Chapter 584: Chapter 522 The Might of the Evil Emperor

"Swoosh—"

With one punch thrown, a burst of Gang Qi shot out from Chu Xuanji’s right fist, transforming into a clearly visible ink-black punch ray that hurtled towards Jie Dao and Emperor Bai’s master-disciple duo.

"Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!"

Although Chu Xuanji had only casually thrown a punch from where he stood, the punch ray was like a cannonball, the air exploding wherever it passed and creating a vacuum, its ferocity was simply awe-inspiring.

"Crack—"

Meanwhile, around Chu Xuanji’s feet, the center of a circle, the green bricks within dozens of meters began to shatter one after another, creating a terrifying momentum.

Whoosh!

Facing Chu Xuanji’s aggressive attack, Jie Dao didn’t dare to be negligent. With a flick of his right hand, the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade in his grasp flashed like a red light, sending a blood-red sword light shooting out to meet the ink-black punch ray.

"Boom!"

The next moment.

Punch ray and sword light collided, like the explosion of a cannonball, emitting a deafening roar, and then dissipated into streams of fine Gang Qi that shot out in all directions, with the speed of lightning.

With a sweep of his large hand, Chu Xuanji made all the Gang Qi that flew towards him and Ye Fan disappear into nothingness, while Jie Dao once again swung his blade to scatter the Gang Qi that was aimed at him and Emperor Bai.

An even match.

In their first exchange, neither Chu Xuanji nor Jie Dao gained the upper hand.

But Jie Dao’s expression was particularly grave.

Firstly, he was aware that Chu Xuanji’s punch had been a casual attack, without using any martial arts techniques, and furthermore, Chu Xuanji had struck barehanded, not utilizing any Magic Artifact, whereas in his hand was the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade—the only high-level Magical Treasure Saber in the world, which was tailor-made for the Blood Shadow Saber Technique. The combination of the two could significantly increase his attack power.

All this was enough to show that in terms of pure martial arts strength, he was no match for Chu Xuanji. Once Chu Xuanji combined his Magic and Martial Arts, he would certainly be no match for him!

"Jie Dao, if you don’t want your disciple to be killed by the shock of the Gang Qi energy, it’s best you come fight me in the sky," Chu Xuanji declared coldly, then leapt up and flew towards the sky, manipulating his Qi.

"Chu Xuanji, do you really think I’m afraid of you?"

Hearing Chu Xuanji’s words, Jie Dao knew that at this point, if he chose to retreat, he would not only lose the pride of a strong person but also become a laughing stock in the Hua Xia Cultivation World, and a heart demon, making it difficult for his Martial Arts Cultivation to progress. He thus decided to stake it all on one fight.

"Swoosh—"

As his voice fell, the resentment and anger that had built up in Jie Dao’s heart over the years suddenly erupted. With the strength from his legs, he leaped off the ground, wielding the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade as he soared into the sky.

"The fight has started!"

"I never thought I’d get to witness a battle between Supreme Strongmen from the Gang Qi Realm in my lifetime, and it’s even between the second and fourth of the Dragon Ranking!"

"Yeah, it’s so thrilling, keep fighting!"

...

Seeing Chu Xuanji and Jie Dao sparring and then both manipulating their Qi to fly into the sky, the disciples of Tian Shan Sword Sect outside the square were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, screaming excitedly.

In the square, Cang Bo took the hint and leapt up from the ground, flying to one side, afraid of being affected—he was only at the Gang Qi Great Success Realm, and if he were in the center of the two fighters’ battle, he might not only be accidentally injured but could also be harmed by the aftermath of their clash.

"Little Emperor, you withdraw from the square," Jie Dao’s voice rose continuously in the sky, seeing Chu Xuanji also boosting his momentum, he then said to Emperor Bai.

"Yes... Yes, Master!"

Underneath Jie Dao’s feet, Emperor Bai was still immersed in the previous shock, and when he heard Jie Dao’s words, he came back to his senses, a bit panicky as he flitted towards the edge of the square.

Meanwhile, without waiting for Chu Xuanji to speak, Ye Fan took the initiative to retreat to the other side of the square.

