CHAPTER 560: CHAPTER 560: ONE SWORD, TWO HALVES

Facing Gu Xiaojie, Yang Xiao had no confidence whatsoever, but he still wanted to see how big the gap between him and Gu Xiaojie was.

Yang Xiao dared not to be careless, from the onset, he maximized the effectiveness of his Sword Qi—a five-meter Sword Qi on top of a one-meter Longsword, giving him a safety distance of around six meters.

Gu Xiaojie snorted coldly, his left hand holding the Black Shield met Yang Xiao’s Sword Qi, and a one-meter-wide Black Light Screen enveloped the front of his body.

"Chi" went the sound,

Yang Xiao’s Sword Qi struck the Black Light Screen, which trembled slightly but remained undamaged.

"Yang Xiao, try to take one of my swords!"

Gu Xiaojie finished speaking, and the Triangular Heavy Sword in his right hand cleaved through the air toward Yang Xiao.

A powerful storm immediately swept towards Yang Xiao,

Yang Xiao was shocked, what powerful killing aura!

Instantaneously, he threw a Defensive Light Shield in front of him, lightly tapped the tree branch with his toe, using the Shaolin Great Shifting Body Technique, his body flashed back several meters in an instant; then he immediately performed the Divine Mountain Light Skill, flipping backwards dozens of meters away.

"With just this little trick, you dare to challenge me?"

Gu Xiaojie’s figure flashed, as though traversing space itself, he instantly appeared a few meters in front of Yang Xiao, raising the Longsword in his hand, and slashing towards Yang Xiao like lightning.

Yang Xiao once again experienced the power of the opponent’s Instantaneous Movement.

He had once witnessed the power of the Iron Tower Warriors’ Instantaneous Movement in the desert. Despite being fully prepared in his heart, he was still startled.

Gu Xiaojie’s sword came slashing over, and the formidable storm of Killing Aura once again swept through, this time closer to Yang Xiao.

"Yang Xiao!"

Lan Xin cried out in alarm.

Long Xiang tightened the whip in her hand, the thirty-meter-long whip stood erect, ready to pounce and attack Gu Xiaojie.

Yang Xiao let out a thunderous shout, his Divine Sense surged,

Boom, a loud blast,

Sweeping Void!

A hundred-meter-long Monster tail appeared directly in front of Yang Xiao, sweeping against the storm of killing aura unleashed by Gu Xiaojie.

Gu Xiaojie sneered disdainfully,

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

With a snap, a series of crisp sounds, the Monster tail that Yang Xiao struck out was instantly shattered into pieces by the storm of killing aura.

Taking the opportunity, Yang Xiao burst backwards, and once again used a Soul Skill against Gu Xiaojie,

Black Hole Swallowing!

Boom, there was a loud sound, and the huge head of a Monster appeared from mid-air, forming a giant vortex behind Gu Xiaojie.

Gu Xiaojie swayed his body, moving 2 meters towards the vicinity of the vortex in surprise, hurriedly swung back with his sword, slashing at the Monster’s huge head that was drifting away into the sky.

A cold gleam flashed,

Crack!

The Monster’s huge head was split in two.

The vortex behind Gu Xiaojie immediately disappeared.

Right after, Yang Xiao used another Soul Skill against Gu Xiaojie,

Boom!

Five gigantic fingers directly enveloped Gu Xiaojie.

Yang Xiao’s claws clenched, and the five fingers rapidly tightened.

Gu Xiaojie threw his Black Shield directly above his head, instantly forming a black spherical light screen that enveloped his body.

Crack!

The giant claw clenched, and all five gigantic fingers broke apart.

Gu Xiaojie dissipated the Black Light Screen, holding the Black Shield in his left hand and the Triangular Heavy Sword in his right, he laughed wildly:

"Yang Xiao, show me whatever skills you’ve got, let’s see how powerful you really are, and let you see for yourself what you’re worth, haha...

Don’t you still have a Burst Soul Skill that you haven’t used yet? The last time, you used your Burst Soul Skill to shatter my Defensive Light Shield, this time I’ll give you a chance, try again, come on!"

Gu Xiaojie’s prowess still exceeded Yang Xiao’s expectations, shocking him greatly.

He originally thought that unleashing his major Soul Skills would at least shake Gu Xiaojie, but he never expected that they would not harm Gu Xiaojie in the slightest.

Yang Xiao was now like a trapped beast at its wit’s end, left with only one Burst Soul Skill.

Lan Xin was extremely nervous from a distance. She knew Yang Xiao better, and seeing him having used up his Soul Skills, with no more ace up his sleeve to deal with Gu Xiaojie, she immediately said to Long Xiang:

"Xiang Mei, hurry and save your brother."

Long Xiang chuckled and said:

"Don’t worry, my brother-in-law is much stronger than you think."

Lan Xin gave Long Xiang a glare,

"You silly girl, you still have the mood to joke at this time!"

