Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

"Die!"

Qin Hui's tone was icy. Before the word was even out, his long sword was already in motion.

SWISH!

His body moved like a startled swan goose as his long sword pierced the Void, aiming straight for Ling Fei.

The thrust was like a white rainbow piercing the sun, its momentum overwhelming.

It was so fast one couldn't even blink. A flash of light from the blade was accompanied by sharp Sword Qi.

An aura locked onto Ling Fei.

This wasn't Sword Momentum, but Innate Momentum.

Ling Fei felt completely locked on by Qin Hui. A mysterious chill ran down his spine; it seemed he had no path of retreat, only the option to fight.

Because if he retreated, his opponent would surely deliver a thunderous strike.

It would be a fatal blow.

"Then let me witness this Innate Might!" Ling Fei's gaze hardened. He didn't retreat. Instead, he held his long sword and gathered his Sword Momentum.

"My body is like a dragon, my momentum can shatter the heavens! My sword is sharp, it can cut gold and crack stone!"

Ling Fei muttered to himself.

Two types of Momentum of Martial Arts were gathering.

The True Dragon Momentum made his Blood Qi surge, as if possessing heaven-shaking power.

The sharp Sword Momentum could perfectly unleash this heaven-shaking power.

It was, one could say, a perfect combination.

Now, with the two momentums combined, Ling Fei's aura was truly formidable, already comparable to an Innate Realm Cultivator.

Before the words had even faded, a glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes, and his long sword was already striking out to meet Qin Hui's.

CLANG!

The sword flashed, moving with extreme speed, precisely parrying Qin Hui's strike.

This time, Ling Fei's strike could be said to be an all-out effort. His thrust was like a True Dragon lashing out, accompanied by Cold Chi Sword Energy.

The Cold Chi Sword Energy was sharp and carried a freezing momentum. The moment it touched Qin Hui's long sword, the Cold Qi spread out and sealed Qin Hui's Sword Qi in ice.

Not only that, but as the Cold Qi spread, ice crystals began to form on the blade of Qin Hui's long sword.

Then, a surge of True Dragon Power took the opportunity to strike.

The power was astonishing, clearly exceeding 20,000 jin.

Under this blow, Qin Hui's Sword Momentum was knocked askew once again.

At the same time, a sharp Sword Momentum carrying immense force crashed into him.

This enormous force made Qin Hui's wrist tremble, and his expression changed instantly.

'What powerful Sword Momentum, what astonishing power! That Cold Qi can actually seal my Sword Qi in ice?' Qin Hui's face was filled with shock.

He was, after all, an Innate Realm expert. The might of his sword contained Innate Momentum.

Yet now, it had been broken by a mere Body Tempering Realm Cultivator.

Moreover, ice crystals were forming on his long sword.

The Cold Dao Sword Qi raged, threatening to completely encase his long sword in ice.

'He's actually about to gain the upper hand!'

'I can't meet him head-on!' A glint flashed in Qin Hui's eyes, and he immediately used the force of the impact to retreat explosively.

Then, he circulated his True Qi into the blade, repelling the raging Cold Dao Sword Qi.

HUM!

The ice crystals sealing his long sword immediately cracked and fell away.

It wasn't that Ling Fei's Cold Chi Sword Energy wasn't strong.

Rather, only a small portion of the Sword Qi had actually struck Qin Hui's sword.

Once Qin Hui retreated, the two swords were no longer in contact, cutting off the continuous stream of Cold Chi Sword Energy.

Thus, the residual Cold Chi Sword Energy on Qin Hui's sword was naturally no match for his own vast Sword Qi.

Even so, it was enough to make Qin Hui feel a sense of dread.

'The power I unleashed isn't any weaker than his,' Ling Fei thought as he saw Qin Hui retreat.

'I should press my advantage!' Ling Fei's gaze shifted as he locked onto his target. With a push of his foot, he shot forward.

Lingyun Sword Technique—Parting the Clouds!

A low voice sounded. Ling Fei's right hand danced, his long sword like a streak of light across the sky as he attacked Qin Hui.

This horizontal sweep sent a blade of light across the Void, aiming to slice Qin Hui in two at the waist.

