Chapter 1995: It Seems the Match Isn’t Over Yet!
Obviously, Zhang Xiao really did value Luo Qianqiu to an extreme degree!
Otherwise he wouldn’t have opened with such a powerful move the moment he took the field!
Everyone couldn’t help looking toward Luo Qianqiu, wanting to see how he would respond!
But Luo Qianqiu showed no panic at all. The longsword in his hand left its scabbard with a low, buzzing hum!
They saw his wrist give the slightest shake, and in that instant, who knew how many times it trembled—countless streaks of Sword Aura linked end to end and poured out in one continuous stream!
Within them there was even a certain special flavor!
"Sword Intent! That’s Sword Intent!"
At that exact split second, an Elder cried out in shock!
The moment his voice fell, everyone in the square was violently shaken!
Sword Intent?!
This incomparably mysterious thing—Luo Qianqiu had actually grasped it?!
Luo Qianqiu not making a move was fine, but the moment he did, he scared everyone out of their wits!
At this moment all they could do was sigh from the bottom of their hearts:
Luo Qianqiu really deserved to be Luo Qianqiu!
Su Chen was naturally also focused on the battle between the two. Just now he too had sensed something from that sword strike!
Only after hearing everyone’s exclamations now did he realize—it was Sword Intent!
In fact, from the words alone it was easy enough to understand: it was the artistic conception of the sword!
Of course, Su Chen also knew that truly mastering Sword Intent was definitely not easy. Just look at everyone’s reaction in the square and you’d know!
It seemed the young people of this Ancient Dynasty were really not to be underestimated!
Just then, the two attacks collided, and the energy, violent to the extreme, seemed to be ripping heaven and earth apart!
The deafening roar made it feel as if the entire square was trembling!
In the process, both of their bodies were blasted backward at high speed!
However, Luo Qianqiu was pushed farther back!
Luo Qianqiu calmed the slightly scattered aura within his body, and thought to himself:
"Looks like relying on Sword Intent alone isn’t enough!"
That was normal, because his Sword Intent had only just stepped through the door!
If it were at the Minor Completion level, he should have been able to defeat the other side already!
At this moment, the look in Zhang Xiao’s eyes as he raised his head toward Luo Qianqiu was also filled with shock!
This Luo Qianqiu truly deserved to have always been first in everyone’s hearts. If he himself hadn’t stepped into the Creation Realm a few months ago, then in today’s battle he would definitely have lost without a doubt!
Fortunately, he was now in the Creation Realm!
Seeing the outcome of the first clash between the two, everyone was filled with emotion!
It seemed Zhang Xiao was ultimately still a cut above!
And no wonder—Creation Realm was Creation Realm, after all!
The gap of an entire major Realm was not something that could be crossed so easily!
It had to be Luo Qianqiu—if it had been anyone else, they’d most likely have been either dead or seriously injured from that exchange just now!
Suddenly, Zhang Xiao’s figure moved again!
At the same time, his hands wove and twined together, and immediately, streaks of milky-white radiance flowed in his palms!
The closer he got to Luo Qianqiu, the faster his hands intertwined, to the point they were almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!
At the same time, a gigantic Hand Seal emerged!
This Hand Seal seemed to be covered by a layer of Hanbing, crystal-clear and translucent, giving off a mysterious feeling!
"Ice Hand!"
Zhang Xiao suddenly shouted!
In an instant, that enormous Hand Seal slammed toward Luo Qianqiu!
Within the Hand Seal there seemed to be explosive energy. Once released, it could annihilate everything!
The momentum was incredibly terrifying!
At that moment, Luo Qianqiu moved as well!
With one movement his figure was like an illusion, flickering in and out as he charged straight in to meet it head-on!
At the same time, the aura on his body was completely unleashed!
Yet this release stunned everyone present!
It felt as if everyone’s Divine Sense had been sucked out, their souls violently smashed by some inexplicable power!
Because they suddenly discovered—!
Luo Qianqiu had also broken through the Ninth Turn of the Great Supreme Realm and entered the Creation Realm!
Just like Zhang Xiao before, he had hidden his true Cultivation!
The crowd in the square no longer even had the strength to complain!
You two doing this one after another—have you ever considered everyone’s cardiac endurance?!"
And besides, since when was breaking into the Creation Realm this easy?!"
You had to know that in previous Great Court Trials, the Creation Realm had almost never appeared!
Yet this time, two of them had appeared at once!
And judging from the looks of it, Luo Qianqiu’s aura was even thicker and more profound than Zhang Xiao’s!
Zhang Xiao himself was a little terrified now!
He’d broken through too?!
This situation was completely outside the scope of his expectations!
Originally, he could have relied on the advantage of his Cultivation Realm to crush the opponent by force, but now...
At once he gathered all the True Yuan in his body and poured it entirely into that Hand Seal!
If he still held anything back at this point, it wouldn’t be arrogance—it would be stupidity!
Almost at the exact same moment, Luo Qianqiu also struck out!
One sword sliced down, simple to the extreme!
Sword light flashed across the air, spanning space, like silver-white points of light sprinkling across the entire area, decorating it as though the sky were filled with stars!
With that one sword, all chaotic currents above the Douwu Platform froze, and the void itself caved in!
This sword was simple to the utmost—and also powerful to the utmost!
"Boom boom boom~~~"
In an instant, that sword and the gigantic Hand Seal met. At the moment of contact, the enormous Hand Seal was cut into countless pieces!
Of course, much of the sword light was also dispersed, but a portion still howled forward straight at Zhang Xiao!
Zhang Xiao was blasted flying on the spot, and then crashed down onto the Douwu Platform!
"Puchi, puchi!"
Zhang Xiao couldn’t help but spit out two mouthfuls of fresh blood, then fished out a Pill from his robes and swallowed it!
A moment later, he slowly stood up and walked toward Luo Qianqiu!
"All this time, you’ve been first in everyone’s heart. I refused to accept that!"
Zhang Xiao spoke:
"So over these past few years, I pushed myself desperately and finally stepped into the Creation Realm. I thought I could replace you!"
"But I didn’t expect..."
"I concede. You’re first—deservedly so!"
Hearing this, Luo Qianqiu said calmly:
"You’re very good too. Second place really does wrong you."
Everyone who heard this couldn’t help nodding!
Indeed, if not for encountering Luo Qianqiu, in the Great Court Trials of previous years Zhang Xiao would have been the undisputed number one!
"To lose to you—though defeated, I still feel honored!"
If before this Zhang Xiao had still felt some unwillingness toward Luo Qianqiu, by now it was completely gone!
He even felt that Luo Qianqiu had held back just now!
Otherwise, these injuries he had now would be far from all!
"Seems the competition isn’t over yet, is it?"
Just then, a calm voice rang out!
The voice naturally came from Su Chen!
Hearing this voice, everyone finally remembered—there was still another person!
Just now, the conversation between Luo Qianqiu and Zhang Xiao had practically already decided first and second place, while Su Chen had been completely forgotten!
In fact, forget just them—almost everyone had overlooked him!
If he hadn’t suddenly spoken up, no one would even have noticed him!
Because in everyone’s eyes, the battle between Luo Qianqiu and Zhang Xiao was the final fight!
It had just been brought forward a bit, that was all!
This young man named Su Chen was strong—far stronger than they had imagined—but unfortunately...
He had run into Luo Qianqiu and Zhang Xiao!
