Chapter 304: Deadly Swordplay

“Wu Kai, your strength is not bad!”

Su Mo laughed softly as he calmly grabbed Wu Kai’s axe.

Even Su Mo was taken aback by Wu Kai’s display of strength.

Su Mo’s physical strength was comparable to the combat strength of an Lv 5 True Spirit Realm martial artist. Furthermore, he possessed an incredible level of defense. An average Lv 3 True Spirit Realm martial artist would not be able to break through his defense.

However, Wu Kai’s axe possessed a strength that far surpassed his peers. Su Mo’s body might have been able to defend against his axe’s power, but he might not be able to block the edge of the huge axe with his body’s defense alone.

However, complemented with his Genuine Vitality, Su Mo was still confident that he could take him on with just his bare hands even if Wu Kai were twice as powerful.

“Not bad?”

Wu Kai’s lips could not help twitching at Su Mo’s words.

Not even Third Prince Jia Yuanji would dare to face him head-on, but he was only deemed “not bad” in Su Mo’s eyes!

Whoosh!

Wu Kai held onto his Mountain-splitting Axe as he flew back.

“Su Mo, you are really strong, I confess!”

Wu Kai shook his head gravely, stopped his attack, and returned to his seat.

Based on the earlier attack, he was able to tell that Su Mo’s strength was not something that he could take on. By continuing the duel, he would only further humiliate himself.

Silence filled the arena. Even Wu Kai, ranked 70th on the List of Top 100 Talents, had admitted defeat!

Zhu Shaojing’s face darkened because Su Mo’s strength had greatly exceeded his expectations.

Standing in the arena, Su Mo looked around and then said, “Does anyone else wish to duel?”

Silence again filled the area. Initially, many from the List of Top 100 Talents wanted to step forward as the idea crossed their mind, but they kept their silence.

Immediately, everyone’s gaze fell on three people standing in front.

They were: Third Prince Jia Yuanji, Deadly Swordsman Han Yijian, and Rakshasha She-devil Honglian.

These three people were the strongest people present, ranked 49th, 53rd, and 58th, respectively, on the List of Top 100 Talents.

They could only count on these three to defeat Su Mo given his earlier show of prowess.

Third Prince Jia Yuanji remained calm and did not show any indication of wanting to duel. As for both Han Yijian and Honglian, a strong fighting desire lit up in their eyes!

Han Yijian turned to Honglian, asking softly, “Who should go first?”

Honglian’s lips curled and she said with a brilliant smile, “If you wish to step forward, I will give this chance to you!”

“Who doesn’t know that Rakshasa She-devil enjoys a good fight!”

Han Yijian shook his head and said with a sigh, “That’s alright, I’ll give this chance to you!”

Su Mo heard the two of them discussing it, then with his brows furrowed, he impatiently said, “Both of you are welcome to come at me simultaneously!”

“What?”

Everyone was shocked to their cores by Su Mo’s words.

Had Su Mo actually invited both Han Yijian and Honglian to go up against him together?

What an arrogant display!

Even Jia Yuanji would not dare to challenge Han Yijian and Honglian at the same time.

Did Su Mo think that his strength surpassed Jia Yuanji’s? Would his strength really place him among the top 50 on the List of Top 100 Talents?

“Such conceit!”

Han Yijian’s gaze sharpened as he immediately got to his feet and declared, “Do you really believe that you can show such arrogance in front of me merely because you defeated Wu Kai?”

With these words, the air around Han Yijian suddenly crackled and that strong aura lifted up several nearby shores.

“Lv 4 True Spirit Realm!”

“Oh, my God! Han Yijian has actually attained that cultivation!”

“Han Yijian was already incredibly strong to begin with, and now that he has reached Lv 4 True Spirit Realm, his strength will definitely surge!”

“…”

The audience felt Han Yijian’s aura and broke into excited chatter.

Jia Yuanji and Honglian remained calm, as if this news was not surprising.

Zhu Shaojing’s surprise soon turned to joy. Initially, he was slightly concerned that Su Mo’s strength might have reached a level where he would be on par with Han Yijian and the rest.

But now that Han Yijian had revealed himself to be a Lv 4 True Spirit Realm martial artist, possessing the strength that could defeat a Lv 6 True Spirit Realm martial artist, defeating Su Mo should be a piece of cake.

And once Su Mo was defeated, he would definitely humiliate him in front of everyone.

Swish!

With a flash, Han Yijian disappeared from view and re-appeared within 20 meters of Su Mo.

Han Yijian said coldly, “Su Mo, for the sake of being fair, I will let you have the first three moves!”

Su Mo shook his head at his words and replied, “No one here needs to let me have the first three moves, not even if you have reached Lv 4 True Spirit Realm!”

The crowd was shocked by Su Mo’s arrogance even when facing Han Yijian at Lv 4 True Spirit Realm.

“I really don’t know where your confidence comes from!”

Han Yijian laughed as he shook his head, saying, “You have taught me the true meaning of arrogance. No one is ever the most arrogant one, there is always someone more arrogant out there!

“In that case, I’ll give it my all. Let’s begin!”

With these words, a thin sword appeared in his hand.

It had an extremely narrow blade and only half the size of a long sword. It was as thin as the wings of a cicada, emitting a sense of extreme sharpness.

Han Yijian, with his long sword, looked expectantly at Su Mo with no intention of making the first move.

He might have said that he would give it his all, but that did not mean he cared enough to make the first move. Rather, he was waiting for Su Mo to attack.

Su Mo could not help smirking when he saw his opponent acting all invincible. Did this show-off truly think that he was invincible just because he had reached Lv 4 True Spirit Realm?

Su Mo stared intently at his opponent, his gaze sharp. The Spirit-slayer Sword in his hand glowed as his essence, Qi, and spirit became one.

Swish!

Su Mo made the first move, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Han Yijian. A cold glow wrapped the razor-sharp sword edge as it slashed at Han Yijian.

The air rippled and a strong gust of wind blew. It was as if nothing else remained in the world but this one sword.

“Oh?”

Han Yijian was astonished at the strength of Su Mo’s sword.

An expert could easily discern his opponent’s strength from the first move. Su Mo’s sword caused Han Yijian’s fighting desire to rise.

Han Yijian’s face was expressionless as his sword radiance burst forth like a deadly snake attacking, accurately landing on Su Mo’s sword blade.

Clang!

Their swords collided, causing dazzling sparks to fly out and forcing both of them back at the same time.

Swoosh!

Han Yijian’s wrists shook from the force of blocking Su Mo’s blow. His long sword released a sharp sword ray, which was rapid beyond belief as it tore through time and space, heading for Su Mo’s neck.

This sword was extremely fast and the next sword ray appeared even before the sparks from the previous collision had scattered.

This was Han Yijian’s famous move, Deadly Swordplay! Incredibly strong and meant to kill!

“Break!”

Han Yijian’s swordsmanship might have been quick, but Su Mo was just as fast. The Spirit-slayer Sword moved at an incredible speed and quickly destroyed the oncoming sword ray.

“Not bad?”

Han Yijian coldly grinned and said, “You will be defeated by my next move!”

He quickly released his sword again, turning it invisible with a wave of his hand.

The sword had neither sword radiance nor Sword Qi with only indetectable vibrations in the air that widened out into the surrounding area. It seemed like it carried countless Sword Qi at once, but also seemed like there was no attack at all.

“Oh?”

Su Mo frowned and the hair on his body stood up. The sword was indeed terrifying, with no trace of attack at all!
