Chapter 24: Above the Blue Sky, the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Stirs

  This divine thought seems to be an abstruse and profound principle, Tang An didn't quite understand it, but he could instinctively use this divine thought with ease.

  It seems to be born with it!

  "It's divine intent! This Green Dragon Power actually contains divine intent!"

  Tang An suddenly felt his body relax, and he also took a step forward along with the feeling!

  Incredible footsteps!

  At this moment, he actually escaped from that ghostly cry of a knife in this life-and-death critical juncture!

  But this is not the end!

  Next, Tang An's footsteps suddenly became mysterious and fleeting. With each step he took, there were bursts of thunderous sounds accompanying him. A cyan glow appeared at his feet, and a series of talismanic waves emerged from the ground. Wherever his body passed through, a gigantic cyan dragon faintly materialized in mid-air.

  Dragon scales densely covered, clear and visible!

  Every step Tang An took, the high platform emitted a dull crumbling sound. Then, under his feet, there appeared again a few wispy and ethereal shadow clouds.

  The wind is from the tiger, and the cloud is from the dragon!

  "Secret Technique: Cloud Dragon Nine Manifestations! Nine Manifestations Divine Dragon Steps!"

  "Whoosh......" "Whoosh......"

  With three consecutive steps, Tang An's figure had already become blurry and unclear, but the strange aura on the arena was becoming increasingly clear.

  Everyone was stunned at this sudden turn of events. Even the three people on the high platform stood up involuntarily.

  "This is... Heaven?!"

  Tang An's trajectory is unbelievable and fast beyond imagination.

  "Hmm"

  Faster than him, and even more eerie, was the sword in his hand!

  Nine Heavenly Dragon Steps, First Step...

  In an instant, Tang An appeared on Doro's left side. A flash of sword light, and Doro only felt his eyes daze, his wrist ache, and a stream of blood suddenly shot out.

  With a loud roar, he twisted his body. The two eyes that were swollen like blood blisters suddenly shot out two blood-red lights, and then this strange light suddenly wrapped him up, rising into the air in an instant.

  He flew up!

  Everyone below the stage exclaimed: "He has also entered...the Heavenly Boundary?!"

  Their tone was already somewhat unbelievable. In that brief moment, the two people on stage had actually both stepped into the realm of heaven!

  This is really unthinkable!

  Doruo was enveloped in a blood-colored glow, his entire body moving swiftly, like a red light. His combat strength also increased by a large margin in an instant.

  He left a trail of blood-colored afterimages in the air, and then fiercely pounced on Tang An on the ground. The curved knife in his hand was madly slashed out, and a sharp blade edge rushed towards Tang An. This dazzling blade edge instantly submerged the entire high platform...

  Although heterophase was produced, Tang An after all did not truly reach the heavenly boundary, that divine thought was only a secret technique that had been stimulated to the extreme, and what was spontaneously generated from the green dragon's vigor did not belong to Tang An.

  And that Cloud Dragon's appearance is just a special effect of the secret technique, and this effect will absolutely not last for long.

  Tang An's internal energy had been completely absorbed, and now only a thread of Qinglong Jin remained in his body. Although Yun Long Jiu Xian's footwork was ingenious, Tang An could not possibly leave the ground for long periods of time like Du Luo, flying freely in mid-air.

  So he could only land on the hard ground with a thud!

  Doro's left hand was severed, it hurt, a heart-wrenching pain!

  This pain has driven him mad!

  He was like a madman, constantly striking down at Tang An with his extremely powerful blade.

  "Boom!"

  A massive wave of energy surged, and the dazzling blade light made it impossible to open one's eyes. On the high platform, after this blade light had passed, everything was already in a state of disarray, and the originally flat ground was now pockmarked with holes. Amidst this chaos, Tang An still stood in his original position.

  He raised his head, his eyes firm and resolute, staring indifferently at the Doruo in the sky!

  He has forgotten everything, life and death, and even himself!

  Leave only one thought!

  Kill!

  Everyone outside held their breath, they raised their heads and stared intently at this shocking battle!

