Yang Wang did not hold back at all in that attack, as he had truly felt the power of that attack from Lu Xuan. If he did not go all out, it would have been hard to say if he would have been able to block that attack. There was no way he would have allowed something like that to happen. If Lu Xuan were to defeat him without even drawing his sword, how would he be able to face himself in the future?
Lu Xuan's Sword Essence at its peak was indeed powerful. Sword Essence itself was illusory, but at this moment, it was almost tangible in his hands. With a crisp sound, Yang Wang's blade struck the dragon's head, and sparks flew everywhere. It was as if he had not struck a Sword Essence dragon, but a giant dragon made of pure steel.
Facing Yang Wang's fierce attack, the Sword Essence dragon's forward momentum was slightly hindered, but it could not completely stop it.
Yang Wang could not help but curse in his heart. This Lu Xuan was actually so powerful that even one Sword Essence was so powerful. Previously, he had made up his mind to defeat Lu Xuan without unsheathing his blade. He did not expect that not only had his blade been unsheathed, but his attack was also unable to resolve Lu Xuan's casual attack.
However, Yang Wang could not care so much now. In the blink of an eye, he struck three more times. The snow-white long blade turned into a phantom, and the three strikes hit the dragon's head almost at the same time.
Lu Xuan could not help but nod slightly. Yang Wang's blade skills were really good, and it could be seen that his basic skills were very solid.
After receiving the power of Yang Wang's four strikes, the Sword Essence dragon finally collapsed completely and instantly disappeared in the air. Yang Wang was in a somewhat embarrassing situation at this moment. He was originally in the middle of the hall, but he was forced to move almost ten feet away by Lu Xuan's Sword Essence. His chest was heaving up and down, and it was obvious that his aura was somewhat chaotic.
After the exchange, the hall was silent. Everyone could see that in the battle between Lu Xuan and Yang Wang, Lu Xuan had the absolute advantage. Other than a few new direct disciples who had seen the battle between Lu Xuan and Han Feng, most of the people present had not seen Lu Xuan's true strength. This time, Lu Xuan's first attack had shocked everyone. He stood still and suppressed Yang Wang to such an extent with just one Sword Essence.
As Yang Wang's teacher, Wei Zhengyang's expression was the worst of the lot. He had hoped that Yang Wang would be able to defeat Lu Xuan easily and come out on top, which would have made him look good as well. However, things did not turn out as he had expected.
This could not be blamed on Yang Wang. It was not that he was weak, but Lu Xuan was too strong.
"Good! What a great Sword Essence Dragon! " There was a sudden clap, followed by Su Chuanan's loud laughter. He was the one cheering for Lu Xuan. Su Chuanan already knew that Lu Xuan's strength was extraordinary, but he didn't expect Lu Xuan to be able to force Yang Wang to such an extent. It was truly satisfying.
"Lu Xuan, your sword intent has probably entered the pinnacle stage, right?" Su Chuanan smiled as he looked at Lu Xuan and asked. He didn't seem to care about the ugly expression of the Nangong Shuo's faction's elder.
"Elder Su's eyes are indeed extraordinary." Lu Xuan complimented, obviously acknowledging Su Chuanan's words. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. Sword intent materialization was something only a pinnacle stage sword intent could achieve.
"You are indeed a sword dao prodigy. This old one only realized the pinnacle stage sword intent when I was at the sixth level of the Origin Realm. I didn't expect you to reach the sixth level of the Origin Realm when you are only at the fifth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm." Su Chuanan praised sincerely. Lu Xuan was one realm ahead of him in comprehending the pinnacle stage sword intent. Su Chuanan couldn't help but praise him.
Finishing his statement, Su Chuanan smiled at Zhao Ying and said, "I have to congratulate Elder Zhao. You actually accepted such a talented disciple like Lu Xuan. No wonder Elder Zhao made an exception to recruit another disciple. Even this old one can't help but be jealous."
This was the truth. Su Chuanan was indeed jealous. If he could accept Lu Xuan as his disciple, his chances of competing for the Pavilion Head position would be much higher.
Zhao Ying revealed a rare smile and said, "He isn't here for me. He is here for Bing-er."
Su Chuanan was slightly surprised, but he immediately laughed out loud, "A talented man and a beautiful woman. I think Lu Xuan and Bing-er are a match made in heaven."
Zhao Bing-er didn't expect Zhao Ying to admit her relationship with Lu Xuan on such an occasion. She, who had always been calm, couldn't help but reveal a trace of embarrassment. Her face flashed with a trace of crimson.
Su Chuanan was even happier. Zhao Ying's words undoubtedly meant that she was standing on the opposite side of Nangong Shuo.
In fact, ever since Leng Qingqiu sent people to kill Zhao Bing-er, Zhao Ying was already destined to be enemies with Nangong Shuo. Zhao Ying regarded Zhao Bing-er as her own woman. Leng Qingqiu actually dared to bully Zhao Bing-er when she was not around. How could Zhao Ying not be angry?
The reason why she made an exception to recruit disciples again was because of the impact of this incident. She did not want Zhao Binger to be wronged again when she was not in the sect. Although Zhao Binger was not weak, warriors often went out to explore, especially in all kinds of dangerous secret realms, and there was often the risk of death. Therefore, Zhao Ying hoped that Zhao Binger also had people around her who could help her. Because of this, she accepted Lu Xuan and Du Xiaomao as her disciples. Even if something happened to her, Zhao Binger would have a few helpers, unlike last time when she was alone without anyone to help her.
