39: The final opponent! I won't let you lose too badly!

“These past few years, I haven’t been without progress! Now, let me show you my latest mastery of the Hundred Beast Skill!”

Wang Zhuang roared, and an astonishing aura erupted from his body!

Only to see Evil Qi surging around him!

His entire being seemed to transform into a terrifying Vicious Beast!

Faintly, sounds of Dragon roars, tiger roars, ox bellows, and ape cries could be heard!

“Hundred Beast Skill! Beast King’s Fury!”

Wang Zhuang threw a punch!

The Void Realm vibrated, ripples spreading out in circles!

The tyrannical True Qi, like the roar of a hundred beasts, converged to form a terrifying and astonishing Beast King’s power, as if it would destroy everything in its path!

Sword Dust’s eyes narrowed upon seeing this, “What a good Move!”

“Fleeting Cloud Sword Art, Startling Sky!”

He raised his long sword high, Sword Qi soaring into the sky, churning the sea of clouds!

This sword strike startled the clouds!

This sword strike suddenly slashed down, clashing with the tyrannical Beast King’s power!

Then, the Beast King’s True Qi shattered!

A bloody gash was torn across Wang Zhuang’s body, and he flew backward uncontrollably, crashing through one large tree after another.

Then he fell into the ruins, unconscious.

A beam of light descended, teleporting him away.

“What excellent swordsmanship!”

The sound of applause rang out.

A woman in red walked out from beside him.

It was Sequence Two, Red Hua!

Her appearance didn’t surprise Sword Dust much; he held his long sword and looked at her, “After defeating Wang Zhuang, is it your turn next?”

“You just fought Wang Zhuang, so you must have consumed a lot of energy…”

Red Hua smiled slightly.

Sword Dust thought she was going to say something like ‘I’ll let you recover first’ or ‘I don’t want to take advantage of someone’s weakness,’ so he said indifferently, “No need…”

But then Red Hua suddenly rushed towards him!

“Then don’t blame me for taking advantage of your weakness!”

Red Hua struck out with both palms, and in an instant, red clouds filled the sky!

“Red Clouds Skill, Clouds and Mist!”

The rosy light bloomed, drawing in the cloud Qi, forming a majestic force.

Coupled with Red Hua’s full outburst of Purple Mansion Realm cultivation, the power of this palm strike was truly considerable, no less than Wang Zhuang’s Beast King’s Fury!

Moreover, her sudden attack caught Sword Dust off guard, forcing him to respond hastily.

But he wasn’t flustered; with the long sword in hand, the swordsmanship he had learned from Chen Yi on Wuqing Peak during these past days surfaced in his mind, one by one.

He wielded his long sword, executing Fleeting Cloud Sword Art as smoothly as flowing water.

He actually disintegrated Red Hua’s attack within a few Moves.

Red Hua retreated several steps, exclaiming in wonder.

“Good heavens, your swordsmanship has actually progressed to this extent!”

“All thanks to Junior Brother’s excellent guidance.”

Sword Dust said with a faint smile.

Outside the Illusory Void Formation.

Everyone watched the battle between Sword Dust and Red Hua with great interest.

“Sword Dust’s swordsmanship has improved quite a bit.”

“Who did he say guided him? Junior Brother? Is it Chen Yi?”

“No wonder he’s been running to Wuqing Peak so often lately. So that’s why.”

As they spoke, several Elders looked at the Divine Sword Peak Lord; as Sword Dust’s Revered Master, his Disciple was now learning swordsmanship from someone else…

Would he be enraged out of shame?

Indeed.

The Divine Sword Peak Lord’s face showed annoyance, “This brat, he actually secretly ran off to Wuqing Peak to learn swordsmanship by himself? And he didn’t even call me!”

The Elders couldn’t help but twitch their mouths slightly when they heard the latter part of his sentence.

So that’s what you care about?

The Divine Sword Peak Lord saw the expressions on everyone’s faces and then said, “What, in the Dao of martial arts, the capable are teachers! Chen Yi’s swordsmanship has already reached the level of a Grandmaster. Is there anyone among you who can compare? Is it shameful to learn swordsmanship from him?”

“Not shameful, not shameful at all.”

“Heh, Divine Sword Elder having such magnanimity is truly rare.”

“Very good, very good…”

Looking back inside the Illusory Void Formation.