  "This is indeed a master of the highest level, how many are there in the world?"

  And here, two were actually produced directly!

  It's fortunate for me to witness this battle in this life, and I've gained endless benefits from it!

  Duoluo floated quietly in the sky, his wrists still dripping with fresh blood. He seemed to be unaware of anything else, his icy eyes fixed only on Tang An. All over Tang An's body, countless knife wounds oozed out crimson blood.

  Just now in Dororo's knife edge, his whole body's green dragon power surged, but still couldn't withstand Dororo's knife edge!

  Just then, suddenly, Dororo moved.

  He actually gave up his advantage in the air and transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards Tang An fiercely.

  This knife was extremely fast, and Tang An suddenly dodged to the side, barely avoiding Du Luo's fatal blow. Immediately after, he swept his momentum, transforming into a cyan light that suddenly leapt up, flashing behind Du Luo in an instant.

  Cloud Dragon Second Appearance!

  Tang An's sword flashed out with a cold gleam, and Duoluo was already exhausted. The power of the Tianjing had drained all the internal energy from his body. He was so tired that he couldn't even dodge, barely avoiding the vital points, but his left shoulder was stabbed by Tang An once again!

  "Ah!"

  Duō Luò suffered intense pain, and suddenly his entire body was enveloped in a bloody glow. A fierce killing intent burst forth from him.

  Boom

  Duoluo didn't care about the sword still on his body, suddenly turned around, and swung the curved knife in his hand fiercely towards Tang An!

  Tang An didn't dodge either!

  He was already exhausted! A narrow and long wound suddenly appeared on his chest! As soon as the wound opened, fresh blood flowed out instantly.

  Dororo's slash hit its mark, and he flew through the air once again!

  He floated quietly in the void, panting heavily, and refused to dive down again. His consumption was also extremely high, and his injuries were not much lighter than Tang An's. However, he had now used a secret technique and temporarily entered the Heavenly Realm. The recovery ability of a Heavenly Realm expert far surpassed that of ordinary people. He slightly circulated his true energy, and the powerful life true yuan immediately stopped his wounds from bleeding.

  But he still regarded Tang An with great fear, and as soon as he recovered a bit from his injuries, he launched another fierce attack on Tang An. A wave of blood-colored sword energy swept towards Tang An, even more terrifying than the previous one. Each wave of this bloody sword energy contained an enormous amount of power. It seemed that Du Luo had poured out all his true yuan in one go! Anyone could see that Tang An, who was swaying unsteadily, would absolutely be unable to withstand it!

  It's absolutely impossible to avoid!

  But will Tang An let him have his way?

  Tang An stared intently at the incoming knife tip, without a hint of fear in his eyes. Suddenly, his feet moved again. And this time, his footwork was even more bizarre.

  One step forward, and the winds of change will sweep forth!

  One after another, white clouds like lotus flowers kept emerging from under his feet, and the clouds also emitted a radiant glow that was dazzling to the eyes!

  Blood continued to flow from Tang An's chest, and his clothes were already soaked. Every step he took, he felt an unbearable pain in his lower abdomen! He knew that he was overdrafting his own life force!

  However, apart from this, he has no other way!

  Tang An took one step at a time, seemingly slow, just like a drunkard, swaying back and forth. But everyone saw that Tang An, with this unpredictable gait, was actually stepping into thin air!

  With every step he took, his figure became more and more elusive, also increasingly mysterious... And Dororo's heart was filled with increasing fear as he took each step!

  That's the intuition of a master! He has already sensed it...

  He will die!

  At this moment, Dororo's back suddenly felt a chill, as if he had already seen his own future!

  Tang An took a step in each direction, as if he was freely shuttling through space. He suddenly appeared from one position to another, and when he took his sixth step, he flew up into the air. By the seventh step, he had already appeared behind Du Luo.

  A flash of sword light!

  At that moment, Duoluo only felt a chill in his chest, and he had already been pierced through!

  However, Dororo is still in the heavenly realm at present, and his speed, strength, and recovery are far beyond what he was capable of earlier.

