Boom!
With the collision of a sword and a flower petal, space instantly collapsed like a mountain.
Boundless dark light raged, and the intense brilliance caused everyone to cover their faces and evade. When the light gradually dimmed, everyone looked at the two figures.
Li Xuan and Zu Letian remained unchanged, but their expressions became increasingly grave.
This battle, the two were evenly matched!
Zu Letian glanced at Li Xuan, a trace of cold malevolence flashing in his eyes, and then he formed seals with his hands again.
"I bloom in darkness, like a flower before dawn. All spirits sacrifice!"
As Zu Letian chanted and formed seals, Li Xuan felt the spiritual energy around him surging towards Zu Letian at an terrifying speed.
Zu Letian's aura, at this moment, climbed again. Vaguely, it already had the aura of breaking through to the Dao One realm.
"Cannot let him continue like this!"
Li Xuan immediately saw that Zu Letian was performing some secret technique to enhance his strength. With a thought, the Master Sword in his hand vibrated at high frequency. In less than twenty breaths, Li Xuan's face turned pale.
However, Zu Letian had also noticed the change in the Master Sword in Li Xuan's hand and accelerated its absorption speed.
"Go!"
As Li Xuan's voice fell, the Master Sword hummed and shot directly towards Zu Letian. Terrifying sword energy ravaged, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
Even Zu Letian's face showed a hint of rigidity at this moment. Then, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and a stream of blood spurted out. However, the blood did not fall to the ground but floated eerily in front of Zu Letian, and then began to writhe rapidly.
"Spirit Devouring Technique, All Spirits Protection!"
Zu Letian let out a low roar, and the blood in front of him instantly merged into a talisman, directly transforming into a blood-red barrier that enveloped Zu Letian.
As soon as the barrier appeared, the Master Sword struck it with a deafening roar.
Clang!
The violent impact shook the earth violently. Like a tsunami, it stirred up waves of furious shockwaves.
Wherever the aftershocks passed, they were leveled. This forced the disciples of the Xuan Sect and Saint Sect, who had already retreated hundreds of miles, to retreat again.
Crack!
At the same time, on Zu Letian's blood-red barrier, a faint crack, accompanied by a crisp sound, appeared. Zu Letian's pupils shrank sharply, clearly not expecting it to be like this.
"Zu Letian's barrier is broken!" Everyone present was no ordinary person and naturally saw the crack on Zu Letian's blood-red barrier.
Especially Zhu Juncai and Shi Hongyi, their faces showed surprise. The disciples of the Saint Sect, at this moment, were somewhat flustered.
"Keep a close eye on the Saint Sect members, make sure they don't escape!" As the disciples of the Saint Sect began to stir, Zhu Juncai quietly commanded. Shi Hongyi and more than ten other disciples in green robes nodded, and their minds began to pay attention.
Crack!
As the thunderous spheres continued to erode, the blood-red barrier around Zu Letian seemed unable to withstand it. Below the previous crack, countless more fine cracks appeared. In an instant, it spread all over like a spider web.
Boom!
As the blood-red barrier shattered, a blood-red mushroom cloud, carrying terrifying spiritual power, slanted out. Wherever it passed, it turned into a black hole. The terrifying sword intent, with no obstacle to resist, struck Zu Letian's chest.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Zu Letian's body fell heavily towards the ground behind him.
"Won?"
Seeing this, Xi Chuyun's face was filled with joy. The power of Zu Letian was so immense that even Xi Chuyun, who had retreated hundreds of miles, felt the terror of the battle.
He did not expect Li Xuan to break through Zu Letian's protective barrier and even inflict injuries on him. Now that Zu Letian had fallen into the earth, he was probably no match for Li Xuan.
"Judging by this, it seems Junior Brother Li Xuan has indeed won." Zhu Juncai nodded slightly. Suddenly, his expression changed again: "Hmm? Something is wrong!"
Indeed!
As soon as Zhu Juncai's words fell, in the eyes of everyone, Zu Letian, who should have been heavily injured, slowly flew up from the ground. Judging by his aura, he seemed as if nothing had happened.
"As expected, you have some tricks. Moreover, your strike to my chest really hurts. Since I entered the Saint Sect, I have never tasted such pain before. Tell me, should I thank you properly?"
Although Zu Letian's face was a little pale, his words showed no signs of spiritual energy disorder, instead, it made Li Xuan feel a strong sense of crisis.
Sensing this, Li Xuan's nerves tensed up. The Master Sword in his hand began to move rapidly again.
"I have to admit, your physique is truly resilient. Under such power, you can still speak. That previous strike must have been blocked by the armor you're wearing, right?"
Li Xuan's heart moved, and he noticed the silver armor exposed beneath Zu Letian's clothes. The armor had now lost its luster, clearly having lost its effectiveness after blocking the previous strike for Zu Letian.
"If it weren't for this Bright Light Armor, how could I have taken a blow from you? And do you think you can truly harm me with your means?"
"This time, I will hold nothing back. I believe that by slaughtering the future Saint Son of your Xuan Sect, the rewards from the sect will not be less than my losses today."
"So, rest in peace!"
Zu Letian's voice grew colder. A mocking smile played on his lips, and he suddenly pointed forward with his right hand.
The sky and earth, which had been calm, instantly seemed to be pulled. In an instant, a fierce wind erupted.
Not only that, but the extremely pure spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged wildly towards Zu Letian's location. In the eyes of everyone, Zu Letian's body rapidly grew larger.
"Not good! It's a forbidden technique of the Saint Sect!"
Although Zhu Juncai was not a Saint Son, he recognized the divine ability Zu Letian was displaying. His face changed drastically upon seeing it.
"Blood Rage Heavenly Condemnation!"
Before Xi Chuyun, who was beside Zhu Juncai, could ask, Zu Letian had already launched his attack.
Zu Letian pointed at Li Xuan from afar, and the spiritual energy gathered in his body rippled outwards. In addition, Zu Letian bit his tongue again, and a drop of vital blood shot out.
The sky instantly turned blood-red. Countless red lights descended like heavenly tribulations.
"Retreat quickly!" Zhu Juncai and others shouted urgently upon seeing this.
At this moment, there was no time to consider whether the Saint Sect disciples would take the opportunity to escape. If they were stained by this blood rain, even those with the Dao Fusion realm strength would be instantly gravely injured or killed.
"Indeed, the people of the Saint Sect are not easy to deal with." Looking at the sky that had changed color, Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. Then, with a thought, he unleashed the Carefree Steps. As he moved, he dodged all the descending red lights.
As the red lights became denser, even with his Carefree Steps, Li Xuan was almost hit. Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, and his gaze slowly firmed.
"It seems I can only do it one more time." Li Xuan thought, and his figure stopped.
"Sword Stacking Technique, Manifest!"
