C836 Taking advantage of the opportunity to hone his skills
In just a few breaths of time, Qiu Ran and Chen Xiao had already exchanged over a dozen rounds. And the more they fought, the more shocked he became by Chen Xiao's strength.
It was clear that Chen Xiao's strength was still on par with his at the beginning, but now, Qiu Ran had been completely suppressed by him. In the midst of battle, Chen Xiao actually started to increase his strength bit by bit.
How was this possible? Unless a person used some sort of secret technique to improve their strength, how could they continue to improve in battle? Unless... That person had achieved a breakthrough, and when he faced his opponent, he was only using his opponent as a whetstone to further stabilize his strength.
This thought made Qiu Ran even more shocked. He actually became Chen Xiao's whetstone? He, a dignified Destructive Stage expert, was actually using a five star Martial God as a whetstone? In these years, just thinking about it made Qiu Ran unable to accept it! He's an expert of the Destructive Stage, not a roadside [1]!
"Bastard, watch this!" Under his rage, Qiu Ran's attack became even stronger, more spirit energy was channeled into the sword, and he slashed at Chen Xiao again. When the sword slashed out halfway, it instantly turned into a dozen or so sword images, sealing off the left and right side of Chen Xiao, as though it was not planning on giving him any space to dodge! At the same time, Chen Xiao clearly felt an invisible barrier blocking him behind.
Qiu Ran was planning to kill him with a single slash, right?
However, Qiu Ran's idea was too simple. After battling with Qiu Ran for so long, Chen Xiao's control of the Chaotic Force in his body had clearly improved. Without the slightest hint of fear, he decisively channeled the power of chaos into the Red Cloud Sword.
As the Chaotic Force entered the Red Cloud Sword, the entire body of the Red Cloud Sword immediately became distorted. It was not that the Red Cloud Sword had changed, but the space around it had been affected by the Red Cloud Sword and started to distort.
"Watch and try my sword." The Red Cloud Sword welcomed Qiu Ran's longsword once again, and when the Zephyr Blade Technique was activated, it also produced a dozen or so sword images. Chen Xiao's speed of attack was already equal to Qiu Ran's! This time, the Red Cloud Sword and the longsword clashed once again …
"Clank!" Another clear sound of them all colliding rang out. However, this sound was clearly clearer than the previous one. And right after that sound rang, Qiu Ran was stunned — After that one strike, his longsword had actually been broken into two pieces!
At this moment, Qiu Ran was stunned. Qiu Ran had always been very clear about the quality of his sword. Forget about everything else, just the fact that the sword could compete with the Red Cloud Sword for so long was enough to show that its grade was not low.
However, that was the only way to use a longsword.
What kind of existence was the Red Cloud Sword? After fusing the power of annihilation and absorbing the power of chaos, let alone the entire Three Realms, even outside of the Three Realms, weapons that could do this were extremely rare!
But now, Chen Xiao had even injected the power of chaos into the Red Cloud Sword, causing space to distort.
Thus, it was not an accident that the sword was cut in half.
Qiu Ran was stunned, but Chen Xiao was not. After cutting the sword, Chen Xiao did not stop at all as the Red Cloud Sword slashed at Qiu Ran once again.
This time, Qiu Ran finally reacted. Gathering his energy in his left hand, he struck out with his palm towards the Red Cloud Sword, intending to slap it away.
However, Chen Xiao was waiting for Qiu Ran's palm strike.
Seeing that Qiu Ran had made his move, Chen Xiao also struck out with his left palm. The spirit energy gathered in the center of his palm, exploded with a golden radiance, and then struck towards Qiu Ran's chest!
Heaven Shrouding Soul Art, Soul Suppressing Pagoda!
The golden light turned into the image of a nine-storey pagoda, and in a blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Qiu Ran's chest …
With a "Peng" sound, Qiu Ran was sent flying backwards! Sent flying by a single palm from Chen Xiao!
Qiu Ran, who was sent flying backwards, felt discomfort in his chest, but Chen Xiao did not plan to give him a chance to recover. Carrying the Red Cloud Sword, he chased after him. He didn't even take his left hand's palm back. Instead, he turned his palm into a finger and launched another attack.
Absolute Soul Finger, three fingers united!
He no longer held back as Chen Xiao finally revealed his true strength! The giant finger appeared out of nowhere and pointed towards Qiu Ran's chest with an energy that caused one's heart to palpitate.
As long as this move hit Qiu Ran, he was confident that he could kill it!
However, just as Chen Xiao pointed out his finger, a figure suddenly appeared above his head. It was Qiu Hao!
Seeing his own brother in danger, how could Qiu Hao sit still?
Qiu Hao was still holding onto Xiao Miao, the long sword in his right hand thrusted straight towards Chen Xiao's head. He finally understood that Chen Xiao's strength was not something they could handle easily. They wanted to cripple him, so they might as well just kill him.
It was better to get rid of Chen Xiao than get killed by him!
Qiu Hao's sword was extremely fast! When Chen Xiao was fighting with Qiu Ran, he kept a small portion of his attention on Qiu Hao. When attacked, Chen Xiao had already prepared to deal with it!0
The sword pierced over, Chen Xiao did not dodge, and directly struck the sword. This action caused Qiu Hao to be stunned. He did not know what Chen Xiao was thinking.
However, the following change to Chen Xiao caused Qiu Hao to widen his eyes …
Just as the longsword was about to strike Chen Xiao, his body suddenly became transparent, and then, the longsword passed through Chen Xiao's body. However, Chen Xiao did not look like he was hurt at all, and instead, the Red Cloud Sword slashed at Qiu Hao.
A sense of danger instantly attacked Qiu Hao. Seeing that the Red Cloud Sword was already right in front of him, Qiu Hao withdrew his hand in time and barely dodged Chen Xiao's attack. But just after he retreated backwards, Chen Xiao's body returned to normal and became more corporeal.
What was going on? What happened to this brat just now?
Qiu Hao's expression became serious. The change that happened to Chen Xiao just now was something he had never experienced before. The long sword pierced through his body without any resistance. Was this really possible?
Seeing that Qiu Hao was retreating, Chen Xiao did not plan to let him land so easily. His body suddenly rushed forward, chasing after Qiu Hao, and yet again aimed at his fatal points!
But how could Qiu Hao just allow Chen Xiao to attack? Seeing the Red Cloud Sword coming over, he raised his long sword and met Chen Xiao's attack head on. The clashing of weapons could be heard again. Only, this time, Chen Xiao and Qiu Hao had only fought for a few rounds, and had no choice but to stop. But the reason made him frown.
"Brat, stop obediently. Otherwise, I will kill all of you right now!" Qiu Ran's voice sounded, and the threat in his words caused Chen Xiao to have no choice but to stop.
To have Qiu Ran attack his subordinates, no one could block his attack!
This was troublesome.
Chen Xiao realized that things were not going well …
