I Have a Compass for Opportunity

That was sword qi that even Foundation Establishment sword cultivators may not fully comprehend.

Throughout the Inner Sect of Five Extremes Mountain, counting those in Foundation Establishment, there are no more than three Foundation Establishment sword cultivators who comprehend sword qi.

In the current Outer Sect of Five Extremes Mountain, no one in the Qi Cultivation Realm has comprehended sword qi yet. The appearance of Liou Yuan broke the realm’s barrier where no one from the Outer Sect could comprehend sword qi!

Xu Hetong, who had just been injured by the Lion’s Roar Spell boosted by the Star Wave Spirit Network, retreated explosively, and the sharp aura of sword qi emitted from Liou Yuan once again attached to his body.

Crackling sounds were heard! Deep marks were carved into the Nether Bone defense surrounding him.

Many pieces of the Nether Bone were even directly sliced off his body by the sword qi.

For the first time, Xu Hetong, a descendant of the Golden Core, felt a genuine threat. Hidden beneath the white bone, his eyes grew solemn.

Yan Yingsi could see what was entwined around Liou Yuan’s sword, and Xu Hetong surely could too.

"Such a person exists among this generation of disciples from Five Extremes Mountain."

The lingering effects of the Lion’s Roar Spell in his mind had not yet dissipated, and Xu Hetong was once again overwhelmed by the might of the sword qi. He forcefully swallowed the fresh blood in his mouth and decisively wiped his hand across the black curved blade.

Spurt! His hand was sliced open by the black curved blade, but not a drop of blood splattered; it was all consumed by the black curved blade.

He actually started feeding this evil blade with his own blood.

Clearly, he was preparing to use his trump card; the threat of the sword qi forced Xu Hetong to go all out.

After consuming his blood, the color of the black curved blade began to turn towards a blood-red hue.

Xu Hetong held the blade in one hand while continuously forming seals with the other, pouring them all into the blade.

In a hasty response, Liou Yuan’s sword strike was fully empowered, and his head slowly lifted from beneath his black hair, revealing a face filled with cold murderous intent, with the Moonlight Sword aimed directly at Xu Hetong.

The sword qi swirling around the blade boiled to the extreme, forming a sword qi domain centered at Liou Yuan’s standing point.

Liou Yuan held the Moonlight Sword horizontally, concentrating all the sword qi at the tip of the Moonlight Sword.

Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill: Broken Rain Traceless.

The taste of death enveloped Xu Hetong’s heart almost at the moment Liou Yuan struck with that sword.

An unprecedented sense of crisis sent shivers across the body of this Golden Core descendant.

But his title as Little Ming King was not undeserved.

The magic he had been preparing was ready at this moment, and the Nether Bone covering his body began transforming into a blood-red color, as if its pallor were soaked in blood, becoming blood bones, adding a more ferocious hue than before.

Meanwhile.

Boom! A blood beam dozens of meters long burst from the blood-red curved blade he held.

The blood beam, unstoppable, pierced directly through the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array’s barrier.

Now observing Xu Hetong again, his aura was even more ferocious than before.

"Blood Soul Shocking Swan!"

Bang! The blood light exploded like waves on Xu Hetong’s blade, the power of his sword light turning half the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array into a sea of blood.

The other half of the array was unaffected due to Liou Yuan’s sword qi, with blood light unable to infiltrate even a bit.

The two each occupied half the space, the aura of the blood sea and the sword qi interwoven at the center.

"Die!" The brilliance in Liou Yuan’s evil eyes burst forth, and the sword qi at the tip of the sword was unleashed towards Xu Hetong without reservation.

Swish! The annihilating silent sword qi vanished from the Moonlight Sword.

"Cut!" Xu Hetong stepped forward dramatically, the blood sea trembled, and at that moment, the blood-red blade descended.

Crash!

The vast illusion of a blood sea fully merged into this strike, raising a brilliant blade light within the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.

The array’s barrier, unable to withstand the power of this strike, was directly split in two.

The Rainless Sword Skill returned to its original simplicity yet couldn’t match the Blood Sacrifice Shocking Swan’s imposing presence.

But with Liou Yuan’s sword qi reinforcement, its power could not be weaker than the Blood Sacrifice Shocking Swan.

It silently crossed the distance between Liou Yuan and Xu Hetong, colliding with the blade light of the Blood Sacrifice Shocking Swan.

At that moment, all the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division within the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array held their breath, eyes wide open, witnessing a clash that had transcended the realm of Qi Cultivation.

The blade light’s power was so overwhelming, it seemed capable of slicing through Foundation Establishment.

Liou Yuan, too, wielded sword qi, and although his presence was slightly inferior, the sword qi’s restrained profundity was more enigmatic.

The outcome of this confrontation was unpredictable.

Even Yan Yingsi clenched his fists tightly, watching without blinking at the clash of the two’s strongest attacks.

In an instant, the blade and sword collided.

Xu Hetong’s blood-red blade light, unleashed with all his might, a technique that shattered even the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array upon contact with Liou Yuan’s verdant sword qi, began fracturing in inches.

That stroke of verdant power obliterated the front half of the blade light with overwhelming force.

In the blink of an eye, the tens-of-meters-long blade light was extinguished by more than half, leaving only a small portion of its brilliance, insufficient to withstand the sharpness of the sword qi, on the brink of being entirely obliterated by Liou Yuan’s strike.

Once the blade light was entirely shattered, the sword qi would directly strike at the target of the sword, Xu Hetong.

His Nether Bone defense might not withstand Liou Yuan’s strike.

Xu Hetong also realized this, his dark golden pupils constricted, without regard to the burden caused by rapidly mobilizing spiritual power on his body, his hands swiftly began forming seals again.

His seal-making speed was so fast, one could only see the afterimages of his ten fingers.

Amidst this process, Xu Hetong violently drew upon his spiritual power, crazily pouring it into the Nether Bone, which began to emit a radiant glow, and a massive skeleton illusion rose from the surface of Xu Hetong’s body.
