"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the grand hall, Xiao Yun displayed the "Taiji Divine Palm," resolving every attack from Fu Miaotong. His Taiji diagram demonstrated a perfect absolute defense.
No matter how Fu Miaotong attacked, she couldn't break through Xiao Yun's defense. She couldn't even get close to his body, let alone force him back.
Beside them, a white-robed youth named Jie Yulong observed the scene and his expression became solemn. He said to Fu Miaotong, "Junior Sister Fu, he has already cultivated the supreme martial technique 'Taiji Divine Palm' to perfection, stepping into the forbidden realm. Meanwhile, your 'One Sword Across Worlds' is only at the mastery stage, making you no match for him."
Fu Miaotong felt unwilling in her heart and shouted at Xiao Yun, "Today, I must defeat him even if it means surpassing my own limits. Perhaps it will help me reach the perfection stage of 'One Sword Across Worlds.'"
With that, she discarded all distractions, focusing solely on the path of the sword. A terrifying sword intent erupted from her eyes.
I am the sword, and the sword is me!
At that moment, Fu Miaotong vaguely reached the realm of unity between person and sword.
Her sword thrust as if a vast divide separated heaven and earth, shattering the very fabric of space.
Jie Yulong's eyes flickered with brilliance as he exclaimed, "Impressive, Junior Sister Fu. You have truly surpassed your limits, breaking through and stepping into the forbidden realm during the battle."
Wan Yanghui, who was nearby, also wore a satisfied smile.
At this moment, a golden light emanated from Fu Miaotong's body. Holding her sword, she merged with it, resembling a golden divine sword piercing through the mist, shooting straight towards Xiao Yun.
The high-ranking members of the Chaos Sanctuary in the grand hall had unpleasant expressions.
Fu Miaotong had indeed surpassed her limits and stepped into the forbidden realm. In terms of talent, she was second only to Xiao Yun within the realm of body refinement in the Chaos Sanctuary.
Yet, in the Tai Chu Sanctuary, she was merely ranked tenth in body refinement.
Was the gap between the Chaos Sanctuary and the Tai Chu Sanctuary really this vast?
The Lord of the Chaos Sanctuary's eyes filled with concern as he looked at Xiao Yun in the field, filled with anticipation. "I hope this youngster can truly elevate our Chaos Sanctuary!"
"Boom!"
Simultaneously, Fu Miaotong, in a state of unity between person and sword, unleashed a terrifying momentum. Her sword pierced towards Xiao Yun with great force.
However, Xiao Yun extended his palm forward, and the Taiji diagram emerged, displaying a terrifying defensive power.
"Boom, rumble!"
Fu Miaotong's sword possessed formidable strength, reaching a force of two hundred thousand jin, but it still couldn't break through Xiao Yun's Taiji defense. Instead, she was blasted away by Xiao Yun's force.
"Junior Sister Fu, you should retreat. He has probably already stepped into the realm of the second forbidden domain," Jie Yulong said with a serious expression, tightly staring at Xiao Yun.
Fu Miaotong's heart was still unwilling. She raised her proud head, glared at Xiao Yun with anger in her delicate face, and shouted, "Are all the people from the Chaos Sanctuary only capable of defense? If you have the ability, defeat me, or else I won't admit defeat!"
Xiao Yun calmly replied, "Alright!"
Before the word "alright" even fell, Xiao Yun's legs moved like lightning, leaving behind afterimages while his true body appeared in front of Fu Miaotong.
"Boom!"
Xiao Yun unleashed the "Nine Revolutions Tyrant Fist," a punch striking fiercely. The domineering punch carried an invincible and unstoppable aura, shaking Fu Miaotong fiercely and sending her flying.
"Puff!" Fu Miaotong fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her delicate face pale.
"Junior Sister Fu!" Jie Yulong exclaimed in shock as he quickly helped Fu Miaotong up and checked her injuries. He then looked at Xiao Yun with a gloomy expression and said, "We were just sparring, but you went too far with your attack."
Xiao Yun calmly responded, "If I don't attack, she claims that disciples from our Chaos Sanctuary only know how to defend. But when I do attack, you accuse me of going too far. Is this the way of the Tai Chu Sanctuary? Impressive indeed, you've taken all the reasons for yourselves."
"You..." Jie Yulong was rendered speechless. It was true that it was Fu Miaotong who provoked Xiao Yun into attacking, so it couldn't be entirely blamed on him.
Wan Yanghui, who was nearby, rebuked, "Enough! We in the Tai Chu Sanctuary are not sore losers. You must remember that there will always be higher mountains and greater skies. Don't become arrogant."
"Yes!" Jie Yulong and Fu Miaotong bowed their heads in acknowledgment.
However, Jie Yulong soon looked at Xiao Yun and said in a solemn tone, "Senior Brother Xiao, your strength is astonishing. I am Jie Yulong. Please enlighten me!"
Xiao Yun casually replied, "I just finished a fight, and I'm tired. You people from the Tai Chu Sanctuary shouldn't resort to such despicable tactics as ganging up on others, right?"
"..." The people in the hall were speechless. He was tired? He had won the previous fight so easily.
Although that was the case, Jie Yulong couldn't force Xiao Yun with a group fight. He couldn't ignore the presence of the high-ranking members from the Chaos Sanctuary. Otherwise, they would think he was cowardly, and he wouldn't be able to hold his head up high in the Chaos Sanctuary in the future.
That damned Xiao Yun must have done it on purpose!
In his heart, Jie Yulong cursed Xiao Yun fiercely and reluctantly stepped forward to spar with him.
Xiao Yun stood by with a smile, watching the two in the field.
Lin Xiaoya whispered in his ear, "Senior Brother, you're so cunning. You deliberately targeted Chu Jingxiao. Even a fool could see that Jie Yulong is holding a grudge and will take it out on Chu Jingxiao. Chu Jingxiao is in for a rough time."
Xiao Yun whispered back, "Now you understand my cleverness, don't you? I just used Chu Jingxiao to test Jie Yulong's strength. So, in the future, don't rush into things without thinking. Learn to use your intelligence."
"Yes, yes, yes... Senior Brother is truly clever. Thank you for your guidance, Xiaoya," Lin Xiaoya nodded quickly.
"..." The people in the hall were once again speechless.
With their level of strength, even if Xiao Yun and Lin Xiaoya spoke quietly, they could still hear them.
The elder Tianyi beside them gritted his teeth in anger, his face full of gloom.
The Lord of the Chaos Sanctuary, on the other hand, had a smile on his face as he thought, "This is good. A prodigy with wisdom and cunning is more worth cultivating."
...
In the arena,
Chu Jingxiao stared at Jie Yulong with a cautious look.
Jie Yulong, on the other hand, appeared much more relaxed. He calmly looked at Chu Jingxiao and said, "You can make the first move, or else if I make a move, you won't even have a chance to strike."
"Arrogant!" Chu Jingxiao admitted that he was no match for Jie Yulong. However, hearing such an extremely arrogant remark, it ignited a flame of anger within him. He immediately used his combat technique to attack Jie Yulong.
Jie Yulong narrowed his eyes, and his entire body burst forth with intense lightning. Like a bolt of lightning, he struck first, sending Chu Jingxiao flying with a single punch.
"He possesses the Lightning Body!"
"He actually has a special physique! No wonder he's so strong!"
"This young man with the Lightning Body has cultivated a supreme combat technique to perfection. His strength must have already reached the Second Forbidden Domain!"
...
Inside the hall, the elders of the Chaos Sanctuary had their expressions greatly changed.
