Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

"can."

Ximen Sword Saint nodded briefly.

now.

Wu Nian sat cross-legged on the ground, and his aura began to recover rapidly.

"Wu Nian, I don't think this battle is necessary, do I?"

Master Yuxu approached Wunian and offered some words of advice.

Wu Nian ignored these words and simply sat cross-legged on the ground, focusing on his cultivation.

Jiufeng hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed to Ximen Jiansheng:
"Juniors have met seniors."

Ximen Jiansheng did not nod, but simply stared at Jiufeng.

Jiufeng took a deep breath. At this moment, she realized how much courage it took to stand in front of Ximen Jiansheng. The aura emanating from him was as deep as the sea, so oppressive that she felt as if she didn't even have the courage to speak.

"This must be the test for Sword Saint Ximen."

Daoist Dongxu looked at Jiufeng with considerable concern: "Only those who can withstand the Sword Saint's aura can speak in his presence. I wonder if Sister Jiufeng can do that."

Chen Ye was quite surprised to sense the aura emanating from the Sword Saint.

"This should also be considered an application of spirituality, but I didn't expect it to create such a strong sense of pressure, as if I had to collapse at any moment."

It means to lie down, not kneel down.

As a sword saint, he has always been self-disciplined and would never resort to such dirty and despicable means to force anyone who comes before him to kneel.

But if you can't even withstand this aura, then it's better to lie down!
This is the path that belongs to Ximen Sword Saint.

Anyone who can stand before him must undergo this incredibly terrifying aura to be cleansed and thoroughly purified before they are qualified to speak in front of the Sword Saint.

At this moment, Jiufeng's body radiated a lotus-like Dharma image, forcefully resisting the aura of Ximen Sword Saint, and she cupped her hands and said:

"Sword Saint, could our battle be a peaceful sparring match, ending when we've reached our limit?"

Faced with this question, Ximen Jiansheng did not remain silent, but coldly replied:
"If you can block one sword, you can leave."

At this moment, when Ximen Jiansheng uttered these words, his entire aura was amplified.

at this time.

Jiufeng finally couldn't hold on any longer and staggered back several steps, revealing a solemn expression:
"Ximen Sword Saint is one of the Ten Great Sword Saints, with incredibly strong strength. It's already quite impressive that Wunian can block one of his swords."

Master Yuxu couldn't help but glance at Wunian, who was still meditating.

at this time,

Wu Nian remained focused on meditation, completely unaware of the passage of time.

He entered a meditative state, and at the same time, Wu Nian also diverted a portion of his mind to sense the realm that Ximen Sword Saint was in.

The more Wu Nian sensed it, the more he felt that his battle with Ximen Sword Saint was likely to be very risky.

after all.

Resisting Demon Seventeen's sword strike also took a toll on Wu Nian's body.

But at that moment, Wan Yi stepped forward and said:

"Sword Saint Ximen, how about I become your opponent and we exchange a round? What do you say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Nian looked surprised and said in a serious tone:
"Wan Yi, with your cultivation level, you are not his match for now."

Wan Yi shook his head.

Subsequently,

He released his aura, which instantly expanded to a radius of several miles. Countless golden butterflies gathered on Wan Yi's body, transforming into an immortal dragon that condensed there.

“Wu Nian…” Wan Yi said, “The energy you expended during your battle with Demon Seventeen will probably be difficult to fully recover today, won’t it?”

Faced with Wan Yi's words, Wu Nian remained silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly:
"It is indeed impossible to fully recover today."

At this moment, Ximen Jiansheng's gaze truly fell upon Wan Yi, revealing a thoughtful expression.

After a while.

Ximen Jiansheng nodded and said, "You can be my opponent."

At this moment, the golden dragon dharma image that Wan Yi had condensed blocked his view like a city wall.

Those familiar with Wan Yi, such as Jiu Feng and Yu Xu Dao Ren, were all taken aback.

"It's actually the Golden Dragon City Wall? When did Wan Yi already comprehend this level of skill?"

