As the sword failed to break through You Tianhong's sword curtain, Su Yi didn't hesitate and attacked again.
"The second move, Mountain-Cleaving Strike!"
A devastating sword qi surged through the air.
Without any pause, Su Yi continued his assault.
"The third move, Sun and Moon Thrust!"
"The fourth move, Purify the Impure!"
"The fifth move, Wandering in Ten Directions!"
One after another, the profound techniques from the Sword of Great Joy scripture were vividly demonstrated by Su Yi in a bold and unrestrained manner. In an instant, it seemed as if an immortal was dancing with the sword, with multiple sword shadows filling the entire observation platform.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each strike, You Tianhong's ten-foot sword curtain suffered terrible devastation, exploding in an instant.
You Tianhong's face turned pale as he kept retreating.
The terrifying sword qi unleashed by Su Yi covered all directions, leaving You Tianhong with no room to escape.
In that moment, the Tianhong Sword Lord of Great Qin let out a thunderous shout. His eyes emitted a chilling light as he raised the ancient silver snow sword, almost merging his body and the sword into one.
Finally, he seemed to merge with the entire Jiuzi Mountain, his aura connecting heaven and earth. Every ounce of his energy and spirit was pushed to an unprecedented level.
"Dark Thunder, Life-Ending Strike!"
Amidst the earth-shattering shout, You Tianhong leaped into the sky, slashing out a vast and boundless white sword qi that spanned dozens of feet, creating a shocking scene.
This strike abandoned personal safety, fearless of life and death.
With a single sword, You Tianhong concentrated all his strength, embodying the spirit of a swordsman who chose to sacrifice himself for a righteous cause. If he couldn't succeed, he would meet his fate head-on!
Boom~
On the observation platform, it felt as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart as the violent destructive sword qi swept and spread.
The peak of Jiuzi Mountain couldn't bear the immense pressure and abruptly collapsed, cracking and tilting with rocks falling like rain.
The prominent figures watching from a distance felt a piercing pain in their eyes as the ground trembled and the mountains shook, leaving them astonished.
The Land Immortals positioned at the forefront of the battlefield swiftly activated their cultivation to neutralize the residual impact of the battle.
However, their expressions were filled with astonishment, suspicion, and solemnity.
In the midst of the battlefield, just as You Tianhong was about to breathe a sigh of relief after his sword shattered Su Yi's sword qi...
Swish!
Without any hesitation, Su Yi once again unleashed a sword strike.
The Sword of Great Joy, sixth move, Break the Mental Barrier!
"Oh no!"
You Tianhong's heart trembled as he sensed the danger of this strike. However, he had no time to evade, and the profound technique of the Dark Thunder, Life-Ending Strike, left him no room for avoidance.
Otherwise, his meticulously condensed energy and spirit would collapse in an instant.
"Open!!"
You Tianhong's eyes widened in despair as he actively met the attack.
Boom!
An unprecedented explosion resonated in the sky above the observation platform.
It was as if two volcanoes were fiercely colliding.
Su Yi's sword strike was the core technique of the Sword of Great Joy scripture, breaking through mental barriers and shattering all defenses!
Even You Tianhong couldn't withstand it!
In the momentary clash of their sword techniques, Su Yi's strike forcefully shattered the Dark Thunder, Life-Ending Strike, and continued its momentum, breaking through You Tianhong's protective energy and cleaving into his chest.
Clang!
The sound of clashing weapons echoed through the air.
A protective chest mirror shattered at You Tianhong's chest, narrowly blocking this fatal blow.
However, under the impact, You Tianhong spewed out a mouthful of blood, his chest caved in, and his figure violently retreated several zhang, his face turning pale.
At this moment, the residual force of the energy spread completely across the observation platform.
Boom!
The mountain trembled. The peak of Jiuzi Mountain seemed unable to bear the weight and split into two, crashing down with a deafening roar.
This place, renowned throughout history as an excellent spot for enjoying the sea of clouds, was now completely gone!
Countless people were dumbfounded.
"Is this the power of a human?"
Many people were horrified, their scalps tingling.
Even the prominent figures had a change in expression.
That strike had also affected their minds. Especially when they witnessed You Tianhong being struck, everyone understood that if it weren't for that protective chest mirror, You Tianhong would have likely perished!
Undoubtedly, this was terrifying.
A Primordial Dao cultivator at the Peak of Fasting Vessel Realm, wielding an ancient spiritual sword and employing his sword intent with all his might, was actually no match for a young Grandmaster Realm cultivator?
If it weren't seen with one's own eyes, who would believe it?
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the instant that the observation platform collapsed, Su Yi and You Tianhong almost simultaneously rose into the air, standing suspended in mid-air, facing each other from a distance.
However, one was injured while the other remained unscathed, clearly determining their difference in strength.
"Good, very good! To force You Tianhong to this extent, you, Su Yi, indeed have the qualifications to be proud. But..."
You Tianhong took a deep breath, his eyes burning with raging fury.
His long hair billowed, and he gathered a tremendous aura around him, as if he had completely abandoned everything. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "You will die today!"
While his voice still echoed, You Tianhong raised the Silver Snow Ancient Sword in his hand. At the same time, he chanted obscure mantras and uttered ancient and profound words.
Boom!
Within the Silver Snow Ancient Sword, it seemed that a seal was being lifted. Suddenly, an endless divine radiance burst forth, and a snow-white dragon coiled within it, raising its head and letting out a resounding roar, shaking the heavens.
Upon closer inspection, the snow-white dragon was vivid and awe-inspiring. Its terrifying aura swept through the surrounding thousand zhang, shattering the sea of clouds in unison.
"This..."
Some Grandmaster-level figures were shocked, trembling as if facing a divine dragon in the sky.
"A strand of the true spirit of a dragon soul?!"
