Sniper was not a real name.
It was only a code name.
His real name was Jue Wuhen. Originally, he had not been very famous in the Azure Void Region, but in recent days, he had gained quite a reputation on the Floating Island.
This was not only because his strength was considerable, comparable to the top twenty of the Earth Ranking, but also because his personality and temperament were extremely strange.
Despite having the qualifications to challenge the fourth or even fifth floor of the Floating Island, he deliberately remained on the second floor and targeted cultivators with considerable strength.
His favorite thing to do was to end the winning streaks of those cultivators right after they had won nine consecutive matches.
To achieve this, he would even deliberately lose after each nine-win streak, waiting until his token fragments were reduced to only one before starting the cycle all over again.
Because of this, he had earned the nickname Sniper. Anyone who knew even a little about him would absolutely refuse his challenge.
But now, Li Yun had accepted it.
"Who do you think will win this battle?"
"Definitely Jue Wuhen. Back then, even a genius ranked in the thirties on the Earth Ranking was directly killed by him. Could Li Yun possibly defeat Jue Wuhen? I think the real question is whether Li Yun can survive."
"That is true. If given the chance, Jue Wuhen will definitely kill his opponent. Li Yun might not make it through this battle."
The veterans on the Floating Island looked at Li Yun with pity.
To encounter Sniper, Jue Wuhen, in his very first battle on the second floor meant Li Yun would probably be kicked back down to the first floor right after arriving here. He would have to start from scratch again.
Whether he would even get the chance to start over was uncertain, because Jue Wuhen was never someone who showed mercy.
"Li Yun, for someone your age, having such strength truly makes you a genius."
The black-robed cultivator, Jue Wuhen, looked at Li Yun and smiled slightly. "However, there is nothing I enjoy more than personally snuffing out geniuses. Watching those who could have become great powerhouses fall by my hand is truly an enjoyable feeling."
As he spoke, Jue Wuhen licked his lips, and his face revealed an expression of immense pleasure and intoxication.
"Is that so?"
Li Yun’s expression remained calm, unaffected by Jue Wuhen’s words. "Then it depends on whether you have the ability."
"Then watch closely."
Jue Wuhen laughed heartily, then suddenly shook his body violently.
In an instant, an extra head appeared on his shoulders. Two heads now sat side by side, one on the left and one on the right.
At the same time, another pair of arms sprouted from his shoulders. He now had two arms on each side of his body, one above the other, waving with eerie coordination.
"It appeared! The Two Heads, Four Arms secret art!"
"He used his strongest technique right at the beginning of the battle. Jue Wuhen really does not want to leave any room for error."
This scene immediately drew exclamations from the surrounding crowd. Looking at Jue Wuhen’s bizarre two-headed and four-armed form, everyone’s faces showed expressions of wariness.
"The Two Heads, Four Arms secret art?"
Li Yun raised an eyebrow, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
This Two Heads, Four Arms technique was an intermediate secret art. Although it could not compare to the Soul Control secret art he had mastered, among the eighty-four thousand Soul Control divine abilities, it could still rank within the top three hundred.
Moreover, with sufficient opportunity, Two Heads, Four Arms could evolve into the advanced secret art known as Three Heads, Six Arms.
Of course, what Jue Wuhen had mastered was only the Two Heads, Four Arms secret art, which was still far from the level of Three Heads, Six Arms.
"Li Yun, bring out your Soul Sword Control Art!"
Jue Wuhen laughed loudly. His two heads spoke at the same time, and their voices were perfectly synchronized, as though they came from a single mouth. In each of his four hands, a vajra pestle over three meters long appeared.
"Let me see what kind of power the legendary Soul Sword Control Art truly possesses."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jue Wuhen erupted into action.
His four arms swung violently at the same time, and the four vajra pestles simultaneously burst forth with dazzling golden light. They shone like small suns, emitting boundless brilliance.
Four beams of golden light exploded outward together. Each beam possessed enough power to severely injure or even kill an ordinary peak Earthly Core Realm powerhouse. When combined, the four beams could likely severely injure even a Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm powerhouse in an instant.
"Since you want to experience the Soul Sword Control Art, I will let you see it."
Li Yun let out a long cry and advanced instead of retreating.
A green gourd appeared in his palm, emitting green light that rippled like water waves.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As he pulled open the gourd’s stopper, a full one hundred flying swords shot out at the same time. Along with the Flowing Cloud Formation Diagram, they unleashed unparalleled power.
Sword Qi crisscrossed like a rainbow piercing the sun, instantly tearing apart all four beams of golden light.
"Excellent!"
Jue Wuhen shouted loudly. "As expected of the Soul Sword Control Art, it truly is extraordinary. However, Li Yun, if this is all you have, then this battle will be your last."
Jue Wuhen’s two heads released a tremendous sound at the same time.
His body suddenly expanded rapidly, growing to more than ten meters tall. His four arms also lengthened to over two meters each, waving frantically through the air.
At the same time, the light surrounding the vajra pestles intensified, and the weapons expanded as well. Originally, they had been over three meters long, but now, they stretched to nearly ten meters. The four vajra pestles smashed down toward Li Yun together.
"Well met."
Light flashed in Li Yun’s eyes.
Jue Wuhen’s move was indeed formidable. It was probably even slightly superior to Saber Fiend and Golden Roc Dharma King, and its power had almost reached the limit of the Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm.
Facing this move, Li Yun also erupted into action.
From his Sword-Nurturing Gourd, another two hundred and fifty-six flying swords shot out, merging with the previous one hundred. The power of the formation instantly surged.
Three hundred and fifty-six flying swords, enhanced by the Flowing Cloud Formation Diagram, unleashed an unimaginably sharp aura. Even the residual waves spreading from afar were likely enough to severely injure an ordinary peak Earthly Core Realm powerhouse.
"What?"
"Such a powerful technique!"
The cultivators on the nearby floating islands all changed expressions. They admitted that they absolutely could not withstand this sword strike. It would probably kill them all in a single encounter.
"This kid can actually control so many swords at once?"
Jue Wuhen’s expression also changed.
Controlling over three hundred precious swords simultaneously. Was Li Yun some kind of monster?
Because he possessed the secret art of Two Heads, Four Arms, Jue Wuhen clearly understood how difficult it was to control multiple weapons at the same time.
Previously, Li Yun being able to control one hundred swords had already shocked him. But now, Li Yun could actually control more than three hundred precious swords simultaneously. What immense soul power. What terrifying control.
This was simply monstrous.
