Outside the martial stage, everyone else held their breaths.
The Heart Sword Sovereign was about to use his fourth move. Normally, they would never have the chance to see the fourth move. Only sword dao events like the Swordsmen Tournament would offer such chances.
“Heart Infatuation!
Once the sword move was executed, the Heart Sword Sovereign’s entire body felt like a pool of backwater. Within the backwater, there was a kind of absolutely determined sword dao aura. Li Fuchen felt that the entire martial stage had frozen, even his thoughts were affected.
“The heart sword dao is truly peculiar.”
Li Fuchen’s eyes flashed with light as he slashed with the sword.
Due to the peculiar effects of the sword move, Heart Infatuation, everyone saw a frozen scene. It felt as though the entire martial stage had been frozen by an invisible power and went into dead silence.
The only thing that wasn’t frozen was Li Fuchen’s sword.
Li Fuchen’s sword was like an active radiance that was flying straight ahead with rapid speed.
The void sword dao was the hardest to freeze. In order to freeze Li Fuchen’s void sword dao, the opponent’s sword dao level had to be far superior to Li Fuchen.
It was obvious that the Heart Sword Sovereign’s sword dao level was inferior to Li Fuchen, let alone being far superior to Li Fuchen.
Clang, Clang, Clang…
The Heart Sword Sovereign was emitting radiance from his body. The exchanges between the duo were impossible to see by others. The others could only see a veiled sword light and a bright sword light flying around swiftly and clashing with each other.
Tss!
A piece of the clothes’ collar slid off and the frozen sword field on the martial stage had been lifted. The Heart Sword Sovereign’s face and body had traces of blood.
In this exchange, the Heart Sword Sovereign was in complete disadvantage.
It wasn’t due to the Heart Sword Sovereign being weak. In fact, the Heart Sword Sovereign’s fourth move was truly terrifying. The sword field was like backwater and could freeze the spatial zone. If it was anyone else, like Tang Xing or Murong Youyu, they would probably be immobilized when facing the Heart Infatuation’s sword field. They would be like a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
However, Li Fuchen was obviously stronger and the void sword dao wasn’t afraid of sword moves that froze the spatial zone, it was basically unaffected.
“We are finally about to see the Heart Sword Sovereign’s fifth move. I didn’t think Li Fuchen would force the Heart Sword Sovereign to this extent.”
“Yes, but this is the end. The Heart Sword Sovereign’s Heart Sword doesn’t have a huge increment in strength from the first move to the fourth move, perhaps only an increase of two times. But the fifth move has a burst in strength of at least five times and above. It is rumored that the sixth move is ten times stronger than the fifth move, but it is unknown if it is true.”
Everyone was having heated discussions and were very expectant.
“The difference is too huge.” Tang Xing and Murong Youyu were a little agonized.
Before the tournament, they thought they were comparable with the Emotionless Sword Emperor and the Heart Sword Sovereign. Right now, they finally knew it was just their own wishful thinking.
At their level, their sword dao were already close to extremity, but even then, there was a difference between strength. At this juncture, every trace of difference would be amplified on the combat strength by 10 or even 100 times. This was why there were nameless people who could suddenly become renowned experts in just a short period of time. Once there was a comprehension of sword dao, one’s strength might just increase by ten times or a few dozen times.
While lamenting, Tang Xing and Murong Youyu were also shocked at Li Fuchen’s strength.
In this year’s Swordsmen Tournament, Li Fuchen was the first to force the Heart Sword Sovereign to this extent.
“It has been 20 years since anyone forced me to use the fifth move.” As the fine wounds mended, the Heart Sword Sovereign said indifferently.
“You think I am forcing you?” Li Fuchen smiled.
The Heart Sword Sovereign was indeed formidable but in Li Fuchen’s eyes, he was only considered a normal foe. His real opponents were always people on the same level as the Sword Emperor and the Sword Sovereign. Unless the Heart Sword Sovereign’s sixth move was limitlessly close to extremity, it would be impossible for him to be a match to Li Fuchen.
Of course, being able to have a deep sensation of the heart sword dao’s essence was a wonderful thing. Otherwise, Li Fuchen would have defeated the Heart Sword Sovereign in a single sword move.
“What do you mean?” The Heart Sword Sovereign frowned and felt the atmosphere was a little strange.
“Make your move then. If I didn’t guess it wrongly, your fifth move should be similar to your first move, Heart Beat. But it is more intense than the first move.”
Taking reference to the first four moves, Li Fuchen basically deduced the essence of the Heart Sword Sovereign’s fifth move. If Li Fuchen had enough time, he would also be able to create the move.
Hearing the statement, the Heart Sword Sovereign’s eyes widened.
Li Fuchen guessed it correctly. The fifth move was indeed the enhanced version of the first move, Heart Palpitation.
The Heart Beat was a ripple in the heart, while the Heart Palpitation was a wave in the heart.
At this moment, the Heart Sword Sovereign had a different feeling towards Li Fuchen. Li Fuchen had been putting on a faint smile and was giving off an extremely dreadful and cold feeling. In the face of Li Fuchen, the Heart Sword Sovereign felt he couldn’t hide any secrets.
“Heart Palpitation.”
Without wasting anymore words, the Heart Sword Sovereign burst out with the Heart Sword’s fifth move.
When the move was executed, the martial stage had a raging wave and it was actually formed by sword dao law, without any traces of other laws.
Rumble!
The audience could hear the sound of raging waves. This dangerous scene caused many to close their eyes and felt it in their hearts. There were some who were nearer to the stage that suddenly retreated as they felt a sharp pain in their hearts.
This sword move had already reached the stage where it could injure the enemy with any form. It was even more terrifying than Heart Beat.
“Heart Palpitation huh? Indeed incredible.”
