Jiang Xiu wasn't kidding. Since his move was able to block a God's power, a Demigod would definitely die. Ji Wudao snorted in response, "A Demigod is a Demigod, you can't change this fact. No matter how profound a Demigod's skill is, the disparity in power isn't something you can complement."
Saying so, Ji Wudao took another step forward. "Receive my true power!"
He released a several feet long bright sword light from his finger. It hacked down towards Jiang Xiu from above.
Jiang Xiu's expression changed, after which he immediately said - "Gather!"
The energy wave formed an energy barrier which appeared as sturdy as a wall of steel immediately, but it was akin to air facing that sword light. It got broken through easily then turned into fragmented energy strings.
"This sword attack of mine is equivalent to an energy weapon."
"An energy weapon is formed of incorporeal energy. There's nothing it can't overcome, and no spell can break it."
Jiang Xiu's energy barrier was pretty tough, yet it couldn't block this energy weapon. Jiang Xiu's expression turned solemn. Energy weapon? This is clearly the embryonic form of sword arts.
This man is walking the path of sword cultivation.
"After cultivating the sword for 300 years, I unintentionally comprehended this energy weapon and created a sword which can defeat any martial arts and destroy all kinds of weapons!"
"Being able to witness its might today is your good luck. You should feel honored and die contentedly under this move."
In an instant, the energy sword passed through the barrier and stopped as it released a hissing sound while it drew power from the void. If the energy weapon attacked below, it would cleave the entire Reddrop Peak, let alone Jiang Xiu.
A glint flickered through Jiang Xiu's eyes, "Ji Wudao, is this the basis of your strength?"
If he weren't just a Demigod right now and unable to draw power from the void, he would've taught him what's called a true sword art.
Whoosh!
Jiang Xiu evaded the attack. The energy weapon had almost sliced his body. Just the outer energy gave his deified skin a prickling pain as if a needle had poked into it. Immediately after dodging the attack, he charged towards Ji Wudao.
Ji Wudao's expression turned grim. Jiang Xiu was only 20 years old and a mere Demigod but he had evaded his energy weapon and possessed several strange techniques.
"Let me show you my strength once again!"
Ji Wudao raised his finger, continuously ejecting 10 white energy pulses which whizzed across the night sky, slowly transforming into the shape of flying swords as they shot towards Jiang Xiu.
You can dodge once, but can you do it twice or thrice?
"Did you think a Demigod can resist a God?"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The no. of flying sword lights was innumerable.
He hands kept releasing them continuously. Each wave released 5 of them which targeted Jiang Xiu across the night skies. Jiang Xiu was already sealed off by the tightly packed flying sword lights over a diameter of 10 m with him at the center.
In an instant, Jiang Xiu had fallen into an area of certain death.
"Too shocking!"
From the moment Jiang Xiu made his appearance, the people witnessing the battle were thoroughly shocked. They felt as if they had transmigrated into the worlds of legends where deities lived above the skies, and sword immortals controlled their swords to attack the enemy. The entire Reddrop Peak was full of an immortal breath right now.
"Is Ji Wudao just a Demigod? The power of that energy weapon is devastating. It feels as if the power of the entire void is available for his use. There's literally no limit to his power." A Demigod expressed his inference while frowning.
The people beside him agreed as well.
Though they didn't know what kind of an existence a God was or what abilities a God possessed, they could vaguely sense a locus of power to follow.
As for the martial artists of the lower realms, they were dazzled by the scene and utterly fascinated. "This is a Demigod? They are indeed existences capable of reaching the heavens, being able to control that terrifying power of nature."
"Who will win?"
An old man donned in a green robe asked.
"Ji Wudao!"
"Ji Wudao!"
Everyone gave the same answer, Ji Wudao. "Jiang Luoxia is indeed extraordinary but compared to Ji Wudao, he lacks in the strength of his power. They aren't on the same level. Ji Wudao can use the power of the world, but Jiang Luoxia can only rely on himself."
Moreover, from the very beginning, Ji Wudao had been suppressing Jiang Xiu. The situation had already become quite dangerous for Jiang Xiu ever since the energy weapon had appeared.
As for the ordinary people like Miao Xiaolin and Song Ronghao, they eyes had almost popped out.
"Are they even human?"
