After witnessing Lu Xuan's explosive speed, Zhu Ling did not dare to open his mouth. He did not dare to relax at all. His entire body was at its peak. His best condition during the core disciple competition was probably no better than this. But now, he was only facing an inner sect disciple.
"Watch carefully, the third move is coming!" Lu Xuan still had the leisure to remind Zhu Ling. If one did not know, they would think that Lu Xuan was the core disciple and Zhu Ling was the inner sect disciple.
"This idiot, setting up a pact of three moves. Idiot, idiot!" Seeing this, Elder Gong could not help but curse. After cursing, he realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly shut his mouth and glanced at Elder Jin beside him.
Elder Jin was overjoyed and said, "Elder Gong, there is no need to be like this. This Zhu Ling's strength is not bad. With such speed at the tenth rank of the Body Refinement Realm, he might even be able to fight against a Spirit Refinement Realm cultivator in the mortal world."
"Hehe …" Elder Gong laughed dryly. Zhu Ling's speed was suppressed by Lu Xuan. Wasn't this a blatant compliment?
Elder Jin was in a great mood at the moment, as he had not expected Lu Xuan to perform so well. That speed alone was more than enough for him to be proud of. Even if he were to lose to Zhu Ling, it would not be shameful at all. Instead, it would be a great honor for him to be able to force a core disciple into such a state despite being an inner sect disciple. Even the Wind Sword Sect and the Sky Blade Sect had not produced such a genius disciple in the past 20 years.
As the two were talking, Lu Xuan had already begun his attack. His spiritual force and bloodline power were fully unleashed. His speed was already above Zhu Ling's. If he wanted to, he could attack Zhu Ling at any time. It was just that he was looking for the best time to strike.
Although Zhu Ling's Phantom Step was strong, it was not a real phantom. At best, it could only form a few afterimages. It was completely unable to confuse the opponent and could be seen through at a glance.
After a few flashes of lightning, Lu Xuan had completely dazzled Zhu Ling's eyes. Suddenly, Zhu Ling felt his vision blur. Lu Xuan's body suddenly disappeared!
For a moment, Zhu Ling was alarmed!
With a loud shout, he turned around without hesitation. His warrior's intuition told him that Lu Xuan had already flashed behind him.
Sure enough, the moment Zhu Ling turned around, he saw a snow-white longsword rapidly stabbing towards him. The sharp sword aura was almost about to cut through his skin.
Lu Xuan had finally found the most suitable time to strike.
Although Zhu Ling's reaction was fast, the time it took for him to turn around was enough for Lu Xuan to make his move. Facing Lu Xuan's swift attack, he had no chance of escaping. Not to mention the fact that he couldn't move his speed to the maximum in an instant, even if he did, with Lu Xuan's speed that surpassed his, it would be enough for him to stab his body.
"You forced my hand!" Zhu Ling's face flushed red. With a loud roar, he quickly raised the blade in his hand. In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, he swung his blade valiantly!
An attack that belonged to an expert at the tenth level of the Body Tempering Realm swept out without holding anything back. A tyrannical and berserk blade aura was released from his blade and instantly engulfed the surroundings, forming an extremely powerful blade aura whirlwind that instantly rushed towards Lu Xuan.
Although Zhu Ling had hurriedly executed this attack, his own strength was not reduced in the slightest. The tenth level of the Body Tempering Realm was not something that just anyone could block!
Facing Zhu Ling's attack, Lu Xuan was like a small boat in a raging storm. In an instant, he was about to be overturned and torn to pieces by the storm.
This attack was the strongest attack that Lu Xuan had faced so far. Among the opponents he had fought, the strongest was undoubtedly Liu Tao, who was at the peak of the tenth level of the Body Tempering Realm. But even Liu Tao was unable to execute such a powerful attack.
A powerful pressure came crashing down on him, and he felt all the muscles in his body trembling under the pressure. It was not out of fear, but out of excitement!
This kind of pressure was exactly what he needed. Only with enough pressure would he be able to quickly break through to the next level!
"Die!" Lu Xuan shouted. In an instant, an intermediate sword aura burst forth from his body without warning!
Although the speed of the originally extremely fast attack did not increase, its sharpness had increased by several times.
As his sword aura burst forth, although the small boat in the raging storm was still the same, it suddenly stabilized, as if an invisible barrier had been added to it. It was impossible to break through and tear it apart.
Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves!
That stunning sword attack broke through Zhu Ling's boundless blade aura and continued to charge at him without any hesitation. Even that extremely powerful blade attack was unable to stop Lu Xuan's attack.
However, at this moment, a similarly vigorous aura burst forth from Zhu Ling's body. In the face of Lu Xuan's pressure, he had finally unleashed his blade aura!
Zhu Ling's blade aura, which was at the tenth level of the Body Tempering Realm, was extremely powerful!
Although his blade aura was not as strong as Lu Xuan's intermediate sword aura, it was much stronger than Zhou Tong's and could compete with Mo Qiuchen's spear aura. Both of them were extremely condensed blade auras at the initial stage. It was clear that Zhu Ling had been comprehending blade aura for a long time.
