59: Chapter 59 Suppression by Spiritual Weapon, Li Siwen Draws His Sword and Counterattacks

On the arena, Li Siwen's "tea-like words" were like adding fuel to the fire, completely incinerating Chu Youcai's rationality.

His eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his forehead throbbing like coiling dragons, and his entire body trembled with rage. Even the Internal Energy of his Refining Viscera Perfection became somewhat chaotic and violent due to his extreme anger!

"Ah!!! Li! Shi! Wen! I'm going to tear you into ten thousand pieces!!"

Chu Youcai let out a beast-like roar, completely abandoning his futile bare-handed assault.

He took a sudden step back and slapped the Storage Pouch at his waist.

"Buzz!"

A dull hum of a blade rang out!

A blinding cold light suddenly flashed, and a peerlessly sharp Saber Qi instantly filled the air, slicing through the atmosphere with a whistling sound!

A ferocious-looking, broad-backed, thick-edged great saber appeared in his hand!

The blade was heavy, its edge shimmering with a cold, icy glint. Complex patterns were engraved on the spine, with a faint blood-red light flowing through them, emitting a violent and fierce Aura!

This was clearly a Spiritual Artifact battle saber of no low grade!

"It's the mountain splitter blade! Senior Brother Chu's signature weapon!"

"A Profound Rank High Grade Spiritual Artifact! Combined with the Chu Family's 'Bloody Battle Mad Saber Art', its power is limitless!"

"He's truly incensed! Now Li Shiwen is in danger!"

"With the boost from a Spiritual Artifact, Senior Brother Chu's combat power has soared by at least thirty percent!"

Disciples below the stage who recognized the weapon immediately cried out in alarm!

Chu Youcai gripped the hilt with both hands, pouring his majestic Refining Viscera Perfection Internal Energy into the blade without reservation!

"Buzz—!"

The mountain splitter blade let out an excited hum. The blood-red light on the blade intensified, and the sharp Saber Qi surged, turning into a physical astral wind that carved countless fine cracks into the ground around him!

"Bloody Battle in All Directions!"

Chu Youcai gave a wild roar. His body merged with the blade's light as he followed its path, transforming into a violent blood-colored cyclone. With the momentum to cleave mountains and split peaks, he lunged toward Li Siwen!

Before the blade's light even arrived, that sharp, overbearing Saber Intent filled with bloody Killing Intent had already completely locked onto Li Siwen!

Its power was simply incomparable to when he was fighting bare-handed earlier!

Facing this suddenly upgraded and terrifyingly powerful attack, Li Siwen's previous method of using fingers as a sword and responding nonchalantly was clearly no longer enough!

His footsteps finally moved!

His figure drifted back like a ghost. Simultaneously, he pointed his fingers repeatedly, shooting out several condensed strands of Sword Qi that accurately struck the points where the blade's light was strongest!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Sword Qi and the saber astral wind collided violently, producing the ear-piercing sound of clashing metal!

However, this time, the Sword Qi only slightly hindered the advance of the blade before being ground to pieces by the violent blood-colored saber astral wind!

The blade's light only stalled for a moment before continuing to slash down with even more ferocious momentum!

Li Siwen's brow furrowed slightly as he retreated again. As his sleeves fluttered, he appeared somewhat hurried.

He dodged several lethal blade glows in succession, but the blade's momentum was like a torrential storm—continuous and covering a vast area. It forced him back repeatedly, making him look somewhat disheveled for a moment!

"Good!"

"Senior Brother Chu is mighty!"

"Just like that! Defeat her in one go!"

Upon seeing this, Chu Youcai's lackeys immediately cheered as if they had been injected with chicken blood!

Many in the audience also held their breath, their hearts leaping into their throats.

"As expected... after using a Spiritual Artifact, the gap is just too large!"

A Perfect Foundation is hard-pressed to bridge the dual gap of a Spiritual Artifact and cultivation Realm!"

"What a pity... Junior Sister Li is going to lose..."

Chen Yaojia's heart, which had just settled, instantly surged again. Her pretty face was full of tension as she couldn't help but shout loudly, "Shiwen! Be careful! His saber technique is known for its fierce dominance; do not take it head-on!"

Her voice was crisp and full of concern, ringing out exceptionally clearly in the tense battlefield.

In the crowd, several Utility Disciples led by Liu Feng watched the figure on the stage. Despite being slightly disheveled, she still possessed an unparalleled grace as she battled a Refining Viscera Perfection expert wielding a Spiritual Artifact. Their expressions were filled with immense complexity.

