SWISH!

The white saber Qi whizzed out easily, tearing the void apart, and whistling at an ear-piercing sound.

As the layers of air were torn apart, the majestic horrible saber Qi descended from the heavens and headed toward Su Mo’s chest.

This stroke was three times more powerful than the earlier stroke.

In the face of such a powerful stroke, Su Mo, as usual, simply sheathed his sword, and four-colored sword Qi shot out towards the powerful saber Qi.

WHOOSH!

With a whoosh, the result remained the same. The majestic horrible saber Qi was torn apart. The saber Qi whizzed towards Su Mo’s sides and disappeared as it burst into the air.

The current Su Mo with the four-colored Vital Spirit was manifold stronger than the five-colored Vital Spirit. It had exploded his strength to a terrifying level.

“One more stroke!” Su Mo said flatly.

Xiang Tianyang’s face turned pale. His expression kept changing. He knew that he had underestimated Su Mo greatly.

However, when he saw how arrogant Su Mo was, his killing desire became stronger.

“I’ll kill you with this stroke!” Xiang Tianyang shouted, displaying his deadly stroke.

“Ninefold-sky Saber!”

Xiang Tianyang’s voice thundered, as he waved his long saber and slashed nine strokes consecutively. Nine huge saber shadows whizzed out and combined to form a large sky-splitting saber.

As the large saber slashed down, the aura was shocking and terrifying.

The majestic saber power shook the fighting ring. It was so sharp that it could destroy everything around it.

“It’s indeed extraordinary!” Su Mo looked shocked. Although they were enemies, he had to admit that Xiang Tianyang was indeed powerful.

The power of this stroke was more than enough to easily kill an ordinary Lv 1 True Darkness Realm martial artist.

If Su Mo had not merged the purple Vital Spirit, he might not be his match!

The Vital Spirit in Su Mo’s body surged, perfusing his four-colored Vital Spirit into the long sword. He then displayed a swordsmanship move.

“Sky Serenity!”

The four-colored sword Qi shot up and collided with the terrifying saber shadow.

PUFF!

The four-colored sword Qi slashed the terrifying saber shadow apart and still continued towards Xiang Tianyang. In the blink of an eye, it was before Xiang Tianyang.

“What?” Xiang Tianyang was shocked and looked at it in disbelief. His Ninefold-sky Saber was extremely powerful, yet Su Mo could easily slash it apart!

His Ninefold-sky Saber always had the upper hand, even an expert at Lv 1 of the True Darkness Realm could be killed by the attack. However, now, Su Mo could actually slash it with one stroke of his sword.

“How is this possible?”

Xiang Tianyang was stunned, but he had no time to think at the moment. The sword Qi was already approaching. He quickly withdrew his saber to fend off the blow.

BOOM!

As the sword Qi hit the long saber, the force exploded, Xiang Tianyang’s whole body shook as he was thrown over 3,000 meters away.

PUFF!

Xiang Tianyang snorted as his arms were numbed by the powerful force. The blood within him was in turmoil, flowing backwards. It caused him to throw out a mouthful of blood.

“How can you be so powerful?” Xiang Tianyang shouted in shock. He looked as though he had seen a ghost, and he was unwilling to accept the fact.

This was not logical at all. No matter what martial arts technique a martial artist at Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm had cultivated and no matter how gifted he was, it would be impossible for him to be so powerful!

This had surpassed the category of a genius. Xiang Tianyang had never heard of any martial artist who was able to do that.

Xiang Tianyang was already very gifted. His cultivation was at a Half Step to the True Darkness Realm, and he had surpassed martial artists at Lv 1 of the True Darkness Realm while his strength was only comparable to a Lv 2. Now, however, he had lost to a martial artist who was a few realms lower than him!

Xiang Tianyang was utterly stunned!

Not only he was flabbergasted. Everyone on the nine peaks was also stunned. All the disciples and elders widened their eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

Su Mo’s strength had surpassed the imagination of everyone and also changed their perspective of what it meant to be a genius.

They never knew that a genius could be so powerful!

Su Mo was feeling great in the fighting ring. He had let Xiang Tianyang deal three strokes of an attack in order to test his own strength.

The Vital Spirit formed by the merging of the wood and fire properties was indeed powerful. He was extremely pleased with it.

The merging of only two properties was already so powerful. It was not known how powerful an attack would be when the five properties were merged together to form the Chaotic Force.

Su Mo dared not think about it, but he was looking forward to it.

Su Mo lifted his eyes to look at Xiang Tianyang as though he was looking at a dead body. He then said flatly, “I’ve let you give three strokes. It’s now time for you to die!”

Having said that, the Sky-crushing Sword in Su Mo’s hand shone brightly, turning into an illusion. The sword Qi began to move freely around.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Su Mo instantly displayed nine strokes consecutively with his sword. Nine four-colored sword Qi formed a large Sword Net and whizzed out.

The large Sword Net shrouded one part of the space and trapped all escape paths for Xiang Tianyang.

Su Mo intended to kill Xiang Tianyang with this stroke!

In fact, Su Mo could simply use a deadly blow to deal with Xiang Tianyang. However, to prevent him from escaping, Su Mo had to ensure that he could kill him with one single stroke.

“Oh no!” Xiang Tianyang had only just managed to suppress the blood that was raging in his body when he saw the large Sword Net coming towards him. He was stunned by the horrifying sword power. He could feel death knocking on his door.

Retreat!

Xiang Tianyang dared not resist it. He immediately knocked back.

However, the speed of the sword Qi was much faster than his body. In the blink of an eye, the large Sword Net came near to Xiang Tianyang and surrounded him.

“No…!” Xiang Tianyang was panic-stricken. He seemed to smell death.

Xiang Tianyang could not accept his defeat. He was a genius, a disciple of peak master of Holy Sky Peak with a future filled with great potential.

Now, however, he was about to die in the Sect’s martial arts competition!

Xiang Tianyang was unwilling to be resigned to this fate. He was filled with regret, hatred, and many other emotions.

All the disciples gasped due to how stunned they were. Xiang Tianyang was about to be killed!

The crowd was stunned. Xiang Tianyang’s status was special. If he died, there would be havoc.

Su Mo was too audacious. He did not know his boundaries and wanted to kill Xiang Tianyang!

Maybe the King of Hell did not want Xiang Tianyang’s life yet. At this crucial moment, a mega hand descended from the heavens and caught hold of the Sword Net at a great speed.

POM! POM! POM!

There were loud explosions and the mega hand crushed the Sword Net into powder.

Su Mo was shocked. He lifted his head. Elder Wei was standing in the void, looking furious.

“Su Mo, you’re a scoundrel. How can you be so ruthless? Do you intend to kill everyone?” Elder Wei shouted angrily.

Elder Wei was also throbbing with fear. Fortunately, he was well prepared and had managed to save Xiang Tianyang in the nick of time. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been able to bear the consequences.
