My gorgeous wife Chapter 2417 - 2385: The Rhythm of Battle
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
Nine Heavens Continent, whether from the plane’s grade or stability, surpasses Purple Fir Continent by more than one rank.
This is true in terms of the completeness and stability of the plane.
It’s precisely because of this that even when Palm Realm level powerhouses engage in combat here, under the relatively complete plane’s Heavenly Dao, it won’t cause severe consequences like on the Purple Fir Continent.
Simply put, the Nine Heavens Continent can fully withstand the combat of Palm Realm level powerhouses.
At this moment, Kong Xuanzi is looking at Yu Xiu with a puzzled expression.
Looking down at the wound on his chest, he doesn’t even know how the other party saw through his trace.
Space Law not only excels in escape but also possesses the eerie ability to move unseen and kill. Kong Xuanzi’s greatest strengths are the Spatial and Darkness Laws.
These two laws combined can transform oneself into a dark shadow, finding the opponent’s weak point in the most concealed movement, thereby defeating the enemy in one fell swoop.
Kong Xuanzi initially thought this way.
Yu Xiu, known as the Crippled Blade Ancestor, is undoubtedly a Palm Realm powerhouse who excels in hard battles.
Purely hard fighting wouldn’t allow him to gain much advantage, so to defeat Yu Xiu swiftly, he must use his best skills.
However, unexpectedly, Yu Xiu anticipated his moving trajectory, forcing him out with a single slash and causing serious injuries.
This... is it really something that a Heaven and Earth Realm cultivator, who hasn’t even reached Half-Saint level, could achieve?
But, obviously, he doesn’t know that although Yu Xiu couldn’t discern his moving trajectory, it doesn’t mean others couldn’t.
Li Chen has a strange smile on his face.
Space merging with darkness for movement?
Li Chen might not have researched the Darkness Law deeply, but the Space Law?
Honestly, even if Kong Xuanzi is a semi-saint, using Space Law before Li Chen seems somewhat like showing off inferior skills.
Though Space Law is reputed as the strongest of plasticity movement laws, it still has traces to follow.
And once the moving trajectory is found, even Space Law completely loses its function.
Others cannot find Kong Xuanzi’s moving trajectory, but Li Chen, who has delved deeply into Space Law and measures using the Law of Cause and Effect, can’t see it?
If Li Chen’s cultivation wasn’t lacking now, even Li Chen before heading to the Eight Directions Star, such Space Law would be merely a joke in his eyes.
Too immature!
"Good! As expected of the Crippled Blade Ancestor!" Kong Xuanzi’s expression is somewhat unsightly; looking coldly at Yu Xiu: "I really underestimated you."
Yu Xiu remains silent; since Li Chen hasn’t spoken, naturally he wouldn’t reveal it was due to Li Chen’s guidance.
"Since this is the case, henceforth I won’t hold back anymore!" Kong Xuanzi says coldly, "Bring it on!"
With that, Kong Xuanzi ascends to higher altitudes, for if too close to the ground, even though Nine Heavens Continent is incomparably stable, the aftermath of their level battle spreading out means nothing can exist within a range of a million miles.
"Then I shall experience Kong Xuanzi’s semi-saint prowess!" Yu Xiu’s words spur a heroic spirit within him.
He’s curious about how powerful the so-called semi-saint really is.
Because having touched the threshold of the Palm Source Realm, he is very close to this realm.
"Do not follow his rhythm, fight according to your own rhythm; ideally, draw him into your battle rhythm," Li Chen’s voice, as calm as still water, enters Yu Xiu’s ears again, "For only in your rhythm do you have the possibility of defeating him."
"I understand, thank you for the senior’s guidance." Yu Xiu nods earnestly.
He doesn’t become complacent for injuring Kong Xuanzi because he knows it was all Li Chen’s merit. Between him and Kong Xuanzi, there’s still quite a gap.
Below, a group of ancient ancestors silently observes the battle.
Above, the two powerhouses finally begin their intense battle.
There are no unnecessary words; this time, the two powerhouses directly unfold the pseudo-universe in a very explosive collision.
"Dark Realm Black Prison!"
Kong Xuanzi raises a finger, and around Yu Xiu, countless black laws surge instantly, along with shimmering silver light.
That is the Space Law flickering.
Undoubtedly, this is a fusion series Great Divine Power; once trapped within, even with Yu Xiu’s strength, escaping is out of the question.
If he resists this divine skill with full force, Kong Xuanzi would surely launch another attack, causing Yu Xiu to completely fall into his rhythm, struggling constantly.
The nature of Palm Realm combat is such; from one strike’s outcome, much can be discerned.
Ready to shatter the surrounding Black Prison Divine Skill, Yu Xiu suddenly recalls Li Chen’s words.
"Do not fall into his rhythm! This way, even if you hold against him briefly, it would merely be struggling, let alone defeating him."
Yu Xiu grits his teeth, surprisingly ignoring the encroaching dark space prison, instead, fully deploying the Crippled Blade in his hand and gathering its violent power.
"Dao of Shattering Mirrors!"
"The Great Dao is fifty, the flaw eludes!"
In Yu Xiu’s hand, the Crippled Blade explodes in an incomparable luminous brilliance.
Witnessing this, it seems the Crippled Blade gradually reaches perfection within the luminous glory, completing the nicked blade tip!
"Crippled Strike!"
In an instant, Yu Xiu slashes.
This is his Way of the Palm Realm, and his strongest attack.
Just like his Crippled Blade, Yu Xiu’s Way of the Palm Realm follows the path of ’imperfection’.
In his Dao, nothing is perfect, because even when the Great Dao is fifty, only forty-nine remains, with one missing, let alone cultivators.
This slash seeks any ’imperfection’ or weakness within the cultivator.
Then, breach the weak point!
"Are you insane?!"
Even Kong Xuanzi stutters a breath amidst such a terrifying attack, taken aback.
If struck by this, even his cultivation won’t prevent severe injury, since this could be Yu Xiu’s desperate strike.
And Yu Xiu trapped in his Dark Realm Black Prison becomes an easy prey.
But the issue is, if this results in mutual destruction, neither Kong Xuanzi nor Yu Xiu benefits!
Mutual destruction, what’s its use?
He’s not here to suffer mutual destruction with someone!
"Damn it!"
Instantly, Kong Xuanzi ceases fortifying the Dark Realm Black Prison skill, opting for full defense.
No matter what, it’s paramount to evade this terrifying slash first.
But he doesn’t see that as he shifts to defense, both Li Chen and Yu Xiu’s lips curve into a smile.
