The two of them once again assumed their battle stances, their entire bodies brimming with battle intent. However, at this moment, the disciples below the stage were in an uproar.
"Hey! Did you guys hear that? Lin Tian took the initiative to admit defeat. That means that the winner of this duel is Lu Xuan. Haha, I can take my bet later! "The disciple who spoke was the one who bet on Lu Xuan's victory.
However, someone immediately retorted, "Bullsh * t! Just now, it was just a competition of aura. The battle has just begun, so how can it be considered as Lu Xuan's victory? Only then can the real outcome of the battle be determined! "
Without a doubt, the person who retorted was the disciple who bet on Lin Tian's victory.
"You guys are too shameless. Lin Tian himself said that he has already lost. No matter what happens next, it will naturally be considered as Lu Xuan's victory." The disciple who spoke earlier was unhappy. The odds for Lu Xuan's victory were 1: 1.5, and they had bet thousands of contribution points. For them, this wasn't a small amount.
The argument between a few disciples instantly turned into a quarrel between countless disciples. With benefits at stake, no one was willing to admit defeat.
"Silence! Anyone who makes a racket will be directly expelled! " Seeing that the quarrel was getting more and more intense, to the point that it even affected the two main characters on the stage, Elder Cheng finally stood out. He wouldn't care about the little bet of these disciples. No one should think about affecting the competition between the two geniuses of his Sword Sect.
However, Elder Cheng's angry shout couldn't suppress the situation. Although many disciples had quieted down, there were still some disciples who were still making a racket.
This time, Elder Cheng was furious. They dared to be so impudent in the Sword Sect's territory. Perhaps the Sword Sect didn't have much status in the past, but with the rise of Lu Xuan and the entry of Lin Tian's sword intent, the Sword Sect would most likely become the number one branch sect again after the next Sect Grand Competition. How could they tolerate a group of disciples being impudent?
He immediately soared through the air and landed in the middle of the crowd. He quickly grabbed a few disciples who were making the most noise and threw them out. Although he used a sliver of Origin Power to support them when he threw them, so that they wouldn't cause too much damage, they still suffered a lot of pain.
As soon as Elder Cheng made his move, those disciples who were still arguing instantly shut up. Being thrown out was no laughing matter. Not only would they lose face, but they would also get bruised and bruised if they were not careful. With their status, they could only grit their teeth and swallow it down.
Elder Cheng coldly swept his gaze across the crowd. Seeing that no one dared to make a sound, Elder Cheng returned to the judge's seat.
Seeing this, the disciples who supported Lin Tian were naturally extremely happy. At least there was still a chance to turn things around. As for the disciples who supported Lu Xuan, they were secretly worried for him. Originally, Lu Xuan's strongest trump card was his small success sword intent, but Lu Xuan had just said that they would only compete with their hands. Neither of them would use their sword intent, which was undoubtedly giving up his greatest advantage. On the surface, it seemed like Lu Xuan was no match for someone who was at the peak of the sixth rank of Body Refinement against someone who was at the peak of the seventh rank of Body Refinement.
But no matter what, they could only secretly cheer for Lu Xuan in their hearts. They had to win this battle. That way, no matter what, they would definitely win.
As the crowd quietened down, Lu Xuan and Lin Tian had already completely entered their battle state. In their eyes, there was only the existence of the other.
Lu Xuan used a heavy sword. Facing Lin Tian, he chose to defend instead of attack. The most powerful aspect of the Black Iron Sword was that it had no flaws. How could a sword technique that was completely made up of basic sword moves have any flaws?
Since Lu Xuan did not attack, Lin Tian naturally chose to take the initiative to attack. For someone like him who used a quick sword, the best defense was to attack. If the opponent did not even have the slightest chance to attack, how could he even defend?
With a low shout, Lin Tian's body suddenly flashed. In a flash, he had already arrived in front of Lu Xuan. The [Blood Drinker Sword] in his hand noiselessly extended towards Lu Xuan's lower body. Sword Qi burst forth as the sword slashed upwards!
How could Lu Xuan, who had been closely watching Lin Tian's movements, let Lin Tian succeed so easily? He quickly raised the black iron sword, and with an ordinary horizontal sweep, he instantly sealed off the direction of Lin Tian's attack.
Although it was only an ordinary horizontal sweep, with the weight of the black iron sword, as well as Lu Xuan's yuan power, the power was enormous!
Before the sword arrived, the sword wind had already arrived!
An incomparably powerful force directly attacked Lin Tian's face!
Facing this powerful force, Lin Tian did not dodge or evade, and continued to attack Lu Xuan. A few exclamations sounded from below the stage. They did not know what Lin Tian was doing. Was he committing suicide?
But before they could figure it out, an unexpected scene appeared. Lin Tian, who was swept by the sword wind, did not spit out blood as they had expected. Instead, he suddenly turned from hard to soft, as if he had turned into a broken leaf, drifting along with the sword wind!
In an instant, he floated to the left of Lu Xuan. At this moment, the soft force that Lin Tian emitted suddenly disappeared, once again turning from soft to hard. Both his legs abruptly stomped on the ground, his speed increased by another thirty percent, and like an arrow leaving the bow, he thrust his sword forward!
For a moment, the disciples below the stage could not keep up with Lin Tian's speed. As if he had teleported, the tip of Lin Tian's sword was less than five steps away from Lu Xuan. With Lin Tian's speed, he would probably be able to pierce through Lu Xuan in the blink of an eye.
