Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 212 Shadowless Step, Who Can Compete?
There, the highly concentrated flow of Tianwu power at the star point was suddenly blocked, causing it to become uncontrollable and chaotic.

The explosion was so violent that it blew a huge hole in Li Ziyou's abdomen. A large amount of Heavenly Martial Power surged out, and the uncontrolled explosion of Heavenly Martial Power impacted his internal organs. The pain caused Li Ziyou's vision to go black for a moment!
When Lin Xiufeng's knee struck Li Ziyou, the explosive force propelled him backward, sending him flying across the water like a skipping stone, crashing into the water, then flying up again, then falling back down, crashing into the water, and flying up again.

This happened seven times in a row before finally falling into the water.

With a gentle gesture, Xu Xiaoqing covered her mouth in disbelief, staring at the spot where the Free King had fallen into the water…

The Free King's ultimate skill is unmatched. It is known as the most explosive skill among the original five masters of the Dream Continent. Anyone who tries to fight it head-on will suffer a great loss.

As a result, Li Ziyou's sword pierced through Lin Xiufeng's body.

Lin Xiufeng's knee strike blew a huge hole in Li Ziyou's abdomen and sent him flying into the water!

What astonishing power this is!

Is this really Lin Xiufeng?

Could it be a woman disguised as a man?

For a moment, many spectators shared Xu Xiaoqing's thoughts—

Only someone with Tianwei's strength could have such a huge advantage over the seven masters, right?
Lin Xiufeng glanced at the sword wound on his chest. It had been filled by the Heavenly Martial Force, so he didn't feel any restriction on his movements for the time being, but the pain still persisted.

That last attack was a double blow.

'Li Ziyou's special skill is quite interesting. Are the acupoints he uses irreplaceable?'

'I think the mystery lies within the Heavenly Martial Heart. How could it instantly unleash such an extraordinary concentration of Heavenly Martial Power?'

Lin Xiufeng pondered and tried to figure it out on his own, but he had no clue.

For a moment, it was unclear whether it was the star acupoint of Li Ziyou's Heavenly Martial Heart that possessed this special effect.

'It just so happens that cultivating the Eight Stars Circulation System of Heaven, Earth, and Man requires cultivating the acupoints on the body. Next time, I'll cultivate the acupoints of Li Ziyou's Heavenly Martial Heart; then I'll have the answer.'

The people watching from the surrounding boats were excitedly discussing the battle.

Just moments ago, I thought that the Free King, one of the original five great masters, was much stronger than Lin Xiufeng.

At this moment, it was discovered that the latecomer had surpassed the former, and Lin Xiufeng's counterattack was clearly far more terrifying than the Freedom King's sword strike.

A knee strike is actually more powerful than the ultimate move of the Heavenly Martial Sword?

This is simply unbelievable and defies all reason!

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, a burst of silver light suddenly shot out from the water where Li Ziyou had fallen.

Li Ziyou laughed heartily, held his sword level, and pointed it at Lin Xiufeng.

"Good! The real Lin Xiufeng! So that was your signature move, the Shattering Star Technique, just now?"

"As expected, you live up to your reputation! With such power, I'm afraid no one would dare to fight you head-on and risk injury!"

"but--"

"If I can hit you, but you can't hit me, what will you do then?"

"Watch closely, what follows is my Shadowless Step combined with the Unrivaled Attack!"

Lin Xiufeng had originally intended to stop there, but upon hearing about the Shadowless Step, he became very interested.

Both being part of the Ten-Star Great Gale system, if this technique is powerful, it should be learned.

So he laughed and called out in response:
“In that case, I don’t want to miss the opportunity to learn from the Free King, please—”

The figure of the Free King suddenly left a trail of afterimages on the water's surface, flashing dozens of meters away.

As he moved, he burst into laughter:

"Ha! The kid speaks modestly, but he's ruthless when he fights! I like him! Let's have another drinking contest later!"

"Here they come!" Li Ziyou's movements suddenly accelerated, flashing by in a series of quick movements.

It flashed around Lin Xiufeng, moving left, right, forward, and backward, making it impossible to grasp the pattern of its movement.

