Clang...
As Xiao Yi’s Blizzard Sword trembled, he strode forward with the sword.
The sword momentum was immensely heavy, exceptionally domineering.
With just a glance, the Sword Spirit discerned the Sword Dao Xiao Yi was using and couldn’t help but sneer, "Is it the Domineering Sword Technique again?"
"It seems you’re quite confident in your Domineering Sword Technique."
Xiao Yi remained silent, advancing with his sword.
Although the sword momentum was astoundingly domineering, the blade suddenly changed, becoming winding and mysterious to the extreme.
On the Sword Spirit’s delicate face, a frown appeared, obviously somewhat surprised.
Clang...
The Blizzard Sword had reached the Sword Spirit’s throat.
The Sword Spirit sneered, and the sword in his hand also changed.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
Xiao Yi’s figure transformed into a phantom, like wandering clouds, elusive.
Yet every sword strike he delivered was as heavy as a thousand pounds, the killing intent shocking the heavens.
This combination of light and heavy, domineering and gentle, was remarkably seamless.
However, at the same time, the Sword Spirit’s Sword Dao and Sword Intent also transformed accordingly.
No matter how Xiao Yi’s heavy sword bombarded, the Sword Spirit easily blocked it.
"Tsk tsk." The Sword Spirit sneered, "Wandering Cloud Sword Dao? It’s even inferior to the Cloud Vortex Swordsmanship of Cloud Abyss Sword."
"But you surprisingly managed to combine Domineering Sword Technique and Wandering Cloud Sword Dao so perfectly; that’s impressive."
The Sword Spirit easily discerned Xiao Yi’s technique.
Indeed, during Xiao Yi’s transformation, he was using the Wandering Cloud Killing Sword.
Every sword he struck was purely Domineering Sword Technique, never changing, each sword astonishing.
And the wandering blade was the Wandering Cloud Sword Dao, extraordinarily elusive.
Had it been another opponent of the same realm, they might have been defeated by Xiao Yi within seconds.
But this Sword Spirit was astonishingly adept at defense.
Most amazing was that it also used the perfect combination of Domineering Sword Technique and Wandering Cloud Sword Dao.
Using the same Sword Dao, it was distinctly more exquisite than Xiao Yi’s application.
Using the same Sword Dao, Xiao Yi found himself completely at a disadvantage for the first time, with no solution.
Clang...
Suddenly, the sword in the Sword Spirit’s hand trembled, clashing with the Blizzard Sword body.
Xiao Yi’s sword momentum instantly collapsed.
The sword in the Sword Spirit’s hand, winding like clouds yet mixed with a domineering force, surged forward.
Xiao Yi’s pupils shrank; before he could react, he was blasted away by the Sword Spirit’s strike.
"Haha." The Sword Spirit laughed triumphantly.
"Boy, now do you realize the gap between you and me?"
"I am the Inner Tablet Spirit of this Sword Emperor Stele, and the entire Sword Dao of the Sword Emperor is under my control."
"With your superficial Sword Dao skills, you think you can defeat me?"
The Sword Spirit’s delicate face, with its old demeanor and laughter, truly made Xiao Yi simmer with anger.
Xiao Yi touched his chest where there was a slight injury, inflicted by the Sword Spirit’s strike that sent him flying.
At this moment, Xiao Yi’s expression was exceedingly grim.
Indeed, the gap between his and the Sword Spirit’s Sword Dao is incredibly vast.
The Sword Emperor Stele was formed from the Sword Emperor’s meditation, containing the entire Sword Dao of this Sword Dao emperor.
As the Tablet Spirit, the Sword Spirit naturally controls all Sword Dao.
In other words, this Tablet Spirit, apart from lacking the Sky-reaching strength of the Sword Emperor when alive, is essentially equivalent to the Sword Emperor himself.
To compete in Sword Dao against this Sword Spirit.
In reality, it’s akin to competing in Sword Dao against the Sword Emperor.
Even without considering Primordial Power, other strengths, or anything else, merely competing in Sword Dao.
The gap between him and the Sword Emperor’s Sword Dao is as profound as the difference between clouds and mud.
No wonder that throughout millions of years, even though there were eight supreme monsters or Sky-reaching Sword Cultivators who passed through Lin Ye’s trial, they couldn’t overcome this Tablet Spirit when reaching the Third Layer.
Xiao Yi’s odds and confidence were practically zero.
