Chapter 300 - Thousand Returning Blades, Sky Rejecting Slash (2/2)

Sky Splitter! Brook’s swordplay was the origin of his nickname.

Sky Splitter! Brooks believed that as long as the strength of his true energy strength was enough, sooner or later, this slash would really be able to split the skies!

The battle just began and the strongest finishing move was used! This battle was not a joke. Two martial artists with similar strengths would not tolerate any melodramatic events such as the use of thirty percent force first, and then fifty percent. If they realize that they can’t win then increased to seventy percent, ninety percent, then a hundred percent.

Those who conserved their strength were either lying in the hospital or stayed in the grave forever.

There was only one chance to win and countless chances to fail. No one would use stupid strategies such as thirty percent strength and let the opponent win in a swoop.

Unless your strength overpowered the other party by a lot, then it would be a different story.

Interesting! The corners of Xue Tian’s lips suddenly lifted upwards. Brooks reached the peak mental state, and he instinctively felt a chill as if he was thrown to the South Pole with no clothes!

Cold! The icy cold chill instantly broke the empty realm that Brooks never had! Bai Sheng’s eyes flashed with a trace of pity, if he can maintain even a very small moment of this state, Brooks may complete the advancement into being an eight-star martial artist.

In the face of Brooks’s arrogant sky splitter slash, Xue Tian did not dodge. A black katana scabbard suddenly sparked, followed by a black light and rotating cracks, like a Black Dragon emerged from the water and brought black water with it, and struck Brooks’s sky splitter slash.

Qiang!

A high decibel of piercing metal collision pierced through the air and was amplified by the loudspeaker through the microphone transmission which caused tinnitus in the ears of the audience. The blood in their chest seemed to be vibrated by the resonance sound made by the clashing weapons filled with killing intent.

Brooks’s wrist felt a numbing sore from the vibration. Xue Tian struck at the position where the Sky Splitter Slash was most vulnerable!

Any swordplay always had a vulnerable opening! This is a fact known by any swordsman. However, those with good swordsmanship would have hidden this opening! Even if anyone had discovered the opening, it would be still hard to strike the opening.

The better the swordplay, the smaller the opening would be!

Brooks was confident that the opening of the Sky Splitter Slash was not only hidden but also very small. In order to prevent being discovered, a great adjustment in speed was made to the Sky Splitter Slash. He was confident that even if others were to find out about the opening, they could only detect it and not really be able to strike it.

With regards to this, Brooks’ master, an American swordplay grandmaster Mike Li Zezhen said that was would be close to impossible for a seven-star martial artist to strike this opening. Even for eight-star martial artists to strike the opening would be very tough.

However, today at this moment, Brooks was surprised to find that Xue Tian, who was in front of him and had the strength of seven-star, had struck the opening perfectly.

With his arms still reeling with numbness, Brook immediately retreated. For his Sky Splitter Slash to hide its vulnerable opening and to be not struck by the opponent after the discovery of the opening, he naturally had to sacrifice something.

Mike Li Zezhen once said that if the Sky Splitter Slash was broken by the outside force, then the user of the Sky Splitter Slash would be in danger!

“This is my Thousand Swords Break Mountains and River!”

Xue Tian followed Brooks like a shadow, and at the same time, he released a deep roar. The katana in his hand broke out in a storm of light and shadow entering a state prepared for battle.

The retreated Brooks’ eyes flashed a hint of excitement, there is indeed a flaw after the Sky Splitter Slash was struck at its vulnerable point! But as a martial artist, if you don’t make up for the shortcomings of your finishing move, what kind of martial artists would you be? This move was originally intended as a surprise in the event Qin Fen broke through the Sky Splitter Slash. He did not expect…

The rapidly retreating ankles suddenly twisted in different directions. Like a tilting doll, Brooks’ body moved in a high-speed movement that seemed to split his body into several Brooks. Every afterimage seemed to be so real. The Damascus knife in his hand was drawn and with a blade that seemed like it was electrocuted and rapidly vibrating, he passed through Thousand Swords Break Mountains and River and dashed towards Xue Tian’s eyes.

Yang Lie suddenly grabbed both the handle on his seat and the plastic handle was instantly deformed and crushed. This is it! It was rumored that Brooks once mentioned before, but never used the second stage of the Sky Splitter swordplay, the Sky Piercing Slash! He actually completed it!

The Sky Piercing slash was very different from the first stage Sky Splitter Slash. This stage was like a slippery mudfish with many interchangeable odd angles and able to slip in any gaps on sight.

Xue Tian’s eyes were not shocked but instead pleased, the hundreds of blades image from the Thousand Swords Break Mountains and River swordplay, like being attracted by a huge magnet, all the blade’s light shrunk back into the katana.

The ever-changing blades transformed into a black beam, like a meteor falling to the ground, completely covering the mudfish in the mud. The wet swamp was instantly turned into dry land with the high-temperature evaporation. The Sky Piercing slash that was like a mudfish was completely exposed!

With no strange and changing angle, losing the pervasive gap, the mudfish was no longer lethal.

