Chapter 685 Half a Strike (2)
An indescribable power surged out of the Samsara Knife.
Dongmen Chuixue had paid attention to Li Yidao’s knife before.
The Samsara Knife was made of a very special material that he had never seen before.
When he launched the strike with 90% of the power of the Wind and Snow Potential Realm just now, he thought that it would not be a problem for his snow knife to break Li Yidao’s knife. However, he was surprised that Li Yidao managed to withstand the strike. He immediately realized that Li Yidao’s long knife, which was made of a material that was neither stone nor metal, was definitely not simple.
However, he didn’t expect this knife to be so complex.
Like a raging tide, the pressure surging from the Samsara Knife instantly shattered the snow knife into pieces.
“What?”
Dongmen Chuixue was dumbfounded.
The snow knife resumed its complete form the moment it was shattered.
He borrowed potential from heaven and earth again.
The power of the Wind and Snow Potential Realm was gathered once again.
However, the snow knife was shattered once again almost at the same time when it resumed its complete form.
In an instant, the snow knife was shattered and then resumed its complete form for many times, as if it were reincarnated repeatedly.
Dongmen Chuixue performed the secret skill of the King Realm and borrowed potential from heaven and earth and the universe like crazy. He almost borrowed all the power of heaven and earth and the universe within the range of hundreds of miles, but it was futile.
The power surging from the long, narrow, and thick white Samsara Knife was unstoppable, like a raging tide that split the sky.
In the end, all the power of heaven and earth was borrowed.
The snow knife was no longer able to resume its original form.
It was shattered to pieces.
The white Samsara Knife finally cut into the left side of Dongmen Chuixue’s chest.
An incomparably strong power destroyed his protective treasures and his final struggle in an instant.
The cutting edge easily cut through his muscles.
Blood spurted out.
Li Mu said, “This is the remaining half of the strike… Now it is a complete strike, a strike by Li Yidao.”
The fight was over.
“What on earth is this power? His hand…”
This question popped up in Dongmen Chuixue’s head at the last moment before he lost consciousness.
He was closest to Li Mu and saw the strange scene of Li Mu’s arm turning into white bones.
It was only after Li Yidao’s arm had turned into white bones that his strength increased drastically.
This scene would stay in Dongmen Chuixue’s memory forever and never fade away.
Then Dongmen Chuixue was sent flying from No. 21 Immortal-slaying Platform and fell to the ground.
He struggled to get back on his feet, and his essence and blood squirted out of his mouth. The wound in his chest was shocking. A long blood trail from the left to the right across his chest almost separated his body into two pieces. The knife directly cut open his sternum, revealing his internal organs, which were still intact…
He just stood on the ground stiffly without falling, glaring at Li Mu.
“Young Master!”
The Knife Hut servant wearing a blue robe and a small hat rushed over. Eager to protect his master, he hurriedly steadied Dongmen Chuixue.
“Get off…” Dongmen Chuixue threw up his arms and freed himself from this loyal servant. He stared at Li Mu on the Immortal-slaying Platform and said, “Li Yidao, your… the last half of your strike, what kind of power is that? What formidable skills are you practicing?”
Li Mu ignored Dongmen Chuixue.
The power of his white-bone right arm fell into a slumber again.
His right arm and palm resumed the original form with flesh and blood.
He slowly sheathed the Samsara Knife.
“Who else?”
He ran his eyes over the hundreds of thousands of pract.i.tioners who were watching the fight.
The crowd stayed silent.
In fact, the pract.i.tioners had fallen into silence the moment Dongmen Chuixue was thrown off the Immortal-slaying Platform.
The 20th one on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions had been defeated.
A super Heavenly Legend had been defeated.
He was defeated so suddenly and strangely.
No one clearly saw what had happened on the Immortal-slaying Platform.
The “Wind and Snow Potential Realm” covered the entire Immortal-slaying Platform during the fight just now.
No one had clearly witnessed the course of the fight.
At first, many pract.i.tioners thought that Dongmen Chuixue got the upper hand. Actually, before the fight began, among the hundreds of thousands of pract.i.tioners, only a few thousands of them believed that Li Yidao would win, and the others stood on the side of Dongmen Chuixue, the super Heavenly Legend. However, they didn’t expect that what they would see after the snowstorm receded was not Li Yidao’s bitter defeat, but the fall of Dongmen Chuixue from the Immortal-slaying Platform.
Li Yidao remained unscathed without even a single scratch on his body.
He drew his knife, waved it, and withdrew it.
He always repeated these movements.
He always won.
The defeat of Dongmen Chuixue meant the destruction of a super Heavenly Legend.
It also meant the birth of a new legendary master of martial arts.
Another person had made his way into the top 20.
A new super Heavenly Legend finally emerged under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of pract.i.tioners. He was the “G.o.d of Broadswords”, Li Yidao.
Li Yidao.
From now on, he would deserve the t.i.tle of the “G.o.d of Broadswords”.
“I’ll challenge you again… I will not lose next time.”
Dongmen Chuixue was recovering from injury slowly.
The cultivation and secret skills of king-level pract.i.tioners in recovery were much more powerful than those of ordinary pract.i.tioners.
However, it was impossible for Dongmen Chuixue to fight again.
Falling off the Immortal-slaying Platform meant defeat.
After this fight, he would surely fall out of the top 20.
It was a great loss.
With the help of the loyal Knife Hut servant, Dongmen Chuixue, who was unwilling to give up, turned around and walked away, feeling lost and depressed.
The pract.i.tioners around the platform made way for him and watched him leave.
