Chapter 615: Li Yun not holding back!
"Just how many methods has Li Yun hidden? Exactly how astonishing is his strength?"
"Could it be that he really wants to charge into the sixth floor in one go?"
Under the gazes of everyone, who now looked at him as if he were a monster, Li Yun turned toward a small floating island ahead and issued a challenge without hesitation.
"It really is happening!"
"Li Yun really wants to charge straight to the sixth floor in one go."
"Too crazy. This Li Yun is simply too crazy."
This scene made the surrounding cultivators cry out endlessly. Although they had already guessed this possibility in their hearts, actually seeing Li Yun take action still shocked them beyond measure.
It was one thing for him to remain silent and inactive. But once he finally moved, he actually wanted to directly assault the sixth floor of the Floating Island. This had completely exceeded the limits of their imagination.
On the small floating island, Li Yun’s opponent had an extremely serious expression.
This was a middle-aged man wearing earthen-yellow robes. His name was Wei Cangshan. His attire was very simple, and his face looked plain, honest, and sincere, but his strength was quite remarkable.
Of course, anyone capable of climbing to the fifth floor of the Floating Island among so many experts could not possibly be weak.
As an expert, he naturally had the pride of an expert. Although he was wary of Li Yun’s strength, he absolutely would not allow himself to become a background character or a stepping stone for Li Yun to reach the sixth floor.
"Great Earth Bell Seal!"
He roared loudly.
Streams of earthen-yellow qi flowed down around him, forming the shape of an ancient bell that enveloped his entire body.
Not only that, his aura also became extremely heavy and solid. His entire person seemed to have transformed into an ancient bell, filled with an unshakable presence.
Facing Li Yun’s overwhelming force, this middle-aged man chose to defend with all his might.
"Great Earth Bell Seal. This is Wei Cangshan’s ultimate technique. The defensive power of this move is so strong that it can even withstand several blows from a 1st level Heavenly Core Realm expert. Wei Cangshan was able to reach the fifth floor relying on this move."
"Even Feng Qingxiao spent considerable effort and consumed a great deal of essence qi to break this move. How will Li Yun break it?"
For a moment, everyone’s gaze turned toward Li Yun.
Of course, they did not think Li Yun would be unable to break the Great Earth Bell Seal. But there was a huge difference between breaking it with difficulty and breaking it with ease.
If Li Yun exhausted a great deal of strength against this Great Earth Bell Seal, then his attempt to assault the sixth floor would undoubtedly be nothing more than a fool’s dream. But if he succeeded easily, then everything would become hard to predict.
How exactly would Li Yun break this move?
Under everyone’s complicated gazes, Li Yun made his move.
Whoosh!
He merely swung his sword casually.
With that light and effortless swing, twenty percent Sword Intent at the Xiantian Stage burst forth. Vast Sword Momentum, mighty like the momentum of heaven and earth, instantly tore the Great Earth Bell Seal apart.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then, powerful Sword Qi erupted and directly blasted Wei Cangshan more than a dozen zhang away.
One sword strike.
Wei Cangshan was defeated.
"Such powerful Sword Intent!"
"Li Yun’s Sword Intent has actually reached twenty percent of the Xiantian Stage, and he is only at the 1st level of Earthly Core Realm."
"To possess such Sword Intent at the 1st level of Earthly Core Realm, even in the sword-famed Heavenly Sword Sect, he is an absolute monster."
The strength Li Yun displayed once again shocked everyone.
In his previous battles, Li Yun had only used exquisite sword techniques and had not revealed his Sword Intent. Because of that, everyone had assumed that with Li Yun’s cultivation, his Sword Intent could not be too high. But now, the intensity of Li Yun’s Sword Intent had far exceeded their imagination.
"Twenty percent Xiantian Stage Sword Intent..."
On the second small floating island, Jian Wuhen’s expression became grave as he murmured softly to himself.
Before this, although Li Yun had shown considerable strength, Jian Wuhen still had not paid too much attention to him. But now, he had no choice but to take Li Yun seriously.
That was because even Jian Wuhen himself had only just reached thirty percent. He was merely one level higher than Li Yun.
Swoosh!
In the next moment, Li Yun’s figure suddenly appeared on the eighth small floating island.
His opponent was a young man in cyan robes with a delicate and handsome face. Even while facing Li Yun, the young man still wore a faint smile.
This person was named Mo Qingyao, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Origin Saint Sect.
Although he was also an Inner Sect Disciple of the Origin Saint Sect, his strength was much more formidable than Cai Liuyun’s. He ranked sixth on the Earth Ranking, just behind the fifth-ranked Wu Fan.
Of course, this ranking was probably already a thing of the past, because right here on the Floating Island, he had defeated Wu Fan and advanced to the fifth floor.
"Li Yun, your sword technique is strong. However, I want to compete with you and see whose sword is faster."
Mo Qingyao smiled faintly and drew a precious sword from his waist.
The sword shimmered with a cyan luster. It was extremely thin and soft, and it was an intermediate seventh-grade spiritual artifact called the Breeze Sword.
"Free Wind Chasing Sword Technique!"
Mo Qingyao suddenly struck.
The instant he made his move, his eyes changed. He transformed from a delicate and slightly shy young man into someone with a chilling and intimidating aura. A powerful presence erupted from him, like a precious sword unsheathed from its scabbard.
Whoosh!
His sword strike seemed to merge with the wind.
Its speed was extreme.
Once his sword came out, wind and clouds stirred. The sharp and fierce aura seemed capable of tearing the sky apart.
"Not a bad sword strike."
Li Yun could not help nodding slightly.
Mo Qingyao’s strength was indeed remarkable. His Sword Intent had reached ten percent of the Xiantian Stage, and his sword technique had also been cultivated to an extremely high realm.
"Unfortunately, your sword is not fast enough."
Suddenly, Li Yun made his move.
This time, he directly used his Slow Sword.
Whoosh!
An unparalleled Sword Qi shot out explosively.
Mo Qingyao’s Sword Qi was already fast, but compared to this strike, it still fell far short.
This strike could no longer be described with ordinary speed. The Sword Light flickered, and in an instant, it arrived first despite starting later, colliding with Mo Qingyao’s Sword Qi.
Sss! Sss! Sss!
The Sword Qi Mo Qingyao had unleashed was instantly torn apart. Then, that intense Sword Light whistled toward him, finally stopping right at his throat.
With just one step forward, this Sword Qi could pierce Mo Qingyao’s throat and take his life.
"His sword... is actually this fast..."
Mo Qingyao was stunned.
He seemed to forget his current predicament, and his mind constantly replayed the sword strike from just now.
Suddenly, as if he had gained enlightenment, many confusions in his heart naturally resolved themselves. He knew that from this moment onward, his sword technique was about to reach an entirely new stage.
"Li Yun, I am defeated in this battle."
He resumed his delicate and harmless appearance, bowed to Li Yun, and voluntarily admitted defeat.
"This..."
"The esteemed Mo Qingyao, a strong expert who can rank in the top five of the Earth Ranking, was defeated just like that. Li Yun is simply too strong."
"Monster. He is truly a monster."
