Chapter 1186: The Change of Fate
The Clear Stream Sword Saint stepped back half a step, feeling a tightness in his chest as his blood surged upwards, and a mouthful of fresh blood almost spurted out.
Noticing the anomaly of the Clear Stream Sword Saint beside him, the Divine Dao Sword Saint immediately asked, "Clear Stream Sword Saint, what’s wrong with you...?"
"It’s nothing, indeed, I did not expect that this Xia Citizen could actually withstand my strike; it was my oversight."
The Divine Dao Sword Saint felt somewhat uneasy, although he had been the first to make a move, he clearly understood that his action was merely meant to draw Su Chengyu’s attention for the Clear Stream Sword Saint.
Their true deadly move was undoubtedly that sword strike, natural almost to the point of inevitability.
The Divine Dao Sword Saint had witnessed the Clear Stream Sword Saint’s strike before and even with prior knowledge, he did not believe he could fully withstand that strike himself.
Yet, the young man before him had done so, causing the Divine Dao Sword Saint to feel bewildered, no longer sure whether it was because of Su Chengyu’s own skills, or because of the residual strength left by Ye Qingci.
"Don’t think too much, regardless of how this guy managed to do it, no matter how much of his own skill he used, ultimately he’s at the end of his tether. You must understand one thing, with you and me joining forces, even if Ye Qingci personally took action, she wouldn’t be our match. Even if this guy could withstand the strike, the price he paid must be severe."
After all, the Clear Stream Sword Saint was an established old Sword Saint from Dongying; even though his unique move was blocked, his mindset remained quite good.
Hearing this, the Divine Dao Sword Saint also secretly steeled himself and turned his head to glance at Ye Qingci again, saying, "It looks like there are still two bolts of lightning over there."
The two heavenly lightning bolts and one Heart Demon Tribulation would not take too long to come. The key to when Ye Qingci would be able to successfully transcend the tribulation largely hinged on how long the Heart Demon Tribulation could be withstood.