Seeing Ye Fan approaching, Xiao Selang, guilty as a thief, feared that Ye Fan was targeting him, and hurriedly left, heading towards where the other disciples of the Tian Shan Sword Sect were.

As Emperor Bai and Ye Fan successively left, Jie Dao’s aura climbed to its peak, his entire being shrouded in a blood-red aura, like a huge saber, looking quite eerie.

"Chu Xuanji, do you dare to decide the outcome with a single move?"

From amidst the thick blood qi, Jie Dao, with blood-red eyes, stared at Chu Xuanji several hundred meters away, and spoke first, his voice ringing like a bell, echoing across the Tian Shan Sword Sect’s square.

Jie Dao, so sly!

Startled by Jie Dao’s words, Cang Bo, who was far from the battlefield, had a clear understanding.

Although his strength was no match for Chu Xuanji and Jie Dao, it didn’t mean he couldn’t tell who was stronger or weaker between the two.

On the contrary, through their initial exchange, Cang Bo was very clear that, in terms of martial arts cultivation alone, Jie Dao was slightly weaker than Chu Xuanji. Even if he could compensate by using the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade, once Chu Xuanji attacked with both magic and martial arts together, Jie Dao would undoubtedly be defeated!

In such a situation, Jie Dao proposing to decide the outcome with a single move was a double-edged sword!

If Chu Xuanji refused, it would hurt the pride of the strong; outsiders might think that Chu Xuanji, despite being powerful, did not dare to decide the outcome with a single move.

And once Chu Xuanji agreed, he could only face Jie Dao in a head-on clash with a single move, whether by magic or martial arts, and it was hard to gain any advantage. Jie Dao would be able to retreat unscathed and maintain his reputation!

Unlike Cang Bo, Ye Fan as well as those from Yan were completely calm.

They were calm, not because they hadn’t seen through Jie Dao’s intentions, but because they understood Chu Xuanji.

Many supreme strongmen at the Gang Qi Realm place utmost importance on their identity and the dignity of the strong, even more so than their own lives—there are no lack of Gang Qi realm strongmen in the cultivation world who, in defense of their dignity, fought to the death against powerful foes and perished.

But... Chu Xuanji was not one of them!

On the contrary, ever since Chu Xuanji had learned that he had failed Bodhi Wuyin, and that Wuyin had since entered the Buddhist sect, his temperament changed drastically, growing reclusive and eccentric, to the point where he no longer cared about what the world thought, not to mention the lives of all under heaven.

"Jie Dao, do you think I’m a three-year-old child?"

Just as Ye Fan and those from Yan had predicted, Chu Xuanji did not fall for Jie Dao’s ploy, but instead scoffed mockingly.

As his voice fell, Chu Xuanji’s aura also rose to its peak, his entire body enveloped in a dense evil yin qi, like a demon god from hell.

"Swoosh—"

Seeing that Chu Xuanji was not fooled, Jie Dao did not waste any more words. He wielded his saber and charged straight at Chu Xuanji, like a streak of red morning light cutting through the sky.

"Hmph!"

Watching as the Jie Dao spontaneously attacked, Chu Xuanji snorted coldly, his hands forming seals at an extremely fast pace, so fast that it was impossible for anyone to see clearly.

Chu Xuanji’s magic cultivation had already reached the Peak of Gang Qi, and in terms of the speed of forming seals and casting spells, he was completely beyond comparison with Ye Fan, completing the seals within a breath’s time.

"Yin Yang Separation!"

After the seals were complete, Chu Xuanji shouted lowly, causing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi above the square to boil like turbulent water, vibrating intensely.

Whoosh——

Streams of yin energy separated from the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, gathering together to form an Evil Yin Demon with rolling evil aura.

Swish!

At that moment, Jie Dao pounced towards Chu Xuanji from less than a hundred meters away, his hands gripping the saber tightly, raising it high above, and fiercely slashing down!

Blood Kill!

With his move, Jie Dao exerted all his power, using his strongest killing move.

In an instant, a blood-red sword light shot out from the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade, like a terrifying energy wave blasting toward Chu Xuanji.

Facing such a dreadful slash, Chu Xuanji did not dodge or flinch, facing the incoming sword light with a punch!

——Qi Rushes to the Sky, Ninth Layer!

