Chapter 221: Chapter 212: Sikong Yi’s Provocation

"Hmm?"

Feeling the gaze of Qin Yue combined with the aura of strong momentum emanating from the other party, Sikong Yi couldn’t help but slightly frown.

He could sense that Qin Yue’s cultivation had grown much stronger than when they had last met.

"Did he refine that Primordial Spirit Dao Embryo..."

Sikong Yi narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself. Immediately after, his gaze shifted and landed on Mo Wangchen, "How about it, are you interested in having a go with me?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Wangchen instantly narrowed his eyes.

"What? Sikong Yi actually wants to challenge Mo Wangchen?"

"That’s a bit shameless. Mo Wangchen hasn’t even reached the Returning Ruins Realm, while Sikong Yi is one of the few geniuses among the younger generation in the Ten Directions Domain, a Primordial Spirit Realm Expert. Even some of the older generation would have to steer clear!"

"Sikong Yi, what do you mean by this?" Qin Yue also frowned, her gaze growing colder.

However, Sikong Yi didn’t pay any attention to her. His gaze remained fixated on Mo Wangchen, a trace of disdain appearing on his face, "What? You want to keep hiding behind a woman?"

Mo Wangchen’s frown deepened. He knew Sikong Yi was provoking him, but he had to admit that these words truly stirred the anger within him.

He looked at Sikong Yi, and eventually took a deep breath, calming himself down, "You really have the nerve to say that. You, Sikong Yi, are one of the three geniuses of the Ten Directions Domain and a Sword Sect Saint of the Primordial Spirit Realm; yet you have the gall to ask someone who hasn’t even stepped into the Returning Ruins Realm to spar with you?"

"Heh heh..."

Facing Mo Wangchen’s words, Sikong Yi simply smiled indifferently, not at all concerned, "How about this— I will suppress my cultivation to the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the same realm as you. We will only exchange a single strike. How does that sound?"

As he spoke, Sikong Yi’s tone paused slightly, his gaze contained a hint of provocation, "If you have confidence in your strength, why would you be afraid at the same realm level..."

"Suppress cultivation?"

"That does seem fairer. However, looking across the entire Ten Directions Domain, Sikong Yi is a leading figure among the younger generation. Even at the same realm level, how could Mo Wangchen possibly be his match..."

"Yes, but it’s only a matter of facing a single strike. I wonder if Mo Wangchen can handle it?"

All around, the crowd was buzzing with discussion, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Clearly, they subconsciously wanted to witness the clash between these two.

"Just one strike, huh..."

Mo Wangchen’s brows furrowed slightly as he squinted his eyes, staring straight at Sikong Yi.

However, just as he was about to step forward, he heard Lin Xuantian’s voice come from behind him, "Even with suppressed cultivation, Sikong Yi’s power far exceeds your imagination, Mo Wangchen, don’t be impulsive!"

To become a Sword Sect Saint, Sikong Yi’s talent was self-evident, and besides, he had grasped Sword Intent. Even at the same realm level, no one could withstand his single strike.

Mo Wangchen’s steps hesitated slightly. After a moment of silence, he turned and bowed to Lin Xuantian, "Sect Master, your disciple wishes to try. This is for the clarity of my Sword Heart, to be fearless against strong enemies. Should I retreat now, it will surely affect my Sword Heart, and its edge will be no more."

A swordman’s heart is their blade, wielding the sword to cut through all confusion ahead. If Mo Wangchen were to retreat now, his sword would lose the edge it was meant to have, affecting his Dao Heart. For his life, he would struggle to move beyond today’s perplexity.

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Lin Xuantian furrowed his brows. He was not a Sword Cultivator, but he understood what Mo Wangchen meant.

And based on what he knew of Mo Wangchen, the man was not one to act rashly. After a brief silence, he asked, "Your path of the Sword Dao is not for me to interfere with. However, defeat will also affect your Dao Heart. Are you sure you have thought this through?"

"Your disciple understands," Mo Wangchen nodded.

Then, turning around, he looked at Sikong Yi, "Today, what harm is there in taking your strike?"

"He actually accepted the challenge!"

"With such boldness, this individual will surely be unstoppable in the future!"

In the audience seats, after their initial surprise, there was a hint of admiration in everyone’s eyes.

A cold gleam flickered in Sikong Yi’s eyes, and his sneer was persistent. He took several steps back, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

Hum!

As the sword entered his grip, that transcendent aura unique to swordsmen was displayed to the utmost on Sikong Yi. At the same time, his cultivation was suddenly compressed.

In the end, he reached the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

Despite this, Mo Wangchen still felt an extremely strong oppressive force emanating from him.

Lin Xuantian and Qin Yue retreated, their gazes somewhat worried as they looked at Mo Wangchen. Finally, Lin Xuantian turned to Fang Tianzhou in the audience seats and said coldly, "Don’t forget, this place is under the Pill Sect’s domain. If something unexpected happens to Mo Wangchen..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone felt a faint oppressive force emanating from him.

Fang Tianzhou’s gaze became focused, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "Rest assured, Pill King, the Sword Sect Saint Heir knows the proper force to use when making a move."

...

At the same time, on the high platform, Mo Wangchen and Sikong Yi stood ten steps apart. The scene was extremely quiet, and everyone quietly watched the proceedings.

However, they saw Sikong Yi suddenly smile and say, "Let’s not say I’m taking advantage of you. With this sword, I will not utilize Sword Intent."

As he spoke, the long sword in his hand was raised slightly, and the brewing of a sharp Sword Force made the sword quiver slightly. Simultaneously, a majestic Sword Pressure filled the high platform, startling everyone.

"What a terrifying Sword Force!"

"Without even making a move, he has created such momentum. Sikong Yi truly deserves his title as the Sword Sect Saint Heir, a standout among the young generation in all ten regions!"

All around, people’s gazes tensed, and a hint of wariness appeared in their eyes.

"This sword move has been used to slay a triple-layer Returning Ruins Realm expert when I was at the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Your swordsmanship indeed deserves attention, but today, even if I suppress my cultivation, I’m afraid you’ll find it difficult to withstand."

In Sikong Yi’s eyes shone an unparalleled confidence, born from the fact that since he started his cultivation, no one of the same realm had ever been able to contend with him.

Even Mo Wangchen was no exception!

As his voice faded, his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint passing by. The next moment, his long sword broke through the air. In an instant, an astonishing Sword Light flashed by, followed by a Sword Force that caused Mo Wangchen’s scalp to numb. It stirred the winds and clouds, bearing down on him like a great mountain, causing his body to instantly tense.

"So powerful!"

"Did Sikong Yi really suppress his cultivation? Spirit Transformation Realm ninth level? That sword strike would match the strongest blow from a triple or quadruple-layer Returning Ruins Realm expert!"

All around, the spectators’ complexions changed, and those at the Returning Ruins Realm levels turned slightly pale.

"Huh!"

Under the gaze of the entire crowd, Mo Wangchen stood quietly in place. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. When his eyes reopened, they burst forth with twin beams of Sword Light, piercing through hearts.

Hum!

At the same time, an overwhelming Sword Dao Will suddenly erupted from him. In the sky, the forces surged, and the whole Heaven and Earth seemed to darken at that moment.

Feeling the changes occurring around him, the hearts of all the spectators trembled involuntarily, and they stood up from their places uncontrollably, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"This is..."

"Is that Sword Intent?!"
