Wu Fa was powerful enough to create a cage domain to catch Ye Xiao inside, yet he didn’t because he wanted to slowly torture Ye Xiao to save his face which had been lost.
It was such a humiliation to Wu Fa to be injured in the previous attack that even such a powerful man would make a reckless move in such a critical fight.
Ye Xiao looked sneering. The cage had lowered the spiritual power in the space, but it wasn’t the best cage domain yet. Even though it was slow, Ye Xiao kept gathering spiritual qi!
“Hahaha…” Wu Fa viciously laughed, “Ye Xiao, you have died once, haven’t you? Do you still remember the taste of death?”
Ye Xiao looked at him with a sneer, then answered with a question, “Have you tasted it?”
Wu Fa humphed, “The taste of death belongs to the weak. There is nobody in the world who could possibly push me to death! There wasn’t! There isn’t! There will never be!”
“Don’t be so certain. Perhaps you are going to taste it today!” Ye Xiao said.
Before he finished talking, he shouted, “Crack!”
A tremendous stream of sword light suddenly shot up!
The sword light cut through the two cages at the same time and filled the sky with the glow of stars.
It felt just like all the stars in the sky started to shine at the same time.
“With the ambition to reach the clouds, to swing the sword and touch the stars!”
Ye Xiao blandly spoke. It was the first move of the Sword Art of Stars and the Stars Sword!
It appeared like all the stars from the sky had gathered around him.
The sun had been shining upon the sky, yet at this moment, the sun was gone.
All that could be seen was the image of the sky in a starry night with the splendid stars.
Wu Fa made a weird shout and hurriedly rushed away like a shooting star in the sky. He became like a phantom, moving thousands of meters away within a second.
A few drops of blood splashed in the air.
He was holding the handle of the sword in hand, but the sword had been cut into halves.
The sword had been with him for his whole life, which was sharp enough to cut any steels. He cherished the sword so much, yet when it was touched by the Stars Sword, the front half of the sword was cracked into pieces!
The Stars Sword was shining with incomparably brilliant lights!
The black sword was not the only thing Wu Fa lost. He had lost three fingers at the same time. Besides, there were several cut wounds on his arm, bleeding, revealing the bones inside. Aside from that, his back, shoulder, chest, legs… even face… were cut… The skin and muscle were whirled up, which looked terrible.
He was cut all over his body!
The situation was changed!
Everything was different!
Wu Fa believed his two-cage domain was perfect. He thought Ye Xiao was finally defeated. However, while he was gloating, Ye Xiao actually made a thrusting sword attack. Even though Wu Fa was an excellent cultivator, he couldn’t react in time, so he was crashed!
The sharp pain was all over his body. Blood kept dropping off and hit the ground. Wu Fa, the furious beast, finally calmed down!
“Ye Xiao… Well, well… Impressive…” Wu Fa took a deep breath and stood still. His eyes looked calm, and he spoke blandly, “I got swindled!”
Ye Xiao laughed and said, “You had it coming because you have been invincible for too long!”
Wu Fa thought for a while and blandly nodded.
He agreed with Ye Xiao because he knew that it was true!
He had been invincible for too long, so he overlooked all. Besides, in the previous attacks, he confirmed that Ye Xiao was much weaker than him in cultivation. That was why he was so sure that Ye Xiao would die in his two-cage domain!
It wasn’t wrong to have confidence, but he missed one thing. Ye Xiao had not only fully mastered the power of Tittle Phase but also reached the next phase, Cage Phase. He was just at the beginning of Cage Phase.
However, he was officially at Cage Phase after all!
Wu Fa thought that Ye Xiao’s strength should be no better than the latter part of Tittle Phase…
Well, it was a wrong assumption, which caused his two-cage domain to be broken, and he eventually got injured.
When Ye Xiao first caused damage on Wu Fa, he was enhanced by the power of purple qi. It was his luck. However, this time, he broke open the cages and continued with a tremendous sword attack. It hurt Wu Fa a lot!
The martial art Ye Xiao used was unprecedented in Qing-Yun Realm. The sword that he used was also unique in the world!
[No wonder he didn’t use his weapon! He was waiting for an opportunity!]
[He wanted the most fierce and murderous counterattack with the sword!]
Wu Fa didn’t feel regret or hateful. What had filled his heart was a sharp killing intent!
He wanted Ye Xiao dead!
When Ye Xiao made the attack with his Stars Sword, Wu Fa had nowhere to dodge, so he turned into a piece of demonic soul and escaped the attack range immediately. Otherwise, he should have been killed!
Even though he had escaped from death, he was severely wounded. The sword light of the Stars Sword and the purple qi of Ye Xiao had both made a great impact on his demonic soul. In one second, he was indeed close to death.
Ye Xiao had made a great strike, but he was surprised.
[Compared to the man who fought against Han Bingxue the other day… he seems to be weaker today.]
[It shouldn’t be that easy to hurt him like this…]
“I have to admit that I underestimated you.” Wu Fa blandly looked at Ye Xiao. A dark mist was rolling around his body, and the wounds on his body were slowly healing. He stared at Ye Xiao. “There is one thing I can’t understand!”
Ye Xiao blandly said, “What is it?”
“I don’t understand. You ate the fruit, so you reached the top of level nine of Dao Origin Stage. I can see that. But… Tittle Phase is different. It is impossible to reach Tittle Phase within a short time! Even the man in the history who created the Tittle Phase had spent a hundred years to reach it after he reached the top of level nine…
“You are an individual cultivator who has no support from any sects. How did you get to Tittle Phase? Yes. You became the three old men’s disciple. Maybe it is the reason why you can reach Tittle Phase. But that should be your limitation. Yet you broke through another level! Impossible!”
Wu Fa definitely couldn’t understand.
[Why is he so fast?]
[How does he improve so fast?]
