Armipotent

Chapter 1241 Sword Domain

?

Tang Shaoyang was flung away from the explosion. He easily gained his footing back and looked down in his right hand. His right hand was trembling from the impact of the clash. His current attributes were at the peak of Legend Rank with his bloodline transformation and also Spirit Integration. He was still surprised that his opponent was stronger than him even though his opponent did not have a bloodline.

He still had not used his Infernal Wrath, the skill that boosted his attributes even more. There was no more testing his limit, using everything as he activated Infernal Wrath. He checked his Window Status, and he almost reached the peak of Demi-God Rank's attributes. His average attributes were 70-Star Demi-God Rank.

Right after he activated his Infernal Wrath, sword energy cut through the explosion, going straight at Tang Shaoyang. Tang Shaoyang swung his battle ax right toward the sword's energy. The sword's energy crumbled into a small explosion but posed no harm to Tang Shaoyang.

As the small explosion dispersed, Kadir was right in front of him with his sword. Not just the sword in his hand, but hundreds if not thousands of swords, surrounding him from all sides. Blink was on cooldown, so he could not escape from their encirclement just like he did before. The only option was a block.

Seventh Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Tortoise - Heavenly Shell.

Tang Shaoyang's whole body was covered in a black shell formed by the Heavenly Energy. A thousand swords descended as Kadir's sword also reached the shell.

BOOM!

A figure leaped backward from the explosion. Kadir got to a safe distance from the explosion. He looked at the tip of his sword before looking at the explosion with a frown, "Heavenly Energy…" He muttered in a low voice as he found out Tang Shaoyang could use Heavenly Energy, 'Is he from High Heaven?'

There was a faction and God Alliance called The High Heaven. One of the strong factions he knew outside there, and the people from the High Heaven had a unique energy called Heavenly Energy instead of using mana. He knew about this High Heaven because one of the White Mystery Candidates could use Heavenly Energy. This person ran away from the High Heaven after his family was prosecuted by the High Heaven, and the White Mystery took this person to join them.

The explosion dispersed as a figure stood right in the middle of the explosion. Kadir knew that his sword failed to break the shell, but he grew a little bit cautious after knowing Tang Shaoyang could use Heavenly Energy. A strong God Alliance was after his life, and he did not want the High Heaven to hunt him because he killed one of them.

"Are you from the High Heaven?"

"You have a lot of questions, hah?" Tang Shaoyang was unscathed from the attack. The Heavenly Shell was still intact after receiving such a big blow. He put his battle on his shoulder with his left hand forward, "I don't have time to satisfy your curiosity."

Ninth Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Azure Dragon - Heavenly Annihilation.

Tang Shaoyang's figure blurred and along with him, an Azure Dragon formed right behind him. The Azure Dragon moved along with the battle. As he swung the battle ax downward at Kadir, the Azure Dragon form dove toward Kadir.

The Heavenly Energy outburst swallowed a big area, including the Guardian Gate. Kadir and Tang Shaoyang were inside the energy explosion that almost covered a thousand meters area. The shock wave went further as the trees got swept with the explosion, devastating the area.

As the explosion slowly dispersed, two figures still clashed inside it. Kadir survived the Heavenly Annihilation with no major injuries. In fact, he took the initiative to actively push Tang Shaoyang with his continuous sword attack.

Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!

The sound of the sword clashed against the battle ax resounded in the air. Kadir's movement was flawless and smooth, giving Tang Shaoyang no chance to counter him. After blocking The Ninth Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Annihilation, Kadir immediately realized that the one he faced was not someone he could underestimate. If he lowered his guard just a little bit, he might die instead of killing his target. He was not going to let his target execute the big technique again, but that also made him unable to use his big technique that needed more preparation. It was a pure fight of the swordsman.

Clank!

Tang Shaoyang once more blocked the sword. He put his battle ax horizontally up, blocking the sword coming from above, "You are not able to kill me with just this." He raised his right foot and stomped the ground, Earth Split.

The ground split and the falling Kadir was about to land at the splitting ground, but he managed to get away from the pit with a push with his left foot. There was an energy that pushed him from falling into the pit. As he landed to the side, the splitting closed up and was followed up by the booming noise. The ground was shaking from the impact. He might not die from that, but he would suffer a heavy injury if he was unprepared.

Kadir looked at the closing pit and Tang Shaoyang. His eyes then brightened up as he realized something about Tang Shaoyang, "I see… You are not from the High Heaven, or else you will have the basics. You get the skills, raw strength, and big techniques, but you don't have the basics. You don't know how to fight properly, you are just swinging your weapon with your raw strength and skill, nothing else. I am worried for nothing."

Kadir cracked his neck and pushed his sword down to the ground, "Welcome to my Sword Domain, and I will show you what you lack." The sword energy came out of his body, forming a sphere, around a hundred meters in diameter. That was Kadir's Sword Domain. He could move anywhere in a blink in his Sword Domain, and the sphere followed his movement because the domain's center was Kadir. Kadir's figure disappeared and appeared right behind Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang saw Kadir coming from behind, he saw that with his Spirit Eyes. However, he also saw ten crescent blades made of Sword Energy around him. Three from above, two to the front, three to the left, and another two crescent blades to the right. He had no choice but to use Heavenly Shell. The Tortoise Shell formed around and reflected all the crescent blades along with Kadir's sword. He turned around to confront Kadir face to face, but Kadir moved to the other side in a blink while another twenty crescent blades formed around Tang Shaoyang.

"How long are you going to hide under your filthy shell, filthy beast!" Kadir's roar resounded as the crescent blade rained down on the shell.

After twenty blades, forty blades formed. After forty blades attacked Tang Shaoyang, another eighty blades formed. It kept going on, raining down on the supposedly unbreakable shell which slowly showed its weakness and started to form cracks under the barrage of sword energy attack.

Tang Shaoyang tried to use Blink to get out of the sword domain, but it was futile. Kadir easily followed him wherever he went. The big issue was that he could not find Kadir. He saw him with his Spirit Eyes, but his figures kept blinking, moving freely inside the Sword Domain. Kadir kept moving every three seconds, giving Tang Shaoyang no chance to counterattack.

Tang Shaoyang pushed his battle ax down to the ground and formed a sword with his Slayer Energy. He needed a sword to use the Fifth Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Sword. As soon as he formed his sword, he used the technique right after Kadir changed his spot.

Fifth Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Sword - Severing Heaven Slash.

He released the sword energy toward Kadir, swallowing the crescent blades in its path. However, again, Kadir easily avoided the attack while more crescent blades formed around him.

"You don't have the basics. Your attack has no purpose, you can't do anything when you miss your attack, what an utter fool! You are thinking of killing a God Rank with your pathetic ability? What a fool," Kadir's voice echoed in the air.

Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle, "Said someone who relied on his Sword Domain? That's quite big coming from you. Come! Fight me face to face, you coward!"

The Heavenly Shell was on the verge of breaking, but he still failed to hit Kadir. Soon, the Heavenly Shell broke into pieces. As the shell broke apart, Kadir appeared right in front of Tang Shaoyang. The timing was perfect, and he immediately thrust the sword toward Tang Shaoyang's heart. Kadir's sword shone in gold as it pierced right at Tang Shaoyang's heart.

Tang Shaoyang's eyes widened as blood started to come out of his mouth. Kadir did not stop there, he pulled the sword and pierced in the same area, but a little bit different from the former, "Do you think I don't know that you have three hearts?" Kadir smirked, "I wonder what would happen if I pierce all of your hearts." As Kadir said that, he pierced Tang Shaoyang's third heart.
