Chapter 214: You’re Not Special

Even though they were both technically on the same side, Li Xi, who was also a fanatic with the sword, couldn’t hold himself back! Shang Xia’s sword technique was too amazing and he had to experience it for himself.

After all, Shang Xia’s actions were too reckless! In Li Xi’s eyes, Shang Xia wasn’t taking this whole thing seriously!

They ran into a trap laid down by their enemies and they had to face more than thirty masked cultivators! If anything went wrong, people were going to die. However, Shang Xia still had the mood to train in his sword techniques!

That wasn’t the most ridiculous part. The scariest part of all of it was that Shang Xia’s training was actually that it was working! He managed to stop every single opponent standing against him!

It didn’t end there. He even managed to successfully comprehend his sword intent!

Everyone present felt a wave of humiliation wash over them. Li Xi was no exception!

One had to know that in the Beihai Institution, he was a genius in the way of the sword! Other people were his stepping stones to grow stronger! How could he accept it when Shang Xia was using him to train his sword art?

In Li Xi’s eyes, Shang Xia was going too far!

When he saw how Shang Xia’s sword was about to reveal the faces of one of those around him, he finally interfered.

Shang Xia noticed that the person who stopped him possessed impressive sword techniques right away!

The moment their swords clashed, a sword intent charged into Shang Xia’s sea of consciousness in an endless tide. One single strike like that was stronger than all the half-assed defenses he faced earlier.

Luckily for him, Shang Xia’s senses had been tuned by the many battles he had been through. After realizing that there was someone who was able to match up to him, he became a lot more cautious.

Li Xi didn’t wish to expose his identity so early on, and what better chance to ‘oppose’ the Shang Clan as per the wishes of those controlling the situation behind the scenes than to fight with Shang Xia? At the same time, he could also exchange pointers with an expert in the way of the sword!

Li Xi was burning with battle intent, but so was Shang Xia! He managed to comprehend the sword intent behind the Dual Interference Sword Manual and an opponent appeared at that exact moment! He wouldn’t miss the chance to refine his techniques in battle!

“Watch my sword!” Shang Xia yelled and started his offensive. His sword intent was released immediately.

Unwilling to show any weakness, Li Xi displayed his mastery over his Dusk Tide Sword Manual. Sword lights surged towards Shang Xia in an endless tide, threatening to overwhelm him.

Shang Xia’s mastery over the Dual Interference Sword Manual was impressive, but his opponent was no weakling! They were evenly matched for the time being!

True to its name, Li Xi’s sword qi rose and sank like the tide. It would rush towards Shang Xia ferociously in one moment and recede the next. As the sword lights returned to his side, they would form a powerful defense against the outside world!

One had to say that the Dusk Tide Sword Manual was really well balanced in terms of offense and defense. In Li Xi’s hands, the tempo of the battle slowly swayed his way.

Even if some weaknesses were revealed, he would quickly amend his technique to prevent his opponent from capitalizing on it.

In a flash, the two of them exchanged close to a hundred moves.

Their swords danced in mid air as sword light clashed against each other. In the distance, the two of them resembled two giant balls of light that were contesting to see whose glow was stronger. Their battle wrecked the street around them as many structures started to collapse.

It was clear that Li Xi’s mastery over his Dusk Tide Sword Manual allowed him to gain a small advantage over Shang Xia in the beginning stages of the battle. However, that was all he could do. As the battle dragged on, Shang Xia’s momentum became stronger and he showed faint signs of suppressing Li Xi. The light around Shang Xia grew larger and larger while forcing Li Xi back.

With a balanced offensive and defensive might, Li Xi’s Dusk Tide Sword Art could allow him to last for a long time in battle. However, Shang Xia’s Yin Yang Essence Qi was like a massive cheat code. His foundations were a lot stronger than Li Xi, and his reserves were larger too.

Shang Xia might not be able to contest against Li Xi in terms of technique alone but he made up for it in terms of inner qi.

As the battle raged on, it became clear that Li Xi was losing steam a lot faster than Shang Xia. Even though Li Xi was annoyed, he couldn’t do a thing about it!

Unwilling to take the L, Li Xi chose to risk it all. Leaping into the air, his low-grade weapon, the Blue Waves Sword, released a huge wave of energy. The space around them seemed to distort as a frightening power weighed down on Shang Xia.

That was his martial intent, the Sword Tide! With the ever-changing ebb and flow of the tide of sword qi, it seemed to possess enough power to swallow the heavens and devour the earth!

Facing the sudden change, Shang Xia seemed completely at ease. He wasn’t surprised at all.

Circulating his inner qi, Shang Xia released the two swords formed by the sword intent he comprehended after mastering the Dual Interference Sword Manual.

The Jade River Sword disappeared in his hand as sword lights surrounded him.

With one sword to hold up the heavens and one sword to anchor the earth, Shang Xia gathered the sword lights to release a single strike!

The one move seemed to contain immeasurable power!

Both strikes met in mid air and in the face of Shang Xia’s sword intent emerged as the victor. Li Xi’s Sword Tide was shattered into countless pieces.

When his broken sword intent caused sword qi to scatter chaotically, another change happened!

Li Xi changed his approach and shocked everyone present. The sword tide that was planning to swallow everything in its path transformed. Gathering back together, the sword lights pulsated a little more gently.

That was the true meaning behind his martial intent, the Sword Tide! Dusk would never remain forever. Dawn would break eventually no matter how dark the night and the tides would rise again!

At that instant, Shang Xia raised his eyebrow in shock. A secondary sword intent! In front of everyone present, a secondary sword intent appeared! It was the first time in the history of the Azure Origin World that anyone other than Shang Xia had seen a secondary sword intent! According to the knowledge of everyone in the Azure Origin World, it was not possible to possess more than one sword intent! That was also the reason Shang Ke was confused about Shang Xia’s sword art previously!

Li Xi’s secondary sword intent, Twilight, was revealed!

A thought flashed in Shang Xia’s mind at that instant.?The dao coincides with nature!

Ever since he gained some inspiration when sparring with Dongfang Mingyu the first time they met, he had never experienced anything like this. Now, Shang Xia’s view of the Azure Origin World changed once again.

They might not know about Yin and Yang and how the dao was contained in everything around them, but they were definitely smart enough to make inferences. They could experiment slowly and uncover all the secrets behind the dao!

No matter what, the era of cultivation barely started in the world. The history of cultivating didn’t even go back a thousand years!

If they took Shang Xia out of the equation, they would eventually be able to connect the dots and understand the theory behind yin and yang.

Li Xi’s sword art might cause Shang Xia to raise his eyebrows in shock, but it wouldn’t be able to change the course of the battle!
