Chapter 444 - Saber and Sword Showdown
Everyone could clearly tell that the voice came from within the ice sculpture!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Along with cracking sounds, a series of cracks appeared on the ice sculpture, extending and growing until they covered the entire body.
Snowdrift Valley’s Ling Han’s expression changed as disbelief filled her eyes.
Boom!
There was a deafening sound.
Right in front of everyone, the ice sculpture exploded, revealing a tall and burly figure.
The sound of a tsunami could be heard from that person’s body as it echoed in a shuddering manner!
Sword Sect’s Hang Qiuyu narrowed his eyes and the aura that he was emitting turned sharper and sharper. His entire figure resembled an unsheathed sword and he said slowly, “Good, good! Since you dare to enter the ancient battlefield, don’t dream about leaving it alive!”
Divine Phoenix Island and Sword Sect had a longstanding feud.
Each time a successor of Divine Phoenix Island stepped foot onto Tianhuang Mainland, they would naturally end up in a big fight with the successor of Sword Sect.
“This is a feud between us. Fellow Daoists of the fiend sects, there’s no need for you guys to get involved,”
Cupping his fists towards Pang Yue and the others, Hang Qiuyu said in a low voice.
“Heh!”
Pang Yue retrieved his black iron spear and slung it over his shoulder, laughing. “Well said, well said!”
The fiend sects chose to sit this one out and reap the spoils later. Since there was nothing but benefits for them, this was completely aligned with the thoughts of the fiend heirs.
“Watch out, Hang Qiuyu’s sword is extremely fast. There’s a high possibility that he still has tricks up his sleeves,” Demoness Ji reminded Su Zimo softly.
Laughing, Su Zimo was completely unaffected. Raising his saber, he had no intention of wasting his breath on Hang Qiuyu as he strode over in huge steps. “Sword Sect’s successor? That’s great. I’ll sever your head as a tribute for my saber!”
Dressed in linen clothes with a bared chest and spouting crude statements made Su Zimo seem like an unruly and wild person.
Even Bai Yu lamented to himself that the aura of this person before him was much less dignified compared to that green-robed scholar from before.
Swoosh!
Closing in, Su Zimo’s eyes lit up. The moment he struck, he started with Countercurrent and his saber beam expanded, engulfing Hang Qiuyu entirely.
“Fufu.”
Sneering coldly, Hang Qiuyu’s fingers slid down his sword before flicking the blade.
Buzz!
The sword quivered and let out a clear buzzing sound.
All of a sudden!
Hang Qiuyu attacked; his wrist trembled and the blade was already nowhere to be seen.
Instead, a cold flash arrived and spread out, causing the void to be filled with dense spots of sword lights like raindrops that shot out in all directions.
The place sounded like it was raining.
It was a heavy and intense sound!
“Sword force!”
The eyes of the paragons lit up.
“That’s the secret skill of Sword Sect’s Dao of the sword, Sword Rain Manual! Hang Qiuyu was indeed keeping aces up his sleeves,” Pang Yue nodded his head but was not surprised.
On the one hand, it was the Countercurrent force. On the other hand, it was the Sword Rain force.
Cling! Clang!
After a series of collisions, the saber and sword forces dissipated and both their figures resurfaced once more.
The two of them were in an even standoff!
Although the Countercurrent force was extremely tough, the raindrops produced by the Sword Rain force struck the saber repeatedly, causing the power that was produced to dissipate away.
By the time the saber cut through, almost all of its power was gone.
However, Su Zimo had always had a nagging feeling.
Although he managed to cultivate to the realm of ‘force’ for Countercurrent, he felt that something was lacking in it.
Notwithstanding the fact that Su Zimo was unable to produce the final stance of Sea Calming Manual, he had a feeling that something was lacking while he practiced his first four stances.
He felt that there was a sense of sluggishness when he tried connecting the first four stances.
If he could make up for that tiny flaw, even Hang Qiuyu’s Sword Rain force wouldn’t be able to deal with his Countercurrent!
