198: Chapter 202

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

Xiao Yunfei's intent to kill grew stronger. His [Demonic Dismemberment] kept bursting with Traits. After burning through the gray Traits Su Yuan had gifted him, his own Traits began to burst as well!

His sword Moves became increasingly ruthless and tricky, with the tip of his sword targeting Su Yuan's joints and acupuncture points—areas difficult to defend—attempting to break the stalemate with exquisite technique.

As expected of someone who had devoured Su Yu's [Supreme Sword Body]; even though Su Yuan had eaten so many swordfish, his Sword Technique still couldn't compare to Xiao Yunfei's!

However, although Su Yuan's Sword Technique Realm was inferior to his, the greatsword in his hand was swung with wide, sweeping motions, always blocking or dodging in the most direct and effective way. Coupled with the [Far Ahead] prediction, he was always able to anticipate Xiao Yunfei's attack trajectory in advance.

Xiao Yunfei was forced to dodge frequently, unable to fully utilize the advantage of his exquisite Sword Technique.

"Hmph! You're just relying on raw strength!" Xiao Yunfei snorted coldly.

"Oh, just raw strength? Then let me show you a few Moves I just practiced!"

With that, the greatsword in his hand shifted, transforming into a long halberd in the blink of an eye.

"Three Styles of Heavenly Halberd — Suppress the Mountains and Rivers!"

This ultimate Move forced Xiao Yunfei to retreat three steps.

"— Shake the Universe!"

This Move was similar to sweeping through an army; it was an area-of-effect Martial Skill. Although Xiao Yunfei had tried his best to dodge, he was still grazed by the tip of the halberd. The immense force of the halberd was not something he could contend with; he was sent flying backward, his blood and Qi churning!

"— Breaking the Firmament!" This was the third style of the Three Styles of Heavenly Halberd and also his strongest Move. Su Yuan thrust his long halberd straight at Xiao Yunfei.

"Clang!" The tip of the halberd collided with Xiao Yunfei's long sword.

"Crack!" Xiao Yunfei's sword was actually snapped into two pieces by Su Yuan's strike.

"Pfft!" Xiao Yunfei was also injured by the immense force, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"Hmph! Impressive indeed!"

"Let's end it here for today. There will be other days; the next time we meet, it will definitely be your death day!"

Xiao Yunfei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, threw away the broken sword in his hand, turned around, and fled.

"Damn it..." Xiao Yunfei's chest heaved violently as he cursed inwardly.

He had lost again. He had lost once more to this guy whom he had once regarded as an ant!

Feeling his spiritual energy within him being suppressed to the same level as Su Yuan's, that sense of stifling frustration almost drove him mad.

"...Golden talent [Equality of All Beings], damn it! It's clearly a trash Trait!" Xiao Yunfei's eyes turned red with hatred!

Although he didn't understand how a trash Trait could be so effective, he knew how to break it! As long as he disengaged from the battle and put enough distance between them, he could escape the effect of the [Equality of All Beings] Trait and rapidly recover all his cultivation!

Last time, that was exactly how he had managed to escape.

"Su Yuan! I will remember today's humiliation! I will pay you back a hundredfold in the future!"

Leaving behind this harsh threat, Xiao Yunfei turned around without hesitation, pushed his Movement Technique to the limit, and transformed into a blur as he sped away into the distance!

It was the same last time! As long as he left the battle range and his cultivation recovered, Su Yuan would absolutely be unable to catch up with him! It was the same last time!

This was his confidence, and also the reason why, after failing last time, he dared to appear before Su Yuan again this time.

"Hmph! Still trying to run?"

"Today is not like the past; three days apart and one should look at each other with new eyes! Unfortunately, you don't understand this principle!"

A cold arc curled at the corner of Su Yuan's mouth. He had no intention of chasing, instead standing in place calmly.

"Still trying to use the old tricks? Unfortunately, Senior Brother, times have changed."

Just as Xiao Yunfei was about to rush out of the venue's entrance, with a hint of relief at having escaped already appearing on his face—the space in front of him rippled slightly like water!

The next instant, Su Yuan's figure appeared out of thin air, [Divine Ability: Space Blink]!!

Su Yuan's figure blocked Xiao Yunfei's path precisely, as if he had been standing there from the very beginning!

"What?! How is this possible!"

"What kind of Martial Skill is this!" Xiao Yunfei's pupils constricted sharply, and he was terrified!

This was completely beyond his range of understanding! Teleportation? Could this be the legendary Divine Ability? Damn it! How could this guy have a Divine Ability!

Xiao Yunfei hurriedly turned to flee, but this time! Su Yuan didn't give his opponent any time to react at all. The moment his figure solidified, his attack had already erupted!

"Zheng—!" A clear sword hum seemed to come from beyond the Nine Heavens!

A Flying Sword containing a supreme sharpness shot out; this was the [Longyuan Sword] fished out from the [Dragon Palace]!

[Divine Ability: One Sword Separates the World]! A new way of using his Divine Ability that Su Yuan had thought of! Letting the Flying Sword execute [One Sword Separates the World]!

And as for him! At the same time, the heavy fangtian halberd in Su Yuan's hand also erupted with brilliant light!

The muscles in his arms bulged, and he poured all his spiritual energy into it without reservation. The halberd's shaft vibrated, emitting a hum like a Dragon's roar! Then, with the force of splitting heaven and earth, he swung it fiercely! [Breaking the Firmament]!

A beam of destructive sword light, condensed to the extreme and seemingly capable of splitting space!

A vast and mighty torrent of violent spiritual energy, wanting to pierce through the heavens!

The two, one above and one below, both erupted fiercely, containing Su Yuan's strongest will and power at this moment, like two roaring Dragons, instantly shrouding Xiao Yunfei's figure completely!

"No—!!!" Xiao Yunfei only had time to let out a short and desperate roar; his eyes were filled with unbelievable terror.

All his Protective Aura and his black cloak were like paper in the face of these two converging destructive energies, shattering instantly!

Boom—!!! The violent energy shockwave spread in all directions, tearing the ground apart, and smoke and dust rose into the sky!

Su Yuan landed back on the ground slowly, waiting quietly for the smoke and dust to dissipate. The scent of gunpowder mixed with dust permeated the air, slowly settling. The residual heat at the center of the explosion had not yet faded, and the hot air distorted his vision. Su Yuan's chest heaved slightly; unleashing his two strongest Moves just now had inevitably caused him some exhaustion!

"Xiao Yunfei... is he dead?" He stared unblinkingly at the battle area, which had been ravaged beyond recognition, his eyes filled with anticipation!

"Could he still not be dead after this?" In that instant just now, he had held nothing back, using his Flying Sword to execute the supreme Divine Ability [One Sword Separates the World], while simultaneously unleashing his strongest strike [Breaking the Firmament] with the halberd in his hand.

The convergence of two extreme forces produced a destructive power that could be called terrifying; this was already the Peak of what he could currently achieve.

"Like this... it should be over, right?"
