A group of geniuses watched the video screen, each showing a look of regret on their faces.
In this year's finals, Gao Xuan stood out alone, and many geniuses became his foil.
Liu Po, Yuan Wuxian, and others were holding back a breath, thinking about cultivating well, and one day openly defeating Gao Xuan.
This is also the pride of being a genius.
However, with Qin Xuan being so powerful, Gao Xuan clearly had no luck to speak of. This time, he was doomed.
Many geniuses were naturally a bit regretful. Of course, some were secretly pleased.
For example, Liu Po, who couldn't hide his joy in his eyes.
Whether in terms of looks, swordsmanship, or dealing with people, Gao Xuan completely overshadowed him. As long as Gao Xuan was present, he would always be a supporting role.
Unlike other geniuses, Liu Po didn't think about personally defeating Gao Xuan. He felt the chances were very, very slim.
Qin Xuan killing Gao Xuan made things much easier.
Liu Po noticed Song Yunxi's nervous face. Although this beauty had been rejected by Gao Xuan, she couldn't help but worry about him.
Liu Po quickly put away that trace of joy; he didn't want to appear too sleazy.
The live broadcast picture was actually slightly delayed.
Song Town's spiritual power was strong enough to cross the stars and directly watch the battle. He could also see more details of the fight. He didn't think Gao Xuan would lose.
Qin Xuan's Dragon Abyss Sword was as fierce as the sun, as agile as a dragon. The sword intent was domineering and fierce, with a momentum of sweeping in all directions and swallowing the world.
He was using Emperor Qin's Six Harmonies Sword, but the sword intent was more closely aligned with the Dragon Abyss Sword, with his unique personal variations.
The strong Dragon Abyss Sword had been completely refined by him, and although the sword qi was fierce and domineering, it was all controlled by his sword intent.
Ten million degrees of source power transformed into domineering sword qi, what a terrifying power.
Yet Qin Xuan could use sword intent to control such a massive power, showing how high his swordsmanship cultivation was.
Qin Xuan was the most active golden powerhouse of the Qin Family, so having such formidable swordsmanship was normal.
What really surprised Song Town was Gao Xuan, who wore flashy but impractical Sword Qi Armor, and held the Hongyi Sword.
Gao Xuan raised his sword in front of his chest, his sword intent restrained, the sword qi perfect like a sphere.
The fierce and domineering sword qi, though extremely aggressive, could not invade the seamless sword qi domain formed by Gao Xuan.
Just this move showed that Gao Xuan's swordsmanship was not inferior to Qin Xuan's.
The problem was that Gao Xuan was too young; Qin Xuan was more than four hundred years older than him. Such a difference in cultivation over hundreds of years couldn't be compensated by external objects.
No matter how strong external forces were, they were ultimately external forces.
Comparing the situations of both sides, from a rational standpoint, Gao Xuan seemed to be in a bad situation.
However, Gao Xuan dared to kill Tifeng and Qin Ken, and still dared to openly wait for Qin Xuan, so he must have his own confidence.
Song Town had very little contact with Gao Xuan, yet he could see that this young man was extremely intelligent and had a strong personality.
Knowing the situation was dire, he still dared to reject his marriage proposal. It further proved Gao Xuan's strong confidence.
Based on the intuition of a golden powerhouse, Song Town felt that Gao Xuan had a better chance of winning.
He also knew this kind of thinking wasn't very logical. But Gao Xuan's demeanor was lofty and transcendent, like an immortal.
Just this demeanor alone surpassed Qin Xuan a hundred or thousand times. Not to mention Gao Xuan's nearly perfect appearance, which naturally made people want to side with him and hope for his victory.
Song Town was also very curious about what capabilities Gao Xuan had.
The battle on the asteroid instantly entered the most intense situation.
The fierce sword qi that Qin Xuan summoned exploded the Observation Platform into countless fragments.
Even the bodies of Qin Ken and Tifeng shattered and burned under the fierce sword qi, turning into wisps of smoke and dust.
