Chapter 432 - 235: Sword Shocks the Thunderstorm!
Huo Yuandi appeared almost crazed, relentlessly attacking, fully focused on defeating his formidable rival, He Kongyue, completely unaware of the blazing sword momentum rising at the other end of the cave.
But He Kongyue noticed.
A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes. He wanted to signal You Su not to act impulsively, as he had his own ways to deal with the malevolent Sword Cultivator before him.
Yet, he clearly felt You Su’s determination as You Su approached, his entire being condensing an intense Sword Intent!
He Kongyue could tell that You Su must have realized something earlier, and this sword at this moment was You Su’s way of proving his newfound understanding.
This sword strike must be executed!
He Kongyue furrowed his ink-black brows and made his decision; he would assist You Su.
Even though he was only at the Spirit Platform Upper Realm, and the opponent he was about to challenge was at the Feather Transformation Realm!
Yet that aura of unparalleled confidence radiating from this young man made people involuntarily want to believe in him!
He Kongyue let out a dull groan, his lips moving swiftly, fingers flying in incantation; two gigantic hands, nearly three meters long, emerged from his shoulder blades. Their skin was snow-white, delicate, and translucent, seemingly capable of reflecting starlight, making it hard to look directly at them.
He Kongyue looked as though he was being held in the hands of a Divine Maiden statue, exuding an aura of extraordinary holiness.
The two jade hands, under He Kongyue’s control, managed to firmly restrain Huo Yuandi’s Mad Sword without breaking.
He Kongyue’s purpose was simple: to erode Huo Yuandi’s power with all his might!
At this moment, Huo Yuandi’s wild intent could not be hindered; instead, it fueled his even more frenzied rage.
Though the sword was wild, it did not mean it swung blindly or without order. During the deadlock with the attached jade hands, he gradually gained the upper hand.
Huo Yuandi, worthy of being the second senior brother of the Wild Sword Sect, was wild and unruly. Before joining the Wild Sword Sect, he lived as a mountain bandit. At that time, unaware of his cultivation talent, his demeanor perfectly matched the Mad Sword Sect, earning the Sect Leader’s favor, who took him under his wing, and from then on, his cultivation advanced rapidly. Even if there were occasional rumors of his personal immorality, the Sect Leader chose to turn a blind eye, which only exacerbated his wild nature.
He Kongyue gritted his teeth. Just as the jade hands were about to fail, a fierce gleam appeared in his eyes, and he retreated several steps before beginning another incantation.
"Not even your He Family’s Secret Technique, the Six Derivations Void Body Skill, can stop me. What other technique could block me?!"
Huo Yuandi’s whites of the eyes were bloodshot, yet the pupils remained pitch black, indicating he hadn’t lost his rationality.
If one hadn’t reached the Feather Transformation Realm, a cultivator’s Profound Qi wouldn’t be able to exit the body, let alone transform feathers and fly. But this Six Derivations Void Body Skill allowed He Kongyue, at Water Condensation Perfection, to forcibly condense two gigantic hands behind him. Such control ability was beyond the reach of most Lower Feather Transformation Realm cultivators.
Huo Yuandi rested his broad sword on his shoulder, appearing full of confidence, and sneered:
"You so-called Immortals just like to hide behind those fancy skills, nothing but cowards afraid of blades and swords!"
Hearing this, He Kongyue’s lips curled in disdain, and the noble son ranked among the top three in Central Continent spat out a curse unbefitting his noble demeanor:
"What an idiot!"
With those words spat out, the incantation in his hands ceased, yet the gigantic jade hands attached behind him started to move again!
Miss Fu’s beautiful eyes instantly widened, for she saw that the rapidly changing movements of the jade hands were imitating the skill He Kongyue had just cast with his own hands!
She suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility!
He Kongyue intended to use the conjured body behind him to further amplify the skill he had just employed!
With Jade White Profound Qi, the skill already exhibited double its normal strength, yet he was going to amplify it further?!
Huo Yuandi also sensed the anomaly. Surprisingly, he felt a threat from a Condensed Water Realm cultivator...
No longer daring to underestimate his opponent, he gripped his sword with both hands and charged toward He Kongyue with a ferocity at its peak.
"I’m going to kill you!!"
Huo Yuandi’s entire body surged with Sword Qi, and the broad sword in his hand seemed to transform into King Yama’s butcher knife, ensconced in blood and wind.
Outside the cave, the gathering storm clouds seemed to be drawn by him, converging at the mountaintop, where lightning crackled like frenzied pythons!
And He Kongyue’s skill finally took shape!
It was a pristine white arrow of light, swift as a fleeting steed!
This skill wasn’t meant to stop Huo Yuandi’s sword; rather, Huo Yuandi’s sword should be finding a way to block this skill!
But who was Huo Yuandi? His wild intent also reached its peak, and he had no intention of dodging!
The wild wind and rain of the Mad Sword, unleash!
A line of blood flew straight out of the cave; a massive gash appeared on Huo Yuandi’s left shoulder, with visible bone and flesh.
Yet he felt no pain, standing firm with his sword, his face twisted.
In contrast, He Kongyue’s figure was violently flung backward, caught by You Su just before hitting the stone wall.
Dressed in a frail scholar’s garb, He Kongyue’s face was now even paler, with several parts of his white robe torn, revealing the treasure armor beneath, glinting coldly.
But even with this top-tier armor shielding him, he couldn’t suppress it, the surge in his throat spilling out into a mouthful of blood, staining You Su’s forearm red.
"Back when I was a bandit, I loved slaughtering pampered pigs like you the most!"
Huo Yuandi looked down on them with a mix of disdain and infatuation for the superior posture he despised yet envied.
"Cough... Are you... alright?"
Still spitting blood, all of He Kongyue’s once pale lower jaw was now reddened, but he insisted on giving You Su a glance.
