266: I would like to call you the strongest!

At this very moment,

Yun Zhiyi had to admit that the performance of this spy, whose affiliation was unknown, truly exceeded his expectations.

A Five-Rank Martial Artist with such exquisite saber techniques was indeed impressive.

But Yun Zhiyi did not want to be captured.

His mission was not yet complete.

The secret he carried, once successfully comprehended, would be the foundation for him to reach the pinnacle of the world!

How could he fall in such a place? And at the hands of a Five-Rank Martial Artist?

It was simply a joke!

At this moment, Yun Zhiyi slowly ascended into the air.

Facing Shen Bei, who seemed to effortlessly cut down his attacks on the ground and remained completely unharmed.

His expression was solemn, and Saber Qi gathered on his single arm. This time, the Saber Qi was neither as grand and powerful as the Burning Sun nor as unfathomably dangerous as the Dark Moon. Although it wasn't accompanied by scorching flames or chilling winds, as he struck with his palm, the thin line of air before his palm-saber suddenly twisted, and a large expanse of invisible Chaos Qi extended downwards!

This saber strike was Yun Zhiyi's fusion and compression of the scorching and icy crescent moons, condensing them into a single line!

It swirled and cut, like a saw and a wheel, with even greater power and ferocity than before!

Buzz!

The saber's sound was like thunder, and its light danced. Shen Bei still swung his saber to meet the spreading, cutting Chaos Qi.

This fierce clash erupted in a huge, long, and piercing sound of thunder!

This thunderous sound, like Divine Might, echoed ceaselessly.

The brick factory was already located in the suburban mountains, making it convenient to extract soil for brick burning.

Within the surrounding ten-plus li of mountains, countless birds and beasts were suddenly startled and fled frantically.

Shen Bei's saber momentum was no longer an unstoppable, flowing current, but instead, it suddenly paused, and even his body trembled. The ground within a ten-zhang (thirty-meter) radius around him first shook, then the soil and sand silently collapsed into a pile of dust, sinking further down!

"What other moves do you have?"

Shen Bei let out a long roar, his saber light swirled, stirring up the sky-filling dust, and his True Qi became even more surging and turbulent.

He directly activated the Martial Skill: King Kong Indestructible!

After destroying the crescent moon, the residual power of the flames would have been fatal to ordinary Martial Artists, but against his monstrous physique, it had no effect whatsoever.

Even with the protection of his Qi and blood on the surface of his skin, his clothes remained largely intact.

Yun Zhiyi's martial cultivation Realm far surpassed Shen Bei's, but he was extremely wary of the strange Sun and Moon Annihilation Drawing Blade Technique that Shen Bei had used before.

No one knew if Shen Bei still had the ability to activate that saber technique.

After all, there were all sorts of killing methods and Martial Dao techniques in the world, and methods of forcibly burning Qi and blood or True Qi to activate Martial Skills far beyond one's Realm were not unheard of.

Yun Zhiyi manipulated the ice and fire moons for long-range attacks, while Shen Bei could only passively endure, taking hit after hit of the power of heaven and earth!

In fact, Shen Bei also threw Shadow Needless in retaliation.

But these minor tricks seemed to have no effect on Yun Zhiyi, a pure waste of True Qi.

Of course, the Absorbing Skill was also a bit too far to reach.

It was unclear if Yun Zhiyi was unaware or knew that Shen Bei possessed a Martial Skill to absorb True Qi.

As Shen Bei resisted, he advanced a few steps, but Yun Zhiyi floated backward, always maintaining his distance.

Yun Zhiyi's idea was simple: Shen Bei's true attributes were simply too terrifying.

He could only fight a war of attrition.

Before the attrition was complete, he absolutely could not let Shen Bei get close!

However, although Shen Bei's stamina and strength were indeed constantly being consumed, strangely, he still showed no signs of faltering.

The light flowing over the twin sabers in his hands, however, became increasingly smooth and sharp, increasingly full of leaping, agile vitality, and increasingly unstoppable, making it impossible to look directly at.

