Chapter 904 – Between Three Seconds (2/2)

This halberd had a dark luster, and its head was topped by three extremely sharp points that let out an awe-inspiring and fear-inducing aura.

This was highly likely to be a reconstruction of the weapon spirit of the Great Western Continent's divine weapon: the Sea-Pacifying Halberd!

Bie Yanghong appeared unmoved. The sword of star radiance in his hand slashed towards the blue halberd!

This illusory sword had been pulled from the sea of flowers and did not have a physical presence. Thus, it could have absolute sharpness and smoothness, just like Chen Changsheng's Stainless Sword.

But for some reason, a most vividly colored petal had stuck to this sword, its presence dazzling.

……

……

The sword of star radiance and the dark blue halberd met in the sky.

A ball of Qi emerged from their clash, its surface crisscrossed by white streams. Almost immediately after, this ball of Qi was torn to shreds by the boundless light and heat erupting from the clash.

Waves of Qi, light, and heat swept in all directions. The rocks on the cliffs began to rustle down while several hundred ancient trees snapped and then began to burn.

The cultivators on the plateau found it impossible to see just what was happening in that blazing light. They could only vaguely make out two figures.

The Prince of Xiang quietly watched, his brows slightly arched, his thoughts inscrutable.

Wuqiong Bi did not turn to look, but she could sense the transformations from that area. In her shock and unease, her hand slowed.

With a rip, the threads of the horsetail whisk binding the metal blade began to snap. A tear also appeared on the sleeve of her robe.

The light in the sky remained blinding.

The bright red petals danced and retreated, a beautiful rain of flowers.

A stream of golden blood trickled down from Bie Yanghong's ear.

But he seemed completely unaware, his calm gaze remaining fixed on the blue-clothed visitor.

The sword of star radiance and the dark blue halberd remained in the same place.

The unimaginably vast reserves of true essence and Qi of these two experts of the Divine Domain were currently in a most perilous clash.

Suddenly, the bright red petal on the sword of star radiance suddenly exploded into powder.

This petal originated from the little red flower. It contained limitless divine might and was implicitly in accord with the laws of the world, but it had been pulverized by the clashing true essence of these two experts!

The powder from this petal shot towards the blue-clothed visitor, each grain as swift and sharp as an arrow, but carrying far more power.

The visitor was still using his halberd to fight with Bie Yanghong and could not dodge. He grunted, relying on his body's cultivation to receive these blows.

With a dense collection of cracks and pops, the visitor's bamboo hat was shot through with holes. It scattered into pieces and was blown away by the wind, revealing the savage copper mask beneath. And many marks appeared on his body through which blood began to seep out.

Bie Yanghong was certainly not willing to let this chance go. He whistled and the petals in the sky all flew back like lightning, assailing the blue-clothed visitor.

The visitor grunted, his true essence exploding out. While worsening his injuries, he succeeded in jolting off Bie Yanghong's sword. His sleeves flapped as he took off into the blue sky, looking just like a massive seabird.

The sky of red petals had already been summoned back by Bie Yanghong. He only needed to avoid the last strike to successfully escape into the sky.

He had finally found a chance to escape from Bie Yanghong's attack. It appeared that many things had happened, but it was only an extremely short span of time.

If some person had a timepiece and was keeping watch, they would know that there was still a brief sliver of time before three seconds elapsed.

The blue-clothed visitor had also silently been keeping count. He was sure that he had made no error.

The sky of petals had already reformed into the little red flower, which was now flying like a lightning bolt to slam into the visitor's back.

There was a crack as quite a few of the visitor's ribs snapped. He vomited blood, but he seemed unfazed. Without even a grunt, he wielded the halberd and shot into the sky.

He pushed his speed to its limits, swiftly turning into a black dot in the eyes of the crowd that could melt into the sky in the very next moment.

But in that next moment…

The black dot began to increase in size, gradually revealing a figure.

The blue-clothed visitor had returned.

He had been forced back by a blade from the sky.
