Originally, seeing Ximen Chuixue's movement that didn't resemble a technique at all, many major sect experts present sneered, thinking Ximen Chuixue was arrogant and conceited, daring to be so careless when facing Azure Sea Sect Elder Chen, a Profound Sovereign Realm Mid Stage expert.
But when that incomparably dazzling sword light flashed out, the sneers on their faces instantly froze.
As Profound Sovereign Realm experts, how could they not sense the extreme sharpness contained within that sword light? That extreme sharpness, as if wanting to sever the entire world, made their souls tremble.
Ximen Chuixue, with what seemed like just a light push with his thumb, could unleash such a stunning sword strike. Such swordsmanship shocked these major sect experts. Even General Chen Lie, who had been steadily seated in the top position, narrowed his pupils.
This sword strike made even General Chen Lie, a Profound Sovereign Realm Peak expert, feel somewhat alarmed.
He couldn't imagine that such terrifying sharpness could be unleashed from such an inconspicuous movement. General Chen Lie's expression, which had initially been one of anticipation for a good show, turned serious.
He took a deep look at Ximen Chuixue, originally thinking this was just a farce, but unexpectedly, this so-called Divine Immortal Sect actually had such a swordsmanship master!
Boom! Under the gazes of everyone, that extreme sword light collided with the sky-covering palm print that had been pressing down. A powerful wave of energy instantly swept out, and the entire high platform shook violently.
If not for the timely reaction of the many Profound Sovereign Realm experts present, who circulated their power to protect themselves and the high platform simultaneously, this platform would likely have been crushed directly by this powerful energy fluctuation.
"How is this possible?"
Just then, a cry of alarm attracted everyone's attention. The one who cried out was Azure Sea Sect's Elder Chen. At this moment, his eyes were filled with fear and disbelief as he looked at the sky above.
Elder Chen's unusual state made the many major sect experts present feel puzzled, and they also followed Elder Chen's gaze to look up. When they saw the scene in the sky, they were instantly shaken, and a look of shock appeared on their faces!
They saw that after colliding with the palm strike unleashed by Azure Sea Sect Elder Chen, that extreme sword light easily cleaved through Elder Chen's palm. That terrifying giant palm, which had made even them, Profound Sovereign Realm experts, feel palpitations, shattered as easily as foam.
Then, that extreme sword light, with an unstoppable momentum, slammed fiercely towards Elder Chen. Even before it arrived, the extreme sharpness made Elder Chen feel a stinging pain in his skin.
It was this stinging pain that jolted Elder Chen awake from his shock. He hurriedly and frantically circulated the power within his body, and layer upon layer of protective barriers composed of immense Profound Qi instantly appeared in front of Elder Chen, enveloping his entire body within. This sword strike from Ximen Chuixue suppressed all of Elder Chen's anger. At this moment, in Elder Chen's heart, only fear remained.
His palm strike just now had not held back in the slightest! He had used all his strength, completely intending to crush Ximen Chuixue and the others. But even his full-strength palm strike couldn't even block a single sword strike from Ximen Chuixue, not even for a second.
It was directly annihilated. If Ximen Chuixue had used Flamboyant Swordsmanship, he might have felt a little better. At least that would have looked like Ximen Chuixue used his full strength. But this was just a push with a thumb, yet it unleashed such a terrifying sword strike. Just thinking about it was frightening.
A sword strike unleashed with the sword drawn only half an inch could be so stunning. If the sword was fully drawn, what a terrifying sight would that be? Bang! While countless thoughts raced through Elder Chen's mind, Ximen Chuixue's sword strike heavily slammed into the protective barrier in front of Elder Chen.
The sharp sword light instantly pierced through several layers of protective barriers, and a huge force crashed in, even sending Elder Chen flying backwards, heavily smashing onto the high platform!
The entire high platform shook, and the area where Elder Chen crashed shattered, with gravel and stones flying in all directions. The major sect experts present completely ignored the flying gravel and stones, their eyes fixed on the smoke and dust-filled area.
They had imagined many possible outcomes, but never had they imagined the outcome would be Ximen Chuixue defeating Azure Sea Sect Elder Chen with a single sword strike.
"You... dare...!"
When the major sect experts clearly saw Elder Chen's situation, their expressions changed drastically.
At this moment, Elder Chen was kneeling on the ground in a half-kneeling posture, his knees stained with blood, and the ground he knelt on had directly exploded into a huge pit.
Elder Chen looked at Ximen Chuixue in disbelief, and fragmented words escaped his mouth!
Suddenly, a thin blood-red line cracked open on Elder Chen's neck, blood like a fountain gushed out, and then, Elder Chen fell straight down, completely losing consciousness.
Hiss!
When this scene unfolded, a chorus of gasps of cold air suddenly rang out on the high platform. Even General Chen Lie's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up, looking at Azure Sea Sect Elder Chen's corpse, his face somewhat blank!
A single sword strike killed Azure Sea Sect Elder Chen, a Profound Sovereign Realm Mid Stage expert. This outcome was something General Chen Lie had never expected.