Exclamations sounded again, but this time, it was those who supported Lu Xuan who began to worry for him. They believed that if Lu Xuan was wielding a longsword, he would definitely be able to block this strike. But now, he was wielding a heavy sword that weighed eighty one kilograms. Even swinging it was extremely difficult, so how could he possibly block this extremely fast strike?
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan let out a low growl. The incomparably heavy black iron sword was instantly swung up and viciously slashed downwards. Although it had been launched later, it arrived first and blocked between the two before Lin Tian's sword could reach him.
Lin Tian's gaze flickered, preparing to change the direction of his attack, but he did not expect the ferocious black iron sword to suddenly change its trajectory, from slashing to slashing. Caught off guard, the black iron sword and [Blood Drinker Sword] collided with a 'clang'.
Lin Tian was greatly alarmed. The black iron sword was a heavy sword, how could the [Blood Drinker Sword] possibly be a match for a direct collision? He immediately gave up on the idea of changing the direction of his attack and unreservedly poured all of his strength into the [Blood Drinker Sword], preparing to take this attack head on.
But soon after, the force transmitted from the black iron sword once again exceeded Lin Tian's expectations. It was not the incomparably powerful force that he had expected, but instead an extremely gentle and sticky force.
Such a heavy sword was actually able to display the sticky force that only a soft sword could. This was simply against common sense. Before Lin Tian could think of anything else, the [Blood Drinker Sword] had already been completely sucked in by the black iron sword.
Lu Xuan no longer hesitated. The black iron sword ruthlessly swept out. When it was in mid-air, a force was suddenly released, instantly separating the black iron sword from the [Blood Drinker Sword]. Under the powerful inertia, the [Blood Drinker Sword], along with Lin Tian, was thrown out without any suspense.
If it was an ordinary person, this throw would definitely cause them to fall flat on their face and even cause internal injuries. Fortunately, Lin Tian was also extremely powerful. Through some unknown movement, he managed to quietly eliminate this extremely powerful inertia, and just like before, he once again turned into a fallen leaf and slowly fell to the ground.
Lu Xuan sheathed his sword and stood, while Lin Tian raised his sword in defense. The two had once again returned to the previous situation.
It seemed like they were evenly matched, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Lin Tian had already lost by one move. Just now, he had temporarily changed his force in mid-air and reversed the flow of Yuan Power. At this moment, his Qi and blood were most likely already in turmoil, and he might even have suffered some internal injuries.
The three elders on the stage were constantly nodding their heads. Elder Cheng stroked his beard and said with a faint smile, "Lin Tian's [Returning Wind and Falling Leaves] swordsmanship has been practiced to the extreme, and he has deeply grasped its essence. As swift as a gale, as slow as a falling leaf, it can be used both offensively and defensively. If not for the fact that Lu Xuan's force was too fierce and too fast, he might not have been at a disadvantage."
The [Returning Wind and Falling Leaves] swordsmanship, as the name suggested, was to treat oneself as a falling leaf in the wind. Like a falling leaf drifting in the wind, one would borrow the force to dodge and wait for an opportunity to attack. Without a doubt, Lin Tian had displayed the essence of this swordsmanship to its fullest.
When Elder Lin heard this, he laughed heartily, "There's no need to praise him. The [Returning Wind and Falling Leaves] swordsmanship is merely a mid-grade martial technique. Anyone can learn it to this extent if they spend some time. On the contrary, Lu Xuan has truly exceeded my expectations. I never imagined that he would be able to use the heavy sword to such an extent. Originally, I had wanted to have a good talk with him after this, and tell him to focus on practicing his swift sword and not be distracted. I never imagined that the heavy sword could display such might in his hands. This child's talent in the way of the sword is truly too shocking.
As soon as Elder Lin said this, Elder Cheng immediately nodded his head, "Your thoughts coincide with mine. It seems that Old Xu understands Lu Xuan the best. He knew that Lu Xuan would not do useless things. Although he only used three and a half moves, the essence of the heavy sword was displayed to its fullest. The first move was a clean sweep, without holding back. Although it was not bad, it was still ordinary. However, the following two and a half moves were something that even I am ashamed of myself. "
"Yes, that is indeed the case. The one and a half moves that changed from a reverse slash to a horizontal slash would not have been able to be executed so naturally without countless hours of hard practice. It was as if he had lifted something heavy as if it was light and had it at his fingertips. However, the most difficult was the last move. It was already not easy to turn hardness into softness, and it was even more difficult to use the heavy sword to execute softness. Furthermore, the hardness of his heavy sword had reached the pinnacle. However, when the two swords clashed, he was still able to change it so quickly. It was simply unbelievable!" Elder Lin was not stingy with his praise for Lu Xuan.
Although the battle between Lu Xuan and Lin Tian was extremely fast, and the disciples might have only seen the two of them exchange blows before they separated, the three great elders had sharp eyes and were able to clearly see the profoundness of the battle. In particular, the few moves that Lu Xuan had made that seemed simple had been thoroughly analyzed by them.
"Well done, Lu Xuan. I never thought that your mastery of the heavy sword would be so great. I almost suffered a great loss from you. It seems that the Returning Wind and Falling Leaves Sword Technique is unable to force you to use your true strength." Lin Tian took a deep breath and suppressed the surging Qi and blood in his body before speaking.
