Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 640 - 638: Genius: Accomplishing the Impossible

Chapter 640: Chapter 638: Genius: Accomplishing the Impossible

BOOM!

Stomping one foot, Yi Wuxue shattered the ground and his figure halted. His sleeves were torn in several places, making him look somewhat disheveled.

"Damn it!" Yi Wuxue stared fixedly at Ye Siyi. Her Qinggong was as fast as a phantom; if he hadn’t reacted quickly, he might have already been defeated.

I don’t believe you can be faster than my sword!

Yi Wuxue scoffed inwardly. The Longsword in his hand erupted with a seemingly tangible blood-red light as he slashed it through the air.

SWISH!

As the Longsword cut down, the air automatically parted.

Countless crimson Sword Qi materialized before Yi Wuxue. These Sword Qi dazzled under the sunlight, their fierce sharpness assailing one’s senses, as if they were real treasures rather than mere illusions.

"Split!"

The disdain in Yi Wuxue’s eyes turned to caution. His entire body blazed with blood-red light, radiating brilliance as his left hand formed a seal and he raised it upward.

HUMMM!

A strange fluctuation rippled through the air. The crimson Sword Qi before Yi Wuxue continuously split—one became two, two became four. In an instant, half the sky was filled with crimson Sword Qi, forming a sword screen tens of meters high.

These Sword Qi trembled slightly in the air. The tips of their blades flickered with a cold glint, exuding a chilling aura.

"This is the Splitting Light Sword Screen, an extremely powerful move from the Splitting Light Flowing Shadow Sword. At most, it can differentiate into a thousand Sword Shadows," He Qin said to Luo Feng, her expression grave as she gazed at the blood-colored Sword Qi filling half the sky.

Luo Feng nodded slightly. Although the Sword Qi Yi Wuxue unleashed didn’t number a thousand, there were still several hundred, clearly demonstrating an extremely high level of mastery.

"He probably intends to use this move to seal Ye Siyi’s Qinggong," He Qin stated.

Luo Feng smiled faintly. "A good idea. Unfortunately, one can never hold water in one’s hand."

He Qin blinked, her beautiful eyes focusing on Luo Feng, unsure why he held Ye Siyi in such high regard.

Of course, she also disliked the arrogant Yi Wuxue and secretly hoped Ye Siyi would win.

While they conversed, the situation on the dueling platform had already become turbulent.

Having unleashed the Splitting Light Sword Screen, Yi Wuxue’s aura surged. His sharp gaze fixed on Ye Siyi, he sneered, "Splitting Light Sword Screen, yield to me!"

With a flick of his Longsword, the blood-red light from the sword screen filled the sky. It then abruptly shot towards Ye Siyi like a meteor shower, emitting terrifying explosive sounds.

The Splitting Light Sword Screen... a pity he couldn’t manifest a thousand Sword Shadows...

Ye Siyi’s beautiful eyes reflected the sword light, her exquisite face betraying no emotion. She stepped forward, her figure seeming to move slowly yet actually vanishing swiftly from her original spot.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

Streaks of crimson Sword Qi rained down, blasting countless craters into the dueling platform.

Ye Siyi’s speed was too great; only faint afterimages could be seen flickering amidst the Sword Qi.

In an instant, half of the hundred-meter-long and hundred-meter-wide dueling platform had been demolished.

Observing the utterly ravaged dueling platform, the nearby students were all dumbfounded.

"Too powerful! Is this still a duel between academy students?"

"I’m also a Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist, but my strength isn’t on the same level as theirs at all. How can there be such a vast difference in power with just a single realm separating us?"

"Don’t be discouraged. True geniuses can always break conventions and achieve what is impossible for ordinary people. Otherwise, why would they be called geniuses?"

"That’s right. Both of them have already reached the standard of Golden Palace Inner Sect Disciples. Given time, they might become one of the Ten New Dragons, making a name for themselves throughout the Canglan Dynasty, or even beyond it!"