Listening to Su Chuanan and Zhao Ying echo each other, there were many unhappy people in the hall. None of the people from Nangong Shuo's faction were happy, especially Leng Qingqiu. When he saw Zhao Bing-er's embarrassed appearance, the jealousy in his heart burned even brighter. He clenched his fists tightly, wishing that he could directly rush up and strangle Lu Xuan to death.
Other than Leng Qingqiu, the other person who felt even more uncomfortable was Yang Wang. His battle with Lu Xuan hadn't ended yet, but everyone had already completely ignored his existence. This was truly unbearable for him. However, when an elder was speaking, how could he have the right to interrupt?
Fortunately, at this moment, Nangong Shuo finally spoke. He coughed and said, "This martial arts practice isn't over yet. It won't be too late to discuss it later."
Hearing this, Yang Wang couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Nangong Shuo. Finally, there was someone who remembered him.
However, Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, it's going to be over soon."
Nangong Shuo was slightly startled, and then he felt a little annoyed. Was Lu Xuan openly challenging him?
The one who was even more annoyed was Yang Wang. Even if he was caught off guard by Lu Xuan just now, there was no need to look down on him like this, right? Did he really think that he was made of clay?
Thinking of this, Yang Wang no longer hesitated. Since his blade was unsheathed, he would display his strength. He urgently needed to prove himself!
With a flash of the blade, Yang Wang instantly raised his speed to the limit. At the same time, his blade intent that had already reached the middle stage erupted. Although his blade intent was far from Lu Xuan's, it was still able to greatly increase his strength.
The distance of ten feet was instantly crossed by Yang Wang. Together with his blade, he fiercely pounced towards Lu Xuan. Countless blade lights swirled in the air. In this instant, he consecutively slashed out more than ten times. Every slash was so sharp that it was as if he had a grudge against Lu Xuan for killing his father and stealing his wife. He was determined to chop Lu Xuan into pieces.
Lu Xuan did not panic in the slightest in the face of such a ferocious attack from Yang Wang. An attack of such a level was nothing to him. He had already said that the battle would end on the horse, so it was only natural for him to defeat Yang Wang with one move.
Lu Xuan finally raised the sword in his hand. It was the same move, but having a sword in one's hand was completely different from not having a sword in one's hand. The profound meaning of the peak stage of sword intent was to have a sword in one's hand!
This had already reached the state of returning to the original state of sword intent. Since he was using a sword, he naturally needed a sword. Not only did he need a sword in his heart, but he also needed a sword in his hand. Yang Wang's mere middle stage blade intent was undoubtedly child's play in Lu Xuan's eyes.
The power of the peak stage of sword intent quietly covered Lu Xuan's Shattered Ice Sword. The power of the Azure Dragon's bloodline was still boiling. It was still the same move as before, the Proud Dragon's Remorse of the Dragon Transformation Seven Swords. However, the power that Lu Xuan used at this moment was completely incomparable to before.
The body of the sword trembled, and a soft hum was heard. It sounded like the roar of a dragon. Lu Xuan's long sword stabbed out. It was not as magnificent as Yang Wang's dozens of slashes, but it had a kind of power that Yang Wang could never reach!
Lu Xuan straightened his sword and quickly met Yang Wang's frenzied blade aura. The first blade aura was instantly annihilated under Lu Xuan's sword. The second, the third …
In front of Lu Xuan's sword, Yang Wang's attack did not seem to be blade aura, but waves of majesty. There was not the slightest trace of it being eliminated. Lu Xuan's attack seemed slow, but it was actually extremely fast. Before Yang Wang could react, he saw the tip of Lu Xuan's sword had already stopped in front of him. He had no choice but to forcefully stop his momentum, or else he would definitely be pierced by Lu Xuan's sword. From afar, it looked like Yang Wang had sent his body in front of Lu Xuan's sword.
Looking at the sharp tip of the sword that was inches away, Yang Wang could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He tried to calm his shocked heart. His strongest move was so easily broken.
Lu Xuan slowly withdrew his attack and smiled. "Thank you for letting me win."
Yang Wang nodded his head subconsciously. Everyone could see that Yang Wang was defeated. He was utterly defeated. He was not Lu Xuan's opponent at all, or it could be said that Lu Xuan did not treat him as an opponent at all, because Yang Wang was not qualified to do so.
With the foreshadowing of Lu Xuan's sword intent dragon, Yang Wang's defeat did not surprise the crowd at all. Instead, they felt that this was how it should be. Many people even felt that Yang Wang was overestimating himself. He should have taken the initiative to admit defeat to avoid being humiliated.
Yang Wang retreated from the arena. He had been defeated so thoroughly that he no longer had any capital to be arrogant.
However, Lu Xuan did not have the slightest bit of pride. There was nothing to be proud of. He knew that Yang Wang was just an appetizer. The real main course had not arrived yet.
"Is there anyone else?" Lu Xuan stood in the main hall with his head held high and continued to ask.
Many elders looked at Nangong Shuo. Su Chuanan would definitely not send anyone to fight against Lu Xuan.
Nangong Shuo stared at Lu Xuan. Although he did not like Lu Xuan, he had to admit that this boy was indeed a rare genius. He was in the fifth level of the Spirit Refinement realm and defeated a direct disciple in the seventh level of the Spirit Refinement realm so easily. In the entire Ice Pavilion, only Leng Qingqiu and Zhao Bing`er could compare to Lu Xuan in terms of talent.
