1728 Zhuo Ming Won, Heavenly Sword, Dare You Answer The Challenge?
Zhuo Ming confronted Luo Xue inside the God King Crater.
Sword intent clashed with a strange Arch Gilded Intent, developing an odd and invisible pressure that blanketed the field.
Luo Xue was the first to break the ice by drawing her sword, freezing ten thousand kilometers of ground.
As she slashed forward with her sword, her sword qi started a blizzard that tried to envelop its target whole.
Every snowflake in the blizzard was a sword qi, and with countless snowflakes in the blizzard, the sword qi gushed forward in an indomitable manner.
“A good strike!”
Zhuo Ming released a powerful warcry. He then moved his arms in a strange way, and black flames started to circulate him, blocking the blizzard.
The blizzard sword qi and black flames intertwined as soon as they clashed, forming a violent tornado that wreaked havoc in the area.
It was just the start of a fierce battle.
“Spirit Snow Sword, Thousand River Freeze!”
Luo Xue wielded her sword. On the tip of the blade, the Blizzard Arch Gilded Intent gathered, and her Immortal’s Core energy gushed forward with the power to freeze a thousand rivers.
The endless blizzard formed a massive white sword shadow that thrust forward fiercely.
However, Zhuo Ming refused to back down and used his killer move.
“Evil Flame Heaven Scorching Palm!”
As he moved his hand in a circular motion, endless Evil Flame rose and shrouded the sky. A massive black palm formed and crashed down onto Luo Xue.
When the sword and palm collided, the blizzard was subdued, the land cracked, and the entire God King Crater trembled.
Bang!
The collision between palm and sword sent both Zhuo Ming and Luo Xue staggering away.
However, Luo Xue was pushed back further than Zhuo Ming, and she almost lost her balance, seemingly falling into a disadvantageous position.
“You are indeed stronger,” Luo Xue said as her eyes narrowed, and she channeled her Immortal’s Core energy to the limit.
White sword rays burst from her sword, and as they surged to the sky, the entire crater was lit up.
“Spirit Snow Sword, Ice Snow Shine!”
The white sword ray burst into the sky and formed ice mirrors to surround Zhuo Ming. With the sword rays reflected onto the ground, the entire field was lit up.
“Haha! I’ve seen this technique of yours before, and the same techniques won’t work on me twice!”
Zhuo Ming yelled and released the black flame into the area. The black fireball burst and spewed countless embers onto the ice mirrors, shattering them.
However, Luo Xue was not surprised by the counterattack. She turned her blade and released a stronger sword qi at Zhuo Ming.
The sword qi contained the power of the blizzard!
It left a trail of icy desolation as it moved forward.
The other cultivators who saw the thrust could feel the chills running down their spines. It was as if their souls were frozen too.
“Spirit Snow Sword, Heavenly Frost Sword!”
That attack was a lot stronger than the one before.
However, although Zhuo Ming suffered some damage when he faced that technique in the past, he was no longer who he used to be.
His eyes narrowed, and he put his palms together to summon two balls of black flame. A strange but domineering aura came from the fireballs.
“Evil Flame Burst!”
He smashed the two fireballs together to form a bigger one above his head. Countless runes were circulating inside the massive fireball.
The black flame shone as though it was a black sun hanging above him.
Zhuo Ming then hurled the black sun into the icy blizzard.
Right before it was frozen completely, the black sun exploded.
Countless Evil Flames burst and scattered everywhere, mitigating the icy blizzard in an instant.
The black flame wave gushed forward like a beast in an attempt to engulf Luo Xue.
Luo Xue’s expression turned grim. She gathered her sword qi again to form a barrier in front of her, blocking the incoming flame wave.
The other sky-prides and Prodigies were astonished by the battle.
“Is this the combat strength of two top ten Prodigies on the Heavenly God Leaderboard? It’s terrifying!”
“Yeah. Normal sky-prides can’t reach their level, even if they cultivate for their entire lives.”
While most of the cultivators were in awe, some sneaked a glance at the Heavenly Sword, wondering.
If that was how fierce the battle between the two top ten Prodigies was, what about the Heavenly Sword?
Rumor had it that the Heavenly Sword defeated Mo Wuji and Ji Feiyun.
His power was definitely up there with the top ten and might even rival the top three.
How terrifying would his powers be?
“I believe the battle that we deem astonishing is nothing to him,” one of the sky-prides exclaimed sentimentally.
“Look! Zhuo Ming is ready for his ultimate move!” someone cried.
A violet eye opened up on Zhuo Ming’s forehead.
There were strange runes in the eye, and it scared the sky-prides around the battlefield.
“Is that the Evil Eye from the Evil Eye Tribe?” Chu Kuangren looked intrigued.
There were countless tribes in the Central Heaven Universe, and every one had its own ultimate technique.
People of the Evil Eye Tribe were born with a strange Evil Eye on their forehead, and it could release an evil ray that was powerful and strange. It could even boost their strength, allowing them to challenge someone more powerful.
“Evil Eye, open! Heaven Earth Darkness!”
Zhuo Ming performed multiple strange hand seals, and the Evil Eye on his forehead released a strange energy fluctuation.
When struck by the energy fluctuation, Luo Xue’s vision was interrupted as she was thrown into eternal darkness. She could not locate Zhuo Ming anywhere.
Fortunately, Luo Xue had experience dealing with Zhuo Ming, so she was prepared to face something like that.
“Spirit Snow Sword, Sword Intent Daybreak!”
Her sword qi accumulated into sword intent and unleashed a spiritual snow sword attack, slashing the darkness in half.
That one attack lit up the darkness with light.
After blocking the Evil Eye’s power, Luo Xue’s sword intent rose to a new high. “Let’s end this battle with this!”
She pointed her sword up into the sky, and her sword intent gushed out.
A blizzard started to drown the realm. It was snowing heavily, and endless frosty sword intent spread across the battlefield.
Some Arch Gilded Immortals could even feel the chills in their bones.
“Frosty Snow Realm!” Luo Xue yelled.
She charged forward to Zhuo Ming and thrust her sword at him.
However, Zhuo Ming refused to step back as he rose to the sky with both hands enveloped in black flames. His Evil Eye on his forehead released a wicked ray, and it boosted his aura once more.
“Evil Flame Dragon Chant!”
The black flame manifested into a massive dragon that lunged toward Luo Xue.
Right before the two attacks clashed, Luo Xue lost her vision again, and her expression turned grim. Her sword intent had already weakened a little.
Bang!
After the clash, the blizzard faded.
Luo Xue was sent flying backward and crashing onto the ground. At the same time, the sword in her hand plunged into the ground, her face turned pale, and blood gushed from her mouth.
“Luo Xue, do you really think you can break my Evil Eye? Do you think I came unprepared?”
Zhuo Ming scoffed at the defeated Luo Xue. “Heaven Earth Darkness can put one into an illusion of darkness, and it’s divided into three levels. You could defeat me the last time only because I cultivated the first level, so now that I’ve cultivated the second level, it’s much more powerful than before.
“The Heaven Earth Darkness that you broke earlier was just my first level, and when our attacks clashed this time, it activated the second level of the Heaven Earth Darkness.”
Only then did Luo Xue realize what had happened. “I see. I’ve lost.”
She accepted the defeat wholeheartedly because there was no excuse.
“Now then…” Zhuo Ming rose into the sky and scanned over the crowd. When his gaze locked onto Chu Kuangren, he said loudly, “Heavenly Sword, now that Luo Xue has been defeated, you’re next. Do you dare to answer my challenge?”
