Chapter 236: Chapter 233: Battle of the Bright King"You’re brave." Bright and Dark Ming King cracked a smile, but then flipped his palm, and a bone spear of a ghastly white hue appeared in his hand. The spear, about five feet long, emanated a wave of chillingly cold vibrations. At the same time, Ye Xuan angled the Spiritual Edge Sword in his hand, and his gaze fell on the Bright and Dark Ming King. Invisibly, the sharp sword intent swiftly locked onto his opponent. "Take this, Soul Destruction Bone Spear!" Bright and Dark Ming King wasted no more words, and his True Qi surged powerfully from his hands, the bone spear in his grasp suddenly bursting forth with a suffocating gray light. Then, as the gray light coalesced, it carried an onslaught powerful enough to instantly obliterate a Martial Artist Master, slamming viciously towards Ye Xuan. The attack seemed to target the soul directly, deviously uncanny. Seeing Bright and Dark Ming King’s immediate onslaught, Ye Xuan’s eyes also reflected a measure of solemnity. At this point, there was no external help available; he was required to contend one-on-one with Bright and Dark Ming King. After all, his opponent was a genuine Fourth Grade Martial Sect Master, with strange and ununderestimated methods. "Nine Heavens Thunder Scripture, Body of Raging Thunder!" A deep shout came from Ye Xuan’s throat. Almost immediately, his body surged with astonishing lightning. On his forehead, the lightning condensed, the runes gathered, and faintly, it actually formed a vertical eye of lightning. From this vertical eye, a hint of destructive vibration radiated. "The number one Miracle Scripture of Heavenly Martial Hall, Nine Heavens Thunder Scripture; who would have thought a young junior could reach such an extent with it!" The Bright and Dark Ming King was startled upon seeing the Thunder Light Rune Eye condensed on Ye Xuan’s forehead, clearly not entirely ignorant of the Nine Heavens Thunder Scripture. "Great Sword Scripture, a sword through the heavens!" Brilliant lightning gathered on his arms, unleashing an extremely terrifying power. As it roared out from within him like a tidal surge, his hand grasped the vastly enlarged due to the lightning Spiritual Edge Sword, its glow surging, slashing out a enormous Sword Qi, carrying a monstrous force, directly colliding with the bone spear. Boom! A deafening explosion spread through the sky, causing the surrounding rocks and walls to crack in fragmentation. True Qi turned into a storm sweeping across, causing Ye Xuan to be forced to retreat a dozen steps midair before stabilizing. However, Bright and Dark Ming King similarly retreated a dozen steps before stopping. "Well done, boy." Bright and Dark Ming King’s pupils slightly shrank, then a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the bone spear in his hand extended black and white lights, dyeing the bone spear in dual colors. Fully powered, he swung his spear, drawing a black arc in the air and viciously shooting it toward Ye Xuan. Seeing this, Ye Xuan stomped his foot, a violent wind rose around him, several swords burst forth, merging with the Spiritual Edge Sword in his hand to meet the incoming bone spear head-on. Clang clang clang! The sword light and bone spear clashed fiercely, with each contact between the two shaking the surrounding crypts. Within a hundred meters radius, the violent battle between the two had turned the area into a mess. Possessing the realm of the Fourth Grade Martial Sect Master, Bright and Dark Ming King had extraordinary strength. Even Ling Jingtian, the chief Hall Master of Heavenly Martial Hall, might not be able to defeat him. However, Ye Xuan, relying on the Heavenly Martial Hall’s two Miracle Scriptures, the Great Sword Scripture, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Scripture, was now completely mastered by Ye Xuan. At this moment, using them in combination, their power was immensely formidable, crossing two minor grades to contend against the Fourth Grade Martial Sect Master realm of Bright and Dark Ming King. "Ye Xuan, I must admit, you truly are a genius, but it’s unfortunate that to take my head, you’re still far from qualified." After repelling Ye Xuan and putting some distance between them, Bright and Dark Ming King sneered coldly. However, his thoughts were not as dismissive as his words; Ye Xuan’s strength was surprising enough to warrant concern, and his remark was intended merely to induce Ye Xuan into making a mistake, seeking an opportunity to defeat him. "Is that so? It’s a bit early for you to say that," Ye Xuan condensed a sharp light in his eyes, then his figure darted out, his right hand wielding his sword. He swiftly sliced out at the Bright and Dark Ming King, his Sword Qi’s edge concentrated to the utmost, tearing the air apart, emitting a noise akin to the ripping of fabric. Thunder Slash! "Bang!" Bright and Dark Ming King’s complexion darkened as his arm writhed and swelled, the bone spear turning into a shadow of black and white as it flashed, precisely colliding with the sword light, setting off an ear-splitting sound. The bone spear, as if sentient, returned to Bright and Dark Ming King’s grasp, and at the moment the sword move was countered, Ye Xuan dashed forward, closing in on Bright and Dark Ming King. Above Ye Xuan’s head seemed to hang a dreadful Sword Qi, its momentum domineering, and Ye Xuan, seizing the moment, swung out a sword. But in just the blink of an eye, the second strike followed swiftly, as if launching two moves consecutively, each with startling