Chapter 270: Feeling Relieved

“This dude is simply too smug. If it is not as a result of I can not win, I’d have punched him just a few occasions.”

The whole crowd on the spectator stand was triggered by that one gesture of Ling Ao. A lot of them reacted with shock and there have been many who reacted with anger. In reality, even Lin Bei was saying phrases of anger.

Lackey A frowned and stated, “He most likely simply had a unprecedented encounter. He is getting forward of himself, however he is not that robust.

Lackey B added, “He has by no means confronted a really robust opponent earlier than. In any other case, he would have realized his lesson.”

Shang Ziliang, who was on the facet, remained quiet. His expression was horrible. Whereas they have been speaking, his face was flushing pink and paling. It appeared as if he wished to say one thing, however was feeling ashamed.

Chu Liang, standing within the heart of the small group, had a smile on his lips.

He was naturally a supporter of Jiang Yuebai, however he would not be angered by Ling Ao’s response. In spite of everything, he knew that the result was decided by what would occur on stage.

There was nothing unsuitable with being smug. This was a mere character. If he have been to win, he would simply be labeled as a rebellious and recklessly daring particular person. If he have been to lose, he would simply be thought of a clown. These have been the results.

Chu Liang appeared over at Jiang Yuebai and noticed that she was nonetheless wearing that clear white apparel, untouched by the mud stirred in earlier matches. Regardless of Ling Ao’s taunt to all the crowd, Jiang Yuebai remained as calm as ever.

She made just one transfer.

She drew her flying sword.

The three-chi sword conveyed greater than a thousand phrases ever may.

Because the tip of the sword traced a half-circle like a crescent moon, sparks of fireside flew. Instantly, there was a way of hazard.

Seeing this, the Supervising Elder within the heart of the sector realized that the environment had reached its peak. With a transparent understanding of the scenario, he had no want to steal the highlight. After shouting a command, he instantly stepped again.

“The primary match of the semifinals! Ling Ao from Solitude Peak versus Jiang Yuebai from Azure Falling Peak!”

“Begin!”

Growth!

Earlier than the assault began, the invisible clashes of qi have been already occurring. The advantage of a solo match was that one may focus their total thoughts and spirit on the enemy earlier than them, with divine intent as sharp as a saber.

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes gleamed with brightness. Unexpectedly, she attacked first this time, which was very uncommon in earlier fights.

However she raised her hand to not assault! She despatched her sword flying up into the sky, remodeling into a whole bunch of beams of swordlight that shaped a protect in entrance of her with a powerful whoosh!

All these beams of swordlights stood in entrance of her like a barrier!

Within the very subsequent second, a shadowy determine clashed with that protect of sword.

Bang!

From the spectators’ perspective, Jiang Yuebai first used the Thousand Sword Seal as a protect and Ling Ao clashed onto it then.

However in actuality, Jiang Yuebai had sensed by way of the stream of qi that Ling Ao’s fierce qi was charging by way of the air in the direction of her. It was this consciousness of his impending assault that prompted her to arrange a protection.

She shaped a protect of a thousand swords!

Ling Ao continued along with his traditional tactic, charging ahead after which throwing a punch!

Crack!

It felt as if lightning streaked throughout a transparent sky. Numerous beams of swordlight flashed and cracked. The punch shattered the protect of swords.

As Ling Ao did a flip and landed, he misplaced his momentum.

This primary assault was only a take a look at. If Jiang Yuebai’s skill had been merely a facade boosted by her fame, she would have been immediately defeated by that punch. Nevertheless, when she blocked it, Ling Ao lastly confirmed an expression of warning.

Since he began collaborating within the Mount Shu Summit, this was the primary time he felt unable to interrupt by way of!

Select once more! Ling Ao shouted inwardly.

…

“It is ineffective. Irrespective of what number of afterimages he generates, he will not be capable to get near Jiang Yuebai,” Scholar Solar stated, shaking his head.

