On the surface, Chu Tianxiao's advancement to the Soul Initiation realm this time had very few "strange phenomena", far less than the "earth-shaking" ones when he broke through the first two realms...
But in fact, the improvement of strength at this stage is like drinking water, only you know whether it is hot or cold...
The deep water is silent, but the dark bottom is turbulent.
This can be seen from the fire of war that suddenly lit up in the eyes of the man guarding the monument...
"Sorry for the wait..."
Chu Tianxiao shook his sleeves, slowly stood up, looked at the guardian of the monument, smiled and said: "Let's fight."
The words were spoken lightly, but full of confidence.
The keeper of the monument pondered for a moment after hearing this, and looked at him with a hint of envy in his eyes...
Although he possessed great power, that power was not his own after all, and he could not, like Chu Tianxiao, improve himself through promotion and surpass his past...
However, this trace of "envy" was replaced by indifference in the blink of an eye.
The guardian nodded slowly and said, "Very good... You are now qualified to fight me."
"May you grant me peace and relief... But I will not hold back in this battle."
"… clear."
Chu Tianxiao waved his hand, and the Star-Moon Sword was taken out from the Sumeru Ring and held in his palm.
To him, the past of the monument keeper was nothing but a cloud of smoke. What mattered was that this fellow was standing in his way. If he didn't defeat him, he wouldn't be able to completely complete the main quest of Mission III. In the end, he would still be wiped out...
This was enough for him to put aside all distractions and fight with all his might.
"... Excellent." Looking at Chu Tianxiao's appearance, the keeper nodded with a hint of appreciation. Then, he raised his right hand, and stone chips flew all over the place. Amid the smoke and dust, a high platform actually rose from the flat ground...
To be exact, it was a circular arena made of pure jade. On it, there were two strange patterns, like a yin-yang fish symbol, one red and one blue, both glowing with a faint glow...
Chu Tianxiao lowered his eyes slightly after just one glance. He was very knowledgeable and immediately saw that this ring was not only made of extremely durable Aries jade, but also supported the Yin-Yang formation. Fighting in this ring not only could one display their peak strength, but there was basically no need to worry about the ring being damaged due to fighting...
This arena alone is worth more than tens of millions of spirit coins.
"bring it on."
The monument keeper said this indifferently, and then he silently recited a spell. Immediately, a "sword" appeared from his back. He then grasped it with one hand and pulled it hard. A large amount of blood spurted out and it broke out of his body!
It was a bright red long sword... The blade was slender, the edge was red, and there was a red dot on the top that looked like a drop of blood. A long blood-colored streak flowed down from the hilt like a bloody waterfall...
This sword is filled with the aura of murder!
The wound healed in the blink of an eye, and the guardian of the monument who took out the sword was no longer indifferent as before. His aura changed drastically and became murderous!
"The name of the sword is Bloody, it is an ominous sign... There is no way back, please fight!"
He shouted and jumped onto the stage first. Chu Tianxiao was not intimidated by this scene. He reacted in an instant, holding a sword and followed closely behind...
Without any communication etiquette before the battle, a war began directly!
…
…
boom!
There was a loud bang, followed by a brilliant sword light, which fell on the stage like mercury pouring down. In an instant, the solid surface of the stage trembled violently, and then the trembling spread out, and an indescribable energy suddenly burst out from the stage, causing a strong wind to blow around and the ground to shake!
As soon as the battle started, Chu Tianxiao and the monument keeper showed such momentum!
They didn't try to test each other at all, and just let their sword energy and strong winds roll in. They quickly got into the state and continued to accumulate their own sword power!
Two forces swept through, and two rays of light on the ring intersected violently. There were several sounds of blocking, and a figure suddenly shot out from the smoke, like a ferocious goshawk, with sword flowers as graceful as fangs and sharp claws, rushing forward. The opponent was not willing to be outdone, and after a sword energy was just displayed, he opened his mouth and exhaled for a moment. The sword formula came out, and a loud sound was heard. Countless sword lights shot out in an intersecting manner, forming a net!
With a "whoosh" sound, the sword broke through the net, but the intention to leave was gone, and it also disappeared into thin air.
In this fight, the two were evenly matched and it was hard to tell who would win!
With two swish sounds, the two men quickly fell from mid-air, holding the hilt of the sword on the left and right, and their bodies slightly tilted at the same time. Then, like cheetahs running fast, they rushed towards each other almost at the same time!
sonorous!
The Blood Sword and the Star-Moon Sword touched each other again, making a clear sound of metal clashing, and then a burst of energy swept across the entire place, causing the grass and trees to fly and be uprooted inch by inch!
