intent surging to the heavens.
Xiao Yi's body shook.
With a flick of his palm, a third-grade elemental longsword appeared in his hand, this blade was obtained from the Sword Mountain Manor; it was named Tiger Slayer. The sword's hilt portrayed a fierce tiger's head, its maw wide open with the sword blade emerging from within, a cold light circling the entire blade. Xiao Yi gripped the hilt tightly, his body trembling: "It's not only you who has an Innate Divine Ability!"
Hum!
A stream of black liquid flowed out from Xiao Yi's body, adhering to his right arm, wrapping around the Tiger Slayer Sword in his hand.
The Tiger Slayer Sword turned a shiny black color.
It had completely fused with his arm! Find more to read at empire
On this side was Xiao Yi's 'Weapon Fusion' innate divine ability, manifested after his breakthrough to the Shentong Realm, using a weapon as a support to transform his body into a weapon, combining himself with it. Holding a war sword, his arm fused with it; the entire arm was the war sword. Clad in battle armor, his torso could merge with it, and his whole body became the armor!
Weapon Fusion, one of the top ten divine skills!
"His innate divine ability is actually Weapon Fusion?"
"Just how strong is Xiao Yi's talent?"
All were astonished.
Even Zhou Xin was sweating profusely at this moment, filled with immense regret. He had turned away a peerless genius who possessed the Weapon Fusion innate divine ability?
"That, that's the power of Sword Intent…"
"To master one of the top ten divine skills, Weapon Fusion, at merely the Fourth Layer of the Shentong Realm, and to grasp Sword Intent already? This, this…"
If Zhou Xin only felt regret upon discovering Xiao Yi's mastery of the Weapon Fusion divine skill, at this moment he was regretting it so much his guts turned green. Mastering Sword Intent in the Shentong Realm meant a hundred percent certainty of advancing into the Golden Core Realm!
Added to that was his innate divine ability, Weapon Fusion.
Xiao Yi's future achievements would at least be in the top three of the Teng Long List!
"Jia Sidao, Ge Qingyun, Zhang Yi... you've wronged me..." Zhou Xin was so angry that he spouted a mouthful of old blood, his eyes filled with hysterical madness as he stared fixedly at Zhuge Shuangdao, "Shuangdao, kill him, kill him for me!"
Meanwhile.
Xiao Yi and Zhuge Shuangdao had already engaged again in combat, with Zhuge wielding knives in all four arms, attacking with an unparalleled ferocity.
Between their exchanges, the two appeared evenly matched.
After all, Xiao Yi was still at the Fourth Layer of the Shentong Realm, facing off against Zhuge Shuangdao of the Divine Power Realm Tenth Layer who had awakened his innate divine ability, there was still a certain gap.
"I admit you're strong, but you're still far from killing me!" Zhuge Shuangdao's four arms waved wildly, momentarily baffling Xiao Yi with his madness-like knife techniques.
"It seems I can only use this move…"
Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly surged with a crimson hue as he roared, "Blood Explosion Skill!"
Whoosh!
A red glow emerged around his body, enveloping him entirely.
It was indeed the Blood Explosion Skill inherited from Dao Yan!
The Blood Explosion Skill instantly burned one-tenth of Xiao Yi's blood, offering a burst of tenfold strength. The second layer burned a fifth of the blood for twentyfold power, and so on, till the tenth layer burned all the blood to unleash a hundredfold strength.
But to cast the tenth layer meant burning all the blood, leading to death!
Fortunately, Zhuge Shuangdao was only at the Divine Power Realm Tenth Layer; Xiao Yi needed to activate only the first layer of the Blood Explosion Skill.
Boom!
After the tenfold increase in strength.
Xiao Yi's right arm, merged with the Tiger Slayer Sword, was covered in a layer of crimson glow: "Sweeping a Thousand Troops!"
A sword swept across the sky.
Both speed and power were ten times greater than before!
Clang!
This sword blow forcibly knocked the blades out of Zhuge Shuangdao's hands.
"Not good…" Zhuge Shuangdao's complexion underwent a drastic change.
The moment Xiao Yi passed by him, he promptly reversed direction and struck again with his sword: "Chasing Stars and Moon!"
Whoosh!
The blade sliced through the void, severing Zhuge Shuangdao's four arms on the spot.
Howl!
Zhuge Shuangdao's spirit almost left his body as he wailed in pain, turning to run towards Zhou Xin, "Elder Zhou, save me..."
"No one can save you!"
Xiao Yi sneered coldly, the scarlet sword glow piercing the heavens, a thirty-foot sword light shrouding the sun.
This earth-shattering sword descended from the sky!
Spurt!
Zhuge Shuangdao's body shuddered, and he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire body cleaved into two halves by Xiao Yi's relentless strike…
