However, he appeared to be in a hurry.
When the Wind Stabilization Blade slashed at Liu Mu's sword, the sword immediately shattered. Liu Mu's sword rebounded and struck Du Jueqing's chest.
Under Wu Tie's unstoppable force, Du Jueqing's body staggered and then slid to the edge of where he was standing.
When he was about to reach the edge of his position, Du Jueqing's legs tensed up, forcefully stopping his sliding posture. He displayed his powerful control over his body.
However, in the end, it was just a matter of survival. Those with a discerning eye could see that Du Jueqing was indeed no match for Chen Yu, regardless of whether it was in terms of the thickness of the Supreme Force or in terms of physical strength.
Without a doubt, even though Du Jueqing could use the Supreme Force, he was still affected by the restriction array formation on the Heaven Stairway.
"That's it, Du Jueqing!" Laughing loudly, Chen Yu took a step on the second step and chopped down with his saber once again.
A deep unwillingness flashed across Du Jueqing's eyes. He stared at Chen Yu's face with monstrous hatred as he raised his sword and slashed.
Kacha, the clash of the swords, the Wind Stabilization Blade slashed out a red and yellow blade aura, which was like a real flame, that ruthlessly slashed down, causing the Willow Sword's spirit light to explode, as if it was broken into pieces.
There was no longer any possibility for Du Jueqing to hold on. He fell backwards towards the edge of the stairs, following the footsteps of Chu Xingyun and the rest.
The entire Sky Stairway had become absolutely silent.
Those elites of Outer Sect all revealed shocked expressions.
Du Jueqing was one of the top people in Outer Sect and was a true genius. Although the Heaven Stairway was held once a year, and it was not considered the peak of Outer Sect from one year ago, Du Jueqing was ranked second this year!
Counting it, Du Jueqing had already been in the Outer Sect for four years. From the seventh level of the Heavenly Astral Stage to the ninth level of the Heavenly Astral Stage, only less than two years had passed.
Last year's' Heaven Stairway ', if Du Jueqing's brilliance wasn't too great, and if not because of his injuries while competing with the other old Outer Sect disciples, Du Jueqing would have already entered the inner sect.
Who would have thought that Du Jueqing would actually be struck down the Heaven Stairway by Chen Yu, who had only entered the Outer Sect for a year!
In a year's time, he was still only at the sixth level of Heavenly Astral Stage, and had almost ignored the effects of the extreme gravity of the Heaven Stairway.
"Du Jueqing lost!"
"Even if he ascends the Sky Stairway again, it will be too late. He has to wait until next year to enter the inner sect again!"
"How strong is this Chen Yu?"
"…"
The discussion finally broke out at this moment.
However, there was a seal at the edge of the Heaven Stairway, and after falling down, he would have to climb up from the bottom of the Heaven Stairway once again. Du Jueqing, who had his Willow Wood Sword chopped down by Chen Yu, was not injured much, but when he climbed back up, he heard the discussions of the Outer Sect disciples. His body trembled, and then, suddenly, he opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he collapsed back onto the ground.
Chen Yu retracted his gaze from Du Jueqing. A trace of indifference flashed in his eyes, but he did not reveal any complacent expression.
"Junior Brother Chen, this way!" Right at that moment, a deep yet powerful voice resounded.
Chen Yu turned around and looked towards the first step of the Heaven Stairway. The tall man with a determined face had blazing eyes and a face full of anticipation.
"Martial Brother Lih Xie?" Chen Yu cast a questioning gaze.
"I am indeed Li!" Lih Xie's eyes flickered like flames as he said, "Please enlighten me, Junior Brother Chen!"
Lih Xie patted the Storage Bag and a black broadsword flew out. He flicked his finger and the broadsword vibrated like a dragon's roar.
"Senior Disciple Li wants to make a move?"
"Ah, this is quite surprising. Senior Disciple Li never interferes with normal matters. Could it be that he wants to stand up for Senior Disciple Du Jueqing?"
"It seems like Senior Disciple Li does not like this Chen's arrogant appearance either. I have to suppress him a little so that he will not be able to fight this year!"
"No matter what, it's going to be that Chen guy's turn this time!"
"If there is anyone on the Sky Stairway who can defeat this fellow with the surname Chen, it must be Senior Li!"
"…"
Following Lih Xie's words, there was an uproar on the Heaven Stairway, and many Outer Sect s revealed expressions of relief.
"Why?" Chen Yu raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice after listening to these noisy discussions.
"I'm just delighted to see you!" Lih Xie said, "It has nothing to do with Du Jueqing. I just want to see Junior Brother Chen's strength. If I'm not wrong, you didn't go all out when you defeated Junior Du, right? "
When Chen Yu heard Lih Xie's words, his heart trembled slightly. In his heart, he secretly lamented the accuracy of Lih Xie's eyes.
Lih Xie, Du Jueqing, and Wenn Siling were regarded as the cream of the crop in this year's Outer Sect, existences that all Outer Sect disciples could only look up to. However, Chen Yu knew that Lih Xie's strength was far stronger than Du Jueqing and Wenn Siling.
As for Lih Xie, it was said that he already had the strength to occupy a position on the Heaven Stairway and enter the inner sect three years ago. However, he had never participated in the inner sect selection because he wanted to stand at the top of the Heaven Stairway and enter the inner sect with the number one rank.
