"Two flowers!"

A gleam flashed through Lin Fei's eyes. Dominance! Jiang Tianyun before him was indeed dominant. The overbearing aura brought forth by the two flowers was terrifying.

Ever since Lin Fei achieved Saber Momentum Transcendence, it was the first time he felt suppressed in terms of aura. The surrounding crowd, even the three Limit Martial Saints behind Lin Fei, struggled under this pressure, taking steps back.

"Vice Hall Master Lin..."

Lin Fei waved dismissively. The enforcement hall martial saints behind him ceased to speak.

One step, two steps, three...

Jiang Tianyun steadily advanced toward Lin Fei. With every step he took, the aura radiating from Jiang Tianyun grew even more fearsome. Even Lin Fei's Saber Momentum was slowly being pressed to its limits. A peculiar light flickered in Lin Fei's eyes.

"You possess the Qi Flower, do you think I do not?"

In the next moment, the saber essence within Lin Fei erupted. A tremendous wave of saber essence swept out in all directions. At the same time, above Lin Fei's head, a flower appeared. It was the Qi Flower! As soon as Lin Fei's Qi Flower manifested, his aura surged like a tidal wave, directly pressing back against Jiang Tianyun.

Moreover, Lin Fei took a forceful step toward Jiang Tianyun. A resonating hum echoed two terrifying auras, collided in an instant.

Lin Fei's Qi Flower, even when unleashed on its own, surpassed the Qi Flower of others. More so, Lin Fei's Qi Flower was intimately connected with the Saber Momentum.

Lin Fei's saber essence was the fusion of True Essence and Saber Momentum. Therefore, when Lin Fei unleashed his Qi Flower, the might of his Saber Momentum and Qi Flower almost blended into one. Instantly, the potency of Lin Fei's Saber Momentum surged, counter-pressuring Jiang Tianyun as Lin Fei took a step.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Tianyun's expression subtly shifted. Since he had manifested those two flowers, never had he been suppressed during combat. But now, at least in terms of aura, he was being suppressed! Of course, perhaps 'suppression' was too strong a word. The forces were evenly matched, neither side showing a clear advantage in their aura.

With a whoosh, in the next moment, Jiang Tianyun transformed into a streak of light, soaring straight into the void. Clearly, he still held reservations about damaging the Illusion Worry City.

Lin Fei's expression remained calm. He took a step forward, soaring similarly into the void.

In the vastness of the void, Lin Fei and Jiang Tianyun stood off from a distance.

"You are the first opponent to ever match me in aura!"

Jiang Tianyun declared coldly, His eyes held a trace of seriousness.

"You too are the first to challenge me post my Saber Momentum Transcendence, preventing me from suppressing you with my Saber Momentum."

Lin Fei also held no contempt for Jiang Tianyun. Manifesting the Energy Flower and Qi Flower, Jiang Tianyun was evidently no ordinary adversary.

"Ha! But Lin Fei, you have still underestimated me. You possess Saber Momentum, do you think I lack martial momentum? Sword, come forth!"

With a gesture from Jiang Tianyun, the scabbard on his back trembled slightly. Following that, a silvery blade gleamed as it shot out.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

A sword! A blade that shone with undeniable sharpness! And as Jiang Tianyun gripped its hilt, a surge of martial prowess evolved instantly.

Sword Momentum! Jiang Tianyun was exuding Sword Momentum. Though not at transcendence, it was certainly in its mastery phase. Particularly under the support of his twin-flower aura, Jiang Tianyun's aura surged overwhelmingly, enveloping the skies as it bore down on Lin Fei.

"Sword Momentum..."

Lin Fei's gaze turned even colder. Jiang Tianyun's aura was undeniably stronger. And having manifested the two flowers while grasping the Sword Momentum, this was the true seed of a Martial Sovereign! But, the outcome would always be determined by combat. For what use was a strong aura without a fight?

"Jiang Tianyun, you are worthy of my saber!"

With a swish, Lin Fei flicked his finger, the saber essence erupted instantly. A radiant arc flashed briefly,

Rainbow Transformation Saber! Its speed was inconceivably fast. Especially under Lin Fei's Saber Momentum, it was even faster.