Blade aura and sword aura collided. Although the blade aura was slightly inferior, Zhu Ling's strength surpassed Lu Xuan's sword aura. Both sides were evenly matched!
With a 'ding', the tip of the Star Shattering Sword struck Zhu Ling's blade. With the help of this force, Lu Xuan flipped his body and flew backwards, landing ten feet away from Zhu Ling.
As the two of them withdrew their attacks at the same time, the crowd of disciples below the stage finally reacted and shouted.
"The people of the Sky Blade Sect are really shameless. They went back on their words. Didn't they say that they wouldn't make a move within three moves?"
"That's right. Wasn't that an attack? Speaking like it was a fart. Is he still a core disciple? What a disgrace! "
"Haha, Senior Brother Lu is mighty. Beat them up. Those fellows who go back on their words!"
…
Sounds of ridicule could be heard. Zhu Ling's face alternated between red and white. He had no choice but to use that blade aura. If he had stubbornly refused to make a move, he wouldn't have been humiliated. Instead, he would have been injured and defeated!
However, no matter how he explained, he couldn't hide the fact that he had broken his promise. He had clearly said that he wouldn't make a move within three moves, but he had still made a move in the end. At least on this point, he had already lost.
"Idiot! Idiot!" Elder Gong was so angry that he was about to jump up and curse. This Zhu Ling had really disappointed him!
It was fine if he had made the promise of three moves. However, he had personally made the promise and then went back on it. Furthermore, it was a core disciple who went back on his word against an inner sect disciple. This time, Elder Gong and the Sky Blade Sect had lost all their face. If there was a hole in the ground, Elder Gong would really want to crawl into it. How could there be such an idiot among the core disciples?
"Hahaha! Good job, Lu Xuan! " Elder Jin laughed heartily without any scruples. He had personally spoken words of encouragement to Lu Xuan, which was simply to everyone's satisfaction!
Elder Gong ignored Elder Jin's ridicule and immediately sent a voice transmission to Zhu Ling, "I'll give you three moves to defeat Lu Xuan! Forget it, I don't want three moves. Ten moves. If you can't defeat him within ten moves, I'll make you pay when we return! "
Normally, Elder Gong wasn't someone who got angry easily. However, right now, thousands of people were watching. Zhu Ling represented the face of the Sky Blade Sect. How could he not be angry?
Hearing Elder Gong's voice transmission, Zhu Ling's face turned as red as a pig's liver. His hatred for Lu Xuan deepened. This brat actually pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger, causing him to fall into such a situation. Zhu Ling's heart was already filled with murderous intent!
Below the stage, the group of Sky Blade Sect's core disciples didn't look good either. As members of the Sky Blade Sect, the disciples of the Wind Sword School scolding Zhu Ling was no different from scolding them. They were bound together for good or bad.
Luo Ning, who had been paying attention to Lu Xuan before, now had a slight change in expression. He could clearly feel that Lu Xuan's strength had improved a lot compared to before. He didn't know why, but there was no doubt that his evaluation of Lu Xuan had improved.
However, in his opinion, this was as far as Lu Xuan could go. After all, Zhu Ling hadn't made a move because of the agreement. Once he made a move, Lu Xuan definitely wouldn't be a match for him.
"Good, very good! You're the only one who's able to force me to this extent. Even if you lose to me, you'll still feel honored! "Zhu Ling gnashed her teeth as she spoke viciously, as if she was about to devour someone.
However, Lu Xuan's expression was very good. He finally felt the pressure from Zhu Ling. This feeling was very good. He was sure that Zhu Ling might be able to help him break through.
"Senior Brother Zhu's strength isn't bad either. As expected, I feel pressured. However, the battle isn't over yet. It's not certain who will win or lose!" Lu Xuan said unhurriedly. He didn't hide his intention anymore. He not only wanted to use Zhu Ling to break through, he also wanted to defeat Zhu Ling here and now!
As soon as he said this, the disciples of Wind Sword School instantly screamed crazily. "Senior Brother Lu will win!"
"Isn't Senior Brother Lu a bit too much? Zhu Ling is the core of Sky Saber Sect. Isn't it too difficult to defeat him?" Some disciples voiced out their doubts.
"Yeah, Zhu Ling didn't make a move earlier, that's why he was suppressed by Senior Brother Lu. Next, he definitely won't hold back."
"That's not necessarily true. Previously, when Senior Brother Lu said that he could defeat Zhou Tong and Xu Wenyang, we didn't believe it either. However, in the end, he still defeated them. Now that Senior Brother Lu has made such a bold statement, I think it's really possible. Senior Brother Lu must have a trump card that we don't know about."
"That's right. I also think that Senior Brother Lu can win. Isn't it just a gap of two small realms? When Senior Brother Lu killed Xu Wenyang, it was also a gap of two small realms."
The disciples of Wind Sword School had different opinions. Some thought that Lu Xuan was boasting too much, while some supported Lu Xuan's victory. After a series of arguments, the voices gradually quieted down. The winner and loser would soon be revealed.