"From the current situation, Ye Siyi seems to hold the upper hand. I wonder if Yi Wuxue has any other hidden techniques."

Yi Wuxue didn’t hear the crowd’s astonished discussions. Even if he had, he wouldn’t have had the leisure to pay them any mind.

Ye Siyi’s Qinggong was even more formidable than he had imagined. She was able to face the Splitting Light Sword Screen with such ease!

I refuse to believe I can’t stop you!

Gritting his teeth secretly, Yi Wuxue’s eyes turned cold, his entire body seething with blood-red light.

In an instant, the speed at which the Splitting Light Sword Screen descended increased severalfold. The Sword Qi tore through the air, accompanied by continuous, ear-piercing HISSES, utterly destroying the dueling platform and even blasting a large pit in the ground.

However, Ye Siyi’s pace didn’t falter in the slightest. She moved like a thread through a needle’s eye, weaving through the dense rain of crimson Sword Qi, closing in until she was about five steps from Yi Wuxue.

Witnessing this scene, even He Qin’s cool eyes couldn’t help but show a ripple of emotion.

The Splitting Light Sword Screen was incredibly fast, and the gaps between the Sword Qi were minuscule. If she were facing such an attack, advancing would be impossible. She could only choose to meet it head-on or evade it. To break through from the front, as Ye Siyi was doing, would increase the difficulty at least severalfold.

Shifting her gaze, He Qin saw Luo Feng’s calm expression and thought to herself, Could he have predicted this outcome?

"Ye Siyi cultivates the Phantom Footsteps. In terms of Qinggong, she is undoubtedly number one among all the major academies. This woman’s talent for Martial Arts is truly astonishing."

Nearby, Zi Hongyuan watched Ye Siyi with a shocked expression, unable to help his remark.

Phantom Footsteps was a Profound Level, high-grade Martial Art. Its intent realm was quite profound and exceedingly difficult to cultivate. In recent years, many students from Xiushui School had attempted this Martial Art, but only a few had achieved Small Success.

Judging by Ye Siyi’s speed, her Phantom Footsteps had likely surpassed the Small Success stage.

Zhou Zhiyun countered with a smile, "Speaking of talent in Martial Arts, who in all the major academies could possibly surpass Luo Feng? He managed to successfully cultivate the Teng Dragon’s Step, a feat no one else had accomplished. Furthermore, he cultivated the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist to the Perfection Realm. Such an accomplishment is rare in the history of all major academies."

A pleased look appeared in Zi Hongyuan’s eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Luo Feng’s excellence made him extremely proud. Having such a student was a blessing for him as the principal.

I wonder what the outcome would be if Luo Feng were to face these two...

His gaze swept towards the platform, a thought flashing through Zi Hongyuan’s mind.

"Autumn Wind Soughs, Leaves Adrift!"

As Ye Siyi’s figure closed to within five steps of Yi Wuxue, she tapped her toes on the void. Her form flitted through the Sword Qi, her dress and black hair fluttering, creating a dreamlike illusion. Like a leaf carried by the wind, she instantly appeared at Yi Wuxue’s side, thrusting out a thick beam of Sword Qi in mid-air.

"Break!" Yi Wuxue’s face darkened as he swung out a beam of Sword Qi, slashing towards Ye Siyi.

HISS!

The Sword Qi passed through Ye Siyi’s waist—it was only an afterimage. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The sound of rushing air echoed. Yi Wuxue felt an intense chill assault him from behind; Ye Siyi had appeared there at some unknown moment.

Yi Wuxue’s scalp tingled. The Yuan Qi throughout his body finally erupted without reservation. A dazzling, blood-red light soared into the sky, blindingly brilliant.

WHOOSH!

Spinning on the spot, Yi Wuxue transformed into a blood-red hurricane. He punched backward, heavily striking Ye Siyi’s sword tip.

BOOM!

The fierce fist energy erupted, and both figures were sent flying backward.

