Bai Yushan was a descendant of Ultimate Martial Main City's Bai Clan. His status was not low, and he cultivated one of the Bai Clan's three famous Foundation Establishment Sword Techniques, the Lesser Starlight Sword Technique. When he attacked, the sword light seemed to turn into specks of starlight.
Bai Yushan had already cultivated this Foundation Establishment Sword Technique to the Minute Subtlety Realm. When he used it, the blade could not be seen, and only specks of dazzling starlight could be seen. If one looked at it more than a few times, they would feel dizzy.
Every speck of starlight was a sword that could pierce through steel. It was terrifying.
Chen Zong's sword was like lightning, like an eagle soaring through the sky, like a willow returning wind, shattering the specks of starlight and counterattacking.
Every strike was fast, accurate, steady, and ruthless.
Every strike was like a killing move, extremely dangerous.
"How terrifying."
Below the arena, the spectators were shocked, especially those martial artists who had not reached the ninth level of the Qi and Blood Realm. They felt their heartbeats accelerate and their mouths go dry. An indescribable sense of excitement spread throughout their bodies, causing their Qi and blood to boil.
It was too exciting, that kind of battle.
"In a battle between martial artists who cultivate their fists and legs, it's very impactful. However, swordsmanship is more about technique. It's about finding a flaw and killing it in one strike. It's like dancing on the tip of a blade, or stepping over a cliff barehanded. Even for swordsmanship martial artists of similar strength, it's very likely that one of them will die and the other will only be injured or even unharmed," said a swordsman at the ninth level of the Qi and Blood Realm.
Sabers were strong and fierce, and swords were light and graceful. Each had its own strengths.
In comparison, sabers gave people the feeling that they were more powerful and heavy, while swords gave people the feeling that they were sharper.
Of course, nothing was absolute.
But no matter what, a battle between swordsmanship martial artists with similar strength would often give people a thrilling feeling. It would make people's hair stand on end.
Sensing Chen Zong's strength, Bai Yushan felt more threatened. His desire to seriously injure and cripple Chen Zong grew stronger. It was directly expressed in his swordsmanship, which became more ruthless and fierce.
Even though Bai Yushan had yet to cultivate the Foundation Establishment Sword Art to the Realm of True Mystery, he had developed a unique understanding of it after cultivating it. His movements had become more agile and crafty. Every strike of his was filled with his full strength and contained a shocking killing intent.
Bai Yushan cultivated two Foundation Establishment Sword Arts, both of which were related to starlight. However, one of them focused more on stabbing, while the other focused more on slashing. Both of them had reached the realm of Minute Subtlety, and when used together, they were even more agile and astonishing.
Kill, kill, kill!
Chen Zong practiced as many as five foundational sword techniques. Three of them might not be as powerful as the foundational sword technique practiced by Bai Yushan, but the Flash Thunder Sword Technique was not inferior at all, and the Eight Moves of Real Sword directly surpassed it. Moreover, the five foundational sword techniques gradually broke away from their original shackles under Chen Zong's repeated practice. The restrictions between them became more and more vague, and when they were used alternately and combined with the Eighteen Basic Moves, they seemed to have formed a path of their own.
It was like a kind of detachment.
Bai Yushan's footsteps were direct. Whether it was moving forward, backward, left, or right, they were all direct and swift. On the other hand, Chen Zong's footsteps were light and graceful, as if he was walking on the wind.
The collision of different styles, but each strike contained a shocking amount of danger. The spectators were mesmerized by the fight, and they also felt a chill run down their spines.
Exciting, an indescribable excitement.
After fighting for a while, Bai Yushan could not suppress Chen Zong at all and had the upper hand. Chen Zong also felt Bai Yushan's strength. Compared to Xu Mingzhi, who was a veteran martial artist at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm Level Nine, Bai Yushan could only be stronger.
Perhaps Bai Yushan's cultivation time was far less than Xu Mingzhi's, but his talent, cultivation methods, sword techniques, and so on were not something Xu Mingzhi could compare to.
Some of the powerful veteran martial artists at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm Level Nine were relatively strong. Very few could compare to those geniuses at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm Level Nine.
"Chen Zong's strength is actually so strong!" Instructor Yang was astonished.
Initially, he was very dissatisfied with Chen Zong's request to challenge Bai Yushan. He felt that Chen Zong was biting off more than he could chew and was arrogant. Previously, he even advised and warned him. He did not expect Chen Zong to be able to fight Bai Yushan to this extent. It was truly too shocking.
With Instructor Yang's eyesight, he could naturally see that Bai Yushan had already shown his true strength other than his ranked martial arts and forbidden techniques. However, Chen Zong did not show any signs of being at a disadvantage. Similarly, Chen Zong did not use any forbidden techniques or ranked martial arts.
Bai Yushan's strength brought a certain amount of pressure to Chen Zong. Pressure often turned into motivation. Under this motivation, Chen Zong's application of the Foundation Establishment Sword Techniques he had learned became more refined. The boundaries between them gradually became more blurred, and there were signs of them fusing into one.
Of course, no matter the rank of the martial arts or sword techniques, when they were created, they were given different meanings and styles. There were clear boundaries between them. It was very difficult to break through those boundaries. Even if one cultivated to the Realm of Minute Subtlety, there was little hope. Those who could do it all had extremely deep and unique understanding of the martial arts and their application.
