C267

The path that expert walked was just like the Dragon King's path of growth; they would have countless battles and all kinds of enemies would appear.

There was no right or wrong, and there was also no right or wrong. This was only fate, the fate of expert.

Yan Yun, Jing Xiao, they were both at the top of the younger generation, so this battle was also a showdown between the younger generation.

Of course, this was only a spar. One should not underestimate this battle just because of this.

If they wanted to grow up to be the real expert, they needed to have unparalleled confidence in themselves. They couldn't lose, and once lost, their messages would be frustrated, which would very likely affect their future growth.

Moreover, battles were always accompanied by unknown dangers. Blades and swords had no eyes, and no one could guarantee what the final outcome would be.

This was also one of the reasons why the Patriarch of the Jing Family, Jing Xuan, had personally come.

Once there was an uncontrollable situation, he would intervene and prevent two people from dying.

The battle truly started when Yan Yun finished his sentence. As an assassin, Jing Xiao instantly concealed himself.

He comprehended the "Realm of Self-Actualization", and his realm was much more stable than Jing Ruo's. After concealing himself, Yan Yun was no longer able to find Jing Xiao.

In a battle, an assassin could seize the initiative. He could attack, he could defend, and the Upper Sky could not lose.

Their cultivation bases were about the same, and they both had trump cards in their hands. As for who's stronger, that was something that could only be determined through a battle.

Yan Yun stood at the peak of the mountain, and there was nothing around him. He suddenly closed his eyes.

After an assassin had concealed himself, it was difficult for the naked eye to detect any traces. Closing one's eyes, perhaps one could sense some clues.

Shua ~

The sword qi drooped down, and Jing Xiao took the initiative to attack first. The sharp sword light directly attacked towards the center of Yan Yun's back, before the sword light even arrived, the sharp wind had already assaulted their faces.

Although it was only a probing attack, it was still not something that the young generation of Jing Family could defend against. Everyone knew that Jing Xiao's strength was terrifying, but looking at his sword qi, everyone suddenly realized that Jing Xiao had held back a lot when he was teaching them.

When the gust of wind blew against his face, Yan Yun used his backhand to slash at his back.

The Knife Qi moved horizontally and horizontally, incomparably tyrannical. That long chain of attacks directly destroyed the sword qi, and even blasted into the sky with unstoppable force.

Not only did Yan Yun's blade break through the assaults of the sword qi, it also attempted to find the location where Jing Xiao was hiding.

The Knife Qi swept across, and the air slightly trembled, but there was not a single trace of Jing Xiao.

In the next moment, after Yan Yun made his move, another sword qi descended.

The sword qi descended from the sky like a ray of piercing sunlight, but it was filled with a biting cold aura. Carrying the force of thunder, it once again slashed at Yan Yun's fatal point.

Yan Yun opened his eyes, and within those deep eyes, there was not the slightest hint of panic. The Knife Qi tumbled backwards, and when the sword qi was less than a foot away from his head, it directly defeated the sword qi with an incomparably domineering posture, as though it was crushing dry weeds.

After the slash, the surrounding spectators could not help but burst with cheers. Yan Yun's attack that seemed like a casual strike had accurately grasped his strength, and even included his timing.

The arrival of the Knife Qi was just too punctual. If it was one minute late, Yan Yun would have already lost.

However, there were no ifs in this world. In fact, under Yan Yun's profound strength, the sword qi was unable to harm him in the slightest.

At the same time, it also showed that the fact that he possessed the strength he had today was definitely not due to luck. Every step he took, was something that he deserved due to his own hard work.

The eyes of the elders of the Jing Family all revealed a look of surprise. They felt that they were unable to grasp power to such an extent.

In battle, Yan Yun was absolutely calm. However, his opponent was also not ordinary. After using two sword qi s to probe him, Jing Xiao began his true attack.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!

Five sword qi came from different directions, carrying a biting cold killing intent. They all headed in the same direction.

Jing Xiao was able to consecutively release five life reaping sword qi s in an instant. Even the elders of the Jing Family s were unable to do this.

But it could be said that Jing Xiao, the number one expert in the young generation of Jing Family, already had a tendency to surpass all the older generation.

When he fought against an assassin, he was already in a passive state.

Imagine, if you were to fight an enemy and the enemy suddenly disappeared, this sort of psychological panic was not something that an ordinary person could bear.

But in Yan Yun's eyes, it was calm and composed. He was neither arrogant nor impatient, neither hurried nor slow, and as he waved his magic knife, the tyrannical Knife Qi revolved around him.

After that, Yan Yun did not even pause for a moment. He suddenly spread open his wings, and his entire body flew up into the air as his eyes flashed with a purple light. The profound energy in his body and the energy of the prehistoric gene interweaved with each other, fusing together and creating a powerful current that flowed into his right arm.

