Spear intent that could crush mountains. Spearlights that could puncture the seas. Numerous spears shooting a single target as if an army of fearless spirits were attacking with killing intent that could suppress the sun and moon. Any of these attacks backed by the cultivation base of a mighty Nascent Soul expert could crush tens if not more of the same level of experts. Striking fear in the hearts of onlookers present and especially more to the target, causing one to feel unavoidable death drawing near.
However, the target today was no Nascent Soul expert. It was being who possessed more power than that. Power that everyone thirsted to taste. As if that being alone could control the world through only his will. And that being was a Divine Level expert. Who willed nothing but the thought to eradicate the Xiao Clan.
"Hmph." Ming Jian snorted as he calmly watched everything unfold. Then he gestured casually. Appearing fast but motioned so slow. And by the time he was done, four black swords filled with impressive sword intent shadowed behind him as if dark wings of a demon. His booming voice rang out.
"Foolish mongrel. Your ignorance knows no bounds. Let me educate you just how pathetic it si to oppose me.
"First Sword, Black killling Rays!"
Within an instant, one of the black swords behind Ming Jian let out an intense black light. And the world rumbled.
The uncountable shadows looming over the battlefield began to wriggle and distort. Forming into black swordqis that shot like rays conquering the light. Those rays then collided with the vast spears that were targeting Ming Jian. Nullifying each and all of them faster than a second. After which, those black rays gathered above Ming Jian's palm. Forming into a black dot that shot forth towards the spearlights. Colliding with them with a boom!
RUUUMBLE!!!
An intense blastwave transmitted to all directions. Kicking up a windstorm that forced the debris out of the center of the impact. Those onlookers nearby spat blood as their eyes widen in shock and disbelief. One spearlight after another weakened and dissipated while the black dot had yet to despite colliding so many spearlights.
However, despite the black dot being too overwhelming, one intense spearlight refused to yield and managed to destroy the black dot before shooting towads Ming Jian.
Ming Jian hovered there without moving. He casually gestured again. And through his will, another black sword behind him let out sparks of black lightning. He coldly uttered.
"Second Sword, Shadow Cuts All!"
As Ming Jian tapped a finger, a heaven-shattering energy shot out in the form of a swordqi. It shattered the void as it flew faster than the eye could see. And collided with the unyielding spearlight!
BOOM!
Another blastwave kicked up upon impact. Heaven and earth shook as the powerful energy from the attacks had yet to dissipate shot out to all directions. Distorting space and light. Creating a deep crater below. And as the onlookers could barely see, the spearlight was utterly destroyed and the swordqi continued on to target the beam of light!
As the swordqi that represented death loomed over the battlefield, an earth-shaking roar erupted from the beam of light. Or more specifically, the giant azure dragon tailing behind!
Faster than anyone could blink, the azure dragon overtook the beam of light and faced the swordqi head-on!
BOOM!
A deafening explosion set on destroying all things nearby shook the battlefield. The azure dragon let out an agonzing roar filled with furious hatred. As the onlookers looked in shock, they could see a deep wound on the giant azure dragon. Weakening its form as it struggled to maintain corporeal. However, with the price it fearlessly paid, the swordqi that could cut all things dissipated. To which the azure dragon shot towards Ming Jian with a fierce counterattack!
Ming Jian remained calm as he casually gestured again. Another of his black swords began to distort in shape, size and form. Changing states between illusory and corporeal, it let out a black light. To which Ming Jian uttered coldly.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"Third sword, lightless spirit destroyer!"
All of a sudden, a swordqi coalesced into a black net and shot to collide with the azure dragon...and tore the latter into pieces!
The azure dragon let out an agonizing shriek before it dissipated. While the black net shot towards the beam of light. Growing bigger and wider to the point that nothing could escape from it. Even as the void was shattering and forming vacuums, the black net shot unhindered and enveloped the beam of light. Causing the latter to lurch in a halt just a meter away from Ming Jian.
From where Ming Jian could see, the black net he conjured from swordqi was trapping and destroying whatever was inside. However, what was struggling madly in defiance wasn't a fearless man with a spear in hand. But rather, only the Azure Blood Spear with no Xiao Xuan in sight!
Just as the onlookers were caught in surprised, a cold voice echoed viciously.
"Detonate!"
What happened next was simply terrifying. There was no deafening boom, but everything rumbled as a blinding light flashed intensely. Followed by a shockwave that stirred the chaos into an unprecedented upheavel!
A blastwave filled with scorching heat raised flames that burned the world. Anyone who had yet to retreat in defense were reduced to ashes. Fluctuating levels of energy distorted space and matter. Everything was being crushed to dust by an unprecedented force of pressure. Followed by what could be discerned as an enraged roar of a mystical beast. And the furious bellowing of a man filled with hatred.
"GARHHH!!!" Ming Jian, being a meter away from the explosion, struggled to contain the detonation within the black net. His profound cultivation base was surging through the roofs. He infused his powers into the black net to push back the destruction. And yet, the black net collapsed from the bomb that could render lands to dust. And his figure was swallowed in the blast.
For the first time, Ming Jian was forced to retreat and put up defense. His heart pounding in shock and filled with disbelief. He could never imagined that Xiao Xuan, whom he looked down, would unhestantly detonate his clan's treasured spear!
The Azure Blood Spear was said to be made for the bones of the mystical Azure Dragons. A fearsome beast who can fight toe-to-toe against divine level experts. And ever since the Xiao Clan possessed that spear, they had fed it an untold amount of top-tier materials and resources that bled bankruptcy, and passed it down to their most formidable spear experts. Which they infused with generations of unique and formidable spear intent all the way to the present.
Never could Ming Jian had imagined this. He had planned to reforge that spear into a sword for his ambitions. Yet, that plan went down the drain as Xiao Xuan viciously detonated it right in front of his face!
How could he not be enraged?
Ming Jian waved his hand and swept the destruction away. Revealing the oblivion as the dust and wind no longer stirred. The storm had calmed and Ming Jian looked around. Finding no Xiao Xuan. Causing his face to turn unsightly.
But suddenly, an intense crisis filled his heart as he sensed danger behind him. There, a figure was blurring between the two states of spirit and matter. The figure was so near to Ming Jian that before he could turn around, a spearhand shot to his torso!
That figure was none other than Xiao Xuan. He had paid a deep price all to get this window of opportunity to approach Ming Jian. He spat blood with every collision of their attacks. Weakening his charge. Yet, he pushed on. Ignoring the agony and the collapsing of his cultivation base, he followed his instincts and pushed through. Straightening his hand into a spear and lunged towards his enemy to kill!
Currently, Xiao Xuan's mind was blank but his consciousness was put to a level of focus was no weaker than a divine level expert!
