Chapter 607: Thousands of Arrows Piercing the Heart
A ferocious tiger is disadvantaged in the plains, the Azure Dragon is disadvantaged in shallow waters. One day, the waters of the dragon will order the rivers to flow in reverse. When the wind and clouds come back again, the Azure Dragon will burst out of the sea.
“Heaven Ranked Martial Technique! This is a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique!”
The cultivators in the spectator stands all cried out in unison. They all got to their feet, their gazes full of shock. They had not expected Xiao Chen to go so far as to use a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique when he was only a half-step Martial Monarch. His move completely surpa.s.sed everyone’s expectations.
Shen Manjun, who was originally prepared to make a move, had a stunned expression on her august countenance. She muttered, “This child…what kind of fortuitous encounter did he have exactly?”
The pitch-black Lunar Shadow Saber exploded out with an extremely long saber light. The light solidified, infused with the boundless Dragon Might.
Riding on the Azure Dragon, the silent Xiao Chen soared into the air. As the dragon roared and the crowds watched, he swung out the ginormous saber light.
“Bang! Bang!”
Return of the Azure Dragon versus Inextinguishable Divine Light. Saber light versus sword light. Dragon Might versus Divine Might.
Inconceivably violent energy instantly burst forth. The surrounding shattered s.p.a.ce collapsed like fallen leaves; the entire Wind Cloud Arena filled with spatial cracks in various directions.
The two weapon lights pushed against each other intensely. The dragon roar and divine sound became azure and golden light rings that propagated like ripples in all directions.
Dragon and divine clashed. A vast sound echoed throughout the lands, torturing the cultivators with lower cultivations. They all either circulated their Essence to protect their eyes or worked together in groups to resist the two energies.
“Ka ca! Ka ca!”
The two solid weapon lights cracked and shattered into several thousand beams of light.
The twelve Martial Monarch elders below changed their expressions drastically. They all executed their best moves, flickering around and fending off these beams.
A great explosion of light burst forth. In that instant, the night sky filled with thousands of purple and red beams; it looked as beautiful as fireworks.
However, the cultivators below all paled. They quickly erected Essence s.h.i.+elds to protect themselves, knowing that this beautiful thing could easily take the life of a Martial Saint.
In the brilliant night sky, within the eye of the storm, Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun paled. Their weapons pushed against each other, neither giving way.
Blood leaked out of the corner of Chu Chaoyun’s lips. Grasping his sword with both hands, he pressed on Xiao Chen’s saber, forcing Xiao Chen to move back in the air.
Chu Chaoyun’s lips curled up in a gentle smile. “It must be excruciating to forcefully execute a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. If you stop now, you might be able to save yourself. My state of light already turned into the will of light. You will definitely collapse before I do. Even if you persist, all you will taste is defeat.”
The aftereffects of executing Return of the Azure Dragon had started to show at this point. Xiao Chen’s entire body looked like someone had gone at him with knives. Thousands of tiny bleeding wounds covered his skin.
Chu Chaoyun’s strength had surpa.s.sed Xiao Chen’s expectations. Unexpectedly, Return of the Azure Dragon failed to defeat his opponent immediately. Chu Chaoyun’s words seemed hypnotic. I might as well concede defeat and forget about this pain that feels like thousands of arrows piercing the heart.
No, I cannot! My opponent forcefully raised his state of light to the will of light. How can the pain he is enduring be any less than mine?
As long as I have my saber in my hands, I will never concede. Xiao Chen clenched his teeth and suffered in silence.
The Azure Dragon below Xiao Chen felt his will. It roared loudly, and its diminis.h.i.+ng aura soared once more. It stopped Xiao Chen from moving back, and an unexpected burst of power pa.s.sed through his saber.
Never concede defeat, even when trapped on a beach with no water, mocked by the world with cold eyes, humiliated by the young and old alike. Never give up the pride in your heart, for you are a dragon of men.
However, a worm will be a worm. No matter how strong it gets, it will never be a dragon. When the tide rises, the dragon will eventually soar into the sky!
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. Never conceding defeat…so this is the true meaning of Return of the Azure Dragon. Only by comprehending the true essence of this move could he bring out the greatest might of Return of the Azure Dragon. Otherwise, he would just be scratching the surface.
An extremely long saber light formed on the Lunar Shadow Saber again. A move within a move, a saber within a saber. Xiao Chen laughed softly and said, “Chu Chaoyun, you are the one who will be defeated.”
With a spurt of comprehension, The wind and clouds rose again!
The saber light that regathered was at least thrice as strong as the initial one. Its aura was overwhelming, vast, and without end. Chu Chaoyun’s consistently carefree expression suddenly changed.
“Bang!”
Xiao Chen pressed forward, holding his saber with both hands. The Azure Dragon roared, and the golden light on Chu Chaoyun’s sword broke like withered branches falling off a tree. The shattered golden light fell to the ground like rain.
The spread of the shards of golden light was simply too great. The twelve Martial Monarch elders could not block them all. Some of the golden light fell towards the spectator stands. The cultivators below immediately leaped away, fleeing in all directions.
“Rumble…!” The shards dug out deep pits where they landed in the spectator stands outside the Wind Cloud Platform; the scene was shocking.
“I will defeat you!” Xiao Chen shouted, and the saber light flew towards the falling Chu Chaoyun.
“Bang!”
