Chapter 1423 - Contest of Sword Arts
Just relying on sword intent alone, Pei Hong could kill ordinary cultivators at the Void Realm, genuinely living up to his title as the Sword Maniac. That was what everyone thought as they watched, their faces turning pale even before he unleashed the God-Slaughtering Sword.
The upper echelons of the Heavenly Dragon Sect all wore tense expressions, and none of them could say for sure whether Liu Wuxie would be able to withstand Pei Hong's onslaught.
As Pei Hong's sword intent continued to rise, the sword cloud above seemed ready to crash down at any moment, and those at the lower levels of the Void Realm felt an oppressive weight bearing down on them.
As for ordinary cultivators at the Primal Origin Realm, they had already retreated far into the distance, not daring to come within ten thousand meters of the fight.
Chi Heng glanced at Hua Feiyu, who nodded slightly. Chi Heng immediately began to gather his strength, prepared to intervene without hesitation the instant Liu Wuxie's life was in danger.
Sun Xiao also watched with mounting anxiety, trying his best to communicate with the artifact spirit in his sword to provide as much aid to Liu Wuxie as he could.
Meanwhile, Liu Wuxie's sword intent climbed at a much slower pace, and it appeared far less terrifying than Pei Hong's overwhelming aura.
"Liu Wuxie's sword intent doesn't seem weak, but it's a pity that his cultivation is lower than Pei Hong's. Otherwise, the victor of this fight would be uncertain," discussed the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples among themselves.
In their hearts, they already felt that fighting Pei Hong to a draw would be a great victory for Liu Wuxie.
After all, Liu Wuxie had just made a breakthrough into the Void Realm, whereas Pei Hong had long been a veteran in that realm. Not to mention, Pei Hong was much older than Liu Wuxie. Few believed this was a fair duel.
Liu Wuxie activated Ghost Eye and dared not show the slightest carelessness. His senior brother had already warned him, via voice transmission, that Pei Hong was not as simple as he appeared.
For years, while pursuing sword dao, Pei Hong had almost severed all worldly ties and poured his entire heart into the sword alone.
