489: I have a sword, please take it

Li Ruoyu was silent for a second, then cupped his fists and said, "I've heard that Junior Brother Xie's combat strength is extraordinary, and his swordsmanship is unparalleled. A single person and a single sword, he broke through thirteen cities in West Chu, which is awe-inspiring. It just so happens that I also cultivate swordsmanship, and I would like to spar with Junior Brother. Would you be able to grant my request?"

He naturally knew Xie Weilou's strength was formidable, but precisely because of this, he wanted to seek guidance.

He was a disciple of the Sword Immortal, cultivating peerless swordsmanship, and among the younger generation, he rarely met an opponent.

Now that an even more terrifying existence had appeared, he naturally couldn't miss this opportunity.

Cultivators can only understand their shortcomings by constantly sparring with the strong, thereby solving problems and taking a step further.

As for whether he would lose, he already knew the outcome, but he wouldn't care too much.

His name was Ruoyu, not 'great wisdom appearing foolish'; in his opinion, he truly was dull.

His talent was not as extraordinary as imagined; his ability to reach his current realm came from constantly swinging his sword, constantly training, and constantly cultivating.

Before this, he had encountered many opponents and many enemies, and he had lost countless times.

......

Xie Weilou fell silent.

"I hope Junior Brother will grant my request."

Li Ruoyu bowed again, his face resolute and extremely sincere.

"Since this kid wants to spar with you, then grant his request!"

At the right time, Zhou Xuantian's voice quietly entered Xie Weilou's ears. It was clear that he was paying attention to the situation here.

Xie Weilou looked at Li Ruoyu and said with a faint smile, "Since Senior Brother Li wants to spar, then let's spar!"

After speaking, he moved and instantly appeared in the center of the platform.

"There's going to be another big battle!"

"Although Senior Brother Li Ruoyu is very strong, he's probably no match for Marquis Zhenxi."

"Remove the word 'probably.' Marquis Zhenxi can slaughter a Dragon Transformation Realm Peak with three strikes. He must at least have Divine Court Realm combat strength. Senior Brother Li cannot be his opponent."

Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw Xie Weilou and Li Ruoyu about to spar.

There wouldn't be much suspense in this battle; they had already guessed the outcome.

However, even so, they were still very much looking forward to this battle.

One was the top-ranked prodigy on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings, and the other was the brutal, ruthless, and powerful Marquis Zhenxi.

This battle would definitely be more interesting.

"Thank you, Junior Brother!"

A smile appeared on Li Ruoyu's face, and he bowed to Xie Weilou again.

Xie Weilou looked at Li Ruoyu and said, "Senior Brother Li, how about a single sword strike to decide the victor?"

"That's exactly what I had in mind!"

Li Ruoyu stretched out his hand, and a long sword appeared in his grasp. It was a Supreme-Grade Spiritual Weapon, of good quality.

Whoosh!

Lin Qinghuang waved her sleeve, and Tianya Sword flew towards Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou casually grasped Tianya Sword and looked at Li Ruoyu: "Please!"

Clang!

Li Ruoyu's long sword instantly unsheathed.

Buzz!

At the same time, Li Ruoyu's Profound Manifestation appeared: a massive gray sword. Its sword energy was majestic, tearing through heaven and earth, extremely domineering.

Li Ruoyu's long hair danced, and his clothes rustled. He formed a sword art, and monstrous sword energy erupted.

The Profound Manifestation giant sword soared into the nine heavens, and a thousand streams of sword energy overflowed, flickering with light, condensing into a thousand Immortal figures in the sky. Each Immortal figure emanated extremely strong sword energy.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

As the thousand Immortal figures appeared, the sky trembled, emitting rumbling sounds.

Sword energy raged, dark clouds gathered, sealing off this part of heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth turned a gloomy color, sword light flickered, and murderous intent surged, making people feel incredibly suppressed.

......

Li Ruoyu moved and appeared in the nine heavens.

With a casual wave of his hand, his long sword floated up, positioned below the thousand Immortal figures. The sword energy became even more majestic, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, enveloping the nine heavens. Immortals descending to the mortal world were about to arrive.

