Chapter 819: Sweeping Everything, Wudi's Stance!
Elder Tiangang of the Changsheng Sect, at the pinnacle of the sixth layer in the Earth Venerate Realm.
He also served as the head of the Changsheng Sect in Southern State, controlling all major and minor affairs of the sect in the region. This person represented the will of the Changsheng Sect in Southern State.
Li Yaofeng of Nantian's Holy Land, at the sixth layer of the Earth Venerate Realm.
He was also one of the only two Erthly Honor experts in Yang Dingtian's lineage.
The death of Yang Dingtian was a tremendous blow to their lineage. As soon as the news of Yang Dingtian's death reached them, Li Yaofeng planned to leave the Nantian Holy Land to personally slay Xiao Yi. However, since the relationship between Xiao Yi and Baiyu had not been clearly investigated, he had to forcefully restrain himself.
It was only when he received an invitation from the Changsheng Sect that Xiao Yi came alone to the Chaotic Seas.
Li Yaofeng then left the Nantian Holy Land, joining Nantian Bao and others in capturing Xiao Yi.
After all...
Killing Xiao Yi in the Chaotic Seas meant no outsiders would know about it.
If Baiyu were to investigate, a simple "It has nothing to do with me" would suffice as a response.
That's why...
Li Yaofeng had come to the Chaotic Seas.
He thought that with Nantian Bao and others like Elder Tiangang and Tian Bao cooperating, capturing Xiao Yi would be effortless.
He could also use his Soul Searching Secret Skill to uncover the secret of how Xiao Yi gained such tremendous power in a short time.
What he had never anticipated was that Xiao Yi's strength was so formidable!
Now, with both Nantian Bao and Tian Bao dead, the situation had escalated to a fight to the death.
The two men exchanged a look and no longer held back.
Boom!
Boom!
Both men burst forth with two dazzling beams of light, one blue and one white, conjured from their innate powers soaring hundreds of feet high, as if linking them with the heavens and the earth.
Hum!
The surrounding void trembled violently.
Between heaven and earth, innumerable violent energy fluctuations exploded from their bodies in an instant, turning into two terrifying energy storms that swept across the land. Where the storm passed, dust flew high into the air as sand and stones were swept up.
"Shattered Star Finger!"
Elder Tiangang, expressionless, pointed forward.
Tiny specks of white starlight congregated at his fingertip, shining as bright as myriad diamonds.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
As Elder Tiangang pointed out his finger,
sharp piercing sounds rang through the void, like torrents of arrows flooding the sky.
Xiao Yi, with his left hand behind his back, sword in hand,
merged as one with the sword in his grip.
Sword and man as one!
One sword shocking the heavens!
Swoosh!
With a raise of his arm, Xiao Yi's Demonic Moon-Slaying Sword emitted a sharp silver light, forming a crescent moon before him called "Mercury Spills on the Earth."
A silver crescent moon stood vertically before him.
Whooshing sounds cut through the air.
As the crescent moon spun wildly,
at the same time...
The sky full of arrows rained down, creating a crisp tinkling sound as countless energies fell from the sky onto the ground. These energies had strong corrosive properties, voraciously corroding the ground into a mess.
At the same time,
Li Yaofeng's attack also landed on his body.
As compared to Elder Tiangang, Li Yaofeng's attack was more ferocious, his palm glowing blue with vines crawling up his arm, entwining his entire arm to emit a greenish-blue glow.
Like it was clad in a thick vine armor.
"Sky-reaching Hand!"
Li Yaofeng slapped down out of thin air.
Whoosh!
As his palm fell, the vines wrapping around it also grew wildly, quickly covering his entire arm and palm. Moreover, the area it covered was immensely large.
Like a green mountain smashing down from the sky,
its expanse immense,
casting a shadow overhead like a cloud.
"Sword Technique Twenty-Three!"
Xiao Yi's eyes emitted flashes of lightning as he gripped the hilt with both hands and thrust the demonic Moon-Slaying Sword forward.
Clang clang clang!
