Chapter 1289: Broke Even
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
When the dust faded away, Ye Xiao and Wu Fa were both back to a thousand miles away. A slash of cold light moved across the sky, cutting the space into pieces!
It was a sword that appeared in Wu Fa’s hand.
The sword was in a simple style, all black, but with howling sword breath, which was shaking the stars.
Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian couldn’t believe what they saw.
The world’s most powerful cultivator, Wu Fa, actually used his sword! He actually took out his sword while Xiao Monarch was empty-handed!
Wu Fa’s dark face turned a little bit red, and there was a bloodstain on his lips.
Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian were even more astonished when they noticed it.
[Wu Fa is hurt? Is that why he took out a weapon first?]
[Does it mean… Wu Fa was the one who was in a negative situation?]
[How… How was that possible?]
[Maybe Ye Xiao is hurt worse, isn’t he?]
When they looked at Ye Xiao, they found Ye Xiao’s face all red, and there was also bloodstain on his lips. He still looked cold and calm, just kept moving flexibly to get away from Wu Fa’s attacks.
Even though Wu Fa had already taken out a weapon, Ye Xiao still held nothing in hand. It seemed he didn’t want to take out his weapons.
Wu Fa humphed and said, “Ye Xiao, you better use your Monarch’s Sword now!”
Ye Xiao coldly replied, “When I need it, it will appear. However, I don’t think I need it yet. Your attacks suck!”
Wu Fa sneered, “Ye Xiao, a few bragging words won’t give you the victory. Do you think you can talk me off? This is naive and childish. We are in a great battle. Even a lion should do its best to fight a rabbit. You are only digging your own tomb at the moment!”
Ye Xiao sneered to reply, “Oh, really? If you are really so confident, you wouldn’t need these trash talks, do you? Is this what a most powerful cultivator like? Who’s being naive here?”
Wu Fa laughed, “The man in the highest position needs to have his heart and his sword both dark. My sword is black. My heart is black. I never cover anything. No matter what I do, I just do it. I would do anything it takes to win. Shameless, naive, I don’t care. Who wins the battle tells the history!”
Ye Xiao spoke loudly, “It makes sense. Well, let’s see who is going to tell the history of this fight!”
Wu Fa didn’t answer anymore and just made a raging roar. His sword light suddenly covered the entire land.
The sword lights were emitting cold qi, cutting the space into pieces.
He had already performed his full power now.
No matter how casually he talked to Ye Xiao, he was terrified deep inside his heart. When he made a palm attack to block Ye Xiao’s palm attack from the sky, which had collapsed the entire mountain range, he had poured a bit of his demonic energy into the palm strike.
The demonic energy was some pure Yin qi from where the Divine Yin Yang Fruit originated. Such demonic energy was incompatible with the human body, but because the Divine Yin Yang Fruit worked as a bridge between the two sides, the demonic energy was able to get into people’s bodies.
Wu Fa had taken the fruit for many years. He had noticed the demonic energy for a long time, but he wasn’t able to use it when he found it. After he finally took control of it, he could never drive it out of his body anymore. As time went by, he was becoming more and more demonic, and he would become a demon in the end.
Wu Fa was about seventy percent demonic now!
When Erhuo worked on the Divine Yin Yang Fruits, it was exactly removing the pure yin demonic qi from the fruits. Wu Fa wasn’t as lucky as Ye Xiao, so he had to absorb all the demonic qi into his body!
Everything had at least two sides. The demonic qi was harmful, but it brought Wu Fa a significant advantage. Wu Fa was able to inject demonic energy into his attacks to make sure his attack would bring him victory!
The pure yin demonic qi had such immense power that it should be in the power level of the Human Realm Upon Heavens. No ordinary force in Qing-Yun Realm could defeat it, which meant this was Wu Fa’s unique murderous skill.
Wu Fa had become the best in the world for many years, so he barely used the demonic energy. He had never used it in a practical fight. It was his secret skill that could save himself in case anything unexpected happened!
The attack contained the power of his demonic qi, which meant it was invincible. Wu Fa knew that even he himself would be knocked down by the attack he just made. As he made this attack, he was going to take Ye Xiao’s life within one hit.
As the world’s best cultivator, he actually broke even in the fight against Xiao Monarch. He felt disgraced already.
Now that he had occupied the upper position, he decided to force Xiao Monarch to make a hard crash with him. With the demonic energy in the attack, Wu Fa believed Ye Xiao would at least be disabled immediately.
However, unexpectedly, when their palms touched each other, he clearly felt something inside Xiao Monarch’s hand—a tremendous power which he had never experienced before!
The power was tremendous with awe-inspiring righteousness!
It was exactly the bane of Wu Fa’s demonic energy!
Aside from that, a flow of purple qi rose up and stopped Wu Fa’s attack!
Wu Fa got the worst of the crash this time!
Ye Xiao had reached the top of cultivation in Qing-Yun Realm because of his series of luck, but he was still a little bit weaker than Wu Fa, who had been an ultimate level cultivator for many years. If they purely fought with spiritual power, Ye Xiao would definitely get defeated.
However, the world was exactly that unpredictable. If Wu Fa didn’t use the demonic energy, Ye Xiao’s purple energy might not appear in his palm strike. In fact, if Wu Fa didn’t use the demonic energy, the purple energy might not be able to hurt Wu Fa. How lucky! The murderous demonic energy attack activated the counterattack of the divine purple qi. When the palm strikes crashed, the demonic energy was instantly destroyed.
It was too late to make a change on the palm strike. Wu Fa was badly hit by Ye Xiao. The spiritual power inside Wu Fa’s dantian was instantly stirred into a mess.
The demonic energy was destroyed. Wu Fa got directly hit by Ye Xiao’s attack, and his inner energy flow went into chaos. Even though he was so powerful, he wasn’t indestructible.