Daoist Dongxu looked on in utter surprise, glancing in the direction where Wan Yi was:

"It seems that Wan Yi is a very deep-hidden kid, not as simple as we thought!"

Master Yuxu grinned and said, "What's so strange about that? That kid is Wan Yi. I wouldn't be surprised by anything he does."

"On the contrary, it would be strange if Wan Yi didn't have such powerful abilities!"

Wu Nian snapped out of his meditative state.

His gaze involuntarily turned towards where Wan Yi was.

After a moment, Wu Nian shook his head and said:

"Wan Yi, this is my own battle, let me do it myself."

Wan Yi shook his head and said, "After you killed Demon Seventeen, you have already used up some of your trump cards. Now is not the time for you to fight."

"On the contrary, this battle should have started because of me, but you took the blame yourself. I owe you that."

"But Sword Saint Ximen wants to find a suitable opponent to spar with."

"In your current state, you are probably lacking in many aspects to fight against Sword Saint Ximen."

At this point, Wan Yi turned to look at Ximen Jiansheng and grinned:
"Fighting a disabled version of a genius is definitely not as valuable as fighting a full-fledged genius. Don't you think so?"

Ximen Jiansheng remained silent for a moment, then nodded:

“Although his potential is higher than yours, your Golden Dragon Dharma Form is very interesting and you are indeed qualified to be my opponent.”

"If you question or stand in his way..."

"Then, I am your opponent today."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura emanated from Ximen Jiansheng, pressing down on Wan Yi.

The next second, Wan Yi suddenly felt a powerful sense of pressure descend upon him.

"Goodness, this is really not easy!"

Daoist Yuxu glanced at Wan Yi, his eyes filled with worry:

"Although Wan Yi is now at full strength, his Dharma form is mainly creative in nature, which is not very helpful in actual combat. I don't know if Wan Yi can block Ximen Sword Saint's sword."

Hearing this, Chen Ye asked with some confusion:

"Is it really that difficult to block just one sword strike?"

Master Yuxu shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate this one sword strike. That was the sword saint Ximen. 'One sword comes from the west, a celestial being descends from the heavens.' That is his ultimate move. Just one sword strike. Under the whole heaven, in the entire Sky City, there are not many beings who can withstand it!"

"If we can't stop them, then we're doomed!"

"Anyone who thinks they can withstand a sword strike from Ximen Jiansheng, anyone who thinks they are not afraid of death, can go and try."

At this point, Daoist Yuxu glanced at Wan Yi with slight surprise:
"That kid Wan Yi actually chose to confront Sword Saint Ximen head-on. This isn't like him at all!"

Perhaps it was a mutual appreciation for Wu Nian... Chen Ye thought to himself.

Moreover, Wan Yi also harbored a deep longing for these powerful individuals.

Perhaps it can block a blow from Ximen Sword Saint.

At least.

What is certain now is that Wan Yi has not yet used all his trump cards, but Wu Nian's sword strike has already revealed his strength.

It was probably the power of that one sword strike that caught the attention of Sword Saint Ximen.

Unfortunately, since using that sword strike, Wu Nian's cultivation level has been somewhat depleted, and it will take some time to recover.

Otherwise, it could cause even greater harm to Wunian.

Taking into account many factors...

Wan Yi still chose to take the initiative and help Wu Nian withstand this most difficult challenge.

"Let's start now."

Ximen Sword Saint seemed unwilling to wait any longer.

The 'intention' emanating from him continued to gather, creating a massive torrent of potential energy that surged towards Wan Yi in front of him.

However, the golden dragon city wall that Wan Yi had condensed was vast and dazzling, standing horizontally in front of their eyes, protecting the city.

It seems indestructible!

At this moment, the two different streams of Dharma began to collide with each other!

It burst into brilliant sparks!

"This is a battle of wits between two people!"

Upon seeing this, Daoist Yuxu was extremely surprised: "I never expected that Sword Saint Ximen would be interested in the dueling tournament!"

