Martial Peak

oke.
His voice was slightly hoarse and unsteady, “It has been fourteen years since then and from small to large, among my peers I have always been invincible.
 No one has been my opponent; no one has ever defeated me!  Even those Heaven favoured sons from the Eight Great Families could not stand against me.
 With my sword in hand, none dare challenge me.”

 

Taking a deep breath, Wu Cheng Yi’s face suddenly became serious, “You are very powerful!  To think a True Element Boundary First Stage cultivator could actually fight on par with me, I, Wu Cheng Yi today have been awakened, it is not that this world did not have other geniuses, it was simply that I was too ignorant!”

 

“Realizing the truth before you die, you should take comfort in that.”  Yang Kai grinned.

 

Wu Cheng Yi only shook his head before coldly stating, “You really think you can defeat me?  I’ve still not shown you my full strength!”

 

“Neither have I!”  Yang Kai’s eyes stared coldly, and he immediately shot back.
An inexplicable smile surfaced on his face.

 

Hearing this, Wu Cheng Yi’s eyes narrowed once more.

 

“Good!  Then show me, let us see if it you who dies, or if it is I!”  Wu Cheng Yi yelled, completely unhinged.

 

From small to large, Wu Cheng Yi had only ever been looked up to by his peers, only ever received praise from his elders.
He was the Nine Star Sword Sect’s most treasured disciple.
The one they had placed all their hopes upon.
 They had asserted that if Wu Cheng Yi could really grow up, the Nine Star Sword Sect would finally have the qualifications to enter the ranks of the worlds Ruling Sects.

 

Such a proud person had today suffered injuries from an opponent many realms lower than him, so how could Wu Cheng Yi accept such a fact?

 

It was Yang Kai who had first come here aiming at his life.

 

But now, even if Yang Kai wanted to stop, Wu Cheng Yi would never agree.

 

Between the two of them, a decisive outcome was the only option.
One of would live, and the other must die!  If Wu Cheng Yi did not fall, then Yang Kai would!  Only the one who survived would be the real genius!

 

There could be no first or second place!  In Wu Cheng Yi’s mind, only he was qualified to be the ultimate leader of the younger generation!  Anyone who tried to encroach on his position would be his life and death enemy.

 

Finished his speech, Wu Cheng Yi’s crazed expression calmed down as an oppressive sword aura suddenly spread around him.

 

Zi Mo’s pretty face suddenly went stiff, and she hastily retreated.
Only after moving back several hundreds of meters did she finally come to a halt.

 

Meanwhile, Yang Kai’s expression also took on a new seriousness.

 

“I only have one move left, if you can resist it then it is your win, but if you cannot… then you will die!”  Wu Cheng Yi roared, his True Qi suddenly condensed into sharp blades and leaked out from all over his body, and even the Sword Qi which composed his Sword Body also suddenly collapsed.

 

He had given up on any form of defense and transformed all of his True Qi into a single attack.

 

In an instant, Wu Cheng Yi was surrounded by hundreds of Sword Qi blades.

 

All of these Sword Qi blades were composed of his True Qi.
Each one on their own possessed a great hidden lethality and destructive power.
With hundreds of such blades, regardless of who it was, their only option would be to desperately avoid them.

 

But Wu Cheng Yi was not finished; waving his sword once again, another hundred Sword Qi blades appeared…

 

Then another hundred appeared more…

 

Soon, the entire sky was covered with Sword Qi floating around Wu Cheng Yi, like the entire world had been transformed into swords.

 

Yang Kai took a deep breath and no longer dared to hold back.
Reaching out, the Asura Sect’s Hallowed Treasure, the Asura Sword appeared in the hands.

 

The True Qi in his meridians retreated into his dantian and was instantly replaced by the energy from the Unyielding Golden Skeleton.

 

A Black gas filled with a thick murderous aura, that caused anyone who saw it to tremble involuntarily, gushed out from Yang Kai’s body.

 

The energy inside the Unyielding Golden Skeleton was a kind of evil energy.
The exact opposite of Yang Kai’s usual True Yang Yuan Qi.

 

This energy was filled with an atmosphere of murder and destruction.
It was very similar to the aura contained with the Asura Sword.
 Yang Kai had only intended to use these similar energies to maximize the power of his artifact, but to his surprise, when he held the Asura Sword and began drawing energy from his Unyielding Golden Skeleton, the Asura Sect’s Hallowed Treasure actually began madly devouring all the energy his Unyielding Golden Skeleton poured into it.

 

In an instant, the Asura Sword began radiating a mixture of red and black light!

 

This light was like a black hole as it burst forth, and it seemed to swallow up all the surrounding light and quickly drained the whole world of all its colour.

 

In the distance, Zi Mo actually felt like she had fallen into a dark abyss.

 

Even the radiance emitting from Wu Cheng Yi’s Sword Qi also suddenly became faint.

 

*Zheng…*

 

The Asura Sword suddenly let out a piercing cry and sent ripples of sound and energy towards Wu Cheng Yi’s Sword Qi, which caused those countless ethereal blades to resonate in response.

 

Trembling violently, these Sword Qi blades seemed like they were desperately trying to free themselves of Wu Cheng Yi’s control.

 

Wu Cheng Yi complexion changed, and he hastily stabilized his mind, as he tried to maintain control of his Sword Qi blades and not let the Asura Sword disrupt them.

 

Yang Kai on the other hand was equally stunned by all of this, but soon his eyes began flashing an excited light, as he continued to pour energy into Asura Sword.
 At this moment, he had gained an insight into this Heaven Grade Artifact and formed a vague connection between himself and the sword.

 

Now, the Asura Sword no longer felt like a weapon but more like a part of the body, an extension of his own flesh and blood.

 

The two opposing geniuses struggled to accumulate power for this final clash.
Separated by dozens of meters, each of them stared towards the other; their faces filled with merciless determination.

 

On his side, Wu Cheng Yi summoned more than two thousand Sword Qi blades before finally stopping.

 

When the last few Sword Qi blades emerged from his body, all the blood from this Nine Star Sword Sect’s Heaven favoured son drained, and his face instantly became pale, as his aura drained rapidly.
 It was like in that moment he had become an ordinary person, one that lacked strength to even kill a chicken.

 

“This is my Nine Star Sword Sect’s Ultimate Martial Skill, Strike of Ten Thousand Swords!”  Wu Cheng Yi coldly shouted.
His face suddenly showed a touch of regret, “Unfortunately, with my current strength, I am only able to summon a little over two thousand Sword Qi blades!  This attack contains every last drop of my remaining True Qi!”

 

As if responding to his words, Yang Kai tightly gripped his blood red sword and wore a fearless smile, “I do not know what this Martial Skill’s name, but I am certain its strength is not weak, prepare yourself!”