Shock, envy, awe, and a trace of indescribable loss and daze.

"Has she... already reached this step..."

Liu Feng murmured to himself. He remembered that not long ago, "Li Shiwen" was just like them, scurrying about in the Utility Area for a few meager resources and even needing a bit of their "care."

But now...

In just a short time, they were worlds apart!

The other party was already a Peerless Genius capable of standing on a stage under the gaze of thousands, contending with the Sect's favored children!

Meanwhile, they were still struggling at the bottom.

This massive disparity left them with a mix of emotions.

In the Law Enforcement Team area, Chen Mingtao stood with his arms crossed, watching the arena with a cold expression.

When he saw Chu Youcai use a Spiritual Artifact out of shame and anger to erupt with even greater combat power, a flash of disdain crossed his eyes.

And when he saw Li Shiwen being temporarily suppressed, his brow furrowed slightly, though he wasn't overly worried.

Most of the Law Enforcement Team members around him, however, showed looks of satisfaction.

"Bah! Relying on the advantage of a weapon!"

"Chu Youcai only has this much ability!"

"Go Junior Sister Li! Beat the hell out of him!"

Yu Qing also struggled to reach the scene, supported by a Utility Disciple, watching the battle nervously.

Seeing "Junior Sister Li," who was fighting for his sake, being forced back, his eyes reddened slightly, his heart filled with gratitude and guilt.

"Junior Sister Li... why must you... take such risks for me..."

He clenched his fists, believing that everything "Li Shiwen" did was to vent anger on his behalf, making him value this friendship even more heavily.

On the arena, the situation seemed increasingly unfavorable for Li Siwen.

Chu Youcai pressed his advantage relentlessly. His saber technique became even more frenzied, and the blood-colored saber astral wind crisscrossed, covering almost half the arena and leaving Li Siwen with less and less space to maneuver.

"Hahaha! Li Shiwen! Where's that arrogance from before?! Keep being stubborn for me!" Chu Youcai laughed wildly, his offensive growing even sharper as if victory were already in his grasp.

However, just when everyone thought Li Siwen was about to be defeated or even injured by the blade, a hard-to-detect glint suddenly flashed in the eyes of the defensive Li Siwen.

"That's about enough... the harvest of the leek's anger is full enough. Time to change to some new tricks and harvest some shock points," he thought to himself.

Facing Chu Youcai's fierce vertical slash that seemed capable of splitting Mount Hua, Li Siwen did not retreat this time.

His footsteps shifted subtly, and in the blink of an eye, he skillfully let the main body of the blade pass while his right hand brushed his waist.

"Zheng—!"

A clear and melodious sword chime, like the cry of a Phoenix, suddenly resounded throughout the field!

A crimson sword light like flowing fire soared into the sky!

The fengwu sword was unsheathed!

The blade was slender and crimson like jade, with flowing fire flickering and dancing upon it. It emitted an agile, scorching Aura, and its grade was clearly not inferior to Chu Youcai's mountain splitter blade!

The moment the fengwu sword was unsheathed, the Aura on Li Siwen's body changed abruptly!

It was no longer the previous calm and elegant air, but became sharp, precise, and filled with a profound charm of the Sword Dao!

[Basic Sword Dao]—Activated!

With a gentle flick of his wrist, the fengwu sword traced a natural and perfect arc. Instead of blocking head-on, he accurately tapped the side of the mountain splitter blade's body at the node where its power flowed!

Ding!

A crisp, lingering vibration rang out!

Chu Youcai felt his blade shudder violently. A sharp yet condensed clever force transmitted through the blade, causing his heavy strike to involuntarily veer slightly and slash into empty air!

The violent saber astral wind brushed past Li Siwen's hem without harming him in the slightest!

Li Siwen took this opportunity to step forward instead of retreating!

The light from the fengwu sword in his hand surged, turning into dots of cold stars like a Phoenix spreading its wings or a goat hanging by its horns—untraceable. In an instant, he turned defense into offense, enveloping Chu Youcai in a display of exquisite sword light!

The offensive was instantly reversed!

"What?!"

"A sword?! She's actually using a weapon too!"

"What exquisite swordplay!"

"This swordplay... it looks simple, yet it strikes directly at the vitals! This is definitely no ordinary swordsmanship!"

"She was actually hiding such formidable swordplay?!"

"It's turned around! She actually turned it around again!"

The crowd below instantly erupted into even more fervent exclamations and uproar than before!

[Extreme Shock from the onlookers +88888!]

[Stunned realization and rage from Chu Youcai +999!]