Brooks had his heart tightened and wanted to dodge but could not do so at all. He wanted to draw his blade but he was too late and once again the Damascus in his hand was struck at the vulnerable opening.

The tyrannical impact force was equal to a high-voltage current that drilled into his arm, directly impacted his five fingers! The foot retreated quickly, but he saw a black light falling from the top of his head.

It’s too late…

Brooks closed his eyes. The biting cold aura from the katana emitted a chilling pain on his forehead. When he opened his eyes, he saw with a twist of Xue Tian’s wrist, the katana returned to the scabbard.

The thunderstorm has turned into a clear sky again in a blink of an eye.

Brooks stared at Xue Tian, who turned away and wanted to leave. He asked, “You knew that I was baiting the enemy?”

Xue Tian stood still and looked at him strangely, “Of course. Such a forced performance, anyone could see through it.”

When Brooks heard this, it was more painful than being beaten with a heavy hammer on the chest. His finishing skill had already been seen through.

“That…” Brooks asked unwillingly, “What was the name of your swordplay? Is it your ultimate finishing skill?”

“That? It’s nothing, I named it Thousand Returning Blades, Sky Rejecting Slash.” Xue Tian placed katana on his shoulder, “The ultimate finishing skill? Are you kidding?”

“Furious Beheader… It’s so strong…”

Brooks looked at the back of Xue Tian while he walked away, and his monologue transmitted through the microphone into everyone’s ears.

Yang Lie’s face is full of bitter smiles. Furious Beheader? Which part of Xue Tian is furious? How could Xue Tian who is full of smiles called the Furious Beheader? The Xue Tian now is not furious at all, he is just katana user Xue Tian, not Furious Beheader Xue Tian!

Brooks lost? Bai Sheng was more surprised than anyone else. What is happening to this current generation of young people? Yesterday everyone saw the monster like Qin Fen, and today everyone saw the genius Xue Tian!

That’s right! Genius! Bai Sheng stared at Xue Tian with a strong blink of an eye. This young man was different from Qin Fen! When it comes to martial art talents, he was far better than Qin Fen. Of course, talent was not everything. Martial art senses are also very important for the understanding of martial arts.

But… Bai Sheng slowly closed his eyes. This young man Xue Tian’s talent could perhaps be placed first in the entire federation! Even Sacred Martial Hall had never seen such a talented person! Even the martial artists who held the title of the beast also had never seen this before!

The huge stadium was immersed in unprecedented silence, and even the commentators forgot to provide commentary. People couldn’t believe that Sky Splitter Brooks, who was against the same seven-star Xue Tian actually lost and had lost so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the battle is over. Even the eight-star Qin Fen, would not be able to defeat Brooks with a timespan of a yawn.

This can no longer be described as a bitter defeat, but a complete defeat!

Bai Sheng opened his eyes again and looked at the back of Xue Tian. His tone was full of affirmation, “He… still has plenty of strength left…”

“Recruit Xue Tian from East Asian military region wins…”

The referees finally remembered their duties and quickly announced the victory and defeat of both sides.

Brooks didn’t notice that his forehead skin was sliced by the aura from the blade, and bright red blood ran down his forehead, while he just stood at the same place as he looked at Xue Tian.

“Hehe…” Brooks’s mouth showed a bitter smile. “I always thought that it would be us that will challenge Qin Fen. It turns out… hehe… people who were qualified to fight with Qin Fen have always existed. Xue Tian… Furious Beheader, Xue Tian…”

“Xue Tian, Furious Beheader, Xue Tian…” Caesar’s eyes locked on Xue Tian. It was expected that the last person to compete in the finals would be Sky Splitter Brooks. It was unexpected for a dark horse to appear, no! It should be a black dragon!

“Xue Tian…” Yang Lie slowly released the crushed plastic handle in his palms, “This time, I must personally duel with you! And experience your Furious Beheader!”

Xue Tian was as lazy as before, and sat on the seat beside Qin Fen with his buttocks, his hands slapped on his arms, shoulders, and thighs non-stop, “Exhausting, exhausting.”

Qin Fen had his eyes closed and his mind was full of replay from the battle. He didn’t want to watch the slow-motion playback on the big screen as those playbacks could only be viewed from the side. Only when you close your eyes and immerse yourself in your own world could you experience the most authentic feeling.

“Sigh,” Xue Tian looked at Qin Fen’s serious expression, once again showed a weak smile and shook his head repeatedly, “You are really a martial art enthusiast. If I were to study like you, I would have gone crazy already.”

Other young masters closed their eyes one by one. The shock was just too big. Although this kind of closed eyes immersion into their own world simulation was not a hundred percent accurate, at least it could be felt.

In just a few seconds, a few young masters had cold sweat breaking on their foreheads. When they open their eyes and look at Xue Tian again, it was like they were looking at a monster.

Qin Fen slowly opened his eyes. He did not look at Xue Tian. There was no sadness or joy on his face. No one knew if he won against Xue Tian in his own world, or like the others, had acknowledged how terrifying Xue Tian could be.
