Volume 9 Extra 3. Excalibur Villa: Two Heroes Duel (Part 3)
What a terrifying sword.
Even though Xie Xiaoyu was just watching from a distance, she could feel the murderous intent and couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
Unlike the masters she had seen in the past, this murderous intent was not directed at one person, but was endless and infinite, as if the murderous intent came from the sky, just like this devastated world now. What was cut by the sword was no longer a flesh and blood body, but a sword that wiped out all life and was full of the breath of death.
The energy emitted by this sword was no longer sword energy, murderous energy, evil energy, or violent energy, but an indescribable strong aura of death.
It was the time when the night ended and the day began to dawn. The light from the sky that had just appeared seemed to have disappeared again because of this shocking sword.
The sky was dark, the sun and moon were luminous, and amidst the dancing frost and snow, accompanied by the slowly rising sword, it was as if a poisonous dragon had risen up between heaven and earth, its head held high, ready to devour all life, to the point of complete destruction and annihilation.
Faced with this earth-shattering blow, Li Xiyi's expression seemed to have changed slightly.
His eyes flashed, his body moved, he raised his head and sword, and faced the enemy head-on without avoiding.
When Li Xiyi moved, the man in white also moved slightly, his eyelids trembled slightly, and the black hair that was loose behind his back suddenly stood up, his clothes fluttering, as if he was about to fly away from the world.
A powerful sword intent like a raging storm suddenly emanated from his body. The energy stirred up the wind and moved the clouds, pushing away the frost and covering the snow, and actually created a circle of huge ripples in the sky above the entire Divine Sword Villa, sweeping across the wind and snow like a substance.
Everyone at the foot of the mountain was dumbfounded. In a trance, the snowy world before them seemed to have turned into a vast ocean. The gathering and dispersing of frost and snow was like a surging wave, rolling and turbulent, and the scene was shocking.
Li Xiyi raised his sword in his hand, pointing the long sword at an angle, standing still and proudly in the earth-shaking snow waves.
This is the way of the man in white.
If the fifteenth sword is a ruthless path filled with death and destruction, without life, then the sword of the man in white is the path of the vast ocean, or to be more precise, the sword of water.
“That’s amazing!”
At the top of Cuiyun Peak, Shangguan Xiaoxian was still worried about her son and was watching the battle from the dark.
Just now, when she saw Xie Xiaofeng using the Fifteen Deadly Swords, she almost couldn't help but take action, but she managed to hold herself back.
Seeing the supreme swordsmanship of the man in white again at this moment, a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
This man took the vast ocean as his teacher, and obtained a sword, learned sword skills, and realized sword skills amidst the ups and downs of the waves. He fought with sharks and whales, and confronted many enemies. His sword skills can be said to be gifted by heaven, and he is definitely a rare genius in the world.
"The Way of Water Sword? The highest virtue is like water, close to the Tao. This person truly deserves to be the pinnacle of the Way of Sword, a sword that comprehends the principles of heaven."
Shangguan Xiaoxian was also secretly shocked when she saw this.
Unless her Mingyu Gong breaks through to the final level, she wouldn't dare to claim victory if she were to face such a person.
Especially this kind of swordsmanship, it seems to be somewhat similar to her Divine Water Skill. One takes the form, the other takes the meaning, each has its own mystery.
Moreover, for such a swordsman, once a life-and-death battle breaks out, even if there is only a 10% chance of winning with that sword, it should never be underestimated.
You have to know that when masters fight, there is sometimes not much difference between a 10% chance of winning and a 100% chance of winning.
This reminded her of the man on Feixian Island in the South China Sea. The heir of the South China Sea Sword School seemed somewhat similar to the man in white, also a natural swordsman with a great reputation.
Pharmacist Li also stood aside, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Sister, should we..."
Shangguan Xiaoxian shook her head and cast a deep glance down the mountain. "Forget it. My husband is right. The children have grown up, and we should let them go and explore. Besides, this battle is not only dangerous, but also contains hidden opportunities. Although they possess unparalleled martial arts, they still need to be tempered before their magical powers are fully developed. Otherwise, even if we can save them today, sooner or later they will be unable to defend us."
There was also a heroic girl next to the two of them, standing on tiptoe to look at them, her face tense.
