"Finally! Something interesting."
This caused the elders that were coming towards him to have surprised expression on them. But soon they laughed remembering Xian Li's nature.
"Hahaha! Still as arrogant as ev-!"
The Sect Master of Martial Sect halde mid-way in his sentence.
Why did this seemed so familiar? Oh! He remembered.
The Sect Master of The Sun Boar had said these words to Xian Li. And his end, nobody is more familiar than him. He is still recovering his lost ear which seems to take a millenium. Thinking about this, he chose not to say anything until the end was decided.
The Sect Master of the Thunder Altar, one of the sects beleived being second to only The Three Giants of The Immortal Realm, frowned.
"We came to releive you of your duties that should belong only to the wise."
He said, in a thunderous voice.
Xian Li tilted his head and spoke,
"Oh!~ Looks like someone is kind here"
Then his expression turned cold. He spoke in a icy chill voice,
"Come. For you have annoyed me much."
In an instant, all the Sect Leaders simultaneously attacked. And Xian Li, who was ussually unflinched by any scene, seemed to have a hint of fear within him. Not visible to anyone else.
He took out his Celestial Blade with an expression of immmense sadness, which was to be expected as he was fighing his battle with his blade for the last tim, till it finally devoured him in the curse.
He immediately moved sideways to dodge the incoming attack which could not be avoided by any means. But being Xian Li, He easily deflected the attack with his spiritual energy at a 10 degrees angle.
He had used the second move of The Heaven Piercer-
Celestial Step- Crossing The Void!
[A\I-
Move II – Celestial Step: Crossing the Void
(空渡星影 – Kūwataru Seiei)
A movement technique rather than a slash. The swordsman steps as though gravity and space no longer matter, traversing the battlefield with impossible grace, vanishing from one place and reappearing in another.
Purpose: Rapid, unpredictable movement; positioning for deathblows.Effect: Phase-like step, gives illusion of teleportation.
Effect: Phase-like step, gives illusion of teleportation.]
Then he remembered the desciption his Master gave him of this move.
"The Stars drift freely, unbound by Heaven of Earth"
He did not show him how this move was done, but Xian Li still remembered how happy he was by learning a movement type move.
He was brought back to reality by the next attack, A blue hammer formed of spiritual energy was attacking him from above.
But he easily catched it with one finger and crushed it.
But suddenly and unexpectedly, his heart ached immensely. The curse was tightening at a frightening pace.
Is it due to them?
He glanced at The Four Elders of The Divine Sky, who seemed to be chanting something while pointing their hands at something which seemed to be a broken piece of metal in a shape unrecognizable to Xian Li.
So he decided to focus his attacks on them. He first attacked with a normal technique which was normal only in front of him. But that attack was stooped by two men who focused only to the defence of the four elders.
So he decided to use the first move of Heaven Piercer.
The Starlight Draw!
An almost invisible ligh which was moving at a pace uncatchable by anyone present came out of Xian Li's sword when he moved it.
It went towards the man who was one of the defender of the four elders.
He couldn't even react when it kiiled him in a painless manner.
Everybody saw it. But only Martial Sect Master was able to recognize it.
It's that move!!
While Xian Li was satisfied by the power of his attack, he was in a pain unimaginable to any mortal. As his cursed was almost reaching its end, he decided to use all of his energy for the fourth move of The Heaven Piercer-
Comet Fang Descent!