At this moment, this Supreme-Grade Spiritual Weapon seemed to have transformed into a peerless Immortal Sword, its size constantly growing, its pressure incredibly terrifying.

"This is... One Sword Immortal Descent!"

"One Sword Immortal Descent is one of the Sword Immortal's ultimate techniques. Legend has it that when this sword is unleashed, Immortals will descend, making it extraordinary."

"I wonder what kind of swordsmanship Marquis Zhenxi will use to meet the challenge."

"It might be Haoran Heaven. Legend has it that Marquis Zhenxi has already mastered Haoran Heaven."

Everyone looked in shock at the thousand Immortal figures in the sky.

This sword was one of the Sword Immortal's ultimate techniques.

Legend had it that this sword was extremely beautiful, but at this moment, they did not see any so-called beauty, only endless sword energy and monstrous killing intent.

If this sword were to fall, even those in the late Dragon Transformation Realm would probably not dare to face it head-on.

Boom!

Li Ruoyu mobilized all his strength, and the aura on his body reached its peak. He formed sword seals with both hands, making the thousand Immortal figures even more terrifying.

"Junior Brother, I have a sword created by the Sword Immortal, named One Sword Immortal Descent. Please receive it!"

Li Ruoyu's expression was solemn, and his hands instantly opened and closed, his pressure dominating the nine heavens.

The Profound Manifestation trembled, and the thousand Immortal figures directly transformed into a thousand Immortals.

Various colors of light diffused, the dark clouds were pierced, and the gray sky was instantly filled with a riot of colors, like an Immortal realm, extremely beautiful.

The Immortals within all opened their eyes, sword energy permeated, tearing through the sky, immensely domineering.

"One Sword Immortal Descent!"

Li Ruoyu roared.

Buzz!

The Profound Manifestation trembled, and the giant sword suddenly struck down. Residual light flickered, sword energy swept across, immensely domineering.

A thousand Immortals descended simultaneously, each Immortal carrying monstrous sword energy, immensely destructive. The light was dazzling and blinding, instantly sealing off the massive Longhu Platform.

From the sky, sounds of tearing emanated, hurricanes swept through, and pressure surged.

"A good sword!"

Xie Weilou said indifferently.

He tightened his grip on the scabbard, held the long sword horizontally in front of him, extended his right hand, and grasped the hilt.

Clang!

Just as the Immortals descended, he suddenly drew his sword, still using his simple and brutal sword drawing technique.

But the moment he drew his sword, ancient sword energy erupted.

Boom!

A ten-thousand-meter-long blue sword energy burst forth, spanning across the sky, as if to cleave open the heavens, its power even more domineering and terrifying.

The sword drawing technique of the Seven Kills of Gods and Ghosts was a pure killing sword, with extremely dense killing intent.

The ten-thousand-meter sword energy swept across, overwhelming everything, instantly striking the giant sword and the thousands of Immortal bodies.

Rumble!

The giant sword was cut in half, fragments shot out, and the thousand Immortals were crushed, constantly exploding, light scattering everywhere. Even the Profound Manifestation sword was cleaved with several cracks by a single sword strike.

The ten-thousand-meter sword energy, its power undiminished, brushed past Li Ruoyu in an instant, cleaving open the sky behind him...

......

Li Ruoyu's expression froze, his face turned incredibly pale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

His entire aura became extremely chaotic, his eyes grew somewhat dim, his Profound Manifestation dissipated, and his body descended from the sky.

He lost!

One Sword Immortal Descent could not withstand Xie Weilou's casual sword draw; even his Profound Manifestation was damaged.

Zheng!

Xie Weilou twirled the sword, and the long sword returned to its scabbard.

Li Ruoyu arrived on the platform, kneeling on one knee on the ground. He struggled to stand up and sighed, "I lost! Junior Brother's swordsmanship is indeed terrifying."

He had originally expected to see Xie Weilou unleash Haoran Heaven, but he didn't expect the other party to only use a sword drawing technique.

However, the power of this sword drawing technique made him feel far inferior. This was a true sword master; even a simple sword draw possessed heaven-defying power...
