Chapter 480: Stopping After Being Devoid of Energy

“Middle-grade intuition, so that was the case. Chuxue, Xuechu, it is most probably her…”

Lei Dong looked out from a distance, his eyes filled with an understanding. His expression was unusually complicated.

When he first saw that little brat he felt that this tiger cat race little girl seemed silly and extremely cute. She was pure and innocent, really loyal to Zong Shou. Apart from that, he didn’t feel anything else.

How would he know at that time that the brat would have such a shocking sword!

…Spirit and martial arts merging into one, combat martial body. Right away, all the sects and factions would remember her name.

Suchen’s expression was a little weird, “Common people path has many talents in this generation…”

To be able to resist Jueyu for 30 swords and still have the advantage, this was already the highest skilled experts within the cloud world.

One must know that this sword prince Jueyu could even win some grade 9 experts!

Lei Dong was speechless, thinking that their Sword Sect had made a huge loss.

Zong Shou, Chuxue, wasn’t that a buy one, get one free?

He also thought about Zong Yuan. No, it was buy one, get two free. He only hoped that his junior brother, who was training in the ten thousand sword vast habitat, wouldn’t disappoint him.

In the distance, the sword light shone and the swords rang out, disturbing Lei Dong’s thoughts.

He saw the situation there change once more. Jueyu had blocked an attack from Chuxue.

The red flames filled the sky, but this time, Jueyu only retreated by 120 feet!

Along with the 2 balls of sword shadows entangling and changing, Jueyu retreated less and less each time.

…120 feet, 110 feet, 100 feet!

Suchen’s brows rose, “It seems like he has stabilized himself.”

Lei Dong nodded his head. That person in the distance seemed to know that even if his sword technique was ethereal and indiscernible, it was ineffective towards Chuxue’s intuition.

He decided to change his usual style and directly and simply attacked. His sword speed had also increased by double. Although he was still having a tough time blocking, he could easily deal with it. His footsteps stabilized and that black fog sword wave started to expand once more.

But when it reached a hundred feet, Jueyu wasn’t able to reduce that distance by anymore.

Chuxue’s sword technique was also o improving at this moment. That first sword was as nimble and ethereal as a flying celestial body, and now it seemed to have merged into her sword.

It was light and her sword stance wasn’t so orthodox anymore, slashing out casually. Pretty much each sword strike was filled with a rhythm that tugged at the heartstrings. The sword trajectory was also indiscernible, unable to search for and predict.

What was more shocking was that this sword intent, apart from the qilin sword she grasped, it didn’t conflict with the other 4 types of god beast sword intent.

Looking at that extremely light and eye-catching sword light, a sentence floated up within Lei Dong’s mind.

…People good attacking dare to move above the nine heavens! One can find no traces, one can see no marks!

“What a spirit illusion sword intent, it is pretty much a heavenly combination with this Xuechu!”

He then swept around, only to see the weird expressions of the various people who watched the battle.

Most of them were extremely ugly.

Huge enemies of the common people path spread all about the cloud world. To most people, for them to have a talent on the level of Fangwen and Shui Lingbo was the worst possible news.

This meant that this common people demon sect that had betrayed the right path would be stable for thousands of years, its core unable to be shaken.

“Hey! This girl’s luck is shockingly good!”

Suddenly someone said in awe. Suchen and Lei Dong came back to their senses, their hearts moving as they looked carefully into the area. Following which their eyes were filled with shock.

Just as what that person had said, Chuxue’s luck was unexpectedly good.

Every time the 2 swords clashed, the void cracks that form would almost always not be on Chuxue’s side. Like it had its mind to try to avoid her body and not affect her sword trajectory.

Every time she struck out, the surrounding heaven and earth’s spiritual energy ratio would be perfect. It made it easy for her to control, always able to gather up enough five-element spiritual energy. It made each of her swords the optimal state. 100% of sword attacks could often reach 120% of its power!

If it was luck, then forget it. One could only say that she was really lucky.

But if she was controlling it on her own then that would be a little terrifying!

Chuxue, at this moment, seemed to enter a mysterious state. She seemed to be in an enlightenment state and seem to be flying.

Her eyes were lost, no anxiousness at all. However with every sword that stabbed out, the spiritual rhythm would increase, and the angle would also be more precise.

When it changed mid-swing, it became even tougher to predict, directly striking at the weaknesses, becoming more and more vicious. One sword was stronger than the last, unable to block at all!

Suchen’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. Luckily at this moment, Chuxue’s opponent was sword prince Jueyu.

If it was him, he would most probably only be able to block 10 swords from the girl.

He slowly focused. This battle was such a surprise. He had benefited a lot, exceeding what he gained from watching Jueyu challenge the last 5 shrines.

