Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 110: Tie

"Third Stance- Slaughtering Heaven"

Zhao Tan took a step back and held the middle of the shaft with his left hand and the end with his right hand. He pressed his foot on the ground, the red qi gathered at the tip of the spear, and red lightning sparks around the tip.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He stomp on the ground and dashed towards the slash. It was a golden slash with an intensely sharp edge. As it moved, the air in front of it was split apart. Zhao Tan reached in front of the slash and halted.

He no longer held the spear with his left hand and pushed his right hand as back as he could. The tip of the spear raised up and the next second, he pulled his right hand. The spear slashed diagonally against the vertical golden slash.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Gah!"

The impact of the collision raised the waves of impact. The impact was so powerful that it smashed the barrier into pieces. The elders holding the barriers smashed on the walls of the arena. Dozens of the disciples passed out by the impact while many of the remaining were smashed to the ground.

The impact sent Guan Xing flying. He collided against the wall around the ground and coughed out blood. As for Zhao Tan, he didn't move because if he moves, the golden slash will kill him. But, the impact broke his bones and made him cough out blood continuously.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Zhao Tan screamed and caught the end of the spear with his left hand. He raised his left hand stomped a little ahead. Then, he swings the spear with all of his strength and cuts the golden slash in half.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

As he succeed in cutting the golden slashing, his body reacted to all that force he used and smashed him to the ground a few times. After rolling and colliding with the walls, he stopped.

But, his body was too much beaten to stand up. On another hand, Guan Xing was already walking towards him.

'Someone told me with Great Power comes Great Responsibility. But, I never thought why would he tell such a thing to an eighteen-year-old boy. But now, I know.'

Guan Xing gripped the pen in his hand and muttered 'This is my responsibility. I told him that I don't need his help to fulfill my responsibility. So, I will not lose. I will never lose against heaven defier.'

But, the next moment, his footstep stopped as he thought 'But, I am not strong enough. If it wasn't for this pen, I wouldn't be able to make such an attack. But..... isn't this pen the reason why I have such responsibility?'

'Divine Treasure! I don't give the damn. If you want me to fulfill my responsibility, then give me your damn power.'

Guan Xing screamed as he infused his qi into the pen. The next moment, the pen trembled as it understood and released the yellow energy. It covered his body and slowly started recovering his wounds.

On another side,

Zhao Tan's body was inside a red cocoon, healing his wounds and recovering his strength. But, the red cocoon slowly disappeared and the yellow energy disappeared as well.

Both of them found their qi emptied. Although Guan Xing still had elemental essence, he can't use it.

"Ugh!" Zhao Tan slowly got up with his half-healed body while grunting in pain. He walked towards Guan Xing while his body was still injured. But, Guan Xing wasn't in the good condition either. He can use the pen's function to heal himself but he must use his own qi.

Unfortunately, the qi he had saved for the ninth stage of Qi Gathering Realm was dried up. Both of them walked in front of each other. Something was stopping both of them from admitting defeat even in such extreme conditions.

Zhao Tan cultivates Nine Heaven Immortal God Technique. His qi has the overbearing attitude of nine heavens. It is said that Pangu, the God of Creation split the heaven and earth into Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The people with lower strength lived in Ten Earths and the immortals and gods lived in Nine Heavens. Nine Heaven Immortal God Technique has nine stages. The first stage condenses the overbearing qi that refuses to bow in front of anyone, not even heaven.

It also has him Heaven and Earth Slaughtering Technique. Zhao Tan loved the spear from the age of four. That's why he incorporate his spear skill with Heaven and Earth Slaughtering Technique and created Heaven and Earth Slaughtering Technique.

First Stance- Slaughtering People was a large-scale attack. Condensing dozens of spears with the nearly same strength as his original strike, he can slaughter hundreds of lives.

Second Stance- Slaughtering Earth was an attack that pierces the earth with a single strike. He transformed his spear into a larger spear to create enough power to pierce the earth.

Third Stance- Slaughtering Heaven was a slash that split heaven. It was also a single-strike attack that pours all of his physical strength and overbearing qi into a single slash.

That's why Zhao Tan didn't admit defeat. If he ever does admit defeat, he will suffer a great backlash.

On another hand, Guan Xing was also unwilling to admit defeat. If it was another opponent, he might have admitted defeat but against someone who wants to slaughter heaven, he can't do it. Especially after he has accepted his responsibility.

"Head Elder, how about we call this a draw?" Suddenly, Lan Ming spoke startling everyone. The elders had barely healed themselves.

The head elder raised his eyebrows and turned around. He looked at the damaged arena and sighed "Alright, let's call this a draw."

He never imagined these two to have such strength. It was overwhelming. Even as an Essence Transformation Realm cultivator, he couldn't take those attacks. And more importantly, both of them had Qi Gathering Realm cultivation.

'Are they what other called Heaven Genius? I think if there are heavenly genius, then these two must be in that group.' The head elder thought to himself and landed on the ground. At the same time, Lan Ming also came to the ground.

"Head Elder, they won't accept the draw. Let me handle this!" Lan Ming spoke and walked towards them. The head elder raised his eyebrows in confusion but when he saw the look on their eyes, he understood. Both of them were genius and how can a genius accept a tie so easily?

Lan Ming walked near Guan Xing and whispered "You don't want others to know your true realm, do you?"

Hearing his words, Guan Xing was startled. But before, he could say anything, Lan Ming had moved near Zhao Tan. Seeing him, Zhao Tan frowned but he didn't do anything.

Lan walked near him and whispered, "This is not a life and death battle."

When Zhao Tan heard his words, his eyes shrunk. For a moment, he glanced at Lan Ming but before he could ask anything, Lan Ming had already left.

"Head Elder, now they are head to accept a draw." Lan Ming smiled and walked away. The head elder turned his head at them and stared with confusion. After a few seconds of glaring at each other, both of them turned away and walked out of the ground.

The head elder sighed. Geniuses are pretty much a headache during competition especially two geniuses collide. After the battle, the head elder didn't stop. Originally, he planned to do it and repair the arena but then, he thought why do it now when it might break again.

He knew Lan Ming and Qin will clash soon. And, there were other geniuses as well. So, he immediately started the next battle. And, this battle caught the attention of many disciples.

Chu Xieyi versus Guo Yang!

Chu Xieyi was the cold girl that harshly criticized the four geniuses on the second stage. And, Guo Yang was a monk. Guo Yang had a bald head and wore a Battle Dragon Sect dress with a garland from his left shoulder to right waist made out of small brown beads.

"Greetings!" Guo Yang puts a smile on his face and slightly bows in a polite manner.

Chu Xieyi nodded her head with an expressionless face and clenched her fist.

Guo Yang also released his qi. It was bright yellow qi that flowed through his body. But, the next second, his entire body got frozen in ice.

"What?" The entire crowd shouted in shock and disbelieve. For a moment, they couldn't believe that the fight ended so quickly. After freezing the monk, Chu Xieyi turned around and walked away.

But a few seconds later, the ice started cracking as the golden light shone from the ice.

Bang!

The small pieces of ice scattered everywhere. Chu Xieyi halted her steps and turned around.

"Miss Chu, how about we take this more seriously?"
