Chapter 222: I Won’t Lose!

Xiao Yang was actually battling Li Xingyao, who was at the Half Saint level, despite only being at the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Under the Yuanwu Tower, two streams of sword light clashed in the void, powerful sword intent erupting and the dazzling sword light piercing through the air, splitting the heavens and the earth.

Everyone present was stunned beyond belief.

They all kept retreating further back.

“Big Brother Holy Son is so strong…”

“Senior Brother is awesome…”

Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang stared at the scene in disbelief.

Nie Ruhua and Hua Mengli were completely flabbergasted.

Everyone felt it was beyond comprehension.

After all, Xiao Yang was merely at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

What was happening before their eyes had surpassed everyone’s understanding.

Throughout history, no matter how monstrous a genius might be, it was impossible for someone at the Heavenly Martial Realm to engage in an unending battle with a Half Saint.

There was an insurmountable chasm between the Heavenly Martial Realm and Half Saint.

Level-skipping challenges, while common for geniuses, couldn’t be that absurd.

Heavenly Martial challenging a Half Saint?

Don’t kid around.

That was impossible.

Yet now, Xiao Yang had turned the impossible into reality.

Jiang Ting gazed at the scene, stunned.

At this moment, Xiao Yang felt so strange to her.

Though they had grown up together as childhood friends, it was only now she realized she had never truly understood Xiao Yang.

She panicked even more.

“Junior Sister…”

Qin Fei was acting pitiful again.

But this time, Jiang Ting seemed to not hear his voice and continued watching the two figures fighting.

A cold, sinister gaze flickered in Qin Fei’s eyes.

How could Xiao Yang be this powerful?

As long as Xiao Yang lived, he would never see the light of day.

However, Qin Fei couldn’t dream that Xiao Yang was fighting so desperately just to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect.

What Qin Fei desperately desired was the position Xiao Yang didn’t even want.

In this second life, who would still want to be the Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect?

At this time, Xiao Yang still hadn’t revealed his true strength.

But the sword intent erupting from him was growing stronger and stronger.

The sword light emanating from his fingers was sharp to the extreme.

With just two fingers, he blocked all of Li Xingyao’s sword moves.

Li Xingyao became increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.

Xiao Yang was clearly only at the Heavenly Martial Realm; why was his fighting strength only growing?

Such strength was not beneath her as a Half Saint.

How could this be possible!

Without even using his flying sword, Xiao Yang managed to match her blow for blow with just his fingers.

Moreover, his understanding of the Sword Dao was even above hers.

“This is ridiculous!”

Li Xingyao went all out, merging her sword with her being, transforming into a dazzling sword light and charging at Xiao Yang, the space splitting apart wherever she passed.

What shocked Li Xingyao was that no matter how much she increased her strength, Xiao Yang still managed to block her attacks.

Xiao Yang also transformed his body into a sword, merging into an immortal sword light and clashing fiercely with Li Xingyao.

The sounds of metal clashing rang out continuously.

Terrifying sword energy erupted again and again.

Everyone watched the scene in shock.

“Is this really the battle power of the Heavenly Martial Realm?”

Someone said in fear.

“This Xiao Yang is just a freak of nature with that sword finger!” another exclaimed incredulously.

In front of the Yuanwu Mountain gate, Gui Zixiong’s face was extremely grim.

He never imagined Xiao Yang would be this strong.

Did he really only have the cultivation of a Heavenly Martial Realm?

The power Xiao Yang unleashed was not beneath that of a Half Saint!

“Haha… my son is amazing!” Xiao Zhenshan laughed proudly.

“That’s my brother…” Xiao Yue’s face beamed with pride.

“Yang’er has brightened up…” Mother Chen Ruolan also looked incredibly proud.

Others tried to curry favor with Xiao Zhenshan.

Liu Qingyun watched Gui Zixiong with a triumphant smirk.

Inside the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, Jiang Qitian was also stunned.

He never imagined Xiao Yang had such powerful strength.

He recalled the bet he had made with Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang had once vowed that if he could take first place in the competition, he would leave the Qingyang Sword Sect.

How could he let such a strong disciple leave the Qingyang Sword Sect?

Xiao Yang wants to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect?

Dream on!

Jiang Qitian started plotting how to keep Xiao Yang bound to the chariot of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

His bet with Xiao Yang?

As long as he didn’t acknowledge it, that promise was just a worthless piece of paper.

Jiang Qitian’s expression turned icy.

“Boom!”

The sword light formed by Xiao Yang collided violently with Li Xingyao’s sword light, merging her being with the sword.

In the next moment, the two sword lights separated.

As the sword light dissipated, Xiao Yang’s figure appeared before everyone.

Xiao Yang’s clothes were tattered, but there was no blood seeping from underneath.

Li Xingyao also exited her sword-merge state.

Holding the Fuyiao Sword, her hand trembled slightly.

“Xiao Yang, it’s clearly you. Only you deserve to be my opponent, Li Xingyao.”

Li Xingyao’s sword pointed diagonally to the ground, her gaze firmly locked on Xiao Yang.

“Stop wasting time; let’s settle this with one move!” Xiao Yang said nonchalantly.

“Alright!” Li Xingyao nodded.

She no longer held back.

Biting her tongue, she spat a mouthful of blood on her Fuyiao Sword.

“Buzz!”

