Compared to Elder Jin, Elder Gong was frowning slightly. He had thought that Lu Xuan would definitely be defeated by Zhu Ling's move. However, he was only lightly injured. Wasn't this kid's endurance a little too strong?
However, Lu Xuan's injury was good news. From Elder Gong's point of view, Lu Xuan's strength would stop here. Since he was already injured in the first move, he would definitely not be able to handle the next two moves.
"You are indeed a core disciple. This move is powerful!" Lu Xuan said as he wiped the blood from his mouth. Although he was slightly injured, his eyes did not lose focus. Instead, they were becoming more and more courageous.
At this moment, after Zhu Ling quickly adjusted her breathing, her chaotic inner breath had also calmed down. When she heard Lu Xuan's words, she snorted coldly again and said, "Your strength has somewhat exceeded my expectations. For a mere inner sect disciple to be able to reach this level is indeed impressive. However, that's all there is to it. I will definitely defeat you in the next move!"
Zhu Ling's words were filled with confidence. After this move, he thought that he had completely grasped Lu Xuan's strength.
"Don't be so full of yourself. Since you managed to injure me, then you will be able to see my true strength." Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows. His aura was not any weaker than Zhu Ling's. As his fighting spirit surged, the pride in his heart was also stimulated.
As soon as these words came out, the disciples below the stage immediately revealed looks of surprise and bewilderment. Could it be that Lu Xuan had not shown his true strength even at this point in the battle? That would be too terrifying. Some were looking forward to it, and some were doubtful.
"Hero Lu, are you finally going to use those two moves? Maybe you really have a chance to defeat Zhu Ling! " Peng Xu licked his lips and said excitedly. Defeating a core disciple of the Sky Saber Sect was a great honor!
He was fortunate enough to see Lu Xuan's Cloud Startling Sword Art once at the Zhang Clan. When he fought against Liu Tao, Lu Xuan used it as well. Although Zhu Ling was stronger than Liu Tao, when Lu Xuan defeated Liu Tao, he did not use his sword intent. If he used his sword intent, there was a chance that he could defeat Zhu Ling.
"Oh? Does Lu Xuan really have a trump card? " Ninth Uncle couldn't help but turn his head and ask. He had originally thought that Lu Xuan would stop here, but according to Peng Xu's words, it seemed that Lu Xuan still had strength that he hadn't shown.
"Hehe, Senior, please take a look. Young Hero Lu won't disappoint us." Faced with Ninth Uncle's question, Peng Xu kept him in suspense and refused to answer.
"Haha, then I'll wait and see. Let's see what other surprises this kid can bring me!" Ninth Uncle's interest was immediately aroused.
Zhu Ling's eyes also flashed with a trace of bewilderment, but it disappeared in a flash. He didn't believe Lu Xuan's words at all. From his point of view, Lu Xuan was only at the 8th layer of the Body Refinement Stage, yet he was able to display such a battle prowess, it was already extremely shocking. If Lu Xuan still had a trump card, he definitely wouldn't believe it.
"Less nonsense, get ready to receive my attack!" Zhu Ling didn't delay any longer. Taking advantage of Lu Xuan's injury, this was an excellent opportunity to defeat him. While he was injured, take his life!
As soon as his voice fell, Zhu Ling didn't stay any longer. He once again urged his Yuan Power, and the second attack, began!
It was still the same Phantom Steps, and once again, he rushed towards Lu Xuan. Body Refinement Stage martial artists temporarily couldn't mobilize the Yuan Power of Heaven and Earth on a large scale, so the battle was still based on close combat.
Seeing Zhu Ling's attack, Lu Xuan's expression turned cold. Sword intent surrounded his whole body, and the Yuan Power in his body began to circulate according to a specific path …
With the protection of the powerful bloodline, his injuries were not as serious as Zhu Ling and the others imagined. In addition, with the powerful recovery ability of the Azure Dragon bloodline, he had already recovered by 70-80%, and it didn't have much of an impact on him.
Perhaps it was because of the victory in the first confrontation, Zhu Ling's confidence greatly increased, and even his condition improved a lot. This time, the speed of his attack was even faster, leaving behind a few phantoms. Almost in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Lu Xuan.
"Second move, Night Battle in Eight Directions!" Zhu Ling said word by word, clearly entering everyone's ears. The first word was already spoken when he used the Phantom Steps, and when the last word fell, it was the time when he officially launched his attack!
At this moment, Zhu Ling's speed suddenly increased, and at this moment, even Lu Xuan couldn't see his movements clearly.
In an instant, Zhu Ling's body suddenly turned into eight, as if eight Zhu Ling had appeared in front of Lu Xuan at the same time, and all eight of them attacked Lu Xuan at the same time.
Among the eight figures, other than the original Zhu Ling in front of Lu Xuan, the other seven were naturally phantoms. However, although they were phantoms, the eight attacks were real!
This was because in that instant, Zhu Ling used the Phantom Steps to quickly change his position, and in one breath, he slashed out eight times. Because the speed was too fast, the eight slashes were almost at the same time, and it looked like Zhu Ling directly created eight phantoms to attack at the same time.
This was the special effect of the Phantom Steps when practiced to the great success stage, and it was almost the same effect as the Thunder Rush, but it didn't have the same continuity.