"I must say, his Dharma form is indeed superior to mine."

Wu Nian gazed at the golden dragon city wall that Wan Yi had unleashed, nodded slightly, and expressed his approval.

This golden dragon city wall looks extremely thick and heavy; it cannot be built casually or simply, but rather possesses a very solid set of laws.

"That's strange. I've never seen Wan Yi perform such a Dharma form before. Could it be that he recently comprehended it?"

Daoist Dongxu revealed a strange expression: "I have watched Wan Yi's battle in the True Dragon Trial before, how come it is completely different from this one?"

Jade Void Daoist rolled his eyes at Eastern Ox Daoist and shook his head, saying:
"Don't you think about how long it's been since that True Dragon Trial? With Wan Yi's growth rate, reaching this level is almost a certainty. What's more, he will continue to improve, and the speed of his improvement will far exceed the expectations of us old guys."

"To reach this level is beyond our expectations."

"I wonder if it's related to Wunian and that young friend..."

In fact, the Golden Dragon City Wall that Wan Yi is currently displaying is the result of his observation of Chen Ye's Red Sun Dharma Image. He sensed the solidity of this Dharma Image and the specific material law from which it originated. He then condensed his spiritual law to the maximum extent, thus giving birth to material law. In this way, the Golden Dragon City Wall will be completely formed. The flying light particles can forge a protective city wall with a single thought, making it extremely powerful.

"The Dharma form here has many similarities to my Red Sun Matter Dharma. As expected of Wan Yi, these top geniuses' comprehension of this field has reached a terrifying level. They were able to use my core after just one glance. It is indeed more powerful than I imagined!"

At this point, Chen Ye's understanding and application of the Dharma Form had reached a considerable level. After all, he had written all the laws of the Holy Mountain into the deduction space, making his comprehension and perception of the Dharma Form much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, Chen Ye is now able to maintain a high level of awareness when perceiving these issues, thus finding answers to each problem.

This is also one of the benefits of doing more simulations.

The more you deduce, the closer you get to the answer and the essence of things.

Once you've learned this deduction technique, you'll no longer have to worry about not being able to grasp the essence of things.

Chen Ye's current understanding of Dharma Form is not particularly high, but it is not low either, it is at a medium level. Moreover, the material Dharma possessed by the Red Sun Dharma Form directly points to the core of Dharma Form, so Chen Ye's progress will be very fast.

He noticed that Ximen Sword Saint was not using his Dharma form at all, but instead using a kind of 'intention' power, like Conqueror's Haki or similar mental pressure, directly pressing down on Wan Yi.

However, since the Dharma form is originally a part of the spiritual intent, in the process of fighting, it is a collision between intents.

Given the intensity of the battle, it's hard to say who will win.

"It seems your Dharma form is indeed very interesting; it can even completely block my will."

Ximen Sword Saint used his own 'intention' to suppress Wan Yi for a period of time, and found that the thickness of this golden dragon city wall was beyond his imagination. He couldn't help but nod in approval.

"It's certainly not a mistake for our opponent to have found you today."

"Next..."

"I will do my best to unleash this sword, and I hope your city walls can withstand it."

Ximen Sword Saint coldly uttered these words.

next second.

The 'intention' within him began to rapidly transform into a vortex, converging around the figure of Ximen Sword Saint, forming a swallowing eye that resembled an abyss. The immense potential energy, gathered together, was like a raging river, directly rushing towards the direction of the dam, ready to collapse!

"Is it finally here?"

Wan Yi's pupils began to contract at this moment. He could feel that Ximen Jiansheng's sword strike was completely different from Wu Nian's sword strike!
Stronger, more ruthless, and even more impossible to solve...

and so.

All Wan Yi can do now is pour all his spiritual energy into the Golden Dragon River.

Just then, a voice reached Wan Yi's ears:
"Remember, materialized radiance takes the form of particles and waves; it is a materialized law of light. You should know how to do it!"

That voice was Chen Ye's reminder! (End of Chapter)