"Shen Bei! Below the Five-Rank, I am willing to call you the first!"

Amidst the howling winds and shaking earth, Yun Zhiyi's aura was wild, and instead of feeling defeated, he burst into laughter:

"But it's a pity this is not a fair sparring match. If your skill is inferior, you naturally die!"

Just as the crescent moon fell to the ground, shaking the surroundings, and flames flew everywhere!

An incomparably scorching, blazing flame also rose from Yun Zhiyi's body, swirling and soaring. The originally chilling icy-blue light instantly receded, and under the traction and absorption of his Qi, countless streams of starlight and brilliant golden flowers flew and gathered around his body. The air became twisted and blurred under the intense burning!

A ball of scorching flame flickered, instantly condensing into a crescent-shaped flame Saber Qi on Yun Zhiyi's palm. Controlling this crimson flame Saber Qi, which emitted infinite light and heat, Yun Zhiyi formed his fingers into a saber and slashed down from the sky!

Buzz!

The flame Saber Qi sliced through the sky, burning the horizon!

With an awe-inspiring Divine Might that seemed to cleave the heavens and earth, it appeared to want to slice through the space before him with a single strike!

The heaven-cleaving saber light was not just one, but ten consecutive strikes, crisscrossing and sweeping, descending upon Shen Bei from different angles. The sound of tearing air was like the thunder of Nine Heavens, its momentum overwhelming!

Ten Saber Slashes!

Facing such a violent, merciless, and world-destroying terrifying assault, the saber light in Shen Bei's hand suddenly vibrated violently, leaving a fantastical trajectory in the air, like a butcher dismembering an ox, entering the gaps with no thickness, easily cutting down the flame Saber Qi!

Martial Skill: Star Constellation Intermittent Kill!

For a moment, countless streams of light exploded, and amidst the surging air currents, the clouds in the high sky were impacted, and the cloud layers were swept away, becoming clear for thousands of miles, as clean as if washed!

Amidst the violent explosion of flame Qi, Shen Bei's saber light was like a Dragon, surging up and down, transforming into countless elusive, cold sabers, flashing and disappearing within the sea of fire and saber light, continuously striking down the successive scorching crescent moons!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Under the earth-shaking impact, the location of the brick factory, subjected to terrifying power, saw the mountain where soil was extracted vanish!

Rolling sand and shattered rocks tumbled down from the mountain!

In an instant, ten saber strikes had passed, accompanied by increasingly loud sounds of clashing blades, proving that Shen Bei's saber was becoming increasingly difficult to smoothly cut through the flame Saber Qi, and the last strike even produced a thunderous roar, soaring into the Nine Heavens, echoing ceaselessly.

Just at this moment!

The eleventh crescent moon arrived in an instant!

This crescent moon was no longer bright and scorching, but an icy moon emitting a chilling cold!

Yun Zhiyi, after unleashing ten consecutive saber strikes without any pause, delivered this final, decisive blow!

This swift and unparalleled icy crescent moon instantly collided violently with Shen Bei's twin sabers, which had already become incredibly scorching!

Bang!

A sound of metal shattering rang out, and as the extremely condensed icy aura permeated and spread, the twin sabers instantly broke!

Under the extreme shifts between hot and cold, the twin sabers from Oleg, Blood Sea and Corpse Mountain, shattered.

At the same time the twin sabers shattered, the scattered flames that had been torn apart by Shen Bei's ten saber strikes swirled and surged, completely engulfing and devouring him!

The workers and laborers on the side, watching the dull roars erupt, were all dumbfounded.

It was a series of ice and fire flames expanding and spreading violently with the momentum of a mountain collapse and a tsunami, dyeing half the sky with the colors of ice and fire!

"Hiss~~~ Is the destructive power of a Martial Artist really that great?"

"It's like the end of the world!"

"This fight is too epic, isn't it?"

"I still don't understand what they're fighting about!"

"Nonsense! Yun Zhiyi is a wanted criminal!"

"But Shen Bei isn't from the Martial Arts Management Bureau or the military either, isn't he just meddling? Now look, his weapons are broken!"

