"Boom!"
There was an explosion, and an almost visible fluctuation of Yuan Qi came from the point where the two swords collided. Even the disciples of the two sects who were very far away felt a strong wind blowing on their faces, and they couldn't help but mobilize their Yuan Qi to resist.
Both Lu Xuan and Elder He, who were fighting in person, shuddered. Such a direct clash of sword techniques depended on who was stronger and who was more able to withstand it.
Even though Lu Xuan was far superior to Elder He in terms of both sword will and martial arts techniques, he was still at a lower realm. There was a difference of three small realms between them. Even if the Taiyi Convergence Technique could make up for part of the difference, it would only guarantee that he would be on par with Elder He.
A powerful counterforce came, and the two were separated almost at the same time and flew out at the same time.
Lu Xuan only felt as if his chest had been hit hard, and he was secretly shocked. The Nine Star Alignment was really different. The five swords superimposed, which was equivalent to five martial artists in the Seventh Tier of Spirit Refinement Realm attacking him at the same time.
But at this moment, a gentle force suddenly emerged from Lu Xuan's four limbs and gathered at Lu Xuan's chest. A very comfortable feeling came, and Lu Xuan felt that his qi and blood were a little turbulent, but quickly calmed down, and the damage he suffered from this attack was greatly reduced.
It was the power of the IX Divine Rune!
The IX Divine Rune was mainly used for recovery and resistance. Although it was not as lethal as the Geng Jin Divine Rune and the Bing Huo Divine Rune and could not help Lu Xuan kill the enemy, it could also play a very strong role in battle. No matter how much damage was suffered, as long as it was not a fatal blow, the IX Divine Rune could quickly help the martial artist recover. The higher the star level of the Divine Rune, the stronger the recovery ability.
With the power provided by the IX Water Divine Rune, Lu Xuan suddenly ran the Wind-riding Technique, quickly stabilized his body that was flying backward, and tried his best to resolve the counterforce.
Lu Xuan floated to the ground, but Elder He was not as lucky as Lu Xuan. In the final moment of their clash, it seemed as if both of them had separated at the same time, but in fact, Lu Xuan had the upper hand. Because Lu Xuan's sword had successfully broken through Elder He's Nine Star Alignment, the remaining force of his sword had rushed straight towards Elder He's body. Therefore, Lu Xuan was only sent flying by the rebounding force, while Elder He was sent flying by Lu Xuan's attack.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Elder He's body fell heavily to the ground.
The disciples of the Nine Star Sword School turned pale with fright. They hastily stepped forward to help Elder He up. They never thought that this would be the result. This kid was actually so strong? How could he gain the upper hand in a head-on clash with Elder He?
"Scram!" Elder He angrily shook off the Nine Star Sword School disciples. His eyes were filled with anger and a trace of fear.
Wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, Elder He stared at Lu Xuan with a gloomy face. When he saw Lu Xuan land lightly on the ground as if nothing had happened, the fear in his heart grew stronger. He had suffered such a heavy injury, but this kid was completely fine? How was this possible? The Yuan Qi in his body was constantly surging, and he could not calm it down at all. If he were to forcefully attack, it was very likely that he would suffer irreparable internal injuries.
Moreover, Elder He was well aware of the power of his sword. Even if Lu Xuan managed to withstand it, he would not have an easy time. He believed that with Lu Xuan's strength at the fourth layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm, even if Lu Xuan's Yuan Qi was comparable to his, the toughness of Lu Xuan's body would definitely not be comparable to his. With such a strong rebounding force, Lu Xuan would definitely be injured no matter what.
But now, everything that appeared in front of him had completely subverted his understanding. A mere fourth layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm not only gained the upper hand in a head-on clash with him, but even the toughness of Lu Xuan's body was stronger than his.
Elder He stared at Lu Xuan and said, "Boy, I didn't expect this old man to have underestimated you."
"You've underestimated me a lot. I wonder if you still have the strength to fight now?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile on his face. With the Divine Rune of IX, he had no fear of fighting Elder He head-on.
"Don't go too far. I was just careless earlier. Since you have such strength, I won't pursue the matter of you killing my Nine Star Sword School's disciple. He can only blame himself for having bad luck and encountering you." Elder He finally admitted defeat. He did not have the confidence to continue fighting with Lu Xuan. If two more attacks like the one just now happened, he would definitely lose.
This time, the Nine Star Sword School's disciples did not say a word. Firstly, it was because the guy who caused trouble before had been killed by Lu Xuan. Secondly, it was because Lu Xuan's strength really scared them.
They had initially thought that Lu Xuan was just a slightly more powerful disciple at the Spirit Refinement Realm, and that he might have had some tricks up his sleeve. However, there was no way he could have been a match for Elder He. Now, however, it seemed that Lu Xuan was not only a match for Elder He, but had even been able to defeat him. Even if they were blind, they knew that this was not the time to anger Lu Xuan.
"Oh? You mean, you want to admit defeat, and then we go our separate ways? "Lu Xuan asked, pretending to be surprised.
Elder He's face turned red. He wanted to lose his temper, but he did not dare to. After a long while, he finally nodded, admitting that he had admitted defeat. He was a dignified Seven Star Sword School's Elder. Admitting defeat to a disciple was simply a disgrace to him. So, although he said so, he was thinking that when he returned, he must tell the other Elders about this. At that time, they would find an opportunity to kill Lu Xuan.
"Haha, I really didn't expect that you would admit defeat. Someone just said that all of us are going to die. Do you think I would be so stupid as to let you go and wait for you to call more people to kill me? " Lu Xuan sneered. He never showed mercy to those who deserved to die. Lin Xinyi had just made such a mistake.
"Then, are you determined to fight to the death with me?" Elder He said in an unfriendly tone. Being forced to this point, he really could not stand it anymore. Even if he could not kill Lu Xuan, he might not be able to catch up to him if he wanted to escape.
"I'll give you a chance. If you don't die after taking three moves from me, I will let you go. You can also take these disciples with you." Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows. He was also worried that this old man would run away. His strength could not be exposed for the time being, lest he was targeted by the Nine Star Sword School. Of course, Lu Xuan did not know that the people of the Nine Star Sword School had already known of his existence.
As soon as these words came out, the disciples of the Nine Star Sword School looked at Elder He as if they were grasping at a life-saving straw, hoping that Elder He would accept Lu Xuan's challenge. Otherwise, Elder He could walk away, but they would definitely become targets for Lu Xuan to vent his anger on.
Being stared at by the disciples like this, Elder He could not put down his old face. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Three moves it is. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
After saying that, he circulated his cultivation method and forcibly suppressed his surging blood and Qi. Although this would leave some internal injuries, at least it would not affect his strength for now. He could just go back and recuperate with some natural treasures.
