The stunning move that Lu Xuan made just now was none other than the Blink Sword Style.
The Blinking Sword Art was still the original Blinking Sword Art, but the current Lu Xuan was much stronger than before. Whether it was the strength or speed of the sword, there was a substantial increase. With the peak of the eighth rank of the Body Refinement Realm, he was able to take the upper hand against the ninth rank of the Body Refinement Realm.
After repelling Zhou Tong with one strike, without waiting for Lu Xuan to continue, an incomparably sharp attack suddenly came from behind him. It was Yu Hao.
With two consecutive strikes, the sabre Qi went straight for Lu Xuan. Yu Hao's sabre was also quite fast, but compared to Lu Xuan's sword, there was still a large gap.
Sensing Yu Hao's attack, Lu Xuan did not continue to pursue Zhou Tong. His body flashed, lightly dodging Yu Hao's attack. Immediately after, Yuan Power suddenly surged, and the Blinking Sword Art was used again. The sword swept out, but this time, the target was changed to Yu Hao.
The Blinking Sword Art only talked about the concept of drawing the sword. Fast, fierce, accurate, and in the blink of an eye, whether it was a stab, a chop, or a cut, it was all harmless.
In reality, only low-level martial skills focused on the moves. On the contrary, the higher the level of martial skills, the more emphasis was placed on the intent, and not rigidly on the moves.
For example, the Lightning Sword Art was only a low-level Yellow Level martial skill. Every move and every move had a fixed usage. But the Blinking Sword Art, as a high-level Yellow Level martial skill, began to abandon the moves. As for Profound Level martial skills, such as the Startling Cloud Sword Art, it was completely infused with the concept of intent. Even if there was no sword in hand, as long as your intent was there, you could still kill the enemy.
Precisely because of this, the higher the level of martial skills, the harder it was to block. Because it did not even have a move, how could you block it? If you wanted to break the opponent's attack, you had to break the opponent's intent, or use absolute strength to crush it.
Facing Lu Xuan's extremely fast and powerful attack, Yu Hao's two sabre strikes were instantly broken. The sword Qi instantly attacked, and even though there was a distance between them, it made people feel like their skin was about to be cut.
At this moment, Yu Hao finally felt Zhou Tong's previous situation. Too fast, too strong!
He felt as if he had just launched his attack and Lu Xuan's counterattack had already arrived. He didn't even have time to react. Zhou Tong could forcefully block this sword with his strength of the 9th level of Body Refinement, but Yu Hao couldn't compare to Zhou Tong in terms of strength or blade intent. How could he block it?
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, Zhou Tong, who was already injured, glared angrily when he saw that Hao was in a dangerous situation. He shouted, "Stop!"
As the voice rang out, Zhou Tong forcefully suppressed his injuries and charged forward in an instant, slashing at Lu Xuan with his saber. He wanted to attack the enemy's vital spot and force Lu Xuan to withdraw his attack.
At the same time, Yu Hao also forcefully waved the sabre in his hand in an attempt to defend, but he was still a step too late. Lu Xuan's attack was much faster than both of them, not to mention that he was one step ahead of them.
A powerful force suddenly crashed into Yu Hao's body and instantly invaded his body. Yu Hao couldn't stand anymore. Blood spurted out of his mouth as he retreated to the edge of the ring. He quickly slashed the ground with his sabre, and only then was he able to stop his body. He almost ended up like Zhang Qing and was directly thrown out of the ring.
But even so, he was still seriously injured. The Yuan Power in his body was chaotic, and he couldn't attack at all.
Fortunately, his strength wasn't weak. His internal organs had already been refined, so he wouldn't lose his life. He should be thankful that Lu Xuan didn't use sword intent in that attack. If he was invaded by Lu Xuan's intermediate sword intent, his injuries would probably worsen, and he might even die on the spot.
Seeing Yu Hao's situation, Sky Blade Gate's Elder Gong couldn't help but take two steps forward. His eyes were gloomy. The three people who came here this time — Zhang Qing, Yu Hao, and Zhou Tong — were all candidates to become core disciples. It would be a great pity if anything happened to them.
More importantly, this result was completely out of his expectations!
In his opinion, if Yu Hao and Zhou Tong joined forces, even if they couldn't defeat Lu Xuan, they could at least be evenly matched. Previously, when Zhou Tong was completely suppressed by Lu Xuan, he already had a bad premonition. But after Yu Hao joined, it seemed like the situation was reversed. He didn't expect that after Lu Xuan changed a set of martial skills, the two of them together were no longer a match for Lu Xuan. With just two moves, one of them was lightly injured, and the other was seriously injured.
Now that Yu Hao was seriously injured and had lost his ability to fight, Zhou Tong alone couldn't do anything. Defeat was almost inevitable.
When Yu Hao was severely injured by Lu Xuan's sword, the expressions of the spectating disciples from the Sky Blade Sect changed slightly. Lu Xuan's strength had once again exceeded their expectations for Yu Hao and Yu Hao to be able to achieve such a result despite their joint attacks.
