While Elder Sun and the others were talking, Longtai had just finished off the last warrior on the third floor. His speed was only slightly slower than Lu Xuan's. There was no suspense in the outcome of a battle between a fifth-layer and a third-layer.
However, Longtai's every move was a martial skill. Even though his speed was fast, his endurance was far inferior to Lu Xuan's.
Xia Ye's speed was not slow either. He and Longtai had almost finished off all the warriors on the third floor at the same time. To be called the second genius of Lin City, second only to Xia Chenxi, Xia Ye naturally had the capital to back it up. If not for Lu Xuan's sudden emergence, he and Longtai would definitely be fighting for first place in this examination.
The fourth floor!
The enemies that Lu Xuan faced this time were slightly different from the ones in the previous three floors.
The previous three floors were filled with warriors. However, in this floor, not only were there warriors, there were also fierce beasts.
In front of him were two fourth-layer Body Refinement warriors and two fourth-layer Ironback Rhinoceroses.
Compared to warriors, beasts were undoubtedly more difficult to deal with because their physiques were far superior to warriors. At the very least, it would be very difficult for Lu Xuan to instantly kill them.
With a roar, the two Ironback Rhinoceroses charged at Lu Xuan from the left and right. As they charged, they created a strong tremor. Even though they were inside the illusion array, Lu Xuan could still clearly feel the constant tremors on the ground.
Facing two people and two beasts at the same time, Lu Xuan did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. He was currently at the fourth-layer of Body Refinement. In terms of cultivation level, none of the four enemies in front of him were inferior to him.
Even though the Iron-backed Rhinoceros's body was huge, it possessed a speed that did not match its size at all. It swiftly charged in front of Lu Xuan and immediately extended the hard horn on its head to stab him. If struck, even a martial artist at the 5th level of the Body Refinement Realm would be directly pierced through.
Seeing that he was about to be stabbed, Lu Xuan let out a low growl and swept his sword horizontally. A bolt of lightning suddenly shot out and instantly streaked past the eyes of one of the Iron-backed Rhinos.
This precise slash actually slashed through the eyes of the Iron Back Rhinoceros!
"Roar!" The Iron Back Rhinoceros let out a loud roar as it was blinded by the piercing pain. It instantly went berserk and charged at Lu Xuan with all its might.
At that moment, Lu Xuan had already leaped high into the air, dodging the attacks of the two ferocious beasts with the help of the impact of his longsword striking the Ironback Rhinoceros.
But at this moment, the two warriors suddenly rushed out, jumped up, and attacked Lu Xuan at the same time with a sword and a saber.
At this moment, Lu Xuan's body was in the air, and there was no place for him to borrow strength from. Seeing the two attacks coming towards him, his eyes were filled with determination, and there was no trace of fear.
With a loud shout, Yuan Power instantly poured into the sword, and the Lightning Light Sword Art's eighth form was immediately activated!
A dazzling bolt of lightning instantly burst out, and following the movement of the sword, it drew a circular arc in the air, and the momentum was quite vast.
This sword swept past, and directly collided with the attacks of the two warriors.
Although Lu Xuan was at the fourth rank of Body Refinement, his strength was comparable to a normal peak fifth rank warrior. Through the activation of the Lightning Light Sword Art, his strength was even more formidable. Even if these two warriors joined forces, they were simply not his opponent. They were directly swept away by this sword and fell to the ground.
As the two of them landed on the ground, Lu Xuan did not give them a chance to adjust at all. He followed up with another attack. After he landed, he used another move of the Lightning Sword Technique. The dazzling lightning was so bright that people could not open their eyes, and it immediately enveloped the two warriors.
Raising a wave of Yuan Power, Lu Xuan's figure suddenly rushed forward, and like lightning, he rushed in front of the two warriors.
The Blink Sword Art appeared again!
Lu Xuan lashed out with two swords in an instant. There was no way to tell how Lu Xuan had attacked. By the time the sword light disappeared, the two warriors were already lying on the ground, motionless. They were breathing out, but not in. If one were to look closely, they would notice that there were two obvious bloody holes on their throats, with blood gushing out.
Two swords simultaneously, one sword cut the throat. Two warriors at the fourth rank of Body Refinement were directly killed by Lu Xuan!
After touching the threshold of sword intent, Lu Xuan's understanding of sword arts had undoubtedly become more profound. The same Blink Sword Art, now in the hands of Lu Xuan, its power was far greater than before the examination.
After finishing off the two warriors, the two Ironback Rhinoceroses had already turned back. The Ironback Rhinoceros that had been blinded by Lu Xuan was constantly bleeding, and it constantly roared, looking extremely crazy.
Lu Xuan coldly snorted, and instead of retreating, he directly went forward with his sword. They were just two thick-skinned idiots, nothing more, they were simply not a threat.
After tangling with these two Ironback Rhinoceroses, Lu Xuan took the opportunity to stab his sword into the neck of the Ironback Rhinoceros that was in perfect condition. With a ruthless pull, he suddenly tore open a huge wound, and blood unceasingly flowed out. Death was only a matter of time.
At this moment, in the open space outside the Sword Pagoda, a light suddenly flashed, and a warrior suddenly appeared. The jade card in his hand had already been shattered. Obviously, he could not withstand the pressure and had crushed the jade card to be teleported out.
However, he was only the beginning. Immediately after, another five lights flashed, and another five warriors could not withstand the pressure and were forced out of the examination.
A large portion of the warriors who participated in the examination this time only had the strength of the Third Level of Body Refinement Realm, and in the third level, they had to face the siege of three warriors of the same level. For these warriors with ordinary combat strength, it was extremely difficult to pass, and some of the warriors with extremely poor combat strength could not even pass the second level.
As soon as this group of warriors came out, immediately the deacons of the Wind Sword School came forward and took back the shattered jade cards in their hands. Although it was already shattered, it still recorded the warriors' results of this round of examination, and was used for the final ranking.
As for these warriors, several elders only glanced at them and no longer paid them any attention. Their eyes once again returned to the Sword Pagoda.
At this moment, the fifth level suddenly flashed, and immediately lit up.
"Someone has entered the fifth level, the show is about to begin..." Elder Xu slowly said with a sigh of relief. Although he was optimistic about Lu Xuan, it was an irrefutable fact that Longtai's strength was above Lu Xuan's. This round's outcome was unpredictable!
The Ninth Uncle and Elder Sun's faces also became dignified, and their eyes stared unblinkingly at the Sword Pagoda. The atmosphere was somewhat solemn. Even the warriors who had just been eliminated stopped talking at this time, and also paid attention to the situation in the Sword Pagoda.
At this moment, in the fifth level, Lu Xuan was holding a long sword and standing proudly. The one who had just broken through to the fifth level was naturally him!
Right now, Lu Xuan was taking advantage of the time to adjust his breathing. Although he had been unstoppable all the way, his consumption was not small, especially when he had to deal with the two Iron-backed Rhinoceroses on the fourth level, which had consumed nearly 30% of his Yuan Li. Fierce beasts had rough skin and thick flesh, and were indeed more annoying than warriors.
Perhaps this was the intention of the Sword Pagoda. Not only did it test the warriors' combat strength, but it also tested their endurance.
