Chapter 1139: Chapter 1143: Appalling

“Senior Brother Yun’s sword is shattered!”

“What in the world is going on?”

“My heavens! Senior Brother Yun’s sword was actually shattered by Xia Liu at Qi Cultivation level ten!”

“Terrifying!”

…

The disciples outside the arena saw Yun Hai’s treasured sword shatter, and they all gasped in astonishment.

Yun Hai was a Qi Cultivation level twelve cultivator.

The sword he held, while not a Spiritual Artifact, was a rare treasure in the mortal world.

Yet after just a few clashes, it shattered.

This clearly indicates that the sword Xia Liu holds is no ordinary item!

“What a fire attribute spirit weapon!”

Lu Mu exclaimed in awe.

Back at the Osmanthus Sect, he had witnessed Xia Liu perform the Flowing Fire Transformation.

Perhaps because the opponent was Ye Tiande, the spirit weapon’s power wasn’t fully displayed.

But now, compared to the fight with Yun Hai, this spirit weapon is remarkable!

“Certainly, I remember Xia Liu wielding this sword to dissolve one of Ye Tiande’s moves.”

Liu Hong nodded, feeling envious of the spirit weapon in Xia Liu’s hand.

The fact that Xia Liu possesses such a spirit weapon indicates that his fortune is beyond ordinary.

“Great Elder, the Ye Tiande you mentioned, is he the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect?”

The three elders were slightly puzzled.

If it was Ye Tiande of Xuantian Sect, he was a Qi Cultivation level fifteen cultivator.

Just relying on one spirit weapon, Xia Liu shouldn’t be able to dissolve his attack, right?

After all, the gap between Qi Cultivation level fifteen and level ten is not something a spirit weapon alone can bridge.

“Yes, the Sect Master Ye Tiande of Xuantian Sect had his ultimate move dissolved by him once.”

Liu Hong nodded, thinking this news should make the three elders pay attention to Xia Liu.

“This!”

The three elders were struck as if by lightning, stunned in place.

Xia Liu actually managed to dissolve Ye Tiande’s ultimate move under the current circumstances!

Terrifying!

Appalling!

Even if Ye Tiande was going easy on him, the fact that Xia Liu was able to dissolve his ultimate move is terrifying.

Even the three elders acknowledged that unless they used all their cards, they couldn’t withstand Ye Tiande’s ultimate move.

Just as everyone marveled, an astonishing development occurred in the square.

Yun Hai’s divine sense surged, and the yellow gourd hanging at his waist flew out to hover above his head.

“Senior Brother Yun actually summoned the Mysterious Golden Gourd!”

“Xia Liu is done for!”

“It’s come to this, Senior Brother Yun is certain to win!”

“Once the gilding within the Mysterious Golden Gourd is unleashed, even Qi Cultivation level thirteen cultivators have to be cautious.”

“Ha! Senior Brother Yun is about to show his skills!”

“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Yun to be pushed to this extent…”

As one of the five spirit cultivators of Qingyun, Qingniao knew Yun Hai’s exceptional nature.

Using the Mysterious Golden Gourd indicates that Senior Brother Yun is getting serious.

For a Qi Cultivation level twelve cultivator to get serious, Xia Liu is bound to be defeated.

However, regardless of the outcome of this duel, Xia Liu has earned respect.

Fighting as a Qi Cultivation level ten cultivator against a level twelve.

Just his courage alone is admirable.

Moreover, he even forced Senior Brother Yun to such a state, showcasing his abilities.

But alas, he wants to defeat Senior Brother Yun.

Just being a Qi Cultivation level ten cultivator is not enough.

The appearance of the Mysterious Golden Gourd captivated everyone in the area.

The space grew oppressive.

Xia Liu focused intently.

He sensed a strong threat from the Mysterious Golden Gourd.

If he wasn’t careful, he could get seriously injured.

He had to be cautious!

“A nearly Middle Grade Spiritual Energy, the Mysterious Golden Gourd!”

