Dong Wushang's gaze was dominating and sharp, while Li Xiong Tu's eyes were calm yet wild. As their gazes locked, they became intertwined, unable to separate!
The four eyes meeting each other felt like four bolts of lightning colliding fiercely in mid-air, igniting intense sparks that illuminated the sky!
Chu Yang could clearly sense a surging battle intent erupting from Dong Wushang, a ferocious tide crashing forth!
Like the raging seas.
Li Xiong Tu's clothes fluttered as he stayed firmly on his horse. However, the smooth expanse of snow between the two suddenly erupted as snowflakes rose into the air, as if swept by an invisible broom, dividing into two sides.
The snowflakes danced like a dream.
In the middle of the two, a thin path appeared, leading straight toward each other! Only towards each other!
Without any doubt, everyone realized.
In today's battle, Li Xiong Tu's opponent was none other than Dong Wushang!
And Dong Wushang's opponent was definitely Li Xiong Tu!
Anyone who attempted to intervene would likely provoke a joint assault from both of them!
These were two individuals who were absolutely similar!
Yet precisely because of that, neither would allow the other to live after this battle!
"Dong Wushang!" Li Xiong Tu shouted.
"Li Xiong Tu!" Dong Wushang replied solemnly.
Then, both of them laughed madly, simultaneously extending their hands and pointing at each other, simultaneously shouting: "I send you on your way today!"
Even their breaths sounded identical!
Then they stopped talking and stepped back. But the fervent battle intent on their faces only intensified.
On the high platform, Ye Shiyu raised her delicate brows, thoughtfully observing Dong Wushang and Li Xiong Tu, murmuring, "I never expected such talent to emerge in Central Capital!"
"How did Li Xiong Tu's strength improve so much all of a sudden?" Chu Yang stared at Li Xiong Tu, puzzled. "When I saw him last year, he was at most King Level Fourth Rank. Now, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Dong Wushang, at least at Imperial Level Second Tier! What is going on?"
Gu Duxing and Mo Tianji nearby were equally baffled!
How could Li Xiong Tu's progress be so rapid?
"Could he have encountered some fortuitous opportunity?" Mo Tianji frowned.
This seemed the most likely explanation; only by suddenly consuming some spiritual pill or rare and precious treasure could such terrifying effects be achieved.
After all, it was impossible for there to be a second Nine Calamity Sword Master in this world!
"I'm afraid he must have had a fortuitous encounter." Chu Yang's voice suddenly rose. It seemed he thought of something and exclaimed in shock: "Could it be that he met the Nine Calamity Sword Master?!"
Mo Tianji was taken aback, stammering: "That’s impossible, right?"
One must admit that the cooperation between Chu Yang and Mo Tianji was seamless.
It is well-known that facing a schemer is frightening; facing one schemer is a thousand times more terrifying than facing two schemers working together!
Many of Chu Yang's brothers had also improved in this way. They were initially the biggest suspects, but once he made that statement, it was as if he distanced himself and his brothers from suspicion.
And Mo Tianji followed up with the shocked "That's impossible," which almost completely dispelled any doubts about them.
Though their brief dialogue was kept low, it felt as though their shocked tones had inadvertently grown louder, and many around them heard it.
Immediately, everyone felt pricked by thorns in their backs.
On the high platform, Ye Shiyu straightened herself, her demeanor suddenly serious. Her sharp gaze shot over, passing over the two before landing on Li Xiong Tu, her originally charming eyes now seemed heavy with thought.
On the other side, Ye Mengse trembled slightly, her gaze shifting towards Li Xiong Tu, her eyes deep as the sea.
Both of them harbored the same thought: In just one year, from King Level Fourth Rank to at least Imperial Level Second Tier... Such a miracle, if it wasn't due to rare and precious treasures, it must be because of the Nine Calamity Sword Master!