Just from this point, it could be seen that the Phantom Steps was better than the Thunder Rush, and in fact, it was indeed so, because the Phantom Steps was a Yellow Tier Superior Grade Martial Skill, and the Thunder Rush was only a Yellow Tier Intermediate Grade Martial Skill.
The combination of the Phantom Steps and the Night Fighting Eight Directions was almost a perfect match. These eight slashes, each of them displayed Zhu Ling's strongest strength. Although the power of each attack couldn't be compared to the previous Knocking the Mountain Tiger, it won in terms of quantity. As long as any one of them couldn't be blocked, it would inevitably end with serious injuries, and if a few more of them couldn't be blocked, then perhaps it wouldn't be as simple as a serious injury.
And this was also the reason why Zhu Ling dared to say that this move of Lu Xuan would definitely lose. He admitted that Lu Xuan's strength was not bad, and even the speed of his attacks was not bad, but he absolutely didn't believe that Lu Xuan could instantly use eight slashes at the same time, and each slash had the same strength as his.
Lu Xuan indeed didn't have this kind of strength. Although by relying on the Blink Sword Art, it wasn't impossible to instantly use eight slashes, but to want to match the power of Zhu Ling's eight slashes was not realistic, unless Lu Xuan also had the strength of the 10th Body Refinement Rank.
However, why did Lu Xuan need to use eight slashes to block? As long as the range of the attack was small, and the power displayed was strong enough, then one slash would be enough!
As early as the moment Zhu Ling launched his attack, the slowly circulating spirit energy in Lu Xuan's body had already suddenly become fast. The long sword that was hanging down suddenly rose up, and a gust of wind, accompanied by Lu Xuan's movement, suddenly appeared.
This gust of wind, with Lu Xuan's long sword as the center, quickly spread out. In almost an instant, it filled a radius of several tens of feet.
This wasn't an ordinary wind, but a storm formed by spirit energy. Originally, with Lu Xuan's strength, it was absolutely impossible to mobilize spirit energy in such a large area, but now, he was using a Profound Level martial technique!
The difference in the level of the martial technique could completely make up for the difference in strength to a certain extent!
Having just finished executing the Night Fighting Eight Directions, Zhu Ling's strength was also used to the extreme. His body landed firmly on the ground, waiting to enjoy the scene of Lu Xuan being seriously injured and defeated, but when he lifted his head to look, he was greatly shocked!
The aura released from Lu Xuan's body was far stronger than he had imagined. This was not the aura that a martial artist at the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm should be able to release! Moreover, how could the power of this move be so great? Even a half-step Soul Refinement expert might not be able to release such a powerful attack!
The two people's moves only happened in an instant, and Zhu Ling didn't even have time to look carefully. Following the eight rays of sword qi shooting out, Lu Xuan's attack had also been completely released.
Only to see Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly become sharp, and he shouted in a low voice: "Startling Wind!"
Once the two words "Startling Wind" came out, the sword in Lu Xuan's hand suddenly waved, and under this wave, the spirit energy storm that surrounded Lu Xuan's body, as if it had been really startled, instantly jumped from a nearly still state to a berserk state!
The surging spirit energy suddenly swept out, and countless gusts of wind rushed forward. At the same time, the sword intent that surrounded Lu Xuan's body also merged into this spirit energy storm, causing the originally extremely strong Startling Wind to become even more unstoppable!
The sword of Startling Wind instantly collided with Zhu Ling's Night Fighting Eight Directions. This spirit energy storm completely enveloped Zhu Ling's eight swords, and with an unparalleled aura, it directly crushed them!
This was a crushing!
As the first form of the Cloud Startling Sword Technique, Startling Wind was all about momentum. If the opponent's strength did not surpass his own, he would only be crushed by this sword of Startling Wind!
The Night Battle of Eight Directions was completely nullified by that one attack. The eight blades that Zhu Ling was so proud of did not have the desired effect at all. They did not cause Lu Xuan any trouble at all.
Although Night Fighting Eight Directions had reduced the power of Startling Wind by more than half, the power of this spirit energy storm was still extremely strong, and at this moment, it continued to sweep towards Zhu Ling without any reservation. Based on Zhu Ling's body, it was impossible for him to take it head-on. The biggest possibility was that he would be seriously injured by this sword of Startling Wind, or even directly knocked off the stage by the powerful momentum of the spirit energy storm!
Zhu Ling had not yet reacted when among the spectators, Elder Jin, Elder Gong, Instructor Yang, Chen Mo, and Ninth Uncle, the five of them almost simultaneously slammed the table and stood up!
The five of them exclaimed in unison, "Xuan Level Martial Skill!"
Among the Sky Blade Sect disciples, Senior Wei, who had been resting with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes at this moment. His gaze was instantly focused on the stage, and he looked at Lu Xuan's Startling Wind!
These six people, without exception, were all strong practitioners of the Spirit Refinement Stage!
Ordinary disciples might only be able to sense the power of Lu Xuan's attack, but the six of them could clearly see the essence of this move. It was undoubtedly a Xuan Level Martial Skill!
"Not only is it a Xuan Level Martial Skill, he has also completely mastered this move, which is why he has such power!" Instructor Yang quickly added, his face could not help but reveal a shocked expression.
Although Xuan Level Martial Skills were rare, there were also a few in the core of the Wind Sword School. What shocked everyone the most was that Lu Xuan had completely mastered this Xuan Level Martial Skill with the strength of the 8th Body Refinement Stage. What kind of comprehension and talent did this require!
