As the sound of his voice faded, Lu Xuan's aura froze. Both of his feet stomped on the ground, and an ethereal aura instantly spread out. Wu Feng's gaze also gradually turned serious. He raised his sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest, still remaining unchanging.
But very quickly, Lu Xuan's sword disappeared from Wu Feng's perception. Soon after, Lu Xuan also disappeared. Wu Feng could clearly see that Lu Xuan was right in front of him, but in his perception, there was nothing there.
In battle, a martial artist's perception was extremely important. Many times, it was impossible to catch the movements of the opponent with just the naked eye, but perception could. Now that Lu Xuan had suddenly merged with the world, Wu Feng immediately felt as if he had been blinded in one eye, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
"Oneness of Heaven and Man …" Wu Feng murmured softly. There was a hint of envy and admiration in his tone that was difficult to conceal. He was naturally able to tell what kind of state Lu Xuan was currently in with a single glance. Oneness of Heaven and Man was a state that all martial artists yearned for even in their dreams. However, he had never imagined that Lu Xuan would actually be able to enter such a state as he pleased. In such a state, a martial artist's strength would increase by at least 30%.
While Wu Feng was still in a daze, Lu Xuan finally made his move. A burst of power of the Way of the Heavens tore through the layers of space and descended abruptly. Lu Xuan turned his sword slightly and shouted, "Unity of Heaven and Man!"
The Smog Sword moved in response, and an incomparably beautiful sword light burst forth. The sword was like a phantom, enveloped in this sword light as it rushed forward.
Seeing this sword, Wu Feng's eyes exploded with a bright light. The muscles on his face trembled slightly, and he was actually incomparably excited. There was actually such a wonderful sword technique in the world. Just this sword alone could be called the best in the world!
But he naturally wouldn't just sit and wait for death. After seeing such a sword technique, if he couldn't exchange blows with it, wouldn't it be a great regret in his life?
Swinging his sword, Wu Feng had already given up on defending. Under this sword, defense was useless. Even if he trained the One Foot Sword to its peak, he still wouldn't be able to block this sword. Only by fighting it head-on would he be able to take the initiative.
"Dragon Rises from the Sea!"
The sword was like a dragon, and a beautiful light blue light lit up. Endless sword Qi created a curtain of light that directly welcomed Lu Xuan's One with the world. One white and one blue, two rays of light collided. One side was like a hot knife cutting through butter, and the other was incomparably fierce.
In an instant, the two sword light collided, and Wu Feng's sword Qi curtain of light instantly caved in. Obviously, he was already at a disadvantage. Faced with such a situation, Wu Feng gritted his teeth and continued to swing his sword. Streams of sword aura shot out one after another, repairing the screen of sword aura that Lu Xuan had penetrated.
However, it was clear that Lu Xuan was unwilling to engage in such a pointless contest of elemental power with Wu Feng. He immediately spun around and withdrew his longsword slightly. Then, he unleashed an even faster sword attack. It was the Meteor Chasing the Moon!
This sword instantly became the final straw that broke the camel's back. With a loud explosion, Wu Feng's light screen was instantly shattered. In the instant that the light screen was destroyed, Wu Feng explosively retreated a few steps back as he violently spat out a mouthful of blood. This move had already exhausted all the strength in his body.
Seeing the incomparably sharp white sword light surrounded by endless sword Qi swarming towards him, Wu Feng's face didn't show the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he revealed an expression of satisfaction. As a swordsman, to be able to see these two sword techniques in his life, he could die without regrets. Now, he no longer had any strength left to resist.
Seeing that Wu Feng had actually given up on resisting, Lu Xuan was also shocked. However, he couldn't stop now. He hadn't fully recovered from his previous injuries, and using Heaven Sword Nine Layers was already his limit. He couldn't stop at this moment, or else he would definitely suffer from the powerful sword Qi backlash. Even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to fight for a short period of time. In such a dangerous situation, he couldn't make such a decision.
In such a dangerous situation, Lu Xuan could only forcefully shift the Smog Sword's trajectory slightly away from Wu Feng. But even so, the Smog Sword only avoided Wu Feng's vitals and stabbed fiercely into Wu Feng's shoulder.
Receiving such a heavy attack, Wu Feng was directly pierced by the sword, and he only stopped when he crashed into the wooden path. The first half of the Smog Sword had completely sunk into his body.
"Hehe …" Wu Feng forced a smile, and a mouthful of blood flowed out uncontrollably. He looked extremely miserable.
"Senior," Lu Xuan gulped, "Why did you give up on resisting?"
Wu Feng waved his hand with great effort. "I … I'm not your match. There's … no need."
Lu Xuan sighed softly. In truth, he had expected such an outcome. If Wu Feng had been able to put up a bit more of a fight, he might have been able to save his life. While he had forcefully deflected the force of the sword, the powerful sword aura had already seeped into Wu Feng's body. His internal organs had probably been shredded to pieces. Doing so would only allow Wu Feng to live a little longer, but it was still better than nothing.
"Good … Good swordsmanship … To be able to … see it … in this life … is not in vain." Wu Feng breathed with great effort. Blood continuously spurted out of his mouth, and his voice was very indistinct.
"Senior, do you have any last words? Just based on the pointers you've given me, I'll definitely do my best to complete them. "
"No … There's nothing else. I originally wanted to ask you … to be more merciful to the descendants of my Wu family in the future, but now that I think about it … it's not realistic. It's just that they … if they know what's good for them, please … don't make things too difficult for them … Preserve a sliver of the Wu family's bloodline …"
By the time he'd finished speaking, Wu Feng's breathing had become more and more ragged. Fresh blood had already completely soaked his shirt. Wu Feng closed his eyes and rested for a moment. Then, his trembling right hand reached into his robes with great effort. Soon, he seemed to have found something. With trembling hands, he pulled out a piece of blood-stained sheepskin and forcefully handed it to Lu Xuan.
"This, this is … the One Foot Sword. You … If you're interested, why don't you study it … study it. Although it's not worth mentioning, at least … hehe, it will more or less give you some inspiration."
"Many thanks for senior's gift. This junior promises that if the Wu family is willing to side with my Nine Eastern Alliance, I will be merciful," Lu Xuan solemnly said.
"If that's the case … then that's good …" Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Wu Feng finally let go of an important matter in his heart. He shut his eyes completely, his right hand powerlessly slipping down. The sheepskin paper with the One Foot Sword on it remained firmly in Lu Xuan's hand.
"Sigh …" Lu Xuan sighed and slowly stood up. In truth, he understood Wu Feng's painstaking efforts. With Wu Feng's insight, he had long since realized that the Heavenly Sword Continent was about to change. It was simply too difficult for a small family like the Wu family to seek a win-win situation in this storm.
Wu Feng's actions were paving the way for the future generations of the Wu family. He had taken the lead for the Sikong family, so Sikong Qing would definitely be grateful and would naturally treat the Wu family well. Now, he had left behind a sword technique for Lu Xuan, as well as pointers on Lu Xuan's Starry Sky Sword Art. In exchange for a favor from Lu Xuan, if the Nine Eastern Alliance won a great victory in the future, they would naturally show mercy to the Wu family.
However, no matter what Wu Feng's goal was, this short interaction had allowed Lu Xuan to understand that this old man was indeed a senior worthy of respect.
