Chapter 1222 - 1222 405 Peerless
1222: Chapter 405 Peerless 1222: Chapter 405 Peerless It’s not that Dou Zhao, in the state of Fighting Golden Body, has surpassed Zhongxuan Zun in pure strength.Rather, in the moment he revealed his Fighting Golden Body, his intention and momentum were both bursting forth.
Like spring grass sprouting rapid growth, like waves from the rising tide.
Zhongxuan Zun could no longer block his sword intent!
The Fist of Five Divine Skills controlled by the starlight crumbled under Dou Zhao’s Deity Slayer Sword.
In such circumstances, pushing Dou Zhao up to an infinite height, towards the scorching sun of the real world, had become an impossibility.
If the standoff continued, there would be no need to fly any further; Dou Zhao could directly cut down Zhongxuan Zun with the pure force of his sword intent.
Both parties in the battle understood this very clearly.
In such a situation, Zhongxuan Zun decisively triggered his Divine Skills, reversing the Power of Zhong Xuan!
Holding up the sun, he suddenly began to plummet rapidly.
For an instant, the sun and the edge of the Tianxiao Sword separated.
But…
Clang!
The Tianxiao Sword swiftly slashed down, striking the sun anew!
Zhongxuan Zun now wanted to disengage from the fight, but Dou Zhao disagreed!
Above in the high firmament, he unleashed a furious barrage of sword strikes.
As Zhongxuan Zun was accelerating in his descent, to prevent him from escaping the sword’s reach, Dou Zhao did not use any complex Sword Skills, but chose the simplest and most direct…
Slashing attack!
His sword’s momentum enveloped Zhongxuan Zun, unwilling to part even for a moment.
As the whole person followed Zhongxuan Zun’s descending momentum, the Tianxiao Sword continuously hacked down.
Clang clang clang clang!
Clang clang clang clang!
Like torrential rains battering banana leaves, he hacked fiercely and wildly.
The Tianxiao Sword created a multitude of afterimages, as if there were hundreds of swords slashing towards Zhongxuan Zun.
There were only this many sword shadows.
Simply because under Zhongxuan Zun’s control, the sun, shielded and blocking the blade, was only so big, not allowing room for more slashing space.
But Zhongxuan Zun could not shrink the sun any further, because this was already the most suitable form under his extreme control.
Larger, and he couldn’t support it; smaller, and it couldn’t block the descending sword, not enough to protect himself.
Both sides reached their limits in offense and defense.
In the eyes of all spectators, those two dots that gradually grew distant and smaller, became larger and clearer again.
Then they heard the whistling sound of the air exploding.
And then they saw—
The brilliantly shining Golden Body of Dou Zhao, holding the Tianxiao Sword in both hands, overpowering the sun, and slashing Zhongxuan Zun, who was in the Five Mansions Radiant state, down from the high heavens!
The five intense sources of light piercing through the white robes, illuminating Zhongxuan Zun like a Deity.
And Dou Zhao’s red-bordered golden martial uniform was completely stained into shining gold.
He, in the air, with his back against the scorching sun, seemed to have become the sun itself!
The successive rapid slashes, like a powerful Ironsmith forging metal by the furnace, treated the extraordinary Zhongxuan Zun as a piece of iron, a lump of metal.
Each slash fell like a heavy hammer.
It had always been Zhongxuan Zun smiting others with the sun and his fists; Jiang Wang was seeing for the first time him being smashed in this manner.
The sword smashing the sun was just the surface.
The real spectacle was the intense duel between Dou Zhao and Zhongxuan Zun when the Tianxiao Sword and the sun collided crazily.
Just as Zhongxuan Zun had once pushed back Dou Zhao, this time it was Dou Zhao repeatedly making moves, the Power of Zhong Xuan, the Fist of Five Divine Skills steered by starlight…
attempting to escape the sword’s momentum.
But Dou Zhao, with the path of Dou Zhan, wielded the Deity Slayer Sword, resolving each one.
In the rounds where Dou Zhao had the upper hand, he gave no opportunity to Zhongxuan Zun!
Unlike rising, Zhongxuan Zun’s fall had an end, and it was swiftly approaching.
Dou Zhao swung his sword seeming wild, yet every strike was precisely controlled.
One sword chasing another.
Layers of swords building upon each other, accumulating momentum.
And this accumulated sword momentum, at its peak moment, precisely when Zhongxuan Zun was being split in two when he could retreat no more upon hitting the ground!
From ten thousand feet in the sky all the way back to Guanhe Platform, from a distant dot to being clearly visible to all spectators… How many slashes were swung in total?
Jiang Wang counted them very clearly.
Seventeen thousand five hundred and sixty-two slashes.
Dou Zhao and Zhongxuan Zun in the battle were even clearer.
In every detail and every specific and minute aspect, they fought, power, momentum, intention, with no compromise whatsoever.
If nothing unexpected happened, within twenty thousand slashes, the victor would be determined.
This outcome was certainly not what Zhongxuan Zun wanted.
So he split his hands apart!
The sun disappeared…
That violent storm-like slashing momentum.
Abruptly stopped.
But the Tianxiao Sword, having accumulated the momentum of seventeen thousand nine hundred and thirty-one slashes, struck Zhongxuan Zun unshielded, slashing across his extraordinarily beautiful face!
In the stands, Yellow Sheri clenched the seat tightly, unable to bear the decay of beauty.
Snap.
That radiant, gem-like object, shattered.
Zhongxuan Zun’s life-saving Divine Skill!
Throughout the rapid descent, he was continually unable to escape Dou Zhao’s sword momentum.
Upon realizing that the situation was irredeemable, he decisively retracted the sun, risking the use of a life-saving Divine Skill to prematurely terminate Dou Zhao’s consecutive slashing.
But the timing he chose was also very clever.
Not only just hitting a particularly uncomfortable point for Dou Zhao, making his accumulated slashing power unable to maximally explode, dissipating a small half of its force…
But also the location.
The position they were in now, still in the high air…
right beside the moon!
That moon hanging high in the sky, already bypassed and overlooked by many, as they fell back from an even higher place, once again passed by.
Right at this moment.
The brilliant full Ming Yue suddenly transformed into thousands of beams of moonlight, covering Dou Zhao’s entire body.
Thread by thread of moonlight, one end connected to an unknown void, the other end fixed on Dou Zhan’s body.