Li Fuchen executed the Void Heaven Sword Art’s first move, Void Reality. An invisible sword force spread out and clashed with the Heart Sword Sovereign’s Heart Palpitation.
Void Reality was also able to injure the enemies without any form. As Li Fuchen pushed the Void Heaven Sword Art until it was close to extremity, the Void Reality was ten times or even dozens of times more mystical than before. The Heart Sword Sovereign’s Heart Palpitation had exposed and hidden sword forces that were all wiped out by the Void Reality.
Rumble!
The barrier exploded and the sword force spread out. Those that were closer had been sent flying while vomiting blood.
“What? Even the barrier exploded?”
Previously, the barrier merely shattered during the battle between Tang Xing and Murong Youyu when there was a sword dao resonance.
Once there was a sword dao resonance, the power would be very close to extremity, but it wasn’t considered strength from the duo themselves.
“The barrier is too fragile for them.”
The Tiger Fang Sword Saint swung his hand and created a new barrier that enveloped the martial stage.
Even a low-level sword dao saint wouldn’t be able to break this barrier within a short period of time. There should be no problem for it to last until the end of the tournament.
The Heart Sword Sovereign’s Heart Palpitation had one wave after the other, like layers of giant waves. It wouldn’t stop unless the enemy was crushed.
Li Fuchen’s Void Reality was like the spring wind that looked powerless, but all the power was actually reserved within.
The qi force explosions were constantly echoing. In just a split moment, the two swords clashed at least a few hundred or even a thousand times. It was impossible to count.
Boom!
There was another explosion and the Heart Sword Sovereign’s mouth spurted out a blood arrow. He was sent flying back and nearly smashed on the barrier at the edge of the martial stage.
The Heart Sword Sovereign had a grave expression. His Heart Sword’s fifth move had lost!
It was a complete loss.
Before the tournament, the Heart Sword Sovereign never thought that such a thing would happen.
Even the Emotionless Sword Emperor Ning Que couldn’t break this Heart Sword’s fifth move in such a clean manner during the Swordsmen Tournament which was 20 years ago. The Emotionless Sword Emperor was just slightly superior.
Furthermore, the current Heart Sword’s fifth move was improved significantly as compared to 20 years ago. Be it in power or mystics, it was several times stronger.
“I have no choice but to use the sixth move.” The Heart Sword Sovereign quickly recovered from his complex emotions.
It was nothing to lose on the first five moves, he still had his sixth move.
This sixth move’s essence and power was at least ten times stronger than the fifth move.
This move was originally reserved for the Emotionless Sword Emperor Ning Que, but he had no choice but to use it to deal with Li Fuchen.
“Even the fifth move cannot deal with Li Fuchen, it looks like it is up to the sixth move now.”
“How is Li Fuchen so strong? It is truly unbelievable.”
“There are too many experts hidden in the world. Today, there can be Li Fuchen, tomorrow might be Wang Fuchen. No one can know for sure.”
Right now, be it the spectators on the audience stands, or the participants by the stage, or the top rankers of the Great Emperor Rankings, they were all concentrated. The sixth move of the Heart Sword Sovereign was serious and it might offer some inspiration to them.
“The sixth move is probably related to the fourth move!” Inside a top-class private room, the Sword Sovereign let out a faint smile while having fiery eyes.
His sword dao level was exceptionally high and just by observing the first five moves, he could already deduce some traces of the sixth move.
“Since I created the sixth move, I have never used it in front of anyone. If I accidentally kill you, don’t blame me.” The Heart Sword Sovereign’s voice had the intent of death that was truly chilling to the soul.
“Just make your move. If I die under your sword, it just means I am incompetent. It is unrelated to you.”
The Swordsmen Tournament didn’t allow any intentional killing. In normal situations, even if you wish to intentionally kill someone, it wouldn’t be possible. The sword dao saints watching the matches would sit by and do nothing. Of course, there wasn’t a guarantee. If the sword dao saint couldn’t act in time, one would die in vain.
But Li Fuchen wasn’t worried about such things.
In terms of overall strength, let alone the Heart Sword Sovereign, even a low-level sword dao saint wouldn’t have an easy time killing Li Fuchen.
“Be careful, Heart Mourn.”
The intent of death from the Heart Sword Sovereign was getting more intense. When he executed his sword move, the entire martial stage sank into gray deterioration. The surface of the martial stage could be seen with cracks and decay. The barrier also had subtle sounds of decay.
The sword move Heart Mourn contained the true meaning of death. It used the sword dao law to exhibit the meaning of death. Just this point alone was enough to shock everyone.
Just like the fourth move, Heart Infatuation, the Heart Mourn’s sword field also had the effect of freezing the spatial zone. Those within the sword field of the Heart couldn’t do anything but watch as they slowly decayed to death.
Due to the influence of the Heart Mourn, the Heart Sword Sovereign’s eyes were inhumanely cold and sent chills down the spine. The ravaging sword light was biting cold into the bones and extremely hollow.
“Interesting sword move. The opponent is going to be defeated.” Inside the top-class private room, the Sword Sovereign’s eyes flashed with light.
This sword move even made him astonished. He couldn’t imagine how Li Fuchen would block it.
The void sword dao might be powerful, but in the face of true death, the void would also be destroyed. All things would return to zero sooner or later.
“This sword move is a little better.”
Li Fuchen’s eyes flashed with cold light as he executed the Void Heaven Sword World.
The sword world had always been the highest level of the sword dao and there wasn’t a limit.
Sword worlds belonging to different individuals would have entirely different powers. If the sword world could reach the extremity, it would be able to create a real sword world.
Li Fuchen’s Void Heaven Sword World contained void law and sword dao law. It might not look pure, but it was due to the void law that made it easier to form the sword world. Furthermore, it could enhance the sword world and make it indestructible.
