Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Sharp Sword Intent, Ancient God Form, Crushing the Opponent
Qiao Jiaxi stood high in the sky.
He looked at the Willow Leaf Flying Knives hovering not far away and said, “Just with these, you cannot break through my defense.”
He was, after all, a Body Cultivator with the Ancient Giant God Bloodline, his natural defense on par with a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact.
Blocking the flying dagger formation was effortless.
“That was just an appetizer, do you really think you can do nothing to me?” Li He’s fingers moved slightly, recalling all the flying knives and having them circle around him.
Qiao Jiaxi stood midair and said, “Then, bring it on!”
“Sharp Blade Intent!”
Li He pointed his fingers like a sword toward the sky, all the flying knives instantly soared upward and merged into one.
The sharp blade intent blossomed, even more dazzling than the sun.
“What a fierce aura!”
Qiao Jiaxi felt the pressure.
The merged flying dagger seemed as though it could split his flesh!
This was dangerous.
“Qiao Jiaxi, do you think I’m ordinary? Without some skill, how could I, Li He, represent the Royal Capital in battle?”
Li He’s long hair danced wildly in the wind, his fingers moved slightly, and the flying dagger immediately tore through the air, arriving instantaneously above Qiao Jiaxi, descending mercilessly.
“Well done!”
Qiao Jiaxi executed the Vitality Sword, fending off the flying dagger, but was also shaken back several meters.
“Jia Xi has actually fallen into a disadvantageous position?” Long Tianxing frowned, “If I had known it would come to this, I should have volunteered. My silver claws are very sharp, surely capable of blocking the flying knives.”
“It’s too late to say that now,” Ye Feng shook his head, “However, Jia Xi is not weak, and he will not lose.”
The crowd looked at Ye Feng in astonishment.
At this stage, Qiao Jiaxi should have exerted all his strength, but he was still repelled by the flying dagger.
Under such circumstances, how could he turn the tables?
Could it be due to the powerful anomaly of the Ancient Giant God projection that appeared behind him when he clashed with Long Tianxing before?
The crowd speculated one after another.
“Just keep watching!”
Ye Feng, with his hands behind his back, had confidence in Qiao Jiaxi.
His special training was not just for show.
At the beginning, Ye Feng was actually worried that Qiao Jiaxi’s opponent wouldn’t be strong enough to bring any pressure.
But now, Li He had merged all the flying knives, greatly increasing his strength, suppressing Qiao Jiaxi, and bringing tremendous pressure.
Clang!
The flying dagger struck out once again with astonishing speed. Qiao Jiaxi hurriedly used the Vitality Sword to counter, but his palms cracked from the impact.
As for the flying dagger, it was also deflected.
“Such a formidable blade intent, it even penetrated down and tore apart the skin of my palms.”
Qiao Jiaxi had a grave expression.
He remembered the teachings of Ye Feng, did not blindly charge forward, but kept using the Vitality Sword to block the flying daggers, remaining in a passive position where he was constantly being pressured.
“Oh no!”
“How can this be acceptable!”
“It’s clear that Qiao Jiaxi is going to lose!”
Members from various major forces sighed repeatedly.
All being from the Southern River Basin, they naturally did not wish for the prodigy of the Royal Capital to win but hoped that Qiao Jiaxi could continue his legacy of brilliance.
Atop a mountain peak.
Jiang Baige stood with his hands behind his back, watching the battle from afar.
“Li He’s flying daggers are impressive, his blade intent is extremely sharp, and it also possesses strong penetrative power. He is not to be underestimated.”
Jiang Baige murmured under his breath.
Disciples of the Sword King Sect, like Luo Hedong, turned to look at him.
“Elder brother, are you implying that Qiao Jiaxi of Misty Sect is going to lose?”
Luo Hedong inquired.
“It’s hard to tell at the moment,” Jiang Baige shook his head slightly, “Have you not noticed? Although Qiao Jiaxi has been in a passive state, he is actually not losing at all, continuously holding his own.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed slightly.
“It does seem to be the case; Qiao Jiaxi appears to be at a disadvantage, but with the current state of the flying dagger attacks, they seem only to deepen the wounds on his body, unable to render him incapable of combat.”
Luo Hedong realized this point.
“What do you think?” Jiang Baige looked towards the other Sword King Sect disciples.