“The Omniscient Sword State.” Elder Huang stated with a smile. “It’s actually stunning for somebody her age to grasp this state of Sword Dao, however I suppose it’s regular if it’s Jiangjiang.”

“There’s a cause why the structure of the Transcendent Spirit is desired by numerous demons and devils. The advantage of the affinity with the heavens and earth may not be apparent, however this profit is de facto complete,” Scholar Solar defined. “She will follow and be taught any divine methods and expertise with ease.”

The so-called affinity with the heavens and earth would come with an affinity with spirit beasts, religious qi, and the Nice Dao… Briefly, it meant being favored by the heavens and earth all through one’s life.

The Omniscient Sword State was the final word strategy of Daoist Yan.

Strictly talking, this was not a divine skill or method, however a state of Sword Dao.

A reactive protection occurred whenever you acted after seeing the opponent’s sword strike. Nevertheless, if the opponent had not but struck however you could possibly detect the place the assault would come from by way of their stream of qi, line of sight, divine intent, karma, and different delicate cues, this resulted from being within the Omniscient Sword State.

Jiang Yuebai, who was at the moment on this profound state, may clearly determine the true Ling Ao that will assault her. Subsequently, irrespective of what number of illusions he generated, they might be meaningless.

“I used to be nervous about Jiangjiang earlier, however now I really feel relieved,” Elder Huang stated. “She’s not solely exceptionally proficient but additionally extremely devoted in her coaching. Her energy undoubtedly locations her among the many high prodigies within the 9 provinces.”

However simply as Elder Huang completed talking, the scenario within the area modified abruptly.

The 4 afterimages of Ling Ao rushed towards Jiang Yuebai from completely different instructions. Simply as they have been about to shut in, Jiang Yuebai’s eyes flickered. With a wave of her sword, the fallen flying sword as soon as once more broke by way of the air, blocking the trail of one of many Ling Aos. On the similar time, the ice religious qi within the air quickly elevated, turning all the area as chilly as an ice cellar.

Even the viewers within the spectator stand far-off from the sector began to really feel the biting chill.

Clearly, the one blocked by the flying sword was the true Ling Ao.

Nevertheless, as an alternative of dodging, he allowed the sword to stab at him. The sword was about to pierce by way of his chest when abruptly, he moved and grabbed the sword along with his naked hand.

With flesh and blood, he held the indestructible sharpness in his grip!

Slash—

The end result was simply as anticipated.

He began bleeding however the blood was crimson and golden, flowing out and immediately staining the sword.

Jiang Yuebai was not going to indicate any mercy. She was nearly to regulate the sword and proceed attacking when she discovered herself unable to make use of her divine intent. It was as if she had misplaced her divine intent and nothing was responding.

The flying sword, tainted with golden-red blood, abruptly misplaced all its religious power, and its divine mild dimmed.

Although Ling Ao’s hand was bleeding profusely as he gripped the sword, there was no ache in his eyes. As an alternative, they conveyed a way of satisfaction.

His blood contained highly effective and aggressive religious power. As soon as it tainted the sword, it instantly overwhelmed the sword’s religious nature. The blood on the sword started to boil and burn fiercely, like a toxic hearth.

Upon seeing this, Chu Liang’s pupils dilated.

Nobody knew higher than him what this was—the scent of dragon blood!

After cultivating the Secret Dragon Blood Method, the focus of dragon aura in his physique elevated, inflicting these modifications to his blood.

Ling Ao certainly had a connection to the True Dragon of Solitude Peak.

However Chu Liang had no time to ponder additional as he targeted his consideration on the stage. With a swift movement, Ling Ao seized Jiang Yuebai’s flying sword and, right away, stepped in entrance of her.

She appeared frozen in shock, unable to react in time, as Ling Ao, with out hesitation or mercy, thrust the sword by way of her physique!

Thunk.

The blade pierced by way of her, making a boring echoing sound.
