244: breakthrough

As for the Gloomy Youth, although he didn't target the Three People, his attacks on Shen Xi became even more ferocious.

It was clear that the Three People had a clear division of labor.

The Gloomy Youth was responsible for entanglement with Shen Xi, while the other Two People were to deal with Ye Zirou and the others.

"You are forcing me!"

Shen Xi roared.

This was the first time he had truly lost his temper.

Even when he was surrounded before, he was able to remain calm.

It was all for Opportunity, and taking action was normal.

But now, the Three People were clearly targeting his friends; how could he endure this?

"What if we are forcing you?"

"This is the price for underestimating us!"

"Shen Xi, you are destined to die today; don't make a futile struggle!"

The Three People mocked him coldly.

At this moment, Shen Xi decided not to hold back any longer!

"Activate the drill!"

[Martial Arts drill begins. As the host is in the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm, each drill consumes ten thousand demon beast lifespan points.]

[First year, you began to Cultivate diligently. Due to the improvement in your talent, your Cultivation speed was significantly faster than before.]

[Fifth year, you were exploring the Dao of reaching the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm.]

[Tenth year, you felt that you were only one step away from the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm.]

[Twentieth year, you were only half a step away, but your demon beast lifespan was running out.]

[Thirty-fifth year, at the last moment when your demon beast lifespan was about to be completely depleted, you finally Broke Through to the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm!]

[This time, three hundred and fifty thousand demon beast lifespan were consumed. Feedback begins!]

A shocking power surged from Shen Xi's Dantian.

His strength was rapidly increasing, and he quickly Broke Through to the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm!

This was one of Shen Xi's trump cards.

Besides the two chances to strike from the Tower of the Heavens guardian, Shen Xi also had the System!

And in the Sealed Land, he had acquired another three hundred and sixty thousand demon beast lifespan in the following days, but he had just never used it.

Originally, Shen Xi's battle with Gu Tong and the Two People was based on the idea of tempering himself, and he had not used the System to improve his strength.

Moreover, the situation had not been so critical that he had to Breakthrough his Realm.

But now, Gu Tong and the Two People were acting dishonorably, actually planning to attack Ye Zirou and the others, so Shen Xi gave up the idea of tempering himself and simply cheated!

Improving by one Minor Achievement Realm not only boosts combat power by a small amount.

Originally, Shen Xi was in the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm, and his combat power had reached a level where he could crush the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm.

Now, having Broke Through to the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm, his combat power directly reached Innate Transformation of Strength.

This was a qualitative leap.

"What! Shen Xi actually Broke Through again during the battle?"

"Is he a monster?"

"It is said that only a Genius among Geniuses possesses the special talent to advance during battle."

"I've heard of such people. Even among the Secluded Factions, they are as rare as Phoenix feathers and Qilin horns."

"We never expected to witness one with our own eyes. Shen Xi is too terrifying!"

The entire audience was in an uproar, stunned by Shen Xi's move.

They hadn't expected Shen Xi to Breakthrough at such a critical moment.

And this could turn the tide of the entire battle!

"Shen Xi's combat power was already in the first tier; now that he has Broke Through again, wouldn't he be able to crush everyone?"

"I don't want to die in vain. This matter ends here; farewell, everyone!"

"Me too. Let the Yuyue Realm Legacy be contested by those Big Boss!"

For a time, many Martial Artist directly withdrew from the battle.

They didn't want to die.

With Shen Xi's current combat power, he could at least kill a large number of people, if not sweep the entire field.

The Yuyue Realm Legacy was indeed good, but the premise was that one had to be alive to obtain it.

Originally, Gu Tong and the Two People were holding Shen Xi back, but now, it was probably hopeless.

Since that was the case, there was no need for this battle without suspense to continue. Why would they send themselves to their doom?

"You, come and fight!"

Shen Xi ignored the small fries and fixed his gaze on Gu Tong and the Two People.

"Even if you Breakthrough, do you think you can turn the tide of the battle?"

"One against three, and our combat power is not inferior to yours. Who wins and who loses is still an unknown."

"Kill!"

Gu Tong and the Two People said through gritted teeth.

Shen Xi, however, stopped speaking.

He held the Qingying Sword and then closed his eyes.

Shen Xi's Aura was seen rising steadily, reaching its Peak in an instant.

Immediately after, this sharp, all-destroying Aura instantly disappeared.

And accompanying all of this was a drastic change in Shen Xi's entire state.

At this moment, he seemed not to be a person, but a sword!

A sword hidden in its scabbard, not yet formally drawn.

A sword hidden in its scabbard; it would be fine if it wasn't drawn, but once drawn, it would be world-destroying.

Fifth Level Sword Intent began to permeate.

Like a great mountain, it pressed down on everyone present, making them breathless.

"One sword, sweeping through the nine provinces!"

Shen Xi slowly spoke.

He finally opened his eyes.

The Qingying Sword moved!

A Sword Aura, imbued with Sword Intent and carrying a world-destroying Aura, slashed towards the Gloomy Youth.

"No!"

At this moment, the Gloomy Youth finally panicked.

Facing this sword, he had only one thought in his mind.

He couldn't block it!

The Gloomy Youth turned his head and tried to flee.

But at this point, it was too late.

The Sword Aura fell.

The Gloomy Youth was instantly cut into two, without even having time to let out a scream.

The Gloomy Youth, dead!

"Run!"

"With Shen Xi as he is now, we are not his opponents!"

Gu Tong and the Gloomy Youth also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Shen Xi's combat power had increased too much.

Even if the Three People joined forces, they could at most barely fight Shen Xi to a draw.

But now, the Gloomy Youth had been killed.

Only Gu Tong and the Two People remained, and the balance had been broken.

Coupled with Shen Xi being in a mysterious state at this time, exuding an invincible Aura, the Two People were even more no match.

Realizing this, the Two People turned and ran without looking back.

"Did I let you leave?"

Shen Xi said coldly.

Immediately, another sword slash was unleashed.

"Ah!"

The Gloomy Youth, who had already fled hundreds of meters away, let out a scream.

On his back, a sword wound appeared, so deep that the bone was visible, just a little more and it would have completely severed him.

If he hadn't run fast, the Gloomy Youth would have been a corpse by now.

But even so, he was severely injured and would not have any combat capability for a short time.

"What a pity, they got away!"

"Hmph! How dare such people be so arrogant, running faster than rabbits."

"Next time we meet, I will definitely make sure they die without a burial place."

Ye Zirou and the Two People spoke one after another.

The crisis had been averted, and the Three People could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's alright, we'll cut them down next time!"

Shen Xi regained his composure and smiled.

He didn't pursue them further, after all, he still had to ensure the safety of his companions.