Amidst the harsh, jarring sounds of metal clashing,
a silver light enveloped Moon-Slaying, thousands of sword shadows filled the sky, then under Xiao Yi's guidance, they coalesced into a giant sword of a hundred feet. This massive sword phantom stood suspended in the air, slashing towards the towering hand.
Buzz!
The sword and the hand violently collided in the void.
The hand paused abruptly.
Green vines crept down from it, wrapping around the demonic Moon-Slaying Sword. The vines crazily extended, twining around Xiao Yi's wrists, arms, and finally heading towards his body.
Barbed vines tried to tear through Xiao Yi's defenses to burrow into his body.
Li Yaofeng sneered triumphantly, "Xiao Yi, I don't believe your spiritual power is as terrifyingly powerful as your cultivation speed and combat strength... You've already been poisoned by my Bewitching Vine, not even an Earth Venerate Realm powerhouse can withstand it. Let's see how you turn things around!"
However...
The smug look on Li Yaofeng's face crumbled in the next second.
That touch of the barbed vines on Xiao Yi's skin caused a crackling sound.
Vines that could easily tear through the skin of ordinary Immortal Emperor warriors could only leave shallow white marks on Xiao Yi. They couldn't penetrate his defenses, let alone burrow into his body and drain his life force.
"How is this possible? How can my Bewitching Vine not break through your defenses?" Li Yaofeng's eyes widened, shock filling his dark-gleaming pupils.
But in an instant,
the shock on Li Yaofeng's face turned into a chilling intent to kill, and with a cold shout, he maneuvered his hand signs, his spiritual power surging like an endless ocean. It rushed out ceaselessly, like raging tides along the Bewitching Vine, enveloping Xiao Yi.
"Aren't you dead yet?"
Li Yaofeng wore a smug expression, his mastery in the path of Spiritual Nirvana being exceedingly profound.
Especially with this move, which had always been infallible!
Never had it failed!
"Compete with me in spiritual strength? You are too naive!" Xiao Yi grinned.
He was on the path where all ways merge into one.
Not to mention his combat strength far exceeded those of the same level, his spiritual power was also immensely powerful.
Facing the sea-like spiritual power attack, Xiao Yi just grinned without being affected at all. Meanwhile, golden light circulated around his body, and the power of Wind Thunder burst forth from within him. In a crackling frenzy like thousands of blades and swords, it shattered the Bewitching Vine.
Xiao Yi stepped forward.
The residual image he left behind gradually dissipated, and his figure appeared in front of Li Yaofeng.
"Not good..."
Li Yaofeng's complexion changed drastically, but it was too late to escape.
A flash of silver light descended in front of him.
Spurt!
Li Yaofeng trembled violently, cleaved in two by Xiao Yi.
At the same time...
The attack from Tiangang also landed in front of him. Xiao Yi, expressionless, turned around and extended one hand forward. With a buzzing sound, the pillar of energy bursting with violent power was firmly blocked by Xiao Yi's fleshy palm.
A wisp of blue smoke rose from his palm.
Xiao Yi, expressionless, pushed against the light pillar, compressing it constantly into a white sphere of light.
"You, you, you..."
Tiangang's pupils contracted violently, looking bewildered.
He had never seen such a ferocious person before.
Catching a full-blown strike from a mighty Earth Venerate Realm Sixth Stage powerhouse with one hand?
Xiao Yi's lips slightly curved upward, "Die!"
Buzz!
The light sphere violently pushed back, and amidst a sizzling sound, it enveloped Tiangang.
Under Tiangang's horrified gaze, Xiao Yi, holding Lin Bingxin, turned around stylishly. Behind him, accompanied by a thunderous boom and electric flashes, a massive mushroom cloud shot into the sky.
The sweeping wind caused Xiao Yi's robe to flutter loudly.
Yet, he remained as if unaffected.
Holding Lin Bing Xin with one arm.
Walking amidst the roaring wind.
Proudly standing between the heavens and the earth.
An invincible figure.
Under the light of the mushroom cloud, his shadow stretched longer and longer...
