336 Son of Lightning (1/2)

As Bai stood up and drew his sword, the arena, which was originally very quiet, became so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Bai was finally fighting. Due to the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's side being so strong in the alliance tournament, Bai had never needed to fight until now.

This was the first time he was actually fighting in any real sense of the word.

Yi Yun also stood up and, with his right hand, took out the Sonic Deathblade.

A saber in his right hand and a sword in his left.

”His saber is in his right hand while his sword is in his left hand. Is Yi Yun going to rely mostly on the saber?”

Many people began to worry upon seeing Yi Yun use his saber against Bai.

To them, Yi Yun's sword was much stronger than his saber.

”Why is he not using his sword?” Many people were curious.

Someone shook his head, ”Against Bai, it is likely that Yi Yun cannot continuously use his sword, or maybe it is that he will not be able to handle the energy drain.”

Yi Yun's sword attacks were only stronger than his saber attacks when the Pure Yang Sword Palace's sword intent was used. And once the pure Yang sword intent was used, even just a tenth of it would be beyond that which Yi Yun's body could handle.

Nonetheless, if Yi Yun was going to rely mostly on his saber, how was he to defeat Bai?

”Thank you for giving me two hours to recuperate! Are you not afraid that by giving me two hours to recover, it might led to your defeat?”

Yi Yun casually shook the Sonic Deathblade as he injected Yuan Qi into it.

”Weng–”

The saber blade emitted a clear hum that sounded like the roar of a dragon. The Sonic Deathblade's sound waves alone could kill.

Bai however, was not affected by the Sonic Deathblade's hum. When the sound wave was 3 feet away from him, it was destroyed by his protective sword Qi.

”If you want to thank me, just go all out! It has been a long time since last I looked forward to a fight. I can only wish for you having the ability to defeat me. It is a pity that, in the past two years, I have never suffered defeat against the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's younger generation.”

”One victorious battle after another, not only does it not make me feel delighted, it also makes me feel perplexed. The Yun Long Divine Kingdom is just a tiny stage, I do not want to be blinded by the halo titles of being 'Yun Long Divine Kingdom's Number One' or 'Invincible amongst the Younger Generation'. If I do, I might not know how strong I am when I leave the Yun Long Divine Kingdom and enter a stronger faction. Maybe I would be as ridiculous as a frog in a well?”

”I do not want to end up in that situation. Therefore, your appearance has made me excited. If I were to be defeated by you, I will feel glad. I am not afraid of others surpassing me, I am only afraid that I do not know how far a real elite has progressed. If humans do not have a goal, they will be lost! Only with a goal will I be excited!”

The usually silent Bai suddenly spoke a lot.

Yi Yun was slightly stunned upon hearing this. He never expected Bai to have such thoughts and vision.

Indeed, be it the Yun Long Divine Kingdom or the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, they were just a drop in the ocean of this vast world.

Bai could not see how vast the world was, but he could foresee it.

As for Yi Yun, he really had seen a corner of that magnificent world. In the Pure Yang Sword Palace, that bronze giant who could destroy worlds and the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner left Yi Yun shocked.

The mushroom knows not the alternation of day and night, while the short-lived cicada does not know the seasons. If one were to see the vast world yet not explore it, turning to dust hundreds or thousands of years later, then what difference was there between them and the mushrooms and cicadas?

Such a life was too insignificant for people not resigning to fate. Yi Yun wished that he could be an equal of the world, becoming a main character of the current generation.

With the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun was already standing higher than others. As such, did he have any reason to slack off?

”Words are needless, let us fight!” Bai said and with a light ”Chi” sound, lightning emerged from his sword's blade.

The purple lightning were like small snakes surging wantonly.

The law Bai cultivated was Lightning!

Yuan Foundation realm elites all cultivated a certain law. Thunder-elemental laws belonged to one of the nature-based elemental laws of Wind, Snow, Thunder and Lightning. They were ranked equal to the five elements, but exceeded them in power.

”This sword's name is Black Light.” Bai stretched out his index and middle finger as he gently stroked the sword's blade. The sword blade was black and did not reflect a single beam of light. It was only three feet long and the sword's pommel was unsophisticated while the sword's hilt was covered in old snake skin. Under the illumination of the lightning, the snake skin's scales had a luster sheen.

”I am going to attack!”

Just as Bai finished speaking, a purple beam suddenly flashed. The Black Light sword had stabbed straight through Yi Yun!

Bai's sword was so fast that it exceeded the limits of human recognition.

People only saw a purple flash and then Bai's sword had pierced through Yi Yun's chest!

”What?”

Some people gasped, but in a blink of an eye, Yi Yun's figure slowly blurred before completely disappearing.

Yi Yun's body had already appeared more than a hundred feet away.

It was an after-image that was stabbed.

Seeing Yi Yun look completely fine, many Tai Ah Divine City warriors let out a sigh of relief. This attack was too soul-wrenching. Before they could even react, the sword had already hit its mark. Thankfully Yi Yun's speed was very fast, if it was switched to them being on stage, they would have died.
