Chapter 1182: Chapter 1182: Instant Kill Great Swordsman
"So strong, I feel like I’m about to be crushed into pieces, as if a mountain is pressing down on me," a cultivator on a distant tower couldn’t help but say.
Not only him, but everyone around felt the same.
All were shocked by Xu Nian’s strength.
The Great Swordsman’s expression also changed, immediately no longer holding back, unleashing the Fifth-level Earth Power without reservation.
"Earth Splitting Palm!"
The Great Swordsman shouted forcefully and then struck with a palm.
Mountains shatter and earth crumbles.
The two forces clashed instantly, forming a massive shockwave.
"Boom!"
The power exploded, creating a huge impact.
Xu Nian remained unmoved like a mountain, the Great Swordsman’s palm wind was pierced through.
Xu Nian pointed a finger at the center of the Great Swordsman’s palm.
Instantly, the entire Great Swordsman seemed to receive a huge impact, flying backward.
The Great Swordsman flew back hundreds of yards before barely stopping, his toes sinking three inches into the ground, leaving a long trace.
Everyone was stunned; could it be that the Great Swordsman was at a disadvantage?
Clearly, Xu Nian’s cultivation was not as good as the Great Swordsman’s, and his profound argumentation was inferior to the Great Swordsman’s. Why was the Great Swordsman at a disadvantage?
The Great Swordsman also spat out a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, a look of surprise in his eyes.
At this moment, all the tendons in his arm were shattered, and even his bones had cracked.
To withstand the countershock of earth-shaking power, the Great Swordsman never stopped strengthening his body.
He absorbed a large amount of energy metal, his body as hard as a top-grade spiritual artifact.
Yet even so, the countershock still nearly shattered his body.
In contrast, this guy in front of him seemed unaffected.
Moreover, he found the young man in front of him had a deep understanding of the profound argumentation.
The power of a Fourth-level profound argumentation move was not less than his Fifth-level.
"Your understanding of the Earth Attribute Profound Argumentation is remarkable, mastering two types of profound arguments, each extremely powerful. But with only this level of power, defeating me seems impossible," the Great Swordsman said.
His tone carried no sarcasm, still full of confidence in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Nian laughed.
"I’ve been waiting for this moment. Next, you should use that big sword behind you, right? Great Swordsman, how can you be called that without a sword," Xu Nian said with a smile.
The Great Swordsman also smiled and drew the huge sword from his back.
"Dong!"
The giant sword hit the ground, instantly sinking halfway into it.
Xu Nian showed a curious look in his eyes. The sword was extremely heavy, at least fifty million pounds.
A spiritual cultivator, fighting while training with weight, it seemed this Great Swordsman was indeed a cultivation madman.
Weight-bearing cultivation indeed had miraculous effects; Xu Nian had trained like this before.
However, as his cultivation improved, there were few heavy objects that could pressure him.
"This sword is made of Sky Golden Crow Iron. Although its quality hasn’t reached the Immortal Artifact level, the material is indeed for refining Immortal Artifacts, so its hardness is comparable to a low grade immortal artifact, and I’ve only ever mastered one sword strike in my swordsmanship," the Great Swordsman said.
"Oh? Only one sword strike?" Xu Nian asked, surprised.
The crowd around them all showed expressions of change.
"The Great Swordsman is about to use his swordsmanship? He only knows one strike, but this strike is..."
"Yeah, countless genius powerhouses have fallen to this strike. I wonder if Xu Nian can withstand it."
"Hard to say, the Great Swordsman with his giant sword and without are two completely different levels of power. Even Profound Argumentation Sixth Level strong people have to avoid the Great Swordsman with his giant sword."
"So strong, what kind of swordsmanship is this?"
...
The cultivators around discussed fervently.
Those who had seen the Great Swordsman use his moves before showed looks of awe.
They didn’t expect to witness the Great Swordsman’s swordsmanship today.
And those who hadn’t seen it were filled with curiosity. What kind of swordsmanship could instill such fear in everyone?
Xu Nian’s eyes also showed a hint of curiosity.
"Receive one of my sword strikes, Earth Wave!"
With that, the Great Swordsman swung the giant sword, no embellishments, just one sword strike.
The next moment, the people around him were dumbfounded.
They saw the ground beneath the Great Swordsman’s feet bulge like a giant wave, rising hundreds of feet high and surging toward Xu Nian like a tidal wave.
Xu Nian was also shocked, feeling immense pressure.
This great earthen wave contained extremely powerful earth power, and once engulfed, it meant almost certain death.
Xu Nian dared not be careless, immediately summoning a top-grade Spirit Sword from his storage ring.
This spirit sword was obtained by Xu Nian after slaying someone before, prepared for emergencies.
"Returning Truth!"
Xu Nian held nothing back, striking with a sword.
The Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting Fifth Level Profound Argumentation was performed, severing all.
"Fifth level?"
The people in the distance were all shocked, not expecting Xu Nian to also be a Fifth-level Profound Argumentation cultivator.
"Buzz!"
One sword strike burst forth, Sword Qi erupting.
The great earthen wave was torn apart, instantly split into two pieces.
However, the impact formed by the Earth Wave didn’t dissipate, continuing to press toward Xu Nian.
Xu Nian’s expression changed, immediately retreating rapidly.
Invisible Sword Qi crashed down, Xu Nian held his sword horizontally to block it.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian’s top-grade Spirit Sword exploded, Xu Nian getting blasted away by the terrifying Sword Qi impact.
"Puff!"
Xu Nian spat out a mouthful of blood, flying back three thousand yards before barely stabilizing.
"What a strong sword strike, containing dark force!" Xu Nian thought in surprise.
No wonder those cultivators had said the Great Swordsman’s sword strike could threaten Profound Argumentation Sixth Level strong people.
It turned out that this sword strike, apart from the first layer of Earth Wave, also hid a layer of dark force.
The real power mainly lay in the second layer of dark force.
Just now, Xu Nian was careless, injured by this dark force.
His body was strong; if it had been another Earth Immortal Peak powerhouse, their body would have been crushed to pulp.
Seeing Xu Nian still alive, the Great Swordsman showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Few could survive his Earth Wave sword strike.
In his view, Xu Nian should not be among them.
Yet, he managed to do so.
"Again!" The Great Swordsman shouted, ready to strike again.
Xu Nian’s mouth curled into a cold smile, pointed his fingers like a sword, and in the next moment, his figure vanished from the spot.
"Space Nine Kills!"
The surrounding crowd only saw a flash of invisible Sword Qi.
Then, the Great Swordsman, who was about to swing his sword, suddenly froze, his eyes turned dull, still carrying a look of shock on his face.
Xu Nian appeared behind the Great Swordsman, not even looking at him, walking towards the inner city.
"What... what did he do?"
The crowd around was all shocked, not understanding what he did in that instant.
Xu Nian walked steadily, his gaze firm.
Everyone moved aside, their eyes on Xu Nian filled with fear.
Only he knew that at this moment, he had exhausted all his Gang Qi.
In that instant, performing instant teleportation and Space Nine Kills consumed all his Gang Qi.
