Once the sword move was executed, the void froze and time seemed to move slowly by countless times.
Crack Crack Crack...
When the two sword moves that could freeze the void clashed, black cracks appeared.
“These are spatial cracks!” Someone exclaimed.
The Saint Spirit Continent’s heaven and earth law was very stable, therefore, the void law was naturally stable too. Only saints were able to create spatial cracks and it was impossible for anyone else below the saints. But now, the Heart Sword Sovereign and Li Fuchen were actually doing it.
“How did they do it?” The Saber Demon Miao Chengxin was a little terrified.
Saber Emperor Chu Kuang said, “This is because of their sword moves that have the effects of freezing the void. Once they clashed and when the freezing effects stacked, the cracks appeared.”
Chu Kuang might sound indifferent, but he was truly mindful in his heart. If the Heart Sword Sovereign and Li Fuchen worked together, even he would be in danger. Although it wasn’t possible for the duo to fight against him together.
As the spatial cracks appeared every now and then, it let out frightening crack sounds. But the Heart Sword Sovereign and Li Fuchen didn’t bother about the spatial cracks. Their sword moves were clashing frenziedly and wanted to completely suppress each other.
“He actually withstood it?”
The Heart Sword Sovereign frowned and felt that the situation was already out of his control.
He knew clearly about the power of his sword move, Heart Mourn. He never imagined that Li Fuchen would be able to withstand it.
“I have underestimated this move a little.”
Li Fuchen was surprised that he wasn’t able to suppress the Heart Sword Sovereign immediately.
Li Fuchen’s Void Heaven Sword World didn’t release a sword field, it was a sword world. Before creating the Primary Extreme Sword Art, the Void Heaven Sword World was his strongest kill move.
When both sword moves clashed, the spatial cracks thickened from the size of a strand to the size of a chopstick. Within the spatial cracks, horrific destruction power was bursting out. The martial stage was constantly flickering with light. If anyone below the saints was to enter the flicking light’s radius, they would be instantly turned into ashes.
“Break!”
The Heart Sword Sovereign’s sword appeared with spots as he thrust ruthlessly at Li Fuchen.
The sword in his hand was only a heaven class mid-tier artifact sword. It was hard for it to endure such a powerful sword move.
“Let’s see how you break it.”
Li Fuchen wielded his sword and thrust back at the Heart Sword Sovereign.
The difference was that Li Fuchen’s sword didn’t have any damage. The flowing sword light made the sword edge extremely sharp.
Clang!
In just an instant, the two swords clashed at the sword tip, causing spatial cracks to extend out.
There were visible cracks on the Heart Sword Sovereign’s sword. It was the result of the damage from the sword move Heart Mourn and also the spatial cracks.
On the contrary, Li Fuchen’s sword was perfectly fine.
Crackle!
After a single breath, the Heart Sword Sovereign’s sword shattered.
The Heart Sword Sovereign’s expression turned stern. He raised his right hand’s index and middle fingers before thrusting forward. Countless sword shards were shot at Li Fuchen. They contained terrifying Heart Mourn sword intent. Furthermore, the sword intent was even stronger and more aggressive than before.
Even after the sword shattered, the body contained the Heart Mourn sword intent.
“Just in time.”
Li Fuchen twisted his sword and turned all those sword shards into silver pulp.
With the Void Heaven Sword World, the Heart Sword Sovereign couldn’t possibly break Li Fuchen’s defense.
Swish!
The Heart Sword Sovereign withdrew like a swallow.
Li Fuchen could feel that the Heart Sword Sovereign had lost his intent to fight.
“You have won.”
The Heart Sword Sovereign’s voice was calm, but his heart was bitter.
He didn’t expect to lose to Li Fuchen before his match with the Emotionless Sword Emperor Ning Que.
It didn’t matter if he wasn’t willing to accept. The fact would remain the fact.
However, he didn’t have any hatred and he lost convincingly.
If a swordsman could accept his failures, then that person wasn’t worthy to be a swordsman.
“Thank you.” Li Fuchen withdrew his sword intent.
The Heart Sword Sovereign was very formidable. Without using the Primary Extreme Sword Art, Li Fuchen’s sword strength was only slightly superior.
