Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 249: I’m Your Daddy

After Shang Xia comprehended his martial extremity intent, the Seven Laceration Sword, he discovered that he didn’t need to use a sword to use his martial intent.

With the Waning Moon Spear in hand, Shang Xia could still unleash his martial extremity intent.

Of course, using the seven different types of qi was all he could do. There was no way to unleash a sword formation with his spear.

Forced to retreat, a trace of fear lingered in Qin Daxing’s heart. Using the momentum of the backlash, he distanced himself from Shang Xia. At the same time, his mace whipped towards Song Yushu’s back.

Despite being focused on Tan Xinya, Song Yushu wasn’t oblivious to his surroundings. He felt a strange feeling coming from behind and he quickly leaped forward. Sending out 27 consecutive slashes. It stopped both Tan Xinya’s hooks and Qin Daxing’s mace.

Rolling on the ground after repelling their attacks, he cut a sorry figure.

Without Qin Daxing’s assistance, Ma Jianfan was thrown into a sticky situation. He leaped backward in a state of panic as he tried to widen the distance between himself and Shang Xia while tossing out his axes as distraction.

As the five of them battled, less than three moves had been exchanged per person when Song Yushu, Ma Jianfan, and Qin Daxing felt a mighty sense of oppression. Before the battle, they were extremely confident in their strength. Now, they had no choice but to admit that none of them was a match for Shang Xia if they fought him alone!

No matter how reluctant they were to accept the fact, that was the truth of the matter.

.

When they tried to imagine themselves in Shang Xia’s place, they discovered that they wouldn’t be able to escape without a scratch when facing the attack of three experts at their level.

They knew that Shang Xia was spent after so many consecutive exchanges, and one more attack would be all it took to defeat him. They might be able to continue attacking him under the rules they had set, but they would destroy their reputation in the process.

More importantly, the aim of their battle was to exchange pointers! It wasn’t a life-or-death struggle.

As a result, Shang Xia was able to gain precious time to catch his breath. The inner qi in his body continued to transform into Origin True Qi.

Due to the fact that Shang Xia’s Yin Yang Essence Qi was of extremely high quality, the transformation process became a lot smoother.

With Qin Daxing joining the skirmish between Tan Xinya and Song Yushu and Ma Jianfan retreating, no one bothered Shang Xia for now.

Casually picking up the axes that Ma Jianfan threw away, Shang Xia saw how Ma Jianfan drew two more axes from his sleeves. Instead of attacking Song Yushu who was currently being attacked by two other people, he went for Tan Xinya.

She could only choose to give up on her assault as she turned to face her new opponent.

According to the runes, Shang Xia couldn’t remain idle. He had to attack someone.

No longer hesitating, his Waning Moon Spear swept outwards and a giant spear formed from heaven and earth qi shot outwards. It went towards the four of them and those watching couldn’t help but gasp in shock. Was he planning to attack them at the same time?

Stopping their fight instantly, Qin Daxing and Song Yushu turned around to meet Shang Xia’s spear.

Qin Daxing swung his mace and the segments separated slightly. They stabbed into different parts of Shang Xia’s summoned spear. Grunting loudly, Qin Daxing sent some of his inner qi into his mace and shattered Shang Xia’s spear light.

Qin Daxing’s move seemed to be something he comprehended when he was in the Martial Extremity Realm, and it somewhat resembled Liu Qinglan’s style.

The instant Shang Xia’s spear light was broken, Song Yushu followed up. His sword stabbed towards Shang Xia and borrowed the heaven and earth qi that scattered due to the destruction of his spear light. A huge illusory sword appeared in the air before it chopped down towards Shang Xia.

Before the sword could land, Song Yushu saw Shang Xia twisting his wrist slightly. A cold light emerged from his sleeves and clashed against the sword light in the air.

A soft ring could be heard and a ray of frosty light in the air stopped momentarily. The appearance of Shang Xia’s Jade River Sword was revealed and it drew a beautiful arc through the skies. It seemed to possess a mind of its own as it sent a streak of qi towards Song Yushu without anyone’s control.

“Defensive Sword Art?!” Song Yushu revealed a look of shock.

As a disciple of the institution that specialized in the way of the sword, Song Yushu was clear about what a defensive sword art was. That was also the reason he was shocked by Shang Xia’s sudden revelation. It was extremely difficult to practice a sword art like that, and in order to bring out its full potential, one had to be in the Martial Extermination Realm.

When Song Yushu was about to unleash his own technique to break Shang Xia’s sword art, the glow around the Jade River Sword expanded yet again. When he slashed horizontally to block Shang Xia’s incoming strike, the Jade River Sword seemed to teleport and it appeared in front of his face, forcing him into a dangerous situation.

Luckily for him, he was a seasoned cultivator. He didn’t panic and at the last second, he released his grip on his sword. A strand of sword qi emerged from his fingers and landed directly on the Jade River Sword.

A loud blast rang through the air as Shang Xia’s sword was sent flying. With the threat dealt with, Song Yushu managed to retrieve his sword.

Naturally, Shang Xia’s Jade River Sword wasn’t done there. In the blink of an eye, it recovered and shot towards Song Yushu. As the man and sword exchanged close to twenty blows in a few breaths of time, sword qi filled the battlefield and the crowd outside the barrier gasped in shock.

After several more moves, Song Yushu finally managed to suppress the Jade River Sword. He was about to strike it down when a voice rang in his ears. “Song Yushu, what do you think you’re doing?!”

Raising his head in fright, he discovered Shang Xia smashing his spear heavily into Qin Daxing’s mace. The powerful blow sent Qin Daxing flying out of the barrier.

Without anyone’s assistance, Qin Daxing was easily defeated by Shang Xia.

To summarize what happened earlier, Shang Xia used three moves to send Qin Daxing flying. His first move shattered Qin Daxing’s martial extremity intent, his second move overpowered Qin Daxing’s martial art he practiced in the Martial Intent Realm. His third move was the one witnessed by Song Yushu.

It seemed as though Qin Daxing of the Yanmen Institution was the first to be eliminated in the battle royale among the Martial Intent Realm disciples!
