Chapter 673 - Will the Legend Continue?
Chapter 673 Will the Legend Continue?
The news had already been spread.
Chu Jiaoyang, the second Heavenly Legend in the Eternal Wind Star Region, was going to fight with Li Yidao, the mysterious practitioner wearing a silvery faceless mask. This event attracted the attention of countless people in the entire area of Immortal-slaying Platforms.
The space below the Immortal-slaying Platform was immediately crowded with people as soon as Chu Jiaoyang mounted the platform.
Most people fixed their eyes on Li Yidao.
In a sense, Li Yidao was more eye-catching than Chu Jiaoyang.
Everyone wanted to know if Li Yidao, who could win with one strike, would perform another miracle when he encountered such a strong opponent like Chu Jiaoyang.
Therefore, everyone held their breath and watched attentively the moment when Li Mu reached out his hand to grab the handle of his broadsword.
Numerous literary cultivators were already prepared to capture the instantaneous flash of the broadsword with their Water Mirror Jade when the fight began.
Chu Jiaoyang narrowed his eyes slightly as he exerted his Cultivation Method to its limit.
One of his hands turned as white as a piece of silvery-white jade, and the other turned splendid golden.
Rune symbols swirled.
The laws surged.
“He who strikes first gains the advantage... I don’t care if you strike once or twice. You will become a joke in the face of overwhelming power.”
Chu Jiaoyang made his move right away.
The power of the Golden Jade-shattering Hand was fully revealed.
This combat skill was a legendary, secret martial arts skill in the Eternal Wind Star Region.
As the current heir to this skill, Chu Jiaoyang had grasped its essential elements.
At the same time, Li Mu drew his broadsword.
He jiggled his wrist.
With a flash, his broadsword darted from the scabbard towards Chu Jiaoyang like a pouring waterfall.
“Just so-so. This strike is lame... I’m going to crush it.”
Chu Jiaoyang shouted as he laughed.
In his eyes, the power of this strike by Li Yidao was not worth mentioning.
There was nothing that the Golden Jade-shattering Hand could not destroy.
Chu Jiaoyang wanted to destroy Li Mu directly with his gold palm breaking Li Mu’s broadsword and his jade palm smashing Li Mu’s body.
However, in the next moment, Li Yidao suddenly changed the broadsword’s momentum.
The movement of the long broadsword suddenly slowed down.
The stony blade cut into the space between Chu Jiaoyang’s gold and jade palms at an extremely strange angle.
The blade slowly moved forward Chu Jiaoyang.
A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Chu Qingyang’s confident face.
At this moment, he suddenly had an incredible feeling that without any warning, his inner power was not running smoothly, and he felt like his gold and jade palms, which were originally invincible, sank into the mire and suddenly slowed down.
A tumult of shouting broke out below the Immortal-slaying Platform.
In the past, the strike was as fast as a flash every time Li Yidao wielded his broadsword.
It was so fast that many people couldn’t even catch sight of the broadsword.
However, Li Yidao’s slash was extremely slow today. The blade cut into the narrow gap between Chu Jiaoyang’s gold and jade palms inch by inch like a blunt knife cutting meat.
Almost everyone finally saw Li Yidao’s broadsword for the first time.
The long broadsword was made of a strange material that was neither stone nor gold. The blade was wide, thick, and heavy, which could be regarded as a huge one. This huge broadsword did not match Li Yidao’s body size. However, one had to admit that although it was huge, the lines of the blade were extremely smooth, looking inexplicably comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.
The body of the broadsword was snow-white, flashing with strange silvery light, as if it contained some mysterious power.
Some people stared at the broadsword with their eyes wide open.
Some people were stunned by the broadsword-using method.
This extremely slow strike was inexplicably enchanting.
Chu Jiaoyang’s gold and jade double palms, which were as fast as lightning at first, slowed down halfway, seeming to have been affected by the power of Li Yidao’s strike.
In the end, his palms were like snails traveling in the desert, moving so slowly that their movement could hardly be perceived by the naked eyes.
“You...”
Chu Jiaoyang looked as if he had seen a ghost.
He couldn’t understand why his ultimate move seemed to be out of control in the face of such a broadsword strike made by Li Yidao.
He felt like a flying bug trapped in a spider web. The more he struggled, the more tightly he was entangled in an invisible force.
Finally, he found that he seemed to be unable to move not only his palms but also his body. He couldn’t believe what happened to him.
Under the gaze of countless people, the blade of Li Yidao’s long broadsword slowly cut into the narrow gap between Chu Jiaoyang’s palms, broke down his defense, and slashed directly at his chest, cutting open the muscles and bones in his chest. Then, with another swing, the blade left a blood trail along each of his left and right arms.
Blood spurted out.
Li Yidao suddenly withdrew his broadsword and backed off.
A jet of blood squirted out of Chu Jiaoyang’s mouth like an arrow.
He regained control of his body.
However, the wounds on his body and the Broadsword Intent in his wounds deprived him of the ability to go on fighting.
At this moment, the strange colors on his gold and jade palms completely disappeared.
His power was broken down.
“You... What Cultivation Method did you use?”
Chu Jiaoyang stared at Li Mu, looking as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and his arrogance had disappeared.
He couldn’t understand what had just happened.
Li Mu did not answer.
He sheathed his long broadsword.
After that, he turned around to walk off the Immortal-slaying Platform.
Chu Jiaoyang fell into silence, and a vicious look suddenly flashed across his eyes. A long sword appeared in his hand, and with a bright flash of light, the sword flew ferociously towards Li Mu’s back.
The audience below the Immortal-slaying Platform burst into an exclamation.
In the twinkling of an eye, Li Mu already put his hand on the handle of the broadsword behind his left shoulder. Nobody knew when he did that.
