Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Li Xuan vs Ying Kun

Ye Wang is dead, having passed away with regrets.

If it is said that a pitiable person surely has hateful aspects, then perhaps a hateful person definitely has their pitiable aspects, too.

Who Xiao Die is might no longer be a question anyone will think about now that Ye Wang is dead.

Ye Wang’s strength and age also made him a young Cultivator with endless potential in the Demon World.

The fact that Ye Wang, who could have been considered a genius in the Demon World, willingly ventured into the Death Space,

shows how sweet yet deadly love can be.

Mu Can watched Ye Wang, his expression somewhat complex.

"Those who are trapped by love in this world are all pitiable."

"Contestant number thirty-six, Mu Can, kills contestant number fifty-eight, Ye Wang. Eight survivors left in the Death Space."

With Ye Wang’s death, the number of Cultivators remaining in the Death Space has also reduced to eight.

In fact, it’s unfortunate for Mu Can and the others, as safety zones within the Death Space are rarely ever set in open plains like this, devoid of any cover.

If it were in a place where one could effectively hide their tracks, no one would foolishly stand out to engage in such a fight; knowing that any slight adventure found before the final battle greatly increases the chances of winning.

"Fight?" Among those present, only Mu Can and Ning Wang had finished their battles.

"Let’s wait." Although Ning Wang is a cultivation fanatic, he isn’t a battle maniac. He is thinking of waiting for the remaining six people to finish their fights before proceeding.

"Alright." Facing someone as decisive as Ning Wang, Mu Can agreed wholeheartedly.

It must be said, those who can enter the Death Space, if they aren’t incredibly powerful, then they must be extraordinarily lucky survivors.

Indeed, within the Death Space, there exists opportunities that can elevate one tremendously. This is also a major attraction for the continuous influx of entrants.

"Impressive." Watching the battles of others, Mu Can couldn’t help but exclaim.

Indeed, those who made it this far weren’t weaklings; the weak had almost all been eliminated in earlier rounds.

What caught Mu Can’s attention most was the fight between Li Xuan and Ying Kun.

One man, one sword, they enjoyed their fight immensely; Li Xuan, transformed into the Sword Tao Long Sword, executed exquisite sword moves that dazzled Mu Can.

With one sword strike, a continuous follow-up attack was like the tide, wave after wave, relentlessly pushing forward.

And Ying Kun’s response also made Mu Can take notice—dazzling shadows, endless duplicates; even Mu Can had to concentrate to discern Ying Kun’s True Body.

"You are strong, but it’s useless, I can embody thousands," said the six Ying Kuns surrounding Li Xuan.

"Don’t think you’re the only one who can clone, Sword Cage," Li Xuan’s voice emanated from the trembling Sword Tao Long Sword.

As soon as the words fell, the Sword Tao Long Sword immediately shattered, eighteen slightly smaller swords flying out from it.

Grouped in threes, they surrounded the six Ying Kuns.

Ying Kun’s expression changed, trying to escape the boundary of the longswords, only to find all escape routes sealed and every dodging angle blocked.

It was then Ying Kun realized just how powerful Li Xuan truly was.

He was blinded by the process of Mu Can’s battle just now, and Mu Can’s performance gave Ying Kun the feeling that Li Xuan was nothing special.

But only through real combat can one truly understand how strong Li Xuan’s comprehension of Sword Dao really is.

The pain of Nine Swords entering one’s body is not something everyone has the courage to endure; enduring the Sword Qi of the Nine Swords inside the body is barely less agonizing than being cut by thousands of knives.

Not only that, Li Xuan could even transform into a sword, merging all his Cultivation into the sword.

"Slash." Eighteen Flying Swords attacked simultaneously, drawing brilliant trails of sword light, engulfing six Ying Kuns within them.

The sound of shattering glass rang out, and the six Ying Kuns simultaneously shattered.

"This is wrong, they are all clones." Not hearing the kill notification, Li Xuan immediately realized that none of the six Ying Kuns he had just struck were the True Body; all were clones.

The eighteen Flying Swords merged in an instant, the Sword Tao Long Sword reappeared, cautiously guarding its surroundings.

"Impressive." Mu Can was also seeing such formidable clone techniques for the first time, as Ying Kun vanished from everyone’s sight.

The blade of the sword swung in a circle, sending a Sword Qi flying in all directions, instantly reaching its target.

With an indifferent look, Mu Can watched the Sword Qi coming towards him, his face expressionless; it was evident that this Sword Qi posed almost no threat.

"Over there." Li Xuan had no intention for the Sword Qi to cause any damage; his main goal was evident, using the Sword Qi to pinpoint Ying Kun’s location.

The Longsword sped through the air, streaking a trail of light as if to split the air, and ferociously slashing towards a place that seemed completely normal.

"Using Sword Qi to locate the enemy, Ying Kun has met his match," Ning Wang also stared unblinkingly at the site of Li Xuan’s battle.

In his eyes, among the remaining people, the biggest threats were Mu Can and Li Xuan—one unparalleled in defense, the other outstanding in attack.

As for Ying Kun, he might be very strong on the outside, but in a place like the Death Space where abilities to confront each other in close combat are required, his skills are not very suitable.

With a swing of his sword, Ying Kun’s figure awkwardly dodged from mid-air, once again coming into everyone’s vision.

"Impossible." Ying Kun was quite confident in his own concealment techniques and couldn’t believe that at such a distance, Li Xuan could still discover him.

"Nothing is impossible, your breathing betrayed you," Li Xuan said softly, standing in mid-air.

The sweep of his own Sword Qi, even the strongest Cultivator would have a change of heart.

Even if they don’t make any dodging movements, their breathing would still change.

With eight people still in the arena, six visible to the eye, then the one spot with anomalies had to be where Ying Kun was hiding.

"Heh." Ying Kun gave a dry laugh, his prided concealment abilities had been seen through by Li Xuan like this.

"Soldier Disintegration," Li Xuan roared.

The Longsword wildly danced in the air, Sword Qi furiously attacking Ying Kun.

Soldier Disintegration here does not mean to disintegrate oneself, but to use such dense Sword Qi to disintegrate Ying Kun.

In fact, Ying Kun’s strongest ability lies in hiding and being able to launch deadly attacks at any moment; in face-to-face confrontations like this, his combat abilities are quite limited.

As expected, Ying Kun ultimately fell to Li Xuan’s sword.

It’s unknown whether he would have chosen to attack Mu Can during his duel with Li Xuan if he had the choice.
