Di Hua's face turned black. Although the [Liu Yue Sword Art] was not the most advanced sword technique in the A Gate, but it was genuine amongst the three levels. Di Hua never would have thought that Zhou Tong would be able to use one of the moves after obtaining the [Liu Yue Sword Art] for only half a day.

With the successful attack, Zhou Tong immediately moved and charged towards Di Hua.

”So what if you know [Liu Yue Sword Art]? ”Go to hell!”

Di Hua clenched his teeth, he suddenly raised both of his hands, and the seven flying shuttles immediately flew towards Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong stopped in his tracks, turned his body at an angle that was beyond the understanding of an ordinary person, and turned his body to dodge the flying shuttle's attack. Without waiting for the flying shuttle to turn around, Zhou Tong swung his sword and released a ray of 'Sharp Claws' Sword Qi, hitting the flying shuttles that did not even have time to turn around.

With another charge, the distance between the two was reduced to twenty meters in the blink of an eye.

Di Hua was shocked, the reaction and technique that he displayed had completely surpassed Di Hua's understanding of cultivation. In a panic, Di Hua's hands quickly formed Seal, ready to use his strongest technique to determine victory or defeat.

The distance between the two was only ten meters, but Di Hua's last handprint was formed. The seven flying shuttles were completely covered in a layer of purplish blue lightning, which was Di Hua's strongest killing move — — Lightning Bee Devour. Di Hua had once relied on this move to kill a ferocious beast during his experiential learning mission.

The ear-piercing sound of lightning buzzing was extremely loud. The seven shuttles pulled out a dense electric net around each other, forming a circle that sealed all of Zhou Tong's movements in an instant. Di Hua smiled, once he used this move, he had to win.

However, just as everyone thought that Zhou Tong would lose, in the next second, an astonishing reversal happened on the stage.

”Clang!” A clear sound rang out and in an instant, that dense electric net was torn into pieces. The electrical light scattered and landed on the ground, turning it into a pile of charred black ashes. Di Hua's seven shuttles seemed to have lost control as they all fell to the ground.

Before anyone could see what happened, Zhou Tong had already disappeared.

Without waiting for the audience to be shocked, Di Hua suddenly kneeled down with a ”plop” sound.

Everyone turned to look at Di Hua. In front of Di Hua, the Meteorite Sword in his hand was pointing at Di Hua's throat, looking down at him from above. On top of Di Hua's knees, there was a frightening sword wound that could even be seen through bones.

There was never a clear definition of the category of 'Speed' in martial arts. It usually only referred to the movement techniques of martial arts cultivators. There were some who completely gave up on speed, for example Xue Yang, who gave up on speed to fight by relying purely on strength. There were also some who reached the pinnacle of speed, whose speed was comparable to the movement law enforcement of qi-repair.

And Zhou Tong, was the latter.

After traversing the Void Realm for so long, Zhou Tong had fought with countless people. It was because of this that Zhou Tong was extremely clear on how important 'speed' was in battling with the qi-repair. And everyone who had fought with Zhou Tong before would firmly remember the [Exquisite Dust Shadow] movement skill.

Movement techniques determined a martial cultivator's movement speed, and the combination of movement techniques and martial techniques determined a martial cultivator's attack speed. Just now, when Di Hua unleashed his move, he did a total of nine times: once he destroyed the electric net, seven times he shot down the flying shuttle, and once he slashed at Di Hua.

Nine attacks, spanning ten meters, everything happened in the blink of an eye, only two seconds left and right.

This was the ultimate 'speed'.

”Senior Brother, listen carefully to what I want to tell you,” Zhou Tong said as he tilted his head to look at Xue Yang, and the corner of his mouth lifted. When he looked at Di Hua again, his face was already filled with a cold arrogance.

”As an Emperor, how could I allow such a rat to commit such a crime?”

”To be the Emperor!”

”How can I allow such a scoundrel to commit such a crime?”

Xue Yang repeated this sentence somewhat lifelessly, his heart throbbing with emotion and bitterness.

The Cloud Dynasty had been strong and powerful for thousands of years. They had countless of wise and wise kings, and all of them were recorded in history.

However, Xue Yang was not a highly regarded cultivator.

It was because he was a martial cultivator that he was not favored by the emperor. It was because he was a martial cultivator that the brothers of his clan could cultivate the techniques passed down in the empire while he could only leave the imperial hall to join the sect.

It was because he was an unpopular martial cultivator.

How many years had it been since Xue Yang had strived hard to be a peaceful and calm person? To stay away from the disputes in the imperial court was to become an ordinary martial cultivator. One's life was sufficient.
