"How could I let you gather strength?"
The eunuch, with an icy expression, conjured a cruel smile and furiously struck down with his palm, "It's already difficult for ordinary sect prodigies to fight across one minor realm when facing a loose cultivator, let alone you, who, after surpassing three small realms, still faced the three of us simultaneously. You should be proud."
"Foolish."
However, at that moment, he saw Xu Yuan open his eyes, which were cold and piercing, with blue electric light flitting between them, as if he were looking at a dead man.
A sense of crisis unfoundedly emerged in the eunuch's heart.
Could it be another illusion technique?
His pupils shrank, but he had already checked beforehand with techniques, and this person in front of him should indeed be real.
No, he must be trying to bluff him.
As this thought flashed through his mind.
The next moment, he understood the answer.
The Xu Yuan before him was not any sort of illusory body, nor was he accumulating any major move.
"Throw You Rem."
Xu Yuan revealed a cold smile, and immediately behind him emerged a lithe figure merging into his form. Together, they grasped the Thunderfire Sword and slashed down furiously.
As a definition of ultimate speed, the Thunder Sword Skills, notably "Throw You Rem", is distinct from other Thunder Methods.
Other Thunder Methods aim to amass power to summon lightning for tremendous strength, but this one seeks only speed, for in the martial world, "nothing is more formidable than rapid action."
Thus, it requires no charging.
Xu Yuan stood still only to create an illusion that he was using Jade Foot Sword Qi to cover himself while preparing a major strike.
Seeing him seemingly gather strength on the spot, the two of them indeed fell for it.
Understanding this, the leader of the eunuchs couldn't help but regret, wishing he hadn't charged so eagerly if he had known this.
He had underestimated Xu Yuan, mistaking him for those sect prodigies who hadn't been through much hardship, the kind that proceed in an orthodox manner, using long-range attacks to disturb the enemy and then unleashing a major strike to kill.
However, no matter how much he regretted, now he had to face Xu Yuan alone.
The eunuch leader's palms glowed with spiritual light, attempting to catch the Thunder Blade with his bare hands.
Sword Madman also noticed this, but his speed was nothing compared to the eunuch leader who specialized in body techniques and comprehending the Cloud Dao, so he could only be anxious.
The night was pitch-dark with occasional lightning in the high skies.
Prince stood within the house, looking at the intersecting four streams of Liu Guang above, his fists clenched tightly together.
Of course, there were more cultivators in the imperial city,
but three Core Formation Stage at Great Perfection cultivators along with several other Core Formation cultivators were already the most significant force he could muster at the moment.
If even they could not stop these two, his dominance was indeed gone.
He did not regret attacking Liu Ruoxue; he only regretted why he hadn't been more cautious initially, directly capturing her as well.
Outside, Liu Ruoxue, who was entangling many Foundation Establishment cultivators and Core Formation cultivators, also looked up at the fierce battle above, feeling a bit dazed.
Xu Yuan had unexpectedly surpassed her without her realizing.
Only at this moment did she clearly realize this fact for the first time. Continue reading at empire
Recalling their first encounter, she hadn't even used her full strength and had forced Xu Yuan to exhaust all his moves and even reveal his last card, eventually leading to a mutual downfall.
And now, how much time had passed?
Had he already surpassed her?
Liu Ruoxue's current strength was at the mid-stage of Core Formation, and though she might seem superior to Xu Yuan by rank, if it came to combat effectiveness, her strength was barely comparable to a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Core Formation Stage.
"No... If this continues, not to mention protecting him from Lin Qingque and the others, it might turn out that I become a hindrance instead,"
Liu Ruoxue's eyes emitted a cold light.
She needed to become stronger, much stronger!
Only then would she have enough strength to "protect" him, to ensure they never parted!
Just as Liu Ruoxue made her resolve, a mysterious force, as if sensing something, gradually infused into her body from the heaven and earth.
At the same time, the many doubts about the Sword Dao that had perplexed her for a long time in her mind were all resolved.
"This is...?"
Liu Ruoxue immediately noticed the change, and as a cultivator, her control over her body was extremely high, naturally enabling her to react swiftly.
A state of sudden enlightenment?
She was somewhat surprised. Cultivators cherish the harmony with nature and resonance with the natural world, occasionally entering a state of spiritual enlightenment. In this state, a cultivator's mind is free of distractions, and their understanding of cultivation receives a significant boost.
But she quickly dismissed this idea. If she were in a state of sudden enlightenment, then she wouldn't have such thoughts.
Yet what Liu Ruoxue could sense was that her body felt very warm, just like the feeling inside her in the Rear Garden previously when "Great" Xu Yuan had been within her.
If that was the case, then it was harmless.
As she thought about it, Liu Ruoxue bizarrely came up with an extremely absurd idea.
Perhaps such a change came about because she had refined the essence in her lower abdomen through her practice.
Her many thoughts quickly converged, and her focus returned to the battle at hand. Her wrist flicked slightly, and the originally tranquil sword light suddenly brightened, scattering like a curtain of water.
