Xiao Huo held the heavy sword and stood firmly on the spot. His robes were blown by the air waves, but his feet did not move at all.
His face was a little pale at the moment, but the fighting spirit in his eyes almost burst out.
Shen Hongyuan stood beside him, veins bulging in the hand holding the sword.
She, Foundation Establishment, Ninth Layer Peak, could barely hold on against the pressure of Golden Core First Layer, but her chest felt like a huge stone was pressing down on her, making it difficult to breathe.
Hu Qingshan and Chen Huan had retreated several feet away, their faces pale and they could not even stand firmly.
"Interesting." Cang Lie looked at Xiao Huo, and the smile on his lips became a little thicker, "Foundation Establishment, Eighth Layer, if you can withstand my pressure, you are indeed quite capable."
He took a step forward.
Just one step.
Xiao Huo's pupils shrank suddenly, and Cang Lie's figure disappeared in that moment.
It didn't disappear, it just happened too quickly.
Xiao Huo is so fast that it cannot be caught by the naked eye.
Driven by instinct, Xiao Huo placed the heavy sword in front of him, pouring all his strength into Spiritual Power.
"Bang--!"
A huge force came from the side, like being hit by a mountain.
Xiao Huo flew out horizontally with his sword, and turned twice in the air. The heavy sword plowed a deep groove on the bluestone, and he was able to stabilize his body.
His tiger's mouth cracked, blood flowed down the hilt of the sword, and his entire right arm was numb.
Cang Lie stood where he was, as if he had never moved.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at Xiao Huo condescendingly, sneered, and said in an understatement:
"If you can't keep up with the speed, and you can't keep up with the strength, what can you use to fight me?"
Xiao Huo has no answer.
He shook off his numb right hand, gripped the hilt of the sword again, took a deep breath, and charged forward with the sword.
The heavy sword struck down with great force.
Cang Lie turned sideways and avoided it lightly.
Xiao Huo changed his moves and swept across, cutting the heavy sword in the middle. Cang Lie raised his hand and clamped the sword blade accurately with both hands.
"Pa--"
The heavy sword seemed to be welded to death in the air, motionless.
Take the sword with your bare hands.
Xiao Huo gritted his teeth and drew the sword with all his strength, but the sword did not move at all.
Cang Lie exerted a slight force on his hands and swung it to the side. Xiao Huo was thrown away with his sword, and hit a stall on the street, with sawdust flying everywhere.
He struggled to get up, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
"That's all you have?" Cang Lie patted the non-existent dust on his hands, "It's really embarrassing for my royal brother to lose to you."
Xiao Huo ignored his taunt.
He stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a chuckle escaped from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and placed the heavy sword in front of him, with the tip of the sword pointing diagonally at the ground.
His breath changed.
It was no longer the calm and restrained thing before, but a kind of fiery and violent, as if something was awakening in his body.
A faint flame began to glow on the heavy sword.
Cang Lie raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Oh?"
Xiao Huo Holding the sword with both hands, a flash of red fire crazily poured into the sword body.
The fire light grew stronger and stronger, from weak to bright, from bright to dazzling. The dark red flames danced on the sword, like fire snakes swimming around.
The air begins to twist.
The hot air waves spread out around Xiao Huo. The bluestone slabs on the street were baked white, and the edges of the cloth tents on the stalls a few feet away began to curl and become scorched.
Shen Hongyuan took several steps back and covered his face with his hands.
The heat wave hit her face and made her skin ache.
"Is this the same move as last time? No, it's different..." she murmured.
"The temperature is not as good as the last flame?"
Cang Lie The contempt on his face finally disappeared.
He unsheathed his sword.
The sword body is entirely silver-white, with aura flowing around it, and fine runes are faintly visible on the blade.
Golden Core First Layer's Spiritual Power was poured into it, and the sword emitted a low hum.
"It's a bit interesting." Cang Lie held the sword and said in a calm tone, "But, that's it."
He moved.
This time, he was no longer a temptation.
The silver-white long sword thrust out like lightning, Sword Qi was fierce, wrapped around Golden Core First Layer's majestic Spiritual Power, and went straight to Xiao Huo's throat.
Xiao Huo The heavy sword swept across, flames wrapped around the sword body, and faced him head-on.
"Boom--!"
There was a huge fire and a wave of air exploded.
Xiao Huo took seven or eight steps back in a row, each step leaving deep cracks in the bluestone.
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and the hand holding the sword was trembling.
Cang Lie stood in place, motionless.
But a corner of his sleeve was burned off by the flames, revealing the black lining underneath.
Cang Lie looked down at the burnt cuffs and frowned slightly.
"This fire... is extraordinary."
He didn't give Xiao Huo any chance to breathe.
His figure flashed, and he stepped forward again. The long sword thrust out like a violent storm, each sword carrying Golden Core First Layer's full strength.
Xiao Huo gritted his teeth and held on.
The heavy sword was swung in his hand, with flames shooting out, but every sword was easily resolved by Cang Lie.
The gap between the Golden Core Realm and Foundation Establishment is too big and cannot be bridged by fire.
Three moves.
Five moves.
Ten moves.
Xiao Huo had several wounds on his body. His left arm was cut open by Sword Qi, and his sleeves were soaked with blood.
His breathing became heavier and heavier, and his steps began to stagger, but the hand holding the sword never let go.
Cang Lie's sword is getting faster and harder.
"You can be proud of yourself for being able to hold on until now." Cang Lie struck down with a sword, Sword Qi was like a rainbow, "But that's it."
Xiao Huo raised his sword to block.
"Bang--!"
The huge impact knocked him to the ground on one knee, and the bluestone beneath his knees shattered into spider web shapes.
The heavy sword held Cang Lie's long sword tightly, and the sword body buzzed and trembled, but Xiao Huo's hands were like iron pliers, motionless.
Cang Lie looked at him condescendingly, with a sneer on his lips.
"Still not letting go?"
Xiao Huo raised his head.
In those eyes, there was no fear, no despair, only a calm determination to the extreme.
"It's you who should let go."
Cang Lie frowned.
Xiao Huo exerted force with both hands, and the fire on the epee skyrocketed.
Not dark red, not hot red - cyan.
The moment the green flames spurted out from the sword, the temperature of the entire street suddenly rose several times.
The air was burning, the bluestone slabs on the ground made crackling sounds, and the wooden frame on the stall a few feet away began to smoke and catch fire.
Cang Lie's face changed drastically, and he drew his sword and retreated.
But Xiao Huo didn't give him a chance to retreat.
On the heavy sword, a second flame rose.
white.
The moment the white flame appeared, the temperature of the entire street dropped sharply.
It's not that it's cold, it's the weird and extreme contrast. The surface of the body is hot with green flames, but the inside of the body seems to be ignited by white flames, and the internal organs are burning.
Cang Lie's pupils shrank sharply.
He felt that the Spiritual Power in his body was restless and boiling, as if something was burning his meridians from the inside.
"What kind of fire is this?!"
Xiao Huo has no answer.
He held the sword with both hands, and the green and white flames on the heavy sword intertwined and entwined, like two snakes, one burning the world and the other burning the heart.
The air around the sword body twisted violently, and the aura and flames on the blade merged into one, emitting a dazzling light.
"Flame-Splitting Wave-Devouring Sword--Two-Colored Lotus!"