Hong Can Shang, Yun Zhongqi, Shi Fengliu, and others stiffened, their eyes flickering uncertainly.
Undoubtedly, this was You Tianhong's trump card, his most powerful killer move, and it was highly likely that it was the fortuitous encounter he obtained from the depths of the Chaotic Spirit Sea!
"Indeed, within the Thunder Decree, there is a strand of a spirit soul!"
A tinge of surprise flashed in Su Yi's profound gaze. This sword refinement technique was somewhat similar to the method he used to refine the Xuanwu Sword.
This could not possibly be the work of You Tianhong!
"I secluded myself for eight years, only to refine this sword and nurture this soul. Although it has not reached its full potential, it is already enough to kill someone like you!"
A cold and iron-like voice resounded in the void as You Tianhong let out a long howl.
"The Dragon Binding Formation, assemble!"
He firmly grasped the Silver Snow Ancient Sword and made a forceful gesture in the void.
Boom!
Nine radiant sword qi soared into the sky, each sword qi measuring ten zhang in length, condensing in the void to form a vast white sword formation.
And the terrifying and agile Chilong became the eye of this formation.
In that instant, the formation roared, and endless divine radiance emerged, dimming the heavens and earth. The entire Jiuzi Mountain was bathed in a brilliant light.
"Retreat quickly!"
Those Grandmasters and Nascent Soul experts didn't care to watch the battle any longer and immediately fled towards the foot of Jiuzi Mountain.
The destructive aura was too terrifying, causing their souls to tremble as they sensed the mortal threat.
As for the immortal-level figures on land, they all rose into the air one by one, keeping a safe distance and gazing at the Dragon Binding Formation, their hearts filled with dread.
A sword formation with a Chilong spirit as its core, such a grand display was enough to astonish gods and demons!
"Go!"
You Tianhong waved his robe.
Boom!
The sword formation resounded with a clanging noise, swiftly activating and casting rolling sword shadows. Together with the snow-white Chilong, it descended upon Su Yi with the intent to kill.
In the face of this terrifying attack, Su Yi smiled and muttered to himself, "This strike is barely enough to make me draw my sword..."
Silently, the Xuanwu Sword appeared in Su Yi's right hand.
His entire aura underwent a drastic change, becoming aloof like an immortal, exuding an unparalleled sharpness!
Swish!
He stepped forward in mid-air, charging forward with his sword. The vast and ethereal sword body emanated mysterious and unfathomable spiritual lights, representing the elemental forces of gold, wood, water, and fire. They merged with Su Yi's essence and energy, slashing out a nine-zhang sword intent in the void.
The sword intent was radiant, with brilliant divine radiance billowing to the extreme.
Boom!
The Dragon Binding Formation descending from the sky trembled and was violently churned by Su Yi's sword, causing rays of light and brilliance to burst forth.
The snow-white Chilong seemed enraged, issuing a resounding dragon's roar, accompanied by densely packed white sword qi, charging forward once again.
But what was astonishing was that Su Yi didn't retreat; instead, he met it head-on, engaging in a fierce confrontation.
From a distance, it seemed as if an immortal was dancing with a sword, intending to slay the mighty dragon!
Boom!
In the void, sword qi splattered, and a destructive torrent swept through, causing the heavens to crumble and the earth to split. Countless people were left stupefied, their minds blank.
Amidst the battle, You Tianhong's expression grew increasingly grim.
He could only barely control the secrets of the Dragon Binding Formation, but even so, its power was enough to threaten cultivators at the Yuanfu realm.
Yet now, he couldn't subdue Su Yi, even after a considerable amount of time!
Moreover, as Su Yi confronted the Dragon Binding Formation head-on, You Tianhong also suffered from the impact.
The reason being that although the formation had the Chilong spirit as its core, it required him to restrain and control the Chilong spirit in order to unleash its power.
Otherwise, once it lost control, the entire formation would instantly collapse.
That was the origin of the name "Dragon Binding Formation."
"Kill!"
You Tianhong threw caution to the wind, his hair standing on end. He leaped into the Dragon Binding Formation, channeling all his power into manipulating the Chilong spirit.
Immediately, the formation's power surged dramatically.
"If you can completely subdue this Chilong spirit, I might have some fear for you. But now... you're just barely holding on," Su Yi shook his head.
He no longer hesitated, nor did he want to linger any longer. With a deep breath, he swung his sword down.
"Die!"
In an instant, the Xuanwu Sword shimmered with a swallowing spirit command, resembling a profound starry black hole. Following closely behind, an enormous and fiercely powerful divine bird phantom emerged, spreading its wings and soaring out.
Boom!
The fierce bird was engulfed in eerie demonic flames, its claws reaching out and fiercely tearing apart the snow-white and agile Chilong in the void!
Plop!
The snow-white Chilong was torn in half and devoured by the fierce bird.
That fierce bird was none other than the Dark Flame Sparrow spirit, one of the nine powerful divine birds from the Netherworld Realm, sealed within Su Yi's Xuanwu Sword!
This horrifying scene left the spectators astonished and horrified, their faces filled with shock.
Almost simultaneously—
Su Yi's strike with the Xuanwu Sword, like a whirlwind obliterating the remnants of clouds, shattered the Dragon Binding Formation, leaving a straight and hundred-zhang-long sword mark in the void.
You Tianhong's figure was within this sword mark.
He appeared dazed and pale, his pupils dilated, his mouth agape as if about to speak. However, his figure quietly split apart and fell from the void.
One sword, the Dark Flame Sparrow devouring the Dragon, breaking the Dragon Binding Formation, and slaying You Tianhong!
This renowned Tianhong Sword Sovereign of Daqin, a Peak Pigu realm existence, was now drenched in blood, falling into the abyss.