At this moment, Chu Xuanji also exerted his own signature strength, with nearly a quarter of Gang Qi in his body instantly evacuated, whistling out through his right fist, rolling up the surrounding Evil Yin Qi, turning it into a dark Punch Ray!

"Boom!!"

An earth-shattering boom resonated, as the Punch Ray and sword light scattered upon collision, the terrifying energy shockwave directly causing the air within several meters of the point of impact to evaporate, with dark and blood-red Gang Qi shooting towards all directions, like fireworks blooming.

The next moment.

Chu Xuanji and Jie Dao were both shaken by the energy shockwave, like baseballs hit out of the park, retreating rapidly at the same time.

Fifty meters, a hundred meters, a hundred and fifty meters...

Chu Xuanji tumbled backwards for a full hundred and fifty meters before stabilizing his figure!

And... Jie Dao, who was holding the high-level magical Bloodthirsty Mad Blade, was thrown back a full two hundred meters!

"Uh..."

Seeing this scene, all members of the Tian Shan Sword Sect, including Xiao Selang on the outside of the square, were stunned.

Even Cang Bo was extremely surprised, astonished at the terrifying combat power of Chu Xuanji and Jie Dao!

In his view, it wasn’t just him—even his master, the former Sect Leader of the Tian Shan Sword Sect, an elder generation Sword King, would be at a disadvantage fighting against the two of them!

Ye Fan was also shocked by the fight between Chu Xuanji and Jie Dao.

Although he had witnessed the battle between Chu Xuanji and Wu Mu in the North Korea Special Zone, during that time, Chu Xuanji mainly used magic attacks, which were nowhere near as shocking as martial arts attacks.

The only one who did not change his expression was Yan Yi alone.

As the Supreme Strongman who topped both the Dragon Ranking and the Divine List, he was the most powerful person on this planet, and naturally, he was not shocked by the fight between Chu Xuanji and Jie Dao.

Swish!

After clashing head-on, Chu Xuanji shifted from defense to offense. With a thought, the Evil Yin Demon in the air lunged at Jie Dao.

"Disperse!"

Jie Dao furiously delivered a slash, his blood-red saber light directly cleaving the Evil Yin Demon in two.

"Sizzle~"

Sounds like roasting meat emerged, with much of the Evil Yin Qi being evaporated by Jie Dao’s intense Blood Qi, but the remaining Evil Yin Qi once again transformed into an Evil Yin Demon, savagely pouncing towards Jie Dao.

Jie Dao repeated his move, delivering another slash and once again severing the Evil Yin Demon!

"Huff!"

Just then, Chu Xuanji appeared above Jie Dao like a phantom, leveraging the force of his descent to deliver a punch with full force.

The terrifying Punch Ray reappeared, like a falling dark sun, crashing down on Jie Dao, leaving him nowhere to dodge!

"Damn it!"

Jie Dao roared internally, and sent a Blood Kill skyward, the blood-red sword light whistling out, lighting up the skies.

"Boom!"

"Pfft——"

With the loud noise echoing once again, Jie Dao was injured by the energy wave because he was too close to the point of collision between the Punch Ray and the sword light. He spat out a mouthful of blood mist and plummeted towards the ground below.

Three moves!

In merely three moves, Jie Dao was seriously injured!

This outcome was beyond the expectations of all members of the Tian Shan Sword Sect, including Cang Bo!

It also exceeded Ye Fan’s expectations!

After all, Chu Xuanji and Wu Mu had fought for a long time that day, and in the end, it was the magic artifact on him that killed Wu Mu.

And in terms of sheer strength, Jie Dao was even stronger than Wu Mu, so there was no reason for him to be defeated so quickly.

What Ye Fan didn’t know was that the Soul Summoning Banner Wu Mu cultivated contained powerful resentful spirits, the quality comparable to the Sect Suppressing Demon Artifact of the Demon Sect from the Ancient Cultivation World, with immense power far beyond ordinary high-level magical artifacts.

"Master... Master, how could it be possible to be defeated by Chu Xuanji in three moves??"

On the edge of the square, he looked up at Jie Dao as he fell from the sky, like a living fossil, motionless and completely stunned, his mind occupied by a single thought and entirely dumbfounded!
