Chapter 1310 - Chapter 1310 Chapter 602 Despair

Chapter 1310: Chapter 602: Despair Chapter 1310: Chapter 602: Despair Even with his neglected practice, Cao Anbang had reached the peak of the Mortal Realm. To be killed with just a glance far exceeded the norms of martial arts, and his body’s heavy thud as it hit the ground also snapped Yun Xiu back to reality.

With the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul in hand, she abandoned her mastered Cloud Hand Spirit Technique. In her resolute eyes brimmed limitless intent to kill as she thrust her eagle-claw-like hand, trailing a seven-colored ribbon, straight toward the major acupoints around Xu Xiao’s body, fearless and undaunted.

“Too slow, too soft!”

Xu Xiao frowned and, even in the face of this strike boosted by a Divine Artifact, he didn’t remove his right hand from the Sword Jade. Instead, he simply extended his left hand. A single flicker of dark light from his finger landed squarely on Yun Xiu’s claw, shattering her furious Spirit Technique, with the remnant force striking her right palm.

“Crack.”

The residual force of the sword energy couldn’t break through the Divine Artifact gloves but still snapped Yun Xiu’s entire right hand backwards.

Yet, as if numb to the pain, Yun Xiu used the rotational force to spin, shooting towards Xu Xiao with even greater speed.

“Too direct, too clumsy.”

With a pivot of his sword finger, Xu Xiao’s left arm swept lightly, forming two crescent-moon sword lights into a sword cross that blocked Yun Xiu’s path. Unable to control her high speed to dodge in time, she could only open her palms, transforming her fists, to part the silken threads of Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul in a desperate attempt to break through the cross of swords.

“Bang!”

The Divine Artifact collided with the sword energy, Yun Xiu truly broke through, but there was no sign of Xu Xiao before her.

As she searched, the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, feeling as if she had fallen into an icy pit. In a critical moment, she swiftly swung her right hand backward but was still a step too late.

Xu Xiao, who had somehow appeared behind her without even changing his stance, still extended a left finger, hitting Yun Xiu squarely in the back.

The ferocious sword energy howled, instantly tearing through Yun Xiu’s protective energy and sending her flying.

Mid-air Yun Xiu twisted her body, disregarding the severe injury on her back, and bellowed.

“Haaah!”

With the Spirit Art Cloud Roar, she expelled a breath of pure cloud energy, slashing like a white cloud arrow straight towards Xu Xiao’s face.

“Ting!”

In the face of this cloud sword, Xu Xiao simply flicked it away with a light tap of his left index finger, scattering the sword-like Cloud Roar.

“You have pure cloud energy, but your sword intent is neither solid nor substantial. How could such a feeble sword breath hurt anyone?”

As his words fell, Xu Xiao also opened his mouth and shouted, like thunder shattering the sky, a pure white Divine Sword streaked across like lightning.

Even though the Divine Sword was spat from a distance, Yun Xiu couldn’t even raise her hand to block and was directly struck on her left shoulder, spinning away and crashing into the wall, causing the whole Hanging Sky City to tremble.

Xu Xiao turned to look where the Spirit Realm Gate had closed and said indifferently, “It seems your companion did quite well; the Spirit Realm Heart is collapsing.”

Without a response, Yun Xiu, clutching her left shoulder and propping herself against the wall with her legs, stared intently at Xu Xiao and charged again.

“Too slow!”

“Bang!”

“Too slow!”

“Bang!!”

“Still too slow!”

“Bang!!!”

Like a rag doll, Yun Xiu was cut from east to west by Xu Xiao’s sword energy, and what was most despairing was that, from beginning to end, Xu Xiao had not moved his right hand from the Sword Jade, nor had he used a strength beyond the Mortal Realm. Yet Yun Xiu, wearing Divine Artifacts, could not find a single chance to defeat him.

Struck down heavily to the ground once again, Yun Xiu attempted to stand but realized that her left arm, which was propping up her upper body, had gone weak, causing her to fall back to the ground.

