As Peerless Sword unleashed an astonishing aura, Sima Xiaoyao's brow suddenly flickered, and an intangible blade light formed entirely by blade intent slashed out, continuously cutting and tearing Peerless Sword's aura apart.

At this moment, above the arena, the wind surged and clouds swirled, two massive clusters of clouds gathered into the shapes of two giant dragons, vying against each other, their aura swallowing the mountains and rivers, turning the world ashen.

"Return to the Origin!"

Facing such a formidable enemy like Peerless Sword, Sima Xiaoyao discarded all probes and directly launched his killing move, aiming straight at Peerless Sword.

Eight blade lights combined in a frenzy towards Peerless Sword. These eight lights seemed piled together haphazardly, but in fact, they formed a blade formation through mystical arrangement, pushing back with force from each angle, power ceaseless, blades undispersed, not only incredibly strong but also unbreakable.

"Heavenly Sword Formation!"

Peerless Sword stood proudly, waving his hand, his Treasure Sword suddenly splitting into four, then into eight. Eight sword qi combined into a cylinder shape, rapidly shooting forward.

Bang! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The sword formation and blade formation collided fiercely, interwoven in the void, dazzling sparks burst forth, causing a storm of air energy to sweep in all directions, spreading to the protective shield of the arena, causing the entire shield to rapidly expand, like a balloon about to burst, showing signs of being deformed by massive force.

Warriors watching near the arena couldn't help but be apprehensive and uneasy, their faces turning pale.

The strength of these two actually reached such a level. You should know, the strength of this shield is set based on the level of a Saint, meaning that the intensity of the confrontation between Peerless Sword and Sima Xiaoyao was close to a Saint's level battle.

How terrifying!

These two, but merely young individuals!

"No wonder it's the first clash of the Hidden Dragon List of north and south, truly extraordinary!"

A warrior marveling said.

"This should be one of the most exciting matches of this Heavenly Sword Tournament!"

Another young warrior nodded, even if this match wasn't the most thrilling, it was surely the top, both sides reached the peak of the young generation.

Many people nodded, focusing intently on the arena, afraid to miss a spectacular scene.

"Broken Water Flow, Wave Treading Strike!"

At the moment when both offensives were annihilated, Sima Xiaoyao had already flashed forward dozens of meters, arriving in front of Peerless Sword, his blade's momentum, like a surging river, boundless, with one strike, seemingly treading a giant wave, a blade severing the sea flow.

The violent blade momentum truly attacked Peerless Sword like billowing waves, attempting to overturn Peerless Sword's aura, breaking the latter's ever-stable stance like Mount Tai.

"Sword that Defines the World!"

Peerless Sword swiveled his Treasure Sword out, and at that instant, a thousand-zhang giant sword appeared before him, towering on the arena, as if truly a sword from beyond the heavens, instantly fixing the aura on the arena.

No matter how violent Sima Xiaoyao's blade technique was, raging, the thousand-zhang giant sword stood unwavering, sealing all the blade lights.

One sword out, the state is set!

How overbearing it is!

At various positions around the arena, including Liu Mengru, Ling Chen, Murong Ziying, and other top ten geniuses, all had solemn expressions, evidently, everyone was astonished by Peerless Sword's strength and aura.

This person truly has the aura of a king among the young generation.

Though Sima Xiaoyao was also highly powerful, in front of Peerless Sword, as a king of the young generation, he clearly lacked something.

"How about it, feeling a lot of pressure?"

Just as Ling Chen was pondering, Liu Mengru's voice suddenly came to his ears.

Ling Chen turned his head to see her smiling brightly at him, a glowing smile on her beautiful face.

"Yes. I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel this way."

Ling Chen didn't deny it, nodding, this Peerless Sword indeed lived up to his reputation, worthy of being ranked just after Taibai Sword Immortal and Empress Yunyao on the Ten Thousand Years Green History Wall.

"Of course, look at them, they seem as if facing a great enemy."

Liu Mengru glanced at the other top ten contestants, her smile slightly restrained, then said, "After all, there are very few who can force Peerless Sword to use part of his full power, Sima Xiaoyao counts as one."

"Among these very few, there's also Your Excellency, isn't it?"

Ling Chen said blandly.

Among the younger generation, only Liu Mengru could be on par with Peerless Sword, they were even called the "Peerless Twin Prides" of the young generation, which spoke volumes of their prowess.

"This guy is indeed a monster, elder sister might not be his match."

Liu Mengru's beautiful eyes rarely showed a trace of solemnity, then she turned her head, looking at Ling Chen, "Do you know what the most terrifying thing in the world is?"

Ling Chen was slightly taken aback, "What is it?"

Liu Mengru retracted her gaze, said, "The most terrifying thing in the world is when someone not only has better aptitude than you but also works harder than you."

"If it's only aptitude that's better, it can be compensated through postnatal effort. But when someone with better aptitude than you also works harder, then you'll never have a chance to catch up."

Hearing these words, Ling Chen couldn't help contemplating, indeed, the words were quite reasonable.

"That's what Peerless Sword is like."

Liu Mengru added and then looked solemnly at Peerless Sword on the arena, "Competing with someone like this, any slight carelessness, and they'll leave you far behind."

Ling Chen didn't speak, agreeing silently, the competition among geniuses, especially among top demons, was always incredibly brutal, not allowing for a moment's rest, once there's any slack, you'll fall behind, even be kicked out of the ranks of geniuses.

The achievements Peerless Sword reached might have a lot of connection with his identity and background, yet countless people could rival his background, why is it that in the royal family, there's only one Peerless Sword?

"The victor will soon be decided."

Just as Ling Chen was pondering, Liu Mengru's voice suddenly came over, disrupting Ling Chen's train of thought. He quickly raised his head, only to see the fluctuations on the arena had reached an incredible level, the protective shield continuously expanding, tumultuous.

Peerless Sword clearly used a killer move, under his overwhelming sword pressure, Sima Xiaoyao's entire surrounding area was bound, like a cage, even the Protective True Qi on his body seemed to retract internally, he roared, strands of blade light erupted, like substance, piercing air, breaking partial shackles, while simultaneously preparing a trump card move "Heavenly Wind Earth Fire" to meet the assault.

Once Heavenly Wind Earth Fire was out, blade lights of various attributes mixed together, seemingly forming a violent unstable domain, covering the entire arena.

However, Peerless Sword remained unfazed, his combat strength steadily rising, the enormous sword pressure fully infused into the Treasure Sword, this strike, razor-sharp to the extreme, fast to the extreme, not only shattered Sima Xiaoyao's blade move but also sent him flying out.