To be honest, Li Ziyou's Shadowless Step was quite impressive; Lin Xiufeng was simply amazed.

only--

In Lin Xiufeng's eyes, Li Ziyou's movement trajectory was always predictable.

It wasn't because Li Ziyou wasn't fast enough, but because when Li Ziyou activated the Shadowless Step, the high concentration of Heavenly Martial Power in his legs and feet was too bright.

Lin Xiufeng could clearly see the glowing trajectory of Tianwuli during its movement.

As Li Ziyou once dashed past, the silver-light Heavenly Martial Sword in his hand suddenly extended explosively from the side and stabbed towards him.

Lin Xiufeng pretended to be unprepared and hurriedly moved aside, barely managing to avoid the danger.

Li Ziyou was quite surprised and found it hard to believe that he could still dodge in an instant under those circumstances.

Suddenly accelerating and bursting forth, leaving a trail of afterimages, he flashed past Lin Xiufeng from behind a second time and launched a stabbing attack.

Lin Xiufeng pretended not to know where Li Ziyou had disappeared and moved around randomly, thus avoiding the second surprise attack.

'This kid's luck is really that good?' Li Ziyou was a little annoyed. His Shadowless Step and Unrivaled Strength had failed twice in a row!

To the onlookers, however, it seemed impossible to see the Free King's Shadowless Step.

The rebel leader was also thrown into disarray and lost his composure.

Lin Xiufeng disguised himself only to observe the flow of martial energy in Li Ziyou's feet and legs when he activated the Shadowless Step.

'Strange! Normally, Heavenly Martial Power flows outward from the Heavenly Martial Heart, but Li Ziyou is doing the opposite, guiding the Heavenly Martial Power into the Heavenly Martial Heart from his feet down his legs?'

'If that's the case, why can it suddenly accelerate?'

Lin Xiufeng recalled that when Li Ziyou first launched the "Who Dares to Contend" attack, the Heavenly Martial Power that erupted from the Heavenly Martial Heart seemed to have also connected to his feet through his legs.

'Right! I initially thought he needed to infuse his legs with superhuman strength for his sprint, but now that I think about it—'

'At that moment, he merely unleashed the "Who Dares to Confront" technique; he didn't move forward. The Heavenly Martial Heart didn't need to channel power into his legs and feet!'

'The secret to Li Ziyou's Shadowless Step and his unparalleled prowess lies entirely in the abnormal upward infusion of celestial martial power into his feet!'

With a direction in mind, Lin Xiufeng's mind raced, and he pretended to always narrowly avoid Li Ziyou's Shadowless Step attacks.

I've actually been observing Li Ziyou's legs and the flow of martial arts energy in his feet.

'Or he has a second and a third Heavenly Martial Heart in each of his feet!'

'Or perhaps he channels the Heavenly Martial Power enveloping his feet back into his body, passing through the Heavenly Martial Heart, and simultaneously drawing it out from there, creating an extraordinary concentration—a devastating burst of power unmatched by anyone!'

The Heavenly Warrior's feet were enveloped in dense Heavenly Martial Power, making it impossible for Lin Xiufeng to see what was inside.

But compared to convincing him that Li Ziyou has three Heavenly Martial Hearts, the second possibility is clearly more likely.

This is just very strange!

Normally, the more Heavenly Martial Force a Heavenly Martial Warrior has wrapped around their feet, the stronger their ability to resist the abnormal gravity of the Heavenly Martial Realm, the lighter their body feels, and the faster they can move.

Using the Heavenly Martial Force encased in his feet, Li Ziyou was able to move even faster.
Lin Xiufeng observed and tried at the same time.

He quickly discovered more: the rhythm of the high-concentration Heavenly Martial Force flowing upwards from Li Ziyou's feet was different when he moved, when he accelerated and exploded with the Shadowless Step, and when he launched the Unrivaled Might.

'The secret must lie in the rhythmic flow of these different celestial martial energies!'

Lin Xiufeng continued to feign frantic dodging, while Li Ziyou's attacks became increasingly frequent!
Li Ziyou was anxious, and very anxious!
He unleashed both his Shadowless Step and his signature move, "Who Can Compete With Us," and attacked more than twenty times without hitting a single target!
Li Ziyou was determined to give it his all and refused to admit defeat!
