Star Odyssey

Back then, he had launched multiple sword qi attacks at Lu Yin.
If not for Wen Sansi and the White Knight, Lu Yin might have died to this Realmling. 

Shi Zhongjian rarely spoke, and he always carried a stone sword that he would use to sweep through the void.
The sword qi covered everything in sight, and even with Lu Yin’s speed, he was still not fast enough to dodge the sword qi.
Fortunately, he was able to weaken the power level of Shi Zhongjian’s attacks, which allowed him to barely dodge them.
Still, Lu Yin was pushed around by the sword qi without any way to retaliate. 

The people chasing after the Sixth Mainland had preemptively discussed amongst themselves how they would team up to fight against their enemies.
However, the massive surge of seawater had scattered the crowd.
Lu Yin had bumped into Shi Zhongjian by himself, and the Realmling had also sought out Lu Yin while ignoring the others. 

Those who were adept with swords were all quite powerful, such as Liu Tianmu.
Although she was one of the Ten Arbiters, she was still capable of going against one of the Daosource Three Skies on her own, and she was even strong enough to make Zhi Yi nervous.
Although Shi Zhongjian did not have any exquisite sword techniques that could compare to the Thirteen Swords, his sword qi was incredibly destructive, and it also contained a tearing property.

If Lu Yin had access to that white smoke, then that would be the best defensive option.
But when Lu Yin looked around, Gu Xiao’er was nowhere in sight. 

“I remember you,” Shi Zhongjian suddenly commented as the tip of his stone sword sliced through the void and crashed down towards Lu Yin. 

Lu Yin reinforced his palm with his eight lined battle force as he tapped out with a finger, causing the Dream Finger to appear and the void to congeal.
Shi Zhongjian paused upon seeing this attack before the tip of his sword struck the finger, but the solitary finger could not overpower the stone sword.
Shi Zhongjian took advantage of this to turn around, his sword spinning out and slicing at Lu Yin’s head.
Lu Yin gathered his star energy over his palm, and the First Sun emitted a pulsating light as it collided with the tip of the sword. 

There was a crack as the ground of the miniature mainland split open, prompting the two youth to retreat at the same time.
The destruction released by the First Sun had warped the void, which caused spatial cracks to radiate outwards in all directions, though they were all successfully repelled by Shi Zhongjian.
However, Shi Zhongjian had sliced open Lu Yin’s palm with the tip of his sword, and a drop of fresh blood fell to the ground. 

Lu Yin kept a wary eye on Shi Zhongjian, as Lu Yin was still a bit weaker than the Realmling at this moment.
The Realmlings were just as famous as the Ten Arbiters, and this stone sword was difficult to defend against. 

“You had the courage and resolve to crush an inheritance item that came from the Sierrasea, and I admit that I admire you.
To cause one of the Daosource Three Skies to place a bounty on your head actually amazed me even more,” Shi Zhongjian growled as he stared at Lu Yin. 

Lu Yin frowned.
“I thought that you didn’t really speak.”

“There’s no need to talk to worthless people,” Shi Zhongjian said as he slowly raised his stone sword with the tip pointed down.
“Actually, there’s no need for a sword to be sharp—it can also be heavy.”

He then moved the sword as if he were slapping with it.
It clearly was not a slice, as he had swatted out with the flat of his sword.
The Realmling’s body then passed through the void to directly appear before Lu Yin. 

Lu Yin’s expression instantly changed.
The stone sword was not very large, but this swatting motion left Lu Yin’s entire body petrified.
It felt as if the sword was unendurably weighty, and Lu Yin hurriedly used the Yu Secret Art to divert the path of the stone sword.
It passed dangerously close to his body before smacking into the ground.
The void distorted slightly before the entire ground was crushed into tiny fragments as an indescribable weight emerged from the void. 

Now that an entire area of the miniature mainland had simply disappeared, fierce gale winds blew in every direction, even affecting the cultivators who were fighting far away from Lu Yin and the Realmling.
One such group was sent flying, and the bodies of the weaker cultivators were practically crushed to death. 

Lu Yin’s eye twitched, as that slap carried more than just physical strength; it was actually a sword technique that he could not understand, a very heavy sword technique. 

Shi Zhongjian was similarly astounded.
“A secret technique?”

Lu Yin glanced at the stone sword before striking out with a palm, unleashing One Hundred Stacks.
Shi Zhongjian raised his stone sword to block the palm, but a thump rang out as the Realmling was sent flying 10,000 meters back.
A shockwave rippled out, each ring containing the power of the Overlaying Stacks Path.
Additionally, the further the ripples traveled, the greater the strength they contained, until space was finally torn apart.

In the distance, many cultivators hurriedly moved to different areas.
In their eyes, this was a battle between Realmlings. 

Shi Zhongjian stared at Lu Yin with astonishment as bloodlust appeared in the Realmling’s eyes.
“It’s no wonder why the Daosource Three Skies are so concerned with you—you have a secret technique, and you also use the Overlaying Stacks Path.
You really are qualified.”

He then held his stone sword in a reverse grip and swatted out again.
The invisible heavy sword technique swept forth once more, targeting an enormous area.
Lu Yin’s pupils transformed into runes, and he weakened the rune lines in Shi Zhongjian’s arms as the Realmling swung out with his sword.
This actually affected the heavy sword technique so much that Lu Yin did not even need to dodge it. 

Shi Zhongjian looked at both of his hands with a strange expression before looking back at Lu Yin.
“Another secret technique.” 

Lu Yin’s brows rose.
Against a Realmling, aside from his secret technique and One Hundred Stacks, he did not have any other attacks that were strong enough.
Even his One Hundred Stacks would not be able to injure Shi Zhongjian unless it landed on his body head on, but the presence of the stone sword made it impossible for Lu Yin to land such a hit. 

However, it was not easy for Shi Zhongjian to defeat Lu Yin either.

Right at this moment, a middle-aged man tore out of the nearby void, looking quite dishevelled as he emerged.
When he turned around, horror was etched across his face.

He coincidentally appeared around 100 meters away from Shi Zhongjian, and the Realmling lifted his stone sword as he slapped out with it once again.
The middle-aged man was stunned; he was already injured, and there was simply no way for him to defend against this heavy sword technique, which caused him to lament his unluckiness.
He was an Enlighter with a power level of several hundred thousand, but he was being casually overpowered by a child. 

Lu Yin’s pupils transformed into runes once more as they flickered, weakening Shi Zhongjian’s arms and influencing the heavy sword technique.
This time, Shi Zhongjian seemed to have been prepared.
Even though he was still affected, he was able to complete his attack, and he forced the middle-aged man to the ground. 

Lu Yin’s figure flashed, and he attacked with a palm from the side.
A seemingly gentle strength with One Hundred Stacks struck out, pushing the middle-aged man away from the sword attack, which smashed straight into the ground and shattered it. 

Suddenly, Shi Zhongjian appeared before Lu Yin.
He had attacked that older man purely to force Lu Yin to save the man and reveal an opening for Shi Zhongjian to take advantage of.

However, Lu Yin had not deliberately rescued the man.
Rather, he had purposely revealed an opening.
