This move was something Liou Yuan learned from Ji Jie, leaving his weapon in an unexpected place, then relying on the speed of the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects to launch a sudden attack.
That day, Liou Yuan couldn’t evade Ji Jie’s sneak attack, and similarly, Liou Tao couldn’t avoid this strike.
As expected, when the sword edge came attacking, Liou Tao had no chance of dodging.
He could only muster all his strength to use the Fog Skill, condensing a fog wall in front of him, trying to block Liou Yuan’s strike.
However, Liou Yuan had prepared for this strike for a long time; there was no way Liou Tao could just dodge it like that.
At the moment when the fog wall was about to form.
"Roar!" A terrifying sound wave erupted from Liou Yuan’s throat.
The sound wave shook out as if it were tangible, covering nearly a hundred feet around.
The surrounding fog was shockingly dispersed to reveal a vacuum area due to this roar.
As the sound wave covered his body, Liou Tao shuddered, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and his Spiritual Power was shattered by the Lion’s Roar Spell.
The Lion’s Roar Spell at the Great Achievement Realm was invincible in this Qi Cultivation Realm.
Puff! Liou Tao’s defense ultimately did not form.
The fog wall’s prototype was easily pierced by the Canglan Sword, the sword edge stabbed into Liou Tao’s body, and blood splattered instantly.
It was a pity that Liou Yuan had only just begun to learn the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects and couldn’t yet use this Artifact Control Skill to perform the Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill.
Otherwise, with Liou Yuan using Rain Curtain Stealth in this strike, the battle could already have ended.
Even so, being struck by the Canglan Sword carrying the Sushui Sword Aura, Liou Tao was also severely wounded.
The sword edge pierced through his chest and exited through his waist, the wound gushing blood like a spring.
Liou Tao suffered severe injuries; his figure was unstable, nearly falling off that large knife.
"Die!" Killing intent surged in Liou Yuan’s eyes, controlling the Canglan Sword to change direction, intending to seize this opportunity to cut off Liou Tao’s head.
Clang clang clang! The chains that previously wrapped around Liou Yuan swept in front of Liou Tao at this time, protecting his body within.
The Canglan Sword ultimately struck the chain and did not further harm Liou Tao.
"Indeed, this move can only be used once." Liou Yuan cursed inwardly, twisting his fingers to recall the Canglan Sword.
The moment before, Liou Tao, who was spitting blood from the blade, endured the severe pain and formed a spell with his fingers.
Whoosh! A beam of spiritual light shot out from the chain.
It accurately struck the body of the Canglan Sword.
The Canglan Sword, previously at Liou Yuan’s disposal, now felt as if it had been infused with a thousand pounds of molten iron after the spiritual light hit.
It fell heavily to the ground, piercing into the earth between the two of them.
Liou Yuan looked at the Canglan Sword, its sword edge tightly gripped by a silver magical artifact ring.
That silver artifact ring was like a shackle, sealing the Canglan Sword magical artifact there, and Liou Yuan could no longer command it.
"I knew your swordsmanship was formidable, this magical artifact is specially used to counter you." From within the chains, though Liou Tao’s voice was weak, the cold tone sent chills down one’s spine.
"What else can you do now?"
As the words fell, the chains dispersed, and the blood-covered Liou Tao appeared within Liou Yuan’s sight.
His blood had stained the blade beneath his feet, turning the fog blade into a blood blade.
The crimson glow flickered, emitting a more intense killing intent than before.
Because Liou Zhen was renowned for his swordsmanship, and Liou Yuan’s swordsmanship was also not weak, he was somewhat famous in the Five Extremes Mountain.
So, whether it was Pan Yang or Liou Tao, their tactics against Liou Yuan focused on his swordsmanship.
They all believed that by crippling Liou Yuan’s swordsmanship, they could handle him.
Seeing this similar scene playing out again, Liou Yuan chuckled disdainfully: "You must be disappointed; I have many skills."
As the words fell, Liou Yuan’s body trembled, the blood energy surged around his body, coagulating a layer of blood-colored shroud on his body.
C-Level Skill Blood Imperial Spell: Blood Absorption Skill.
Liou Yuan’s mastery of the Blood Absorption Skill was far inferior to Liou Tao’s mastery of Cloud Manipulation.
Though both are C-level skills, the power differs naturally with different realms of cultivation.
Moreover, that knife blade of Liou Tao’s was also activated with his vital blood, making it even more powerful; Liou Yuan couldn’t block it with Blood Absorption Skill alone.
Therefore, after the Blood Absorption Skill.
Liou Yuan’s entire Spiritual Power began to flow toward his eyes.
His pair of Evil Eyes greedily absorbed Liou Yuan’s Spiritual Power like a sponge.
After Liou Yuan had almost channeled all his Spiritual Power into the Evil Eyes.
Boom! The purple hue in his pupils burst out, transforming into two purple beams shooting out from his eyes.
Simultaneously, the Spiritual Power that previously flowed into the Evil Eyes returned to his body.
The current Spiritual Power now carried an enchanting deep purple color.
Liou Yuan’s aura surged, leaping from the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer to the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.
The transformation in Liou Yuan made Liou Tao’s eyes contract.
Seeing the purple Spiritual Power rising from Liou Yuan’s body, he couldn’t help but sense that his cultivation had now reached the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.
Liou Yuan was already extremely difficult to deal with at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, and now, by somehow raising his cultivation to the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, Liou Tao’s hope of winning grew even slimmer.
Yet, the killing intent within his heart still drove Liou Tao to swing this blood blade.
"So what if it’s the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer? This blade of mine kills even the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer." For the first time, Liou Tao’s voice carried an undercurrent of bluster.
Boom! The blood-colored blade light descended from the sky.
Enhanced by vital blood, the speed of this strike was nearly doubled compared to before.
It descended upon Liou Yuan from above.
This time, Liou Yuan did not dodge.
He suddenly lifted his head, directly facing the exaggeratedly large blood-colored blade, raising his arm, as the Blood Absorption Skill surged, condensing a layer of blood-colored gloves on his hand.
His entire blood energy, like boiling water, raged up.
Boom! Blood color vibrated, and Liou Yuan swung a punch, bringing up overwhelming blood light.
His fist collided with the blood-colored blade, a pure contest of strength with no technique.
Rumble! The vast blood-colored energy exploded between Liou Yuan and Liou Tao.
Swallowing both their figures within it.
Fast forward slightly.
A crisp sound was heard.
At the center of the energy shockwave, the blood-colored blade assembled by Liou Tao shattered inch by inch, finally dissipating into mist into the air.
Within the center of the imperceptible blood energy, a blue figure soared skyward, heading straight for Liou Tao, who had yet to land.