"Your Sword Momentum is strong, but you're still just in the Body Tempering Realm. How could you possibly contend with the Innate Realm?"

Seeing Ling Fei press his attack, Qin Hui's expression turned grim.

"Wind Shadow Step!" A low voice was heard. His body became like the wind, like a shadow. With a WHOOSH, he shot up from the ground.

SWISH!

At that moment, Ling Fei's long sword swept across.

However, Qin Hui's body had already shot eight meters into the air, deftly dodging the blow.

Ling Fei's sword only managed to slice through an afterimage.

The next moment, Qin Hui landed to Ling Fei's right.

'Such a profound Body Technique!' Seeing Qin Hui evade his strike like a phantom, Ling Fei's brow furrowed slightly.

An ordinary person would never have been able to dodge that strike.

'The Innate Realm is truly something else.' Ling Fei was beginning to get a preliminary understanding of the Innate Realm.

"Next, I'll show you the true strength of the Innate Realm," Qin Hui said in a deep voice, his gaze turning cold as he landed.

Then, the long sword in his hand moved.

Thousand Shadows Sword!

As the low voice sounded, Qin Hui's body flickered, and he lunged toward Ling Fei.

But this time, as he brandished his sword, the light from the blade flickered, and three phantoms of light immediately appeared.

At a glance, it looked as if three people were attacking at once, striking at Ling Fei from the left, right, and center.

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH!

The sword lights slashed out: one aiming for his heart, one to cut him at the waist, and one stabbing toward his torso!

Three strikes, each one sharp and vicious. They were executed in one smooth motion, intended to be Ling Fei's doom!

Each strike carried a formidable momentum and was incredibly fast.

They were so fast that a Body Tempering Realm Cultivator would have no time to react.

'So fast!' A glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes. Every nerve in his body tensed as his Heart Spirit immediately reached out to perceive the attack.

'Three strikes... all of them are real!'

With just a moment of perception, Ling Fei discovered that all three strikes were real.

It was just that the combination of Qin Hui's Body Technique and Swordsmanship had pushed his speed to the absolute limit.

Lingyun Sword Technique—Flowing Clouds and Flowing Water!

Instantly, Ling Fei's long sword danced, moving like flowing clouds and flowing water, arcing through the Void to block the three strikes.

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG!

His blade moved like flowing water across the sky, yet it precisely struck all three of Qin Hui's swords.

His speed was also extremely fast.

The degree of precision was beyond that of a Body Tempering Realm Cultivator.

This was all because Ling Fei's Soul Power had grown stronger after he comprehended the "True Dragon Visualization Image."

This had elevated his Perception Power and Judgment beyond that of an ordinary person, allowing him to reach the Realm of Microcosm.

'This Ling Fei actually managed to block my Thousand Shadows Three Swords?' Surprise showed in Qin Hui's eyes.

"However, let's see how you handle my Thousand Shadow Nine Swords!"

A glint flashed in Qin Hui's eyes, and his Sword Momentum changed.

This time, a mysterious rhythmic aura began to emanate from him.

Within the mountain valley, wind and mist suddenly stirred, and a biting Cold Qi assaulted the senses.

An aura seemed to be drawn in by Qin Hui, as if he himself was about to merge with it.

"The Innate Realm allows for Perception into the Subtle, one can draw upon the fluctuations of heaven and earth. My Body Technique has now reached the state of Unity of Heaven and Man. Dealing with you will be a simple matter!" Qin Hui's gaze hardened. Then, his body, like a floating duckweed, actually rose with the wind. At that exact moment, his sword moved.

The man moved with the wind, leaving no trace.

The sword moved with the man, striking unexpectedly!

SWISH, SWISH!

Qin Hui attacked, and in a single instant, he thrust out nine times.

'So fast!' As Qin Hui attacked, Ling Fei's brows knitted tightly, and he quickly raised his sword to meet the assault.

But as he did, he found himself unable to track the trajectory of Qin Hui's Swordsmanship.

This made Ling Fei's heart sink.

Being unable to track the opponent's sword trajectory meant that he couldn't accurately defend against the attack.