Suddenly, Shangguan Xiaoxian's eyes changed slightly, and she laughed and said, "I've been discovered."
But I saw the wind and clouds surging on the mountain top, and the frost and snow were like waves.
"Also, there's a small twist in this battle, so I don't think it'll be fatal."
A smile suddenly appeared in Shangguan Xiaoxian's eyes. She finally glanced at Xie Xiaoyu who was holding a sword. Seeing that Xie Xiaoyu rushed towards Xie Xiaofeng and the others because Li Xiyi was in danger, she suddenly smiled happily.
Pharmacist Li also laughed.
"interesting."
The two men resisted the urge to watch the outcome of the battle, turned around, wrapped the girl in their arms, and floated down the mountain into the distance.
"Let's go and settle the score with Li... He's a father who really doesn't care about his son at all."
Looking back at the Divine Sword Villa, Xie Xiaoyu was holding the sword in the umbrella and moving silently towards Xie Xiaofeng.
But with every step she took, the frost and snow in front of her eyes became thicker, until in the end it was almost a sea of white, not only covering the buildings on all sides, but also wiping out the man in white and Xie Xiaofeng.
Xie Xiaoyu's pretty face turned pale, as if she was in the vast ocean. Strong winds blew in her face from all directions, like invisible waves, so cold and biting that she could not move forward.
Until a clear and trembling sound was heard in the wind and snow, followed by a bright sword light that broke through the wind and snow, and it was already a sword pointing to the sky.
Li Xiyi's sword.
This sword pointed diagonally toward the sky, piercing the snow waterfall in the sky. With the force of splitting the wind and waves, dividing the land and opening the sea, it cut through the layers of snow waves in front of it, making Xie Xiaodi appear.
The white snow curtain suddenly split into two sides like waves, and then a figure was seen holding a long sword, rising into the sky, then turning the sword around, and descending from the sky again, shaking his finger at Li Xiyi.
Tit for tat.
Seeing the outcome of a life-or-death situation right before her eyes, Xie Xiaoyu suddenly said in a trembling voice, "Stop... Stop!"
She was speaking to the vast snow curtain.
But the world was still filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere, and apart from the howling wind, no one responded to her.
How could the clash of the two supreme sword arts stop just because of her words?
But Xie Xiaoyu knew that she could not hesitate any longer. If she wanted to save people, she had to stop the man driving the sword.
She was smart since she was young. Although she couldn't see Xie Xiaofeng, she recalled where he was just now. She suddenly opened the green umbrella in her hand, and the umbrella shadow spun rapidly. A thin sword was pulled out with a clang, and she flew straight into the depths of the wind and snow.
Sword shadows crossed the sky, sword energy surged and spit out, and in a flash, Xie Xiaoyu saw two figures quickly appear in his sight in the vast snow curtain.
In order to save people, she even attacked her biological father whom she had just met.
This sword not only covered Xie Xiaofeng, but also the man in white.
But it was Xie Xiaoyu who flew backwards.
The contest between Xie Xiaofeng and the man in white had reached a critical juncture. A sharp sword aura, powerful enough to split stone and sever gold, permeated his entire being. Xie Xiaoyu had barely reached a foot when her umbrella, and the sword beneath it, shattered into pieces in an instant. She herself wailed, flying backwards. Dozens of bloody holes appeared across her body, as if pierced by a sword. The sight was horrifying.
"Father……"
However, this scream changed the situation on the field.
Xie Xiaofeng's body, which had been sitting still, suddenly shook, and his eyelids twitched twice at the same time, as if he was about to open his eyes.
He made this move, but a hint of color returned to Xie Xiaodi's dull eyes. But what followed was, "Kill!"
There was a terrifying murderous look in Xie Xiaodi's eyes, and the aura around him became even more tragic and fierce. His eyes were blood red, and the power of his sword not only did not weaken at all, but became even more fierce.
He seemed to have made up his mind to kill Li Xiyi.
It turns out that this person is a hidden talent and actually knows deadly swordsmanship.
But this sword was launched by Xie Xiaodi by taking advantage of Xie Xiaofeng's momentum and seizing the opportunity.
The man in white hadn't moved yet, but Li Xiyi suddenly did. A flicker of struggle flashed in his eyes. Looking at the fifteen deadly swords coming at him, his face turned pale instantly, but the long sword in his hand didn't change its momentum...