The Heaven Stairway, did not have a ranking, there was no difference between first place and second place, but Lih Xie was persistent on this point, which showed how arrogant he was.
Of course, these rumors might not be accurate. The reason why Lih Xie waited until this year to 'climb the Heaven Stairway' was something only he himself knew.
Looking at Lih Xie, Chen Yu could clearly feel the fierce fighting intent that Lih Xie's body was suppressing.
Even the extremely restricted gravity of the Heaven Stairway could not affect Lih Xie's rolling momentum. He was like a mountain, pressing down on Chen Yu from above.
"As you wish!" The eyes of both sides collided with each other as if they were solid. Chen Yu thought for a moment and then said loudly, "This way!"
Seeing through Lih Xie's determination, Chen Yu didn't say much.
"Junior Brother Chen, please make the first move!" Lih Xie said.
Chen Yu nodded. He split his legs into two and slashed out with his saber.
A blazing aura exploded forth, like a raging river of fire beneath the Punishment Tower, ready to devour everything.
"Good saber!" Lih Xie shouted and similarly slashed out. A dark and heavy saber light descended like a curtain of night, drowning everything in this world.
When
The blade collided with the flame. The fire interweaved with the darkness of the night. The fire illuminated the night, but it was suppressed by the darkness of the night. The sword intents of both sides were equally matched.
A huge force exploded. Chen Yu felt his wrist shake, but he was actually shocked by the force until he became numb.
This clash of blades, Chen Yu was sure that Lih Xie's strength was far stronger than Du Jueqing's, and his physical strength was also terrifyingly strong, so the gravity here similarly did not have much of an impact on Lih Xie.
Both of their bodies shook. Chen Yu involuntarily took a step back and retreated to the side of Wenn Siling, who was at the third step.
Wenn Siling's charming eyes were filled with surprise. Other than that, there was also an excited expression.
At the same time, Lih Xie's body swayed, unable to make use of the momentum to attack again.
It seemed like Lih Xie had gained the upper hand, but Lih Xie was clear that he had the upper hand. If it was on flat ground, Lih Xie might not have gotten any advantage.
Chen Yu steadied his body and glanced at Wenn Siling from the corner of his eyes. He straightened his back and a trace of excitement flashed across his eyes.
The Heaven Stairway this time was too easy for Chen Yu, so it was rather boring. Lih Xie's action finally made Chen Yu tense.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu activated the power of his Qi and blood. At the same time, the Astral Energy in his body surged like a tidal wave.
Chen Yu's aura suddenly soared, like a hidden thunder.
Chen Yu took a step forward, returned to the second step, and slashed down.
The blade's aura was like the descent of thunder and lightning from the ninth heaven. The astral energy was boundless, blazing and berserk, the wind and clouds stirred violently.
Nine Thunder Prison Breaking Blade.
Lih Xie's eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't hide his excitement and joy as he split his legs into two and chopped out three consecutive times with the dark thick saber in his hand. The three blades chopped towards the left, right and middle of Chen Yu's blade respectively.
The next moment, the saber light was still tearing the dark clouds apart. However, the blade aura was dim, and the burning hot, overbearing blade aura was gone.
Lih Xie half squatted, took a horse stance, and blocked with his saber horizontally.
When
As the blades clashed, Chen Yu's momentum came to a sudden halt and the blades had to be retracted.
"It's my turn!" Lih Xie's eyes flashed a look of admiration. The half-squatting Divine Comedy suddenly bounced up, like a hawk flying straight into the blue sky, man and blade becoming one, slashing down with one slash.
This slash was as fast as lightning, and the force of the strike was so strong that Chen Yu's breath caught in his throat.
It was as if the entire Heaven Stairway had fused with Lih Xie. The gravity that existed on this Heaven Stairway not only did not slow Lih Xie's saber force, but instead increased the power of Lih Xie's slash.
This extremely precise, simple yet perfect cut made Chen Yu feel a huge amount of pressure.
Chen Yu took a deep breath, slightly twisted his body and also slashed out.
The Second Blade of the Nine Thunder Prison was even more violent than the previous blade.
When
As the blades collided, the Astral Energy exploded in all directions, forming a huge shockwave.
On the third step, a spiritual lake began to appear around Wenn Siling, just like water. Wenn Siling was barely able to withstand the impact.
"Fun!" After the blades split apart, both sides' bodies shook for a bit. Lih Xie suddenly laughed out loud. His tone was bold and bold, and his momentum was like the clouds in the sky.
Chen Yu's eyes became brighter and brighter. After grinning, the third slash came down like a thunderstorm. The berserk momentum increased compared to before.
The expectation in Lih Xie's eyes became even more intense. His body was as steady as a boulder as he pushed the momentum of the mountain to its limits.
From the beginning till the end, Lih Xie did not display a strong spirit attribute. Instead, he used his blade's momentum to block Chen Yu's attack.
In terms of Knife Technique, Chen Yu felt that Lih Xie's Knife Technique was something that he had only seen in the younger generation.
When
The third slash was like the collapse of a mountain. The boundless saber aura sliced through the air.
Dang, dang, dang, dang
Fourth blade, fifth blade, sixth blade
After every slash, Chen Yu's momentum increased. By the eighth slash, the crimson glow from the blade had become endless, drowning the two figures.
Right at this moment, the bell suddenly sounded, resounding throughout the entire Heaven Climbing Peak.
