Chapter 870: Come Out! (2/2, begging for monthly votes)

The instant the two collided, the ice sword only paused for a moment, and then—

Bang bang bang bang bang!!

The five parallel ice swords unleashed by 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng were, almost at the same instant, directly shattered by Fang Yue's Empty Ice Sword Art!

And this time, the ice sword in Fang Yue's hand… was completely intact!

"How could this be?!"

【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng stared at Fang Yue in disbelief.

Those five parallel sword Qi from earlier, though they hadn't reached the level of him wielding a sword personally, in terms of power, were already more than five times stronger than the previous single-finger sword Qi!

Yet this time, they were shattered head-on by Fang Yue!

"You brat… what sword art did you actually use just now! Why is it that in that instant, I sensed so many chaotic, disorganized sword arts on you at once! As if those sword arts were layered together, executed with the same sword move!"

Although 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng's character might be nothing special, his attainments in Sword Dao truly deserve the title of Grandmaster.

The secret behind Fang Yue's Empty Ice Sword Art was actually partially guessed by him in one go.

And after 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng carefully recalled it, his brow furrowed even deeper, and his expression turned strange.

Because, he discovered something.

That was, the vast, chaotic sword art aura Fang Yue had just erupted with… seemed to all be sword arts that his own disciple Tian Ruichi knew!

Could it be that this guy… this guy knew Tian Ruichi's secret!

【Wood Soul Sword Embryo】, that was his exclusive property, no one was allowed to touch it!

【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng's expression finally changed—it was a serious one.

"I originally planned to deal with you casually and be done with it, but now it seems, I need to make your soul scatter and body perish before I can feel at ease!"

As he spoke, 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng, for the first time, slowly extended his right hand and gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist!

"Feel honored, because, you have the chance… to witness the might of 【Heavenly Sword】!"

Almost at the instant 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng's right hand gripped the sword hilt.

His entire aura, his Aura, all changed in an instant.

Like a sharp sword leaving its sheath, like a blade fully revealed!

In that instant, Fang Yue was overawed by that Aura, and for a moment lost himself, feeling as if the entire world had lost its color, and between heaven and earth, only 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng remained before his eyes.

The sword slowly left its sheath.

Even the hissing friction between the blade and the scabbard carried an intimidating Sword Intent, causing one's heart and spirit to tremble.

The moment 【Heavenly Sword】 was completely drawn from its scabbard, Fang Yue seemed to see an illusion before his eyes, as if a massive, invisible Sword Intent transformed into a phantom sword body, soaring into the sky, piercing through the clouds, standing above them, looking down upon all living beings!

When Fang Yue came back to his senses, he realized everything from before had merely been an illusion.

It was the terrifying Sword Intent directly affecting his mind and spirit, producing some kind of hallucination.

Now looking toward Heavenly Sword again.

The sword was still that sword, but that terrifying Sword Intent had vanished without a trace.

But Fang Yue understood that the terrifying Sword Intent was still there, it had merely been completely contained, hidden within the sword body!

If one were slain by this sword…恐怕 even 【Time Rewind】 would find it hard to reverse!

【Nonsense! With me here, there's nothing that can't be reversed!】

【The great Lord Parchment, who just finished eating the Gold Stone, is super strong right now!! Hehe!】

Fang Yue: …

Although he really wanted to say a few words to the parchment, thinking that he would still need to borrow the parchment's power later to fight 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng, Fang Yue couldn't help but swallow the thought back down.

【That's right! Don't say it out loud! The great and noble Lord Parchment loves hearing nice words! I suggest you do this from now on, just keep praising the great and noble Lord Parchment and that's it! Hehe!】

…This guy, he's pushing his luck now!

Ignoring the parchment, Fang Yue suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and looked at 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng ahead with a solemn expression.

Strangely, 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng seemed to be communicating with Heavenly Sword.

"It's truly been a long time since I last drew a sword… unfortunately, this opponent cannot satisfy you. But you can be patient, Heavenly Sword, I've already found a suitable sword-feeder, that Supreme Sect Master of the Extreme Ice Sect will definitely be to your taste!"

Buzz buzz!

As if understanding human speech, Heavenly Sword's body actually trembled twice, responding to 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng's words.

Only now did Fang Yue notice, he had been so busy feeling the might of Heavenly Sword that he hadn't realized… Heavenly Sword's aura had a strange feeling to it!

This aura was different from ordinary uncanny objects.

How to put it, in Fang Yue's perception, Heavenly Sword's aura was, compared to uncanny objects, closer to a living uncanny being!

In fact, if he closed his eyes and simply used his aura to sense it, he would feel that what 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng held in his hand was not a sword, but an uncanny being!

This was different from the parchment.

Although the parchment was special and strange, it still belonged to the category of uncanny objects.

But the thing before him was truly very hard to define as an uncanny being or an uncanny object.

【Don't you dare compare the great and noble Lord Parchment with that kind of thing!】

【The great and noble Lord Parchment is one-of-a-kind! The strongest!!】

Be quiet! I'm about to engage in a life-and-death battle here, you be serious too, ready to support me at any moment.

【Hehehe! Leave your back to me, Lord Parchment! Hehe! Just kidding, I'm super strong right now!】

Fang Yue still wanted to correct the parchment's casual attitude, but he saw 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng already walking toward him with Heavenly Sword in hand!

"Yese Liming, I have to admit, your talent surpasses that of my stupid disciple, yet you don't cherish it yourself. I'm giving you one last chance now, submit to me, or… die!"

Hearing these words, Fang Yue couldn't help but laugh, a wide grin breaking across his face!

As his smile appeared, Fang Yue also began to step forward, walking head-on toward 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng without the slightest retreat!

"The gap at the first stage, I already know it now. It's time to test the gap at the second stage!"

In 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng's eyes, a flash of shock suddenly appeared.

Because as Fang Yue walked toward him, Fang Yue's eyes, at a speed visible to the naked eye, rapidly dyed pitch-black, spreading to the whites, dyeing the entire pair of eyes black!

At the same time, behind Fang Yue, a black wheel slowly rose, forming a correspondence with the black small disc above his head.

And with the appearance of the black wheel, the aura on Fang Yue's body also changed from an ordinary Human-rank martial artist's aura to a profound and unfathomable feeling; even with 【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng's realm, he could not probe Fang Yue's current strength situation.

It was as if all information about Fang Yue was suddenly wrapped in a thick fog, and only by risking himself could the truth be known.

"This is?!"

【Heavenly Sword】 Jian Wufeng's pupils contracted, he stopped his steps, and his expression turned grim.

"So it's a Phoenix Organization experimental subject, a failed product of the 【Pseudo-Spirit Root】, no wonder you have such talent, no wonder you have such confidence, daring to be arrogant with me with just this bit of strength."
