Chapter 147: Fourth Form of the Nine Swords of Slaughter

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Fourth Form of the Nine Swords of Slaughter

From the stands, the crowd saw the Terminator send Yi Xiaoyao flying right at the start of the match and immediately burst into discussion.

"The Terminator is as strong as they say! He truly lives up to his reputation as an undefeated expert with a 170-win streak!"

"It looks like this Yi Jian, as monstrous as he is, is still leagues behind the Terminator!"

"Yi Jian is good at speed, and so is the Terminator. But it’s obvious the Terminator’s speed is far more terrifying!"

"After all, the gap in their Cultivation is just too wide. Yi Jian is five minor realms below the Terminator. What’s more, the Terminator is someone who can hold his own against a Golden Core Eighth Layer expert. The outcome is a foregone conclusion."

Meanwhile, on the Asura Platform, Yi Xiaoyao, who had been sent flying, flipped in mid-air and landed in a crouch.

Luckily, he had reacted just in time and blocked the Terminator’s attack with the Heavy Meteor Sword Sheath. Otherwise, he would be gravely injured, if not dead.

At the same time, Yi Xiaoyao’s eyes narrowed as he watched the Terminator not far away. ’That guy’s speed just now was incredible!’

"Heh heh, Yi Jian. That was just a little warm-up. How did it feel?"

The Terminator chuckled, whipping his long whip into a blur, and continued, "Next, I’ll show you that the speed you’re so proud of is slower than a tortoise compared to mine!"

Yi Xiaoyao slowly stood up, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

"My speed is inferior to yours?"

After asking the question with a cold laugh, Yi Xiaoyao slowly drew the Bloodthirsty Sword from the Heavy Meteor Sword Sheath, then casually tossed the scabbard to the ground.

BOOM!

The moment the Heavy Meteor Sword Sheath hit the ground, it was like a mountain crashing down, letting out a deafening roar.

If the Asura Platform weren’t forged from special materials, a massive crater would have been blasted into it.

Even so, the entire Asura Platform shook violently, and everyone in the stands felt the astonishing tremor beneath their feet.

Everyone stared in horror at the Heavy Meteor Sword Sheath, which had embedded itself diagonally into the Asura Platform, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Just how heavy is that scabbard?!"

"You mean to tell me that Yi Jian has been fighting this whole time while bearing the weight of such a heavy scabbard?"

On the Asura Platform, the Terminator, who had been mocking Yi Xiaoyao, was even more shaken.

He couldn’t help but wonder, ’If I were carrying something that heavy, could I still move with Yi Xiaoyao’s agility?’

The answer was obviously no.

Freed from the restraints of the Heavy Meteor Sword Sheath, Yi Xiaoyao instantly felt a lightness envelop his entire body. A draconic silhouette appeared on the surface of his skin.

The Terminator’s expression grew grave. His figure then vanished, reappearing at Yi Xiaoyao’s side as he viciously lashed out with his whip.

The whip tore through the air and struck Yi Xiaoyao’s body, but it felt like hitting nothing but empty air.

"It’s an afterimage!"

The Terminator’s expression changed drastically. With his speed, he had actually missed.

In the next instant, his pupils contracted as a cold voice sounded in his ear.

"Didn’t you say my speed was inferior to yours?"

At some unknown moment, Yi Xiaoyao had appeared behind the Terminator, and he slashed out with his sword.

The Terminator sensed the sharp Sword Qi behind him and, without turning back, erupted with astonishing speed again in an attempt to dodge.

But Yi Xiaoyao was cultivating an Earth Tier Body Technique. When he truly unleashed his speed, how could his opponent possibly dodge just because he wanted to?

The draconic silhouette let out a roar. Behind Yi Xiaoyao’s long sword, it was as if a true soaring dragon was giving chase. It caught up to the Terminator in a flash, the Sword Qi slicing through the back of his robe.

"How is this guy so much faster than me?!"

The Terminator’s face went pale with fright. He quickly gave up on dodging, spun around, and brandished his whip to block the Blood-colored Long Sword and its vicious Sword Qi.

