Boom!
At this moment, the martial academy disciple battling Jian Shisan was sent flying with a roar, instantly struck down by Jian Shisan's sword.
In less than fifteen minutes, two disciples from the martial academy had been eliminated consecutively. Wu Haotian's eyes narrowed, his aura instantly surging.
In mere moments, he had already approached the realm of the Time Walker. However, Li Xuan sensed that this aura had stopped just at the threshold of the Time Walker realm. Instead, it exuded an air of disdain for the world.
"This guy is preparing to use the power of the True Martial realm," Li Xuan thought to himself, then with a thought, his Shijian instantly appeared in his hand.
Since Wu Haotian was planning to go all out, Li Xuan would naturally give his all out of respect for his opponent. Regardless of the outcome, the process was the most important.
"This sword... seems somewhat extraordinary," Wu Wuji's eyes narrowed as Li Xuan's Shijian appeared, and he spoke.
Jian Kaicheng felt a moment of awkwardness. This was the first time he had seen the Shijian, and judging by its craftsmanship, it was certainly beyond his ability. Even Jian Nancang would likely not be able to forge such a spiritual sword.
"What kind of existence is behind this young man?" Jian Kaicheng wondered inwardly, but he quickly dismissed the thought. As Jian Nancang had said, it was enough that Li Xuan was a disciple of the Sword Sect.
Jian Kaicheng's heart was even more concerned about the outcome of the battle. Li Xuan had put away his ten Heavenly Slash flying swords and taken out this Shijian, clearly indicating that the Heavenly Slash flying swords were insufficient for the upcoming duel.
Would the True Martial realm prove more powerful, or would Sword Qi prevail? At this moment, Jian Kaicheng felt a hidden sense of curiosity and anticipation.
"Martial Domain, I am the Great Master!"
Wu Haotian's expression was solemn, like a deity. The moment his voice fell, a terrifying aura spread out in all directions.
Boom!
An unparalleled pressure surged forth, like a storm wherever it passed. All the disciples fighting were repelled by this pressure. In less than ten breaths, only Li Xuan remained within the barrier.
"Such terrifying True Martial realm!" Jian Kaicheng's eyes flickered. This level of power was already close to the Half-Step Time Realm. Sensing this, Jian Kaicheng began to feel a flicker of worry.
"This fellow has actually reached this point," Jian Shisan murmured with a solemn expression, watching Wu Haotian within the barrier.
Jian Shisan knew that Wu Haotian had now far surpassed him. The difference of one move back then had now led to defeat in a single move. However, Jian Shisan did not feel disheartened; instead, his eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit. As a sword cultivator, his state of mind had long been as firm as rock.
"Li Xuan, this battle depends on you." Jian Shisan glanced at Li Xuan, who had not retreated a single step, and had to admit that Li Xuan was indeed superior to him. Acknowledging the excellence of others allowed one to better see their own shortcomings.
"You are very good, truly worthy of being the Chosen One. I originally intended to use the power of the True Martial realm in the third match, but if the situation continued as it was, we would likely end up losing. If you have no trump cards, your current strength might not be enough to win,"
Wu Haotian looked at Li Xuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, then said in a deep voice.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and replied, "In that case, let's go all out."
As Li Xuan's words fell, sword lights instantly surged around his body. Where the sword Qi passed, Wu Haotian's pressure was repelled. In mere breaths, the area within a ten-mile radius centered on Li Xuan had become Li Xuan's sword domain.
"Sword Qi!" Wu Wuji's pupils sharply contracted. Having dealt with the Sword Sect for so many years, Wu Wuji naturally recognized this. Moreover, Wu Wuji noticed that the Sword Qi displayed by Li Xuan had reached an even higher level than Jian Nancang's.
"A confrontation between Sword Qi and the True Martial realm, this is making this academy quite anticipate the outcome," Wu Wuji said with a smile, seeing Jian Kaicheng's composed demeanor as he observed with his eyes focused inward.
"I believe we still need to be cautious. The full power of these two youngsters might shake the barrier. At least I alone cannot defend against it," Jian Kaicheng said gravely.
Wu Wuji nodded slightly, then waved his large hand, sending a stream of spiritual energy into the barrier, where it vanished.
"Sword Qi, Slash!" Li Xuan's mind moved, and the sword Qi in the heavens and earth instantly condensed and poured into the Shijian. The Shijian rapidly grew, becoming twenty feet in size, and then slashed down towards Wu Haotian.
Crack!
The might of the Shijian instantly caused heaven and earth to tremble. Even with Wu Wuji's spiritual energy augmentation, the barrier began to shatter.
Wu Haotian's pupils contracted slightly upon seeing this. After taking a deep breath, his eyes instantly firmed.
"Martial Break the Firmament!"
Wu Haotian thrust his spear forward, like a meteor, directly towards the Shijian.
Boom!
As Wu Haotian made his move, the barrier cracked further.
"These two youngsters are going to decide the winner in one move," Wu Wuji said with a wry smile, waving his large hand again to stabilize the barrier.
Hum.
The sword and spear collided, and a humming sound echoed. The terrifying shockwave raged, and both Li Xuan and Wu Haotian were forced back to the edge of the barrier.
"Cough, cough..." Li Xuan propped himself up with his sword, then clutched his chest and coughed violently.
At the same time, Wu Haotian was also kneeling on the ground, with traces of blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
In the next moment, they both looked up simultaneously, their gazes locking onto each other.
Whoosh!
In the next instant, both figures moved and shot towards each other again.
Bang bang bang!
After several clashes, the terrifying shockwaves were deafening. The auras of both individuals began to decline at a visible rate. After the final exchange, both collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath.
"So strong!" Jian Shisan and the others looked on with increasingly grave expressions. Although they were all geniuses of the younger generation, Li Xuan and Wu Haotian were undoubtedly the geniuses among geniuses.
"Cough, cough..." After a while, Li Xuan staggered to his feet. The blood seeping from his lips had already stained his chest crimson.
Seeing Li Xuan stand, Wu Haotian also swayed to his feet, leaning on his spear.
"I have one more sword, can you still block it?" Li Xuan looked at the formidable opponent before him and spoke slowly.
"I also have a final spear. Since that is the case, how about we decide the winner with one move?" Wu Haotian nodded slightly and then looked at Li Xuan, speaking.
"Come on." Li Xuan nodded at this, then slowly closed his eyes.
The onlookers exchanged shocked glances. To think they still held back at this level. However, this competition would likely end with their final moves.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wu Haotian was the first to open his eyes. A few breaths later, Li Xuan's eyes also opened.
"One Spear Decides the Universe!"
"One Sword Breaks All Laws!"
