The pressure suddenly came, the powerful aura almost made Lu Xuan unable to move. The sharp blade aura seemed like it was going to pierce into his flesh.
In the face of such pressure, not only did Lu Xuan not feel the slightest bit of fear, but he became even more excited. Every cell in his body trembled with excitement, and the bottleneck that had been blocking him for a long time suddenly loosened!
"Ha!" Lu Xuan roared, the middle stage sword intent burst out without holding back. The aura that Luo Ning gave off was instantly torn to pieces. Although the arena was still filled with boundless blade aura, the surroundings of Lu Xuan were once again under his control.
"Startling Wind!" With another loud shout, the Star Shattering Sword suddenly moved, and a gust of wind shot out, instantly stirring up the surrounding Yuanli and sweeping it forward. Lu Xuan knew that facing this attack from Luo Ning, it was not something that a mere Blink Sword Style could handle, unless he could also reach the tenth tier of the Body Refinement Realm.
The Startling Wind was unleashed, from the sea of blades created by Luo Ning, an extremely sharp longsword suddenly rushed out and with the momentum of this sword, the surrounding blade aura all turned into sword aura.
The arena that was controlled by Luo Ning was split into two, one half blade aura, the other half sword aura. The energy storm created by the Startling Wind quickly clashed with Luo Ning's blade aura.
In an instant, an even more violent energy storm came, but this energy storm was not controlled by Lu Xuan, nor was it controlled by Luo Ning, it was created by the clash of blades and swords.
All of the blade aura and sword aura were annihilated at this moment, the two collided and formed a shockwave that instantly reverberated towards Lu Xuan and Luo Ning.
Both of their bodies shook at the same time, under the huge force, they were both forced back three steps!
The first time they clashed, both sides were evenly matched!
The difference in strength between Luo Ning and Zhu Ling was obvious. One has to know that the Startling Wind from before not only broke Zhu Ling's Night Fighting Eight Directions, it also held back some energy. But now, it only managed to cancel out Luo Ning's attack.
"Awesome! There's still another move, Thunderclap. Make your move! " Luo Ning let out a hearty laugh. The moment his body stopped, he once again moved forward. He took three steps and returned to his original position. His legs suddenly exerted force and his entire body leaped high into the air. The long blade in his hand instantly turned into a two-handed grip and he brazenly chopped down!
This move was very similar to Zhu Ling's Knock the Mountain to Scare the Tiger, but it was much more powerful. Luo Ning released all of his Yuan Qi, and his blade intent that was close to the peak of the initial success stage was forcefully gathered by him. The Yuan Qi and blade intent combined, and the long blade in his hand seemed to suddenly grow longer. Suddenly, a blade light that was almost three meters long burst out, and it slashed towards Lu Xuan.
The disciples of Wind Sword School had never seen such a powerful attack. If they were to face this attack, they would not be able to lift their heads, not to mention withstanding it.
For a moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats. Some of the more timid female disciples even covered their eyes, not daring to look anymore. They were afraid of seeing Lu Xuan being cleaved in half by the blade. However, their strong curiosity drove them to open a few fingers and secretly watch the battle in the arena.
Elder Jin and the other two were indifferent. Although Luo Ning's attack was extremely powerful, they had also seen Lu Xuan's Thunderclap. Even if he was not a match for Luo Ning, his life would not be in danger.
Sensing the power of Luo Ning's attack, Lu Xuan felt even more pressure. The blood in his body boiled, and the bottleneck of breaking through to the ninth tier of the Body Refinement Realm loosened even more. It was as fragile as a thin membrane that only needed a gentle poke to pierce through. Lu Xuan had a feeling that after this battle, regardless of the outcome, he would definitely be able to break through!
While countless thoughts flashed through his mind, he did not slow down in the slightest. The moment Luo Ning leaped high into the air, he swung the Starshattering Sword in his hand as well. A familiar flash of lightning appeared. However, compared to the might that covered the entire arena before, it only covered half of the arena this time. That was because the other half was completely under Luo Ning's control. Compared to Zhu Ling, Luo Ning was indeed more powerful.
The lightning suddenly converged and condensed in an instant, and a thunderous sound rang out!
"Thunderclap!"
As Lu Xuan roared, the Thunderclap Sword, which had severely injured Zhu Ling, was unleashed once again. A massive thunderbolt with terrifying power charged straight at Luo Ning. Judging from its power alone, it seemed to be even more powerful than Luo Ning's blade of light.
Personally facing Lu Xuan's Thunderclap, compared to watching from below the stage, it was more direct, and one could feel the power of this attack, as well as the destructive power it contained.
Luo Ning, who was in the air, couldn't help but become excited. His entire body trembled, this was the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent!
"Ha!" Only to hear Luo Ning's roar, and the blade actually increased in size again!
Although the length did not increase, the thickness increased by more than double!
Because in that instant, Luo Ning had already completely opened up the spirit energy in his meridians. The spirit energy in seven meridians was much stronger than Zhu Ling's. At this moment, Luo Ning had already raised his strength to its strongest state!
