Chapter 304: Watch Out For My Ultimate Move!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Swoosh!

The two swords fell from mid-air, followed by a sudden retreat from Xu Que.

The Sword Spirit paused for a moment and seemed puzzled. He had been enjoying the fight but suddenly it seemed that this human didn't want to continue any longer!

Could it be that he has conceded defeat? he thought.

The crowd was baffled as well. They even thought that perhaps Fujiwara was thinking of running away again!

Brother Fujiwara, why are you so troublesome?

The sparring was so intriguing! We haven't gotten enough of it!

Why did you stop all of a sudden?

You're not really going to run away, are you?

Don't do the same thing more than three times! You've already run away twice!

Everyone's line of sight was fixed religiously on Xu Que.

Fortunately, Xu Que didn't let everyone down this time—he didn't run away.

"Sword Spirit, fighting on like this is a waste of time," Xu Que smiled coolly. "This Sword God has decided to go out of the way and execute my ultimate move. But this move is so powerful that I'm worried that if I use it, you might get killed!"

At the same time, he called out the System Store and exchanged for a swordplay without any hesitation!

The crowd heard his bragging once again and nearly blacked out.

Ultimate move?

Brother, even if you have your ultimate move, it will just be a physical sword technique as you can't use your True Core Strength. How would you be able to kill even a cultivator?

Furthermore, the Sword Spirit is such a formidable presence. Even if he stayed still for you to attack, you wouldn't be able to kill him anyway!

There are so many things to brag about, yet you choose to brag about this? This is too awful!

Didn't you just tell Ye Chang Feng to quickly execute his ultimate move? Now what are you waiting for?

You are wasting time as well by bragging so much. Do you know that the time you just spent boasting, the Sword Spirit could have stabbed you seven or eight times already?

The crowd had already developed immunity towards Xu Que's shamelessness.

The most powerful aspect of Xu Que was not his sword, but his mouth.

His mouth was invincible!

...

The Sword Spirit was very cautious; although he was convinced that this human teenager would not be able to kill him, he was very interested in the swordplay that Xu Que had used just now.

The one who had created the swordplay set had to have been extremely devoted to swordplay. That person must have possessed a deep and profound understanding of the sword.

Hence, when Xu Que said he wanted to use another swordplay set that had even greater power, the Sword Spirit was actually more excited than cautious.

For the first time in many years, he felt excitement and anticipation. His icy cold eyes became brighter.

The Sword Spirit was known as the Sword Spirit for a reason.

Because he had an obsession with the sword!

To feel the Way of the Sword!

To comprehend the Way of the Sword!

...

When a totally new understanding of the Way of the Sword was presented to the Sword Spirit, everything else would become secondary.

Therefore, when Xu Que said he wanted to execute an ultimate move, the Sword Spirit was excited by this. He began to accumulate energy to prepare to take on the ultimate move that Xu Que had spoken of.

Swoosh!

He lifted the sword again and pointed it at Xu Que.

The meaning of that was obvious—he was asking Xu Que to continue.

By then, Xu Que had just finished exchanging the new swordplay from the System Store. He looked calm and wore a confident smile.

It was not that Xu Que was really confident about this, but rather, because this swordplay required a lot of self-confidence to execute.

He lifted his sword slowly and started to exude a sharp and out-of-the-world aura!

"This swordplay… has not been used in several hundred years. Sigh, I didn't expect you to force me to use a swordplay set that makes the heavens shake and deities cry. Oh well, I'll grant your wish!"

Xu Que looked grim and solemn.

That made everyone feel intimidated as well.

Although they did not believe what Xu Que had said about the swordplay not being used for several hundred years, the aura he had with him now gave them second thoughts. Maybe what he had said was true.

"Celestial!"

Suddenly, Xu Que shouted out the first word. His sharp sword cut through the air!

"Beings!" He waved his sword even faster!

"From!" The image of his sword had become blurry.

"Heaven!"

As the last word was uttered, Xu Que made a sudden leap. His sword seemed to have disappeared and transformed into lightning beams, all shooting towards the Sword Spirit.

The whole crowd was in uproar as well.

"'Celestial Beings From Heaven'? There are actually people who dare to use the word 'Celestial' to name a swordplay set?"

"This is only a type of swordplay, how can it be fitting to use the word 'Celestial'?"

"No, quick, look, brother Fujiwara has not used any core energy but this single stroke of swordplay is so fast! If an ordinary human were to execute this, he might be able to kill a Qi Refining Stage cultivator!"

"Tsk, now that you have said so, this swordplay is really fearsome!"

When the group of cultivators realised this fact, they gulped in several mouthfuls of cold air!

A pure physical skill that could reach such a godly state was certainly rare… no one should have been able to do this!

If one had such talent, they would have been a cultivator focusing on sword art and not physical swordplay. Yet, their brother Fujiwara had been able to execute powerful physical swordplay to this extent.

Perhaps he was the only one in the whole world!

Swish!

At this moment, the Sword Spirit looked on with a hint of surprise and amazement.

Obviously, he hadn't expected a physical swordplay set to have such results. This was the first time he had ever seen such skill in swordplay!

What kind of person was this teenager? That he could be so crazed about swordplay, that he could have dedicated so much effort to it?

What was his reason? Was it true that he also possessed an extraordinary obsession for the sword?

The Sword Spirit had numerous doubts as he raised his sharp sword and used the Lone Nine Swords to try and nullify Xu Que's Celestial Beings From Heaven!

Everyone held their breaths!

And focused!

Everyone at the scene was watching with their full attention.

Xu Que had an imposing aura that was turned up to the maximum, and it seemed that his sword and body were almost fusing together to become one.

Such aura!

Such a Way of the Sword!

It was totally shocking! Totally unseen and unheard of…

Would the Sword Spirit be able to nullify the attack?

Everyone was looking forward to the showdown.

But suddenly…

Clang!

A crisp sound was heard. Xu Que had only executed half of his swordplay when his sword fell abruptly onto the ground!

Silence suddenly covered the area!

The Sword Spirit was dazed!

The elite cultivators were dumbfounded as well!

This... what the hell is this? Your hand slipped?

Impossible right? You're able to execute such great swordplay, but how can you not even hold a sword properly?

This situation is somewhat strange!

But the truth was, Xu Que's hand had really slipped.

Originally, he had wanted to use this swordplay to fool the Sword Spirit so that he would not focus on Lone Nine Swords, but instead, imitate Celestial Beings From Heaven.

And if the Sword Spirit executed Celestial Being From Heaven, he would change back to using the Broken Sword Technique, followed by the Killer Sword in order to stack power. That would totally take the Sword Spirit unawares!

That was really a good idea. However, Xu Que had never thought that his hand would actually slip!

This was really… too embarrassing!
