Crack!
A faint cracking sound suddenly echoed throughout the arena.
Li Hao’s pupils constricted violently.
He suddenly discovered a crack appearing across the surface of the gigantic gray saber light.
"What?!"
Before Li Hao could react further, the crack rapidly spread across the entire Reincarnation Slash.
The terrifying thunderfla tempest unleashed by Li Yun began suppressing the saber light inch by inch.
The endless lightning continuously destroyed the oscillation force.
The violent flas burned through the reincarnation aura.
The terrifying winds amplified the speed and destructive power of the attack to a frightening level.
And the seventy percent Sword Intent continuously pierced through Li Hao’s Saber Intent with unstoppable sharpness.
Bang!
The gigantic Reincarnation Slash suddenly exploded apart.
"No!"
Li Hao’s expression changed drastically.
However, before he could unleash another attack, the remaining power of Li Yun’s Thunderfla Gale Sword Art directly descended toward him.
Boom!!!
The gigantic thunderfla tempest slamd heavily into Li Hao’s body.
Puchi!
Li Hao spat out a massive mouthful of blood while his entire body was blasted backward like a falling teor.
The ancient gray saber flew from his hand as countless wounds instantly appeared across his body under the terrifying destructive force of lightning, flas, and violent storms.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Hao’s body smashed violently across the Supre Platform before crashing heavily near the edge of the arena.
The entire venue instantly beca silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them.
Li Hao struggled several tis while supporting himself with one arm, but in the end, he could no longer stand.
anwhile, Li Yun slowly lowered his sword.
Blue lightning crackled continuously across the Heavenly Lightning Battle Armor while violent storms and flas still revolved around his body.
At this mont, he appeared like an undefeated sword sovereign standing amidst heavenly destruction itself.
Even Su Fengyan’s calm eyes flickered intensely while looking at Li Yun.
"He defeated Li Hao head-on..."
A trace of seriousness finally appeared completely within Su Fengyan’s indifferent gaze.
anwhile, countless spectators stared at Li Yun with expressions full of disbelief and shock.
No one had expected that Li Yun would actually suppress Li Hao’s seventy percent Saber Intent and sixty percent Oscillation Intent directly through overwhelming force.
At this mont, everyone finally realized sothing terrifying.
Li Yun’s sword dao was not weaker than his other powers.
It was equally monstrous.
anwhile, Li Yun gradually cald himself completely as the violent fluctuations of the battle slowly settled within his body. Although the clash against Li Hao had appeared extrely intense to everyone watching, Li Yun himself understood very clearly that he had not truly fought with his full strength.
If he had wanted to end the battle quickly, he could have done so much earlier by fully unleashing the terrifying physical power of the fourth stage Titan Flesh from the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture. The monstrous raw strength contained within that body refinent art was enough to overwhelm opponents through pure destructive force alone.
However, Li Yun never intended to fight Li Hao that way.
From the very beginning, he had already decided that since this was fundantally a duel between a saber cultivator and a sword cultivator, he would rely mainly on sword arts to face Li Hao directly. In Li Yun’s eyes, this battle was not rely about victory or defeat. It was also a contest between their weapon paths, between Li Hao’s saber dao and his own sword dao.
Because of that, Li Yun deliberately restrained many of his other terrifying abilities throughout the fight.
In truth, even using the Heavenly Lightning Codex and the Heavenly Lightning Battle Armor made Li Yun feel slightly guilty deep inside. After all, those techniques greatly amplified his combat power and physical abilities. However, he did not dwell on it too much because those arts had long since beco part of his own fighting style and could already be considered his signature abilities.
Still, Li Yun knew very well that if he had truly fought without any restraint, the outco would have been completely one-sided.
If he had fully unleashed all the secret arts he possessed, combined them with the complete strength of the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture, and utilized his other terrifying martial arts together with his overwhelming physical power, Li Hao would not have been able to contend against him for this long.
Under those circumstances, the battle would never have developed into such an intense exchange between sword and saber.
For Li Yun, defeating Li Hao in that situation would likely have required only one or two moves at most.
The mont Li Hao was defeated, the ancient and vicissitudinous voice echoed once again throughout the Supre Platform.
"The eighth round of the Prodigy Supre Battle has concluded. Li Yun is victorious, gaining one point for a total of three points! Li Hao is defeated, deducting one point for a total of zero points!"
As the announcent resounded across the arena, countless spectators were still imrsed in shock from the astonishing battle they had just witnessed.
However, Li Hao did not imdiately leave the arena after his defeat.
Instead, he slowly walked toward Li Yun while carrying the ancient gray saber upon his shoulder. Although he had lost the battle, there was no trace of frustration or unwillingness on his face. On the contrary, his gaze had beco calr and sharper than before.
When he arrived before Li Yun, he stopped and looked directly into his eyes before speaking slowly.
"From this day onward, the title of the Southern Martial Domain’s number one swordsman among the younger generation belongs to you."
His voice was calm, yet everyone present could hear the sincerity within those words.
Then Li Hao suddenly laughed softly and continued speaking.
"Although losing this battle is a heavy blow to , perhaps it is also a good thing."
A complicated expression appeared within his eyes.
"Ever since I obtained the title of the Southern Martial Domain’s number one saber user among the younger generation, I gradually beca sowhat conceited. My cultivation in the Dao of the Saber was no longer as diligent as it used to be before I beca famous."
Li Hao slowly clenched his fist.
"Because there was no one ahead of to chase after, my progress in the saber dao also beca slower and slower without even realizing it."
Then he looked toward Li Yun once more.
"But now things are different."
A sharp light suddenly surfaced within Li Hao’s eyes.
"Now that you stand before , I finally have soone worth pursuing again. With a goal in front of , my cultivation speed in the Dao of the Saber will definitely return to how it was before. Perhaps I may even surpass my previous limits."
Then the corners of Li Hao’s mouth slowly curled upward into a confident smile.
"So you had better continue working hard. Otherwise, once I surpass you in the future, I will defeat you without rcy and reclaim everything that belongs to ."
