Meanwhile, compared to his opponent, Pei Xuanjing appeared somewhat more disheveled. Though his clothes were intact, there was a shallow wound on his left cheek, from which a stream of fresh blood leaked.
The attack’s intensity is evident as it was powerful enough to leave a mark on Pei Xuanjing’s face, reflecting the frightening strength of the Celestial Master’s previous sword.
“Did he lose?
The spectators thought about it inwardly but didn’t dare to break the current silence.
Now in the martial arts field of Dragon Tiger Mountain, although crowded with people, no one dares to speak. It is eerily quiet, with only the sound of the howling mountain wind remaining.
After who knows how long, Pei Xuanjing, touching the wound on his face, slowly uttered, “Technically, the Celestial Master should have won by now, but I am still unwilling to admit defeat.”
“Oh?” The Celestial Master raised an eyebrow. Seeing that his opponent still had something up his sleeve, he suppressed his breath, laughed heartily, and said, “Unleash whatever you have left. I’m waiting to see it!”
At this moment, the Celestial Master no longer had his previous calm demeanor. He revealed his true dominating character, full of vitality and boldness.
Did his opponent still have the strength for another fight? And wouldn’t he?
Known as the top martial artist, he was not someone with undue fame. If it was a battle they wanted, then he would fight unrestrainedly with all his strength!
Pei Xuanjing slowly began to speak: “I have witnessed Spring’s Mysterious
Orchid, Summer’s Condensed Lotus, Autumn’s Fire Chrysanthemum, and Winter’s Cold Plum. I have witnessed spring’s budding, summer’s cicada chirping, autumn’s falling leaves, winter’s warm sun. I’ve seen the full bloom of spring, the vitality of summer, the solitude of autumn, and winter’s silver
dance. Having experienced the changes of the four seasons, I finally understood a sword — named Shenxiao Heaven’s Intention. Please appreciate, Master of Heaven!”
While speaking, he slowly unsheathed his sword with steady movements. The commanding air around him began to climb gradually. His liberating True Qi, boiling Blood Qi, and pervading Martial Arts’ essence filled the air.
All those present were inevitably drawn in by his rather simple sword skill.
Underneath it, one could sense the radiant power of the sword in addition to the vitality of spring, the heat of summer, the desolation of autumn, and the chill of winter.
The Four Seasons Rotation was unpredictable, unceasing, seemingly beginningless and endless, in an everlasting cycle.
As Pei Xuanjing stood there, his body followed the movement of the sword, and the sword followed his heart’s stirrings. At this moment, he seemed to blend into Heaven and Earth, exuding an inexplicable charm.
His once powerful sword skill was called the Heavenly Flying Immortal. When he mastered Shenxiao Heavenly Will Method, he realized the changes of the four seasons. He had considered integrating his understanding of the four seasons into Heavenly Flying Immortal to make it even more potent.
In previous illusions, fighting against Eight Union and Master Sanfeng, the sword he used was based on Heavenly Flying Immortal, blending with the Shenxiao Heavenly Will Method.
Despite failing during the exchanges with the two, Pei Xuanjing’s understanding of his lack was enlightened.
He had been too greedy. The Heavenly Flying Immortal was an overpowering divine sword, perfectly formulated. It did not require an addition of anything else. Such an addition would not make the sword stronger but instead would dilute its purity, thereby forsaking the basics for the petty.
That’s why Pei Xuanjing abandoned this idea and took another path.
He purely integrated his understanding of the Four Seasons and Five Orders into the Shenxiao Heavenly Will Sword.
Although not yet fully mastered, this sword skill was more potent than the Heavenly Flying Immortal.
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing demonstrated all his strength without any reservations. If the Celestial Master could block this sword, then he would admit defeat.
In an instant, the sword light was extraordinary, covering the sky and the Earth, leaving only this sword in existence.
Countless onlookers immediately closed their eyes, daring not to look at the sword light because it seemed to pierce through their eyes and into their hearts.
Only the powerful ones like Zhao Baiyang and the Fengdu Ghost Emperor were qualified to truly look at this god-like sword!
Zhao Baiyang’s face was solemn. At this moment, he finally came to terms with his feelings, acknowledging that Pei Xuanjing had surpassed him.
The young man who, despite his tremendous talent, was leagues behind him when they encountered each other in the Wild Mountain Ancient Temple years ago, had gradually strengthened. Today, he had surpassed him and walked ahead of him on the path of Martial Arts.
“Brother Pei, you go ahead first. When my divine skill is fully cultivated, I will duel you at the pinnacle of Martial Arts!” Zhao Baiyang’s eyes shone with determination.
Zhao Baiyang harbored no dissatisfaction or jealousy towards Pei Xuanjing, who went from being inferior to him to surpassing him. He was full of confidence, viewing Pei Xuanjing as his greatest rival in his Martial Arts journey.
“I must kill you! I absolutely cannot let you continue to grow!” The Fengdu Ghost Emperor’s killing intent grew stronger.
The stronger and more brilliant Pei Xuanjing became, the greater the threat to him.
If the day ever came when Pei Xuanjing became invincible, it would be the darkest day for the Underworld, void of any chance of survival.
If previously killing Pei Xuanjing was driven by interests, now his life or death would decide the fate of the Underworld.
“This sword skill!”
The Celestial Master’s smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a serious look with an unprecedented focus in his eyes.
He could sense that at this moment, Pei Xuanjing seemed not to be ‘here.’ He seemed to have entered a different world, where all the sensations and auras he released were annihilated.
At this moment, he was not facing Pei Xuanjing but his elusive Heavenly Will. This sword was more like a Heavenly Punishment than a sword skill!
The Shenxiao Heavenly Will Sword, huh?
Sure enough, it deserves its name for aligning with Heaven’s Will.
The Celestial Master circulated his True Qi, the divine sword in his hand emitting a faint ringing sound and releasing a terrifying aura.
He reached out to the void with his other hand, and the divine sword on Yu Yangzi’s waist broke through the air with a clattering sound and fell into his hand.
With the two divine swords at hand, the Celestial Master’s aura also began to escalate rapidly, reaching a critical point.
He had one sword before and one behind, forming a mysterious sword stance. Then the golden light bloomed, carrying the momentum of slaying evil and demons, and chopped it down.
Slaying Evil Monsters!
This was the final skill in Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Slaying Evil Monsters Sword Skill, which only the Celestial Master could practice in every generation.
The two sword lights turned into a Golden Dragon and a White Tiger.
The roars and howls of the dragon and tiger echoed mutually. The indefinitely formidable forces howled towards Pei Xuanjing!
