Chapter 779: Battle Between the Two Li
Translator: jinzeffect
After landing on the ground, the Heart Sword Sovereign asked, “How many moves does your Skyline Sword Art have?”
Li Jianxin said, “A total of nine moves.”
“Nine moves huh?” The Heart Sword Sovereign was appalled.
The Sword Lord was truly incredible. The first two moves of the Skyline Sword Art were already so powerful. It was truly unknown how much stronger the rest of the seven moves would be.
(TL note: I used Sword Saint as a t.i.tle for the Li Clan’s ancestor previously, it should be Sword Lord)
However, he believed that Li Jianxin had yet to learn the full Skyline Sword Art.
If the first two moves were already so incredible, once the later moves were also mastered, one’s sword skill would certainly reach the extremity. By then, not even the Sword Emperor and the Sword Sovereign would be a match.
But no one knew how many moves Li Jianxin learned. Did he merely learn two moves or three moves, or even four moves?
The Heart Sword Sovereign lost convincingly to Li Jianxin like how he lost to Li Fuchen.
Li Fuchen’s sword dao level was obviously superior to the Heart Sword Sovereign. But for Li Jianxin, the Skyline Sword Art was created by the Sword Lord. Instead of saying that he lost to Li Jianxin, it would be better to say he lost to the Sword Lord’s sword art.
“The Heart Sword Sovereign didn’t lose without a reason. The Skyline Sword Art is one of the strongest sword arts of the Saint Spirit Continent. Back then, the Sword Lord used the Skyline Sword Art to build his reputation in the universe.”
“The Skyline Sword Art pursued for the sword art under the sky and emphasizes on speed. It is said that when the Sword Lord uses the Skyline Sword Art, the speed is even faster than light. A single sword would be enough to slice any star into two.”
“It has been a millennium since anyone cultivated the Skyline Sword Art in the Li Clan. It is a surprise for Li Jianxin to appear in this generation. Furthermore, Li Jianxin is truly outstanding and is able to cultivate the first two moves at the Law Phase Realm.”
The Sword Lord’s Skyline Sword Art was renowned and everyone started their own discussions.
Inside the supreme private room, the Tiger Fang Sword Saint said, “Is that the Skyline Sword Art? It is indeed worthy of its reputation.”
The Skyline Sword Art was superior to even the Mystic Deep Sword Saint’s Mystic Deep Sword Art. The Tiger Fang Sword Saint’s Ferocious Fang Tiger Sword Art was nothing when facing the Skyline Sword Art. Perhaps, only the Guildmaster’s Extreme Yin Nine Sword would be comparable.
The Mystic Deep Sword Saint said, “The Guildmaster has studied the Skyline Sword Art and said he isn’t a match.”
“What? The Guildmaster said he isn’t a match?” The Tiger Fang Sword Saint and the Hundred Flower Sword Saint were stirred up.
The Mystic Deep Sword Saint looked far and said, “The Sword Lord is a heaven lord. The Guildmaster is still lacking one level before becoming a heaven lord.”
The Swordsmen Guild’s guildmaster was famous in the Deep Blue Plane, but he was only a top-cla.s.s saint. Right now, no one knew if there were any heaven lords in the Deep Blue Plane. No one encountered any high-level and peak level saints too. All of them were deep in the universe and searching for their own fated opportunities. No one knew if they had fallen or not.
“That is true.” The Hundred Flower Sword Saint nodded.
As the t.i.tle suggested, heaven lords were comparable to heaven and were lords of heaven.
Since ancient times, all heaven lords were people that intimidated the universe.
The sword art created by the Sword Lord was naturally going to be exceptional and couldn’t be compared with regular saints’ sword arts.
“Li Jianxin is a rather troublesome person.” The Saber Emperor Chu Kuang was a little apprehensive of Li Jianxin.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t make a foe out of Li Jianxin. After all, he didn’t know how many moves Li Jianxin cultivated from the Skyline Sword Art. Furthermore, because of the restrictions of the Swordsmen Tournament, Li Jianxin couldn’t use many other artifacts. If there weren’t any restrictions and he suddenly brought out a few pinnacle cardinal artifacts, Chu Kuang would die even if he had multiple lives.
“Skyline Sword Art huh?” The Sword Sovereign had a very serious expression.
The Sword Sovereign didn’t care about the first and second move of Li Jianxin’s Skyline Sword Art. But he wasn’t certain he could neutralize the third and four moves.
In short, when Li Jianxin executed the Skyline Sword Art, it shocked everyone.
The extremity sword art was also called the extreme dao sword art. In terms of grade, it was a heaven cla.s.s peak-tier sword art. Every heaven cla.s.s peak-tier martial art was very rare. Even a saint had a very hard time to create it. Regular saints would only be able to create heaven cla.s.s high-tier martial arts. Such heaven cla.s.s high-tier martial arts might not be superior to the sword arts used by Li Fuchen and the others.
