Chapter 104: Chapter 101: Silver Sword Shield, an Earth-Shattering Strike! (Part 2)

In the eyes of others, this was a provocation, full of tension. Everyone held their breath, afraid to miss the upcoming intense battle.

Silver radiance flickered in Tantai Yan’s eyes, and an entirely silver weapon appeared—a sword shield.

In the next moment, Tantai Yan gripped the silver shield with both hands. The massive shield nearly enveloped her entire body, and then a sharp knight’s long sword shot out from it.

However, Tantai Yan did not reach out to grasp the other long sword; instead, she controlled it with her spiritual power, making it hover in mid-air.

"I thought Tantai Yan didn’t have a weapon, but it turns out she does. This is the first time I’m seeing her use one; is it a sword shield?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

This remark made Cui Jian and You Ming, who were once swiftly defeated by Tantai Yan, feel extremely frustrated, realizing she had a weapon all along.

It meant Tantai Yan didn’t even need a weapon to deal with them.

Su Mu’s eyes lit up at the sight of this peculiar weapon. His hand rested on the saber’s hilt, his whole being like a blade about to unsheathe, ready to draw at any moment.

"Both sides in position, the battle begins!"

With the announcement, silver radiance flashed in Tantai Yan’s eyes, instantly unleashing a spiritual shock that crossed a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, directly invading Su Mu’s mind.

Clang!

The Red Sun Saber emitted a soft hum, and amidst a few sparks, it was unsheathed. The inscriptions on it were fully illuminated by Su Mu’s highly refined qi and blood, the blade glowing with a red hue akin to the blazing sun.

Following this, a powerful edge surged upwards, breaking through the incoming spiritual shock.

Su Mu merely grunted, and his previously vacant eyes immediately regained clarity. Instantly, he executed the Extreme Shadow Body Technique, stepping forward as swiftly as an arrow towards Tantai Yan.

"He’s withstood it—Su Mu resisted the spiritual shock that could instantly defeat Cui Jian!"

"So, the sword momentum can oppose spiritual power; now, it’s hard to say who will win."

"At the very least, in this battle, Su Mu won’t be defeated instantly. Tantai Yan must know this, which is why she used a weapon from the start, indicating that Su Mu is putting pressure on her!"

The crowd erupted in exclamations. Shi Hao, Xu Zhi, and Huangfu Xue knew that sword momentum could counteract spiritual shock, but they were still not optimistic about Su Mu. The reason being, sword momentum can only passively resist spiritual power.

Additionally, as a key to the Path of the Grandmaster, this force, while potent, is hard to sustain, especially since Su Mu had just broken through to the fifth level.

If Su Mu couldn’t defeat Tantai Yan before his sword momentum was exhausted, then it’s certain that he would lose.

But is such a feat even possible?

The initiative does not lie with Su Mu, but with Tantai Yan.

Seeing Su Mu quickly regain clarity, Tantai Yan didn’t panic. She agilely leaped backward, knowing that Su Mu had spent time cultivating in the Spirit Cultivation Room, guessing his intent.

So she decisively abandoned the idea of using spiritual shock again, realizing it was ineffective against the now sharpened Su Mu.

Tantai Yan raised her right hand, and the silver sword shot out through the air.

"What a terrifying sword, this strike is definitely more powerful than the spiritual shock. Tantai Yan is truly a monster!" Cui Jian on the field reacted with astonishment.

The coming silver sword was imbued with an extreme sharpness and a solid spiritual force, making it impossible for Su Mu to ignore.

He had to deal with the immediate threat of the silver sword first.

Su Mu took a deep breath.

Sizzle!

In an instant, the condensed blood in his heart ignited, transforming into pure qi and blood power. In an instant, a thin membrane of qi and blood circulated around him. Without hesitation, he slashed out with his saber.

Surging Waves Saber Technique First Form: Riding the Wind.

With the slash, Su Mu’s momentum began to rise, and the sharpness emanating from him became even more unrestrained, causing a tingling sensation on the skin even from a hundred meters away.

"What impressive sword momentum, but such reckless use means Su Mu won’t last long." Shi Hao spoke gravely.

Clang.

The Red Sun Saber clashed with the silver sword, and a loud metallic clang echoed.

The shockwave from the impact radiated from Su Mu, forming a gale that swept up sand several meters high.

Tantai Yan, who was controlling the silver sword, involuntarily grunted; she suffered a backlash and was on the losing side of that exchange.

"Truly frightening... but I will give my all in this battle."

The silver sword flew back, but upon closer inspection, one could see it trembling violently.

"Hiss, Su Mu repelled Tantai Yan’s controlled silver sword!" someone exclaimed.

"Could it be!"

Before the voice could fall, an unexpected change occurred.

Buzz.

An ear-piercing sound suddenly filled the arena, causing many to lose focus instantly.

If they were facing Tantai Yan, this moment would have been fatal, even enough for multiple deaths.

The concentrated spiritual power within the silver sword erupted fiercely. Su Mu was prepared; he never believed that the spiritual power on the silver sword was just for show.

The results of his grueling spiritual defense training became fully evident at that moment, as Su Mu responded almost instinctively.

He then poured his sword momentum into the Red Sun Saber without reservation, and instantly, it emitted a half-meter-long blade glow. The spiritual power unleashed from the silver sword was sliced apart three inches from Su Mu.

Su Mu raised his saber once more, stepping forward, advancing to within fifty meters of Tantai Yan.

"Multi-Layer Secret Prison!"

Tantai Yan uttered quietly, raising her left hand. Instantly, a powerful spiritual shock was unleashed, with Su Mu attempting to resist with sword momentum, only to realize it was a mistake.
