Xiao Feng swung the Spirit Saber in his hand!
A Blade Aura a hundred meters long appeared.
The Blade Intent upon it radiated a terrifying aura.
Even the surrounding void trembled.
When Jian Huo saw this, he turned the Spirit Sword in his hand!
A Sword Aura likewise appeared, crashing toward the Blade Aura.
Their bodies crossed through the point of collision!
They slashed at each other once more.
Saber and sword collided, sending sparks flying in all directions.
Their bodies separated the instant they touched!
Xiao Feng stomped heavily on the ground and soared into the sky!
He raised the saber with both hands, flames coiling around its blade.
As Xiao Feng swung down, the fiery radiance continuously condensed!
Then, a fire dragon appeared.
It swept toward Jian Huo on the ground.
Seeing this, Jian Huo channeled Spiritual Power into the Spirit Sword in his hand.
With a single swing, an Ice Dragon roared forth.
Its roar shook all four directions!
The fire dragon and ice dragon entwined in the sky.
They continuously tore and bit at one another.
The two men's Spiritual Power also continuously poured into the bodies of the fire dragon and ice dragon in the sky.
Then, the Ice Dragon bit down on the fire dragon's body.
The fire dragon's claws seized the Ice Dragon, then bit down on its neck.
Crack, crack!
Two shattering sounds rang out.
Layer upon layer of white mist appeared in the sky!
Then, the Ice Dragon and fire dragon vanished from the sky.
The white smoke in the air drifted downward.
It blanketed the entire arena.
By now, the spectators had long since fallen silent.
They stared at the two people on the arena with faces full of disbelief.
Especially when they saw that Xiao Feng was merely at the peak of the Dao Palace Realm, yet could fight Jian Huo, who was at the Initial Stage of Divine Ability, on even terms, their hearts churned with towering waves.
The Sword Sect Master looked at Xiao Feng, his expression calm!
He had sensed before that this Xiao Feng was no ordinary person.
He had not expected his combat strength to be so outstanding.
He could actually fight across realms.
If he were the same age as Jian Huo!
Jian Huo would absolutely not be his match.
The people from the Saber Sect, the Sun Family, and the Wang Family also began to worry.
The two were now evenly matched.
What if the worst came to pass!
What if Xiao Feng defeated Jian Huo?
And then Xiao Feng broke through to the Saint Realm—
would there still be a place for them to stand in the Qingxuan Realm?
At this thought, they all silently prayed in their hearts!
May Jian Huo hurry and defeat Xiao Feng.
Meanwhile, Xiao Feng's battle intent on the arena grew increasingly intense.
When he discovered that Jian Huo could fight him to a standstill.
His eyes shone with brilliance.
Although he had not revealed his strength all these years, he carried the feeling of Dugu Qiubai, lonely in his quest for defeat!
No prodigy had yet emerged who could fight him to this point!
Not even the Wang Family brothers, Sun Qiang, or Dao Ren—prodigies renowned throughout the Qingxuan Realm—
had ever been worth his notice.
As Jian Huo looked at Xiao Feng, battle intent likewise flared in his eyes!
Having emerged from this seclusion after breaking through to the Initial Stage of Divine Ability, he had thought that no prodigy in the Qingxuan Realm could be his opponent!
Yet Xiao Feng had actually fought him to a standstill while only at the Dao Palace realm.
At that thought, Jian Huo directly tossed the Spirit Sword in his hand into the sky!
His hands formed seals, and one spell seal after another descended onto the Spirit Sword in the air.
Jian Huo spoke!
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"
As his voice fell!
The Spirit Sword in the sky split from one into a hundred, then from a hundred into a thousand!
In the blink of an eye, over ten thousand swords filled the sky.
Every single one radiated a chilling aura.
With a wave of Jian Huo's hand, the ten thousand swords surged toward Xiao Feng like a raging torrent.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng took a deep breath.
The Spiritual Power within him coursed through his entire body!
The saber in his hand slowly rose.
He gripped it tightly with both hands.
Looking at the flood of ten thousand swords in the sky, he spoke.
"Beacon Fires Across the Sky!"
As his voice fell.
He swung his saber.
Gales appeared one after another!
The gales swelled violently, becoming a tornado thousands of meters wide in the blink of an eye!
The Spiritual Power around Xiao Feng condensed once more into a fire dragon.
The fire dragon plunged into the tornado.
A colossal wave of flames appeared upon the arena.
Wherever it passed, the corpses were sucked in and exploded into blood mist, devoured completely.
When the torrent of sword qi met the flaming storm!
It was continuously dragged inside.
Just then.
Jian Huo roared!
"Sever!"
As his voice fell, the ten thousand swords merged directly into a single sword!
It swelled with the wind, instantly growing to a thousand meters in size!
It descended from the sky.
And cleaved the flaming windstorm straight down the middle!
The colossal wave of flames split in two, yet it did not stop.
Instead, it became two waves of fire that swept toward Jian Huo.
Surprise appeared in Jian Huo's eyes.
He had not expected that his strike had failed to destroy Xiao Feng's technique.
Instead, it had split into two waves of fire that came sweeping toward him.
Jian Huo planted the Spirit Sword in his hand into the ground.
He formed hand seals with both hands and struck them onto it.
Then, walls of ice appeared one after another.
They directly shielded him within.
At the same time, the ice walls extended outward.
They blocked the enormous waves of flame outside.
Jian Huo once again formed hand seals with both hands.
An ice wall directly enveloped the two enormous waves of flame.
Layer upon layer of seals appeared!
The two enormous waves of flame were completely sealed within the ice wall.
Jian Huo pointed with one finger and spoke!
"Break!"
As his voice fell.
The ice wall shattered.
And the enormous waves of flame had already vanished!
Watching the battle unfold between the two on the arena.
The crowd was astonished, yet also worried.
After all, the more moves Xiao Feng revealed.
The more afraid they became.
Even Jian Huo, as he looked at Xiao Feng now, showed wariness in his eyes. He no longer looked as supremely confident as before.
From the enormous waves of flame Xiao Feng had slashed out earlier, he had sensed danger.
He had not expected Xiao Feng to be only at the Dao Palace Realm.
Yet his combat strength had actually reached the Divine Ability Realm.
As expected of the legend of the Qingxuan Realm.
Jian Huo pulled the Spirit Sword embedded in the ground back out.
Spiritual Power surged!
Layers of ice formed all around him, covering an area ten meters in every direction!
Then Jian Huo's eyes seemed to turn to ice crystals.
"Twin Dragons Strangulation!"
After Jian Huo spoke, he swept the Spirit Sword in his hand.
Two ice dragons emerged from the sky!
Each was over a hundred zhang long.
Once the ice dragons appeared, the temperature atop the arena plummeted sharply.
Even those watching beside the arena felt a bone-chilling cold.
The twin dragons roared in the sky and coiled toward Xiao Feng.
Wherever the two ice dragons passed, even the air seemed capable of freezing.
Xiao Feng only felt waves of cold sweeping toward him.
Even the flames bursting from his body showed faint signs of freezing!
Xiao Feng drew a deep breath. As expected of the Divine Ability Realm.
Every move and every stance unleashed power far greater than that of the Dao Palace Realm.