This time when he returned to the sect, if he can calm himself down and comprehend, it could cause his sword technique attainments to increase.

He counted silently in his heart. When it reached the 145th number, he came back to his senses. He heard that the sword ring was different from before. Be it the five-element spirit sword or the black broadsword in Jueyu’s hand, they were crying out.

“145th sword forced back 16 thousand feet!”

…The initial grade 7 realm, actually forcing the pretty much invincible sword prince, whose name shocked the world, to retreat by 10 miles!

At that moment, everyone was silent. Apart from the sound of the swords clashing there were no more sounds. Even the sound of a pin drop could be heard.

Even the people with the lowest cultivation here realized that the most crucial moment had arrived.

Jueyu stood still on the spot, standing still and not moving. That black sword light instantly exploded, thousands of sword shadows like that of a wave, pushing the black flood forwards. A thousand feet of space was forcefully sliced open, cracks were all over. Lines of giant serpent-like black colored cracks flowed all around.

The black flood swept up, thousands of sword shadows seem to swallow up Chuxue who was tens of feet away.

At this moment, Chuxue was provoked by the sword shadow, the anxiousness in her pupils slowly recovered. She seemed to have awakened from the enlightenment state.

However, in the next instance, her eyes opened wide, seeming to return to the 1st sword, her starting state.

The aura of the 5 spirit beasts were changing. They all slightly retracted and returned to a stable state. It was like they had merged into one, many runes and gold lines appeared between the 5 spirit beasts.

It caused Chuxue to be covered in a green glow. The wings behind her which were formed shone a five-colored spiritual light, giving one a feeling of many layers.

Chuxue’s sword also sliced out at this moment!

…five spirit sword beast merge!

The hardest to complete sword that Zong Shou taught her, one that Chuxue who hadn’t grasped was easily slashed out at this moment.

And when this sword chopped down, it seemed like the milky way had fallen. A sky full of five-colored glow, extremely eye-catching, like the entire heaven and earth, was forcefully cut open!

The front was sliced into 2 pieces without much difficulty.

Following which there was a low ‘keng’ sound. The originally stable space barrier was collapsing.

Jueyu was forced to retreat, this time he seemed like he was devoid of energy, unable to stop the backward momentum.

It was a thousand feet away before he stopped. His expression was dark and ugly, there was a chip on the black colored broadsword in his hand. There were also tens of wounds on his body.

However, Chuxue surprisingly didn’t chase him to strike.

When the wind storm calmed down and everyone looked over, they realized that Chuxue was standing on her original spot, panting profusely, her face was ashen white.

The five spirit god beasts behind her looked listless, shriveled up and devoid of energy.

…She was out of energy! In the end, the girl still lost.

When such a thought rose, only then did the people shockingly realize that along with that sword, Chuxue and Jueyu had fought for 146 rounds!

She had a pretty much one-sided advantage for 146 swords, forcing him back 17 thousand feet. Even that final sword caused Jueyu to be at a never before seen disadvantage.

In the end, she lost only because she was out of energy and was unable to continue!

If Chuxue’s cultivation was a little higher if she was also grade 8, what would the outcome be?

Could she defeat sword prince Jueyu?

The ten thousand people here were mostly pumped up. A portion of the experts were thinking back closely to that last sword in their minds.

…So strong! It wasn’t as ethereal as the first one but it pretty much merged all the 5 types of god beast sword intent into one.

Causing the strength of that sword to climb into the 9th grade, to slice open the great extinction sword and force him back!

Although the girl had lost, it was honorable!

With just the starting and final swords, under the skies, she would have a bright future!

Outside of the 6 pinnacle swords, there would probably need to be one more person! The cloud world would have yet another rising star.

Chuxue’s eyes were at a loss, using all her strength to resist the deep sense of exhaustion in her body.

Looking at the wounded Jueyu she was startled. A moment later did she understand what had happened just now through the pictures in her memory.

She did it. Not only did she block the 1st sword, she even counter-attacked and forced him to be unable to fight back.

She only lost at the 146th sword! She was more than 10 times stronger than the total of Yuanfei and the others added together.

Was it her? Was she dreaming?

She secretly pinched her tights which caused her to feel pain. That pain was real so this whole thing was most probably true.

In her heart, she first felt a little regret and pity that she didn’t grab the chance to defeat Jueyu.

Following which emotions surged in her heart. This was sword prince Jueyu, one of the famous three pinnacle swords.

Her strength could be discussed on the same level as him?

However, she felt a sour feeling in her nose and nearly cried out. She didn’t know what kind of feeling she was having at the moment. Happiness but sad, excited but touched, disbelief, all mixed up together…
