Chapter 702: Sword Heart Difficult to Cut Through the Dark Sky

The sky and the earth were in chaos, and from time to time, a sword light like a swimming dragon would appear. Often, with one slash, it could break through the sky and point directly at Tao Xianxu behind him.

Judging from the current situation alone, Li Jianyi does have the upper hand. Although Tao Xianxu can reverse yin and yang, Li Jianyi is also proficient in the art of sword transformation, so he poses no threat to him for the time being.

However, Tao Xianxu had rich experience in fighting. Seeing that Li Jianyi had mastered the art of sword transformation in order to deal with him, he simply stopped seeking a reversal and instead fixed his inspiration to double the consumption of Li Jianyi's energy.

In this way, as long as he can hold his ground in the front, he can wait for the right moment to strike and win with one strike...

Li Jianyi secretly felt something was wrong and immediately sought reform.

He took inexplicable steps and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed into the area a thousand feet away. For a Nascent Soul cultivator, this was as close as a stone's throw away.

But after hearing a loud shout, a sharp sword light suddenly flashed, like a thunderbolt, tearing the black sky and white earth apart, and slashing from a distance!
Tao Xianxu raised his head to look at the sky, frowned slightly, and the mysterious energy behind him flashed, and a formation diagram flashed faintly.

A black and white light burst out from it like a dragon raising its head, attacking across the sky and blocking the rainbow-like sword light for a moment.

Li Jian let out a light exclamation when he saw this, and he would not let the other party get what he wanted.

"rise!"

The next moment, a dazzling light flashed in his eyes, the top of his head opened wide, and his natal sword infant jumped out.

When the sword infant first appeared, the world was suddenly filled with endless sharp edges.

The black and white light only lasted for a moment before it was pierced through by the sharp edge, leaving thousands of holes. The whistling sword wind blew past, and it turned into smoke and dissipated.

Seeing this, Tao Xianxu was also shocked. After thinking about it, he shook his body violently, and his natal infant also jumped out.

Unlike the opponent's sword infant, his Nascent Soul was entirely illusory, with only a black and white symbol between his eyebrows, which was the manifestation of the Yin and Yang Dao that he mastered.

At the same time, no one noticed that in the mysterious light behind him, the formation diagram quietly rose into the air and merged with the Black Sky...

Li Jianyi's eyes flickered, but the sword still gleamed.

Tao Xianxu's mind moved, and the talisman between his Nascent Soul's eyebrows suddenly lit up, and a black and white light shot out from it, like a thin thread, extremely fast, and collided with the sword light in an instant!
It was as if two long swords collided in mid-air, making a sound of metal and sending out clusters of sparks.

With just this one touch, the flying black and white light not only forced the sword light back, but also forced it to move forward, rushing all the way to Li Jianyi.

"What a trick!"

He did not dodge or evade, but raised the long sword in his hand to block and push, but heard a slight sound. When he looked again, the sword in his hand had broken.

Although his long sword was made of ordinary material, it was tempered by the sword heart and was as good as a spiritual sword in his hand. It broke at the first touch, which showed how sharp the black and white light was.

He raised a single eyebrow and exclaimed, "Xuan Yang Refining Yin Essence? Such a treasure is enough to create a magical sword, but you use it to practice magic?"

Tao Xianxu laughed heartily upon hearing this and said loudly: "I don't practice swordsmanship, so I should use it to practice magic!"

Li Jian shook his head and sighed: "Exorbitant natural resources..."

Xuan Yang's Yin essence is one of the best sword-making materials in this world. Just adding a little bit of it to an ordinary sword can make it sharp and unstoppable. However, Xian Jianchi naturally disapproves of Tao Xianxu's excessive use of it to cultivate Taoism...

Tao Xianxu was not annoyed. After realizing that the formation diagram had been completed, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Fellow Daoist Li, you practiced the sword transformation method specifically for me, but you didn't know that I also prepared a method for you. Be careful!"

With a shout, the black sky curtain suddenly opened up a crack, and a tiny light appeared from it, and then all around it flashed one after another.

Li Jian looked up and saw that the boundless mysterious energy in the sky was evolving into the innate state. For a moment, it filled the sky and the earth and rolled towards him, as if it wanted to swallow him up in one fell swoop.

His expression tensed, and he casually tossed the broken sword aside. He then extended his hand, aligning his sword finger with his own, and unleashed a lotus-like blade. He didn't even attempt to retreat, but instead charged forward. This was what set him apart from ordinary sword cultivators, who all cultivated their own natal swords, treating their spirit swords as their lives.

However, he had been fighting with an ordinary sword since the beginning of his cultivation, and all he had cultivated throughout his life was to hone his swordsmanship.

Therefore, the severance of the sword would undoubtedly reduce the combat power of ordinary sword cultivators by half, but for him, it had little impact...

Everyone exclaimed in amazement and praised him repeatedly. Xian Jianchi could only count on one hand a sword cultivator who had broken free from the limitations of the sword.

Chen Mu on the periphery nodded secretly and also praised, but he was not praising Yan Jianxin, but Li Jianyi's choice in the difficult situation.

Li Jianyi's attack failed and he had already penetrated deep into the enemy's formation. If he fled in a hurry, it would only give the enemy a chance to chase him. It would be better to put aside all worries and fight to the death!
If I succeed, I will break the rules and escape. If I fail, I can fail beautifully...

The overwhelming mysterious energy pressed down, gathering the power of the formation and surrounding Li Jianyi.

A ray of sword light rushed left and right, and every time it was about to break the spell, Tao Xianxu's natal infant would flash between his eyebrows, suppressing Li Jianyi's attack.

This went on for more than ten times. Li Jianyi finally ran out of ideas. He shook his head and sighed, stopped attacking, and took the initiative to admit defeat.

Han Yuan Zhenjun remained unmoved. After dispersing the restrictions on the platform, he called out, "The winner is Tao Xianxu from the Black and White Dao Palace!"

The sound is rumbling and spreads between heaven and earth.

The expressions of thousands of monks were different, and there was no need to explain their various expressions.

Before leaving the stage, Li Jianyi suddenly paused and whispered to Tao Xianxu, "Do you have the confidence to defeat that cultivator from Beiyuan?"

Tao Xianxu's eyes flashed, and he nodded gently, saying, "Brother Li, don't worry. The champion of the sword fighting competition belongs to Zhongzhou."

"That's good..."

Li Jian replied and turned to leave.

Master Han Yuan raised his eyes to look at the sky. He had wanted to decide the winner today, but after the previous farce, he was afraid that it would not be possible.

After informing the other True Lords, he loudly announced, "Today's battle is over, tomorrow we'll compete for the championship!"

The long bell rang at the right time, but thousands of monks showed no intention of leaving for a while.

It was nothing special. Putting today's farce aside, the winner would be decided tomorrow, and one of them was from another continent. This was such a rare situation that it immediately sparked discussions among the crowd...

After Chen Mu and Dudu gestured to each other, they turned around and returned to the hall.

Looking at his tall figure, the Jiang ancestor had a cold and gloomy expression and said nothing.

Behind him, an elder from the Jiang clan stood up, approached cautiously, and asked indignantly, "Ancestor, are we really going to let this matter go like this? Zhengchu is the future head of our Jiang clan!"

The Jiang clan patriarch frowned, his eyes flickering. After a long silence, he said in a cold voice, "Of course, this matter won't be settled so easily... You all should go back first!"

"Ancestor—"

The ancestor of the Jiang family just waved his hand, signaling them not to say more.

After everyone left, he shook his head and thought to himself, "Why would the Dragon Palace speak for him? Is there something I don't know..."