In that case, he would be completely on the defensive.

Ling Fei used his Heart Spirit Sensing, trying his best to capture the sword's trajectory and defend against it.

By now, he could also be considered to have Perception into the Subtle.

But it was clear he was not yet as precise as someone in the Innate Realm.

After all, his Perception Power had not yet reached the stage of Unity of Heaven and Man.

CLANG, CLANG!

Flashes of sword light flickered, and the long swords clashed with crisp sounds.

Fast! Fast! Too fast!

Qin Hui's sword was incomparably fast. Ling Fei's vision was filled with flickering sword shadows, forcing him to defend with all his might.

At the same time, his Step Technique was constantly changing as he tried his best to fend off the fierce long sword.

Inside the glacial valley, two figures crisscrossed, clashing constantly. The cold mist was scattered by Sword Qi, and gusts of frigid wind howled, accompanied by the whistle of sword energy.

Ling Fei was forced back again and again, completely at a disadvantage.

It was only because of his Perception into the Subtle that he hadn't already been cut down by Qin Hui's sword.

SWISH!

A sword flashed. Ling Fei twisted his body to the side, but he was still half a step too slow. The Sword Qi had opened a gash on his left arm.

Blood flowed down!

DRIP!

The blood dripped, staining the cracked ice on the ground red.

"Heh, so what if your power is comparable to the Innate Realm? Your Cultivation has not reached the stage of Unity of Heaven and Man. Today, I will definitely kill you."

Qin Hui grinned.

After the recent exchange, he already understood that this youth's power was absolutely comparable to his own.

However, power was merely the foundation. The key to defeating an enemy lay in one's comprehension of the world and application of Martial Arts.

Therefore, Qin Hui no longer confronted Ling Fei head-on, instead relying on his comprehension of Martial Arts to completely suppress him.

Thousand Shadow Nine Swords!

Qin Hui attacked relentlessly. He moved with the wind, his Swordsmanship both sharp and bizarre.

'If this goes on, my defeat is certain!' As the sword light slashed toward him, Ling Fei's brows locked tightly together.

At this moment, he was completely at a disadvantage, constantly forced into hurried responses, and even the aura within his body was becoming chaotic.

A single careless mistake and he would be slain by Qin Hui.

SWISH, SWISH!

One strike after another.

Qin Hui's attacks became increasingly cunning.

More and more wounds appeared on Ling Fei's body.

The icy ground around him was stained red with his blood.

With overwhelming force, Qin Hui attacked aggressively, his imposing aura forcing Ling Fei back step by step.

Ling Fei's footwork began to falter, as if he had lost all composure.

He was now covered in wounds; his arms, chest, abdomen, and legs were all covered in sword marks.

Blood stained his clothes red.

The sharp Sword Qi and biting cold wind ahead made the flesh of his wounds throb with pain. He gasped for breath, looking as if he had no strength left to fight.

"Heh heh, Ling Fei? The number one genius on the Prodigy Rankings? Time to die!" Qin Hui let out a savage laugh as Ling Fei staggered back, his aura weak.

"Let me show you the killing move I just comprehended!"

As the low voice echoed, a fierce wind suddenly whipped up around Qin Hui.

"Thousand Shadows Sword, the sword moves with the wind... Tornado Kill!" the deep voice announced.

Then, a gale was seen howling around Qin Hui, his body moving with the wind.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The gale howled, spinning in the Void and forming a Qi Vortex that rushed toward Ling Fei.

At this moment, Qin Hui seemed to merge as one with the Qi Vortex. His long sword moved with the wind, and streaks of sword shadows flickered within it.

This Tornado Kill was a killing move that Qin Hui had been trying to comprehend for a long time.

Before, he was just a hair's breadth away from perfecting it and breaking through to the Innate Mid Stage Realm.

Now, after this continuous battle, his understanding of the Wind Shadow Step, the Sword Dao, and the Mystical of the Wind had deepened.

As this attack came forth, its momentum far surpassed the one he had used in his initial assassination attempt on Ling Fei.

Clearly, under the pressure of a prolonged battle, Qin Hui's comprehension of Martial Arts had also improved.
