Chapter 968: Chapter 972: Flowing Fire Versus Falling Blossoms

So close?

The words of the famed White Jade Sword Saint immediately caused a wave of shock among the crowd.

Guo De gained renown a century ago, during a time when Huaxia Warrior Realm was brimming with talented prodigies.

Among them, only the Falling Petal Sword God could rival him in fame.

However, it was a pity the two never clashed, leaving the true peak of the Sword Realm unknown.

No one expected, after a century…

The peak of the Sword Realm from a hundred years ago had been shattered by a new generation of strongholds.

“Could it be!”

“Could it really be Chief Xia!”

“Perhaps it truly is!”

“My heavens! Chief Xia actually shattered the White Jade Sword Saint’s divine artifact!!”

“This is terrifying! Chief Xia’s age is still so young, and while having Innate Cultivation is impressive enough, he also possesses such terrifying mastery over the Sword Realm.”

…

As the crowd grew increasingly agitated with speculation, Zhu Long and Feng Zhi fixed their sharp gazes on Xia Liu.

Especially Zhu Long, whose eyes glinted with silent vital energy. No wonder Xia Liu dared to face him so calmly.

His reliance was indeed in the pinnacle Sword Realm!

“If it’s you, then today, let me show you what the pinnacle Sword Realm truly is!”

“The Falling Petal Divine Sword, passed down for a century in the Warrior Realm, has come to the end of its myth.”

Xia Liu had no fear; the one who should tremble was him—the so-called Falling Petal Sword God!

“Hahaha!”

Zhu Long laughed heartily, mocking the notion that a mere junior in the Sword Realm, a hundred years later, could dream of ending his legend.

How could he!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!

Before Zhu Long’s laughter subsided, the air was filled with the hum of swords. The sharpness of sword qi engulfed the entire Osmanthus Sect.

At this moment, a luminous sword appeared in Zhu Long’s hands.

The sunlight struck the blade, lending even greater sharpness to its divine edge.

To the naked eye, it seemed as though countless razor-sharp objects were staring back, making one’s heart involuntarily shudder.

“Junior! Draw your sword! I want to see what kind of divine artifact is capable of breaking the White Jade Sword!”

In this world, there were few opponents to begin with.

And now another Sword Saint of equal fame had fallen.

Zhu Long was filled with hatred!

He wanted to slice Xia Liu into pieces!

“Since you wish to be defeated in your most adept domain, I shall grant your demise!”

With a faint smirk, Xia Liu extended his hand. His immense divine sense surged, and the Flowing Fire Sword, resting silently in the main hall, responded to his sensing and flew out immediately.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

As the piercing sound of the sword breaking through the air reverberated, all eyes fixed on the sky.

Just one glance was enough to leave them utterly aghast.

The Flowing Fire Sword whirled through the sky before plunging downward.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the crimson divine blade embedded itself in the stone slabs before Xia Liu, startling the surrounding air into a flurry of dust.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!

Even as the Flowing Fire Sword stood embedded in the stone, its sword hum continued to resonate.

“What a sharp sword!”

“This is a divine artifact not belonging to the Mortal World!”

“This sword is extremely terrifying!”

…

Visually overpowering, audibly deafening, and lethally untouchable!

This was the impression the Flowing Fire Sword left on the crowd for the first time!

The sword evoked a deep-seated tremor within their souls.

“What a divine artifact! What is its name?”

From the first moment Zhu Long saw the Flowing Fire Sword, he fell in love with its radiant crimson edge.

After this battle ended, this sword would belong to him!

“If you can withstand one strike, you might qualify to know its name.”

“Arrogant!”

“Very well, let’s try! Fire Spirit Sword!”

Without further words, Xia Liu extended his Sword Finger and pointed. The Flowing Fire Sword erupted with light!

The fiery red blade revealed itself to the crowd for the first time.

Without physically wielding the divine blade, Xia Liu controlled the sword with his soul and wielded force through swordsmanship. Even Zhu Long was shaken watching this unfold.

