His legs were like dragons and pythons, stirring up an incomparably violent air current. The air current contained an astonishing amount of power, frenziedly grinding everything in its path. It was as if numerous large white pythons were coiling around Chen Zong, wanting to grind him to death.
Hou Wu's speed of changing moves was extremely fast, and there were no flaws in the connection. His two legs smashed forward, and the power was even more tyrannical than his hands before. The destructive power was incomparable.
Chen Zong moved his feet smoothly, and his sword trembled slightly. He instantly attacked. Under the control of the sword with his heart, it was extremely agile and flexible.
"What a high level of Sword Principle." The elder narrowed his eyes slightly.
As an elder of White Cloud Mountain and a veteran Saint Realm master, he naturally had good eyesight and a high level of Martial Dao.
Fu Yunxiao's eyes shone brightly as he stared at Chen Zong and Chen Zong's sword.
He felt an indescribable mysterious aura from Chen Zong's sword. It was not the aura of a sword, but the aura of Sword Principle.
His high level of Sword Principle was even higher than his own.
For a moment, Fu Yunxiao's interest was piqued, but only slightly. After all, although Chen Zong's strength was good, it was far from enough in Fu Yunxiao's eyes.
The corners of Gao Hongjing's mouth curled up into a cold, domineering smile.
Bai Xiyue's expression was calm, and her aura was cold.
Chen Zong used his high level of Sword Principle to explain the true meaning of "a sword in hand is unbreakable by five feet".
The brilliance of using one's heart to control the sword was that one could master the Unbreakable Sword Ring of Five Feet. As the name implied, within a radius of five feet, the longsword would not be able to break through the defense of one's sword ring and injure one's body unless the power exceeded one's tolerance limit.
Now, with a sword in hand, no matter how hard Hou Wu attacked, Chen Zong blocked all of his attacks with just the sword in his hand.
This scene caused everyone to be endlessly shocked.
"What a terrifying level of attainment in Sword Principle."
"How can he be so powerful?"
Gao Leping smiled bitterly. It turned out that the gap between him and Chen Zong was so big.
Even if he used all of his strength, he couldn't do anything to Hou Wu. Now, even if Hou Wu used all of his strength, he couldn't do anything to Chen Zong.
Hou Wu himself was extremely shocked as well. After all, his strength wasn't weak, and his martial techniques were extremely exquisite. The flawless combination of his hands and legs caused him to erupt with a terrifying might that was like a violent storm, a tsunami, and a landslide. Even if it was a real mountain, it would be able to collapse and shatter it.
But now, he couldn't even break the sword circle created by someone whose cultivation was lower than his.
"Secret technique … Giant Beast Aura." Hou Wu let out a low roar, like the roar of a giant beast, an incomparably tyrannical aura suddenly burst out from his body, covering his whole body. Vaguely, one could see the shadow of an unknown giant beast appear on his body.
In an instant, Hou Wu's aura skyrocketed.
Giant Beast Aura!
This was a powerful sixth-grade secret technique, which Hou Wu had obtained through a fortuitous encounter in the past two years.
Boom! Boom!
Hou Wu attacked again under the influence of the Behemoth's anger. Every attack became extremely violent, and the power of every attack was greatly increased. It was at least several times stronger than before.
With this kind of strength, if it was increased by several times, its power would be even more terrifying.
Chen Zong suddenly felt the pressure.
The Unbreakable Sword Circle was not really unbreakable. It was an extremely brilliant sword control technique, a very mysterious technique. There were two ways to break the Unbreakable Sword Circle.
The first way was to have a higher Martial Dao realm. Naturally, one could see the shortcomings of the Unbreakable Sword Circle and use a more brilliant technique to break it.
The second method was to use absolute strength to break through everything, regardless of the realm of the martial way or the level of the technique. It was to use brute force to break through everything.
