Bō Xié vs. Black Furnace Demon Sword

"————"

As if all the cheers around them had been shut out, an indescribable silence fell between Fang Li and Ayato Amagiri in that instant.

Looking at Fang Li's calm expression and listening to Fang Li plain words, Ayato Amagiri seemed to understand the kind of persistence he held in his heart, and his expression slowly began to freeze.

"Ayato..."

Nearby, Saya Sasamiya seemed to sense the atmosphere between the two and softly called out to Ayato Amagiri.

Although her voice lacked some variation, giving the impression of being unmotivated and lacking emotion, Ayato Amagiri, as her childhood friend of many years, could still sense a hint of seriousness in Saya Sasamiya's voice.

That's the attitude of understanding the opponent's strength.

At that moment, Ayato Amagiri nodded and said in a low voice, "This might be an even more troublesome opponent than Toudou-san and Julius- san. We must be careful."

"Understood," Saya Sasamiya replied immediately.

Cecily, standing beside Fang Li, laughed defiantly and said, "Don't forget about me. As the duo that defeated ' Gale Blade Thunder ' and ' Blazing Flame Witch,' let me see just how strong you really are."

Upon hearing this, Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya appeared even more tense.

Neither of them doubted Cecily's abilities.

After all, the video of Cecily winning second place in the last "Phoenix Star Martial Festival" is still widely circulated.

At that time, Cecily had not yet learned the Star Immortal Technique, yet she still had the strength to win the runner-up title in the "Phoenix Star Martial Festival". Now that she has obtained the Star Immortal Technique, and has even become the leader of the World Dragon Water Faction with this technique, one can imagine how strong she is.

"So let's settle this with our skills."

After leaving those words, Cecily retreated.

Fang Li also gave Ayato Amagiri a deep look, then reached for his waist and took out the pure white Activation Body.

"Zheng—!"

A dazzling white light shone from the pure white Omni-element Crystal, causing the Omni-element to rapidly converge and form the energy sword body.

The sword shone with a holy light, illuminating the surroundings and allowing the voice of the live broadcaster to ring out.

"Wow! Fang actually took out the Pure Star Imperial Armament right from the start!"

"I've finally seen this Pure Star Imperial Armament again. As expected, even the usually unassuming Fang can't keep his abilities hidden in the finals."

It's no secret that Fang Li possesses a Pure Star Imperial Armament.

However, after the battle between Ardy and Limshi, Fang Li never used the Pure Star Imperial Armament again.

Furthermore, the operations team had not obtained much information about Bō Xié, making everything about this Pure Star Imperial Armament a mystery. Now that it has been seen again, it has naturally attracted attention and excited the audience.

Compared to the others, Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya had some information about the Pure Star Imperial Armament in the Fang Li.

In any case, this Pure Star Imperial Armament had been under analysis and research at the Star Guidance Academy before, and Claudia, the Student Council President, had already informed Ayato Amagiri and Saya Sasamiya of the information.

"Is that Bō Xié?"

At that moment, Ayato Amagiri stared intently at the Pure Star Imperial Armament in Fang Li's hand. After taking a deep breath, she also took out a pure black Activation Body from her waist.

"Buzz—!"

Amidst the trembling of the air, the red Omni-element Crystal on the Activation Body lit up, causing three-dimensional images resembling building blocks to appear at the end of the Activation Body's hilt, forming a huge serrated blade. Like a machine that had been activated, it suddenly extended a huge, jet-black energy blade.

Holding such a weapon, Ayato Amagiri swung it around, pointing the tip of the sword in Fang Li's direction.

"Oh! So Tengiri is using the Black Furnace Demon Sword too!"

"A duel between Pure Star Imperial Armament Pure Star Imperial Armament is truly worthy of being a finals-level battle!"

With loud announcements during the live broadcast, cheers erupted again from the audience.

Immediately following, the live broadcast began with the declaration.

"So, the finals of the 24th Phoenix Star Martial Festival— "

"—The match begins!"

On the stage, all four school badges shone brightly at the same time.

In that instant, Ayato Amagiri moved.

"Bang—!"

With a loud thud, Ayato Amagiri transformed into an arrow released from a bow, charging forward at an astonishing speed like a gust of wind, closing in on Fang Li.

The whole process took less than a second.

"Ha----!"

The next second, Ayato Amagiri shouted, and the Black Furnace Demon Sword in his hand flashed like a lightning bolt, slashing towards Fang Li's direction.

"Buzz..."

A buzzing sound echoed from the Black Furnace Demon Sword.

That was the sound of the energy sword vibrating.

This Pure Star Imperial Armament has the ability to burn through everything. Its blade itself is formed from extremely high heat. No matter what kind of object is in front of the Black Furnace Demon Sword, it will be burned through by the slash of the blade, which is filled with extremely high heat.

Therefore, during the semi-finals, Kiririn Ditou never touched the Black Furnace Demon Sword with her blade, in order to avoid being cut by the Demonic Sword.

Compared to the Black Furnace Demon Sword, the so-called divine weapons that can cut through iron like mud are probably no match at all.

Holding such a weapon, coupled with a high-speed assault.

With this move alone, I believe that 80% of the participants in this year's "Phoenix Star Martial Festival" will be defeated.

If there is anything in this world that can withstand the Black Furnace Demon Sword's strike, then there is only one.

Pure Star Imperial Armament, just like the Black Furnace Demon Sword.

"Clang—!"

Sparks burst forth and waves of heat radiated outwards with a crisp, sharp sound as they collided.

A pure white sword suddenly appeared, blocking the incoming pure black blade. The two blades rubbed against each other, sparking a fierce burst of light.

"So it really didn't work?" Ayato Amagiri's face was tense.

When facing an opponent with the same Pure Star Imperial Armament, the Black Furnace Demon Sword's unique ability to continuously strike anything becomes less effective.

Across the violently erupting sparks, Fang Li used Bō Xié to firmly block the Black Furnace Demon Sword while casting his gaze on Ayato Amagiri's face and giving a wry smile.

"That's enough with the greetings. Now it's time to show your true abilities."

"After all, you don't have much time, do you?"

Ayato Amagiri's expression tightened, then he smiled.

"Of course I know about that kind of thing."

That's what he said, but Ayato Amagiri suddenly dodged and retreated.

"Buzz—!"

At that moment, the air trembled again.
