It seemed that if Yi Yun beat Tao Yunxiao, in the event they got the mercy of Yi Yun, they could follow him to the Kingdom Knight’s territory, and escape the poor and dangerous vast wilderness. To serve Yi Yun for life wasn’t a bad thing…
The thoughts of these girls were not known to Tao Yunxiao. If he knew, he would have gone mad from anger. He only felt Yi Yun’s aura growing stronger, with a grunt, the female sword he embraced had been unsheathed!
“Clang!”
The female sword flew to Tao Yunxiao’s hands as if it were alive. Tao Yunxiao could not wait to defeat Yi Yun.
Time seemed to freeze as tens of thousands of people watched Tao Yunxiao attack!
His body suddenly appeared as a line of shadows and the people could only heard the sounds of his steps and the sword cutting through the air!
“Cha!”
The female sword sliced through the desert wind; it was so fast that people could not see clearly.
“Such a fast sword!”
“We can’t even see Young master Yunxiao’s sword, how can it be avoidable?”
When a person attacks with a sword, compared to using fists, it would increase the attacking range, attacking power and also increase the attacking speed.
The speed difference between a slash of the sword against a punch from the fist was very different.
“Whew!”
Tao Yunxiao had quickly moved in front of Yi Yun and his female sword had gone straight for Yi Yun’s throat!
If this sword were to hit, Yi Yun’s throat would split apart. Even if the Jin Long Wei’s doctor was nearby, he was unlikely to be salvageable.
The people let out a cry, but Yi Yun remained calm.
He had seen the ‘Nine Mysterious Swords of Heaven’ before!
Last night, he had fully seen Lin Xintong’s ‘Nine Mysterious Swords of Heaven’. Compared to Lin Xintong’s swordplay, Tao Yunxiao’s ‘Nine Mysterious Swords of Heaven’ was not worthy of mention.
Although Yi Yun had never adapted to Lin Xintong’s sword, he could see the flaws of Tao Yunxiao’s swordplay. It was not a problem.
Just at the moment Tao Yunxiao was about to cut through Yi Yun’s throat, Yi Yun suddenly moved backwards and dodged the killing blow. The sword’s tip was less than an inch away from Yi Yun’s throat!
“Huh!?” Tao Yunxiao was not pleased that Yi Yun managed to dodge his first attack in a extremely serene manner, and quickly responded with a second attack.
He was using the ‘Flowers of the Storm’ stance of the ‘Nine Mysterious Swords of Heaven’. When this stance was practiced to the extreme, a sword could stab out over a hundred times in the time it takes one breath!
Tao Yunxiao could not reach that level, but he could stab out a few dozen swords. From afar, Tao Yunxiao’s swords were a spectacular light show.
The ‘Nine Mysterious Swords of Heaven’ when demonstrated can prevent water from entering. The sword beams around the body together with sword Qi would form a protective boundary. Tao Yunxiao was in the early stages of this state.
When this dense sword beams turned to envelope Yi Yun, Yi Yun’s body turned into shadows people couldn’t read.
This feeling was the same illusion Zhang Yuxian gave off when he demonstrated ‘Elephant Swallowing Technique’. They did not know what moves Yi Yun was making, but all they felt was that the arena was covered with shadows!
Sword beams and shadows were dazzling!
But there was no doubt that Tao Yunxiao’s swords had failed to strike!
A person with a sword had issued a dense rain-like attack, while the other was avoiding barehandedly. It was clear who was better!
“What!?” Tao Yunxiao’s face turned red. He knew Yi Yun would be a tough fight, so he had requested permission to use the ancestral artifact against Yi Yun. But he did not know that fighting Yi Yun would be much harder than he expected.
He had practiced his swordplay for several years, where his sword was as if a part of him; yet, he could not even touch the sleeves of Yi Yun!
“Yunxiao, don’t be anxious!” The voice of Tao Yunxiao’s father came into his ears. He could tell that his son was turning distraught from facing Yi Yun.
“I know, Father. Since he has such strength, I have no choice but to use the ancestral artifact’s strength!” Although Tao Yunxiao was haughty and arrogant, he wasn’t a fool who couldn’t tell Yi Yun’s strength. He knew Yi Yun still had a lot of hidden power during his battle with Lian Chengyu. Still, Tao Yunxiao had the confidence to beat Yi Yun, because he could borrow the ancestral artifact’s energy!
“Yunxiao, are you sure…?” Tao Yunxiao’s father was worried because using the ancestral artifact’s energy was no trifling matter.
Tao Yunxiao did not respond because he hit himself in the chest.
“Puah!”
Tao Yunxiao spit out a mouthful of blood onto the female sword.
And the female sword was like before when it absorbed the cow’s blood. It absorbed the Tao Yunxiao’s blood and soon turned red and sinister!
This scene transfixed the audience
They knew the Tao tribal clan had an ancestral artifact, but for what it was or its powers, they had no idea.
