To conceal the fact that he practiced the Blood Prison Heart Saber Scripture, Xu Yang had no choice but to bring up what had happened at the Heart Inquiry Tower.
In truth, the Ninefold Nether Soul-Suppressing Blade was powerful. Even though his mind remained unaffected, this strike from Huo Xiaochेन was stronger than any of his previous attacks.
Even Xu Yang felt his blood churn from the recoil of their collision. His sleeves burst apart, exposing his arms, knotted with muscle.
"Huo Xiaochेन has met his nemesis!"
"Xu Yang's strength of will is unrivaled throughout the Heavenly Strategy Academy."
"The Ninefold Nether Soul-Suppressing Blade can't affect Xu Yang's mind. Huo Xiaochेन is a donkey that has exhausted its tricks."

"I don't believe it!"
Huo Xiaochेन roared, "You must be injured and forcing it down! How could you possibly withstand the Ninefold Nether Soul-Suppressing Blade?"
He himself had coughed up blood. He refused to believe Xu Yang was completely unharmed.
Astral energy surged throughout his body, and the saber that had dispersed materialized again. Huo Xiaochेन flashed forward, raising it to hack at Xu Yang once more.
The saber technique seemed to come from the depths of the Ninefold Nether, stirring the power of heaven and earth and gathering billowing demonic qi.
Xu Yang said nothing. Using his hand as a saber, he unleashed the Earth-Splitting Dragon-Shocking Slash to meet him.
Bang, bang...
The two fought furiously, exchanging another ten blows in an instant. The power of heaven and earth churned, and the Life-and-Death Arena thundered
