CHAPTER 1257: CHAPTER 1250: YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME?

Roar!

Suddenly, Wanggu Ziyi, forced into a disadvantage by Huang Xiaolong, unleashed a violent surge of sword light throughout his body, and countless azure long swords flew out from within him.

These azure long swords were like jade, shining with a jade-like cold light, each measuring about one and a half meters. The size and shape were identical, no more, no less, a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine!

The nine hundred and ninety-nine azure long swords shimmered, forming a large Buddha circle, enveloping Huang Xiaolong.

"Great Salvation Sword Formation!"

Someone exclaimed.

Indeed, it was the strongest sword array of the Wangu Clan, the Great Salvation Sword Formation!

The Great Salvation Sword Formation formed by nine hundred and ninety-nine azure long swords continued to spin above Huang Xiaolong’s head, and with each rotation, nine hundred and ninety-nine sword lights blossomed.

At the same time, it emitted waves of Buddha Light like rolling waves.

Huang Xiaolong found that these Buddha Lights could not only increase the power of the sword lights but also suppress and weaken the opponent’s strength!

Huang Xiaolong smirked coldly to himself, too bad, Wanggu Ziyi was facing him! Sometime during the clash, Huang Xiaolong’s Mulberry Wood Sword appeared in his hand; with a flip of his wrist, layers of Sword Screens emerged, blocking the nine hundred and ninety-nine sword lights.

Each layer of Sword Screen, no more, no less, also happened to be nine hundred and ninety-nine sword lights.

The two collided.

Sword lights shot out furiously.

Everyone’s eyes stung from the piercing sword lights, and although the stage had a protective shield, the sword lights seemed to pierce through, threatening everyone.

The sword lights from the two combatants had already transcended spatial constraints.

In an instant, the two exchanged hundreds of sword moves.

Initially, Wanggu Ziyi attacked while Huang Xiaolong defended, then Huang Xiaolong attacked while Wanggu Ziyi defended, and once more Wanggu Ziyi attacked while Huang Xiaolong defended.

Their figures became faster than before.

Rising and falling, like two sword lights cutting through the sky, extremely sharp.

The stage was filled with sword lights, every nook and cranny was saturated with them.

Eventually, it seemed that Huang Xiaolong and Wanggu Ziyi’s figures vanished altogether, leaving only countless sword lights clashing and blossoming, sometimes sounding like thunder, sometimes silent like gentle rain, sometimes fierce like a storm, and other times tender like a gentle breeze.

Everyone watched the stage in shock, feeling as if they couldn’t breathe, as if they had become one with the sword aura on the stage.

The crowd was immersed in the world of their swordsmanship.

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor couldn’t help but praise, "A peerless genius in swordsmanship!"

It was unclear if he referred to Huang Xiaolong or Wanggu Ziyi.

Apparently influenced by Huang Xiaolong’s and Wanggu Ziyi’s sword aura, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor was also surrounded by a floating sword glow, appearing around him like a mist, neither dispersing nor fading, sometimes flickering in and out.

Wan Yan Ancestor and others were astonished that Huang Xiaolong and Wanggu Ziyi’s swordsmanship could even inspire the Heavenly Sword Ancestor to comprehend something!

On the stage, the sword aura still raged.

However, some Ancestor God level experts could see that the sword aura on the stage was gradually transforming—the jade sword aura from Wanggu Ziyi’s Great Salvation Sword Formation was starting to weaken?!

Whereas the sword aura from Huang Xiaolong’s Mulberry Wood Sword grew stronger.

Gradually, even the higher-level Ancient God experts noticed this.

The crowd was in shock.

Even with the Great Salvation Sword Formation, Wanggu Ziyi was suppressed by Huang Xiaolong?!

Suddenly, the jade sword light surged violently, and a loud bang echoed across the stage.

Then, Wanggu Ziyi, engulfed in Qilin Flames, attacked Huang Xiaolong desperately.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaolong smirked coldly, realizing Wanggu Ziyi resorted to Qilin Flames after the Great Salvation Sword Formation proved ineffective against him.