"How do you know Shen Bei isn't an official person?"

"That's a really amateur question. Have you ever seen an official Martial Artist come out to work part-time to supplement his income?"

"Uh..."

...

Just as Shen Bei's long saber broke and he was engulfed by the flame Qi, Yun Zhiyi watched with narrowed eyes, his heart also tensing.

Undoubtedly, Shen Bei displayed extraordinary strength and physique.

Among those of the same Realm, it could be said to be unheard of and unseen.

If not for witnessing it firsthand, no one, no matter how much they thought about it, would believe that there was a Five-Rank Martial Artist in the world who, merely with twin sabers in hand, could cut down, saber by saber, the attacks of a Six-Rank Martial Artist who was fully exerting himself and mobilizing the power of heaven and earth!

Not only his saber technique, but also his personal physique remained completely unharmed by the impact of the residual flame power, reaching a state of being impervious to fire and water, King Kong Indestructible.

Even with a qualitative difference in Realm, in comparison, Yun Zhiyi had no confidence whatsoever in surpassing the Five-Rank Shen Bei in terms of physique.

The only pity was that no matter how astonishing Shen Bei's saber technique or how powerful his physique, the fundamental difference in Realm still made the outcome of this struggle not optimistic.

In the low sky, after consecutively unleashing eleven crescent moons, Yun Zhiyi also felt his True Qi flowing sluggishly due to exhaustion. Despite this, he showed no hesitation, took a deep breath, and his hand seals rose again!

His heart was like the Ming Mirror: Shen Bei would absolutely not die from the impact of these residual crescent moon powers; the battle was still not over!

Just as the Void Realm around him slightly trembled, and specks of free-floating energy gathered—

Rumble!

The surging sea of brilliant flames suddenly shook, instantly shattering!

As it shattered, huge dark shadows, emitting intense flames and high temperatures, shot towards Yun Zhiyi like cannonballs, with a whistling sound that tore through the air!

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Yun Zhiyi's figure floated like a goose feather in the low sky, narrowly dodging the cannonball-like black shadows!

These continuously shooting objects were, surprisingly, the charred remains of brick kilns, some the size of millstones, others the size of calves!

The entire brick kiln was now shattered, with large chunks of fused bricks everywhere.

And Shen Bei's figure, after the brilliant flames shattered, transformed into lightning.

Ignoring the high temperature, with a fierce push of his palm, a colossal, mountain-collapsing and tsunami-like force erupted. Each huge brick and small stone was no different, continuously shooting towards Yun Zhiyi in the low sky!

Under Shen Bei's immense strength, these fused bricks were probably no less powerful than actual cannonball impacts.

The moment his twin sabers broke, although Shen Bei was surprised, his mind was extremely calm.

Without the slightest panic, he continued to fight!

"Useless effort!"

Amidst his flickering figure, facing the even denser barrage of large brick chunks, Yun Zhiyi let out an earth-shattering roar that echoed through the surroundings. In an instant, a dozen or so crescent moons, even smaller than before, suddenly appeared around him, tearing through the air and falling down like a deluge!

Chii chii chii!

Although these crescent moons were small, they were equally extremely sharp, and in their collision with the dense brick cannonballs, they cut them all to pieces, sending stone fragments flying and flames falling like meteors.

For a moment, it was as if a sky-full of fire rain was falling upon the shattered brick kiln.

But Shen Bei remained unconcerned, tireless. All the bricks on the ground became his tools for long-range attacks. With his figure continuously flashing, every brick, large or small, was struck by his seemingly light palm and hurled towards Yun Zhiyi!

"I told you, these are all useless efforts. Do you think you can crush me with such a wild idea as throwing stones?"

Watching Shen Bei's desperate struggle, with the battle already completely under control, Yun Zhiyi became calm and composed. As his figure swayed, his hand seals changed, and small crescent moons fell, closely pursuing the lightning-like, elusive Shen Bei.

In his view, Shen Bei was already fish on his chopping block, just waiting for his stamina to be exhausted or even decline, and that would be the moment he died by his hand!