Qin Xuan didn't care about this either, the powerful marvels on the two of them had long been gone.
The people were dead, so how the bodies were handled was irrelevant. Being buried on this asteroid wasn't bad either.
When Qin Xuan waited for the sword momentum to reach its peak, the Dragon Abyss Sword slashed forward at Gao Xuan.
A hundred meters between the two, as Qin Xuan's sword intent changed, the infinitely fierce sword qi radiating in all directions suddenly converged on Gao Xuan.
Such a change in sword qi was subtle yet swift and domineering, giving Gao Xuan no space to evade.
Song Town also nodded secretly, Qin Xuan used this sword beautifully.
First, use endless sword qi to cover all directions, the fierce sword qi forming a vast domain. Then gather all the sword qi on Gao Xuan.
The expansion and contraction seemed simple, but it showed Qin Xuan's superb swordsmanship.
Song Town muttered in his heart: Gao Xuan is in danger!
Gao Xuan's grasp of the battle was actually deeper and more detailed than Song Town's.
After all, Song Town was far away, and his roaming spiritual power was inevitably repelled by Qin Xuan's sword intent. It was hard to delve deep.
Qin Xuan's Emperor Qin's Six Harmonies Sword, subtly aligning with military strategy, was indeed exquisite.
However, Qin Xuan might be overthinking. Although Gao Xuan was only nineteen, he had been cultivating for three hundred years in the Book of Genesis. He also had the experiences from his previous life's reincarnation.
After becoming a golden powerhouse, Gao Xuan's source power level reached twenty million degrees. Compared to Qin Xuan, he was only stronger, not weaker.
Gao Xuan deliberately showed weakness earlier, luring Qin Xuan to attack with all his strength.
Though the tactic was simple, it was extremely practical. Qin Xuan, confident in his strength, naturally wanted to bully the weak with the strong.
Gao Xuan gathered his strength, waiting for the fierce and domineering sword qi to converge from all directions, and only then did he raise the Hongyi Sword for a straight stab forward.
No matter how complex Qin Xuan's sword qi changes were, Gao Xuan only had to break the curve with a straight line, break the weak with strength, and shatter the fierce with sharpness.
The Hongyi Sword did not release sword qi outward; all the Water Heaven Sword Qi gathered on the Hongyi Sword's blade, clear as autumn water.
The Water Heaven Sword was dense like water and vast like the heavens.
Usually, Gao Xuan preferred to use the sword technique Ripples, using its agility and swift changes to defeat the enemy.
Facing the fierce sword momentum of Emperor Qin's Six Harmonies Sword sweeping across all directions, using Ripples would be too insubstantial, falling short on the level of sword intent.
At this moment, Gao Xuan unleashed the Water Heaven Sword, drawing on the distance of the heavens and the depth of the sea and rivers.
The Hongyi Sword's blade was bright, as if bearing the power of ten thousand rivers and seas, with the momentum to pierce the firmament.
This sword, unstoppable.
Qin Xuan, pointed at by the Hongyi Sword from afar, sensed something was amiss. Though they were a hundred meters apart, Gao Xuan's thrust with this sword held the power to pierce everything.
With the sword's edge aimed at him, Qin Xuan's heart was filled with intense fear.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, danger, danger..."
The intuition of a Golden Powerhouse frantically warned Qin Xuan that Gao Xuan's sword was too strong.
Yet, at this point, Qin Xuan had already put all his power into it. He couldn't pull back his strength even if he wanted to.
It was like investing all the troops on the battlefield; the horn of attack had already sounded, and the warriors had charged into the enemy camp. There was no way to retreat now.
In such a situation, the only chance was to gather all one's strength and charge forward bravely to break through the enemy.
Qin Xuan's eyes shone brightly, his spirit core operating at the utmost, frantically drawing Source Power from the sea to transform into fierce sword qi.
The power of his sword qi instantly increased by thirty percent, the fiery sword qi transforming into extremely strong divine light.