Next up, Li Fuchen didn’t manage to encounter the Emotionless Sword Emperor Ning Que. Instead, both of them encountered weaker opponents.
“Martial stage 1, Li Fuchen against Li Jianxin.”
Swish! Swish!
Once the referee announced the match, two figures landed on the martial stage at the same time.
Boom!
It felt as though there was a blackhole in the middle of the duo. Their sword prowesses were attracted to each other before clashing and emitting a tsunami-like sound.
It was obvious that the sword dao resonance between the duo was stronger than the sword dao resonance between Li Fuchen and the Heart Sword Sovereign. However, the two of them had yet to make their moves. Whether they could continue producing a sword dao resonance would depend if their sword dao level was on par.
Tang Xing and Murong Youyu had similar sword dao levels, therefore, they produced an intense sword dao resonance. Li Fuchen and the Heart Sword Sovereign had a great gap in their sword dao level, therefore, when they exchanged moves, they didn’t produce another sword dao resonance.
“One is Li Fuchen, one is Li Jianxin. Both of them have the clan names of Li!”
“Could Li Fuchen be related to the Li Clan too?”
“There is a possibility. The Li Clan has been glorious for countless years back then. There might be bloodlines outside.”
“It is unknown who is stronger between Li Fuchen and Li Jianxin.”
Everyone suspected that Li Fuchen possessed the Sword Lord’s bloodline.
He also had the clan name of Li and also had outstanding sword dao talent. Such coincidences were hard to find.
On the martial stage, Li Jianxin stared at Li Fuchen, “Your sword art isn’t bad.”
The void dao sword art was the most all-rounded sword art. Be it when facing fast sword arts or powerful sword arts, the void dao sword art would be able to deal with either. Unless, the difference of sword dao level was too much to overcome.
In addition, the void dao sword art was a kind of extremely fast sword art. In the Deep Blue Plan, there was a heaven cla.s.s peak-tier sword art that was even faster than the Li Clan’s Skyline Sword Art. The sword art was none other than the void dao sword art.
“It is inferior to your Skyline Sword Art.”
Li Fuchen knew of his own limits. His current Primary Extreme Sword Art wasn’t comparable with the Skyline Sword Art, after all, the latter was a heaven cla.s.s peak-tier sword art.
Of course, it was only inferior to the Sword Lord’s Skyline Sword Art, not Li Jianxin’s Skyline Sword Art.
Li Jianxin had penetrative thoughts and naturally understood Li Fuchen’s meaning. He replied indifferently, “Indeed inferior.”
Be it the Sword Lord’s Skyline Sword Art or his Skyline Sword Art, Li Fuchen wasn’t a match. He wasn’t arrogant, he was just stating the facts.
The reason he could cultivate the Skyline Sword Art wasn’t just because of his outstanding perception, it was mainly because he condensed the sword heart.
Without the sword heart, he wouldn’t be able to control the sword dao law flawlessly. Without a flawless control of the sword dao law, it wasn’t possible to comprehend an extremity sword art.
Li Jianxin’s confidence was because of his sword heart and the Skyline Sword Art. He was confident even if he met the legendary Sword Emperor and Sword Sovereign, he would be qualified to fight with them and could even win them.
“My sword art might be inferior, but I have to try. Let me witness the legendary Skyline Sword Art.” Li Fuchen was eager for the match. This would be his first time facing a heaven cla.s.s peak-tier sword art. He was certain that this exchange of moves would have greater rewards than all the exchanges he had earlier. It might even allow them to create an extremity sword move within a short period of time.
Once he created an extremity sword move, even if he encountered a low-level saint, he was certain he could contest.
“Then you better be careful.”
Li Jianxin’s figure turned stiff a little and he suddenly vanished, leaving behind streaks of sword lights.
Skyline Sword Art’s first move, Heaven and Earth Roam.
“It is even faster!” Below the stage, the Heart Sword Sovereign turned stern.
When facing this move, he nearly lost, even his sword move, Heart Mourn had a hard time suppressing this move.
Earlier on, even if Li Jianxin didn’t use the Skyline Sword Art’s second move, the Heart Sword Sovereign wasn’t certain he could beat Li Jianxin.
Right now, Li Jianxin’s sword move was obviously faster than the match earlier. This truly shocked the Heart Sword Sovereign.
Li Jianxin’s Heaven and Earth Roam was indeed faster than the match against the Heart Sword Sovereign. The stronger the opponent, the easier it was to enhance Li Jianxin’s condition. An extremity sword art had a very high demand for condition. Even a trace of difference in condition would produce a magnified difference in reality.
