Nangong Shuo slowly closed his eyes as he faced the gazes of all the elders. It was as if he did not care about what was going on. It was not suitable for him to show himself in such a situation. Even though he really wanted to suppress Lu Xuan, he still had to put up a front. After all, he was the Great Elder. If news of him suppressing a newly promoted direct disciple got out, it would be disastrous.
The elders in Nangong Shuo's faction also understood what he was thinking. Many of them started exchanging glances, clearly discussing what to do through telepathy. For a moment, no one was in a hurry to go up. Those direct disciples who were clamoring to teach Lu Xuan a lesson earlier all quieted down. They knew how strong Yang Wang was, but Yang Wang had been defeated so easily. This made them look at Lu Xuan in a new light.
After a while, a direct disciple finally appeared.
This direct disciple walked out from behind Wei Zhengyang. Without a doubt, he was also Wei Zhengyang's disciple. It seemed that Wei Zhengyang was very unhappy with Yang Wang's easy defeat. He actually sent his own disciple to fight. Clearly, he wanted to get back at Yang Wang.
Lu Xuan turned his attention to the personal disciple who walked out. He was also a disciple of Wei Zhengyang, but he looked completely different from Yang Wang. Yang Wang looked ordinary, and no one would have been able to recognize him in a crowd. However, this guy was rather handsome, tall, and handsome, and looked very elegant.
He walked forward and smiled at Lu Xuan. He cupped his hands and said, "I am Li Yuncong, a disciple of Elder Wei. I am at the eighth tier of the Spirit Refinement realm."
"Ah, so it's brother Li. Please give me some pointers." Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to make things difficult. At least Li Yuncong didn't act as arrogant as Yang Wang.
"I don't dare to give you pointers. We are just learning from each other." Li Yuncong smiled. In reality, he didn't want to fight against Lu Xuan. He was at the eighth tier of the Spirit Refinement realm, while Lu Xuan was only at the fifth tier. There was a difference of three tiers. It was reasonable for him to win, but if he lost, he would lose a lot of face. However, since Wei Zhengyang had personally asked him to go up, he couldn't refuse. He could only hope that Lu Xuan wasn't as strong as the rumors said and that he could win this battle.
Lu Xuan extended his hand and gestured for Li Yuncong to go up. Li Yuncong then took out his weapon. His weapon was also a blade, but it wasn't the large ringed blade that Yang Wang used. Instead, it was a willow leaf blade. The blade was light and thin, named after its shape. The gentle curve of the blade gave it a different kind of beauty. This was also to reduce the resistance of the blade and increase the cutting power of the blade.
Seeing Li Yuncong's weapon, Lu Xuan knew that Li Yuncong's blade skills didn't rely on strength, but on technique. His attacks would definitely be extremely vicious and hard to defend against. However, Lu Xuan wasn't worried. After all, he was an expert in speed.
"Brother Lu, be careful. I'm going to attack." Li Yuncong didn't hold back with Lu Xuan. His blade skills were very aggressive. If he attacked first, he would be able to quickly drag his opponent into his rhythm, which would increase his chances of winning. Moreover, he had just seen Lu Xuan's strength, so he naturally wouldn't underestimate him.
"Brother Li, feel free to attack." Lu Xuan held his longsword diagonally and said in a very magnanimous manner.
Many disciples revealed looks of dissatisfaction. Facing a warrior in the eighth tier of the Spirit Refinement realm, Lu Xuan actually dared to be so arrogant. He was really courting death. Li Yuncong was the strongest disciple under Wei Zhengyang. He was also quite famous among the direct disciples. His willow leaf blade skills had also defeated countless enemies. Even a warrior in the ninth tier of the Spirit Refinement realm might not have an easy time if Li Yuncong's sneak attack succeeded.
However, Li Yuncong didn't have such thoughts. Ever since he stepped onto the path of martial arts, he had always followed the belief that even a lion would have to use all its strength to capture a rabbit. The willow leaf blade skills he used were also a martial skill that left no room for maneuver. Moreover, he wasn't a lion, and Lu Xuan wasn't a rabbit either.
Li Yuncong let out a soft shout and the willow leaf blade in his hand trembled slightly. His entire body had already started moving, and the blade intent that had also reached the middle stage erupted without reservation. Because of his blade skills, the blade intent that he had comprehended was also extremely sharp and murderous.
Li Yuncong's footsteps were light, and his entire body was like a phantom as he attacked Lu Xuan. The willow leaf blade skills combined with his dream-like martial skill made it even more difficult to defend against.
"Fluttering Willow Catkins!" Li Yuncong softly chanted the name of his technique, and the willow leaf blade in his hand slashed directly at Lu Xuan. However, just as the attack was about to reach Lu Xuan, the technique suddenly changed!
He pushed his martial skill to the extreme, and in an instant, three figures appeared, attacking Lu Xuan from three different directions. This was the secret of the Fluttering Willow Catkins. The sudden attacks coming from all directions made it impossible for people to block them.
Although Li Yuncong's attack was extremely sudden, Lu Xuan wasn't caught off guard. In the instant that Li Yuncong changed his technique, Lu Xuan's Shattered Ice Sword quickly struck out, and he also let out a low shout: "Dragon Rages in the Wild!"
Lu Xuan's body didn't move, but the Shattered Ice Sword had already sent out three attacks in an instant. The powerful sword Qi accurately met Li Yuncong's attack. Not to mention three attacks, even if it was twice as many, Lu Xuan would still be able to handle it.
Seeing that Lu Xuan's reaction was so fast, Li Yuncong was not surprised. He had already expected that Lu Xuan wouldn't be defeated so easily, and this move was still meant to test the waters.
