Chapter 156

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

The whole square quickly went into silence.

It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Many inwardly exclaimed at the duel.

Su Mo finally encountered a disciple of the Sky Alliance!

Addressed as the top swordsman of Outer Gate, Li Jiandong’s swordplay was swift and fierce, which rendered absolute strength beyond all doubt.

Li Jiandong was even expected to enter the top three in Outer Disciple Competition this year.

Could Su Mo win Li Jiandong, who ranked fourth in the Outer Gate?

Lots of disciples grew secretly excited and looked forward to the next duel.

Swish!

The cold-faced Li Jiandong carried a long sword on his back and stepped first into the fighting ring.

Following Li Jiandong, Su Mo rose up and went into the fighting ring too.

“Su Mo, I’m going to kill you!” Li Jiandong coldly said.

“Well, provided you’re able to kill me!”

Su Mo sneered.

Su Mo slowly drew the Black-dark Sword from his back and said, “I’ve heard you’re the top swordsman of Outer Gate, don’t let me down.”

Upon hearing this, Li Jiandong smiled and said, “I won’t disappoint you. It’ll be an honor for you to die under my sword!”

They at once kept silent and stared at each other.

Both of the two activated their respective essence, qi, and spirit to the peak status.

They did not get any approval from the First Elder. Needless to say, the Sky Alliance and Su Mo were absolutely irreconcilable.

Whoosh!

Li Jiandong suddenly flashed toward Su Mo and drew close to him in the next instant.

A cold light abruptly shone from Li Jiandong’s unsheathed sword, which was so chilling that even the air turned calm and quiet, causing no resistance at all.

So fast!

On the Spectator Stand, Wang Hui grew anxious and began to worry about Su Mo.

Su Mo remained calm and stabbed his sword at the point of Li Jiandong’s sword. A black sword radiance looked like a viper flying out of its hole.

Ding!

The points of both swords met, full of genuine Qi and dazzling sparks.

A blast gushing from their swords was shot to both sides.

In the next moment, Li Jiandong wielded his long sword in a flawless arc and stabbed at Su Mo’s waist.

Whoosh!

Su Mo whisked several steps to dodge the attack, and meanwhile, he brandished his Black-dark Sword, striking a ray of bright sword Qi toward Li Jiandong.

Li Jiandong swayed his long sword to smash the coming sword Qi and once again stabbed at Su Mo.

Ding! Ding! Ding…

The sword Qi ceaselessly crossed each other, causing chilling radiances and sharp clangs.

Both Su Mo and Li Jiandong sped up to their limits, and in the blink of an eye, they stabbed another few strikes.

Su Mo felt his blood surging. He had never met such an excellent swordsman before.

Li Jiandong’s swordsmanship proved to be excellent, fierce, and slashing.

Swordsmanship and swordplay were totally different.

Swordsmanship, also called sword skills, was about sword technique.

Although Su Mo had cultivated Lv 3 of the Divine Wind Swordplay which could generate formidable attacks, he did not excel in swordsmanship.

However, Li Jiandong displayed “speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness” to the fullest in his swordsmanship.

Su Mo thus regarded this duel as a lesson for him to brush up on his swordsmanship.

Despite Li Jiandong’s superiority over Su Mo in swordsmanship, Su Mo was familiar with the characteristics of the wind. This was due to his cultivation in Divine Wind Swordplay. Therefore Su Mo was not slower than Li Jiandong and could easily keep up with his attacks.

After a little while, the two were on the par and there was no clear winner.

“It’s awesome!”

“Too exciting!”

“Li Jiandong deserves to be the top swordsman of Outer Gate. His swordsmanship is so excellent!”

“Su Mo is great too, they’re tying it up.”

There arose many discussions. Even some low-level disciples knew well the critical state though they could not clearly catch their moves.

Unlike a swordsman, a bladesman was supposed to exert expansive saber momentum, which was extremely domineering.

While an expert in swordsmanship usually could defeat or even kill his rival with only one stab.

Li Jiandong was obviously an outstanding swordsman.

In the ring, Li Jiandong swiftly waved his arms into many shadows and in a flash, stabbed out hundreds of times. Brilliant sword rays rapidly flew toward Su Mo one wave after another.

With both hands on the long sword, Su Mo maneuvered the sword Qi and smashed the oncoming sword rays.

Swoosh!

The two were still on par after 100 to 200 strikes. Suddenly Li Jiandong leaped back and kept a distance from Su Mo.

“Su Mo, I’ve to admit you’re something!”

Li Jiandong added, “But I’m going to kill you anyway! Now it’s the end of our game!”

Su Mo sneered at him and said, “He Yangjun and Yi Xiaoguang said the very same words, but they’re both dead.”

“You’re tired of living!”

Killing desires lit up Li Jiandong’s eyes, and an overwhelming sword Qi emitted from his body.

“Sky-splitting Swordsmanship— Sword Splitting the Sky!”

Sharp sword Qi with penetrating power was swiftly thrown at Su Mo.

“It’s time to end it!”

Su Mo composed himself and directly rushed to the oncoming sword Qi.

He turned himself into several residual shadows and instantly stabbed three times with the glaring Black-dark Sword in hand.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The sword radiance tore up the oncoming sword Qi, and in a moment, Su Mo was before Li Jiandong.

“It’s time for you to die!”

“Amazing Chopping Technique of Wind Devil!”

Su Mo bellowed and released golden light all over. The Black-dark Sword was transformed into a black lightning, which blew up the gales and held the air in awe.

“You’re way too weak to kill me!”

Li Jiandong growled and stabbed back at the Black-dark Sword.

Subsequently, the two long swords violently collided.

Li Jiandong turned ghastly pale at once.

Clang!

With a clang, the sword in Li Jiandong’s hand broke.

Su Mo’s stab was extremely domineering. Abundant genuine Qi came out of the four Spiritual Spirals, which was comparable to the human body strength that a martial artist at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm would have. With the most powerful stroke in the Great Completion of Swordplay of Wind Devil and the 5,000-pound black-dark heavy sword, this stroke proved to be awfully devastating.

The sword that Li Jiandong was holding was of Medium Lv 2. Although it was a great weapon, it was broken into two pieces.

The Black-dark Sword was stabbed down, swift as a lightning, directly at Li Jiandong.

Whoosh!

A black light slid through Li Jiandong. The skin-splitting and flesh-breaking sound froze everyone’s blood.

Whoosh!

Su Mo withdrew the sword radiance and stood straight, looking coldly at the motionless Li Jiandong.

“You’re no longer the top swordsman of Outer Gate,” Su Mo flatly said.

After Su Mo said this, Li Jiandong’s body ruptured.

A bloodline extended from Li Jiandong’s shoulder to his waist.

Bang!

In the next instant, Li Jiandong fell down to the ground and was split into two. The fighting ring was tinged by his blood.

To cut a person into two was rather bloody.

Hiss!

Gasps were heard all around.

The Outer Disciples were again shocked.

Powerful! Domineering! Relentless!

These were the only impressions the spectators got from Su Mo.

Li Jiandong, who ranked fourth in the outer gate, was killed.

From then on, Su Mo took over to be the top swordsman of the Outer Gate.

Nangong Linjue turned ghastly pale and clenched his fists with a chill in his eyes.

Duan Bingye had never paid enough attention to Su Mo, but now she looked grim as well. Her chill froze the air.

In the distant pavilion, Duan Jingtian’s mood swang for the first time, contrary to his previous calm look.

A subtle expression flashed by in his intimidating eyes.