The battle between Sword Dust and Red Hua was already in full swing.

The two sides fought, growing more and more intense.

Red Clouds Skill and Fleeting Cloud Sword Art clashed for dozens of rounds!

The impact force spread, shaking an area of a hundred feet!

The ground was riddled with craters, a scene of devastation.

“Red Clouds Skill, Afterglow Forms Brocade!!”

Red Hua shouted, True Qi surging in her hands, and endless rosy light suddenly rendered, like a silk ribbon covering the sky.

It charged towards Sword Dust.

Facing this strike, Sword Dust coldly shouted, “Let me show you this!”

The next second.

A more majestic and domineering True Qi erupted from his body!

Behind him, a faint hundred-zhang silver-white giant sword phantom appeared!

Primordial Spirit Sword Body Phenomenon, Giant Sword Soaring!

Coupled with the surge of True Qi from Sword Dust’s body, a power that did not belong to the Purple Mansion Realm, Red Hua’s pupils constricted slightly, and she exclaimed, “Nascent Soul Realm!”

The giant sword slashed down, carrying the power of the Nascent Soul Realm!

The rosy cloud, like a silk ribbon, was directly torn apart!

This sword strike landed on Red Hua, sending her flying!

She spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale, and just as she was about to fall to the ground, she suddenly found herself in an embrace.

She looked up and saw a handsome face that she was incredibly familiar with and thought about every night—it was… Chen Yi!

Being held by Chen Yi, Red Hua felt somewhat content at this moment.

Outside the Illusory Void Formation.

A series of creaking sounds rang out.

Several Elders were somewhat puzzled.

“What’s that sound?”

“It sounds like a mouse grinding its teeth?”

“But where would a mouse come from?”

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

Only to see Luo Qinghuang’s face covered in frost, her silver teeth gnashing, making creaking noises.

She seemed very angry?

Looking back inside the Illusory Void Formation at Chen Yi holding Red Hua, they suddenly understood.

So that’s how it is!

Inside the Illusory Void Formation.

Even though she was injured, Red Hua, being held, felt incredibly joyful at this moment and wanted to reach out to embrace Chen Yi’s neck.

But suddenly, a sense of weightlessness came over her.

She was actually thrown directly onto the nearby grass by Chen Yi!

Although Red Hua wasn’t hurt by the fall, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

What’s going on?

Weren’t they holding each other nicely just now?

Why did you throw me away??

Red Hua looked at Chen Yi with a hint of resentment.

And Chen Yi said indifferently, “I saw someone flying over just now, and I instinctively caught them. Senior Sister, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, but my heart is wounded.”

Red Hua said faintly.

“Heart wounded? Does Senior Brother Sword Dust also practice martial arts like Heart Shattering Palm? This is a serious matter; you should get it checked thoroughly when you go back.”

Chen Yi said with a serious expression.

Red Hua: “…………”

For a moment, she couldn’t tell if Chen Yi was serious or joking.

“Ding! Host threw the beauty in his arms aside, making the beauty sad! Such an act is truly a model of the Path of Emotional Detachment! Rewarding the phenomenon Fire Phoenix Burning the Sky!”

Phenomenon?

Another phenomenon.

Adding Great Sun Across the Sky and Golden Lotus in a Sea of Fire, he already had three phenomena!

It’s just that he had only used one so far!

And Sword Dust also saw Chen Yi’s arrival, a slight smile on his lips, “Junior Brother Chen Yi, I didn’t expect you to make it this far.”

Although he knew Chen Yi was extraordinary.

However, it was true that the other party had Grandmaster-level swordsmanship.

But no matter what, he was still just a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

To be able to pass through numerous assessments, defeat one Disciple after another, and reach him was truly somewhat unexpected.

Sword Dust glanced at the light barrier in the sky.

At this time, the light barrier had shrunk to less than two hundred feet in range.

And Sword Dust scanned the surroundings; besides him, Chen Yi, and the injured Red Hua, there were no other Disciples.

He looked at Chen Yi and smiled:

“It seems Junior Brother Chen Yi, you are my final opponent! This time it’s not a swordsmanship competition! Junior Brother, you need to be careful.”

Chen Yi said indifferently, “Senior Brother, rest assured. For the sake of all the Spirit Stones you gave me to learn swordsmanship, I won’t let you lose too badly.”
