The sword technique that Shi Hao used was known as the Ksitigarbha Sword Art. It was known for its sturdiness and stability. Even though it was wide and open, it was not as sharp as other sword techniques. On the other hand, the Startling Cloud Sword Art that Lu Xuan used was an especially sharp martial technique.
Seeing Shi Hao's sword slash at him, Lu Xuan's Startling Wind Sword had already been unleashed. With Lu Xuan's current strength, when he used the Startling Cloud Sword Technique again, its power was far greater than before.
A strong wind suddenly swept out and arrived in front of Shi Hao in an instant. Shi Hao only felt a powerful tearing force. The power of his own sword was directly destroyed by Lu Xuan's sword, and it seemed to be trying to tear the sword in his hand away.
He was greatly shocked and hurriedly circulated his yuan power to steadily hold the sword in his hand. For a swordsman, the sword was everything. If he was disarmed by Lu Xuan in a single move, it would be too humiliating.
However, this also made him treat this battle with Lu Xuan even more seriously. If it was said that he still had any doubts about Lu Xuan's strength before, then the doubts in Shi Hao's heart were now completely gone. A casual sword strike had such power, proving that Lu Xuan's strength was indeed not in vain.
Without waiting for Lu Xuan to launch an attack, Shi Hao attacked again. This time, he used all of his strength. After all, he was a fighter at the sixth level of the Spirit Refinement realm. Even though he had just broken through, his strength could not be underestimated. The power of this sword was even greater than before.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but nod inwardly. The Shi family's Earth Treasury Sword Technique was indeed not bad. Even though it wasn't sharp enough, it was more than stable. Without a powerful enough attack, it would be difficult to break through the opponent's attack. Fighting steadily and surely, in the end, the user would undoubtedly have a greater advantage.
However, this was only relative to fighters of the same level. How could an ordinary person compare to Lu Xuan? He immediately circulated his Taiyi power, and countless rays of lightning instantly covered his body. He looked like the son of a thunder god, mighty and extraordinary.
While studying the Ice Crystal Armor, Lu Xuan had already figured out some of the characteristics of the Taiyi Convergence Skill. It was able to mimic the powers of all types of elements. Naturally, there was no way he would use it on armor alone. Everything was about applying what he had learned and drawing inferences about other things from one instance. Since the power of Taiyi could mimic the powers of all types of elements to form elemental armor, it was only natural that it could mimic the powers of all types of elements and unleash different types of attacks.
The reason why most of the Profound Ice Pavilion disciples used ice martial skills was because their bodies contained the power of mysterious ice. However, Lu Xuan didn't have this restriction. The reason why the Startling Wind Sword he used just now was so powerful, using the power of a low-grade Profound Level martial skill to face the high-grade Profound Level martial skill Earth Treasury Sword Technique head-on, was because when Lu Xuan attacked, he had already converted the Taiyi power into the power of a hurricane, which greatly increased the power of the Startling Wind Sword Technique.
And now, what Lu Xuan used was the second move of the Startling Cloud Sword Technique, Startling Thunder. The Taiyi power naturally simulated the power of thunder. The Startling Thunder Sword Technique was already extremely spectacular, and its power was quite great. Now that it was used with the power of thunder, its power immediately increased by thirty percent.
With Lu Xuan at the center, the area within a radius of several zhang was filled with the radiance of lightning, making Shi Hao tremble with fear. He didn't know what kind of great move Lu Xuan was going to unleash. Humans were naturally filled with an innate fear towards things like lightning, and right now, Shi Hao was already scared before the battle even started.
In just an instant, the endless thunder gathered into a lightning sword, flickering with electricity that made people's hearts tremble.
Lu Xuan shouted loudly, "Startling Thunder!"
The lightning sword quickly pierced through the air, rushing straight at Shi Hao. Facing such a powerful attack from Lu Xuan, Shi Hao didn't dare to be careless. He originally used the Earth Treasury Sword Technique, but now he immediately canceled it. He didn't dare to face Lu Xuan head-on, so he quickly switched to another sword technique, the Immovable Sword Art!
Immovable Sword Art. Just from the name alone, one could tell that this was a pure defensive sword technique. No matter how you attack, I will remain unmoved like a mountain. An earthen yellow light rose, surrounding Shi Hao's body, forming a solid protective barrier.
Just when Shi Hao finished changing his technique, Lu Xuan's Startling Thunder Sword finally arrived. Shi Hao shouted loudly, and the longsword suddenly slashed down, colliding with Lu Xuan's lightning sword. In an instant, earthen yellow light and bluish-purple lightning erupted, and the power of both sides reached the extreme at this moment.
Beads of sweat immediately appeared on Shi Hao's face as he did everything he could to resist Lu Xuan's sword. However, at that moment, the lightning sword suddenly exploded with a loud bang. A tremendous force was transmitted, directly bouncing Shi Hao's longsword away. The powerful force blasted against the earthen barrier around Shi Hao's body.
The earthen yellow barrier only lasted for less than a breath of time, and then it exploded with a loud bang. The violent airflow immediately flipped Shi Hao's entire body. Shi Hao, who was bounced into the air, hurriedly used his origin energy to stabilize his body, and then floated down. Although he was in a somewhat sorry state, at least he was not injured.
Lu Xuan did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack. This was not a battle of life and death, but a battle of pointers. For better or for worse, Shi Hao was still a disciple of Su Chuanan's faction, so Lu Xuan naturally could not let him lose too badly. If Lu Xuan really wanted to end the battle quickly, whether it was the Dragon Transformation Seven Swords or the Phoenix Soaring Nine Heavens Sword Technique, he could easily defeat Shi Hao.
