Shen Bai unleashed Burst Speed, reaching the absolute pinnacle of speed.
The Blood Red Sword Qi shot out. In that instant, the spectating mbers of the Observatory suddenly felt as if the entire world had lost its color.
"What’s going on? Why do I have this sense of despair, as if I’m facing so terrifying aberration?"
"Sa here. Lord Shen’s strike is the very pinnacle of swordsmanship. I’m afraid that in the entire Observatory, no one besides soone of Elder Mu’s level would dare to face it."
"It’s more than that. I feel like this strike exerted a terrifying pressure even before it was unleashed."
The mbers of the Observatory whispered among themselves.
But on the fighting stage, the two combatants paid no heed to their words.
Elder Mu watched the approaching Blood Red Sword Qi, a grave expression in his eyes.
Just a mont ago, he had felt a shocking sense of mortal peril.
In his decades of roaming the Jianghu, Elder Mu had faced many life-or-death crises, so he was intimately familiar with the feeling.
He could sense that if this strike from Shen Bai landed, even he would be unable to withstand it.
’It seems I truly cannot underestimate him. In that case, I will use my full strength as well.’
Elder Mu flicked the longsword in his hand.
As he flicked the blade, a series of ripples appeared upon its surface.
The ripples expanded rapidly, transforming into a reverberating wave of Sword Qi.
The resonating Sword Qi slamd into Shen Bai’s Blood Red Sword Qi, which imdiately began to tremble violently, as if it couldn’t hold on for much longer.
But Elder Mu seed unconcerned. He slowly raised his left hand and swung it toward Shen Bai’s position.
As he swung his left hand, endless Sword Qi swirled above his palm, weaving together in the sky to form a colossal sword that blotted out the heavens.
The colossal sword descended madly upon Shen Bai.
It wasn’t just a defense, but an attack as well.
The Blood Red Sword Qi collided with Elder Mu’s Sword Qi and instantly dissipated.
anwhile, Elder Mu’s colossal sword slashed viciously toward Shen Bai’s chest.
Watching the massive Sword Qi approach, Shen Bai narrowed his eyes but neither dodged nor evaded. The Qi swirling around him gradually condensed into a white light, like that of white jade.
Shen Bai’s free left hand shot up.
From his left hand, a searing Buddha’s Light, suffused with a sacred aura, blasted ferociously toward the colossal sword in the sky.
Behind Shen Bai, a three-ter-tall Dharma Golden Body threw its head back and roared, raising both fists and hamring them forward.
Characters swirled around its fists, with shadows clinging to its sides.
The Qi within Shen Bai’s body ford an Array of its own.
Elder Mu’s massive Sword Qi shattered with a thunderous crash.
Down in the crowd, Ouyang Sword saw this, his eyes wide and his jaw hanging open. He was stunned speechless for a long mont.
Beside him, a mber of the Observatory nudged him with an elbow and said teasingly, "So? Now do you understand why we all acted like it was normal?"
Ouyang Sword finally ca to his senses. He stared at the Observatory mber in astonishnt and said, "Lord Shen’s Swordsmanship is peerless. I thought he only knew Swordsmanship, but I never imagined he had other skills. This Fist Technique is in no way inferior to his Swordsmanship."
He was truly and utterly shocked.
After all, he wasn’t a native of Fenglin State, so of course, he knew nothing about Shen Bai.
Ouyang Sword had originally assud that while Shen Bai’s Swordsmanship surpassed his own, his other abilities were probably just average.
But now it seed that was not the case at all.
If he were the one facing that punch from Shen Bai, he wouldn’t have been able to block it at all.
’If Shen Bai can use more than just his fists, if he has other Cultivation Techniques, then I would be in even greater danger,’ Ouyang Sword thought.
As Ouyang Sword was thinking this, the Observatory mber spoke up.
"Lord Shen has plenty of Cultivation Techniques. These are just two of them," the Observatory mber said with a smug, knowing tone. "You haven’t seen anything yet. When you see the rest, you’ll know what true power is."
A look of fearful awe crossed Ouyang Sword’s face. "I see that now. If it’s truly as you say, and Lord Shen has even more abilities, I’m afraid no one in the younger generation of the entire Great Zhou Country can be his opponent."
The Observatory mber nodded. "You’re correct. I’m afraid only those from the older generation can compare to Lord Shen... or it would have to be sothing else entirely."
Hearing this, Ouyang Sword grew curious and asked instinctively, "What kind of sothing else?"
The Observatory mber said with the utmost gravity, "Perhaps only aberrations can get Lord Shen truly excited."
This was a saying that circulated throughout the Observatory: if Shen Bai wanted to get excited, he just had to go out and find a powerful aberration to fight.
Ouyang Sword’s expression beca even more priceless upon hearing this answer.
anwhile, on the stage, the combatants had once again neutralized each other’s attacks.
Elder Mu frowned. "Shen Bai, let’s end this quickly. This next strike of mine will not be so easy to receive."
The mont he finished speaking, the longsword in Elder Mu’s hand thrust out once more.
This ti, Shen Bai sensed a subtle change in Elder Mu’s longsword.
There was sothing peculiar about this strike.
On the surface, only a single sliver of Sword Qi was visible on the longsword, but within that sliver lay hundreds of different kinds of Dark Force.
And this ti, Elder Mu did not release the Sword Qi from his longsword, choosing instead to engage Shen Bai in close combat.
Shen Bai frowned, but instead of retreating, he took a step forward. He unleashed Divine Thousand Miles, blurring into an afterimage as he rushed toward Elder Mu.
Shen Bai’s sword, Cold Moon, was likewise wreathed in Blood Red Sword Qi.
Their longswords clashed. In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged over a thousand strikes.