No, the sword's momentum has changed.
This sword was neither fast nor slow. Although it was just one sword, it seemed to contain thousands of changes. With the energy given by the man in white, it slowly stabbed out, pushed out, and pointed out.
But it seems slow, but it is actually incredibly fast.
Two rising stars who have never met each other now look into each other's eyes, one with murderous intent in his eyes, the other with deep confusion and bewilderment.
"bite!"
Suddenly, a clear sword chant rang in my ears.
In the heavy snow, the two swords clashed.
The sword energy spread, giving people an invisible feeling of sharp pain.
Looking at the terrifying sword in front of him, Xie Xiaodi was first surprised and suspicious, then grinned and said, "Is this the Finger of Heaven and Earth?"
Li Xiyi frowned, "Why?"
Li Xiyi really couldn't understand it. They had just met for the first time, but this person actually wanted to kill him.
Xie Xiaodi gnashed his teeth and said, "You should ask your father about this."
But before they could finish their conversation, they had already passed each other.
Two flashes of sword light suddenly appeared in the sky and disappeared in a flash.
Li Xiyi stood solemnly, holding a long sword. Suddenly, a few strands of hair fell off his temples and floated to the ground.
Xie Xiaodi slowly sheathed his sword with an expressionless face, and then suddenly blood splattered on his chest.
Surprisingly , the man didn't seem to feel any pain. Instead, he laughed strangely, "Hehehe, how amazing! He actually had an epiphany right in the middle of a battle and used the momentum to transform it into a sword."
Li Xiyi did not respond, but walked quickly to Xie Xiaoyu's side and helped her up.
On the snow, a pair of lifeless, gray eyes opened at some point.
Those were Xie Xiaofeng's eyes.
Xie Xiaofeng looked at Xie Xiaodi without saying a word, but his slightly changing eyes seemed to have said everything and asked everything.
"Haha, you want to ask me how I learned the deadly sword technique?" Xie Xiaodi laughed while holding the green willow. "Of course, my second uncle taught me. I secretly found the place where he practiced swordsmanship."
Xie Xiaodi casually wiped the sword wound on his chest and glared at Li Xiyi fiercely. "From the moment I saw you, I couldn't help but want to kill you. My Murong family, along with the Xie clan, all perished because of your father. Moreover, the hatred for killing my mother is irreconcilable..."
Halfway through his words, the man looked at Xie Xiaofeng again, "Today, thanks to you, I learned the fifteenth sword technique. I'm going to stop pretending... I want revenge!"
Xie Xiaodi said the last four words very softly, even smiling, but his eyes quickly turned fierce. "Since you are so disheartened and unwilling to fight again, fine, I will fight!"
"Hahaha," Xie Xiaodi laughed heartily, raising his arms. "Now that the Tianxia Alliance has vanished, various factions in the martial arts world have risen one after another, and heroes are vying for supremacy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and there's no way I'll die with you among these ruins. And you've forgotten, you've forgotten the Xie family's blood feud, you've forgotten my mother's tragic death, and you've forgotten my second uncle's dying words. You're unfit to be the head of the Xie family."
Xie Xiaodi almost shouted out the last sentence, hysterically, with bloodshot eyes.
As Xie Xiaodi paced back and forth, he didn't take Xie Xiaofeng seriously at all. His words and actions were arrogant and he exuded an evil spirit.
"Especially a bastard like this, wanting to compete with me for the position of Young Master? Is she worthy? Have you forgotten who caused the Xie family to fall to this state?"
Xie Xiaofeng looked calm, as if he had nothing to say to his son, but he suddenly raised his hand and pulled the swordsman Lvliu back from the air.
Xie Xiaodi snorted coldly, and suddenly let out a long, shrill cry towards the sky, "Ah!"
The sound was like a wolf howling, and could be heard from far away.
Soon after, many people suddenly appeared around the Divine Sword Villa, each with a ghostly face and a sinister aura around them. They turned out to be the remnants of the former Heavenly Lord and the old ministers of the Murong family.
"Don't panic, they're here to pick me up."
While laughing, Xie Xiaodi suddenly flipped in the air and stood on the roof, looking at Li Xiyi and Xie Xiaoyu again.
"Let's wait and see!"