But Jiang Tianyun possessed Sword Momentum. With another swish, his sword lashed out, Its radiance stretching for thousands of meters.

Lin Fei's Rainbow Transformation Saber also expanded dramatically in the wind, reaching the same vastness.

One saber, one sword, collided with immense force. A thunderous boom resonated.

Saber essence, sword light, saber momentum, sword momentum, Qi Flower, Energy Flower. All these forces converged into one area. A direct confrontation! A muted thud echoed through the void as if the void had birthed myriad black fissures. But in a moment, these cracks vanished as if they had never existed at all.

Simultaneously, a terrifying aftershock surged forth, vast and overwhelming, spreading in all directions. Even from a great distance, the martial artists and the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Illusion Worry City were profoundly shaken.

"Is this truly a battle of the Martial Saint level?"

"A Martial Saint, wielding such immense power?"

"It's just two flowers now. What if there were three? How formidable would that be?"

"This is the Martial Dao! Just as profound as the Immortal Dao..."

Such a battle was utterly astonishing to the Martial Saints and Foundation Establishment cultivators. A spectacle that might be witnessed once in a lifetime, if at all. Only surpassed by the Martial Sovereign and the Golden Core True Persons.

However, the Limit Martial Saints and the top Foundation Establishment True Persons felt an even greater tumult within.

Liu Hong stared blankly at the silhouettes of Lin Fei and Jiang Tianyun in the void. While Lin Fei was a mystery, Liu Hong was quite familiar with Jiang Tianyun. Jiang Tianyun manifested two flowers. In all of Illusion Worry City, he was hailed as the strongest, second only to the Martial Sovereign.

Yet, deep inside, Liu Hong felt he could match up. He believed he too could manifest two flowers and when that time came, he'd stand equal to Jiang Tianyun. But now he realized his folly, a grave one at that. Even amongst those with two flowers, there were ranks.

Moreover, Jiang Tianyun had also mastered the sword momentum. And Liu Hong? As of now, he had no insight into the martial momentum. How could he contend with Jiang Tianyun?

But what even more made him despair was Lin Fei. Lin Fei manifested only one Qi Flower. But coupled with his Transcendent Saber Momentum, he became this formidable, even holding his ground against Jiang Tianyun.

In front of Lin Fei and Jiang Tianyun, Liu Hong couldn't help but feel a pang of defeat. The three Limit Martial Saints from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Ancient Origin Sect felt the same overwhelming astonishment!

Previously, Lin Fei's domineering and overbearing attitude towards them surely left a sense of discomfort in their hearts. Yet, Lin Fei was the "First Elder." Moreover, they came to Illusion Worry City under the command of Wind Sovereign. They dared not disobey.

However, witnessing the battle between Lin Fei and Jiang Tianyun, a hint of relief bloomed within them. Despite their standing as peak Martial Saints, if Lin Fei wished to end them, perhaps a single slash would suffice.

In the midst of their combat, neither Lin Fei nor Jiang Tianyun paid any heed to the thoughts of onlookers.

With a swing, Lin Fei's saber descended, only to be parried by Jiang Tianyun. Undeterred, Lin Fei unleashed another two consecutive slashes. "Whoosh, whoosh."

Flame Burning Heaven Saber! Holy Spirit Saber!

Each streak of saber essence extended thousands of meters, vast and unyielding, one slash following another, targeting Jiang Tianyun. In response, Jiang Tianyun's swordsmanship escalated to its zenith. Notably, the Energy Flower and Qi Flower atop his head unleashed their full might, each sword thrust mirroring Lin Fei's saber. Their forces were evenly matched.

Eventually, Lin Fei paused. Jiang Tianyun followed suit. Both recognized that their usual tactics wouldn't prevail over the other. It was now a desperate struggle.

"I possess a saber; a single stroke assures death. It's either your end or mine. Will you dare to take it?"

After a long silence, Lin Fei finally spoke, his eyes coldly fixated on the figure of Jiang Tianyun across from him.
