212: Heart Sword Without a Trace

"The Six Tactics of the Azure Emperor from the Moyang Sect?!"

In the spectator stands, a Core Disciple who had traveled outside and seen a True Disciple of the Moyang Sect in action cried out in shock.

"What? A saber technique from the Moyang Sect?"

"The Third Prince is actually using an external sect's ultimate technique against a fellow Disciple of our own sect?"

"This... this isn't quite appropriate, is it?"

Some Disciples who had originally supported Xiao Chen now looked embarrassed and fell silent.

But some were still awed by that world-destroying power and whispered:

"Who cares which sect it's from? As long as he wins! Yao Delong definitely won't be able to block this strike!"

On the high platform, the various Peak Masters naturally recognized this secret technique of the Moyang Sect at a glance.

Luo Baiya's expression changed slightly, but he quickly forced himself to remain calm and snorted:

"Hmph! All laws share the same source, and we are all part of the Righteous Path! Chen'er's learning of the Moyang Sect's saber technique is simply drawing on the strengths of others to enhance his own foundation!

Why shouldn't he? Is only the Disciple of the Chiyan Peak allowed to use fire, while others aren't allowed to use a saber?"

"Bullshit!"

Ji Yanshuang, the Peak Master of Chiyan Peak, had a fiery temper that exploded instantly. She slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Luo Baiya and shouting:

"Luo Baiya! Have you no shame! Your Spirit Plant Peak True Disciple is publicly using the Moyang Sect's guardian saber technique in the Yin Yang Sect's Core Disciple ranking battle!

This is an act of betraying the sect! And you still have the face to make excuses for him?! I think you've gone senile!"

Being pointed at and scolded in public, Luo Baiya's face turned ashen. He was momentarily speechless and could only argue stubbornly:

"Ji Yanshuang! Stop your baseless accusations! Chen'er's mother is the Hall Master of Dharma Transmission of the Moyang Sect. It is only natural for him to learn his mother's clan's ultimate techniques!

This is a family heritage; how can you call it betraying the sect!"

While the two Peak Masters were at each other's throats and the atmosphere was thick with tension,

On the arena, the grey-green blade aura that extinguished all life had already reached the top of Yao Delong's head!

Facing this terrifying strike that would make even an ordinary Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator pale,

Instead of fear, an even more blazing Battle Intent burned in Yao Delong's eyes!

He took a deep breath as the Nine Yang Golden Core within him spun wildly.

The vast Nine Yang Yuan Qi and the power of his Physical Body's blood and Qi converged like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all pouring into his fists!

"Void Splitting Nine Strikes — Nine Strikes in One, Annihilation!"

Yao Delong gave a loud shout, and his figure blurred instantly! It was as if nine afterimages appeared simultaneously in his place,

Nine golden fist shadows, condensed to the extreme and carrying a whistle that tore through space, were violently thrown out!

These nine punches did not disperse; instead, at the moment they were thrown,

They instantly overlapped and underwent Fusion along a mysterious trajectory!

Boom!

A torrent of dark golden fist aura, seemingly compressed and condensed from nine blazing suns,

Carrying a terrifying will to incinerate all things and destroy all laws, rose Heaven-Defyingly!

Wherever the fist aura passed, space distorted violently, letting out an overburdened groan!

That most yang and rigid Blazing Sun Concept perfectly merged with the destructive power of the Void Splitting Nine Strikes!

"Nine Strikes in One! The Realm of Perfection! He even integrated the True Intent of the Blazing Sun?!"

Lei Zhenzi, the Peak Master of Thunder Marsh Peak, suddenly stood up, his rugged face filled with shock,

"The power of this strike has completely reached the Peak of an Earth Rank top-tier Martial Skill! It's enough to rival a full-power strike from a Mid Nascent Soul Stage!"

Rumble—!!!!

The grey-green desolate blade aura and the dark golden torrent of destructive fists were like two stars from ancient times,

Under the gaze of countless terrified eyes, they collided violently at the center of the Heavenly Evolution Battle Stage!

An indescribable roar instantly exploded!

The extreme energy shockwave, like a hurricane of destruction, swept out frantically!