“I feel that if things continue like this, Qiao Jiaxi will most likely lose, but after hearing the elder brother’s comment, I realized Qiao Jiaxi might be intentionally resisting hard, perhaps holding some cards.” said a female disciple with snow-white skin and an imposing figure thoughtfully.
“Indeed, he is waiting for the opportunity!”
Jiang Baige nodded in agreement.
The others’ expressions turned solemn as they continued to watch the battle.
Above the Fuyun Gloomy Forest.
The two figures were still locked in fierce combat.
Clang!
The flying knife tore through the void, arriving behind Qiao Jiaxi in an instant; he abruptly turned around and chopped down with a Vitality Sword, deflecting it away.
“I feel the pressure inside my body growing stronger, it seems like my bloodline is about to awaken again,” Qiao Jiaxi panted, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his forehead, feeling a slight thrill of excitement.
He thought of the thousand jin of Demon King’s meat Ye Feng had fed him and mused privately, “So, the Sect Leader’s intention was for me to refine my own bloodline under the pressure of a peer and then make a breakthrough.”
“Qiao Jiaxi, you’ve been defending all this time, why not attack?” Li He asked in confusion at this point.
He could tell that Qiao Jiaxi was quite powerful, but for some reason, he had been on the defensive instead of taking the offensive.
“No need,”
Qiao Jiaxi shook his head.
“Hmph! If this continues, you are bound to lose,” Li He said coldly, and with a motion akin to brandishing a sword, he commanded, “Flying Knife Formation, suppress!”
The single flying knife instantly transformed into nine, stabbing towards Qiao Jiaxi from nine different positions, leaving no opportunity for a counterattack.
“Divine Fist, unstoppable!”
Qiao Jiaxi gathered his momentum, unleashing terrifying waves as layers upon layers of crimson-gold flames around his body formed a shield-like barrier.
Clang!
All the flying knives struck the barrier, causing severe vibrations and compression, generating immense pressure.
In an instant, Qiao Jiaxi felt as if his whole body were on fire, almost unable to muster any strength, and he gritted his teeth to endure it.
However, each of the nine knives contained a Sharp Sword Intent, invading through the shield and eroding Qiao Jiaxi’s flesh, causing him excruciating pain, as if millions of ants were gnawing at him.
This feeling was agonizingly pleasurable!
“Ah!”
When the pressure reached its peak, Qiao Jiaxi finally erupted.
He could acutely feel his bloodline within his body crazily absorbing the majestic vitality he had consumed over the past few days and transforming yet again.
Whoosh!
On his body’s surface, tangible blood vitality appeared, forming a set of fitting crimson-gold armor; his figure also swelled during this process, growing to a height of nine meters.
Clang!
All nine flying knives were knocked away, defeated for the first time.
An immense aura, thirteen times stronger, burst forth from Qiao Jiaxi as the nine-meter giant he transformed into suddenly clenched its fist and threw a punch composed of Vitality Power.
“He actually broke through right in the midst of battle!”
Li He’s expression changed dramatically as he quickly tried to control the flying knives to defend, only to be shocked to find that they were blown away by the fist mark!
“He became this strong?”
Li He was terrified and hurriedly used his Spiritual Sense to control the flying knives to merge and strike again.
Bang!
The nine-meter giant Qiao Jiaxi had transformed into had already charged forward, blasting the flying knife away with a punch, and with his other hand, he picked up Li He as if grabbing a chicken and powerfully slammed him to the ground.
“Wow!”
Li He collided fiercely with the rocks on the ground, creating a humanoid crater several meters deep.
Then, Qiao Jiaxi descended from the sky, a foot stomping down, pressing Li He, who had just poked his head out of the pit, to spew blood.
“I admit defeat!”
Li He tried to withstand the pressure from Qiao Jiaxi but found the opponent unbearably heavy, like a mountain, utterly unblockable.
In such a situation, he could only concede defeat.
“He won?”
Even at this moment, everyone found it hard to believe.
Qiao Jiaxi, who had been at a disadvantage all along, had turned into a giant clad in battle armor, crushing Li He with ease.
This level of combat strength was terrifying!
“Even if it were me in a match at the same level, I might not be able to win either!” Jiang Baige said solemnly, making Luo Hedong and the other disciples of the Sword King Sect change their expressions dramatically.