With a flash of light, he lashed out at his opponent.
Blood was splashing.
Shadows were moving around.
“You...”
Chu Jiaoyang’s long sword was broken, so were his arms.
His face looked terribly pale. His two arms had been chopped off from his shoulders. His inner power dissipated, and his body was on the verge of collapse.
He had been severely injured.
Li Mu was unscathed. He slowly withdrew his broadsword.
This was his second strike.
He defeated the opponent with one strike.
The second strike injured his opponent.
Had he not held back his power when he made the first strike, one single strike would be enough.
Li Mu looked at Chu Jiaoyang, shook his head, and said with a contemptuous look on his face, “Do all the practitioners from the Eternal Wind Star Region behave themselves the same way? They launch stealthy attacks and use every possible means. It’s simply a disgrace to the other Heavenly Legends.”
“What do you know? The winner takes it all. I...” Chu Jiaoyang roared angrily.
“If killing were allowed on the Immortal-slaying Platform, you would have been a dead man.” Li Mu was disgusted with this kind of people. He raised his leg and kicked Chu Jiaoyang off the Immortal-slaying Platform.
The kick was heavy.
Click!
There came the sound of bones breaking.
Chu Jiaoyang’s arms had already been cut off, and he felt extreme pain. After he got kicked, countless bones in his body were broken, and he passed out below the platform.
Silence reigned. It was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.
This...
It turned out that Li Yidao made two strikes.
However, everyone could see that there was a reason for this.
At first, Li Yidao did not want to be so merciless, but Chu Jiaoyang didn’t appreciate his mercy at all. Like the short fat Heavenly Legend using double spears, Chu Jiaoyang chose to launch a stealthy attack at him.
Li Yidao made the second strike out of anger.
With the second strike, he directly chopped off Chu Jiaoyang’s arms.
The way of fighting of the Heavenly Legends from the External Wind Star Region was really despicable.
This was not the first time that they launched such a stealthy attack.
There were several times in the past when they had lost the fight on the Immortal-slaying Platform, but they ignored the mercy of their opponents and turned the tables by launching stealthy attacks. Instead of feeling ashamed, they felt proud of what they did and gloated about that.
Chu Jiaoyang, the arrogant man, really lost both the fight and his dignity this time.
“Just wait and see, Li Yidao. This matter is not over yet.”
A Heavenly Legend from the Eternal Wind Star Region glared at Li Mu coldly and made a threatening remark. After that, he called other practitioners from the Eternal Wind Star Region to help Chu Jiaoyang, who had been severely injured, and left with dejection.
Li Mu shook his head.
There was no need to worry about such people.
He descended the platform and left with the little fox girl Bi Yan, Dongfang Piaoliang, and the others in a flying boat.
However, the impact of this fight was great, and it was gradually spreading.
Many people thought that as a practitioner from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, Li Yidao had reached his limit after he defeated Lin Qingxuan.
However, Li Yidao had defeated Chu Jiaoyang, leaving them with no choice but to change their mind.
Li Yidao’s legend continued.
His first strike was simply inexplicable and amazing.
No one knew why such a slow strike broke down Chu Jiaoyang’s Golden Jade-shattering Hand, a move that Chu Jiaoyang used to dominate the External Wind Star Region.
They couldn’t understand that.
Could it be that, as many people said, the broadsword in Li Yidao’s hand had some kind of magic power?
In any case, Li Yidao won again.
His legend was still going on.
The person that Li Yidao defeated this time ranked among the top 300 on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. This was already shocking enough because Li Yidao initially ranked below the first 900. He was rising so quickly.
Many practitioners from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region were standing there, cheering and celebrating.
It was a moment of honor for them.
After so many years, a real legendary hero finally emerged in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
The young swordsman in black had almost recovered. He stood in the crowd and looked at the fading figures of Li Mu and the others thoughtfully. After a while, he finally left.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, the news spread like a storm.
Everyone was shocked.
Being listed as one of the top 300 on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions was a substantial change.
If a practitioner could be listed as one of the top 300 Heavenly Legends, it meant that no matter what his current identity and status were, he would definitely become a really influential person through continuous personal improvement, and he would be able to leave a mark of his own in the long history of the Ziwei Star Zone.
Such a person deserved to be roped in by all parties.
His ranking among the top 300 Heavenly Legends already proved his strength and potential.
If he could improve himself smoothly, he would definitely become an expert of the King Realm in the future.
The major forces in the Ziwei Star Zone, and even the Six Top Clans, would try their best to win over and recruit such Heavenly Legends.
...
The night fell.
It was a moonless and windy night.
Sitting in the quiet room, Li Mu was still thinking about the fight in the daytime.
The Eye of Flaws could detect the flaws of other people’s Cultivation Methods and combat skills, so he gained an absolute advantage over his opponent in the fight today. The reason why he defeated Chu Jiaoyang was that he spotted the flaw of the Golden Jade-shattering Hand in the Water Mirror Jade that Dongfang Piaoliang gave him.
He broke down Chu Jiaoyang’s ultimate move using the first skill in the broadsword manual that Divine-winged Fox gave him.
This broadsword manual with an incomplete title was indeed mysterious.
Divine-winged Fox said that if Li Mu could master all the skills in the broadsword manual and use them flexibly, there would be few people in the universe who could defeat him. It seemed that what he said was true.
Suddenly, the look on Li Mu’s face changed slightly.
He looked up.
Swoosh!
A flash of sword light moving as fast as lightning instantly penetrated the roof of the quiet room, and like the water of Star River falling from the sky, it dashed straight to Li Mu’s glabella.
Assassination?
Unprepared, Li Mu was unable to dodge it.
A fierce murderous vibe shrouded his entire body.
