Chapter 579 - Fight

Liu Wuxie finally calmed down. When he killed Hou Yue and the others, he knew the Hou Clan would stop at nothing to eliminate him.

"You think you three can kill me?"

The Heretic Blade appeared in Liu Wuxie's hand, and he pointed it to the sky. Although he had been training his True Strike, he hadn’t found the opportunity to test it out until now.

A terrifying blade aura began gathering in the sky above, growing stronger every moment. As if affected by the blade intent, dark clouds swirled and created an oppressive aura.

The three gave each other uneasy glances. They didn’t expect Liu Wuxie's blade intent to be so powerful.

"Let me kill him, Big Brother!"

The trio seemed to be biological brothers. The one on the right was the youngest, the middle the oldest, and the left the second-born.

The man in the middle nodded, permitting the youngest to test Liu Wuxie's strength.

Liu Wuxie smiled devilishly. They could have posed some danger if they attacked together, but they insisted on single combat. Nevertheless, he didn’t plan on showing mercy. After killing one, the other two would become easy prey to him.

“Die, Liu Wuxie!” the man growled as he thrust his sword at a tricky angle.

Using his Astral River Realm aura, he unleashed his strongest attack—a torrent of energy that roared like a ferocious beast. His swift and ruthless swordsmanship reached his target in the blink of an eye, leaving Liu Wuxie no room to dodge. The terrifying sword aura also filled the sky and ripped Liu Wuxie's blade intent apart. Afterward, it split into countless sword rays and shot toward Liu Wuxie, destroying everything in its path.

Not only was the attack terrifying, but this was also Liu Wuxie's first time fighting an opponent at the pinnacle of the Astral River Realm. Hence, he had to adapt quickly.

Liu Wuxie calmed his heart. Keeping the Heretic Blade pointed at the sky, he shut his eyes and allowed the enemy to come closer.

The two men standing by were confused, unable to determine what Liu Wuxie was trying to do. Was he accepting his death?

As if to say they were wrong, the Heavenly Dao Book unfurled in Liu Wuxie's mind, and terrifying blade intent began to rise in Liu Wuxie's heart.

When the sword narrowed the gap to mere meters, the winds suddenly howled, and the clouds churned. An invisible shockwave appeared around Liu Wuxie, scattering all the incoming sword aura and stopping them from getting closer to him.

The sudden turn of events caught the three brothers entirely off guard.

"Watch out!" the other two yelled, having realized that something was off. Liu Wuxie's attack was far more sinister than they had anticipated!

By the time they had come to their senses, however, it was already too late. The Heretic Blade descended with an unstoppable force, making Liu Wuxie look like a deity capable of destroying the heavens with his fearsome aura alone.

Like a powerful gust, a suffocating aura swept through the area and overturned everything on the ground, leaving behind grey rocks beneath their feet.

His opponent’s expression darkened, having just witnessed his sword aura instantly vanish. He couldn't even begin to imagine how a blade technique could threaten an Astral River Realm expert.

Considering one had to reach the Nascent Transformation Realm before they could tear apart space, the intensity of their fight clearly reached unimaginable degrees.

The Frost Finger constantly caught his opponents off guard. Having spent time in seclusion back in Serene Sea City just to perfect it, it now far exceeded the scope of ordinary martial techniques and had become far too unpredictable to anticipate.

Their battle raged on with neither side gaining the upper hand. Unfortunately, time wasn't on Liu Wuxie's side because the Azure Crimson Gate experts could be lurking nearby. He had to end the fight and return to the sect as quickly as he could.

“Primordial Astral Fist!” Liu Wuxie bellowed. A terrifying star materialized above the two men, causing space to collapse and a black hole to form.

Huo Qiong’s expression filled with shock. "How is this possible?! You're only in the Heavenly Phase Realm, yet you are already as strong as the top Astral River Realm cultivators!"

They couldn’t comprehend Liu Wuxie’s combat ability. The Primordial Astral Fist knocked away even their attacks, preventing them from getting close to Liu Wuxie.

Amid the chaos, two Soul Spears appeared and attempted to pierce into their soul seas. However, the Hou Clan already knew that Liu Wuxie had a soul-based technique. After all, they had spent the last few months studying everything about Liu Wuxie, including his blade, fist, movement, and soul-based techniques.

Upon noticing the Soul Spears, the two quickly contracted and fortified their primordial souls, allowing them to dodge the spears.

This was the first time Liu Wuxie's soul attack had failed. Considering his opponents had studied him too thoroughly, he now needed something new to catch them by surprise. If he relied on his usual techniques, he’d only keep failing to end the fight.

Meanwhile, although the two managed to avoid the Soul Spears, they couldn't dodge the Primordial Astral Fist. They were left with no other choice but to clash with it head-on.

Below, Jian Xing'er and Chen Ruoyan couldn’t help but worry as they listened to the seemingly neverending explosions. A battle of this scale far exceeded their comprehension. Even if they intervened, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.

The two brothers shattered Liu Wuxie's attack and lunged at him, thrusting their swords toward his throat.

"Liu Wuxie, struggling is futile! We have already figured out all your tricks, and you have nowhere else to run!" Hou Qiong snarled, his sword inching closer.

"You think you people have uncovered all my secrets?" Liu Wuxie sneered. He vanished like a serpent, causing their attacks to miss.

Hou Qiong couldn’t help but admire Liu Wuxie for still managing to use a technique despite the small space.

"Let’s see how long you can keep dodging!" Hou Qiong mocked as he unleashed even stronger attacks. The Astral River Realm expert’s endless power surged toward Liu Wuxie like dark clouds, leaving him with nowhere to hide.

The shockwaves from their clashes grew stronger the longer their battle went on. At this rate, they would soon be detectable from hundreds of miles away.

Liu Wuxie was running out of time.

Using Frost Finger, he conjured an ice shield and used it to block the brothers’ combined attack. He then widened the distance between them and used the Earth-Binding Chain, causing it to disappear from his soul sea.

The Earth-Binding Chain flew like a meteorite and materialized before Hou Qiong, catching him by surprise. Nobody could have expected Liu Wuxie to possess a heaven-defying treasure!

The chain wrapped around Hou Qiong and bound him in place.