In the next moment, the light shining from the devil soul suddenly blossomed. Under Yan Yun's low shout, a long streak of purple light that carried the force to destroy everything chopped towards a corner in the sky with a lightning speed.

In a corner of the sky, an even fiercer sword qi appeared similarly in a strange manner.

Rumble ~ ~ ~

The space was trembling, endless gales of wind were blowing in all directions, the morning sun seemed to have been covered, and in the center of the storm, Jing Xiao's figure appeared, his body trembling slightly as he retreated half a step.

At the same time that Jing Xiao attacked and killed Yan Yun, Yan Yun was also looking for Jing Xiao's figure.

He listened to the music of the Master Pei Yun and his soul rose to a higher level. His spirit arts were different from normal people's, ordinary assassins would not be able to hide from him, and even Jing Ruo was able to find traces of it.

However, when he was facing Jing Xiao, Yan Yun suddenly realized that he could not catch any trace of him.

The calmness of the void was as though Jing Xiao really did not exist.

The so-called "Realm of Allegiance" was to let the assassin forget about himself, to let himself become a part of the surrounding environment, and finally to completely conceal himself and disappear.

In this realm, Jing Xiao's comprehension far surpassed Jing Ruo's, so even Yan Yun was unable to discover any trace of him.

However, while Jing Xiao was attacking, at the same time he was dealing with it, he was also carefully searching for traces of Jing Xiao. Finally, when the five sword qi s were released, Yan Yun realized that there was a tiny fluctuation in the air in a certain corner.

Therefore, after destroying the five sword qi, Yan Yun did not stop at all.

At that time, Jing Xiao had also realized that his hiding place had been discovered, but he did not panic.

That one strike was the full force of both their cultivations, yet Yan Yun stood his ground, while Jing Xiao took half a step back.

With that strike, Yan Yun finally regained his advantage.

Jing Xiao didn't look the least bit discouraged. On the other hand, his eyes burned with an even more crazed fighting spirit. He stared at Yan Yun and said in a clear voice, "Let's stop delaying, and fight with all our might!"

"I also feel that this probing attack is too childish, lacking in passion." Yan Yun laughed.

Their conversation caused an uproar in the audience. Not to mention the younger generation, even the elders of the Jing Family s found it difficult to withstand such an attack.

However, it was only a probing attack from the two of them?

The same age, the same environment, yet the two people on the peak had traveled so far? Many people in the crowd felt a sense of defeat.

"Alright!" Jing Xiao laughed, he kept the sword in his hand and retrieved a broken sword from his waist.

The sword emitted an ancient aura, it was stone-like, jade-like and jade like, forged from an unknown material, but it was a residual sword, he did not have a sword blade, only a hilt and a broken piece of the sword body.

Everyone was confused, everyone knew that Jing Xiao liked the residual sword, but most of them thought that it was just Jing Xiao's hobby, but at that moment, Jing Xiao threw his sword away and took out the residual sword.

What kind of power could a dull and unadorned residual sword have?

When everyone was confused, Yan Yun's eyes revealed a look of surprise.

Even though the residual sword was sharp, it gave him a sharp aura, this aura was extremely weak, if not for the fact that his spirit arts were different from normal people, he would not have been able to discover it, but the weak aura, gave people a feeling that they were unable to resist.

"When I was travelling around the world, I chanced upon this sword in a valley and named it 'residual sword.' In this world, all I know is that this sword is simple and unadorned, and I don't know how sharp it is." Jing Xiao caressed the residual sword, his eyes filled with gentleness, looking at it, it was as though a husband was caressing his wife's hair.

"The residual sword has nine moves, a secret technique from the Nameless Sword. I once tested its strength, and expert died in its hands, for a total of five people." Jing Xiao muttered to himself, but the words that came out of his mouth caused everyone to be shocked.

Everyone only knew that Jing Xiao had the strength to assassinate, but didn't know that the number of people who died under his hands, was actually five.

This was an incomparably glorious battle record, but Jing Xiao never said it out loud.

Today, he met an opponent that was worthy of his respect. Thus, he spoke of everything. This was his respect towards his opponent.

"Nine moves of the residual sword. If you can block it, then I have lost." In the end, Jing Xiao's gaze fell on Yan Yun as he spoke slowly, word for word.

"That's right." Yan Yun had sensed that the residual sword was extraordinary, but he never thought that it would actually have such power. Furthermore, it actually had a secret technique to complement it.

"My Morrow's Seven Killing Steps has already reached the small success stage. Let's use it to test the might of your residual sword!" Yan Yun said. At this point, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"My Nine Movement of residual sword is only at the initial stage, let's see which one of them is stronger!"

After Jing Xiao finished speaking, he did not speak anymore, and his figure once again concealed himself.

But this time, a feeling of palpitation suddenly appeared in Yan Yun's heart. This was an instinctive reaction of the human body.

The true battle had just begun, yet Yan Yun suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of palpitation. This was an extremely bad premonition.
