The Sword to Determine Victory

He closed his eyes and slowly raised Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword up, the powerful Spirit Qi that had always been revolving around him suddenly disappeared without a trace. He recovered the calmness he portrayed before the match, becoming like an ordinary mortal.

~Strange!~

~So strange!~

Li Chang Zai was feeling afraid! His eyes were fixated on Su Yun, he did not dare to blink as he stared at him intently. The calmer Su Yun was, the more he felt uneasy, Li Chang Zai had never been as focused now as he was before!

He had sought revenge, trained bitterly and killed almighty beings before, but regardless of what it was, he had never been so cautious and careful as he was currently.

Or in other words, Su Yun was his life enemy!

The blood red dome started to change as it gradually became infected with a black gloss, as though a starless night sky had descended, at the same time, gales that cut like blades suddenly blew over, cutting everybody's body. As time dragged on, the fervent gales became even more ferocious!

All of the broken parts of the stage were instantly swept away, even the powerful Spirit Cultivators were not spared.

The evaluators all stood up and looked around, their eyes filled with surprise.

~It's an extremely strange situation, could it be a terrifying mystical technique unleashed by somebody else?~

Creak!

Just then, a strange sound came out from all sides of the stage. Everyone anxiously turned to look, only to see that a strange light blue wall had appeared all around the stage that swayed gently.

"Is that a barrier?"

Xiao Zi Ru asked.

"Is that a protection barrier to protect the spectators from the powerful attacks by isolating the destruction unleashed by the participants who used mystical techniques?" Liu Gu asked in shock.

"That's right!" Xiao Zi Ru replied and nodded her head: "It is the protection barrier. Normally, this protection barrier will always remain in hibernation, it is extremely difficult to form and for it to appear, that can only be because of one thing!"

"What?"

"It is facing, or is about to face a powerful mystical technique able to threaten it to the point of making it form!!!" Xiao Zi Ru said coldly: "This protection barrier is a sort of precautionary warning, informing everyone that a participant is about to use an extremely powerful killing technique!"

"Killing technique!"

Everyone was shocked! According to the rules of competition, once a participant had unleashed a killing technique, the four evaluators had to go up the stage to stop them, but at that moment, no one even dared to have the thought to do that!

From the standard of the two participants, none of the evaluators had the confidence of taking them down!

"Then are we required to make some defensive measures?"

Li Gui Fang asked.

"What is there to do? They are not even at the fifth stage of the Spirit Master Realm, you think they can flip the heavens? You guys might not know this, but this protection barrier was personally deployed by a seventh stage Spirit Master Realm cultivator employed by the organisers and not anybody can deal any harm to the barrier." Zhang Guo Hao swore.

"Oh? Seventh Stage Spirit Master?" Xiao Zi Ru looked at him, then retorted: "If that's the case, why will the protection barrier have a reaction?"

"That..."

But, before Zhang Guo Hao could explain, new changes had already occurred on the stage! Su Yun had raised the Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword and while twisting his steps to dodge the beam of swords from the sky, he blocked Li Chang Zai's swift attacks.

There was no Spirit Qi on him, but instead, his sword had started to release a gradually increasing sharp and cold Qi.

This Qi became thicker the faster he danced with his sword! There was no leakage of Profound Spirit Qi from Su Yun's body, but the Spirit Qi on the sword was becoming increasingly stronger, as though he had imbued all of his Profound Spirit Qi into the sword in his hand!

His movements were natural, as though it was made by the heavens as he moved fluidly, regardless of whether he was dodging or parrying, everything was done to perfection! Li Chang Zai's torrential attacks actually missed, he was unable to touch Su Yun at all.

At this moment, Su Yun's speed increased again.

Li Chang Zai did not know how much Su Yun increased his speed by, but he felt that Su Yun was like an illusion and he was no longer able to even touch a hair on Su Yun. It was as though Su Yun knew of his moves even before he had executed them, as if he knew where his attacks were aimed at. Regardless of how ferocious they were, it was useless if they could not hit.

~What realm has he reached in terms of speed?~

Li Chang Zai started to panic in his mind.

~I have already taken out my Lifeforce treasure, but I am unable to harm him, how strong is he, truly?~

"Could it be? That I will lose to Su Yun today?"

Li Chang Zai muttered to himself.

~No, No! No way! I will definitely not lose!!!~

Li Chang Zai became calm, his eyes brimming with unwillingness.

At that moment, he had forsaken everything. If he still did not defeat Su Yun, he would never be at ease!

"Ahhh!!!"

Li Chang Zai roared furiously, the sword in his hand suddenly exploded with close to three times the speed, the frequency of his attacks were already close to a thousand swords per second! Although none of his swords had any Profound Spirit Qi imbued in them, the power accumulated in every attack was astonishing!

The current Li Chang Zai was most probably already someone whom not even the organisation representatives could defeat!

The sudden increase in speed startled Su Yun as he stumbled with the change with momentum, the hand that wielded his sword became even more pressured, his movements became messier as he panicked

Suddenly!