But he dared not retreat.

Not a single step was allowed.

Facing the oncoming, ferocious blaze of red light, Zhu Long immediately responded.

“Falling Petal Sword Art—First Style: Burial Remains!”

Xia Liu had experienced the might of the Burial Remains before.

Now, encountering Zhu Long reapplying this technique, Xia Liu remained unmoving as the Five Elements Mantra burst into action.

“He can resist the overwhelming illusory power of the Burial Remains!”

Zhu Long was astonished to find that Burial Remains had no effect on Xia Liu.

Confronted with the Fire Spirit Sword, Zhu Long had no choice but to summon all his Inner Origin to counter the attack.

Whoosh!

As the two pinnacle Sword Realm extreme moves collided, Zhu Long’s body trembled, retreating a few paces.

In the first exchange, the Falling Petal Sword God fell slightly behind!

“What terrifying power!”

“The Falling Petal Sword God was forced back!”

“Chief Xia’s power is incredible! His mastery over the Sword Realm must surely be at its peak.”

“This is astonishing. Chief Xia is so young; his future will most likely make him the ultimate force in the Sword Realm.”

“My heavens! No wonder he was able to shatter the White Jade Sword—his strength is overwhelmingly fearsome!”

“Terrifyingly powerful…”

Seeing Xia Liu take the first advantage, the crowd erupted in excitement.

“Haha! Drawing conclusions too early, are we? Your sword is overly sharp!”

“Breaking your Falling Petal Sword will suffice!”

“You’ll live long enough to boast if you can! Falling Petal Sword Art—Soul Burial!”

The Burial Remains technique, and now the Soul Burial—a reputed move known for being unbreakable. Once the Falling Petal Sword locked onto its target, even their soul could be shattered.

“Karmic Fire!”

With a single gesture, Xia Liu formed a Seal Decree, finally striking it onto his blade.

In an instant, the Flowing Fire Sword radiated dazzling brilliance—like a beacon in the dark, impossible to replicate or resist.

Empowered by Karmic Fire from the Origin, Xia Liu’s confidence soared to its peak.

In that fleeting moment, icy flames spread across the scene, delighting the crowd in amazement.

“Such domineering energy!”

Sensing the soul-burning aura emanating from the blade of the Flowing Fire Sword…

Zhu Long nearly mistook this for his own Soul Burial technique reaching a higher-tier Sword Qi.

Before the crowd could revel further in their astonishment, the two individuals vanished into the spatial rift. Upon reappearing, their forms underwent dramatic changes.

Xia Liu launched a horizontal slash; Zhu Long wielded his soft divine sword to fend it off forcefully.

Ting! Ting! Ting!!!

The crisp clash of metal echoed across the Osmanthus Sect.

Zhu Long’s expression finally shifted.

He now understood—Guo De hadn’t been exaggerating. Xia Liu indeed possessed an unparalleled divine blade. Even his Falling Petal Sword might be inferior.

If the fight continued, just like Guo De, his sword would surely shatter.

“Old man, be prepared!”

Xia Liu’s eyes gleamed with a trace of fiery red—the rising Karmic Fire!

Upon hearing the warning, Zhu Long immediately activated his entire Inner Origin.

No matter whether Xia Liu was bluffing, in close combat, he had to stay alert to all surroundings.

Thud!

But before Zhu Long could react, a muffled sound erupted in his chest. A volatile surge of heat scattered around the area.

A sweet taste rose to his throat—it was his Essence Blood!

“Junior! You dare to use a dark weapon!”

Staggering backward, Zhu Long clutched his chest, gathering his Inner Origin to stabilize his internal injuries.

This…

Seeing Zhu Long retreat and display an expression of horror, the spectators were utterly stupefied.

They couldn’t comprehend what had just happened.

Moreover, Zhu Long claimed that Xia Liu had used a dark weapon!

How could that be possible…