Especially Ximen Chuixue's peculiar way of drawing his sword, yet it could create such power, which made General Chen Lie's heart surge with shock. As a Profound Sovereign Realm Peak expert, he might also be able to kill Profound Sovereign Realm Mid Stage Elder Chen, but he definitely could not do it as easily and effortlessly as Ximen Chuixue. It was simpler than killing a chicken.
After the shock, General Chen Lie frowned, taking a deep look at Ximen Chuixue, who had calmly sat back down in his chair, his eyes flashing with apprehension.
This Divine Immortal Sect, he had never even heard of it, but he never expected this Divine Immortal Sect to have such terrifying existences as Ximen Chuixue. Based solely on Ximen Chuixue's sword strike just now, even he, Chen Lie, dared not underestimate Ximen Chuixue.
"Go investigate, what is the origin of this Divine Immortal Sect!" Then, Chen Lie whispered to the red-armored general beside him. General Chen Lie's words awakened the red-armored general from his shock. The red-armored general nodded hastily and hurried away.
"Divine Immortal Sect, what kind of sect is it exactly?" While General Chen Lie was wondering about the origin of the Divine Immortal Sect, Elder Qin Sheng's wrinkled face also showed a look of shock, and he murmured softly.
He had never expected such an outcome. Recalling what Ximen Chuixue had said to Elder Chen before he attacked - "If you attack, you will die" - Elder Qin Sheng's heart was even more shaken. Before even attacking Azure Sea Sect Elder Chen, Ximen Chuixue had already been confident of killing him? And Elder Zhu Qin beside Elder Qin Sheng also had her cherry-red mouth slightly open, her pretty face full of blankness.
Ximen Chuixue's strength was constantly refreshing her worldview. It was as if nothing could withstand Ximen Chuixue's sword strike.
Severing the arm of Four Directions Palace Elder Gui Xiong was also with one sword strike; killing Azure Sea Sect Elder Chen was also with one sword strike.
It seemed that there was nothing that Ximen Chuixue couldn't solve with a single sword strike. On the other side, the Heaven Heart Sect's Daoist-robed beautiful woman was trembling all over, hiding among the many shocked major sect experts, for fear of being noticed by Ximen Chuixue.
She hadn't expected Ximen Chuixue's strength to be so terrifying. That one sword strike had completely shattered her courage.
After a long while, many major sect experts recovered from their shock. Looking at Ximen Chuixue, who had closed his eyes to rest, their minds became heavy. They silently walked back to their seats and sat down, without speaking. Even General Chen Lie was silent. The entire high platform was deathly silent.
At this moment, the name of the Divine Immortal Sect was deeply etched in the minds of General Chen Lie and the many major sect experts present. Even after a long time, they probably wouldn't be able to forget Ximen Chuixue's sword strike!
It was a sword strike stunning enough to amaze the world!
Wang Feng, who was in the Demon Sealing Land, had no idea that Ximen Chuixue had caused such a huge commotion. Even if he knew, he would only be delighted and would only praise Ximen Chuixue for doing a good job, for displaying the prestige of his Divine Immortal Sect!
At this moment, Wang Feng was leading Mu Yunfei and the others, hiding under a black tree, observing two groups of people confronting each other not far away. Among these two groups of people, one group was composed of Monks in Monk's Robe, and the other group was cultivators wearing Daoist Robes embroidered with feathers.
"Sect Master, these two groups of people, one group is disciples of the top sect Flying Feather Sect, led by Flying Feather Sect's top prodigy Ye Feng. The other group is disciples of the major sect Non-Phase Sect, led by Formless Sect's top prodigy Wu Nian!" Li Tianxin glanced at the two groups of people and explained softly beside Wang Feng.
Her warm breath teased his ear, and the fragrance assaulted his nostrils, making his heart flutter. Damn it, if his willpower wasn't strong, he would probably have turned into a beast right now. This Li Tianxin, could she be lusting after him, this handsome and extraordinary Sect Master?
"Formless Sect has Buddhist cultivators?"
Wang Feng shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, looked at the two groups of people, and asked. In this world, Profound Qi cultivation was mainstream, but there were also some other ancient cultivation methods passed down, among which Buddhism and Daoism were examples.
"Yes, Sect Master! Formless Sect is the only Buddhist and Daoist sect within the Three Great Empires. Although its strength does not reach the level of a top sect, it cannot be underestimated, especially Buddhist and Daoist sects have some bizarre attack methods that are difficult to defend against!" Li Tianxin nodded and said, her tone carrying a trace of apprehension towards the Non-Phase Sect!
Hearing this, Wang Feng nodded to show he understood, and then said nothing more, his gaze fixed on the two groups of people. He didn't know if these two groups of people would give him face and let him play the role of the oriole. In the middle of these two groups of people, there was a purple flower in bud, looking incredibly dreamlike, and this purple flower was also the main culprit that caused these two groups of people to confront each other.
This purple flower was called Purple Spirit Profound Flower, and it was a peak Sovereign Realm level Treasure of Heaven and Earth. Once a cultivator consumed it, there was a 20% chance of enlightenment, thereby improving their cultivation. If combined with other heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine the Purple Spirit Profound Pill, it could even increase the probability of peak Sovereign Realm experts breaking through to the Profound Sovereign Realm by 50%.
