Watching Nann Tianhong’s confident expression, Xu Zii smiled.
With a casual wave of his hand, the Blade Intent of Wu Geng wrapped around his body, solid and sharp.
Xu Zii casually waved his hand, and the Blade Intent transford into a sword shadow floating in mid-air.
This sword shadow was over a dozen ters long, with sharp edges swirling around the blade.
As Xu Zii swung his right hand, the sword shadow tore through the layered space at a speed so fast it was like a streak of light, heading straight for Nann Tianhong.
Seeing such power, Nann Tianhong spread his hands; the Spiritual Energy around him was multicolored.
The aura, like a rainbow, all converged in front of his chest, forming a defensive barrier.
When the sword shadow struck the barrier, a sizzling sound emitted.
Before Nann Tianhong could react, the sword shadow broke through the barrier, splitting it in two.
With a "boom," the sword shadow exploded within the pavilion, sending dust flying everywhere.
The space around was shattered completely.
The crowd looked towards the center of the dust, where Nann Tianhong’s figure gradually beca visible.
Nann Tianhong’s gaze grew sharp as he looked at Xu Zii; he slowly extended his right hand, revealing a trail of blood from his wrist.
He was stunned for a mont, then spoke to Xu Zii, "You are quite impressive."
"The first move," Xu Zii smiled and said calmly.
Then, he slowly drew the Tyrant Shadow from his back. The mont the Tyrant Shadow was drawn, a soaring blade montum shot into the skies.
The firmant above the Vast Expanse Building seed split open; the Tyrant Shadow humd softly.
A trendous Blade Intent perated the entire second floor.
"Way of Inquiry, Deathly Silence of the Myriad Beings."
Between life and death, there lies great terror.
Xu Zii often rembered this saying, and now the Blade Intent of the Tyrant Shadow began to change.
From nothingness, a breath of deathly quiet spread all around, void of any emotion.
It was as if it wished to destroy everything in the world.
The Blade Intent turned from its original invisible form to black.
The black Blade Intent blanketed the entire space, gathering overhead; it was like a torrent that threatened to devour everything.
The endless aura of deathly silence rged with the Blade Intent, as if Cang Tian had been punctured with a massive hole.
The Torrent poured down, a vast and mighty descent.
Underneath the rushing Torrent, everything ceased to exist.
Before the Torrent even touched ground, the lotuses in the nearby lake began to wither.
The fish grew weaker and weaker, eventually floating lifelessly on the surface.
The people below felt as if their very life force was rapidly draining away with the descent of the Torrent.
People’s faces changed drastically as they hurriedly employed their internal strength to counteract this force.
"What technique is this? How can it be so terrifying?"
"I have no idea, but thankfully, we are only around the edges. If that move was aid at us, I fear our lives would have been drained before we even had a chance to resist."
...…
At this mont, Nann Tianhong was clearly not concerned with the discussions of others.
He watched the falling Torrent gravely, and then he shouted, "Eight Phases World."
At that mont, eight distinct "bangs" emanated from him, and eight different realms unfolded around him.
These realms each possessed a different mood and color.
He sat cross-legged at the center, as if he were the embodint of all living things.
Eight distinct realms hovered around, with so people crying, so laughing, so indulging in pleasure, and so committing every evil act imaginable.
"Is this Nann Tianhong’s Eight Phases World?" soone beside murmured.
"Yes, it’s said that this is the technique he developed after observing and comprehending the ultimate arts of eight Great Emperors," soone said enviously.
"Well, he’s got the resources for it. Although Great Liang doesn’t have a Great Emperor, it’s on good terms with the other eight states.
The Nine States Domain is formidable precisely because the nine cities work together in harmony."
"True, but this young man opposite him is quite remarkable, too.
With just the second move, he pushed Nann Tianhong to use the Eight Phases.
You must know that in our Great Liang, Nann Tianhong has his pride, and he would never use his ultimate art until absolutely necessary."
When the Deathly Silence of the Myriad Beings descended from the firmant in a mighty downpour, Nann Tianhong’s Eight Phases World also burst forth with dazzling brilliance.
The Eight Phases World, shaped like rules, circled around and eventually seed to engulf the Torrent like eight worlds swallowing it whole.
A "boom" exploded from within the Torrent.
Everyone felt the world before them shake, as if the entire world was about to fall apart.
The explosion was deafening, as if it could shatter eardrums.
At the mont the explosion spread, a supre shockwave began to radiate outward from Nann Tianhong as its epicenter.
So people were too slow to avoid it and were directly blasted away by the shockwave.
The pavilions on either side were all destroyed and collapsed, falling into the lake at the center.
The erald-green lake rippled with waves, and the fish that had died in the water were also cast ashore.
In the space where Nann Tianhong stood, nearly all the space was torn apart.
As the dust settled, when everyone looked over in just a blink,
they saw Nann Tianhong kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath heavily.
His white robe was torn in several places, and his hair was sowhat disheveled and scattered.
His face was covered in dust, and his pupils seed unfocused, emptily half-kneeling there.
...…
"Saint Heir Nann," soone cried out in shock.
"This, the Saint Heir actually lost," soone said incredulously.
"Two moves," Xu Zii said lightly.
"Who exactly are you?" Nann Tianhong stood up, his gaze fixed on Xu Zii, he inquired.
"You don’t need to know that," Xu Zii replied.
"Do you care to face the third move?
This third one, your Eight Phases World won’t be able to withstand it."
"No need, even if I withstand it, what then? I am inferior to you, and continuing would only bring more disgrace," Nann Tianhong fell silent for a mont before finally shaking his head.
"Then let’s adhere to our agreent," Xu Zii said.
Nann Tianhong turned and glanced at the woman in red.
Instantly, Qingmu Xuan stepped forward and said, "Nann Tianhong, it’s not your place to ddle in the affairs of the Nine States Immortal Palace."
Before Qingmu Xuan could finish, a cry of "ah" rang out as the woman in red collapsed into a pool of blood.
Behind the woman in red, soone had been standing there and attacked her by surprise.
"You’re seeking death," Yue Yi, looking at the corpse before him as though he had gone mad, charged at the assailant.
The assailant did not resist, allowing Yue Yi’s Heavenly Sword to slaughter him beside the lake.
The crowd glanced at Nann Tianhong and felt a chill.
They did not recognize the attacker, and it didn’t take much to figure out that while Nann Tianhong was betting with Xu Zii, he had actually prepared a backup plan.
