Chapter 1079: Chapter 409: Victory Without a Move
“Not only that, have you forgotten the Vengeance Blade? Most of the sword power Wan Jiansheng unleashed, he himself had to bear. The more force he uses, the more it’s reflected back.”
“But the Infinite Blade Lord’s Cross Training Domineering Body is truly formidable. Wan Jiansheng’s sword power has already surpassed many Third Grade, reaching Earthly List levels. Yet he manages to endure it and confront it head-on.”
“Indeed! There’s a saying that brute force can subdue ten schemes, and skill can break a thousand techniques. Skill and power have always complemented each other. If his Outer Firmament wasn’t strong enough, he couldn’t sustain the Vengeance Blade nor completely reflect Wan Jiansheng’s sword power.”
“Have you counted the Outer Firmament layers of this guy? It’s tenfold, utterly shocking!”
“Doesn’t this mean Wan Jiansheng is bound to lose? He was always so arrogant, looking down on others. Yet now he can’t even force Chu Xisheng to draw his blade; if it were me, I’d be devastated.”
At this moment, Iron Mountain Princess Qin Xiyang was also standing amongst the crowd, her eyes showing a hint of apprehension as she watched the scene unfold.
She used to suspect that Chu Xisheng held back when they fought, but now she could confirm it without a doubt.
“Very powerful, isn’t he?”
Chu Ming quietly stood beside Qin Xiyang at some point, her gaze complex as she stared at Chu Xisheng: “His talent is so overwhelming it’s despairing. He doesn’t fear that the tallest tree in the forest will surely be blown down by the wind. Growing so tall intimidates people.”
“He’s already outstanding among the forest; no matter his height, there’ll be those who want to cut him down.”
Qin Xiyang chuckled lightly: “But there are those who protect the forest, and today, those who want to fell the trees have no chance.”
Her Spiritual Sense was sharp.
She sensed that inside and outside the Formless Divine Mountain, a dozen or so powerful energies were suppressing the area.
Anyone attempting to attack Chu Xisheng now would face a cooperative assault from the world’s number one and a dozen Earthly List experts within the Formless Divine Sect’s main mountain.
Qin Xiyang glanced sideways at Chu Ming: “Alright, what do you want?”
This woman wouldn’t approach her without a reason.
“Help me!” Chu Ming’s expression was calm: “We both seek something from each other. I’ve noticed some tasks at the Foreign Affairs Hall that I can’t complete due to limited power. But you, now within the sect, need an ally too.”
The court’s resources for her have been greatly reduced, and the support from the Chu family is not as it used to be.
Qin Xiyang simply chuckled.
Is this a survival alliance?
However, for Miss Chu, a noble niece of the emperor, to willingly lower herself before her was quite unexpected.
It seems that in the past six months, the once aloof and arrogant Miss Chu has matured considerably.
She didn’t immediately accept or reject, but remained noncommittal: “I’ll think about it.”
As they conversed, a spray of blood suddenly erupted from Wan Jiansheng’s arm.
The observers’ hearts jolted.
It was evident that the flesh and blood of Wan Jiansheng’s arm could no longer support his power, nor his sword speed.
“Has he reached his limit?”
Chu Xisheng looked at Wan Jiansheng with an emotionless, unwavered gaze.
Just like Wan Jiansheng’s own demeanor at the beginning.
Uncaring, hence undisturbed.
Yet, in his words, Chu Xisheng still conveyed a hint of disappointment: “Is this the extent of your ability?”
It was a pity; this person was just a little short of breaking his Outer Firmament limit.
“Roar!”
Wan Jiansheng let out a beast-like roar, trying to strike with heavier and faster blades but unable to control his body.
His bones creaked, beginning to develop cracks.
Both arms’ flesh tore away, reducing not just the speed of his slashes, but their power as well.
Even in near-frantic anger, Wan Jiansheng realized continuing would be futile.
It would not harm his opponent in the slightest but instead exacerbate his own injuries.
His figure suddenly retreated ten meters, intentionally distancing himself. Then, he slightly crouched forward, furiously healing while panting like a wounded beast, gulping down the Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit.
His eyes turned blood-red, fixed intently on Chu Xisheng: “Marvelous Sword Skill! I, Wan, am impressed. I now believe that the former Blood Vengeance Blade Lord was truly invincible.”
Though his opponent hadn’t drawn a blade, his sword skill was evident in their prior exchange.
“Is that all you wish to say?”
Chu Xisheng’s response was cold: “If it’s such nonsense, I don’t care to hear. This battle today can end here.”
“Naturally, I won’t disappoint you!” Wan Jiansheng grinned, displaying a hint of madness: “You should be honored; in this world today, you are the first to witness my Divine Body.”
At that moment, his muscles rapidly expanded, bursting through his clothes.
Wan Jiansheng’s body instantly grew to over two meters, his entire being covered in scales. Furthermore, two heads and four arms extended outward from within him.
Chu Xisheng watched the dramatically transformed Wan Jiansheng, momentarily stunned.
“Three heads and six arms, God Demon bloodline! No wonder the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual titled you the God Demon Saber Lord.”
At this moment, the people near the mountain gate also displayed various expressions.
“God Demon bloodline, this man indeed has a Demigod Body!”
“Is he the offspring of humans and God Demons? No wonder Wan Jiansheng’s talent is so formidable; despite his young age, he could cultivate Martial Arts to such a degree.”
“Who are his parents?”
“Didn’t expect he had this card! His battle power might multiply, and Chu Xisheng’s Outer Firmament may not withstand.”
Meanwhile, in the clouds, Canghai Stone raised an eyebrow: “Demigod Body, is this your reason for letting him roam the Jianghu alone?”