After stabilizing his body, Shi Hao was not in a hurry to admit defeat. Although he already knew that he would undoubtedly lose, it was only a spar, and he believed that Lu Xuan would not seriously injure him. If he left after two moves, it would be a bit embarrassing. At the very least, he had to endure one more move.
After calming himself down, Shi Hao smiled and said, "Senior brother Lu's strength is indeed extraordinary. I have lost this round, but I specialize in defense. Next, I want to use my most powerful move. Senior brother Lu, feel free to attack with all your strength."
"Big brother Shi is too kind. Please." Lu Xuan smiled. Since Shi Hao called him senior brother, then he would call Shi Hao big brother.
Shi Hao nodded and immediately brandished his longsword. At the same time, he said, "This is my family's inherited martial technique, the most powerful move of the Immovable Sword Art. It is called Immovable Mountain. Senior brother Lu, feel free to attack."
Shi Hao's face involuntarily flashed with a hint of pride when he spoke about what he was most proficient in. Defense was precisely what the Shi family was most proficient in. It might not be too useful in a one on one battle, but in a group battle, if there was a teammate who excelled in defense, it would greatly increase the chances of survival.
Although Shi Hao wanted him to attack with all his strength, Lu Xuan naturally would not use his most powerful move. It was still the Shocking Cloud Sword Art. However, it was the last move of the Shocking Cloud Sword Art, and also the most powerful move, Shocking Cloud!
Lu Xuan's mind immediately calmed down. He entered the state of Shocking Cloud. One sword shot ninety thousand li, startling all the clouds!
Shi Potian stared at Lu Xuan and his grandson. He knew how powerful his Immovable Mountain was, and he also wanted to see if Lu Xuan's sword could break it.
Right at that moment, Lu Xuan moved. He was as quiet as a virgin, but as fast as a rabbit!
The Shattered Ice Sword pierced out in an instant. Holding the sword and using the sword to carry the person, the man and the sword directly pounced forward at an extremely fast speed. The crowd only saw a blur in front of their eyes. In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan had arrived in front of Shi Hao, as if he had passed through space.
"Hah!" Shi Hao suddenly shouted. Holding the sword with both hands, he steadily blocked Lu Xuan's sword. However, Lu Xuan's power did not stop there. The enormous power was transmitted to Shi Hao's body in an instant. Even the longsword could not stop it.
The Shattered Ice Sword blocked Shi Hao's longsword. One attacked, one defended. Lu Xuan pushed Shi Hao forward continuously. Shi Hao groaned. He was already injured, but the sword in his hand did not move at all. He was still forcibly resisting.
When the two's power was about to be exhausted, Shi Hao finally could not hold the sword anymore. He was repelled by Lu Xuan's power. Lu Xuan held the Shattered Ice Sword in his hand, and steadily stopped three inches in front of Shi Hao.
A trace of blood seeped out from the corner of Shi Hao's mouth. He forced a smile and said, "Senior brother Lu's strength is truly admirable. I never thought that one sword would be so powerful."
To be honest, his own Immovable Mountain could not even block one of Lu Xuan's sword. This was quite a blow to Shi Hao. Moreover, he had also suffered some light injuries.
Lu Xuan withdrew his longsword and said with a smile, "Big brother Shi's move was also very powerful. My sword's charging ability is extremely powerful. To be able to weaken my attack to such an extent, it is indeed worthy of the name 'Immovable Mountain'."
Lu Xuan was also speaking the truth. Although the Startling Cloud Sword Technique was only a low-grade mysterious level sword technique, the Startling Cloud Sword's charging ability was indeed very powerful. Even the Dragon Transformation Seven Swords could not compare to it. Only the Dragon Soars in the Sky and the Proud Dragon Shows Remorse could compare.
Hearing Lu Xuan's words of comfort, Shi Hao felt a lot better. He reached out his hand to wipe away the blood at the corner of his mouth, and said straightforwardly, "Thank you senior brother Lu for teaching me. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."
His most powerful move was broken by Lu Xuan. Shi Hao naturally had no more complaints. After cupping his hands towards Lu Xuan, he returned to Shi Potian's side in a carefree manner.
"Haha, martial nephew Lu's strength is indeed superior. My unworthy grandson has no complaints about his defeat." Shi Potian stroked his beard and laughed. He already knew that Shi Hao would not be Lu Xuan's opponent. If Lu Xuan attacked with all his strength, Shi Hao might not even be able to withstand a single move. Now that Lu Xuan let Shi Hao withstand three moves, and even let Shi Hao use his most powerful move, he naturally approved of Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan's strength is not bad. Lu Xuan is the winner of this battle. Disciples, feel free to display your strength on the stage." Nangong Shuo lightly nodded. No matter how much he disliked Lu Xuan, since he was in charge of the overall situation, he still had to say these words.
With Shi Hao taking the lead, there was no need to explain too much. Su Chuanan's new direct disciples all went up to fight with Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan also practiced martial arts with them in a friendly manner. For Lu Xuan, this was naturally a bit boring, because these direct disciples on the stage were not his opponents at all. They were not even comparable to Shi Hao.
Lu Xuan did not use any other martial skills. He only used the Shocking Cloud Sword Technique over and over again. However, no matter what his opponent did, Lu Xuan always used three moves, leaving his opponent completely satisfied. Not only did he leave enough face, but he was also able to use his most powerful move.
"This Lu Xuan's strength is not that great. His martial skill doesn't seem to be very powerful, even inferior to Du Xiaomao's martial skill."
"We can only blame these new direct disciples for being too useless. They can't even take three moves."
"I think it might be an act. Su Chuanan deliberately let Lu Xuan win a few more rounds, so that he can fight against elder Nangong."
…
The old direct disciples were discussing in private. Lu Xuan's performance made them look down on him. They believed that if they were on the stage, they would not even need three moves. One move would be enough to defeat these new disciples.
