Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Heaven-Man Joint Strike_1 Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Heaven-Man Joint Strike_1 As his voice fell, Liusheng Chuntree swung Futsunomitama at Xu Fan.
The Sword Qi tore through the air, causing it to tremble and roll back in waves.
And the Sword Qi, like golden lightning, raced towards Xu Fan.
Xu Fan’s eyelids flicked open, a flash of astonishment in his eyes, vanished in an instant; the casual strike from his opponent had astonishing power.
He immediately swung the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon, unleashing a streak of Sword Qi, like a purple thunderbolt, colliding with it.
Instantly, a loud boom erupted as the gold and purple Sword Qi clashed, spilling over in all directions and causing chaos within several dozen meters—hurling stones and scattering dust everywhere.
The onlookers couldn’t help but inhale sharply at the sight; such an effortless move had produced such a terrifying spectacle.
...
If they were to get closer, they’d likely be killed by even the slightest touch of the Sword Qi.
Is this the power of a God Realm warrior?
It’s just too frightening.
The shock of the crowd came too soon; if they knew that this was merely the most basic probing by both parties, who knows what they would think.
With the probing over, the real exchange commenced immediately.
Swish!
Liusheng Chuntree took the initiative, brandishing the Divine Sword and slicing from one side.
The tip of the blade drew a perfect arc, but the Sword Qi was concealed, not wasting an iota of strength.
Xu Fan also unleashed the Chaos Primordial Opening Technique, and in an instant, robust energy churned violently through his body, his meridians blazed with unprecedented intensity.
The pressure from the Blind Swordsaint was overwhelming, leaving Xu Fan no room for carelessness; he went all out from the get-go, a streak of purple radiance bursting from him, catapulting his aura to the pinnacle in one leap.
The onlookers saw Xu Fan enveloped by the purple radiance while his heavy sword was wrapped in the coiling black Demonic Qi, the purple and black forming a stark contrast, adding a bizarre aspect to the scene.
Seeing Xu Fan’s imposing momentum, Liusheng Chuntree was taken aback, his movements speeding up.
“Come at me if you dare.”
Xu Fan roared, charging forward to meet the attack, his sword slashing out as well.
The Heavenly Fiend Great Demon carried roiling Demonic Qi, sweeping towards Liusheng Chuntree.
For Xu Fan, competing in the Sword Dao was an unwise move, matching his weakness against the strength of the Blind Swordsaint.
Hence, he still chose the method he was most proficient in—one force breaks all methods.
No matter how complex the changes, no matter how profound the moves, I will shatter them all with strength.
“Clang!”
The swords met, and the two warriors drew closer.
In that moment, the space around them quaked violently as the terrifying Sword Qi scattered in all directions, tearing through the void and flying into the distance.
Their exchange was swift, with Sword Qi crisscrossing as the sound of clashing swords was incessant.
They moved like agile monkeys and light swallows, clashing violently one moment and withdrawing instantly the next.
For a time, Sword Qi swept through the air and the sound of swords filled the space.
Their battlefield shifted repeatedly, from the ground to the mountain peak, from the peak to the night sky, and from the sky to piles of disorderly rocks.
Only a few of the Martial Kings among the onlookers could barely make out the fighters’ movements, with the rest just watching the excitement, seeing blurs of gold and purple light colliding at high speed, separating, and either chasing or fleeing.
In a short time, the pair had exchanged blows over a hundred times, yet neither had gained an upper hand.
Suddenly, Liusheng Chuntree pushed Xu Fan back and then swiftly retreated a hundred meters.
Settling his stance, he said solemnly, “I didn’t expect someone of your young age to possess such formidable strength.
I’m truly surprised.
However, that’s as far as it goes.”
“Now, I shall perform the ultimate technique I’ve immersed myself in for my entire life, the Heaven-Man Joint Strike!”
“Though it’s only one strike, its power is extremely rigid and strong, nothing can withstand it.”
“With this single strike, life and death will be decided, as will the victor.”
Having said that, Liusheng Chuntree swung his Divine Sword, and the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy swarmed towards it, entering the Divine Sword.
“Calling upon the power of heaven and earth again!”
Xu Fan watched coldly, a Heavenly Venerable—as a God Realm warrior, the most basic ability was to harness the energy of heaven and earth.
However, while calling upon the power of heaven and earth, some techniques were crude, others deep and profound.
