"Profound Wind Ten Miles, Marvelous Return..."
After suffering a careless loss to Xu Ming, Bai Linsheng was clearly much more vigilant, and facing Young Lord Dongyang, Li Yun, who was said to have extraordinary swordsmanship, he did not dare to be careless at all.
After making his move, he immediately used his full power.
Bai Linsheng's sword was indeed quite formidable.
Moreover, his True Qi quality reached the fourth grade, and it seemed to be a special cultivation technique, highly compatible with wind. When used with his sword art, it had a marvelous quality of merging with the profound wind, taking wind as its name.
When the sword art was unleashed, it was not only fast but also varied.
One could only say that this strength was indeed above Gao Xingchen's.
However, encountering Li Yun, he could only be considered unlucky.
At this moment, Li Yun clearly had no interest in slowly wearing down Bai Linsheng. The reason he had exchanged blows with Little Fist God He Yiming for a short while earlier was purely because he wanted to experience the deeper mysteries of the One Element Formation.
It was merely a whim.
Now that the whim had passed, it was natural to finish the fight quickly.
Otherwise, with so many Martial Artists from other continents coming up one after another for a Round Battle (relay battle), even if he could replenish his consumption by absorbing spiritual energy of heaven and earth at any time with his Innate Divine Power, not fearing exhaustion from excessive True Qi consumption, he would still be annoyed to death.
"Slash!"
Li Yun held his ancient sword, and a flash of sword light suddenly streaked across the sky.
In an instant, Sword Intent enveloped the area.
In a flash, Bai Linsheng lost his composure.
"Ah, not good, Senior Brother..."
Mu Wanrong, who was below Flying Goose Tower, had originally planned to attack with Bai Linsheng, but Bai Linsheng stopped her. Bai Linsheng wanted to test Li Yun's depth by himself first.
But who would have thought that as soon as he made a move, Bai Linsheng was almost finished!
This situation was completely different from when Li Yun fought Little Fist God He Yiming before!
Anxious, Mu Wanrong stomped her foot and quickly flew up to the top of Flying Goose Tower. A sword light cut through the night sky, and the pervasive sword shadows, powered by abundant True Qi, transformed into white clouds drifting away.
This miraculously formed a kind of resonance with Bai Linsheng's sword art.
For a time, wind and clouds changed.
Two vast giant swords materialized out of thin air, crossing left and right, slashing towards Li Yun's body.
Their might had at least doubled compared to when they fought alone!
"White Wood Twin Swords, Wind and Cloud Confluence... So this is where you were waiting for me?"
Li Yun's eyes also lit up.
He had to admit, he had slightly underestimated the White Wood Twin Swords.
With these two joining forces, the power of their sword art was so great that even Yang Yundu's domineering Salvation Fist would likely be unable to subdue them and would have to be defeated by their swords.
Some knowledgeable older generation Martial Artists around were even secretly shocked.
In Eastern Xuan Continent, the strongest inheritance of the Wind and Cloud Sword Cave was the Wind and Cloud Sword Art, a powerful inheritance capable of forging a Celestial Supreme.
The White Wood Twin Swords, at such a young age, could already display some of the profound mysteries of wind and cloud confluence. Who would dare say they wouldn't become the new Supremes of the Wind and Cloud Sword Cave in the future?
The deterrent power of two Supremes in one sect was no ordinary matter!
However—
Li Yun's sword was clearly even more shocking.
"Sorrowful Wind!"
"All Things Lament!"
Li Yun did not deliberately change his move. He calmly guided the ancient sword in his hand, and the overwhelming Sword Intent naturally enveloped Mu Wanrong.
The sword light whistled down.
Two exclamations sounded.
Bai Linsheng and Mu Wanrong had already been directly cut down from Flying Goose Tower by the sword light.
On the backs of the hands they held their swords with, there was a shallow sword mark on each, not fatal, with only a little fresh red blood flowing out.
Clearly, Li Yun had held back.