In less than a split second, the huge saber radiance suddenly collided with the Thunderclap Sword!
"Boom!"
A deafening roar resounded. The saber radiance, which was more than ten feet long, struck the huge thunderbolt fiercely!
Under countless shocked gazes, the powerful lightning released by Lu Xuan's Thunderclap was directly split apart by Luo Ning! Split into two!
This Luo Ning was actually this powerful!
One had to know that when Lu Xuan fought Zhu Ling previously, he used the Thunderclap to not only break his third move, the Flood Dragon Stirring Waves, but also heavily injured him and sent him flying for almost 30 meters. But now, it was broken by Luo Ning!
However, even though Luo Ning managed to split that bolt of lightning apart, he had used up all of his power in that attack. The blade aura of more than three meters dissipated. It was apparent that he had used up all of his strength in order to break Lu Xuan's attack.
However, it was still too early to say it out loud!
Although the lightning that was split into two was weakened, it did not completely dissipate. Moreover, Luo Ning's blade completely destroyed the stability of the lightning.
Another loud bang resounded, and the berserk Thunderclap was completely detonated, and suddenly exploded in front of Luo Ning!
An incomparably powerful force attacked Luo Ning without holding back. Luo Ning's eyes flashed with a trace of shock. He did not expect this attack to be so powerful, and his blade was not able to completely destroy it.
Immediately, Luo Ning hurriedly swung his blade to offset part of the impact, but the other part still rushed towards his body. Under the attack of the huge force, Luo Ning flipped three times before landing on the ground. Although he was not injured, his breathing was chaotic, and he almost failed miserably.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, the powerful Thunderclap was still blocked by Luo Ning in the end. Compared to Zhu Ling's seriously injured state, it was countless times better.
However, at this moment, the hearts of the disciples of Wind Sword School were all in a tight knot. Senior Brother Lu's Thunderclap was already broken, what else could he use to stop Luo Ning?
Was he really going to lose?
No, no, Senior Brother Lu must still have a trump card!
Everyone had the same thought. They firmly believed that Lu Xuan would continue to win!
On the contrary, Peng Xu and Zhang Dongshuang, who were previously the most confident in Lu Xuan, were now the most worried. This was because they saw that Lu Xuan's strongest strength was only the Thunderclap, and they were not sure if he still had a trump card.
Elder Jin and Instructor Yang circulated their yuan qi, and were ready to go to save Luo Ning. Chen Mo's soul force seeped out of his body. As long as he willed it, he would immediately be able to draw several runes to protect Lu Xuan.
Seeing Luo Ning land on the ground, this time, Lu Xuan did not wait for him to make his move. Now, it was his turn to make the first move!
"Awesome, this is the last move, Senior Brother Luo, be careful!" Lu Xuan shouted, and the yuan qi in his body started to circulate crazily. He already felt that he was only a few millimeters away from the ninth rank of the Body Refinement Realm. Whether or not he could break through, it all depended on this sword!
Activating the Thunderclap at full force, in an instant, Lu Xuan's speed reached its limit, as if he had broken through the distance of space. Without any warning, he appeared less than ten feet away from Luo Ning!
Lu Xuan's speed caused Luo Ning's eyes to widen. He didn't even have time to adjust his breathing, and forcefully suppressed his chaotic breathing. He raised the long sword in front of his chest, waiting for Lu Xuan to make his move, and he would be able to react in an instant.
Not letting Luo Ning down, after stopping, Lu Xuan's wrist suddenly twisted, and the long sword stabbed out. Two words came out of his mouth!
"Startling Cloud!"
Lower Profound Level Startling Cloud Sword Art's strongest move, the combination of aura, power, and speed, the Startling Cloud Sword was finally displayed in front of the world!
Ever since he completely comprehended this sword in the cave, Lu Xuan had never used this Startling Cloud Sword again. This was because there was no enemy worthy of using this sword, not even Liu Tao, not even Zhu Ling, they were not worthy. But now, Luo Ning, who was in front of him, was worthy of seeing this sword!
When the sword stabbed out, it didn't have the powerful momentum of a gust of wind, it didn't have the gorgeous scene of a shocking cloud, it only had an indomitable will. This sword seemed to be able to pierce through everything, break through all obstacles, pierce through the sky, pierce through the clouds, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to be startled by it!
This, was the Startling Cloud Sword!
At this moment, it was as if time had stopped. Everyone's mouths, which had been tightly shut, slowly opened, and grew wider and wider. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
Elder Jin and the others, not only had their mouths wide open, but their eyes were also wide open. This sword, how breathtaking! How frightening was that! This definitely shouldn't have been done by a mere eighth rank Body Refinement warrior. Even if it was a Spirit Refinement warrior, they wouldn't be able to do this!
When the sword pierced through the air, Lu Xuan suddenly felt his mind relax, and everything became clear, as if he had never been this clear-headed before.
"Kacha!" The sound of an egg breaking rang out in Lu Xuan's mind. The bottleneck of the eighth rank Body Refinement Realm, had been broken through!
Lu Xuan's cultivation had finally increased, ninth rank Body Refinement Realm!
