A surging sword force erupted from Liou Yuan’s body, causing the Canglan Sword to tremble incessantly.
At this moment, Liou Yuan was already engulfed in the illusion of towering waves, his momentum reaching its peak.
"Shock Tide!"
Bang! An overwhelming sword radiance rippled outwards, transforming into waves that surged around.
Clang clang clang!! The chains that had previously appeared unstoppable now emitted weakened groans under this final sword strike of Shock Tide.
Finally, with a roar, they exploded violently.
The chains were shattered and dissolved into mist within the Cloud Manipulation Skill.
Surrounded by sword force, Liou Yuan found his vision unblocked by the chains, feeling a peculiar clarity ahead.
At the same time, his eyes gleamed with a purple light, locking onto Liou Tao’s position.
"Using the same spell twice is useless." Liou Yuan laughed loudly, stomping his foot, and with the support of Treading Flowing Waves, shot towards the hidden location of Liou Tao.
Breaking through layers of mist, Liou Yuan saw Liou Tao’s concealed position in the boiling center of the mist.
The latter now stood there leisurely, seemingly waiting for Liou Yuan for quite a while.
The mist rolled beneath him, lifting Liou Tao’s body into the air.
Liou Tao looked down at Liou Yuan from above, with a condescending gaze in his dark eyes.
"I knew those chains wouldn’t hold you; you’re always this troublesome."
Liou Yuan said nothing, his gaze heavy on the swirling mist under Liou Tao’s feet, which began to condense under the latter’s spell.
Transforming into a foggy saber nearly thirty meters long.
Liou Tao stood atop the blade, his black hair swaying in the mist, almost covering his forehead.
Liou Yuan no longer dared to say anything like the same spell getting old after two uses.
He felt a great sense of crisis from that foggy saber.
"I wonder if my Blood Absorption Skill can withstand this saber strike."
Liou Yuan evaluated the blade under Liou Tao’s feet, comparing it with his own Blood Absorption Skill.
Both were C-level skills, yet clearly, Liou Yuan’s mastery of Blood Absorption was far inferior to Liou Tao.
He felt that he probably couldn’t take on this saber.
"This Cloud Manipulation Flash can kill someone at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, can you handle it?" Liou Tao spoke lightly, standing atop the mist blade with arrogance.
With that, he pointed a finger at Liou Yuan through the air.
Bang! The foggy saber slashed horizontally.
Wherever the blade passed, the air was torn by the power condensed on the edge, and a deafening roar shook the atmosphere.
"A C-level skill practiced to small success, damn it’s troublesome!" Liou Yuan cursed, knowing he dared not face this strike head-on.
He controlled the Stepping Wave Body Skill, retreating rapidly backwards.
Boom! The ground beneath emitted a thunderous crash.
Where Liou Yuan had been moments before, the saber descended, leaving a trench over ten yards long.
The surrounding earth trembled from the saber strike.
With Treading Flowing Waves enhancing him, Liou Yuan narrowly evaded the saber’s assault.
However, the energy backlash from the saber striking the ground still hit Liou Yuan, causing his body to veer off course.
Liou Yuan adjusted his stance, not sparing the foggy saber a glance, and operated Treading Flowing Waves to retreat swiftly.
He may not be confident in withstanding Liou Tao’s attack, but it didn’t mean the foggy saber would definitely hit him.
His current strategy was to leverage his body technique advantage, forcing the spell’s duration to end.
"A C-level skill consumes so much Spiritual Power, especially one with such power; I wonder how long you can maintain it."
Liou Yuan’s figure transformed into a dazzling blue light, weaving through the mist at high speed.
Behind him, Liou Tao stood leisurely atop the blade, pursuing relentlessly.
Every drop of the saber blade could trigger a deafening roar within the rolling misty canyon.
The Stepping Wave Body Skill indeed was fast, a skill Liou Yuan cultivated to small success, bringing him victories in battle.
But this time felt different from before.
After dodging the giant blade thrice, Liou Yuan sensed something amiss.
The familiar crash of chains resounded amidst the swirling mist again.
Liou Tao, seeing his spells repeatedly fail to capture Liou Yuan, stood atop the mist blade and once more cast the chain skill to trap his foe.
Countless chains sealed all directions, forming within the array, blocking Liou Yuan’s retreat.
With Liou Tao wielding the giant blade chasing from behind, and tightly woven mist chains intercepting in front, Liou Yuan found himself with nowhere to retreat.
"Run!" Liou Tao taunted, standing atop the giant blade, looking down at Liou Yuan who had come to a standstill, his words filled with mockery.
As the words fell, Liou Tao’s actions didn’t pause, he pointed in the air.
The giant blade and the approaching mist chains simultaneously enclosed Liou Yuan, who had no escape.
Still maintaining Treading Flowing Waves, Liou Yuan, finding no path to retreat, stopped running and casually turned, flipping off Liou Tao.
On his face was no hint of fear Liou Tao expected to see.
Instead, he wore a sly grin.
"You’re always so confident."
As these words fell.
Whiz! In the layered fog, a piercing sound sharply broke through.
Behind Liou Tao, from the trench carved by the mist blade, shot out an emerald sword light.
The sword light moved too quickly; the sound barely registered before the blade was less than three feet from Liou Tao’s back.
Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects.
The sword light was the Canglan Sword.
Looking closely, Liou Yuan’s hands were now empty, except that his right index and middle fingers held the spell.