It seemed Wanggu Ziyi had reached the end of his rope, otherwise, knowing his Ice Cold Power could suppress Wanggu Ziyi’s Qilin Flames, he wouldn’t have deployed it.

Huang Xiaolong activated his Demon God Supreme Divine Status, transforming the Dark Divine Power into the ultimate Ice Cold Power to meet the attack.

Instantly, the sword aura vanished, replaced by soaring flames and an ice and snow-covered stage.

Wanggu Ziyi, at the Ancient God Sixth Stage Early Stage Peak, being the first genius of the Wangu Clan with exceptional talent and strength, was a perfect benchmark for Huang Xiaolong to test his own prowess, which is why Huang Xiaolong wasn’t in a hurry to defeat him.

Earlier, matching Wanggu Ziyi punch for punch in bodily strength provided Huang Xiaolong with a clearer understanding of his Primordial Dragon Divine Body.

Competing with Wanggu Ziyi in swordsmanship also significantly enhanced Huang Xiaolong’s comprehension of swordsmanship.

Moreover, Huang Xiaolong intended to show Wanggu Ziyi that regardless of the competition, he could utterly suppress Wanggu Ziyi. He wanted to make him concede both mentally and physically, leading him to complete despair.

...

Over an hour later.

The crowd stared at Wanggu Ziyi on the stage, his hair disheveled, face contorted in pain, blood at the corner of his mouth, with mixed emotions.

By this time, it was evident to everyone that Wanggu Ziyi was bound to lose.

Just moments ago, Wanggu Ziyi was blasted by Huang Xiaolong’s punch, sent rolling to the edge of the stage.

Wanggu Ziyi, actually lost?!

No one anticipated that an Ancient God Sixth Stage Early Stage Peak, possessing the Ancient Crystal Beast Body and trained in the Great Salvation Sword Formation, with Qilin Flames approaching Qilin Black Flame levels, would lose!

And he lost to Huang Xiaolong.

This outcome was unforeseen before the competition.

"Huang Xiaolong!" Wanggu Ziyi stood up, locking his blood-red eyes on Huang Xiaolong, with a sinister, ferocious smile: "Do you truly believe you can defeat me?!"

Wanggu Ziyi’s entire body began to undulate.

It looked like he was about to cast some Ancient Secret Techniques.

Throughout this hour, Wanggu Ziyi had already employed dozens of Ancient Secret Techniques, earning Huang Xiaolong’s respect for Wanggu Ziyi’s fortuitous encounters that allowed him to successfully cultivate so many Ancient Secret Techniques, all known for their formidable reputation.

While Wanggu Ziyi’s body undulated, Huang Xiaolong’s figure suddenly vanished into thin air, reappearing before Wanggu Ziyi.

He unleashed the full power of the Three Supreme Divine Forms, and his fists bombarded out.

Wanggu Ziyi howled in agony, his chest exploded, turning into a bloody mess, rendering the Ancient Crystal Beast Body useless.

The plaza was silent.

"Make him concede," said Wanggu Rui, Clan Leader of the Wangu Clan, with a somber expression.

If this continued, Wanggu Ziyi would be utterly ruined by Huang Xiaolong!

According to the competition rules of the Four Continents, unless a disciple voluntarily admits defeat, no one else can intervene.

Just then, Huang Xiaolong unleashed another punch. This time, he harnessed the Azure Dragon Flame of the Four Great Divine Flames, and everyone witnessed an azure dragon formed of flame pierce through Wanggu Ziyi’s body with Huang Xiaolong’s Fist Power.

Subsequently, the Azure Dragon Flame coiled around Wanggu Ziyi’s body, instantly releasing the scent of burnt flesh.

Wanggu Ziyi shrieked horribly.

Huang Xiaolong coldly said, "This is for my brother Luo Yunjie!" Then, he unleashed another punch, smashing Wanggu Ziyi’s heart directly.

"This is my gift to you."
