"Please!" Ye Xiao reached out one hand.

"Please!" Fang Wudi reached out a hand too.

Ye Xiao stopped talking. With a long shout, he jumped up to the sky, and then dashed down like a shooting star. He moved casually with the glittering sword in his hand and the sounding thunderclaps around the sword.

"Nice move!" Fang Wudi shouted and said, "Just good enough to have such a fine sword!"

As he turned around, the nameless sword unleashed many streams of cold lights shooting over to Ye Xiao.

When the weapons of both sides were at the same level, the cultivator's own cultivation power was the key to the result of the fight. Fang Wudi was experienced in battles, so he naturally chose to fight with his ascendancy against Ye Xiao's shortage.

"Laugh of the Monarch, Worldly Laughter Blast!" Ye Xiao knew the enemy was going to make a direct strike, but he actually stopped moving. Only the lights of his sword were still moving forward. It was amazing!

"Good!" Fang Wudi didn't move aside either. He made a quick turn and unleashed eight streams of sword lights out to block Ye Xiao's attack.

The two of them finally started to fight, and both of them knew more about the enemy…

Fang Wudi confirmed that Ye Xiao was really at level seven of the Saint Origin Stage, which was much weaker than him. As long as he could keep fighting directly, he would win the fight easily with his surpassing power!

Ye Xiao realized something as well. Since he reached the Seven Golden Lotuses, he could see through the power of every Saint Origin Stage cultivator. When he tried to figure out Fang Wudi's true power, he saw nothing but a haze, which meant the man was extremely powerful. Fang Wudi was not as powerful as the seven great ancestors, or the Purple Dragon King, or the Golden Phoenix King, but it seemed he was a little stronger than Chihuo. Ye Xiao reckoned he must be a top-class Immortality Stage cultivator!

As the fight started, the haze was gone. Ye Xiao didn't know everything about the enemy, but at least he knew how powerful the enemy actually was. He was beyond level nine of the Saint Origin Stage indeed, but still a little bit lower than the Immortality Stage.

He seemed to be better than Chihuo only because Chihuo was a dying old man, so Chihuo looked weaker. Besides, Fang Wudi wasn't powerful enough to freely disguise his true power like some really powerful top-stage cultivators!

Ye Xiao was sure now. The enemy was powerful indeed, but not unbreakable. At least he still had a chance to defeat him!

Ye Xiao came up with an idea, so he turned the sword lights over. The sword lights gathered together and became one broad stream of sword light!

"Eight into one!"

Ye Xiao's sword lights became one, and it erupted!

The sword light was moving fast. Within a second, it had already reached Fang Wudi's chest.

Fang Wudi raised his sword to block it!

The two swords crashed!

- Boom! -

Ye Xiao's sleeves were flickering, and he took three steps back.

Fang Wudi was surprised. He couldn't stand firm, so he took two steps back. He shouted and said, "You are truly good at the way of the sword! What a good move! The energy in your sword blade was smooth and sharp! I don't see much of the energy leaking! However, if this is the best you can do, you are going to fail today!"

It seemed Ye Xiao was winning in that crash…

Ye Xiao's sword moved, and everything around them seemed to move after him. It was amazing. Fang Wudi didn't have other alternatives but chose to wield his sword around to defend himself. However, Ye Xiao suddenly gathered the eight sword lights together to make one strike directly.

Fang Wudi didn't have time to withdraw his sword lights in different directions.

Therefore, it was difficult for Fang Wudi to deal with Ye Xiao's focal strike. However, Fang Wudi was still much stronger than Ye Xiao. He quickly raised his spiritual energy to resist Ye Xiao's focal attack. They had equal shares in the first crash!

In fact, Ye Xiao was still taking the initiative. Fang Wudi said that Ye Xiao was going to fail, and he wasn't lying. Ye Xiao had gathered all the energy to make that focal attack, but Fang Wudi only made a compromised move to defend. He barely used no more than half of his true power in this crash, and it brought up equal results for both sides. Ye Xiao was much weaker!

Fang Wudi was an expert cultivator. He knew why he didn't win the first crash. Ye Xiao's sword art was amazing, and that was the only reason he didn't lose it yet. As long as Fang Wudi could avoid getting affected by Ye Xiao's swordplay, Ye Xiao could never hit him. As the fight went on, Ye Xiao was eventually going to lose!

Ye Xiao took three steps back. He was shocked as well. 'Is this the true power of a top-level Saint Origin Stage cultivator? I have done such a thorough plan… My amazing sword move has weakened his power, but after the crash, I actually need to take one more step back than he does!'

'If he was in full power, I should have been severely injured by now!'

'He is truly so much more powerful than me!'

"It is the courtesy to return the attack after being attacked from the enemy!" Fang Wudi jumped up with his sword. There was actually a flow of dark qi rising up and became like a black dragon, shooting down to Ye Xiao.

After that, there were sword lights following the dark dragon like a mountain of sword lights, running over to Ye Xiao.

"Long Laughter in the Sky!" Ye Xiao moved the sword.

"Angry Laughter in the Sea!" Another move.

"Worldly Laughter Blast!" One sword move again.

"Laughter upon the World!" Again.

Four of the Monarch's Nine Moves moved as one to fight against the dark dragon from the sky. However, the true power of the cultivators was the only thing mattered, not the martial arts. Even though Ye Xiao continually made four moves, he was failing.

As the sword lights glittering, Ye Xiao was sounded, and he started to bleed.

"Stars Sword!"

Ye Xiao made a long shout. It looked like he was going to make the final move now. The Stars Sword actually shot out like an angry dragon, pierced through the sword lights behind the dark dragon, flew out over a hundred feet to get Fang Wudi!

Fang Wudi humphed and said, "A great swordsman never leaves his sword. You actually threw your sword away to deal with my attack. I assume all your tricks have been exhausted!"

He suddenly clapped both hands to stop and hold the Stars Sword.

Ye Xiao had lost his sword now. Was it the end of the fight?

However, at this moment, Ye Xiao suddenly shouted loudly, "Burst!"

The Stars Sword in Fang Wudi's hands suddenly exploded.
