Successive cries of alarm rose up from the distant great ship on the Luo River.
With eyes wide, the people stared as Chen Changsheng extended his left hand and used some inexplicable method to easily break the Sword of Great Light. Then, they stared as Xu Yourong seemed to have already guessed this method and borrowed his method of breaking her technique in order to break his sword energy. Then, they stared as Chen Changsheng clearly held control over the temple sword, yet the temple sword still pierced into his body. Finally, they saw Xu Yourong extend her finger very inconspicuously towards Chen Changsheng, but in reality, sending it with the strength of a thunderbolt.
”Rhino Horn Finger!” Daoist Siyuan said with emotion.
Was Chen Changsheng about to lose? Would he die under this finger? Mao Qiuyu's expression abruptly changed, his two sleeves creating countless ripples as he prepared to rush over to the bridge. Tang Thirty-Six's complexion turned extremely ugly, and the same was true for Mo Yu and Prince Chen Liu. Did deciding victory and defeat really require deciding life and death as well?
All of this had happened too quickly.
No one could have thought that in such a brief span of time, Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong could move from extreme movement to extreme stillness and then back to extreme movement again. This signified the both of them had already fallen into their own respective tempos, but even more frightening was the fact that their tempos were actually very similar. This meant that it would be very challenging for anyone to break their tempos. Even those important figures whose cultivation far surpassed them could not accomplish this task.
Silence.
The light on the Bridge of Helplessness gradually scattered and faded away, like the light of the sun fading away to the darkness of the night.
The falling snow was still sparse, unable to hide their figures, nor fill the line drawn through the center of the bridge.
On one side of the line was snow, on the other side was still rain. Xu Yourong had already crossed this line and was standing in front of Chen Changsheng.
The forefinger of her right hand pressed towards the space between his eyebrows, but it had not been able to press all the way.
There was still the distance of a dagger between her finger and his forehead.
Because that dagger was between them.
At some point, Chen Changsheng had raised up the Stainless Sword and blocked Xu Yourong's finger.
The body lacks the wings of the bright-colored Phoenix, but our hearts are spiritually linked like the rhino and its horn. But what if one were a bright-colored Phoenix as well?
Xu Yourong's Rhino Horn Finger was like a flash of lightning, but it was not faster than his sword. This could only mean that he had already calculated that she would use the Rhino Horn Finger at the end.
The temple sword had left a vivid wound on his left arm, and the edge of the wound was even speckled with things that seemed like fragments of stars, but the hilt of the temple sword was already grasped in his hands.
Xu Yourong slowly withdrew her finger.
A drop of golden red blood slowly seeped from her finger and then dripped onto the bridge. The rain and snow instantly evaporated into steam, creating a faint mist.
The Stainless Sword had blocked the Rhino Horn Finger, but it had not been able to completely dissipate all the might of that slender finger. A drop of blood also flowed from the space between Chen Changsheng's eyebrows, as if he had obtained a red birthmark.
A hush fell over the stone bridge.
The people on the distant ship in the Luo River realized that the situation was not as terrible as they had imagined and momentarily calmed down.
Separated by the faint mist, Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong looked at each other, not speaking for a very long time.
They had both been injured, and it seemed that Chen Changsheng's injuries were somewhat more severe. However, both swords were in his hands. So just who had won?
