Chapter 641: Chapter 257: First Victory, Blood Curse, The True Monarchs’ Bewilderment

At this point, neither of them hesitated any longer.

"My Dharma Name is Cang Sword. I ask for your instruction, Xiao!"

Master Cangjian walked onto the stage carrying his Flying Sword and performed a beautiful sword salute.

Xiao Chen cupped his fist in response. "It’s hardly instruction. Just a friendly exchange."

The two completed their salutes.

The referee immediately threw the red cloth ball into the air.

"You are immensely powerful, Xiao. Therefore, I will hold nothing back with this next strike."

Master Cangjian placed his hand on the hilt in a reverse grip and took the initiative to warn, "This will be my strongest strike. As such, I will be unable to control my blade and show mercy."

"This sword once slew a Golden Core Tribulation Cultivator. I urge you to be ready!"

Xiao Chen was a little curious. "Aren’t you afraid I’ll prepare in advance and break your Sword Technique?"

Master Cangjian’s eyes were firm as he replied without hesitation, "If you can withstand this sword, Xiao, I will gladly concede defeat."

DONG~!

The red cloth ball hit the ground.

"Cang Lang!"

A piercing sword cry rang out.

Master Cangjian instantly drew his sword and slashed. "Sword Shatters the Heavens!"

Normally, Cultivators would prioritize Defense during Magical Combat.

But for Sword Cultivators, especially those at the highest level, the best defense has always been a good offense.

Especially since Master Cangjian had already realized that Xiao Chen was no simple foe, he used his ultimate Sword Technique from the very start, hoping to seize the initiative.

With the downward swing of the Flying Sword in his hand, a colossal sword, a thousand zhang long and condensed from True Essence, came slashing down from above.

The wind it generated alone whistled, lashing the skin of the surrounding Loose Cultivators until it stung.

SMACK!

A pair of hands suddenly shot up and clasped together, catching the giant sword as it fell from the sky.

Before the thousand-zhang-long sword, the nine-foot-tall Xiao Chen looked exceptionally tiny.

If the enormous blade fell just another foot, it looked as though it would pierce his skull.

Yet, it was stopped in midair, unable to move another inch!

It even looked as if Xiao Chen was the one holding the colossal sword aloft.

"What!"

"My heavens! Xiao actually caught that attack with his bare hands!"

"I... I... I, where’s my Memory Stone? I have to record this!"

The Loose Cultivators instantly erupted, unable to believe what they were seeing.

But in the next moment, Xiao Chen actually let go!

He calmly lowered his hands to his sides, ceasing to support the sword.

This action immediately stunned everyone.

’What’s going on?’

’What’s happened?’

’Is he giving up his position as defender?’

All sorts of thoughts flashed through the crowd’s minds, but their gazes immediately focused on the giant sword in the air.

However, the giant sword, though clearly no longer obstructed, remained suspended in midair as if it were a mere illusion.

CRACK~!

Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound was heard.

Immediately after, before everyone’s incredulous eyes, the giant sword began to crack inch by inch, covered in a dense web of fissures.

Finally, the entire giant sword shattered into tens of thousands of fragments, dissolving into the air as raw Spiritual Qi.

Only then did the crowd realize what had happened.

It turned out that when Xiao Chen had clapped his hands together, he had not only stopped the giant sword but had also completely shattered it from the inside.

In other words, he had stood his ground, taken his opponent’s strongest Sword Technique head-on with his bare hands, and broken it!

After realizing this, the entire arena area fell into silence.

Everyone’s mouths hung open, but they didn’t know what to say.

"Since you were kind enough to warn me, let me return the favor."

Xiao Chen spoke unhurriedly, "It might hurt a little if you get knocked off the stage."

Hearing this, Master Cangjian immediately snapped back to his senses, a wry smile appearing on his face.

He then performed another sword salute. "Your strength is profound, Xiao. I am thoroughly outmatched!"

"I surrender!"