This might not be a particularly difficult task for a True Martial Realm elite, but for martial artists below the True Martial Realm, it was like a natural chasm. Ordinary martial artists would not even be able to touch the threshold in their lifetime.
The stronger Chen Zong was, the more attention he attracted. The more shocking he was, the more Bai Yushan was wary of him.
"Damn it." Bai Yushan was furious. He felt that if this continued, Chen Zong could really surpass him. That was definitely not a good thing for him.
"Endless Starry Sky!"
All of a sudden, the power of Qi and blood burst out as he performed a Human Realm upper class sword art. His sword turned into countless stars and filled the surroundings. It was as if the night sky had suddenly turned into a starry sky, surrounding Chen Zong.
It looked beautiful, but it actually contained a shocking killing intent. Every starry sky was a sword light, stabbing at Chen Zong from all directions.
He took a step forward and his body moved like the wind, escaping from under the stars. His long sword trembled slightly and changed continuously. It was like lightning and thunder, but also like the returning wind blowing past a willow tree. As the light and shadow intertwined, there was a sense of reality.
With another sword move, a solitary star shone, as if it had become the center of the starry sky. When it shone, the light of the starry sky dimmed, as if it was about to be extinguished.
It was also a Upper Human Class Sword Technique, but the Solitary Star was undoubtedly more powerful.
Of course, there was a limit to the power of ranked martial arts. Whether it was Bai Yushan or Chen Zong, they had already unleashed the power of their swordsmanship to the limit, and with the support of their cultivation, they had become even more powerful.
Endless Starry Sky attacked Chen Zong, and the Solitary Star also attacked Bai Yushan. There was a sense of loneliness, which made people lose themselves.
To be able to become the Eldest Senior Brother of the First Seat and to be undefeated after so many challenges, Bai Yushan definitely had his own strengths. His mental fortitude was extremely strong, and with just a moment of distraction, he was able to recover.
The two swords collided, and the sound of metal clashing was ear-piercing. Some people with lower cultivation couldn't help but cover their ears. They couldn't bear it.
The collision between the Upper Class Human Stage Martial Arts was equally matched.
"Brilliant Starry Sky!"
Bai Yushan performed the second sword move. The endless starry sky became extremely refined. Every point had a sharp light, as if it was formed by the tip of a sword. It could easily tear through steel.
"Solitary Star Illuminating the World!"
Once again, he slashed out with his sword. The Lonely Star that manifested shone with an unprecedented radiance. The feeling of loneliness became even more intense, and Bai Yushan was affected even more. Everyone below the arena was also affected, and they all felt an indescribable sense of loneliness.
"So scary. It can even affect one's spiritual will." Instructor Yang was shocked. His spiritual will had already reached another level. He was immune to this kind of influence, but he could still feel it.
There were very few Martial Arts that could do this. The Solitary Star Sword Technique was one of them. Of course, Chen Zong's own understanding was also involved. Otherwise, no matter how good a Martial Art was, if one couldn't understand the essence of it, it would be meaningless.
When the Solitary Star Illuminating the World appeared, the light of the other stars seemed to be overshadowed.
Chen Zong was unharmed.
"Damn it!" Bai Yushan cursed. He approached Chen Zong and began a more dangerous close combat. With a sword in hand, he changed his moves. It was extremely dangerous.
Bai Yushan's sword was also a top quality precious iron sword. It was not inferior to Chen Zong's Fake Frost Flowing Sword in the slightest.
This kind of close combat with sharp swords was even more exciting and terrifying.
This kind of challenge was different from a life and death battle. It was more difficult to use one's hands and feet. Although it was said to be full strength, it was more or less reserved.
Suddenly, Bai Yushan slashed out with his sword. The sword light split into two and shot towards Chen Zong's left and right like two shooting stars. While Chen Zong blocked the attack, Bai Yushan's entire body seemed to be facing Chen Zong's sword head-on. Bai Yushan's left hand, which had long been prepared, pointed towards Chen Zong's chest with his index finger.
Chen Zong had some killing intent in his heart, but he couldn't kill Bai Yushan directly. His sword cut through Bai Yushan's arm. From the corner of his eye, he could see that the tip of Bai Yushan's left index finger had turned blood-red. It was as if countless Qi and blood energy had gathered there and was spinning at an astonishing speed. It was like a strange spiral that contained terrifying power.
This finger was too fast and had been prepared for a long time. By the time Chen Zong realized it, it was already too late to dodge.
The finger directly hit Chen Zong's heart. Bai Yushan's eyes were filled with a trace of malevolence.
"Under the Blood Shattering Finger, your Qi and blood will slowly drain away over time. The more you use it, the faster your Qi and blood will drain away. In the end, it will all be gone, and you will become a cripple." Bai Yushan's voice sounded in Chen Zong's ear. It was very soft, so soft that even Instructor Yang didn't hear it.
Chen Zong's heart trembled. The sword that he had been holding back suddenly exploded, heavily slashing at Bai Yushan's chest. It tore apart his martial clothes, revealing the Golden Silk Inner Armor underneath. It also directly tore the Golden Silk Inner Armor.
At the critical moment, Bai Yushan's left hand slashed at the Fake Frost Flowing Sword, causing it to deviate. However, some of the skin on his chest was still scraped off. The bloody scene was shocking. It cut towards Bai Yushan's arm. If it hit, one of his arms would probably be crippled.
