Wind Severing!

He primarily studied the Extreme Wind Secret Canon, but by now, his level had long since caught up to the author of that very manual! Furthermore, he had created a blade technique of his own that could perfectly unleash his full strength!

In the circle of the strong, everyone knows one thing: only a self-created secret technique can perfectly unleash one's full potential!

And Li Zheng, having only comprehended it to the eighth level, was just beginning to walk his own path; he truly was no match for him! Judging by the current exchange, if he went all out, Li Zheng would absolutely not be able to block his second strike!

Block!

Block!

Block!

They say there are only wrong names, never wrong nicknames! Li Zheng's nickname was "Blade Maniac," and every move of his blade technique was frantic, fierce, and violent, continuous like a tidal wave, with blade light like a waterfall!

But Ye Muxuan's nickname was "Wind Blade," and every one of his strikes was precise, sharp, and swift, and in terms of speed, he was not a bit slower!

Ten strikes!

A hundred strikes!

The bright blade light, infused with his comprehension of the Origin Law of Wind, was like crashing waves hitting the shore, churning up a thousand piles of snow! Endless blade light connected into a snow-white wheel of light, surging toward Ye Muxuan!

On the edge of the Slaughter Arena's decisive battle space, rows of seats circled the arena. Nearly a hundred people were watching from the hundreds of seats. These World Lords, who were originally calm and composed, all stood up with a start, their eyes locked tightly on the two people slaughtering each other in the arena!

"I couldn't block this strike!" a World Lord with a flame mark on his forehead stared at the strike, frowning as he pondered, and spoke softly.

"I don't think I could either!" Beside him, a World Lord with an ice and snow mark on his forehead also responded with a frown.

"Don't even think about it. This strike itself has reached the level of an Immortal-grade secret technique! And a self-created secret technique can unleash all of Li Zheng's comprehension and strength, so it is naturally unstoppable." Beside the two, an Immortal Deity with deep, unfathomable aura and long black hair looked at the continuous blade light in the arena and nodded.

"An Immortal-grade secret technique?"

Hearing this, the dozens of World Lords present all had their expressions turn solemn!

Every World Lord capable of redeeming a spot for enlightenment in the Initial Universe was a World Lord General recognized by the Origin Laws, having fought on the Outer Battlefield for at least fifty thousand years, with even greater combat power! Dealing with ordinary peak World Lords was as easy as slaughtering dogs! But now, the strike used by Blade Maniac Li Zheng gave the many World Lords the sensation that it was vaguely breaking away from the World Lord level.

Li Zheng was not just close to it; he actually possessed Immortal-level combat power!

At the very least, this strike showed that he had the strength to confront an Immortal head-on, rather than having to run away upon meeting one!

Even Rain Sword Kong Yan and Thunderbolt Spear Zhendan nodded!

But...

Amidst the thoughts of the many World Lords, Ye Muxuan, in the arena, finally unleashed a strike in the face of Li Zheng's strongest self-created secret technique!

The first move of his self-created blade technique!

Wind Severing!

A Marquis Level secret technique! It exhausted all of Ye Muxuan's current comprehension of the Origin Law of Wind!

As the strike was unleashed, a cold, sharp blade light swept across, and the incoming bright wheel of light was easily sliced into two halves!

The remaining power still cut through the armor on Li Zheng's body, tore through the inner armor formed by his ninth-rank World Lord Plant Lifeform, and the tip of the blade touched Li Zheng's Origin Bead!

The Origin Bead shattered, the World Lord died!

Li Zheng's gaze fell upon the slender, bright blade of the Wind Shadow Blade, and the slender hand gripping the blade hilt; even at this moment, the hand was steady without a trace of trembling. Shortly after, his consciousness was kicked out of the Slaughter Arena!

"Hoo!" On the seats outside the Slaughter Arena's decisive battle space, the few Immortal Deities who had been sitting were now all standing! This strike had made even them sense danger!

This was a Marquis Level blade technique!

Although a Marquis Level blade technique in the hands of a World Lord could not kill a Marquis Immortal—after all, being a Marquis meant one had already achieved an undying body, and the gap in base power was too large—it still caught their attention!

The degree of law comprehension and the level of a self-created secret technique were not the same thing! Many World Lords had higher law comprehension than Immortals! Especially the core members of the Five Great Powers; among every generation of World Lords, there were some whose law comprehension could even rival a King Rank! But the secret techniques they created often did not reach the King Rank in level!

Being able to understand and being able to use it were not the same thing! Otherwise, why would the Extreme Wind Secret Canon, a Marquis Level manual, require 5 billion Military Merit! Converted into money, that was 50,000 Hunyuan Units! Let alone World Lords, even for those ordinary Immortals, this amount of wealth would be a massive hemorrhage! Back then, Muxuan had also exhausted all the spoils and Military Merit he had accumulated over fifty thousand years to finally redeem this secret technique that led directly to the Marquis Immortal level! It was also because he had spent ten thousand years here, and despite his strength greatly increasing after practicing the secret technique, he still could not break through to become an Immortal, that he had set his sights on the enlightenment spot in the Initial Universe!

Don't be fooled by the fact that both Li Zheng and Ye Muxuan could easily produce treasures worth hundreds of thousands of Hunyuan Units; in reality, one was a genius of the Blade Race with an astonishing background, and the other was highly talented and had just killed a Sky Wolf Race World Lord, only obtaining such treasures through extraordinary encounters. Otherwise, those ordinary World Lords, relying on their own strength and status, might not be able to come up with it even if they had been active on the Outer Battlefield for nearly a hundred thousand years!

One must know that Ye Muxuan only had about four hundred thousand in his account right now! This was the entire liquid cash of a World Lord General who had been active on the Outer Battlefield for over a hundred thousand years!

In the Slaughter Arena's decisive battle space, on the outer perimeter seats, not a single person was sitting! Everyone, whether World Lord or Immortal, was stunned by this strike from Ye Muxuan!

Yes, stunned!

Even those few who were already Marquis Rank themselves!

Of the nearly a hundred people present, those who dared to claim they could create a secret technique of the same level did not exceed five! They were all the elite among World Lords! There were even seven Marquis Level Immortals among the dozen or so Immortals!

Rain Sword Kong Yan and Thunderbolt Spear Zhendan watched this strike silently, their expressions shifting. Even if they were unwilling to admit it, they knew themselves that Wind Blade Muxuan, who was once on par with them, was now a step ahead! A thousand years ago, or even a hundred years ago, Wind Blade Muxuan should not have been this strong! But in just a few short decades, his progress had been so immense!

World Lords were the most prone to comprehending laws, but there had to be some logic to it! Originally, the three were equally famous, their levels of law comprehension were comparable, and their self-created secret techniques were all at the Immortal grade, with the strongest only at the peak of the Military Lord level! But now, not only had Li Zheng caught up and was already approaching their level, but Ye Muxuan had actually taken the lead in pushing his secret technique to the Marquis Level! This meant that in terms of law comprehension, he had made further progress on top of his already high achievements!

On Longyan Planet, Blade Maniac Li Zheng looked at the man in black before him with a complex expression. Finally, he handed over the Wind Jade Gold in his hand and said in a deep voice, "You won!"
