Li Ye and Yue Cangsheng's fierce battle had opened everyone's eyes.
But a closer look revealed that although Li Ye wielded an Emperor Weapon, he was far from having an easy time. His skin had already flushed red.
He was circulating his Cultivation Method, generating boundless magical power to withstand Yue Cangsheng.
His opponent's attacks were simply too powerful.
"Looks like even with an Emperor Weapon in hand, you're still no match for me."
Yue Cangsheng's aura was razor-sharp. He swung his sword in a downpour, each streak of sword light vast and imposing, forcing Li Ye back again and again.
The Sword Immortal Realm—even with only a first glimpse of its mysteries—possessed extraordinary offensive power.
"Is that so?"
"But for me, you're just the right opponent."
Li Ye said.
Under Yue Cangsheng's pressure, the Hundred Battles Immortal Scripture was accelerating its ascension.
Even faster than before.
Meanwhile, he was using the Exquisite Sword Heart and Heavenly Eye Technique to peer into the mysteries of Yue Cangsheng's swordsmanship.
Countless Great Dao Trajectories lay exposed beneath his Heavenly Eye. With the Exquisite Sword Heart to deduce them, he could grasp them with ease.
He was gaining a great deal.
Clang, clang, clang!
To his opponent's astonishment, Li Ye's aura began to rise. The Giant Spirit Hammer shattered swaths of sword light as he charged toward Yue Cangsheng.
Their weapons clashed, and they fought at close quarters.
Pfft!
In the next instant, Yue Cangsheng's sword struck Li Ye in the shoulder.
But the aftershock of Li Ye's Emperor Weapon also swept across his opponent's chest, sending him flying.
Then the two charged at each other once more.
Yue Cangsheng's eyes blazed. He felt a long-forgotten pressure, and his swordsmanship seemed on the verge of true ascension.
His aura showed signs of climbing.