Immediately after, he launched a furious counterattack. The whip swept out like a green serpent, creating countless afterimages.

Faced with an attack from a Golden Core Seventh Layer expert, Yi Xiaoyao naturally wouldn’t meet it head-on. With another dragon roar, he teleported to a spot beyond the whip’s reach.

The second volume of the Nine Heavens Dragon Soaring Technique truly lived up to its name as an Earth Tier Body Technique. Against any opponent below the Golden Core Seventh Layer, he could toy with them completely with his speed.

"Your speed, compared to mine, is slower than a tortoise!"

Yi Xiaoyao said to the Terminator with a faint smile. These were the exact words the man had said to him earlier, and now he was returning them in kind.

The crowd in the stands erupted in boos and curses aimed at the Terminator. Most of them had bet on him and naturally didn’t want to see him defeated by Yi Xiaoyao.

Hearing these sounds and Yi Xiaoyao’s mockery, the Terminator became absolutely livid.

"Very good! You’ve thoroughly enraged me! Now, no matter how fast you are, you won’t be able to escape my attacks! I’m going to pulverize you!"

"Lingchi Storm!"

As his voice fell, a violent gale began to rage. The Spiritual Power around the Terminator erupted as if it were tangible, forming countless nearly transparent Wind Blades that instantly swept across the entire Asura Platform.

Yi Xiaoyao’s expression tightened. Not only were these Wind Blades astonishingly powerful, but they were also inescapable. On the limited space of the Asura Platform, there was nowhere to hide.

And though Yi Xiaoyao could contend with this person using his speed, he still couldn’t take a full-powered attack from a Golden Core Seventh Layer expert head-on.

However, he showed no sign of panic.

"Perfect. I’ve just had a breakthrough in my understanding of Sword Momentum. I’ll use you to test its power today."

The next moment, Yi Xiaoyao raised the Bloodthirsty Sword before him. The Sword Momentum around his body spread out like a tidal wave, instantly enveloping the entire massive Asura Platform.

A blood-red aura erupted from Yi Xiaoyao’s body. As he brought his sword down, countless blood-red Sword Shadows filled with Killing Intent formed within the range of his Sword Momentum. Accompanied by streams of black Sword Qi, they surged out like a storm!

"Nine Swords of Slaughter, Fourth Form!"

"Beneath my Sword Momentum, all will be slain!"

The move Yi Xiaoyao had comprehended regarding Sword Momentum was precisely the Fourth Form of the Nine Swords of Slaughter. This move utilized Sword Momentum to its absolute limit, making it comparable to a low-grade Earth Tier Spiritual Skill!

The endless storm of Slaughter Sword Qi collided with the Terminator’s Wind Blade storm. In an instant, it tore the Wind Blades to shreds and swept unstoppably toward the Terminator at the center of the storm.

"Wh-what level of Spiritual Skill is this? How can it be so powerful?!"

Every hair on the Terminator’s body stood on end. His scalp went numb as he watched the dense barrage of Slaughter Sword Qi, his terrified eyes looking as if they would pop out of their sockets.

SHRAAAK!

A cloud of blood mist rose into the air.

Within the Sword Momentum, the Terminator’s figure vanished instantly, leaving not even a scrap behind—only the spreading blood mist.

With a wave of his hand, Yi Xiaoyao dispelled the Sword Momentum. The Sword Qi dissipated, and he slowly pulled the Heavy Meteor Sword Sheath from the ground, sheathing the Bloodthirsty Sword once more.

At the same time, countless horrified gazes were fixed on Yi Xiaoyao.

Among these gazes was Flame Medicine Hidden, the man known by the alias Fire God, who had created a legendary record in the Asura Arena.

"That move just now... it was the Nine Swords of Slaughter!"

Flame Medicine Hidden’s eyes were full of astonishment, but a look of delight appeared on his face. He had been the one to give the Nine Swords of Slaughter to Yi Xiaoyao, so he naturally recognized it with ease.