Otherwise, this sword could have directly severed their hands, rendering them useless.
The White Wood Twin Swords were completely stunned.
They looked at each other, unable to recover for a long time, the only feeling in their hearts being bitterness.
The name of the White Wood Twin Swords as top Peerless prodigies had spread throughout Eastern Xuan Continent for half a year, and in Eastern Xuan Continent, almost no one dared to deny their powerful talent.
Among young Martial Artists of the same generation, below the Innate realm, there were no more than three who could truly fight and contend with them, but none could withstand their attacks for thirty moves!
Unexpectedly, in Eastern Cloud Continent, they were defeated, and so completely!
They couldn't even withstand a single move from Li Yun!
"We are defeated!"
"We will withdraw from Eastern Cloud Continent now, but we will come back to find you!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a win is a win, and a loss is a loss, there is nothing more to say.
The White Wood Twin Swords did not act unreasonably, sheathing their swords and choosing to leave on the spot, just like Little Fist God He Yiming.
It wasn't that they didn't want to stay and see the final result.
But they couldn't.
It was too embarrassing.
As top Peerless prodigies from Eastern Xuan Continent, the pride in their hearts made it impossible for them to accept staying and receiving strange looks from others.
"Suit yourselves!"
"Don't see you off!"
Li Yun sheathed his ancient sword and swept his gaze across the entire scene.
"Is there anyone else?"
"Don't tell me that after you've been jumping around for two days, and after He Yiming and the White Wood Twin Swords failed, no one has the courage to ascend the tower anymore?"
"If that's really the case, then I'll go back to sleep!"
Go back to sleep?
He created such a grand scene and was going back to sleep before it even ended?
These words sounded grating no matter how they were heard.
However, having witnessed the failures of Little Fist God He Yiming and the White Wood Twin Swords in succession, the pressure Li Yun exerted on these Martial Artists from other continents with his powerful strength became even greater.
Even though they felt Li Yun was too arrogant, clearly showing the arrogance of challenging all Martial Artists in the world, no one dared to easily step forward and angrily retort.
No other reason, insufficient strength!
In this situation, only one thing mattered, and that was strength.
Without strength, anything said was meaningless, and would only lead to self-humiliation.
"Tsk tsk tsk... I really didn't expect this!"
"After so many years, such a formidable person as you has actually appeared in Eastern Cloud Continent. This is truly good; it makes me feel a bit excited like a hunter seeing prey!"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a figure shot up like a stream of light, appearing on the top of Flying Goose Tower.
His speed was so fast that it was no less inferior to Yang Yundu's mysterious movement technique, which was suspected to be Shrink the Earth into an Inch (Shrinking the Ground into Inches). It almost created an illusion that this person had been standing on the top of Flying Goose Tower from the beginning.
Seeing this person's appearance, even Li Yun was slightly moved.
He was very young, estimated to be only about twenty years old, or perhaps even younger, definitely younger than the previous Little Fist God He Yiming and the White Wood Twin Swords.
His appearance was handsome, his temperament lazy, dressed in a gray robe, with a half-foot curved saber hanging at his waist, swaying slightly. His entire body had a strange, evil aura!
But that wasn't the main point.
The main point was that as soon as this person appeared, he clearly felt a very strong power on him, stronger than Little Fist God He Yiming, and even stronger than the White Wood Twin Swords.
But it seemed he hadn't heard of him before.
At least before he came, when he heard Xu Ming talk about the experts from other continents who had been causing a stir these past two days, there was no description of this person.
It was as if he had suddenly appeared!
Li Yun couldn't help but feel a trace of interest in him.
"Who are you? You still dare to come up and challenge me one-on-one at this time? Your courage is not small!"
"Heh heh... As expected of Young Lord Dongyang. Since I, Ye Tianxie, became famous, no one has dared to say such words in front of me. Don't worry, later, I will use my saber to teach you what it means not to be too arrogant if you don't have the ability to act like a person!"