“You’re really too weak!”

Xu Xiao frowned in disappointment and said, “Your Spirit Arts are rusty, your physique is frail, and even the Yun Family’s signature soft strength is poorly practiced. Is this truly the might of the Yun Clan now?”

With such strength, how could she possibly restore her power, let alone… take revenge personal?

Ignoring the mockery of the Divine Sword of Yuanzhou, Yun Xiu forced herself to try to stand and fight again, but Xu Xiao seemed to have lost the mood to test her further and signaled with his eyes to Xu Jingliang, who had just walked into the Dutian Sky Mirror.

“You lost.”

Approaching closer, Xu Jingliang grimaced and rubbed his abdomen, “That old monk has some tricks up his sleeve; the intelligence from the Fire Department was too delayed. This guy isn’t just some warrior from the Fierce Realm, he’s clearly on the threshold of being a master. Two hundred and six Arhat Dharma Aspect-merged Buddha bones, and even a golden body slash can’t cut through it–that’s far stronger than the rumors.”

“Did you come here just to say that?”

“Of course not.”

Glancing at Yun Xiu still struggling on the ground, Xu Jingliang scratched the back of his head and said, “I just wanted to check after another earthquake happened in the city.”

Though he claimed to be inquiring about the situation, there was no sign of concern on Xu Jingliang’s face. After all, Xu Xiao had been inside for a while, and he couldn’t believe there was any problem his leader couldn’t solve.

It wasn’t blind faith but decades of following that had made him accustomed to Xu Xiao’s unmatched power.

The renowned Yuan Wu from the King Realm had retreated; was there anyone else who could raise their voice?

Actually, there was.

“Announce to the entire city that the core of the Spirit Realm is collapsing. The Boundary Breaking Stone that opens the gate to the Spirit Realm has been crushed. In a few hours at most, Hanging Sky City will collapse. Order all those staying in the city to evacuate, and use the Fire Department’s Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessels to transport the weak and the women and children from the Dutian Sky Mirror down to the ground in batches.”

As he listened to Xu Xiao’s orders, Xu Jingliang’s mouth opened wider and wider, he said in disbelief, “How… how is this possible? Wasn’t Blood Tower blocked by us? Could there be a second person from the King Realm apart from the renowned Yuan Wu?”

“Not the King Realm, probably just a powerful being with special methods.”

With things having reached this point, Xu Xiao didn’t wish to make any more useless conjectures and continued to give orders, “There’s not much time; hurry and do it.”

“Yes, Commander!”

Xu Jingliang nodded heavily, turned, and left, without giving another glance to Yun Xiu, who was still struggling on the ground.

“Can you still stand?”

Xu Xiao looked at Yun Xiu as she swayed to her feet, unable even to take a proper stance, and shook his head, “It seems that you really hate me. Unfortunately, you won’t get your revenge.”

“Even if we put aside external factors like background, followers, and divine weapons, and gave you two hundred more years, you would still not be my match. Even if I gave you the chance to gather all the remnants of your Yun Family, in the end, the one standing would still be me.”

“No wonder you were exterminated by a single Primordial Sword Command; the Yun Family is simply too weak!”

“Shut up!”

Enraged by Xu Xiao’s words, Yun Xiu trembled, “Just because we’re weak, we deserve to die? The Yun Clan is kind to others, kind to the world–do we deserve to die for that?”

“It’s not that the weak deserve to die, but rather that the weak are more likely to die.”

Xu Xiao spoke indifferently, “Like now, your clan’s destroyer stands before you, what can you do? In our fight just now, I used all the sword techniques and Spirit Arts that were my specialty when I was still in the Mortal Realm. So, do you understand?”

“Even if you devoted your life to hard practice, with your talents, you can never have revenge. So, use the life you barely managed to keep to do something else meaningful.”

Shaking all over with anger, Yun Xiu retorted, “Don’t you find it shameless to say such things?”