power. "Swords Descend upon the World!" "Thunder Devour!" The Sword Qi multiplied by four, descending on Bright and Dark Ming King from four directions. Following the fall of the Sword Qi, a True Qi-condensed lightning ball roared out from the tip of Ye Xuan’s Spiritual Edge Sword in the middle of the four sword lights. From a distance, Ye Xuan’s two consecutive strikes fused into one, like a sword blossom, with four sword lights as petals, and the dazzling lightning ball as the bud, merging together, striking at Bright and Dark Ming King. Bright and Dark Ming King was taken aback by Ye Xuan’s successive execution of two major moves, and his figure hastily retreated. Strong surges of True Qi erupted and flowed incessantly from within him. "Yin Yang Evil Armor!" A robust surge of True Qi erupted and quickly coalesced. In a mere few seconds, it had transformed into a massive armor of black and white, completely enveloping the body of the Bright and Dark Ming King. On the armor, the black and white glows pulsated, emitting an indestructible aura! Bang bang bang! A series of explosive sounds burst forth in midair, causing the entire main tomb to tremble wildly. Massive cracks spread rapidly as rocks fell crazily from the walls, crashing thunderously into the abyss below. Above the tomb room, stones fell apart and came crashing down, creating a large hole that led to the outside of the island. This move combined the power of two Miracle Scriptures, and the Thunder-absorbing technique was even a swordsmanship technique created by Ye Xuan with the integration of the fourth level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Scripture—its power was astonishing. The combination of the two was enough to kill a Third Grade Martial Sect Master in a second, but the opponent was the head of the Black Demon Sect, the Bright and Dark Ming King—it would not be easy to obliterate him. Hiss hiss... In the midst of the sky filled with Sword Qi and the swirling thunder, the energy fluctuations gradually subsided, and a figure slowly emerged, along with the black and white armor being revealed. "Was it actually blocked?" Gazing at the black and white armor gradually appearing, Ling Qianxue’s beautiful eyes also flashed with an incredulous color. The strike just now from Ye Xuan was extremely powerful; even if the opponent was the Bright and Dark Ming King, it should have been impossible to ward off so easily. "Lord Bright King is indeed powerful." The Heavenly Demon General was overjoyed, feeling relieved as his previously hanging heart quickly settled down. It seemed that with the strength of the Bright and Dark Ming King, there was no need for him to worry at all. However, Ye Xuan did not show signs of change in his expression. His face was calm as his gaze intently fixed on the black and white armor quietly wrapping the Bright and Dark Ming King. "Crack!" Suddenly, Ye Xuan uttered a word, and in that instant, the Bright and Dark Ming King’s expression dramatically changed. "Crack!" While everyone watched without blinking, suddenly, a faint sound quietly emerged in the sky. Then, a series of fine cracks began to appear on the armor at an alarming pace! Bang bang bang! The cracks spread like a spider web, covering the entire armor. In an instant, it exploded loudly, turning into a sky full of fine glimmers of light... With the armor breached, the Bright and Dark Ming King stumbled back awkwardly. With each step he retreated, a bloody hole exploded from his body. He staggered back five steps, and five bloody holes appeared on his body. "How is this possible?" The Heavenly Demon General was almost frozen in place. The Bright and Dark Ming King, who was thought to be unscathed, ended up with such severe injuries. It was unexpected that the result between two opponents, who were not of the same level, would turn out like this. His eyes began to shift, as he pondered over something. Rumble! At this time, the battle between the Corpse Demon and the Flood Dragon had also reached an extremely intense point. The entire main tomb room was collapsing more and more severely, as if it couldn’t bear the burden anymore and finally completely collapsed, with the hole above also completely breaking apart. The sealed chamber turned into an open-air scene. Whoosh! Taking advantage of Ling Qianxue’s distraction, the Heavenly Demon General’s figure flashed and he took the chance to escape from the chamber, taking advantage of the collapsing tomb to flee amidst the chaos. Ling Qianxue’s face changed; just as she was about to give chase, the rocks in front of her suddenly collapsed, blocking her path, and the figure of the Heavenly Demon General quickly vanished without a trace. "Ye Xuan, this place is about to collapse!" Ling Qianxue came close to Ye Xuan, trying to approach him. "You go first!" Ye Xuan glanced at her, then his gaze returned to lock onto the Bright and Dark Ming King, a flash of coldness crossing his eyes. This battle today had to come to an end. Hearing this, Ling Qianxue hesitated no more; her figure darted forward, and with a stomp of her foot, she too rushed out of the chamber. "Kid, you can’t kill me. Since you insist on fighting me to the death, I will grant you your wish." The Bright and Dark Ming King’s aura had lessened significantly, but the black and white energies surged around him, and a glint of fierceness flashed in his eyes. He seemed to be muttering something under his breath, and at the same time, his body started to swell, his face twisted and fierce, his aura becoming more wildly ferocious.
