Chapter 1881: Dare to Fight Without Weapons?

Clang!

Though the Devouring Yuan Bead was merely a Meridian Technique deployed by Xiang Wenyuan using Mixed Element Qi, when the Dragon Taming Sword struck it, it emitted a crisp clash of metal.

This sharp sound seemed to resonate in the minds and hearts of the spectators, leading them to believe that the Wooden Sword might be completely devoured in the next moment, after all, they had heard of the reputation of Mixed Element Qi countless times.

Yet, moments later, the unassuming Wooden Sword did indeed have its tip immersed into the body of the Devouring Yuan Bead, but the scene imagined by the crowd appeared to be different than expected.

They saw the sword tip plunge into the Devouring Yuan Bead, and instead of being devoured, the Black Light Sword Point pierced through the other side of the bead shortly after.

The entire process seemed to have taken merely a breath, and it appeared that the Devouring Yuan Bead did not engulf the Dragon Taming Sword, but rather the Wooden Sword had pierced through the bead.

"Damn it, what on earth is that weapon?"

Unlike the spectators, when the tip of the Dragon Taming Sword sank into the Devouring Yuan Bead, Xiang Wenyuan immediately sensed something was amiss, being the person involved, he had a clearer sensing of it compared to those on the outside.

This was Xiang Wenyuan’s unbeatable Devouring Yuan Bead, augmented with his thirty years of cultivating the formidable Mixed Element Qi, much stronger than ordinary Meridian Techniques.

Unfortunately, Xiang Wenyuan placed too much confidence in his own Devouring Yuan Bead, underestimating the opponent’s strength, leading to the current setback.

Seeing the sword tip of the Dragon Taming Sword emerge from the other side of the Devouring Yuan Bead, Xiang Wenyuan realized his Meridian Technique was flawed this time, yet he was the type to accept defeat gracefully, not dwelling on momentary gain or loss.

Whoosh!

As the tip of the Wooden Sword was about to pierce through the Earth Devouring Pearl, creating a gaping hole in his body, Xiang Wenyuan could no longer underestimate this unassuming Wooden Sword.

In a swift decision, the prodigy of Mixed Element Valley deftly dodged to the left, his speed unrivaled, even surrounded by the distinctive Mixed Element Qi.

Following Xiang Wenyuan’s timely evasion, the Dragon Taming Sword finally pierced through the core of the Devouring Yuan Bead, grazing past his side, a hair’s breadth away from piercing his heart.

Crash!

Due to Xiang Wenyuan’s frantic dodge, with the Devouring Yuan Bead being pierced by the Dragon Taming Sword, the bead could no longer hold itself together, shattering explosively and sending energy scattering, causing nearby spectators to hurriedly retreat.

"Defeated again!"

A tidal wave of shock arose in the hearts of many, even though Xiang Wenyuan still hovered mid-air, showing no obvious signs of defeat, in their hearts, this was his second defeat.

The Thousand Yuan Shuttle from earlier didn’t withstand a moment against Lian Yunxing’s Wooden Sword, being obliterated, resulting in Xiang Wenyuan losing a Low Level Holy Rank weapon directly.

Afterward, even the Low Level Holy Rank Meridian Technique, the Devouring Yuan Bead, fortified by special Mixed Element Qi from Mixed Element Valley, was surprisingly equally inadequate.

Many people attributed this outcome to the peculiar Wooden Sword of Yun Xing, but it’s not just about having a good weapon, but also how it is used.

Take Xiang Wenyuan, for example, his Thousand Yuan Shuttle had reached a Low Level Holy Rank, yet ultimately it was destroyed under that Wooden Sword, undeniably lamentable.

Weapons are but inanimate, the true power lies in how the owner wields it; at this moment, Yun Xiao was undoubtedly mastering that unassuming Wooden Sword to its peak.

At this moment, even Lu Zhanbai found himself developing a touch of apprehension towards that Wooden Sword, silently vowing to be on high alert if he were to battle Yun Xiao again in the future.

"Why does that Wooden Sword look so familiar?"

Unlike Lu Zhanbai, Jiang Jingyu from Chongxiao Sect beside him, saw the flying Wooden Sword, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered seeing it somewhere before.

In fact, during a battle in the Chongxiao Stairs Space years ago, Jiang Jingyu had fought with Yun Xiao, and at that time, the Dragon Taming Sword had appeared before him.

It’s just that after over a year, with Yun Xiao disguising his appearance, Jiang Jingyu hadn’t recalled it temporarily, not considering that Yun Xiao, merely at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm then, could reach the Half-step Holy Rank in such a short time.

"Boy, I’ll have your life!"

Putting aside the spectators’ thoughts, Xiang Wenyuan, who had faced two setbacks in a row, couldn’t stomach it, and dodging the Dragon Taming Sword’s strike, he roared fiercely.

