Chapter 858 - The Wheel of Karma Turns, What Goes Around Eventually Comes Around!
“You!” Yang Yang was in utter disbelief.
Yun Xiao had frozen him solid with a single stroke of his sword. Now, that three-foot azure blade shrank into a Flying Sword!
“He’s going for the kill!” Yang Yang broke out in a cold sweat, trembling all over.
Fortunately, a crescent Flying Sword shot past Yang Yang’s side. It was none other than the Sword Soul wielded by his beloved!
“Don’t touch him!” Liu Liu's harsh cry echoed as the peculiar crescent Flying Sword twisted unpredictably, continuously circling and striking toward Yun Xiao with unfathomable movements.
Just as Yun Xiao transformed his Palm Sword into a Flying Sword, he caught a glimpse of the howling orange crescent and, without a word, casually launched a streak of azure light from his hand.
WHOOSH! That speck of azure light, traveling a narrow path meant for only the nimblest of Flying Swords, seemed to paint a picture mid-air—a vast snowy landscape, where an azure snowflake cut across the sky, unfolding into a dream-like array of colors...
“Soaring Snow Stream!” Si Ji, stunned, called out the name of this Flying Sword technique, unmistakably a core sword art of the Harmony Divine Palace.
It was not just a beautiful name; the picturesque path it traced was equally exquisite.
With Si Ji’s discerning eye, she saw everything clearly. Be it the Ice Cloud Sword Ender or Soaring Snow Stream, Yun Xiao had executed both techniques with divine finesse, his mastery reaching the pinnacle!
Normally, this level of proficiency was unattainable without a century of diligent practice!
Everything happened in a flash, leaving no time for Si Ji to ponder further.
The Soaring Snow Stream, like a beautiful snowflake, traced a simple path, far less unpredictable than the orange crescent. Yet, it precisely met the curved edge of the opposing blade head-on!
KLANG! KLANG! KLANG! The two Sword Souls collided in the air, emitting a piercing sound. Astonishingly, they didn’t separate upon impact but intertwined like the mating ritual of two birds.
The azure Flying Sword struck the center of the orange crescent, and then with a flick, twirled it around like a pen on a fingertip!
The two mighty Sword Souls tangled, hurtling towards each other with reckless abandon.
“You?!” Liu Liu’s body tensed. She exerted her utmost strength to control her Flying Sword. But it was as if a giant beast had clamped down on it, and she couldn’t pull it free.
“Be careful!” Liu Liu jolted as a cold sweat broke out. The intertwined Sword Souls were now hurtling towards the frozen Yang Yang.
At this moment, Yang Yang was frantically summoning his tribulation power, using the flames of the Great Solar Blaze Body to burn away the frosty tribulation power on his body.
As the frost shattered off his body, his frustrations found release. But in the next moment, Liu Liu's scream of terror sent shivers down his spine!
He looked up sharply, his face breaking into a cold sweat! The azure gleam, dragging the orange crescent, instantaneously swooped in front of him.
Yang Yang instinctively raised his hands to shield his head. But in that instant, the azure light fiercely flung the orange crescent downwards!
“No!!” Liu Liu screamed, tears streaming as she tried to regain control of the orange crescent.
However, the slick technique of the Heaven Burial Sword Soul was too smooth and powerful. By the time she regained control of the sword, the orange crescent was violently spinning back, crashing into Yang Yang’s groin.
“GAHHH!” Yang Yang's face turned the color of liver, he let out a heart-wrenching scream. When he turned around in shock, he saw the orange crescent had carried away his one bird and two stones, with blood spraying across the sky!
He felt a sharp pain, not just physical pain but pain in his heart as well.
“Stop...”
Before they could react, Yun Xiao tossed an Extreme Yin Child Flag into the Star Nexus. The small sphere plummeted into the nexus and suddenly transformed into an ice-blue flag!
From that moment, the entire celestial formation of the Blazing Yang Star underwent a revolutionary change. All the flames and storms were transformed into a tide of ice and snow. The red star visibly turned ice blue, freezing cold!
The Blazing Yang Star had been conquered and occupied!
“Brother Yang...”
The disciples of the Blazing Yang Sect nearly vomited blood at this sight. They stood frozen, like zombies.
A supposed slave from the Harmony Divine Palace had stepped on their faces and taken over the territory of the Blazing Yang Star, forcing them to bow down... This was a public humiliation of the highest order, and they all knew it. Their hearts felt numb.
“I will kill you!” Yang Yang, having faced one blow after another, snapped. His mind shattered, he charged towards Yun Xiao like a madman.
"Stop him!" Liu Liu cried out in alarm.
She, along with the other disciples of the Blazing Yang Sect, finally managed to restrain Yang Yang just as he reached Yun Xiao, his fury unchecked.
"Die! Die!" Yang Yang struggled, his face contorting as he screamed at Yun Xiao.
"Relax, I won't let you die," Yun Xiao, holding the Blazing Yang Parent Flag, patted Yang Yang's face and chuckled, "From now on, we're one and the same. Adjust your mindset, strive to conquer stars, and add glory to my carefree journey."
"In your dreams! Never!" Tears mixed with blood streamed down Yang Yang's face.
"Haha." Yun Xiao pinched Yang Yang's cheek, shaping his mouth into a circle. "Now that you're purified of worldly desires, less love, more action. The glory of my Extreme Yin Star depends on you. Put some spirit into it, brother."
Ignoring Yang Yang's heart-wrenching screams and sobs, Yun Xiao swaggered away.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, it's okay. We lost the Parent Flag, but it won't stop us from making the top 20..." a disciple of the Blazing Yang Sect said nervously.
"Go away! Go away! Ahh..." Yang Yang crouched on the ground, clutching his groin, then collapsed into Liu Liu's arms, utterly desolate.
"Darling, I, I..." Liu Liu was inconsolable, utterly helpless.
Seeing her, Yang Yang's gaze drifted downward to her flawless skin, her delicate figure, and the secrets he once thought were within easy reach—now seemed as distant as the heavens, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Ah!" Yang Yang pushed Liu Liu away and, clutching his head, fainted from his sobbing.
Even here, the situation was so intense; one could only imagine how rowdy things had gotten in the MIllion Starlight Palace...
Even Si Ji, observing all of Yun Xiao's ruthless actions, looked on with a puzzled expression.
"This kid is ferociously resolute at heart; no wonder he even dares..." The white-haired beauty with pink eyes watched Yun Xiao's departing figure, somewhat amused yet bewildered.
She was now somewhat eager to see what this youth would do next.
And Yun Xiao, no matter how loudly the Blazing Yang Star wailed, did not look back.
After all, he was in a hurry, rushing towards his next target.
Just then, Feng Yao contacted him through the Mortal Dust Devil Seed. "You need to come back fast; we're surrounded and can't hold on!"