Furthermore, he learned plenty of things from the heart sword dao.
The things he learned could allow him to save on a lot of hard work.
“Remember, don’t lose.”
The Heart Sword Sovereign had his own pride. Since he was defeated by Li Fuchen, he hoped that Li Fuchen could continue winning. This way, it would be normal for him to lose.
“I will.” Li Fuchen nodded.
“Hmph!” Below the stage, Li Jianxin snorted.
Once the Heart Sword Sovereign left the stage, the audiences were already in heated discussions.
“The Heart Sword Sovereign lost. Why do I feel like I am dreaming? It is so unreal.”
“The Heart Sword Sovereign is ranked 4th on the Sword Emperor Rankings. Right now, he is probably going to be ranked 5th. This Li Fuchen isn’t just a dark horse. He is simply a dark dragon that is completely dark.”
“Li Fuchen is so strong. I wonder how strong Li Jianxin is. Will this year’s Swordsmen Tournament be a replacement of the veterans with the new stars?”
The defeat of the Heart Sword Sovereign was definitely a shocking matter for everyone. At the same time, they were starting to suspect that even the Emotionless Sword Emperor Ning Que might also lose. In fact, even the Sword Emperor and the Sword Sovereign might also lose. It was just a matter of time.
With nine martial stages conducting the matches, it was Li Jianxin’s turn. However, his opponent was a regular swordsman and had immediately conceded.
Next up, the Emotionless Sword Emperor’s opponent had also conceded.
It was now the new round of the tournament.
“Martial stage 6, Xiao Yuan against Li Jianxin.”
Even the referee’s voice had a trace of excitement. Apart from sword dao saints, anyone would be excited to see such a brilliant match.
The situation on the martial stage was very intense.
In just a short moment, the Heart Sword Sovereign had already executed the fourth move. But he couldn’t gain any advantage with all four moves. Li Jianxin was clearly weaker in sword skill, but he had overwhelming sword intent. It felt as though his sword was a heaven class high-tier artifact sword.
The fifth move, Heart Palpitation, was like a raging wave that surged towards Li Jianxin.
“You are qualified to witness my Li Clan’s Skyline Sword Art.”
The Li Clan was once a saint clain and the Skyline Sword Art was the extremity sword art that was created by the Li Clan’s first sword saint.
This sword art only had one word... fast.
So fast that no one could react in time.
Leaping up, Li Jianxin executed the Skyline Sword Art’s first move, Heaven and Earth Roam.
Swish!
Streaks of white light streamed across the martial stage. The stage suddenly appeared with countless Li Jianxin. Each Li Jianxin was wielding a sword and was thrusting towards the Heart Sword Sovereign at speed that went beyond the limits.
The Heart Sword Sovereign was struggling to withstand. When he executed the fifth move halfway, he quickly executed the sixth move.
Li Jianxin’s sword move was too fast, if the Heart Sword Sovereign didn’t change his move, he would lose right here.
When the sixth move, Heart Mourn was executed, the void froze and Li Jianxin’s sword move got slower.
But it was just slower, it wasn’t able to freeze Li Jianxin’s sword move.
After all, this was an extremity sword art. Not even Li Jianxin had cultivated it to the extremity.
“Second move, Skylight Flying Sword.”
As the first move became slower, Li Jianxin executed the second move.
When this move was executed the martial stage had a burst of radiance. There was a waterfall-like sword light that burst at the Heart Sword Sovereign.
After taking a closer look, it wasn’t just a single streak of sword light, it was countless layers of sword light. Moreover, they were all surging forward at speed which went beyond the limits. It was like a river of light that shuttled through the universe.
The Heart Sword Sovereign’s Heart Mourn had frozen the waterfall sword light from the first layer, but there were just too many. After several layers, most of the sword light still burst over and clashed with the Heart Sword Sovereign’s sword.
Pfff!
There was a burst of spark while the Heart Sword Sovereign vomited blood and was sent flying.
Even if the Heart Sword Sovereign was formidable, he still couldn’t block so many sword lights.
Li Jianxin’s Skyline Sword Art was too terrifying. It truly lived up to its name of a creation of the Sword Lord.
