In the skies, even Yu Shangrong who always remained calm despite the situation he was in found his forehead wet with sweat . His breath was becoming unsteady unlike before .
Yu Zhenghai was in a similar state . Sweat dripped down his arms . The rising sun cast its rays on the beads of moisture, causing them to glisten .
The Four Great Protectors were deeply impressed by what they had seen so far .
The two opponents seemed to have used up everything in their arsenals, and yet, there was no clear winner .
“Your Guiyuan Sword Technique is truly powerful!” Yu Zhenghai was not stingy with his praise . “I can say the same for the Great Dark Heaven Memorial . ” Yu Shangrong managed a smile .
Hua Chongyang looked at this speechlessly . The two of them never relented on these perfunctory praises throughout their battle that lasted for three days and three nights . He was used to it by now . After the two of them finished praising each other, they resumed their fight . However, both of them looked exhausted compared to before . Even so, the battle between them was not something other cultivators could hope to match .
Hua Chongyang swept his gaze across Hundred Leaves Lake . The lake, which occupied an area of several miles, was completely destroyed . Lilac Mountain, which was nearly 100 feet tall, had crumbled . Ten mountains in the vicinity of Radiant Cloud Forest had been flattened . Wherever the energy blades swept past as their battle shifted, trees fell . There were also countless beasts on land and in the air that were indiscriminately killed by the energy blades .
The place resembled a forest after a great fire or a battlefield after a war . No place was left intact as far as the eyes could see .
Meanwhile, Si Wuya did not watch the battle in the air . Instead, he waited for it to end as he sat in the forest . He did not wish for his senior brothers to fight . However, at this point, he found himself slightly anticipating the outcome . As Eight-leaf experts, who was more superior? Would it be Eldest Senior Brother or Second Senior Brother?
In just a blink of an eye, four hours had passed…
Si Wuya did not continue to wait in the forest . He felt that the battle was decreasing in intensity . He knew it was nearing its end so he flew toward the direction of the battle .
Meanwhile, below the Nether Sect’s huge chariot, the Jasper Saber spun skyward . A supersized energy windmill crashed through the towering trees in the area, effectively breaking them .
Yu Shangrong moved at top speed . Left, middle, right .
Three figures flitted here and there . When the onlookers saw this, they felt as though they were in a dream . They could not see clearly .
Yu Zhenghai knew this was one of the sword skills Yu Shangrong was known for, the Return and Enter Three Souls . He shouted, “Break!” A circle of energy radiated from him .
Although this burst of energy looked simple, it was the greatest and most domineering skill of the Great Dark Heaven Memorial . As the energy rippled out into the surroundings, it merged with the Dark Heaven Starlight . The energy blade instantly enlarged and moved outward . With all his power inside his dantian’s sea of Qi, he controlled the Primal Qi of heaven and earth . With that, a tidal wave suddenly appeared!
Sovereign Descent?
Hua Chongyang shouted, “Activate!”
His Seven-leaf avatar appeared .
The other three knew what Hua Chongyang, and they followed suit, activating their avatars .
Four avatars shielded the huge chariot from below .
Boom!
The tidal wave rose up before falling again .
The energy wave was blocked by the four avatars .
Even so, the backlash caused the flying chariot to move up as though it was lifted by the wind .
The four great protectors’ faces turned red from the effort they exerted . Apart from awe, they were filled with respect and fear as well .
Si Wuya was halfway toward the battle when he felt the incoming wave of power . He frowned . “Drat!”
Bam!
Si Wuya crossed his arms before himself and conjured up his energy to shield himself .
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Si Wuya reeled back, crashing through more than ten trees before he fell . Blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth . He had no time to worry about this . He was glad this was just the aftermath of their attacks . He had used all his strength to defend against it . The injury he received was within a reasonable range . He wiped the blood away and continued on his way .
On the other hand, Duan Xing also saw the tidal wave of energy rolling toward them . He thought to himself excitedly, ‘The time to shine has come!’ He activated his avatar and formed a black barrier .
Boom!