The indestructible Star Meteor Iron arena, capable of withstanding battles of the Nascent Soul Stage,

Under the frantic tearing of the two terrifying forces, actually let out a tooth-gritting "creak,"

Its surface was instantly covered with massive, web-like cracks!

The protective light barrier vibrated violently, its light flickering as if it would shatter at any moment!

"Hiss—!"

"The arena... the arena is cracked!"

"Heavens! Is this really an attack that can be launched from the Golden Core Realm?!"

"It's comparable to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage! Absolutely the destructive power of a Mid Nascent Soul Stage!"

Sounds of sharp intakes of breath and unbelievable cries of shock echoed from the stands!

Everyone was deeply shaken by this terrifying collision that transcended Realms!

The blinding light and the chaotic energy storm lasted for several breaths before slowly dissipating.

Amidst the swirling dust, two figures gradually became clear.

Yao Delong stood tall, still in his original spot, with a bit of dust on his white clothes.

A faint trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained as sharp as a blade,

The Nine Yang Divine Fire slowly circulated around him, quickly incinerating the desolate death intent that had invaded his body.

His throat moved slightly as he forcibly suppressed his surging blood and Qi,

Although his aura fluctuated slightly, his Battle Intent was even higher!

In contrast, Xiao Chen was in an extremely wretched state!

He was kneeling on one knee, relying entirely on the Azure-Scaled Dragon-Patterned Blade stabbed into the ground to support himself and keep from collapsing completely.

His luxurious brocade robes had long been torn to shreds by the violent energy, looking like a beggar's rags.

His hair was disheveled, and his face, mouth, nose, and chest were covered in bloodstains. His aura was extremely withered,

And his eyes were filled with shock, humiliation, and a trace of fear that could not be hidden!

"Im... Impossible..." Stormy waves surged in Xiao Chen's heart,

He had used all his trump cards, even his hidden Moyang Sect secret technique, yet he still couldn't take down Yao Delong!

He was confident that even Lei Qianjun, who was ranked first,

Would definitely not be able to escape unscathed from the power of this strike! But Yao Delong... had only suffered a slight injury?!"

A cold chill instantly rushed from the soles of Xiao Chen's feet to the top of his head!

He first truly felt the threat of death!

This commoner from Luoxia Peak was actually this terrifyingly strong!

"It's time to end this!"

Yao Delong's cold voice sounded like a death sentence, instantly crushing Xiao Chen's last shred of hope!

Cold light burst from his eyes. Following the principle of striking while the enemy is down, he did not hesitate at all!

Yao Delong pressed his fingers together like a sword and tapped his brow with lightning speed!

Buzz!

Within his Sea of Consciousness, that "Heart Sword," which was pitch-black, thin as a cicada's wing,

And seemingly condensed from the purest shadows and supreme Sword Intent,

Suddenly let out a silent hum!

"Go!"

Yao Delong murmured in his heart.

A black sword shadow, almost imperceptible and completely blending into the shadows of space, shot out silently from his brow!

There was no grand display of power, no brilliant light, not even a ripple in the air!

It was fast to the extreme, surpassing the limits of the naked eye, and like a teleportation, it pierced straight toward Xiao Chen's brow!

"Heart Sword?!!"

On the high platform, Li Cen, the Peak Master of Heavenly Sword Peak, who had always been as steady as a mountain, suddenly bolted upright from his seat and cried out in shock!

His eyes were wide as he stared intently at that almost undetectable black sword shadow, his face filled with extreme shock and wild joy!

"It's a Heart Sword! He actually condensed a Heart Sword while still in the Golden Core Realm!

The sword moves with the heart, and the sword arrives where the intent goes! This is the embryonic form of the supreme Realm of the Dao of the sword! Heaven has blessed our Yin Yang Sect!"

"Heart Sword? What is that?"

The other Peak Masters, including Luo Baiya of the Void Refining Realm, all looked bewildered and suspicious.

They could vaguely feel an extremely subtle,

Yet incredibly sharp Sword Intent flash by, but they were completely unable to understand its essence!

Luo Baiya's heart pounded even harder as a strong sense of unease instantly seized him!
