Chapter 441 - 232: Sword Lotus Blooms, Sword Qi of the Cyan Nether (Part 3)

Liou Yuan’s gaze met his opponent’s, and almost simultaneously, a boiling killing intent erupted from both their eyes.

"Begin!"

With Ya Kuan’s voice signaling the start from the high platform.

Boom! Liou Xie’s body momentarily burst forth with thick fog, surging like waves, instantly sweeping over the entire Chaotic Scene.

Liou Family’s C-level Skill: Cloud Manipulation.

Liou Yuan was too familiar with this magic, and almost at the instant when Liou Xie made his move, a brilliant light shot out from his golden pupils.

Clang! The Moonlight Sword emerged.

Amidst the sword’s humming, Liou Yuan’s spiritual power surged around him, transforming into a dazzling blue stream, shooting straight at Liou Xie.

The azure long arch resembled a sharp arrow penetrating the Chaotic Scene, slicing the boiling fog in its path into two halves.

In an instant, it was already upon Liou Xie.

The combination of Treading Flowing Waves and Rain Curtain Stealth, Liou Yuan’s attack was a killing move.

The astonishing speed was rarely captured by disciples among the fifth peak of the Outer Sect.

It merely felt like a blur, and Liou Yuan’s sword edge was already slashing towards Liou Xie.

"What a fast sword!" Even Lv Zexuan, the current strongest in the Outer Sect, couldn’t help but praise.

On the field.

Azure sword light erupted from the Moonlight Sword, striking Liou Xie’s body.

Puff! The sword light blossomed, splitting Liou Xie’s body from the left shoulder to the right side of the abdomen, along with the fog behind him, leaving a massive gap.

From drawing the sword to the sword light cutting down, the whole process took merely the time of a breath, in which a battle against another in the Qi Cultivation Realm would have been over.

Yet he faced Liou Xie, a fake Foundation Establishment.

Liou Yuan could clearly feel the void-like sensation feedback from the sword edge.

Apparently, the sword did not cut into a solid body.

Liou Xie’s body dispersed within Liou Yuan’s sword light, turning into fog and vanishing.

Instead, several sharp sounds pierced from behind, rushing straight towards Liou Yuan.

Whizz whizz whizz!

His movements were without hesitation, employing Treading Flowing Waves to swiftly evade to the left.

Clang clang clang! Dozens of weapons condensed from fog rained down on the position where Liou Yuan just stood, covering the entire area.

The fog weapons struck the spirit iron-infused ground of the Chaotic Scene, sending forth a loud sound.

The peculiarity of the Chaotic Scene allowed those outside to clearly observe the situation inside.

Therefore, even Liou Xie’s Cloud Manipulation obscured the view, the external observers could still see the changes within the Chaotic Scene.

"The Liou Family’s Fog Vein’s Cloud Manipulation, perfect for a deadly duel like in the Chaotic Scene. Once the spell is cast, the entire field is under its influence."

"Liou Xie’s understanding of Cloud Manipulation has reached the pinnacle, how should Liou Yuan win?"

As soon as the two crossed swords, the outside disciples seemed to already feel Liou Yuan’s helplessness within the Cloud Manipulation.

Within the fog, even the view was obscured, and he couldn’t find Liou Xie’s true body, how could he win?

Liou Yuan remained calm, dodging the first wave of fog weapons attack, and in the rolling fog, the sound of chains rang again.

Chains of fog appeared around Liou Yuan.

Previously, Liou Tao had trapped Liou Yuan with this move, and the same spell in Liou Xie’s hands wielded greater power.

The dense chains surrounded Liou Yuan so tightly that there wasn’t a single gap, creating immense pressure.

The chains contracted towards the area where Liou Yuan stood at an astonishing speed.

Even the fast Treading Flowing Waves couldn’t evade this kind of blockade without gaps for maneuvering.

Once those chains bound Liou Yuan, the outcome was predictable.

"Is Cloud Manipulation the only inheritance of your Fog Vein?" Liou Yuan sneered.

Splash! The Shock Tide Sword rose.

Liou Yuan tried to use the Shock Tide’s nine sword techniques to deal with the chains based on his previous experience fighting Liou Tao.

The rippling sword moves spread in the field like waves, the sword light turning into tides, chopping the surrounding chains.

However, the sword light of Shock Tide fell upon those chains without affecting them in the slightest.

They continued to contract, the area where Liou Yuan stood getting smaller, about to be completely engulfed.

"What a pity, Liou Xie wins without strength." Many disciples sighed for Liou Yuan, thinking he couldn’t escape this time.

Boom! In the center of the area tightly surrounded by chains.

A pressure not inferior to that of Half-Step Foundation Establishment exploded within.

The domineering spiritual power forcibly paused the continuously contracting chains.

"Half-Step Foundation Establishment!" The disciples on Five Extremes Mountain exclaimed, evidently unaware Liou Yuan possessed this secret technique allowing his cultivation to surge to Half-Step Foundation Establishment.

Only the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division’s fifth peak exchanged smiles.

They were the survivors who experienced the battle in the demonic cave with Liou Yuan, truly knowing how strong Liou Yuan was.

"Mr. Liou is finally serious, Liou Xie shattered his Qi Mansion but is only Half-Step Foundation Establishment."

"I wonder if this Liou Xie can compare with Xu Hetong." Hu Weihao grinned.

The disciples of the Wind Chasing Division, especially those who had experienced that war, had full confidence in Liou Yuan.

Under the gaze of all.

Clang! A blue lotus bloomed at the center of the chains.

The lotus blossomed, expanding an area within the chains.

The center of the area was visible, Liou Yuan stood with his sword, his body surging with Sword Qi.

As the lotus protected Liou Yuan within, at the lotus’s center, Cyan Nether Sword Qi was born.

Liou Yuan’s face was expressionless, lightly striking the chains before him with his sword edge.

Silent Rain Cutter’s third sword: Broken Rain Traceless!

The Sword Qi shot out, its energy spanning a long arch, shaking the defensive barrier of the Chaotic Scene.

Sword Qi of the Cyan Nether.

Clang! The endless chains touching Liou Yuan’s Broken Rain Traceless shattered like rotten wood.

This sword not only neutralized the crisis but amid the sword light’s vibrant green hue, further tore open a vacuum gap through the fog engulfing the Chaotic Scene.

Broken Rain Traceless finally struck towards the corner of the Chaotic Scene, an inconspicuous area where the fog was thickest.

Light pierced through.

Puff! Blood bloomed in that area, and Liou Xie’s body was flung out.
