Chapter 188: Nine Heavens
Outside the hunting ground, as a figure was escorted out, the large number of talented individuals who had already been eliminated all turned to look."It's Tang Xuan!"According to information, Tang Xu...Look, they're over there!
Because they had sensed the commotion here, powerful individuals who had been at the edge of Jingyue Lake hurried over and quickly saw two figures battling fiercely at the end of their vision.
They were just about to get closer.
Wow!
A sword shadow swept out directly, spreading for dozens of miles. Along the way, all the trees and air were mercilessly cut open. The ground below immediately cracked, revealing a huge and boundless chasm that stretched for dozens of miles.
"Hiss~"
Everyone gasped at the sight.
"Stand back, everyone! Don't get caught in the blast!"
"Come on, back away!"
These people dared not get any closer, they stood in the void far from the battlefield, looking up.
"It's the Blood Robed Marquis, the same one who severely injured the three Great Bone Kings by facing them head-on before! Remember the URL
"
It must have been the two of them, no wonder there was such a commotion.
"These two, what terrifying strength!"
Under the astonished gazes of these people, the two figures in front were fighting frantically.
That Blood-Clad Marquis, his speed was too fast, and his movements were even more bizarre. Every time his figure burst forth, dozens of scarlet lights would erupt simultaneously. The crimson spear in his hand repeatedly thrust, slashed, or swung with a furious smash.
That marksmanship was not only fast and powerful, but each move was incredibly smooth and elegant, giving the opponent no chance to breathe.
And if the Blood-cloaked Marquis was like a blood-colored phantom wandering through the void, then Su Xin was like an imposing giant standing firm between heaven and earth.
He stood there, no matter how sharp and terrifying the Blood Robe Marquis's gunmanship was, he could directly and simply block it even crush it head-on. His power was too great, every casual sword strike contained terrifying power, which made the Blood Robe Marquis extremely wary and dare not resist easily.
No matter how magnificent the Blood-Robed Marquis's attacks were, or how exquisite his moves, he would directly break through all techniques with sheer force.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Waves of sword shadows slashed out wildly, each strike making heaven and earth tremble. The sword light swept across the ground, instantly leaving behind enormous, boundless sword marks.
"Too strong!"
"The strength of these two people is simply unbelievable!!"
“So the Blood-Robed Marquis gave up. After all, he was ranked 67th on the Eastern Desolate Venerable List, but that swordsman at the peak of the Fourth Step, he was only at the Fourth Step cultivation level! How could his strength be so terrifying Moreover, in terms of sheer power alone, he was clearly a notch stronger than the Blood-Robed Marquis. The Blood-Robed Marquis didn't dare to face him head-on.”
The Bloodcloaked Marquis is said to have awakened a bloodline, though it's only a third-rank one. When his bloodline power erupts, his strength and might surpass that of an ordinary sixth-step Venerable by quite a bit. Yet now, he's still weaker than a fourth-step peak expert
Upon arriving at the battlefield's outskirts, the numerous powerful onlookers all widened their eyes in astonishment.
The Blood Robe Marquis is strong, they can understand.
Ke Su Xin is also this strong, they definitely didn't expect it.
After all, Su Xin had no reputation before, and his cultivation level was obviously only at the peak of the fourth step.
Could someone who has reached the peak in just four steps actually fight Blood-Robed Marquis to a standstill
"Ding!"
Another earth-shattering clash occurred. Bloodcloaked Marquis had done his best to avoid a direct confrontation with Su Xin, but in the midst of the fight, he was inevitably struck by Su Xin's swordsmanship directly on his spear. His figure trembled violently, and he hastily retreated backwards.
The distance between the two widened once more.
“Haha, exhilarating, exhilarating!!”
"Su Xin, you're the most terrifying Four Steps Peak I've ever encountered. I've put in all my effort, but when fighting you head-on, I haven't gained even a shred of advantage." The Bloodcloaked Marquis laughed heartily, his voice echoing through the heavens and earth.
"You're not weak either. Su Xin's eyes also held a hint of excitement."
He hadn't encountered an opponent as formidable as Blood Robe Marquis in a long time, someone who could stand toe-to-toe with him in a direct confrontation.
Just now, the two of them fought head-on, displaying all sorts of swordsmanship and gunplay, but neither could gain an advantage over the other.
It's precisely this kind of evenly matched, fierce battle that gets the blood pumping!
"Bloodcloaked Marquis, to be ranked sixty-seventh on the Eastern Wasteland Venerable List, your strength should be more than that, right" Su Xin's gaze was fixed on Bloodcloaked Marquis.
"Not bad, Bloodcloaked Marquis nodded and said, "I still haven't unleashed my strongest ultimate move. Su Xin, do you dare to receive my ultimate move"
"A secret move" Su Xin's eyes lit up.
In the heat of battle, both combatants have already unleashed their ultimate techniques.
But this Blood Robe Marquis, he actually still has a secret move
"Haha, what's there to fear Come at me with your horses! Su Xin is not afraid at all."
The Blood-Cloaked Marquis had a secret technique he never used. Wasn't he the same
"Very good"
The Blood-cloaked Marquis grinned, and in the next moment his figure became a blur as he charged forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In three swift strides, the Blood-Robed Marquis appeared before Su Xin. At the same time, a vast golden light surged on his hand holding the gun.
It was clearly the result of a powerful amplification spell being cast.
"Shout light!"
Xue Yi Hou let out a low growl, his long spear shot forward directly, its chillingly cold tip piercing through the void. At that moment, a dense golden light suddenly erupted, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom that appeared out of nowhere.
"Shriek!!!"
The sound blast was not only deafening, but it also carried a special kind of power that instantly acted upon Su Xin.