“The spirit weapon that first Sect Master made famous in the world!”

“With Yun Hai’s current cultivation, he can unleash five layers of power from the Mysterious Golden Gourd. Xia Liu is doomed!”

The three elders knew more about the Mysterious Golden Gourd than any disciple present.

This spirit weapon has been passed down since the Cultivator Era.

With Yun Hai, who knows which generation it is.

The power of the Mysterious Golden Gourd even makes Foundation Establishment cultivators step back.

Now it depends on whether Xia Liu has the ability to withstand the power of gilding.

“While the Mysterious Golden Gourd is nearly a Middle Grade Spiritual Energy with naturally great power, don’t underestimate the spirit weapon in Xia Liu’s hand,”

Liu Hong reminded.

“Indeed, the spirit weapon in Xia Liu’s hand is very peculiar, neither sword nor saber, but both.”

“I recall seeing records of such a strange weapon somewhere.”

“Elder Li, are you referring to the Single-Edge Sword?”

“Yes! The Single-Edge Sword! It’s neither a sword nor a saber, yet is both, stepping beyond the sword and saber domain, merging into a new style, legend has it that someone wielded it back in the day, defeating a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with only Qi Cultivation level fifteen.”

…

Once it was confirmed that the sword in Xia Liu’s hand was a Single-Edge Sword, the three elders gasped in shock.

Though the Mysterious Golden Gourd was rare, the Single-Edge Sword was even more so.

Too few records exist about the Single-Edge Sword.

Unless someone has truly seen it, no one in the world knows its limits of power.

“The Single-Edge Sword…”

Liu Hong looked deeply at Xia Liu, recalling his first encounter with him.

He had noticed Xia Liu’s uniqueness back then.

Owning a storage container, with a rare weapon, and mastering high-rank spirit techniques.

All indicated that this young man was extraordinary!

…

“Junior Brother Xia Liu, it’s not too late to turn back now and offer an apology to everyone,”

Yun Hai advised before unleashing the Mysterious Golden Gourd.

“Senior Brother Yun, go ahead, let me witness the true power of the Mysterious Golden Gourd.”

Xia Liu was fired up; rare to encounter such an opponent.

How could he retreat?

If he didn’t test his limits, how would he dare to face the monster of Xuantian Sect on the stage of the Immortal Sect’s grand competition?

“In that case, be cautious!”

With a word of caution, the Mysterious Golden Gourd opened, and gilding surged out, enveloping the surroundings in golden light.

The golden light pierced everyone’s eyes, causing pain.

Xia Liu, however, remained unaffected, opening his Wisdom Eyes, secretly sensing the changes of the Mysterious Golden Gourd and the gilding.

As Yun Hai’s Seal Decree rose and fell, the gilding from the Mysterious Golden Gourd channeled and formed.

It transformed into a golden phoenix.

The Phoenix King’s might, power equal to heaven.

Roar!

A piercing roar echoed as the Phoenix King flapped its enormous wings, soaring into the Nine Heavens.

The next second, its dazzling golden eyes locked onto a certain spot on the ground.

The roar resounded again, capable of shaking the heavens, as the golden Phoenix King shot down from the Nine Heavens with absolute speed.

The power it carried made the legs of low-rank warriors outside the arena tremble, as if they might kneel at any moment.

“He’s finished. This is the final move of the three forms of the Mysterious Golden Gourd, enough to defeat a Qi Cultivation level ten cultivator!”

“The might of the Phoenix is truly terrifying!”

“Xia Liu is going to lose.”

Watching the Phoenix King descending, the three elders all sighed.

Though Xia Liu had remarkable abilities and held a rare Divine Blade.

When it comes to foundation, he’s far inferior to Yun Hai.

Yun Hai also possesses the Mysterious Golden Gourd, leaving Xia Liu with no chance of victory.

“Three elders, it’s too early to draw conclusions. Just watch, this level isn’t enough to make him lose.”

Liu Hong had witnessed Xia Liu’s sword moves injuring even Ye Tiande…