Jiang Xiu could fly in the sky while Ji Wudao could soar in the air in a fog-like state, releasing one sword light after another with each wave, resulting in the mountain stone behind Jiang Xiu breaking up into pieces. Reddrop Peak had already become ruined become recognition after they exchanged moves. At the moment the mountain stones smashed onto the ground after dropping from the sky, the people at the bottom felt as if a meteorite had crashed down. It was that shocking.
The worldview of the officials as well as the martial artists witnessing this battle had wholly collapsed, let alone of ordinary people like Miao Xiaolin.
In addition to shock, Cheng Lingsu, as well as the Jiang couple, were extremely anxious right now. The person fighting right now was Jiang Xiu. Just a single mistake could lead to eternal damnation.
"Ji Wudao, if you had met some other Demigod or even another God, your attack would've defeated them, but it's quite a pity that you're facing me…"
Jiang Xiu sighed inwardly. Ji Wudao's energy weapon had already grasped the doorway to sword arts. What's impressive was that he had done it on this Earth which wasn't suitable for cultivation, but unfortunately, it hadn't taken the form of a sword art yet.
This energy weapon as in the end merely a sharp energy, void of sword intent!
"Destroy!"
Jiang Xiu spoke out an abstruse, incomprehensible incantation note as that storm of flying swords dashed over towards him. He raised his index finger and drew a glyph in front of the swords coming over. Golden particles of light gathered together in the shape of the character as an intense power rushed out from it suddenly.
All the flying swords got sucked into that character as if they were entering a vacuum space. The flying swords had not only slowed down, they even seemed to have lost their power and started disappearing little by little from the back till the sharp end, completely vanishing in the end.
"Impossible!"
The character had managed to suppress the energy weapon. Seals could only suppress materialistic things while the energy weapon didn't have any attributes at all, so it didn't make sense that the character could suppress it. There was nothing the energy weapon couldn't subdue but nothingness could also conquer it.
Their eyes couldn't cheat on them. The energy weapon was defeated.
Ji Wudao's expression finally turned ugly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Ji Wudao was still in a daze, Jiang Xiu drew a line over the sky with his bare hand, "Ji Wudao, face my energy weapon as well!" As soon as he finished speaking, a white chain shot out from underneath that line he drew in the sky.
It was chain consisting of 10 sword lights each over ten feet long.
Chiiiirrr!
The sword chain split open the skies as if it were slicing through the night.
"WHAT!!!!?"
Even Ji Wudao couldn't remain collected after witnessing this scene. Jiang Xiu had used an energy weapon just like him. The energy weapon was something he had spent hundreds of years cultivating so he couldn't comprehend how Jiang Xiu had done it.
In his previous life, Jiang Xiu has cultivated the word and achieved grand accomplishment in the Dao of the Sword. Though he couldn't use a real sword art as he was neither an Immortal nor a God right now, he could still easily release an energy weapon. Moreover, from its appearance to the aura, his energy weapon was much more complete than Ji Wudao's.
"This doesn't make sense!"
Ji Wudao couldn't believe it. Boom! The violent force inside his body transformed into white smoke, puffing out of him.
"Jiang Luoxia, you think you can make fun of my bitter cultivation of hundreds of years?"
The energy weapon chopped on top of the white smoke which had rushed out of his body.
Bang!
The energy weapon couldn't proceed further and got blocked outside by the white smoke. It gradually began to turn paler and finally disappeared without a trace.
"Sigh!"
Jiang Xiu sighed yet again. The difference in the power between a Demigod and a God was too vast. It was just impossible to break a God's defense even if one possessed a high-level immortal art.
"Hahaha…"
"Jiang Luoxia, you're too naïve. You actually made a futile attempt to kill a God when you're just a mere Demigod."
"Only, you've truly shocked me!"
Ji Wudao shook his head, "I didn't expect such a monstrous, talented person like you would appear among the younger generation of this world. Moreover, you're still only 20 years old. If you weren't my enemy, I would've thought of letting you go, but it's a pity that you made me your enemy. If I let you go, you'll definitely harm me in the future."
"Jiang Luoxia, are you ready to die?!"
Saying so, a sword flickering with a sharp awn appeared in Ji Wudao's hand.
He… finally took out his sword!