  Although he couldn't avoid Tang An, he did manage to dodge a fatal blow!

  Tang An, that sword stroke was off target!

  Tang An didn't think much of it...

  The eighth step treads out...

  In an instant, his hands burst forth with a dazzling array of cyan light, its radiance rivaling that of the sun and moon!

  The sword, without any accident, stabbed into Dororo's body from the side!

  Tang An's wrist shook, and his sword suddenly stirred!

  In an instant, Dororo's internal organs were completely pulverized!

  He's done for!

  Duoluo is not dead yet, his eyes are still searching for Tang An's trace! He has not been defeated, because he still has a knife in his hand!

  As long as a swordsman still has his sword in hand, it's not over yet!

  Tang An doesn't care...

  The ninth step is taken, this is already the last step.

  Sword, azure, slightly cold, residual sun, already deceased!

  Tang An suddenly stepped out from the void!

  After this step, the sky suddenly changed, and all things changed. Behind Tang An, there was a hidden dragon rising, with the meaning of the Blue Dragon ascending to heaven!

  "The Cloud Dragon appears nine times, the divine dragon appears nine times!"

  Killing Sword, Ninth Style!

  "One sword shines cold over nineteen provinces, its aura stretching across ninety thousand miles!"

  In an instant, a cyan sword light burst out from Tang An's hand like a waterfall! At that moment, the sky and earth changed color, this sword's cold light penetrated into people's souls, everyone would never forget this sword that came out of thin air today!

  This sword's light is truly too cold, it has already surpassed the sun and moon!

  Above the blue sky, the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon strikes!

  On the high platform, Yue Wu, Qin Qingxiang, and King Jin suddenly changed their faces, seeing Tang An's incredible sight of the Blue Dragon rising to the sky. They all saw the unthinkable from each other's eyes. "This... is the Azure Dragon symbol? Is it one of the Nine Dragons in the Jiugong Dryan technique? How can he..."

  Tang An's final sword strike was made, and Du Luo had completely vanished into thin air, without even leaving behind a single remnant. Everything had been consumed by the sword light!

  After the sword light passed, the heaven and earth were suddenly filled with darkness again. Even the firelight on the ground dimmed.

  Tang An suddenly fell from mid-air, and a burst of cyan light flashed around his body.

  He fell to the ground, his hands had lost their strength, and he couldn't even hold onto his sword, yet he still stood proudly on the high platform. His back remained straight, his face still cold and stern!

  But his eyes were streaming with tears!

  His face was covered with tears and dark red thick blood, making him look ridiculously abnormal, but no one could laugh at this scene.

  At this moment, Tang An suddenly turned around and looked at the crowd below. The thousands of people below held their breath, silent, all excitedly looking at Tang An. From then on, he became another legend in Jianghu!

  Tang An's eyes were still streaming with tears, he didn't care about anything else, and loudly asked, his voice hoarse from shouting: "What is my name?"

  Below the stage, a burst of applause erupted instantly: "Tianjian Tang An!" Tens of thousands of people had already boiled over. The duel between these two great masters was really too tragic. And Tang An's victory was truly shocking. That dragon-like figure in mid-air, those who watched this battle, would never forget it for the rest of their lives!

  Tang An heard the shout and burst out laughing, his eyes streaming with tears: "Heavenly Sword Tang An! That's right, I am Tang An! I am Heavenly Sword!"

  Tang An asked again: "How many people in the world don't know?"

  "From now on, there will be no one in the world who does not know!"

  Tang An wiped away his tears, "Old dad, have you ever heard... from now on, son, the whole world will know!"

  The sword has risen to the blue sky! This sword shines coldly over nineteen provinces!

  Tang An suddenly turned around, his hand grasped emptily, and frost condensed into snow. Suddenly, a sparrow jumped up.

  "Who will convey a message for me and inform Wang Ruitu that on the sixth day of the sixth month, at the north of the capital city of Yanjing, in the valley of Biliuhe, he should surrender his head and wait!"

  After finishing speaking, Tang An burst out laughing and left. The fresh blood on his chest was still flowing profusely, but he didn't notice at all...
