Chapter 1424 - Pinnacle Fight
The ground shuddered in unison with the Auspicious Cloud Hall, and the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples standing along the slope scattered in panic, fleeing to avoid being caught by the raging sword aura.
With one glance back, the Asura beholds all living souls, and hell offers no return. This was the Great Asura Sword's true essence.
When Liu Wuxie's sword fell, an invisible wave of power rippled out in all directions. The Undying Sword Intent surged like a swirling nebula, coiling tightly around Pei Hong. Metallic clashes rang out one after another, merging into a boundless tide of sound that swept across the sky.
Hua Feiyu lifted his hand and waved, dispersing all of the oncoming shockwaves as if they were nothing.
With a deafening rumble, the turbulent current in the sky exploded outward, and Pei Hong was blasted away from the battlefield, forced to revert to his human form. Blood stained the sky red.
Liu Wuxie clearly held the upper hand in their previous exchange.
When Pei Hong crashed down, he still managed to land steadily, but blood trickled from the corner of his lips. His face was frighteningly pale, but his life was not in immediate danger.
Liu Wuxie's final sword had nearly shattered his sword-bone; if that bone had broken, he would have become a cripple who could never wield a sword again.
Liu Wuxie stood straight on the ground, and aside from a faint pallor, he appeared unharmed. The Quasi-Immortal Runes had already reforged his internal organs, and his physique had long reached a monstrous level.
Even so, if he had not broken through to the Void Realm beforehand, dealing with Pei Hong would have been far more troublesome.
"Thank you for the match," Liu Wuxie said, cupping both hands together.
Even after winning, he showed not the slightest hint of arrogance. Pei Hong had only fallen short in his comprehension of the sword, and given more time, his sword dao would certainly advance by leaps and bounds.
