Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Dang dang dang! Dang dang!!!!

A dense sound of clashing metal rang out, like jade beads falling onto a silver plate!

Dang dang!!

Sparks flew as weapons met, two afterimages flashing across the arena.

The hard ground of the martial arts stage was as fragile as porcelain before them.

Bang! Bang bang!!

The ground beneath their feet shattered inch by inch.

In Li Guanqi's eyes, Xiao Chen was locked in a fierce battle with the dual short sword wielder named Xu Han.

Xiao Chen, wielding the God-Shooting Spear, was unable to suppress Xu Han despite the spear's length advantage!

An inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous!

But Xu Han's dual short swords were exceptionally ferocious!

The seamless switching between forehand and backhand added a touch of unpredictability to their battle.

Clang!!!

The spear slammed down fiercely, a swift and ruthless strike.

Xu Han held his short swords in a reverse grip, crossed over his shoulder, bracing for the impact!!!

Bang!!!

Unable to withstand the force, Xu Han lowered his stance, kneeling on one knee.

His knee slammed into the ground, shattering the blue bricks.

His face paling, Xu Han looked up at Xiao Chen and licked his lips.

"You've got some power."

Before the words were finished, his right hand braced the spear shaft, and his left-hand short sword transformed into a ghostly light, heading straight for Xiao Chen's face!!!

His right leg, previously kneeling on the ground, suddenly straightened and exerted force!

Thump!!

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly; the sharp blade aura was too intense, even cutting through his robes.

The short sword followed the spear shaft, slashing diagonally with incredible speed!

Xiao Chen didn't have enough time to retreat.

Boom!!!

Azure and crimson flames instantly erupted, the power of the Great Sky Xia Flame sweeping in all directions.

Whoosh!!

Xu Han was forced back dozens of feet, spinning in the air before landing on his feet.

The surrounding disciples erupted in enthusiastic applause and exclamations.

Even Li Guanqi and the others couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"What a powerful swordsman!"

Ye Feng and Cao Yan couldn't help but nod slightly.

Initially, neither Xu Han nor Xiao Chen was using their full strength, merely testing each other.

To be forced to use the power of the Great Sky Xia Flame!

This first exchange had already put Xiao Chen at a disadvantage.

Not far away, Zhuang Xiaomeng on the magnificent platform frowned slightly, looking at Xu Han and muttering.

"What a powerful swordsman, despite his slender build, his physical explosiveness is so strong."

"And his body is very flexible, those hands... though large, are incredibly nimble."

Zhuang Jie nodded with satisfaction.

Although Zhuang Xiaomeng was a bit love-struck, her insight and strength were not lacking.

As for some of the deeper things, Bai Li Daochang, Zhuang Jie, and Yan Chuan saw them more clearly.

Xu Han's strength was far greater than what Zhuang Xiaomeng and the others saw!!

This Xu Han looked like he had crawled out of a pile of corpses.

On the same platform, Yan Chuan was flanked by Cui Zhongyan and Qin Gang.

Previously, Yan Chuan and the three of them had been communicating in low voices.

At this time, Cui Zhongyan watched the battle on the stage with a smile. All three battlefields were evenly matched, with back-and-forth exchanges.

Qin Gang smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Old Cui, your disciple... is not simple."

"Decisive in killing, with excellent insight."

"Moreover... he should possess a spiritual body, right?"

Cui Zhongyan folded his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile.

"So-so, his spiritual body is just an ability to assist in combat."

After speaking, the old man turned to look at the two.

"Fellow Daoist Yan Chuan and Fellow Daoist Qin, speaking of which, that disciple wielding the spear can be considered a disciple of your two families, right?"

"Hey, if our Four Realms Sword Pavilion disciple wins against him, wouldn't that be a victory over your two families?"

Yan Chuan's face twitched as he glanced at Cui Zhongyan.

"Old Cui, aren't you a bit shameless?"

"How about opening another martial arts stage and letting our Absolute Immortal Hall disciples compete as well?"

Cui Zhongyan shrugged and shook his head in refusal.

"I won't do that; this is an exchange between us and the Great Xia Sword Sect."

"However... the Absolute Immortal Hall can have a good exchange with us in private."

Yan Chuan nodded with a smile, also feeling that this kind of exchange between the two sects was particularly good.

On the other hand, Qin Gang spoke calmly.

"It's just the beginning, don't rush."

"Xiao boy is not as weak as you think."

Yan Chuan also nodded slightly in agreement, knowing very well how strong Xiao Chen was.

In a battle of the same realm... he rarely meets an opponent!

The three sect leaders were all paying attention to the battle on Xiao Chen's side at this time.

Not to mention the disciples of the two sects below, the cheers of encouragement were deafening.

The sound of war drums became even more激昂!

There was a bloody mark on Xiao Chen's cheek. He licked his lips, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Facing an evenly matched opponent, Xiao Chen finally took him seriously.

"You are strong."

"Thank you."

"However... merely being so is probably not enough..."

Standing dozens of feet away, Xu Han frowned upon hearing these words.

He gripped the short swords tightly, his gaze never leaving Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's chest expanded, and he exhaled a breath of stale air.

He held the God-Shooting Spear with both hands, the spear shaft trembling slightly, and a clear spear cry rang out.

Screech!!!

Boom!!!

The fiery red tassel suddenly fluttered.

The clothes on Xiao Chen's body instantly exploded, revealing a strong physique covered in dense scars.

The Spear Soul Realm spear intent seemed to pierce through the heavens and the earth, reaching straight into the clouds!

Azure and crimson mysterious patterns appeared on the nine spiritual rhyme Dao rings.

Xu Han clenched his teeth, his expression becoming extremely solemn, without the casual ease he had shown before.

Even his stance turned into an unconscious defensive posture, his whole body tensed.

At this time, Xiao Chen's aura completely changed, as if he were a different person!

Xiao Chen held the spear with both hands, his eyes calm as he took a step.

Bang!!!

The ground beneath his left foot instantly exploded.

At this moment, Xu Han's pupils suddenly contracted, the hairs on his arms standing on end, and a chill rushed from his spine to the top of his head!!

The cultivators of the two sects below all saw the change in the arena at this time.

"Hiss! The aura of that guy with the spear is so terrifying!"

"The oppressive feeling is so strong that even without standing on the stage, I feel like I can't breathe..."

"Xiao Chen... what a terrifying guy, but Senior Brother Xu is not bad either."

Cao Yan looked at the stage and muttered in a low voice.

"Fourth Brother is going to get serious."

Tang Ruo calculated with one hand, frowning.

"Tsk, can't even see clearly?"

Li Guanqi turned to look at Tang Ruo, speaking with a slightly reproachful tone.

"Fifth Brother, don't frequently deduce the secrets of heaven; it hurts your body."

Tang Ruo was stunned, then released his hand and nodded with a smile.

"I'll listen to Big Brother."

Buzz!!!

A mysterious power burst forth from Xu Han's body.

Boom!!!

In an instant, Xu Han's aura soared from the ninth level of Heavenly Immortal Realm to the point of half-step True Immortal.

A layer of golden light enveloped the blades of the two black short swords, as if they had been sharpened...

Xiao Chen stared intently at Xu Han, and said softly.

"After the fight, I'll treat you to a drink!"

Boom!! Boom!!!

Two figures instantly disappeared from everyone's sight. When they reappeared, only afterimages could be seen flashing across the arena, and violent roars resounded continuously.