The Fuyiao Sword trembled violently.

A powerful force surged from the sword.

“I have no choice; I must win!” Li Xingyao looked gravely at Xiao Yang.

“No worries!” Xiao Yang smiled.

He understood Li Xingyao’s intention.

Li Xingyao wanted to win the competition, so she had to unleash the true power of the Fuyiao Sword.

But her true intention was to defeat Xiao Yang using her genuine strength.

However, Xiao Yang’s understanding of the Sword Dao was so formidable that if she didn’t use the Fuyiao Sword’s true power, she might really not be able to beat him.

At that moment, Li Xingyao sensed Xiao Yang’s uniqueness.

Especially since Xiao Yang emanated an aura that made her heart race.

How could this be?

But indeed, Xiao Yang exuded an aura that made her feel dangerous.

This was definitely not an illusion.

So, she had to activate the true power of the Fuyiao Sword.

“Buzz!”

The Fuyiao Sword emitted a resonance, and the sword energy surging from it grew increasingly powerful.

Countless ethereal images of divine phoenixes began to appear around the Fuyiao Sword.

A terrifying aura emanated from the sword, making everyone present feel extremely anxious.

The Supreme Sword in the hands of the Supreme Dao Child and the Killing Sword in Lu Fusheng’s grip also trembled.

Everyone was in shock.

Li Xingyao was so powerful that she still needed to unleash the Fuyiao Sword’s strength against Xiao Yang?

“Come on!” Xiao Yang activated the Futian Sword Technique with all his might.

An overwhelming sword aura erupted from him, looking down on the world.

The three great divine swords trembled even more violently.

“Senior Brother…” Jiang Ting looked at Xiao Yang with a worried expression.

“Big Brother Holy Son…” Lin Wangchuan anxiously stared at Xiao Yang.

At that moment, everyone was incredibly tense.

In front of the Yuanwu Mountain gate, there was a sea of faces.

But the atmosphere was silent.

Everyone knew Xiao Yang and Li Xingyao had finally reached the climax of their battle.

Who would win?

No one knew.

At that moment, no one doubted Xiao Yang’s strength.

The battle power he unleashed was truly monstrous.

He had indeed managed to fight equally with Li Xingyao at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

It was simply a miracle.

Everyone was on edge, especially Jiang Qitian, Jiang Ting, and the other Qingyang Sword Sect disciples.

And Xiao Yang’s parents, sister, and Liu Qingyun.

Right then, the momentum from both Xiao Yang and Li Xingyao was soaring.

The sword energy erupting from Li Xingyao shook the void.

At this time, she held the Fuyiao Sword, her entire body brimming with sword essence.

She had reached a point where she had to unleash her full strength.

“Kill!” Li Xingyao yelled and thrust her sword fiercely at Xiao Yang.

This strike appeared unremarkable, a simple thrust.

But the sword power contained within shattered the void as if it could annihilate everything.

An indestructible divine sword combined with Half Saint cultivation.

The power that erupted was earth-shattering.

Countless people were stunned to see Li Xingyao unleash such a strike.

Yet to Xiao Yang, this sword felt impossible to evade.

Xiao Yang smiled.

Facing this strike, he didn’t dodge.

Because he knew he couldn’t evade it.

Li Xingyao’s strike was a nearing the ultimate realm.

That was the terror of the Half Saint realm.

Still, with his Futian Sword Finger,

Xiao Yang pointed forward, and the entire space seemed shattered by his mere gesture.

One sword, Futian.

Xiao Yang’s finger touched the tip of Li Xingyao’s thrusting Fuyiao Sword.

No fancy moves, no esoteric sword techniques.

Everything was just that simple.

In no time, blood trickled from the corner of Xiao Yang’s mouth.

“Haha… Xiao Yang is going to lose!” Qin Fei shouted internally with excitement.

What an excitement!

He actually thought he could defeat a Half Saint with just the Heavenly Martial Realm?

Xiao Yang, oh Xiao Yang, you have your day now.

Qin Fei loathed Xiao Yang to the core.

If it weren’t for him, how would he have met such a tragic fate?

If not for Xiao Yang, how could he have killed his own uncle?

If it weren’t for Xiao Yang, he wouldn’t have suffered the terrifying agony of heart poison.

He wished he could tear Xiao Yang into pieces.

Now that Xiao Yang was about to lose, he felt gleeful.

But Jiang Ting, Lin Wangchuan, Song Qiang, Nie Ruhua, Hua Mengli, and others were all aghast.

Ling Xian’er remained calm and collected.

“Haha…”

In front of the Yuanwu Mountain gate, Gui Zixiong laughed with excitement.

“Lao Liu, you are bound to lose!”

Gui Zixiong shouted arrogantly at Liu Qingyun.

“Oh really?” Liu Qingyun clenched his fists.

He almost punched Gui Zixiong in the face.

This guy was truly infuriating.

At this moment, Xiao Yang was desperately urging the power within him.

“Quickly concede, or you will die!” Li Xingyao roared.

Now, she had no retreat.

“I won’t lose…”

Xiao Yang bellowed in defiance, suddenly exploding his dantian.

A terrifying power exploded from him like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable and destructive, directly blasting Li Xingyao away.

“…”

Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene.

Xiao Yang was willing to self-destruct his dantian in order to defeat Li Xingyao.

He had gone mad!