Lu Zhou initially intended to block the impact with the Heavenly Writing’s extraordinary power . He did not expect Duan Xing to act so quickly .
With a loud boom, the flying chariot flew back… It resembled a ship that was being pushed back by the waves of the ocean .
Lu Zhou frowned . The cooldown period was almost over . He prayed that Duan Xing would not fall short of expectations at this crucial moment .
At this time, Yu Shangrong’s three figures vanished as the Sovereign Descent and the Dark Heaven Starlight attacked . Only a figure could be seen as he reeled back . As soon as he reeled back, he tossed his Longevity Sword .
Whoosh!
Yu Zhenghai, who was currently letting out a burst of energy, could not spare any of his power to defend himself . He could only widen his eyes and try his best to turn to the other side .
Whoosh!
The Longevity Sword slashed past Yu Zhenghai’s shoulder before it dove and stabbed into the ground .
At the same time, the Jasper Saber plunged into the soil with a thud as well .
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong landed .
The entire place fell silent .
The battle had ended abruptly .
After an unknown span of time, both of them rose to their feet and faced each other from a distance . They no longer launched any attacks . The pride that was deeply etched into their bones would never allow them to be in a battered state .
There were hints of blood at the edge of Yu Shangrong’s lips . There was an angry red line on Yu Zhenghai’s shoulder .
Silence loomed over them as they smiled . Yu Zhenghai was the first to break the silence . He grinned and said, “The Enter and Return Three Souls isn’t what I expected it to be, to be honest . ”
Yu Shangrong responded with a smile, “The Sovereign Descent lacks the confidence of a king . ”
“You have no Primal Qi left . ”
“You have no Primal Qi left as well . ”
This was the issue . Who won and who lost? It was an awkward situation . None of them could say they were the victor .
The four great protectors were from the Nether Sect . They did not have the right to be the judges of this battle . There was only one person cut out for the job .
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong both thought of the same person; Si Wuya . Speak of the devil . Si Wuya appeared in their sights . “Seventh Junior Brother, what great timing…” Yu Zhenghai said excitedly .
“Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother . ”
“Seventh Junior Brother, it’s good that you’re here . ”
“Greetings, Second Senior Brother . ” Yu Zhenghai said, “Now… Who do you think won this battle? Is it Second Junior Brother or me?”
Si Wuya was at loss for words . ‘What does this have to do with me? Can’t you guys just fight and decide for yourselves? I’m only here to see the outcome . ’
Yu Shangrong said, “Seventh Junior Brother, you can be honest… Who do you think is more skilled, Eldest Senior Brother or me?”
Uh… I think I’m going to have a breakdown . ’
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were both eagerly awaiting his answer .
Si Wuya was an intelligent person . He quickly observed his surroundings and the conditions of his two senior brothers . Then, he said with a bow, “It’s a draw . ”
“A draw?” Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong frowned at the same time
“Your Sovereign Descent has injured Second Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother . On the other hand, Second Senior Brother’s Return has injured you… Mhm, it’s a draw!” Si Wuya said with a straight face . He was inwardly proud of his own wit .
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong looked at Si Wuya at the same time . They did not seem happy with the answer . Si Wuya frowned . He cursed silently in his heart . He might become the victim of his own ingenuity . He felt that he had offended them both!
Yu Zhenghai spoke with a slightly annoyed tone, “In that case, we’ll fight again another day . ”
Yu Shangrong said, “I look forward to it . There must be an outcome between us, Eldest Senior Brother . ”
Si Wuya was speechless .
Yu Zhenghai raised a hand . His Jasper Saber emerged from the ground and returned to his grasp . The Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard on Yu Shangrong’s back as well .
None of them would back down .
Yu Zhenghai looked at Yu Shangrong coldly before he flew into the sky back to his flying chariot .
Si Wuya felt that something was amiss, but he could not do anything . He could only look on as his Eldest Senior Brother left . After a while, he discovered there was something wrong with his Second Senior Brother as well . “Second Senior Brother, are you alright?”
