Lu Xuan twisted his wrist as he watched the boundless flames engulfing him. His longsword instantly drew an arc in the air. A gust of wind howled out, accompanied by the shrill cry of a phoenix. It was none other than the Coming of the Phoenix.
"Hmph!" Fang Yuanbai snorted and shook his spear. The flames that were reflected by Lu Xuan immediately dissipated.
"I didn't expect you to be hiding your strength. I underestimated you. If I had known earlier, I would have crushed you to death!" Fang Yuanbai said coldly. When he was testing Lu Xuan, he had grasped Lu Xuan's vital points. But now, it was no longer easy for him to grasp Lu Xuan's vital points.
Lu Xuan shook his head, "You might not have been able to crush me to death. Come, let me see how strong you are as a pinnacle Great Void Realm martial artist!"
Lu Xuan's aura surged as soon as he finished speaking. He no longer hid his strength, revealing his fifth-layer Great Void Realm aura.
"How dare a fifth-layer Great Void Realm martial artist act so arrogantly in front of me. Today, I will bury you together with Count of the Wind!" Fang Yuanbai roared and leaped into the air in the blink of an eye. He held his spear tightly in his hand and swung it down.
"Blazing Sun Dragon Roar!"
The fire-type elemental energy in the surroundings rapidly gathered at the tip of Fang Yuanbai's spear. It was as if all the flames in the surroundings had been sucked out. Even Yi Yong's battle was affected. Yi Yong panicked when he saw Fang Yuanbai attacking Lu Xuan with all his might. However, he was unable to free himself from Fang Yuanbai's four disciples.
Being at the center of Fang Yuanbai's attack, Lu Xuan could feel it even more acutely. An extremely strong pressure was pressing down on his forehead. If it wasn't for his dense Soul Power, he would probably have died from vomiting blood. Experts at the pinnacle of the Great Virtual Realm indeed lived up to their reputation.
Boom!
A white flame shot out from the tip of Fang Yuanbai's spear. The force of the flame gave off a sense of sharpness. It was as if it did not rely on the power of the flame to burn, but to pierce through the enemy with its sharpness.
Lu Xuan's expression darkened slightly, appearing rather serious. However, the movements of his hands were not slow. He lifted the Masked Dust Sword from bottom to top and shouted, "Mountain and River Uprooting!"
A power that was not inferior to Fang Yuanbai's came from the Mist Sword. At that moment, a scene that shocked Fang Yuanbai appeared. When his flame energy came into contact with the Mist Sword, it disappeared without a trace, as if it had evaporated into thin air.
However, Fang Yuanbai was a pinnacle Great Void Stage expert after all. His mind was extremely firm, and he was not affected by this sudden change. Even though the force had dissipated, the spear in his hand was still swung down with all his might.
Clang!
A sharp sound of metal clashing was heard all of a sudden, almost piercing one's eardrums. Lu Xuan lowered his right hand slightly, and the floor beneath his feet cracked. It was obvious that he had withstood a tremendous force. Fang Yuanbai, on the other hand, was sent flying by the tremendous force in an instant. He was barely able to stabilize his body, and he somersaulted several times in the air before landing on the ground in a messy manner.
"This power is actually so powerful?" Fang Yuanbai was so shocked that he could not help but swallow his saliva. He thought that his attack would be able to split Lu Xuan in half, but he did not expect Lu Xuan to not only block it, but also send him flying. Although he had been injured by Nangong Lie and could only use about 70% to 80% of his strength, an attack from a pinnacle Void Realm martial artist with 70% of his strength was still extremely terrifying. It was not something that an ordinary fifth-level Void Realm martial artist could withstand.
At this moment, Fang Yuanbai really felt that Lu Xuan was a little strange. He was able to dispel the power of his flame inexplicably, and even possessed an incomparably powerful strength. This had completely subverted Fang Yuanbai's understanding of the world.
However, when his eyes inadvertently swept across the tip of his spear, Fang Yuanbai realized that perhaps his assessment of Lu Xuan was not accurate. He was shocked to find that a deep mark had appeared on the extremely sharp tip of his spear — it was the mark left behind by the Masked Sword!
Fang Yuanbai was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This made him feel even more heartbroken than if he had been injured. His spear was no ordinary item. Although it was not his life artifact like the Divine Fire Shield, it was still a high-grade Earth-rank artifact that he had spent a lot of effort to forge! It could be said to be the best of the high-grade! If it was not for his extraordinary status in the Fang Clan and the fact that he had the support of the Sikong Clan, he might not have been able to obtain it.
He did not expect that in such a short period of time, one of his two artifacts would be destroyed, while the other would be damaged. The mark on the tip of the spear might not be a big deal. In fact, more than half of the array engraved on the tip of the spear had been destroyed, and the power of the spear had been reduced by more than a few times.
Fang Yuanbai suffered a great loss, but Lu Xuan did not have it easy either. It seemed as if he did not move at all and only shattered the floor beneath his feet. He was far less miserable than Fang Yuanbai. However, the truth was that Lu Xuan had withstood all of Fang Yuanbai's power. If it was not for his incomparably tough body, the protection of the Divine Earth Rune, and the buffer of the Divine Wood and Divine Water Rune, he would have at least broken a few bones. Just as Fang Yuanbai had expected, the full-power attack of a pinnacle Great Void Realm expert was definitely not easy to bear.
Fang Yuanbai was shocked by the strength displayed by Lu Xuan. At the same time, Lu Xuan was also rapidly circulating the power of the Divine Rune to heal the injuries he had suffered and to calm the chaotic aura in his chest. For a moment, neither of them made a move.
Fang Yuanbai narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Xuan, "Since my spear has been damaged by you, I'll use your sword as compensation."
In the previous clash, Lu Xuan's Dusty Sword was not damaged at all, while his own spear was severely damaged. It was clear who had the upper hand between the two. Fang Yuanbai naturally had his eyes on Lu Xuan's sword. Moreover, his Flame Force had disappeared without a trace after coming into contact with the Dusty Sword. This was enough for Fang Yuanbai to guess that there was something strange about the sword.
"If you have the strength, then come and take it. There's no need for all this nonsense." Lu Xuan sneered.
"Shameless boasting! Do you really think that you're my equal just because you blocked my spear? " Fang Yuanbai sneered, "So what if you're strong? In a battle between warriors, strength isn't the only thing that matters!"
Fang Yuanbai assumed that Lu Xuan was born with great strength when he blocked his spear with a single sword. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to accept that a mere fifth-tier Grand Void Stage cultivator could be on par with him, who was at the pinnacle of the Grand Void Stage.
"Demonic Flaming Cloud Dance!" With a loud shout from Fang Yuanbai, countless silhouettes appeared in an instant. Each of the silhouettes held a spear in their hands as they continuously brandished their spears. The endless flames seemed to have transformed into a sea of fire. The Ghost Dance of the Fire Cloud truly lived up to its name.