"This Lu Xuan is a little interesting. Don't forget, he didn't use sword intent. He could defeat Zhou Tong and Zhou Tong with his own strength. I'm afraid he will be a strong opponent in the future." Among the Sky Blade Gate's core disciples, a person in white clothes said.
When Lu Xuan defeated Zhang Qing, they all saw Lu Xuan's sword intent. However, when he fought against Zhou Tong and Zhou Tong, he didn't use it. Obviously, he was still hiding his trump card.
"Senior Brother Luo must be joking. No matter how strong he is, how can he defeat Senior Brother Luo? How can he be a strong opponent?" A disciple said respectfully.
A smile appeared on Senior Brother Luo's face when he heard Lu Xuan's words. It was obvious that he was in a good mood. In fact, he did not take Lu Xuan seriously. He was a core disciple of the Sky Blade Sect. How could he treat an inner sect disciple as an enemy?
"I'm only saying that if he can keep this up, he may become a strong opponent in the future. I'm not talking about now. I can see that his strength is at the peak of the eighth layer of the Body Refinement Realm. If I'm not wrong, he wants to use this opportunity to make a breakthrough and use Zhou Tong and Zhou Tong as a whetstone." Senior Brother Luo said again.
"Luo Ning, you really have the mood to pay attention to these inner sect disciples' fights. Even if it's the first or second place in the inner sect, they are nothing in the core disciples' fights. What's there to watch?" Not far from Luo Ning, a disciple sitting cross-legged said lazily. He was obviously one of the Sky Blade Gate core disciples. His tone was filled with disdain towards the inner sect disciples.
As a core disciple, they had the qualifications to be arrogant. Furthermore, they weren't ordinary core disciples, but the top few within the core disciples. Compared to these inner sect disciples, their statuses were worlds apart. Even if Zhou Tong was standing in front of them, he would still have to obediently and respectfully call him senior brother.
Hearing this, Luo Ning smiled and said: "Since I have nothing to do, I might as well watch these little guys fight. Moreover, that Lu Xuan does have the qualifications to pay attention to him. Who knows, we might have the chance to meet him again in the future. However, looking at the situation, I'm afraid that our Sky Blade Gate will lose the inner sect competition."
When the meditating disciple heard this, he said indifferently, "If we lose, so be it. After all, there is no benefit to winning. The key to this challenge is still us core disciples. As long as we can win, our Heavenly Saber Gate will be able to gain a few more spots to enter the secret realm."
Hearing him mention the spots to enter the secret realm, Luo Ning's heart couldn't help but become excited. This time, they came to challenge for the spots to enter the secret realm. Once they successfully defeat Wind Sword School, the Profound Ice Pavilion's spots would definitely decrease, while their Sky Blade Gate's spots would increase. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come here for nothing.
"That's not bad. However, this time, with Senior Brother Wei here, we will definitely win the core disciple competition." Saying this, the corner of Luo Ning's mouth curled up into a smile. He looked at the black-clothed disciple at the side. This person was the Senior Brother Wei that he mentioned.
At this moment, Senior Brother Wei didn't care about the two's words at all. He only sat cross-legged and focused on cultivating. His strength was the strongest among the disciples. He had already reached the Spirit Refinement Realm. He was also the only Spirit Refinement Realm expert here. The competition between the Sky Blade Gate and Wind Sword School's inner sect disciples was nothing to him.
"Senior Brother Wei is really hardworking. No wonder he could reach the Spirit Refinement Realm so quickly. We need to work hard too." The disciple who spoke to Luo Ning looked at Senior Brother Wei with eyes full of respect. To all the Sky Blade Gate's core disciples, Senior Brother Wei was their leader.
While Luo Ning and the others were talking, on the stage, Lu Xuan had already gained the upper hand. Previously, when he only used the Lightning Sword Technique, he was able to fight evenly with Zhou Tong and Yu Hao. Now that he used the Blink Sword Technique, defeating the two of them was not a problem at all.
Following Yu Hao's heavy injury, Zhou Tong's heart trembled. He tightly grasped the long saber in front of his chest, guarding against Lu Xuan's attack at all times.
The sword just now made him understand how strong Lu Xuan was. If Yu Hao didn't make a move in time and didn't give Lu Xuan a chance to chase after him, he would have already been defeated.
Now that Yu Hao was heavily injured, he could no longer make a move. From now on, he could only face Zhou Tong alone.
Looking at Zhou Tong, Lu Xuan still had a smile on his face, "Do you want to admit defeat yourself, or do you want me to kick you off the stage?"
Although there was a smile on his face, Lu Xuan felt some regret in his heart. The pressure brought by Zhou Tong and Yu Hao wasn't enough. In the end, he still wasn't able to break through to the 9th layer of the Body Refinement Realm.
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Zhou Tong's face turned red. He had never been looked down upon like this before. Thinking back to the harsh words he said before, he felt even more ashamed.
However, he was not as skilled as Lu Xuan. No matter how unwilling he was, he had no way of retorting.
"You want me to admit defeat? Dream on!" Gritting his teeth, Zhou Tong quickly rushed forward. Even if he lost, it was better than admitting defeat. He had already lost enough face, he still had to save the last bit of it.
