Chapter 1355

Flaming Sword Kill.

Superior Level One Battle Skill. Even in the outside world, this kind of Battle Skill was very high-end. It was a King Level Battle Skill that was specially prepared for the peak of the First Level Domain. However, in the outside world, even some Second Level Domain cultivators might not be able to obtain it.

Little flames danced, forming an oppressive space that enveloped Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's speed was greatly reduced as he was trapped in the space. At the same time, a dangerous aura came from the sword Qi in front of him.

"Die."

Xu Ming smiled at Zi Chen ferociously as he watched the endless flames engulf Zi Chen.

Xu Ming was very confident in his attack because his comprehension ability was considered top-notch compared to the cultivators in the entire Manor Realm.

It took him hundreds of years to comprehend a superior Level One Battle Skill. During these hundreds of years, Xu Ming had been suppressing his level and not allowing it to break through.

In fact, Xu Ming was not the only one. Many families in Yanbo Castle also cultivated their own family members in advance when they learned that the Manor Realm had opened.

Similarly, in the other hundreds of cities in the Shuntian Prefecture, those with a little bit of background would cultivate talents who would enter the Manor Realm in the future hundreds of years in advance.

Some of the low-end talents had only comprehended entry-level Battle Skills, such as Luguang City and Sibei City, which were less than a hundred. As for the slightly stronger cultivators, such as the cultivators in Liao Wei City, who were ranked below ninety, knew some mid-grade Battle Skills. Finally, the higher-end cultivators, who were ranked above ninety, knew one or two superior Battle Skills.

Of course, an old city like Huping City that had been around for tens of thousands of years was not included.

"Boom!"

The flames exploded in front of Xu Ming, and a powerful energy wave spread out. The space where the battle took place began to distort violently as waves of destructive power rippled out.

Xu Ming's lips gradually curled into a ferocious smile. This was his strongest move, and it should be able to kill this arrogant Reality Realm cultivator.

However, before his smile could fully bloom, the ferocious smile slowly froze. A powerful aura suddenly rushed out of the flames, and then a dazzling golden light cut through the flames and slashed toward Xu Ming.

"Ha."

Xu Ming's expression turned serious in the face of this attack, but he did not panic in the face of danger. He swung his longsword forward, and the tip of the sword touched the golden light.

"Boom!"

An even more violent wave of energy swept out, causing Xu Ming to retreat more than ten steps. In front of him, Zi Chen had also retreated from the shockwave of energy, completely unscathed. Around his body, the defensive armor formed by the Scale Shield Flame Foal reappeared.

"He's actually not injured."

Xu Ming's expression gradually darkened when he saw that Zi Chen wasn't injured in the slightest. He knew very well how powerful his attack was. Even a Domain Realm expert would suffer a great loss if they didn't possess a battle skill of the same level as his, let alone a mere Reality Realm expert.

Swoosh.

Xu Ming tapped his foot and charged forward again with his sword in hand. On the sharp sword light, specks of flames spread out. His eyes were cold and filled with killing intent.

"Decapitation."

With a low shout, the black saber light in Zi Chen's hand turned into a resplendent gold as it chopped towards the sword in front of him.

Clang.

When the sword and saber collided, a clanging sound rang out and sparks flew in all directions.

A powerful wave of energy spread out in all directions. Zi Chen and Xu Ming retreated once again as a long crack split open in the middle, spreading all the way to their feet.

Xu Ming's gloomy expression was somewhat ugly as he forcefully suppressed his churning blood. He originally thought that he could easily finish off this Reality Realm expert, but he didn't expect his opponent to be so difficult to deal with.

At the end of the crack, a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Zi Chen's mouth. He didn't even need to use this much energy to deal with Chuan Xing in the outside world, but it was so difficult to deal with Xu Ming, who was at the same level. This indirectly showed how terrifying a Domain Realm expert who knew a King Level Battle Skill was.

"Die."

Cold voices sounded from their mouths at almost the same time. Then, the two turned into two beams of light and charged at each other.

The beams of light met in the sky. Sounds of collision rang out from the beams of light, and powerful energy surged out in all directions like a tidal wave.

"Flaming Sword Kill."

"Decapitation."

Similar angry shouts continued to ring out.

In the distance, Wu Xie and the others were very anxious when they saw that Zi Chen's attack was not successful. After killing all the Yanbo Castle cultivators, they quickly rushed over.

But halfway there, a figure blocked Wu Xie's path. It was a second level War Spirit.

"Get lost."

Wu Xie roared. At this moment, he didn't care about tangling with the War Spirit. A beam of light emitting a powerful aura shot towards the War Spirit from between his eyebrows.

The second level War Spirit shook the long spear in his hand and pointed it at the attack. Then, boundless energy surged and the attack was instantly destroyed by the War Spirit.

But in the next moment, Wu Xie turned into a beam of light. Holding a long sword, he passed through the vibrating energy and hit the War Spirit's forehead between its eyebrows.

"Pfft."

The War Spirit dissipated as the War Spirit was pierced through. Wu Xie continued to rush forward.

