The formations connected…
However, from within the world of the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform, the situation outside could not be seen.
People could only observe that, in the originally clear void above, a massive vortex suddenly appeared. The vortex surged fiercely, almost affecting the entire sky.
Such a scene naturally drew the attention of all the juniors.
As people fixed their gazes upon it, a figure emerged from within the vortex.
Once the figure appeared, the enormous vortex also dissipated.
Yet upon seeing that figure, people were quite surprised.
As residents of the Holy Light Galaxy, it was impossible for them not to recognise Holy Light Yu.
Compared to the others, the black-clothed youth showed no surprise at Holy Light Yu’s arrival. Instead, a sarcastic smile curved his lips.
“Is it just you alone?”
The black-clothed youth asked Holy Light Yu.
His words carried a hint of disappointment.
It was as if he had already concluded that Holy Light Yu was no match for him.
“One person is enough to make you die here.”
Holy Light Yu was easily angered. Facing the black-clothed youth’s contemptuous attitude, a vast killing intent surged from him as he spoke.
Yet upon sensing Holy Light Yu’s killing intent, the black-clothed youth merely smiled disdainfully.
“You had better forget it. You are not even as good as that girl. Do not embarrass yourself.”
“You should leave quickly and call someone stronger than you to face me.”
“Otherwise, if I make a move, it will be too late for regrets.”
The black-clothed youth said to Holy Light Yu.
His words not only enraged Holy Light Yu, but even the others from the Holy Light Clan gnashed their teeth in fury.
Holy Light Yu represented the Holy Light Clan.
Yet the black-clothed youth claimed that Holy Light Yu was inferior even to Long Xiaoxiao.
This was not only a denial of Holy Light Yu, but a denial of the entire Holy Light Clan.
“Ignorant fool, you will pay the price for your ignorant words.”
Holy Light Yu burned with rage. He no longer wished to waste words with the black-clothed youth. Gripping his longsword, he launched an attack.
The longsword in his hand was already a half-complete Venerable armament of exceptional quality. In his grasp, it radiated sharp brilliance and extraordinary keenness.
After all, Holy Light Yu was renowned throughout the world for his swordsmanship.
Yet facing the aggressive Holy Light Yu, the black-clothed youth remained utterly fearless. He hefted his longspear and met the attack head-on.
Clang, clang, clang.
As sword and longspear clashed repeatedly, sparks flew in all directions. The two were already locked in combat.
Holy Light Yu indeed lived up to his reputation. The longsword in his hand shifted unpredictably.
Yet the longspear in the black-clothed youth’s hand was equally formidable.
Their weapons crossed in an intensely fierce exchange, making it difficult to determine a winner for the moment.
This was a closely matched confrontation!!!
It gave the people of the Holy Light Galaxy a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps Holy Light Yu could truly defeat this black-clothed youth.
However, as time passed, people gradually grew anxious.
At first, the two were indeed evenly matched, but as time went on, the black-clothed youth began to gain the upper hand.
Holy Light Yu, meanwhile, appeared increasingly strained. From his struggling demeanour, it seemed he was beyond recovery.
This scene caused Holy Light Xuanye’s brows to furrow.
Others might not know, but he was aware that Holy Light Yu had taken a forbidden medicine with extremely potent effects.
If even under the power of the forbidden medicine he could not defeat the black-clothed youth,
then without it, Holy Light Yu truly would be, as the black-clothed youth had said, inferior even to Long Xiaoxiao.
After his pure battle power proved insufficient, Holy Light Yu began unleashing martial techniques to turn the tide.
First-stage Venerable Forbidden, second-stage Venerable Forbidden, third-stage Venerable Forbidden…
Powerful martial techniques continuously erupted from the longsword in his hand.
Yet facing Holy Light Yu’s techniques, the black-clothed youth still held the advantage.
Most chilling of all, from beginning to end, the black-clothed youth had not used any martial techniques.
Without employing techniques, relying solely on his half-complete Venerable armament and some attack skills, the black-clothed youth suppressed Holy Light Yu, who had unleashed third-stage Venerable Forbidden techniques.
People realised they had still underestimated this black-clothed youth.
His battle power far exceeded their imaginations.
Whether it was the earlier Long Xiaoxiao or the current Holy Light Yu, in terms of combat strength, neither was on the same level as this black-clothed youth.
The initial balance had been nothing more than an illusion created by the black-clothed youth.
Once he grew serious, neither Long Xiaoxiao nor Holy Light Yu could stand against him.
“Fourth-stage Venerable Forbidden, Holy Light Sword Momentum!!!”
Suddenly, Holy Light Yu thrust his longsword forward. Vast radiance surged from the blade, transforming into countless sword qi dozens of metres long.
The sword qi was numerous, pouring down like a violent storm towards the black-clothed youth.
This was one of the Holy Light Clan’s treasured clan techniques, Holy Light Sword Momentum.
The technique was extremely ferocious, and Holy Light Yu, who excelled in swordsmanship, had mastered it to perfection years ago.
Normally, this technique was Holy Light Yu’s killing move. After unleashing it, he would surely press the advantage.
But this time, Holy Light Yu did not. After releasing such a technique, he actually retreated.
Then, with one hand forming a seal, the runes on his palm emitted a glow.
He intended to escape.
Realising he was no match for the black-clothed youth, he chose not to prolong the fight but to flee.
Swish.
However, just as Holy Light Yu prepared to escape, a black light blade suddenly shot out from amidst the torrential Holy Light sword rain.
The black light blade was incredibly fast, too fast for Holy Light Yu to dodge.
By the time he reacted, a puff sounded. Blood sprayed in all directions. His arm had been severed.
And crucially, the severed arm was the one bearing the escape talisman runes.
With his arm cut off, Holy Light Yu lost his means of leaving this place.
“Why try to run? Are you afraid I will kill you?”
At that moment, the black-clothed youth’s voice rang out again.
Immediately after, his figure emerged from the midst of the overwhelming Holy Light sword rain.
A faint white glowing barrier enveloped his body. The barrier appeared extremely fragile, yet when the torrential Holy Light sword rain struck him, it could not harm him in the slightest.
Even as he strode through the air, the sword rain could not hinder him a single step.
Such dominance caused Holy Light Yu’s body to tremble involuntarily.
“What do you want?”
“I am the young master of the Holy Light Clan. My father is the vice hall master of the Holy Light Clan’s Punishment Hall. My grandfather is the clan chief of the Holy Light Clan. If you dare harm me, you will never leave this place alive.”
Holy Light Yu said to the black-clothed youth.
When outmatched, he, like other juniors, could only invoke the power behind him for support.
In truth, this tactic was usually very effective.
Especially within the Holy Light Galaxy, almost no one dared to disrespect someone of his status.
Yet unexpectedly, this time it failed completely.
Facing Holy Light Yu’s warning, the black-clothed youth showed no fear. Instead, he burst into laughter.
The laughter was extremely grating, utterly contemptuous.
“I originally stopped you from escaping just to have a chat.”
“But you really should not have threatened me, because anyone who dares threaten me never ends well.”