Long Xiang laughed playfully:

"Lan Xin, don’t worry, if he’s truly in danger, I’ll rescue him. Do you think Yang Xiao is a fool?"

Lan Xin was taken aback and fell silent, her eyes firmly fixed on Yang Xiao, with her hand clutching the longsword, ready to rush out at the critical moment.

Yang Xiao said to Jiang Xiaojie with a smile:

"Alright then, I’ll bet my life against yours."

Having said that, Yang Xiao trembled slightly and instantly activated his Burst Skill. A golden light enveloped his body as he held the longsword and dashed towards Gu Xiaojie like lightning.

Gu Xiaojie sneered, throwing the black shield above his head again, and in an instant a black light screen formed to envelop his entire body.

Gu Xiaojie, having suffered a loss previously, dared not underestimate his opponent this time. He used all his strength, raising his defense to its highest level, also fearing that Yang Xiao might pull out another trump card at the last moment.

Yang Xiao’s body, with a faint golden light, charged instantly to Gu Xiaojie’s front, the golden light in his hand flashing as the Bronze Divine Sword cleaved viciously towards Gu Xiaojie with a ferocious killing aura.

Yang Xiao also didn’t dare to be careless; he had no idea if the Bronze Divine Sword could defeat Gu Xiaojie. As he swung the sword, he also executed the Golden Bee Sword Skill.

With one slash, ten sword shadows appeared.

The ten sword shadows nearly merged into one, ruthlessly striking down towards the top of Gu Xiaojie’s head.

Where the sword shadow passed, the void shattered!

Gu Xiaojie suddenly felt a strong killing aura, which made his heart palpitate and an inexplicable fear arose, a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Xiaojie felt something was wrong!

He wanted to use Divine Skills to instantly move and dodge.

However, it was too late!

Shh!

The Bronze Divine Sword, with a slight sound, cleaved down like lightning.

Long Xiang and Lan Xin widened their eyes,

The two of them saw Yang Xiao seemingly split space in half; the void opened instantly.

"Ah!"

With a scream, the black light screen was instantly cleaved in two and disappeared. At the same time, blood splattered.

Yang Xiao cut Gu Xiaojie into two halves with a single sword strike.

Gu Xiaojie’s body split instantly, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at the Bronze Divine Sword in Yang Xiao’s hand, wanting to say something, but at this moment, he no longer had the ability to speak.

In the blink of an eye, the body fell from the top of the big tree.

With a thud,

Gu Xiaojie’s corpse hit the ground.

Yang Xiao sheathed the Bronze Divine Sword and followed it down, flying down.

Lan Xin also followed closely behind, flying down.

Long Xiang was stunned for a moment; when Yang Xiao killed Gu Xiaojie with one sword strike just now, the killing aura was piercing. She clearly felt a tightening in her heart, wondering if she could have withstood it if Yang Xiao’s sword had been aimed at her.

Previously when Yang Xiao used the Bronze Divine Sword, he did not have the Burst Soul Skill. Now, with the use of the Burst Soul Skill, which instantly doubles the attack damage, plus the Golden Bee Sword Skill and a series of auxiliary damages, how much more had his power increased?

Long Xiang followed, floating down.

The three stood in front of Gu Xiaojie’s corpse.

Yang Xiao picked up the triangular heavy sword from the ground, feeling it—a sword without any attribute added, but somewhat similar to the Bronze Divine Sword, very heavy with killing intent, but of course, much less than that of the Bronze Divine Sword.

And that black shield, Yang Xiao felt it, no defense attribute added, but with a special feature:

Increase defense by 50%.

"This is truly a damn Divine Artifact!"

Yang Xiao flipped over the shield to check the back, on which a few lines of text were engraved, but he seemed unable to understand them.

Gu Xiaojie also had a set of armor, but it had been split apart by Yang Xiao’s sword, destroyed.

As for Gu Xiaojie’s Space Ring, Yang Xiao could not open it.

After a brief consideration, Yang Xiao dared not keep these items on him, too dangerous. He found a prominent ancient tree and dug a hole in the ground, burying the triangular heavy sword, black shield, and Space Ring.

"Lan Xin, you can use this heavy sword and black shield when it’s necessary, but right now you absolutely can’t use them, we can’t expose our identities."

"We’ve now killed Gu Bo’s assistant, this is going to blow up, what do we do next?"

Lan Xin said with some worry.

Long Xiao curled his lips and said:

"With my temper, what’s there to fear, just go and kill that old Gu Bo as well."

Yang Xiao gave Long Xiang a look and said:

"If you’re so capable, just go to Wentian City and challenge Long Wei, and wait for him to flay and dissect you, or lock you up."

Long Xiang glanced sideways and did not dare to retort.

Yang Xiao sighed and said:

"Let’s quickly leave this place."

"Where do we go?"

"Let’s go to Wuji Mountain to lay low for a while."