Li Chang Zai, whose eyes were almost bloodshot, caught sight of a flaw from Su Yun, he secretly chided and suddenly changed his sword trajectory, his sword that was initially aimed at Su Yun's shoulder diverted towards the left by a few centimeters.

Clang!!!

Two swords clashed.

Li Chang Zai's sword had directly cut onto the Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword's hilt! Seeing that, Li Chang Zai's expression became even more sinister, his eyes gleaming with unconcealable light: "Su Yun! You lose!!!"

He roared and suddenly increased his pressure on Su Yun and managed to hook onto Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword's hilt as he flung it into the sky, out from Su Yun's hands.

Sou!

The blood red sword was flung into the air and spun a few rounds before dropping onto the ground.

At that moment, Su Yun was barehanded!!!

When a swordsman no longer had a sword, could he still be called a swordsman? Would he still pose a threat?

The answer is definitely a no.

It was an opportunity of a lifetime!

Li Chang Zai suddenly went close to Su Yun with a gleam in his eyes, unleashing a large quantity of sword images that swarmed towards Su Yun.

At that moment, he wanted to use his most ferocious technique to determine the winner and loser!

~Everything depends on this move!~

"Sword Devouring the Heavens!!!"

He roared out.

This was Li Chang Zai's famed consummate technique and what he relied on to be called 'Swift Sword'. His reckless slashing produced sword images that covered the sky! No one could parry it, no one could defend against it, the sky filled with savage sword images was a horrifying sight!

When the roar came out, every pair of eyes were fixated straight at Li Chang Zai.

~The winner is about to appear!!!~

Right at the moment the roar came out

Crack!!!

The protection barrier shielding the spectators instantly shattered.

Followed with that was a clear voice!

"Single Sword Rising Wind!"

In that moment, tthe Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword that had fallen to the ground suddenly glowed with red light and flew straight back to Su Yun's hand, where he stepped forward and completed a full slash upwards.

The sword did not release any splendor or light, the sword tip did not explode with any eye catching dazzle, or any signs of earth shaking power.

But the moment his attack was completed, the clouds and winds changed, gales shrieked everywhere, many pitch black wind that resembled blades blew into the competition grounds shattering the protection barrier apart! Li Chang Zai who was dancing fervently with his sword immediately stopped as he froze

Roar!!!

A furious roar from the gales!!!

The sky darkened as black clouds descended, every single spectator present felt a choking sensation, all of the weaker cultivators' faces turned pale white, they all had difficulty breathing, while only Su Yun stood in the center, looking extremely calm.

What happened? Practically everyone present had the same thought arising in their mind!!!

Seeing Li Chang Zai frozen there, Su Yun turned his hand and kept the red sword back into the sword sheath, he stopped his Profound Spirit Qi and dispelled the 'Single Sword Rising Wind'.

The protection barrier was completely destroyed and not only that, even the entire stage was shattered into smithereens.

Su Yun did not complete the 'Single Sword Rising Wind', as there were too many spectators, holding back would be advantageous for him. Furthermore, his battle against 'Li Chang Zai' was not like facing against Feng Mo Qiang or other experts, unleashing the technique to such a degree was sufficient.

Chi chi chi chi chi chi

Right then, the blood red sword in Li Chang Zai's hands shattered, finally transforming into blood red liquid that fell to the ground.

"Urgh..."

Li Chang Zai anxiously held onto his chest as he spat out blood, he retreated a few steps as he swayed greatly.

He saw it.

Su Yun's attack, was not aimed at his body, but had completely destroyed his sword!

With his sword destroyed, the user had been defeated.

By using the treasured sword produced from his lifeforce, it was Li Chang Zai's most powerful strength! With the sword destroyed, he had no hopes of winning.

The victor had been decided.

"So powerful!"

Li Chang Zai supported himself on a boulder at the side of the stage, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said weakly: "Su Yun, amazing, amazing, it was truly amazing for you to be able to unleash such a heaven defying sword strike! I, Li Chang Zai, has lost to you completely and convincingly."

Su Yun did not say anything.

Li Chang Zai held onto his broken sword, seemingly having difficulty with just standing.

"Can you tell me the name of that technique?" He had a gaze of anticipation.

"Single Sword Rising Wind." Su Yun spoke the name out calmly.

"Single Sword Rising Wind?"

When Li Chang Zai heard the name, he muttered it to himself, his mind replaying the scene where the heaven defying attack was unleashed, his eyes filled with immense shock.

"Single Sword Rising Wind, Single Sword Rising Wind..."

He turned and started to stagger out with a sway, he took one step at a time as he went down the stage, and headed out of the competition grounds.

From that day on, Li Chang Zai was no longer the swordsman with the fastest sword.

His Lifeforce Treasure had been destroyed, his talent and cultivation had suffered tremendous injury, life as a genius could no longer be reclaimed! No one understood why Li Chang Zai did what he did, maybe only he knew.

Countless of people felt pity and sighed

However, he never felt regret.

Su Yun quietly watched Li Chang Zai as he headed towards the big doors, unknowingly, an undulation occurred in his mind. It would also be difficult for him to erase the battle from his memory.

Plop!

Just then, Li Chang Zai who was swaying from right to left as he walked directly fell to the ground, fainted.