Swoosh!

Yet at this moment, a black light suddenly made a turn in the air, and once again angrily attacked him, the genius of the Mixed Element Valley, causing his face to change drastically.

"What’s going on?"

Seeing this scene, not only was Xiang Wenyuan stunned, but everyone else was also dumbfounded, because they all knew what a weapon that could bend in the air meant.

If it were some Holy Rank experts, they might be able to use powerful space power to control the trajectory of a thrown weapon, but that was something only top Supreme Saint Realm experts could achieve.

Below that level, to make a weapon that has been out of hand for a long time attack an enemy as if directed by one’s will, perhaps there is only one answer that comes naturally to mind.

"Ancient Divine Artifact!"

Wu Jiantong, the genius of the Holy Doctor Alliance, took a deep breath and finally spoke the answer that had been stuck in Duan Wuwei’s throat for a long time, making him subconsciously let out a long sigh.

"Who exactly is our brother Yun Xing?"

Duan Wuwei stared at the white-clothed young man who remained composed, only changing the seal in his hand, while frantically speculating about Yun Xiao’s background, yet no matter how he racked his brains, he couldn’t think of any genius in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud named Yun Xing.

But such things as Ancient Divine Artifacts, even in those great sects and families, would likely be treasures of the clan or sect, how could they be easily handed over to a young genius?

"Could he really be the descendant of the Four Great Families?"

Wu Jiantong’s eyes flashed with brilliance, because as far as he knew, the headquarters of the Four Great Families seemed to have secretly stored some Ancient Divine Artifacts, though no one had ever seen them.

The Four Great Families have always been closely linked, which was evident when Yun Xiao defended Ouyang Yi earlier. Now, taking out an Ancient Divine Artifact, many would think along these lines, not just Wu Jiantong.

These onlookers were only shocked by the turn of the Dragon Taming Sword, but as the involved party, in addition to the shock, Xiang Wenyuan also had something to do, which was to save his life.

"Damn it, how could this kid possess an Ancient Divine Artifact?"

Even though Xiang Wenyuan angrily cursed in his heart, he was even more convinced that he couldn’t take it head-on. He was originally quite afraid of the Dragon Taming Sword, but knowing it was an Ancient Divine Artifact, he dared not let it touch him at all.

As such, a peculiar scene unfolded in the sky, where a top talent from the Mixed Element Valley at the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage, was chased all over the sky by an unassuming wooden sword, not daring to stop his steps.

Witnessing this scene, many cultivators below looked at each other, was this still the superior Xiang Wenyuan? Was this still a genius at the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage?

At this moment, everyone sensed clearly that Yun Xiao was still exuding the air of a half-step Holy Rank, without any concealment. Given this, it was probably all due to the Ancient Divine Artifact Wood Sword’s prowess.

Many people’s eyes were filled with heat and greed, especially the Third Young Master of Lu Family, Lu Zhanbai, who now felt a blend of greed and fear.

After all, that wooden sword was so beguiling, if it were used unexpectedly, it might leave people defenseless and caught off guard. Back in Ancient Wood City, if this guy had used that wooden sword, he might not be standing here now.

"If I could possess that Ancient Divine Artifact Wooden Sword..."

Lu Zhanbai thought extensively, but upon discovering an Ancient Divine Artifact, anyone would be unable to resist such temptation. Possessing this Ancient Divine Artifact could enhance his combat power by several folds.

Below, everyone’s thoughts varied, as Xiang Wenyuan, chased all over by the Dragon Taming Sword, was already drenched in sweat, his face as dark as if dripping water. He genuinely dared not face that strange wooden sword head-on.

Even Xiang Wenyuan dared not take out other weapons to block, knowing that the consequence of blocking would be his weapon’s destruction. Why then make futile efforts?

With Xiang Wenyuan’s Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage cultivation, the Dragon Taming Sword was fast, but hurting him was impossible. Yet a top genius from the Mixed Element Sect, chased up and down the sky by a wooden sword, was an utter disgrace for him.

"Kid, if you have the guts, don’t use the weapon, dare to face me in a battle of three hundred rounds?"

After being chased for dozens of breaths, Xiang Wenyuan suddenly had an epiphany and shouted during his flight, causing the faces of onlookers to show a peculiar expression.

In these onlookers’ hearts, the white-clothed youth Yun Xing would never agree to Xiang Wenyuan’s request, for they knew this was probably Yun Xing’s strongest trump card.

Since he had already gained the upper hand using the Ancient Divine Artifact Wooden Sword, why not use this opportunity to corner Xiang Wenyuan? Only a fool would do as Xiang Wenyuan says, right?

Almost no one believed Yun Xiao would retract his long sword, as he was merely at the level of half-step Holy Rank. Without the threat of that wooden sword, the situation might just reverse.
