Ji Yuan and Huang Xiu face Zhu Guang, a powerful cultivator who reveals he killed fellow sect members to reach this point. Zhu Guang attacks Ji Yuan, but Ji Yuan, also a peak Core Formation expert, evades and counterattacks. Ji Yuan unleashes his six Canglan Swords imbued with Purple Sky Divine Thunder, overwhelming Zhu Guang's blood-colored Flying Swords.

Chapter 1250: Chapter 427: Divine Blood Sword

He pushed both hands forward again.

In an instant, a gigantic blood-colored Flying Sword, no smaller than the Canglan Sword, appeared before him, slowly extending forward to meet the descending Canglan Sword from the sky.

A sharp confrontation.

“Ding—”

A sharp, piercing sound rang out, and the impact between the two generated an incredibly complex circular burst of Sword Qi.

Initially still on Sword Gate Island, Huang Xiu hurriedly transformed into an escape light and left.

Fleeing to a faraway place, she turned back to see that under the impact of this Sword Qi, the vast Sword Gate Island had been split in two.

A deep gorge appeared in the center of the island, with mountains and rivers destroyed, and seawater pouring in.

Even the distant sea surface seemed to have been cleaved in half by this Sword Qi.

“Is this really Magical Combat between Core Formation Cultivators?”

Huang Xiu looked up at the two figures above the sky, muttering to herself.

Zhu Guang’s name was known far and wide; she had heard of him before.

But this Xu Beimu who appeared out of nowhere, what kind of powerful figure was he to match Zhu Guang right away… no!

His strength was even above Zhu Guang!

After only a few glances, Huang Xiu could judge.

Because the two Flying Swords collided, Zhu Guang’s sword was consistently being pressed below, and even he himself was forced to retreat step by step.

After two consecutive tests, Ji Yuan then judged Zhu Guang’s strength.

Among the peak of the Core Formation, he was considered one of the strong ones.

But unfortunately, he encountered me, Ji Yuan!

Thus, while Zhu Guang had not yet retracted his Flying Sword, he released the second Purple Sky Divine Thunder!

“Creak—”

And when the first Purple Sky Divine Thunder appeared, Zhu Guang had already cast his spell, and the surface of his blood-colored sword body sprouted blood-colored scales.

In the end, the entire Flying Sword transformed into a giant snake covered in blood-colored scale armor, slithering toward Ji Yuan’s Canglan Sword to wrap around it.

The giant serpent entwined.

Ji Yuan immediately sensed the powerful pressure transmitted by the Flying Sword, feeling as though his Canglan Sword would truly break under the snake’s constriction.

“Divine Thunder, out!”

With this, Ji Yuan was merciless, originally intending to release one Purple Sky Divine Thunder, now he unleashed all the Purple Sky Divine Thunder within the Flying Sword.

When the exceptionally thick Purple Sky Divine Thunder struck the blood serpent, the entire snake’s body immediately straightened.

Then, a dense barrage of Purple Sky Divine Thunder attacked its surroundings. Though the blood serpent’s constriction was strong, it could not withstand this, and its body loosened, finally reverting into a blood-colored Flying Sword, which Zhu Guang reclaimed.

Zhu Guang, whose complexion was already unsightly, now looked even worse with his Flying Sword damaged.

“Purple Sky Divine Thunder, Purple Sky Divine Thunder again… Where did you get so many Purple Sky Stones!”

Zhu Guang had no doubt now; the Flying Sword of this cultivator before him was mostly made of Purple Sky Stones!

But where in the Xingluo Archipelago would so many Purple Sky Stones come from?

If there were one piece, it would only appear at exchanges among Nascent Soul Cultivators.

How could a mere Core Formation Cultivator possess so many Purple Sky Stones?

Standing high above, Ji Yuan coldly observed him but did not reply.

Because he had heard this question many times before.

Almost every cultivator who died under the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, and every knowledgeable cultivator, in their dying moments, had this question.

All curious about why Ji Yuan would have so many Purple Sky Stones.

Now Zhu Guang was no exception.

Ji Yuan extended a finger, and the previously integrated Canglan Sword scattered again, transforming into six swords that returned to his side.

The Flying Sword remained full of water transport, but due to the exhaustion of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, it lost its sharp aura.

Despite being pained over his damaged lifebound Flying Sword, Zhu Guang felt relieved to see that Ji Yuan’s sword had also lost the intimidation of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

There were losses, but also gains.

That was enough.

But just when he thought it would end like this, he watched as six identical swords flew back behind Ji Yuan, and then another six identical swords emerged, entwined with Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

“This…”

Before he could finish, Ji Yuan pointed a finger, and those six swords charged again.

‘Six swords were my previous limit. With my current Cultivation at the peak of Core Formation, I could fully drive nine Canglan Swords. Unfortunately, Zhu Guang alone cannot push me to that extent.’

While pondering this, Ji Yuan also dove down.

Since he had already gauged Zhu Guang’s depths, there was no need to waste more time.

This level of strength couldn’t provide me with any real challenge.

The best solution was naturally to resolve him quickly!

Facing the Flying Swords with Purple Sky Divine Thunder attacking again, it was unlikely that Zhu Guang could deny feeling anxious.

Purple Sky Divine Thunder essentially broke through everything by sheer force, ignoring all conventions.

There’s no reasoning to it.

Because of this, his previously cast Skill was also unlikely to be broken so quickly.

Seeing these approaching Flying Swords, Zhu Guang first picked up the Flying Sword in his hand, initially only about as long as a fingertip, and when he held it, it turned into a three-foot-long blade.

He swung it fiercely along Ji Yuan’s attacking direction.

In an instant, an exceptionally radiant blood-colored Sword Qi slashed out from the long sword in his hand.