Liusheng Chuntree’s technique could only be considered average.
Of course, although Xu Fan looked down upon the opponent’s superficial manipulation of the nature’s energy, he also wouldn’t underestimate him.
He immediately activated the Chaos Primordial Opening Technique and competed with the opponent for control over nature’s energy.
For a time, he indeed managed to seize quite a lot of it.
Normally, a cultivator at the early stages of the God Realm would absolutely not be able to overpower one at the peak of the God Realm in snatching nature’s energy, but Xu Fan’s use of his own spiritual energy and his understanding of nature’s spiritual energy far surpassed those of the cultivators in this world.
Moreover, he also possessed the wondrous technique of the Chaos Primordial Opening Technique; hence, when it came down to the ability to harness nature’s energy, Xu Fan was indeed slightly superior.
“Tsk, going for the big move right off the bat!”
“It seems, with this sword coming into play, one of them is bound to die.”
“My Sword Saint is invincible in the whole world, who can compete with him?”
“…”
In an instant, everyone quickly expressed their opinions, but their eyes never left the two combatants, gaping wide open the whole time.
At this moment, Xu Yixue’s heart was racing with nervousness, her face full of deep worry, and she was very afraid.
Soon, Liusheng Chuntree also gathered enough nature’s energy.
His previously white eyes suddenly had blood trickling down, and the Divine Sword Futsunomitama, having absorbed a massive amount of nature’s energy, surged in power, soared into the sky, and slashed directly at Xu Fan in a meteoric dive.
Instantly, a golden Sword Qi, with terrifying might, broke through the spatial barrier and charged straight for Xu Fan.
This sword, forsaking all fanciness and cunning, took the direct and forthright approach, using an irresistible force. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Moreover, the Sword Qi firmly locked onto Xu Fan’s aura, leaving him nowhere to hide.
This move was far superior to the many sword techniques used before.
This must be the Sword Intent of the Blind Swordsaint.
“Such a terrifying Sword Qi, I’m afraid the kid from Yan Country named Xu Wufang is doomed to escape,” one observer commented.
“Oh my, so powerful.
I’m over a hundred meters away from the Sword Qi and I still feel a stabbing pain on my face, too terrifying.
Worthy of the old Sword Saint indeed.”
“Haha! The God Realm powerhouse from Yan Country is about to fall to our Island Country’s Sword Saint.
So satisfying, extremely satisfying!”
The many samurai and ninjas of the Island Country all showed faces full of pleasure and satisfaction.
Meanwhile, the few Ancient Martial Artists from Yan Country wore ugly expressions, feeling great regret.
As for the cultivators from other nations, they were simply there for the spectacle.
While everyone was still reeling with shock, Xu Fan struck back.
He too swung his sword, the move simple, releasing a purple and fiercely bright Sword Qi.
His sword, in terms of might, naturally did not match the Heaven-Man Joint Strike of the Sword Saint; thus when people saw it, they all understood in their hearts that the one named Xu Wufang was doomed to lose.
Even the Hongmen group couldn’t help but clench their fists tightly, worrying for Xu Fan.
However, Xu Fan himself was not worried at all.
The energy contained in his sword was no less than that of his opponent’s, and moreover, the nature’s spiritual energy that it enveloped secretly harbored an overwhelming Demonic Qi.
The spiritual energy was but a disguise, the Demonic Qi hidden within so when it truly came down to it, it was not necessarily inferior to the Heaven-Man Joint Strike.
As to who would win or lose, no one knew.
Boom!
As the two Sword Qi collided with a thunderous roar, like a spark hitting Earth, they exploded with countless shockwaves, sweeping in all directions.
“Oh my God, run for it!”
“Retreat, quickly!”
At that moment, many people saw the bad turn and took to their heels.
Those spectators who were a bit closer, if careless, were knocked down by the energy shockwaves and directly sustained serious injuries, spewing blood.
The massive shockwaves easily enveloped both combatants, and for a moment, everyone lost sight of them.
But then an unusual noise came from within, followed by a figure flying backward out of the surging shockwaves, spitting fresh blood, in a horrific state of grave injury.
Many turned their gazes toward that figure.
“Husband!
Waaah!”
When Xu Yixue saw who it was, she let out a wail and started crying bitterly, her cries heart-wrenching.
Wang Xiaolong and his group also had their expressions drastically change, looking incredibly grim.
Xu Fan, defeated?!