Ye Siyi, like a fluttering butterfly, while still in mid-air, swung out another beam of Sword Qi.

Yi Wuxue had no room to retreat and could only meet it with a punch.

BOOM!

A loud explosion rocked the air. Yi Wuxue staggered backward, his entire left arm completely numb.

His eyes flickering with a cold light, Yi Wuxue glared at Ye Siyi, his teeth grinding with such hatred that they audibly clicked.

Her speed was too great. The feeling of seeing her but being unable to touch her was maddening.

"Let’s see how you dodge this sword! Skimming Light and Shadow! Chaotic Sword Flying Flowers!"

Stomping on the air to stabilize himself, Yi Wuxue fixed his eyes on Ye Siyi. A blood-red light shone from the Longsword in his hand as rampant, blood-colored Sword Qi filled the air with its sharpness.

HISS! HISS! HISS! HISS! HISS! HISS...

Streaks of blood-colored Sword Qi shot towards Ye Siyi like fleeting shadows. Midway, these sword lights suddenly split into six, blooming like flowers. Their trajectories were erratic and unpredictable, as if possessing Spirituality, all converging on Ye Siyi.

"Chaotic Sword Flying Flowers! This is Yi Wuxue’s famed killing move! He’s finally going all out."

"He has no choice. Ye Siyi’s Qinggong is too fast; ordinary sword moves can’t even threaten her."

"That’s right. For the earlier Splitting Light Sword Screen, it would have been remarkable if anyone else could have blocked it. Ye Siyi actually broke through it head-on; her Qinggong can only be described as terrifying."

"The outcome will be decided by this move. I wonder if Ye Siyi can block this sword."

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH...

Dozens of Sword Qi bloomed continuously. Within a single breath, hundreds of blood-colored Sword Qi densely enveloped the entire dueling platform.

BOOM!

The remaining half of the dueling platform was instantly reduced to ruins amidst the Sword Qi storm.

Suddenly, just as Ye Siyi was about to be overwhelmed by the Sword Qi, her figure vanished. Five indistinguishable Ye Siyis appeared in mid-air.

"Five of them! Is this the Splitting Technique?"

"It doesn’t look like it."

"It’s too exaggerated! Even ten of me wouldn’t be a match for either of them. I’d probably be pulverized by a single move, with no power to resist."

"One move? I don’t think I could even block half a move..."

Looking at the five Ye Siyis in mid-air, the young talents in the square were all dumbstruck, their mouths agape for a long time.

They couldn’t fathom how a mere second-level Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist could display such formidable strength! Challenging those of higher cultivation levels would likely not be an issue for them.

Luo Feng looked at the sky, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

The Splitting Technique involved using rapid movement to create Yuan Qi afterimages. This gave the illusion of multiple individuals attacking simultaneously. However, only one person was actually launching the attacks.

But at this moment, all five of Ye Siyi’s figures pulsed with strong Yuan Qi fluctuations! This meant all five figures could unleash formidable power, a technique more than ten times profounder than the Splitting Technique.

"Vanish Like Flying Leaves!"

The five Ye Siyis remained expressionless. A powerful, sharp aura rose from their bodies as the Longswords in their hands emitted a dazzling cyan light, piercing down towards Yi Wuxue from the air.

HISS! HISS! HISS! HISS! HISS!

Five dazzling sword lights, like falling thunderbolts, instantly shattered the sky full of blood-colored Sword Qi. The diminished cyan sword lights, their speed unreduced, then descended abruptly.

His face flushed red, Yi Wuxue swung his sword, unleashing five blood-colored sword lights to meet them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

After five deafening booms, Yi Wuxue’s body was forced back repeatedly in mid-air. A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, yet he remained standing, his eyes blazing with fury, "I will not lose!"

SWISH!

A gentle breeze stirred. Ye Siyi’s figure flashed, and eight silent silhouettes appeared, surrounding Yi Wuxue.