Knowing that this move of his would be useless, Li Yuncong took the initiative to give up on this move. The willow leaf blade instantly retracted, and his martial skill also stopped at the same time, no longer charging forward. However, it only paused for a moment, and he once again launched his attack. He wanted to take advantage of the time when Lu Xuan had not finished his move to launch another attack.
"Fluttering Willow Catkins!"
This move didn't have a great name, but in reality, it was an extremely useful move. Li Yuncong's willow leaf blade pointed out continuously, and countless small blade Qi bloomed like peach blossoms, instantly shooting towards Lu Xuan. If Lu Xuan was hit, he would definitely be pierced into a sieve by the sharp blade Qi.
Lu Xuan didn't dare to be negligent. Li Yuncong was also considered one of the best among the direct disciples, and his strength was definitely not weak, so he couldn't afford to be careless. However, with the previous example, Lu Xuan didn't immediately respond, but instead used the Wind Riding Technique, and his entire body instantly retreated, widening the distance between him and Li Yuncong.
Li Yuncong didn't expect Lu Xuan to be so vigilant. It seemed that this move of his would be useless again. Lu Xuan's guess was right, this move of his was not as simple as it looked on the surface. The seemingly murderous blade flowers were just a pretense. Fluttering Willow Catkins, the real killer move was not the Fluttering Catkins, but the Fluttering Willow Catkins.
Just as Lu Xuan began to retreat, the scattered blade flowers suddenly gathered together, and countless blade flowers formed a willow leaf blade Qi. After the Fluttering Catkins, it was the Fluttering Willow Catkins. If the enemy thought that these blade flowers were an attack, and wanted to attack separately, they would immediately be caught off guard by Li Yuncong's follow-up move. If it was light, they would be injured, and if it was heavy, they would die.
Seeing the attacking blade Qi, the corner of Lu Xuan's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. It seemed that his guess was indeed correct. From the two moves that Li Yuncong had just made, besides speed, he was also good at combining feints and reality. If one was the slightest bit careless, they would be hit.
After all, Lu Xuan's vision was extraordinary. He only saw Li Yuncong make two moves, and he almost grasped the characteristics of his attack. Although his Willow Leaf Blade Technique was not bad, compared to the Hundred Martial Techniques that Lu Xuan had seen in the Ice Phoenix's Land of Inheritance, there was still a lot of difference. In order to break through the Hundred Martial Techniques, Lu Xuan had seen all kinds of attacks. Li Yuncong's trick was only the Nine Ox Lineage.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan was not in the mood to continue wasting time with Li Yuncong. The Shattered Ice Sword suddenly struck out, and he shouted, "Divine Dragon Swings its Tail!"
Lu Xuan suddenly turned around, and the Shattered Ice Sword rotated with him. He added the rotational force to the sword, and fiercely slashed at Li Yuncong's blade Qi with all his strength. The power of the Divine Dragon Swings its Tail was the strongest move in the Seven Dragon Transformation Sword Techniques. Even the Proud Dragon Regrets could not compare to it, so how could Li Yuncong's mere blade Qi resist it?
Almost at the moment when the blade and the sword collided, Li Yuncong's blade Qi was completely destroyed. Seeing how fierce Lu Xuan was, Li Yuncong could not help but turn pale with fright. Although he was not good at strength, he was an expert in the Eighth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm after all. His painstaking attack was actually so easily destroyed by Lu Xuan, it was really beyond his expectations.
However, Lu Xuan's attack did not stop there. Just at the moment when the Divine Dragon Swings its Tail destroyed Li Yuncong's attack, Lu Xuan quickly changed his move. The Shattered Ice Sword trembled slightly, and he shouted again, "Dragon Soars in the Sky!"
The speed of Dragon Soars in the Sky was even stronger than Startling Clouds. With the help of the martial skill, Lu Xuan's already extremely fast speed was increased by 30%. It was as if he had broken through space in an instant, and the tip of the sword stabbed straight at Li Yuncong, giving him no time to react.
However, Li Yuncong was an expert in the Eighth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm after all, and his reaction was extremely fast. This was no longer an automatic reaction, but a subconscious reaction. Without thinking, Li Yuncong shouted and swung the lancet at Lu Xuan. It seemed that he had been pushed to his limit by Lu Xuan, and wanted to fight to the death.
Naturally, Lu Xuan was not afraid of fighting Li Yuncong head on. Even though the two of them were three small realms apart, Lu Xuan did not think that Li Yuncong would be his opponent in a head-on fight.
Everyone in the hall had their attention focused on Lu Xuan and Li Yuncong. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly as they kept their eyes on the battle. They did not know who would come out on top. The battle between Lu Xuan and Li Yuncong was not particularly flashy. It was not even as majestic as Yang Wang's earlier battle. However, the level of danger was several times greater than that of Li Yuncong.
This was a battle of skills, and every detail could directly determine the outcome of the battle.
Just as Lu Xuan and Li Yuncong were about to fight, the situation suddenly changed. Li Yuncong, who was just in front of Lu Xuan, suddenly disappeared. Everyone only saw a blur, and Li Yuncong suddenly appeared behind Lu Xuan, and the blade was less than three feet away from Lu Xuan!
Everyone could not help but exclaim in surprise. This was too unexpected. No one expected Li Yuncong, who had just put on a show to compete with Lu Xuan, to have another move up his sleeve. Furthermore, he had done so at such a critical moment. For a warrior at the eighth tier of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, a distance of three feet was something that could be broken through in an instant.
Lu Xuan, danger!