Su Xin only felt a sudden and violent pain in his head, as if his mind and consciousness were about to shatter completely.
This pain came on very suddenly and was extremely intense.
But luckily, Su Xin had once cultivated in the Netherworld Secret Realm. The second layer of that secret realm focused on a boundless burning sensation targeting one's spiritual consciousness, a kind of ecstasy far more intense than what he was experiencing now.
As he endured the sudden sharp pain, he was still able to cast his ultimate skill in the first instance. The dazzling and beautiful galaxy instantly swept out.
"Bang!!"
Su Xin's figure exploded backward, but quickly regained its balance.
He raised his head and looked back at the Blood-Robed Marquis in front of him, grinning. "Blood-Robed Marquis, your move was quite good!"
"Didn't it get stopped"
The Blood-cloaked Marquis then stared at Su Xin in utter astonishment.
This ultimate move was painstakingly created by him after years of effort. It was his strongest and most confident trump card. This move not only possessed immense power, far surpassing ordinary martial arts techniques, but it also contained terrifying sonic attacks within it.
This sonic attack will first act on the opponent's brain and consciousness, coming suddenly. The opponent is very difficult to react to it, and even if they can react, their moves will be significantly weakened in power.
But Su Xin, who was right in front of them, reacted first to the sonic attack just moments ago and unleashed his ultimate technique to defend himself. Although he was blown back head-on, it was clear that Su Xin had not suffered any major injuries.
"Blood Robe Marquis, your strongest move has already been unleashed. Now, take my sword!" Su Xin said softly.
"Do you have any hidden tricks up your sleeve too" Xueyi Hou's face grew serious.
Su Xin moved.
With just a simple step, layer upon layer of blood-colored crystals appeared in his hand.
After performing the Starcloud Hand technique, he gestured with one hand toward the void where Bloodcloaked Marquis was located.
It looked random, but in an instant, a gigantic sword shadow stretching hundreds of meters long appeared as if it were suspended above the heavens, sweeping out directly.
This sword shadow...cold, merciless!
Bearing a hitherto unseen aura of destruction.
The sky was completely overcast, shrouding the entire void where Blood-Robed Marquis resided.
"This sword..." Blood-cloaked Marquis' face drastically changed.
At the moment he saw this sword shadow, he himself, and even the void around him, trembled involuntarily.
This sword's power surpasses his imagination.
The Blood Robe Marquis went all out, his eyes filled with a hint of madness. He once again unleashed the power amplification technique, pushing his bloodline to its limits. At this moment, he exerted every ounce of strength to perform his ultimate technique.
"Bang!"
But the ultimate technique he wielded, upon contact with that colossal and merciless sword shadow, immediately dissipated after a short while. The ruthless sword shadow suspended high in the heavens then completely engulfed him.
Boom boom boom~
The surrounding space shuddered, the entire battlefield, hundreds of miles in radius, was enveloped by the aura of sword shadows. The surge of power formed an unstoppable shockwave that swept across the battlefield. Those powerful beings who were watching from the edge of the battlefield had their hair and robes lifted by the force, and they involuntarily took a step back.
After a moment, his imposing manner disappeared.
Su Xin remained indifferent, standing aloof in the void. But not far ahead of him, the Blood-Robed Marquis, whose expression had paled considerably, was covered in bloodstains on his crimson robe, and his aura was noticeably weaker. It was clear that he had suffered some degree of injury from that previous sword strike.
This was still Su Xin's last resort, retracting some of his power, otherwise, this Blood-Robed Marquis's ending would have been even more tragic.
"Su Xin, what was the name of that sword move you just used" Blood-Clothed Marquis stared at Su Xin and asked.
"The sword's name... Nine Heavens!" Su Xin said.
“Blades surged, piercing the heavens. The Blood-Clothed Marquis nodded secretly, then took a deep breath and said solemnly: “Su Xin, you are a peak four-step venerator, yet you have created a peak one-tier ultimate technique. This truly deserves admiration. In this battle, I admit defeat wholeheartedly.”
Su Xin couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.
Three years of ascetic training, within the Xiao Cangshu Pavilion a wealth of swordsmanship secrets and theoretical research, countless battles in the Sword Dao Reincarnation space, his gains are not limited to sword intent comprehension and improvement in swordsmanship, but in esoteric arts, his gains are even greater!!
He had already created the peerless skill, 'Star River'.
Within the Xiao Zang Shu Ge, there were countless powerful individuals displaying their unique skills. Su Xin had been carefully observing and studying them, undergoing countless battles to try them out. He had accumulated a wealth of experience. Most importantly, the nascent form of Jianxin within him provided him with invisible guidance. This finally allowed him to create an even stronger unique skill recently.
This supreme skill is called Jiuxiao!
And the cultivation techniques, too, have levels. Within the eastern wasteland, most of the techniques created by numerous Six-Step venerables are only Level One cultivation techniques at best.
The First Stage of Absolute Mastery is also divided into three different levels: First Stage Elementary, Advanced, and Pinnacle.
Just like the previous "Jue Xue Xing He" created by Su Xin, including most of the "Jue Xue" created by Six Step Venerables, are only the first-level introductory level "Jue Xue".
The Blood Robed Marquis's just-displayed ultimate skill containing sound wave attacks wasn't only powerful, but also simultaneously carried terrifying sound wave attacks, ranking as a high-level first-tier ultimate skill.
And Jiuxiao is indeed a genuine peak-level mastery of the first level!!
……oaching the center of the secret realm, and after two days, he saw a spatial passage in an expanse of wasteland. Through the spatial passage, Su Xin directly arrived at the second layer of the secret...
