CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 49: STILL SHAKEN

Liu Yanran witnessed this scene, a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She rapidly retreated, her movements agile and swift, drawing a circular arc with her long sword across her chest. The sword flowers flickered as she barely managed to block Shi Feiyang’s attack. "Clang! Clang!" The swords and sabers clashed in the air, emitting a crisp metallic sound, sparks flying, a sound seemingly penetrating the soul, filling one with dread.

Shi Feiyang followed relentlessly, giving no respite, each move employing the ultimate techniques of the Hundred Victories Saber Technique, "Heaven and Earth’s Lifespan." The moves contained immense power, as if determined to journey with the heavens and earth to the afterlife.

The saber technique surged like tidal waves, carrying overwhelming pressure, attacking Liu Yanran fiercely.

Liu Yanran was not to be outdone, using the "Divine Water Swordsmanship," her long sword dancing continuously, sword light interwoven, each thrust filled with lively aura, engaging in an intense confrontation with Shi Feiyang. Observers within seven zhang around held their breath, not daring to exhale, secretly worrying for Shi Feiyang. Their eyes filled with tension and anticipation, curious about the ultimate victor of this battle.

The True Qi emanating from Shi Feiyang resembled a gigantic vortex, with magnetic attraction forcefully absorbing the opponent’s inner strength. Liu Yanran’s movements gradually became sluggish, no longer as swift as before, each sword swing seeming difficult.

Even so, she continued to wield her long sword, targeting Shi Feiyang’s critical heart channels.

Shi Feiyang elegantly sidestepped, moving as gracefully as a flying swallow, skillfully avoiding this fatal blow.

Immediately, his Myanmar Saber danced, the momentum suddenly becoming more fierce, more overbearing, each strike carrying the sound of wind-breaking, seemingly intent on destroying everything. The overlapping swords in the air wove a complex web of swordplay, dazzling and intricate, difficult to discern each stroke’s trajectory.

With each intense clash of swords, the crisp sound of metal harmonized with atmospheric vibrations, producing a humming sound.

However, Liu Yanran gradually perceived the vortex of True Qi condensing around Shi Feiyang, creating a strong suction, seemingly drawing her inner strength continuously by the magnetic force.

Moreover, what’s chilling to the core was the bone-piercing coldness contained in Shi Feiyang’s True Qi, piercing through to Liu Yanran’s heart, giving her a start. Liu Yanran couldn’t help but exclaim, "Could this be the legendary Bright Jade Technique?"

At this moment, Shi Feiyang’s skin became transparently jade-like, his inner strength didn’t dissipate outward but instead converged inward. In this fierce battle with Liu Yanran, not only did he not show any loss of inner strength, but it actually strengthened, reaching an endless state.

Therefore, the more Shi Feiyang fought, the braver he became, his saber technique growing sharper with each strike, leaving no room for error.

Although Liu Yanran realized she was being restrained by Shi Feiyang, she snorted coldly, executing the exquisite move "Water Sword Pierces the Sun" from the Divine Water Swordsmanship. A sharp water sword light shot towards Shi Feiyang’s throat, each counterattack perfectly timed, like a fish navigating the waves with ease.

Both pushed their abilities to the peak, determined to deliver a decisive blow to defeat the opponent.

At this moment, Shi Feiyang suddenly let out an angry roar, his voice thunderous, waving his Myanmar Saber to unleash a dazzling sword light, like a flash of lightning streaking through the night sky, direct at Liu Yanran.

In this strike, he poured all his strength, perfectly merging the Bright Jade Technique, Hundred Victories Saber Technique, and his own supreme bloodline power, executing "Heaven and Earth’s Lifespan and Destruction." This is the ultimate killer move of the Hundred Victories Saber Technique, where the saber light reaches, it seems capable of opening heaven and earth, turning everything into nothingness.

Liu Yanran understanding the power of this strike, dared not relax in the slightest, went all out to defend. Her eyes conveyed solemnity and resolve, gathering all her strength into her long sword, bracing for this lethal blow.

Liu Tingting trembled, exclaiming, "Mother, be careful!" Her voice filled with fear and concern, watching her mother face such a formidable attack, her heart seemed gripped by an invisible hand.

However, the power released by Shi Feiyang’s strike was truly beyond ordinary expectation.

Even though Liu Yanran tried her best to block Shi Feiyang’s irresistible sword light, the immense impact force made her unable to maintain balance, causing her to involuntarily stagger back several steps.

In that instant, her face turned as pale as paper, revealing extreme discomfort and weakness, with a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of her mouth.

Shi Feiyang seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, brandishing his blade fiercely, charging at Liu Yanran like a tiger descending a mountain, aiming to slay this opponent under his sword and end this intense duel.

His eyes were filled with determination and resolve, the Myanmar Saber in his hand glinting with a cold chill, like Death’s scythe.

Despite the dire situation Liu Yanran faced, she did not choose to give up. Using superb martial arts and adept body technique, her figure turned, leaving behind a blurred afterimage, like a ghost, skillfully evading Shi Feiyang’s fatal attack.

Subsequently, she appeared beside Shi Feiyang like a ghost, her long sword thrusting like lightning, using the Holy Water Divine Technique in conjunction with the Divine Water Swordsmanship, executing the "Holy Water Spirit Rhinoceros Sword," targeting Shi Feiyang’s vital point.

As the supreme internal power of the Divine Water Palace, cultivators of the Holy Water Divine Technique possess not only deep inner strength but also the ability to convert inner strength into Holy Water power, greatly enhancing the move’s power. This sword strike, swift as lightning, sharp as a viper, carried Liu Yanran’s last hope and struggle.

Facing Liu Yanran’s fierce counterattack, Shi Feiyang hurriedly sidestepped to dodge, but his movement was slightly slow, and his clothing’s edge was slit by the sharp sword tip, narrowly escaping injury. Each exchange of blades was filled with determination and murderous intent, the air laced with tension, even breathing became heavy. The onlookers were shocked by this fierce battle, their eyes filled with fear, witnessing a clash between gods and demons.

Liu Guihua, witnessing this series of thrilling battle scenes, turned pale with fear, collapsing to the ground, unable to move. Her heart was filled with terror, as if gripped by an invisible hand tightly.

Wu Zhong, Xiao Lingling, Liu Dayou, and others were also trembling due to the sudden tense atmosphere, unstable on their feet, fully aware that the outcome of Shi Feiyang and Liu Yanran’s duel would determine their fate and the future of the Martial Arts world.