The moment the Hongyi Sword struck, the ferociously fierce red-gold sword light exploded into countless streams of light.
These streams of light rained down and spread in all directions like mist.
Qin Xuan was blasted back dozens of miles by the sword qi, his Dragon Abyss Sword in hand vibrating non-stop, yet still unable to dissipate the deep, endless Water Heaven Sword Qi.
Where Qin Xuan passed, a long trench several kilometers deep was left on the ground.
Qin Xuan guided the sword qi through the planet's surface, only then causing tremendous damage to the ground.
Under the billion-degree-grade sword qi, the tangible material was too fragile.
The shock from the sword qi blast penetrated the planet's deeper layers, causing enormous damage to the strata.
When Qin Xuan finally stopped, the entire planet began to tremble and shake. Numerous huge cracks appeared on the ground, intersecting each other.
The originally pockmarked surface of the small planet now had countless intersecting cracks.
The debris and dust stirred up by the sword qi flew in all directions.
Qin Xuan stood in the deep trench, with rocks collapsing and falling on both sides, burying him in an instant.
Qin Xuan couldn't attend to this; he was just directly countered by a sword, finding that Gao Xuan's sword qi was stronger, and moreover, Gao Xuan was extremely cunning, piercing through with precision.
With one sword strike, he broke through his all-encompassing Sword Domain.
The more Qin Xuan thought about it, the more frustrated he became. His Source Power Cultivation wasn't inferior to Gao Xuan's; it was just that a single misstep led to his serious injury by Gao Xuan.
The Heaven and Water Sword Intent was long and profound, continuously destroying the vitality inside him.
For a while, Qin Xuan couldn't suppress the rampant Heaven and Water Sword Intent inside him, let alone care about the changes in the external environment.
Qin Xuan spat out three mouthfuls of blood before using a secret technique to expel all the sword qi from his body.
Qin Xuan felt dizzy, with cracks appearing on his solid spirit core.
From this one sword, not only was his body severely injured, but his spirit core was also damaged by Gao Xuan's Sword Intent.
Qin Xuan felt heavy-hearted, acknowledging that Gao Xuan was incredibly strong, explaining why he could stir up trouble and do as he pleased in the Twelve Star Domain.
This time, Gao Xuan must not be allowed to leave alive.
Though inwardly furious, Qin Xuan dared not act recklessly. Having been heavily injured by one sword from Gao Xuan, he couldn't afford any more carelessness.
A trillion kilometers away in Purple Wall City on Taiwei Star, a group of observing geniuses gaped in awe.
The footage captured by satellites was unclear and delayed in time.
The crowd couldn't see the battle details; they only saw the fierce sword light reaching its peak, causing the screen to show nothing but a blinding intense light.
Then, the intense light exploded and scattered, leaving a trench hundreds of kilometers long on the planet's surface.
Through satellite imagery, the trench was distinctly clear. It seemed like this half of the asteroid was split in two by the trench.
The power from Qin Xuan and Gao Xuan's head-on clash left everyone astounded. What shocked them more was that in their first exchange, Qin Xuan was utterly defeated.
Moreover, the imposing Qin Xuan was directly buried in the collapsed earth and rocks.
Could Qin Xuan have died just like that?
Liu Po, Yuan Wuxian, and other geniuses couldn't believe their eyes. Could such a powerful Qin Xuan really be killed by a single sword from Gao Xuan? Impossible, right?
What exactly happened in the middle of it all?
The group couldn't help but look towards Song Town. They didn't believe the result and sought answers from the elder.
Song Town smiled, "He's not dead, there's more to fight."
He then sighed, "However, the boy from the Qin Family is not in good shape."
Qin Jian, hearing this, felt a lump in his throat.
The other geniuses also had complex expressions. So, Gao Xuan truly was this formidable.
Realizing Gao Xuan's strength, they were both resentful and aggrieved, feeling that Gao Xuan was on a completely different level from them. Did he find it amusing to join the Sword Dao Championship and bully kindergarteners?
Truly oppressive…
