The full moon hung high in the sky.
However, no one could sleep in Tiansang City.
No matter how far apart, the intermittent roar of the void still caused people to look up.
It was not long before the battle started, but the intensity of the fight was shocking.
“What is going on today? There already was a Sovereign Stage battle during the day that spread 10 miles with heavy casualties. Is there another one now?”
“Looking at this situation, it is even worse tonight than it was during the day!”
The people who were close enough to see the events unfurl had tension written on their faces. They did not witness the spectacle in amusement at all.
An occasional Sovereign Stage battle would be a source of entertainment for these guys who were usually idle.
Even if this source of entertainment was a little risky, they were more than happy to join in the fun.
However, it seemed that the Sovereign Stage could lock horns twice in a day now.
It completely went beyond the limits of entertainment.
It was a death sentence by the king of hell.
Whoever got too close to the fire would die.
How could anyone care to join in the fun when their lives were at stake?
Being able to control themselves from dragging their families away from this perilous land was a complete show of faith in the City Lord Mansion and its ability to maintain public order.
“There is no peace in Tiansang City anymore…”
Everyone sighed heavily in their hearts.
However, Xu Xiaoshou felt slightly lonely in the battle.
After he discovered that Xin Gugu alone was able to restrain everyone, he felt quite bored.
He looked down at the nervous crowd that had gathered at Zhang Mansion. Nearby, the six Sovereign Stages were already in the heat of battle.
Xu Xiaoshou nearly waved a flag behind in support.
He forced himself to resist this impulse. Knowing the scale of the commotion here, his Perception spread. It estimated that the ruckus had attracted a lot of strong cultivators.
‘I should do something.’
Xu Xiaoshou could not help but think of this.
When he conceptualized this idea, the sword energy left by the scruffy-looking man suddenly jumped above his energy center.
“Hmm?”
Xu Xiaoshou was surprised.
That energy conveyed its bloodthirsty yearning for a battle to him.
‘What the hell? This sword cognition… Does it have consciousness?’
Xu Xiaoshou widened his eyes in shock. Deep down in his heart, he felt a fiery excitement bubbling up.
If he could use the power of this sword cognition, he imagined that he could stop these people who were deeply engrossed in the fight with a single sword.
As he thought of this, Xu Xiaoshou immediately took out Hidden Bitter.
The newly reborn Hidden Bitter appeared to be revived and rejuvenated after that double cultivation.
It was originally a ninth-grade spiritual weapon. However, after experiencing countless torturous incidents under Xu Xiaoshou, it almost fell apart and deteriorated to tenth grade.
As its foundation was still there, the sword observation helped to restore it to its peak form.
Under the Sword Intent, its edges were even stronger than before.
Xu Xiaoshou no longer hesitated. He drew his full sight and immediately looked away.
Hidden Bitter trembled with a buzz. After experiencing the sweetness of double cultivation, it already knew what Xu Xiaoshou was going to do.
The sword handle tipped slightly as if it was looking at him shyly.
However, under Xu Xiaoshou’s grip, the sword body of Hidden Bitter suddenly straightened. It stretched itself upright and waited for the gaze of its master to fall upon it in anticipation.
As Xu Xiaoshou initiated the Sword Observation Technique, Sword Intent formed in his eyes.
He had already experienced it before and was familiar with the process. He successfully bridged the connection between the sword and the person.
A faint white mist oozed out from Hidden Bitter.
At this moment, the heavens and earth experienced a drastic change.
In the shocking transformation of the void, it turned into countless miniature swords. The tens of thousands of small swords went rigid, and the sound of the sword cry rang through the 10-mile-long street.
“Om—”
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyes. The sword energy swam past Hidden Bitter instantly and pierced his body.
“Oof!”
After going through a painful experience in the past, he mentally prepared himself this time. He gritted his teeth and tolerated it, enduring the horrifying sword energy that was piercing his body.
Fingertips, wrists, forearms, elbows…
