Boom!!!
But another ear-splitting explosion rang out.
The blade shadow and axe shadow Yuyangzi had projected from beyond the domain actually cleaved through Xu Taiping's emberless blade flames with a single effortless axe strike, turning vast swathes of flame into nothingness in an instant.
Just as Zhao Qian had said earlier, this ghost art of Yuyangzi's could disregard Sister Shangqing's divine abilities and spells.
Yuyangzi burst into wild laughter.
"How can your Mortal Realm blade stand against the axe of my Immortal Kingdom beyond the domain!"
Boom!!
Amid that wild laughter, Yuyangzi suddenly raised his arm and brought his axe crashing down.
The blazing blade shadow formed by Xu Taiping's Emberless Stance was cleaved clean down the middle.
Shing...!!
Having broken Xu Taiping's blade force, Yuyangzi raised the phantom of the Ghost Divine Weapon saber projected from beyond the domain in his other hand, then slashed fiercely at Xu Taiping's body.
It was just as Xu Taiping had sensed from the axe shadow moments before.
The blade shadow looked utterly ordinary, yet its killing power seemed capable of cutting through even his Great Dao Edict.
Not daring to take it lightly, he immediately drove the mind method of the Ten Emperors Scripture at full strength, refining the immense Dao essence power within him before channeling it into Water-Cutting in his hand.
This was the first time Xu Taiping had used the Ten Emperors Scripture since entering the blade domain.
He had originally prepared this trump card for the depths of the blade domain today, but now it seemed he would have to use it on Yuyangzi ahead of time.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Taiping gazed expressionlessly at the blade shadow Yuyangzi sent slashing toward him and once again roared with Overlord's Breath:
"Emberless Return to the Blade!"