Just as Wu Xie rushed forward, the others also rushed towards the depths, wanting to help Zi Chen.

But before they could help, they had to stay alive first.

"Ah!"

A mournful scream echoed in this world. It was a cultivator from Luguang City. He was no match for the second level War Spirit and his chest was pierced through.

"Little Fifth." Jia Wei turned his head and looked at the cultivator with a pained expression.

Little Fifth died and collapsed. The War Spirit's figure also dissipated.

When the group arrived here, there were casualties again.

In front of them, the energy was still vibrating. The two turned into beams of light and tangled with each other for a while before dispersing again.

Traces of blood flowed out from the corner of Zi Chen's mouth. Xu Ming's hair was disheveled and the armor on his body was broken in many places. He looked very miserable.

"You should be proud of yourself for forcing me into such a state as a mere Corporeal Realm practitioner. Your strength isn't bad and your technique comprehension isn't bad either. Unfortunately, the difference between the two of us isn't that great. It's impossible for you to kill me." Xu Ming looked at Zi Chen and coldly smiled.

"Is it impossible?"

Zi Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Xu Ming. The latter's strength was something he had not expected. The first failure of his hopeless attempt to behead Zi Chen had dealt a blow to his heart.

"If you want to kill me, your strength will have to double again. But how is that possible? But at the same time, if I want to kill you, I will need to increase my strength."

A hint of a smile suddenly appeared in Xu Ming's cold eyes. "And I just so happen to have a method to increase my strength. You are very lucky. Originally, I was going to save it for killing the War Spirit. Fortunately, I will use it on you first."

With a cold smile, a milky white bead appeared in Xu Ming's hand. The bead emitted a faint halo and an extremely oppressive aura gushed out from it.

Zi Chen's sharp senses sensed a powerful aura from the bead. This aura contained an extremely strong destructive power. Unfortunately, he did not recognize this bead.

In the distance, Wu Xie and the others also sensed the terror of the bead. Their expressions changed drastically.

"This is the Spirit Gathering Bead."

The charging Shi Zhenwei immediately stopped when he saw the white bead. He let out a cry of surprise, his eyes filled with shock.

Xu Ming held the Spirit Gathering Bead in his hand. Even the distant War Spirit's cold eyes flashed.

Xu Ming turned his head and glanced at Shi Zhenwei in surprise. He smiled faintly and said, "You are quite knowledgeable. Not bad, this is the Spirit Gathering Bead. As for the power contained within, it is the strongest attack of a mid first layer Domain realm cultivator. This attack is almost comparable to a peak first layer Domain realm cultivator."

Zi Chen's expression turned a lot more serious when he heard this. He was confident that he would not be defeated by Xu Ming, but it was impossible for him to block this attack unscathed.

However, he was not the slightest bit afraid. Xu Ming had the Spirit Gathering Bead, so did he. On the other hand, Zi Chen still had several tricks up his sleeve. Now, it all depended on which one he chose.

He took a deep breath. The resplendent golden light around his body became even more dazzling in the next moment. Then, a berserk aura surged.

"It's useless. Even if you push your power to the limit, you are still only in the Corporeal Realm."

Xu Ming laughed mockingly when he saw the golden light around Zi Chen. Then, he held the Spirit Gathering Bead with one hand and began to absorb the power within.

"Is that so? Are you so sure?"

Zi Chen laughed coldly. Another ray of light appeared in the golden light around his body. This time, it was a ray of silver light.

At first, Xu Ming thought that it was the light from the Heavenly Thunder Wings on Zi Chen's back. Therefore, he wanted to mock him a little more. However, he soon realized that the power was actually emitted from Zi Chen's body. Moreover, this power was not any weaker than the one Zi Chen had used before. The dazzling silver light then occupied half of Zi Chen's body.

One gold and one silver. The two powers were once again mobilized by Zi Chen at the same time.

As for Zi Chen, the already violent aura around him became even more violent.

"Now, let's see who will die."

Zi Chen coldly snorted. Gold and silver light swirled around the black blade in his hand. Waves of powerful yin and yang energy poured into the black blade at the same time.

The originally long black blade turned into gold and silver in the next moment. Even the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast's soul shadow on the blade turned into gold and silver.

Before he even attacked, the spatial energy around Zi Chen's body was already distorted to the point that it looked like it was about to shatter. Wave after wave of berserk energy rushed out in all directions like a tidal wave. Wherever the energy aura passed, ripples would appear in the space around them.

Xu Ming sensed the power of Zi Chen's attack, but he was not afraid. He coldly snorted, "Hmph. It seems that you are the same as me, borrowing power. Let's see who is stronger."

As his words fell, a crazy suction force emerged from Xu Ming's palm. The Spirit Gathering Bead that was originally filled with energy instantly lost a third of its power.

It seemed that a third was Xu Ming's limit. The energy in his body started to become extremely unstable. His ice-cold eyes turned crazy, as if he was about to lose his mind.

"Die! Flaming Sword Kill!"