The old king left.
The new king ascended the throne.
Although Dongmen Chuixue lost the fight, he was still worthy of respect.
It was not that he was not powerful.
It was just that Li Yidao was too powerful.
Li Yidao had a strong power that no one could understand or see through.
Li Yidao’s broadsword had magic power.
For a long time, there had been no one that dared to challenge him.
“Go back.”
Li Mu stepped off No. 21 Immortal-slaying Platform.
This Immortal-slaying Platform would definitely become a place of miracles admired by countless pract.i.tioners for some time in the future.
Because there was a legend of winning a one hundred victories in a single day here.
Dongfang Piaoliang, who was too excited to speak, drove the flying boat himself and took Li Mu back to the posthouse.
It was only after the flying boat had disappeared into the distant sky that the pract.i.tioners around No. 21 Immortal-slaying Platform came back to their senses, as if they had just woken up from a dream, and burst into an uproar as loud as a tsunami.
The uproar echoed between heaven and earth like a spring thunder.
This was just the beginning.
A strange look appeared on the handsome face of the “G.o.d of Sword”, w.a.n.g Yanyi, who had been in the crowd all the time.
In the uproar like a spring thunder, he slowly turned around and left.
He took just a few steps and disappeared into the void.
The people crowded around him didn’t realize that one person was missing until he disappeared completely.
“What?”
In the palace of the Heavenly Deity Clan, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan stood up anxiously, and wine spilled from his gla.s.s.
He had never lost his composure like this before.
The silver-armored guard kneeling below the stairs whispered, “Your Highness, Li Yidao has taken another step forward on the Immortal-slaying Platform. He defeated Dongmen Chuixue with only one strike and made his way into the top 20. It’s a foregone conclusion…”
Upon hearing those words, other Heavenly Legends and pract.i.tioners in the hall became so shocked that they couldn’t speak.
The news was simply too shocking.
Dongmen Chuixue ranked 20th on the list.
“He is a super Heavenly Legend. Is he unable to block Li Yidao’s strike?”
All of them realized that they had underestimated the young man from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
“Um? How could such a thing happen?”
The “Blighting Dark Demon” received the same news.
This completely defied his judgment on Li Yidao’s strength.
“How could such a thing happen?”
The “Blighting Dark Demon” fell into silence after he finished watching the whole fight in the image created by Water Mirror Technique.
Others might not be able to see anything, but he could see how Li Yidao, who was at an absolute disadvantage at first, suddenly fought back at the last moment before he was defeated.
“There’s something strange about that arm. It actually transformed into white bones.”
The “Blighting Dark Demon” repeatedly watched the clip that showed how Li Yidao turned defeat into victory at the last moment. He finally found some clues.
However, he couldn’t figure out what the transformation of Li Yidao’s arm into white bones meant.
Was that some kind of Cultivation Method?
Was he using someone else’s power?
There was no way to make a right guess.
In the end, he could only come to a conclusion——
Li Yidao had reserved his power in the previous fights.
He reserved his very formidable power.
“Is that his trump card?”
If that was the case, it wouldn’t be easy to rope Li Yidao in.
However, the only good news was that Li Yidao came from a very humble background.
The Brilliance Immortal Star Region was a barren and desolate place in the Ziwei Star Zone. Otherwise, Li Yidao would not rank below 900th while he was the top Heavenly Legend in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. No matter how talented the pract.i.tioners from this region were, it would be difficult for them to establish their own sect. They would certainly attach themselves to a power like one of the six major clans.
Their foundation was too weak.
Due to this reason, Li Yidao could only survive by depending on a clan of power in the end.
Otherwise, the great powers would not allow such a talented pract.i.tioner to rise up, because he would eventually become a threat to them.
Therefore, Li Yidao and w.a.n.g Yanyi became the most lonesome and isolated ones among the top 20 Heavenly Legends.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe walked out of his private house.
“Young master…”
The leader of the blue-armor pract.i.tioners hurriedly came up and whispered something in his ear.
“Oh? Is there such a thing?”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe was greatly astonished and could not hide his shock.
“Li Yidao has defeated Dongmen Chuixue. How could that be possible?
“That shouldn’t be possible.”
According to his investigation and deduction, it was certain that Li Yidao should not have such strong power.
As a “local tyrant”, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe had more information channels than others.
He had already investigated it thoroughly. Li Yidao was just a pract.i.tioner in the Soldier Realm. Even if he wanted to hide his true realm, he couldn’t hide it anyway. Then, he only had amazing physical strength… No matter what, he would never be a match for Dongmen Chuixue, who had mastered the power of the “Potential Realm”.
Dongmen Chuixue was from the Snow Devil Clan. At first, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe thought highly of him and believed that he had a chance to go further, but in the end… The young master of the Green Fox Tribe found it somewhat unbelievable.
He soon stopped thinking about Dongmen Chuixue.
Instead, he s.h.i.+fted his attention to Li Yidao.
It was already a foregone conclusion that Li Yidao would be ranked among the top 20 after this fight. That meant that Li Yidao broke the fragile balance between the super Heavenly Legends once again after the miracle performed by the “G.o.d of Sword”, w.a.n.g Yanyi.
“This year’s Heavenly Legends contest is different from the sessions in the past. There have been some waves and changes. Hehe, this is going to be fun. Who will be the variable, Li Yidao or w.a.n.g Yanyi?”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe was not sure.
He thought for a moment and said, “Someone send this invitation card to Li Yidao and invite him to attend the banquet in my mansion.”
