Austin, who was about to attack Yang Qi, felt this sudden change and his face suddenly turned ugly.
“Damn it, why at this time…” Austin was annoyed. If the Holy Grail hadn’t been damaged, the Holy Array of Light would have lasted longer and could have killed Yang Qi and the other two. But now, it only severely injured Long Yi and North.
The loss of ten ascetics is also a huge loss for the Holy See, which has a profound foundation. It will be impossible to restore the strength of the ascetics without one or two hundred years.
"We can't let him live." Although he felt sad for the ten ascetics who died, Austin understood that if he let Yang Qi leave this time, the Holy See of Light might not have a chance to unify the spiritual world.
Whoosh~
With a tap of his foot, Austin instantly rushed towards Yang Qi. At this time, Yang Qi seemed to be stunned and did not even notice the coming of Austin.
"Oh no, Yang Qi is still in the process of enlightenment." In the distance, the seriously injured Long Yi saw this scene and his face suddenly changed. Yang Qi was comprehending the sword intent and could not fight back at all. This could be said to be the time when Yang Qi was the weakest.
"It's too late." Long Yi supported his seriously injured body and wanted to rush over to save Yang Qi. Unfortunately, he found that due to his serious injury, it was too late to save Yang Qi.
"Not good, Yang Qi should still be in the process of enlightenment."
The Southern Xinjiang Saint Lord and others, who had originally felt a glimmer of hope, could not help but change their expressions. They were caught in an epiphany in the life-and-death fight. This was almost an act of seeking death!
Unfortunately, as luck would have it, Yang Qi was immersed in enlightenment. In this state, how could he resist Austin, who was stronger than him.
“Dragon Roar!”
Suddenly, Long Yi growled and a sharp whistle came out of his mouth. This sound was not directed at Austin, but at Yang Qi.
There was no time to save Yang Qi, so Long Yi could only wake Yang Qi up.
"Even if you understand the sword's meaning, you are dead this time." Austin waved the scepter in his hand, and it turned into a sharp white light and shot towards Yang Qi.
Seeing that the white light was getting closer and closer to Yang Qi, and Yang Qi still showed no signs of waking up, the strong men from the Chinese cultivation world and the Dark Council suddenly showed a look of despair. Yang Qi was dead, and they had completely lost this battle.
Just when the white light was about to fall on Yang Qi, Yang Qi suddenly opened his eyes and used the long sword in his hand to directly block the oncoming white light.
“Puff~”
The long sword swept across, and the white light was actually directly shattered.
"How is that possible!"
Seeing Yang Qi break his attack with one move, Austin was in disbelief. He had just comprehended the sword intent, but how could he use it so skillfully
Austin had no idea that what Yang Qi had inherited was the legacy of the Martial Emperor. Sword power was only the foundation of the way of the sword. Emperor Haoyang naturally would not care too much about it. After all, sword power was only a transition. Only by comprehending the sword meaning could one truly embark on the path of the way of the sword.
Emperor Haoyang left behind a lot of inherited memories about the sword intent. As long as Yang Qi comprehends the sword intent, he will be able to unlock these memories. Yang Qi did not move just now. In addition to his sudden realization, he was also absorbing these memories.
Now he has completely absorbed it. Although he has just comprehended the sword intent, when it comes to the application of the sword intent, even an ordinary sword intent practitioner who has achieved a small level of success is not as good as Yang Qi.
Whoosh~
Before Austin could come to his senses, Yang Qi's figure had turned into a shadow, and the sword in his hand went straight to Austin.
The seemingly ordinary sword actually gave Austin an irresistible feeling.
"Damn it." Austin roared, and the energy in his body was madly urged. The scepter turned into a curtain of light and blocked Yang Qi's sword.
Poof!
The sword flashed, the light curtain shattered, blood splattered, and a deep wound appeared on Austin's body.
"In a head-on fight, I'm no match for him?" Austin was shocked. Yang Qi's cultivation level had hardly changed. He had only comprehended the sword intent. With the cultivation level of a one-star martial arts master, he could actually hurt a strong man who was close to a three-star martial arts master.
Comprehending the sword intent, Yang Qi had a deeper understanding of the sword tactics. The power of each sword could be brought to the extreme, while Austin was only a little successful in sword skills. The difference in skills between the two was too big. Even if Yang Qi's strength was not as good as his, he could still easily suppress him with the sword intent.
Facing Yang Qi who had comprehended the sword intent, Austin instantly fell into a disadvantage and was completely suppressed by Yang Qi. He had more and more wounds on his body, and his gorgeous holy run was stained with blood.
"Damn it, if this goes on, I might die here." Austin's face was extremely gloomy. Yang Qi's strength was beyond his expectations. If the fight continued, he might be exhausted to death by Yang Qi.
"withdraw!"
Yang Qi had already posed a huge threat to him. Not far away, Long Yi was recovering from his injuries. Once his injuries stabilized, he would face the siege of two martial masters. In the fight between martial masters, the death of ten ascetics put the Holy See of Light at a complete disadvantage.
Yang Qi still has help, while the Holy See of Light is already struggling to take care of itself. Austin understands very well that the Holy See of Light has lost this battle.
"Walk!"
Austin gave the order directly, and the next moment, he also retreated out of the canyon.
"Want to leave?"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and the long sword in his hand shook. Countless sword lights surged, and then turned into a point and stabbed towards Austin.
"Stop it for me."
Austin roared, and urged the scepter desperately, and a sharp spear met the sword light.
"Boom~"
With a loud bang, Austin's body was blown away and hit the cliff hard, leaving a bloody hole on his chest.
Whoosh~
Austin's face changed, and he stepped forward and flew out of the canyon and fled into the distance.
Looking at Austin who was running away, Yang Qi did not chase after him. It was not that he did not want to kill Austin, but the energy in his body was almost exhausted. Before he comprehended the sword intent, he only had about 30% of his energy left in his body. Now after fighting with Austin, there was nothing left.
As soon as Austin withdrew, the morale of the Holy See of Light dropped sharply, and they retreated one after another without even the intention of fighting. How could the Dark Council and the Chinese cultivation world miss such a good opportunity? They chased them all the way for dozens of miles, leaving behind nearly two hundred corpses before withdrawing.
"Yang Qi, it's a good thing that you broke through at the critical moment this time, otherwise we would all be dead, and the Chinese cultivation world and the Dark Council would be finished." Long Yi, whose injuries were more stable, looked at Yang Qi and said.
If Yang Qi had not suddenly realized the sword intent at the last moment, three martial masters would have died in this battle, and Austin would have been the only martial master left in the cultivation world. Even most of the elites in China's cultivation world would have died in Europe. By then, it would not take long for the Holy See of Light to unify the entire cultivation world.
"I was really lucky this time. If Austin's formation hadn't suddenly disappeared, I wouldn't be a match for that huge Saint Emperor phantom." Yang Qi said with a wry smile. Even if he understood the sword intent and burst out with all his strength, his strength was only close to that of a three-star martial master, far from being a match for the Saint Emperor phantom that was comparable to a five-star martial master.
Thus, this battle that affected the structure of the cultivation world ended with the victory of the Chinese cultivation world and the Dark Council Alliance. (To be continued)
