“Whose side are you on!”
Seeing the Sword Emperor suddenly appear beside the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul, Mo Xiao immediately shouted angrily.
“I can’t help him much- Don’t be anxious-” The Sword Emperor said slyly.
“You f*cking…” Just as Mo Xiao was about to spit out a few words, a dazzling sword light whistled towards him.
Seeing this, Mo Xiao’s pupils suddenly constricted, and a shield appeared in his hand.
“Clang!”
With a crisp sound of the shield, the sword light was instantly bounced back. Along with them were two different-colored sword energies, yellow and blue. Seeing this, the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul stabbed the sword in his hand three times.
Immediately, the three sword energies disappeared at the same time.
“In thousands of years, you’re the second person who dares to be distracted while fighting me,” the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao subconsciously asked, “Then… who’s the first?”
H 11
“Defeat me and 1’11 tell you!” The Sword Emperor’s remnant soul’s expression turned cold, and he suddenly waved the longsword in his hand at Mo Xiao. “Sword Qi Zongheng!”
In an instant, countless sword Qi whistled out of the Sword Emperor’s hand and headed straight for Mo Xiao.
Seeing this, Mo Xiao switched to the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella state again.
Two swords appeared in Mo Xiao’s hands at the same time.
In the next moment, the two swords in Mo Xiao’s hands quickly stabbed forward, and all the sword Qi immediately dissipated in the air and disappeared.
Just like what the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul had done earlier.
At this moment, Mo Xiao suddenly took a step forward. The two swords in his hands switched to staffs again, and he suddenly waved them forward. “Explosive Fireball!”
Immediately, a huge fireball instantly took shape and flew quickly towards the Sword Emperor.
Looking at the roaring fireball, the Sword Emperor’s expression did not change. Just as he was about to swing his sword to block, he suddenly felt something beneath his feet and his center of gravity deviated. The longsword that should have directly shattered the fireball was tilted by this stab.
However, at this moment, the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul suddenly flipped sideways and dodged this explosive fireball to the limit.
“F*ck! How did he dodge it?!”
The Sword Emperor’s remnant soul ignored Mo Xiao. Instead, it looked at the spot under its feet and narrowed its eyes slightly. “A skill to change the terrain…”
“Looks like I have to be more careful.”
After saying that, the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul did not give Mo Xiao any chance to react. It instantly rushed forward, the longsword in its hand mercilessly attacking Mo Xiao from all kinds of tricky angles.
Mo Xiao used all his strength to resist the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul’s attack.
During this period, Mo Xiao kept trying to counterattack, mixed with various skills.
However, no matter how Mo Xiao attacked, he was easily resolved by the
Sword Emperor’s remnant soul, forcing Mo Xiao to forcefully fight his close combat opponents.
Ten minutes later.
The longswords in their hands continued to wave and collide in the air.
Although it looked like they had exchanged blows, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Mo Xiao had already been suppressed and beaten by the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul.
Even though he was being suppressed, in these ten minutes, Mo Xiao only lost about 100 HP. After all, he had blocked most of the attacks.
“Comparing swordsmanship with the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul… Junior
Brother is really bold…” Su Jin’er looked at Mo Xiao, who was constantly resisting, and said with a strange expression.
Yao Shi’er glanced at Su Jin’er and explained, “It’s not that he’s bold, but he had no choice. The Sword Emperor’s remnant soul forced him to do this.”
“With the attack frequency of the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul, Mo Xiao has no way of pulling away and using skills. Even if he barely uses skills, they will be easily broken by the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul, so it’s better to fight him in close combat.”
Yan Zhantian continued, “However, this kid is really quite powerful. The sword technique of this Sword Emperor’s remnant soul can be said to be amazing. Back then, when I faced him, I was hacked to death by him. This kid can actually hold on for 10 minutes. It’s really amazing.”
“You’ve been hacked to death before?” Hearing this, Su Jin’er and Yao Shi’er turned their heads at the same time and looked at Yan Zhantian curiously.
“???” Feeling their gazes, Yan Zhantian was also stunned and immediately said unhappily, “Is this the main point?! Shouldn’t the main point be Mo Xiao?!” “Then you can tell us after Mo Xiao’s battle ends!” Su Jin’er chuckled. Ignoring Yan Zhantian’s reaction, she looked at Mo Xiao’s performance again.
Looking at Su Jin’er’s appearance, Yao Shi’er also smiled slightly. Then, she looked at Yan Zhantian and said, “Do you think Mo Xiao can pass this stage?” “I can’t.” Yan Zhantian shook his head and said, “Although he can hold on, it’s only a matter of time before he fails…”
“Indeed.” Yao Shi’er nodded. “However, I feel that his performance has already exceeded my expectations.”
“If I can pass this level, it can only be said to be a pleasant surprise.”
Hearing this, Yan Zhantian also grinned. “That’s right… If it were anyone else, they would have died on the first try.”
At this moment, in the Heaven-reaching Tower.
More and more sweat appeared on Mo Xiao’s forehead. Every strike from the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul was extremely difficult for him to withstand. As time passed, the wounds on his body continued to increase.
Just as the two War Gods had said, Mo Xiao could no longer hold on.
The Sword Emperor’s remnant soul’s rapid attacks and tricky angles.
Every time he blocked, Mo Xiao had to spend a huge amount of energy. He even had to use the Wood Manipulation Technique and the Earth Manipulation Technique to adjust his position or the position of the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul.
Not to mention anything else, just the consumption of his mental strength alone was already too much for Mo Xiao to bear.
“You’re very outstanding, but you seem to be a little lacking if you want to defeat me.” As the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul spoke, the longsword in his hand seemed to transform into a phantom that charged straight at Mo Xiao.
Just as Mo Xiao was about to block, the sword in front of him disappeared, and at the same time, the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul appeared behind Mo Xiao. “I’m sorry, die!”
“Ding!”
At this moment, Mo Xiao’s hand seemed to be out of control, and he instantly held the sword behind his back.
He accurately blocked this attack.
“All! Want him to die? That’s impossible!”
At this moment, the voice of the Sword Emperor suddenly came out of Mo
Xiao’s mouth. “He’s tired, and it’s my turn now.”
“…” Hearing this voice, the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul was clearly stunned for a moment. “Is this considered cheating?”
“How can you call it cheating?” the Sword Emperor grinned. “1 am one of Mo
Xiao’s abilities, he just hadn’t used me until now.”
“Is that so…” The Sword Emperor’s remnant soul seemed somewhat displeased.
“Of course, and don’t you think it’s fun to fight against yourself?”
