Before this, Billy hadn’t mentioned the Celestial Blade Dance to Stephanie and Sol Stuart. Judging from their reactions now, they were not only surprised by Billy’s ability to unleash such a powerful sword technique, but they also seemed to recognize the Celestial Blade Dance!
After a few breaths, the blade energy had condensed, tearing through the void and slashing towards Reit with thunderous force.
Reit also made his move in no time. He intended to end the battle with a single strike, so he didn’t hold back and activated his most powerful trump card.
Soon, he rapidly moved his hands in the air, creating countless afterimages.
A huge figure made of Chi appeared above his head, towering over ten meters tall, holding a massive wolf-tooth club in its hand. If observed closely, the figure bore more than ninety percent resemblance to Reit himself, clearly an enlarged version of his clone.
Just as Billy unleashed his blade energy, the figure let out a roar, then lifted the wolf-tooth club and smashed it towards Billy.
The sky seemed to be engulfed in a hurricane-like storm, with raging winds and a deafening sound, as if the world was collapsing. The sheer momentum was enough to make a Saint realm powerhouse tremble!
“Billy, be careful!” Stephanie shouted loudly upon witnessing this scene.
“Young Master, watch out!” Sol Stuart shouted at the same time.
Boom!
Before their words could even fade away, Billy’s and Reit’s attacks collided like two moving mountains.
The resulting shock-waves were like a nuclear explosion, devastating and overwhelming. A snow-covered mountain peak several kilometers away collapsed, sending snow and ice flying. Some birds and beasts within a ten-kilometer radius were frightened by the commotion and fled in panic.
Stephanie and Sol were both pushed back hundreds of meters by the shock-waves, the Chi inside them churning. If it weren’t for their cultivation at the late Saint realm, even the residual shock-waves alone could have cost them their lives.
At this moment, Billy spewed a mouthful of blood into the air, flying thousands of meters away. After creating a large crater in the ground, he lay motionless for a while, his aura extremely weak, blood continuously flowing from his mouth.
“Young Master!” Sol exclaimed again before quickly rushing over.
On the other hand, Reit, though not in as dire a situation as Billy, was also injured. The shock-waves had sent him flying several hundred meters away, and he, too, spat out a mouthful of blood. His face displayed a deep shock. He never expected that Billy could unleash such a domineering strike. As a Half-Step Divine powerhouse, being forced back so far and sustaining such injuries by a young man in his thirties with a single strike was beyond belief. If he hadn’t experienced it firsthand, he would never have believed it!
Whoosh!
Just as he was recovering from his shock, a massive sword made of solidified spiritual power, akin to a lightning bolt, swiftly pierced through the void, aiming directly at him.
“Hmm?!” Reit’s body was covered in sweat, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpricks as a strong sense of death enveloped him. He intended to raise his hand and block, but the ancient sword was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of him.
Without much time to think, he quickly dodged to the side.
Although he managed to avoid a fatal blow, the ancient sword still grazed his shoulder, severing his entire right arm which fell to the ground, blood gushing out.
“Hmm…” Reit grunted, quickly using his Chi to seal the wound.
“How… how is this possible…” After a momentary pause, his face turned pale, a glimmer of despair in his eyes.
“Hard to accept?” Stephanie said coldly from hundreds of meters away.
The spiritualized ancient sword from earlier was controlled by her! She had known since Billy wielded the Celestial Blade Dance that this was their only chance. She also anticipated that even if Reit managed to withstand Billy’s attack, he would still be injured, so she had prepared herself beforehand.
As the sword fell, she had already made her move!
With her strength, a full-powered strike, while Reit was already injured and forced into a defensive position, even if she couldn’t directly kill him, she would definitely inflict a heavy blow.
And the result was just as she had expected!
“Sol, how is Billy?”
Then, Stephanie turned to look in Billy’s direction and asked loudly, a hint of worry on her face.
She herself had no confidence in withstanding the move Reit just executed, and Billy had fought head-on with him. He must have been heavily injured.
“Don’t worry, Madam. Although young master is heavily injured, he can still hold on!” Sol Stuart responded loudly.
“You help stabilize his injuries first!” Stephanie’s tense heart relaxed slightly.
“Understood!” Sol Stuart replied again.
“What kind of swordsmanship was that just now?” Reit asked Stephanie after regaining some composure. After a brief shock, he had gradually calmed down. Although he had lost an arm and his combat power was reduced to less than 70%, Stephanie also had some injuries herself. He believed he still had a chance to fight!
“Celestial Blade Dance.” Stephanie replied calmly.
Earlier, when Billy activated his sword technique, she vaguely felt that it resembled the legendary Celestial Blade Dance. And when the sword formed, with the images of the sun, moon, and stars flashing on it, she had no doubts. She just didn’t understand how her son possessed a sword technique that had been lost for over a hundred years!
“What?!” Reit’s pupils contracted again upon hearing the words ‘Celestial Blade Dance’.
“The sword technique he just displayed… is the ‘Celestial Blade Dance,’ created by the renowned swordsman in the Central Part, Celestial Blade, over a hundred years ago?”
“Not bad, you know about it!” Stephanie replied once again.
As Reit said, Celestial Blade Dance Dance was indeed created by a man known as Celestial Blade Dance over a hundred years ago.
Celestial Blade Dance, who was called a martial arts prodigy at the time, had an extremely abnormal talent. It was said that before he even reached forty-five years old, he had broken through to the realm of a true Divine.
The Celestial Blade Dance he created was unmatched in the Central Part at that time. No one could withstand a single strike from him!
That was why there was the saying, ‘Beneath the sky, only this blade, to achieve perfection, only the Celestial Blade!’
However, for some unknown reason, he mysteriously disappeared from public view, as if evaporating from the mortal realm, and there had been no news of him for a hundred years.
Stephanie knew about Celestial Blade Dance from Billy’s grandfather.
There were various rumors about why Celestial Blade suddenly disappeared, but the most popular one was that the blade technique he created was too domineering, and it was likely that he went mad during its cultivation, his cultivation level plummeted, and he was eventually killed by his enemies.
“Your son… is he the heir of Celestial Blade?” Reit took a deep breath and continued speaking. After saying that, he shook his head to himself.
“It’s unlikely. Celestial Blade has been missing for a whole century; he must be dead. Your son couldn’t be the heir!”