At this moment, the guardian of the monument attacked fiercely, holding the blood-dripping sword, and every move caused blood, residual red, bright red, and crimson, as if to dye the world blood red! Chu Tianxiao held on, his sword moves gracefully, and the sword energy he exuded was neither anxious nor impatient, like a breeze blowing on the face, but as tenacious as a green bamboo, but he was not at a disadvantage!
"Fire!"
The long-term attack seemed to have aroused the anger of the monument keeper. He heard an angry shout, made a feint, and quickly retreated. Then several tiny flames ignited around him, and his eyes quickly turned red. As he howled, the flames quickly spread to the bloody sword, making the sword body, which was already as thick as blood, even more terrifying!
"Hah!" Immediately afterwards, the man guarding the monument took light steps, the sword flowers swirled, and several pillars of fire as thick as children's arms shot up into the sky around him. His entire body seemed to be made of flames, carrying the fire that could burn the world, and he rushed straight towards Chu Tianxiao with the force of a burning sword!
If there were someone with extensive knowledge here, he would surely recognize that this is the long-lost Burning Fire Sword Technique. It is extremely difficult to practice, but once successfully practiced, the sword power will be like fire, setting the prairie on fire and burning the world, unstoppable!
However, despite feeling a surge of anger coming towards him, Chu Tianxiao did not flinch at all. Instead, he focused his eyes and quickly gathered a ray of starlight in his palm...
With the continuous input of Snow Mountain True Essence, the palm of his hand suddenly became bright with starlight!
Then, Chu Tianxiao moved, quickly raising his body, and the Star Moon Sword shone brightly. Countless stars instantly lingered on his sword body, gradually forming a shell. Then, Chu Tianxiao shouted loudly, and the starlight formed a thick sword shell, shining brightly, and suddenly rushed towards the prairie fire!
The Starry Sky Sword, the star shakes the universe!
"Ignorance." Seeing this, the monument keeper smiled coldly, then took a step forward. The fire suddenly increased a little more, and the burning flames turned into raging fire dragons. As the monument keeper raised his finger slightly, they suddenly roared and rushed out angrily!
brush!
Xing Zhen Qian Kun quickly touched the fire dragon!
With a bang!
After the loud bang, the fire dragon was seen to be shattered into pieces. With a few flicks, its head, limbs and other parts turned into powder and fell down!
But at the same time, Xing Zhen Qian Kun also used old moves, and the light of the heavy sword was uncertain, and most of it dissipated...
"snort… "
Seeing that both sides were injured, the monument keeper snorted coldly, and the bloody sword flew out of his hand quickly. It suddenly puffed in the air, and flames appeared on its body. Then a dragon roar was heard - it turned into a giant fire dragon that was several times larger than the one before. Its pair of flaming eyes stared coldly at Chu Tianxiao, which was chilling!
Then, the monument keeper jumped up quickly and grabbed the dragon's head with one hand. Without making any movements to ride the dragon, he directly dragged the giant fiery red dragon straight towards Chu Tianxiao!
With the determined and cold face of the monument keeper and the endless red sea of fire around him, the scene can truly be described as spectacular!
It was also unexpected.
No one could have imagined that the monument keeper would use such a brutal attack when his moves were exhausted, pulling a fire dragon with one hand, and with both man and sword out, he launched a cool attack towards Chu Tianxiao!
“Interesting…” Upon seeing this, not only was there no fear in Chu Tianxiao’s eyes, but a hint of fighting spirit ignited. Then, he quickly deployed the Nine Transformations of Dragon Escape, and moved his feet slightly backward to take advantage of the momentum. In that instant, he suddenly grabbed the Star-Moon Sword, and countless starlight suddenly gathered into the shape of a dragon. With a wild roar, the dust around him flew up, and all the grass was uprooted!
Then
Chu Tianxiao performed almost the same action as the monument keeper. He suddenly grabbed the neck of the Starlight Dragon, roared, jumped up, and rushed straight towards the monument keeper!
The movements of both parties seemed to be the same, but if there were an expert on the scene, he could easily spot the difference - Chu Tianxiao was not like the monument keeper, dragging the fire dragon forward synchronously. He... moved much faster than the struggling star dragon!
In other words, the guardian of the monument wanted to merge with the fire dragon and use its fierce force to strengthen his offensive, while Chu Tianxiao... he, he... wanted to throw the star dragon out as a projectile!
It can be said that the power flow is brought into full play!
In fact, it was only after Chu Tianxiao entered the Soul Awakening Realm that he could be so "willful" and perform this kind of "Star Shocking the Universe" with ease...
But even so, this move does not seem to be a wise choice - the monument keeper's move was unexpected and he had gained the upper hand, but he did not avoid the challenge, but instead faced it head-on, rushing forward from a low position and having a hard fight