However, Chen Zong's Sword Principle realm, Sword Control with the Heart, had reached the highest level of the third level. If one wanted to surpass him in Martial Dao realm, one had to reach the fourth level.
As for the technique, Chen Zong's technique was even more brilliant. He had also reached the peak of the third level.
In other words, one could not break the Unbreakable Sword Circle without reaching the fourth level.
However, the fourth level of the Martial Dao was something that many Saint Realm masters had not reached.
As for the power of absolute power, no one knew how tyrannical it was.
Of course, there was actually a third way to break the Unbreakable Sword Circle. That was to continuously attack with great power to consume Chen Zong's strength.
Maintaining the Unbreakable Sword Circle consumed mental power. The weaker the opponent's strength, the less mental power consumed. The stronger the opponent's strength, the more mental power consumed.
With Hou Wu's strength, even if he used the secret technique, Giant Beast Qi, to increase his strength, he could not make Chen Zong consume much of his mental power.
After continuously attacking for dozens of breaths, he still could not break Chen Zong's Sword Circle. Chen Zong could not even move an inch.
Chen Zong was also sure that Hou Wu really did not have any other means.
The thousands of sword lights surrounding him suddenly condensed into an extremely majestic sword. Countless clouds surrounded it, exuding an amazing halo. The sword slashed down.
Break!
This sword strike seized the best opportunity. It was the moment when Hou Wu took a break after a series of attacks.
In essence, a cultivator was still a human being, but a human being who had become stronger had all the advantages and disadvantages of a human being.
The power was endless, but it could not be truly endless. Especially when attacking with full strength, it could be maintained for a period of time, but it could not be maintained for long. There was always a break to buffer.
Powerful people would shorten this break to the extreme, making it look like there was no break, and even use all kinds of methods to cover it up.
In Chen Zong's eyes, Hou Wu was not good enough. Therefore, Chen Zong immediately grasped the opportunity.
The old force was gone, and the new force was not yet born. The timing was just right.
Facing Chen Zong's sudden sword strike, Hou Wu's face suddenly changed. He only felt that his surroundings were sealed, and there was no way to dodge. He could only resist. Forcing himself to erupt with power, regardless of the burden on his body, he crossed his arms in an attempt to block this majestic sword light.
However, since Chen Zong had counterattacked, this sword strike was not so easy to block.
Cut!
Hou Wu's arms were suddenly split. The strength on them exploded, and his arms were also shaken off. The majestic sword light directly bombarded Hou Wu's chest, and he flew backward. His body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, and he could not help but spit out blood.
But in fact, Hou Wu was not seriously injured, because Chen Zong only used the cultivation of Qi Refining.
The falling Dark Light Sword was lifted up, and the cloud-white Sword Qi, like a waning moon, tore the sky and attacked Hou Wu again.
This sword strike carried an amazing impact, and Hou Wu's body kept flying backward.
The third strike!
Hou Wu directly fell out of the arena.
Chen Zong won and got one point.
"It seems that this is almost Chen Zong's strength."
"I think so. Even if it is not his full strength, at least 80%."
"He hasn't used the secret method yet. Counting the enhancement of the secret method, he should be hiding more than 20%, maybe 30%, or even 40%."
For a moment, many people made the judgment that Chen Zong's strength was almost at this level. Even if he hid some of his strength, it should not be much more than what they speculated.
With such strength, there should be no problem for him to be in the top 20 of the Cloud Roll, but it would be very difficult for him to be in the top 10.
For a moment, everyone's attention and curiosity about Chen Zong plummeted.
Illusory Cloud Path Lord smiled faintly. Others might not have been able to tell, but as one of the strongest cultivators of White Cloud Mountain, his level and vision were naturally extraordinary. He could see that Chen Zong's body contained an extremely terrifying power that had yet to be unleashed.
In other words, Chen Zong's hidden strength was more than what everyone had guessed.
"20% … or 30% …" Fantasy Cloud secretly guessed.
The so-called 20% or 30% did not mean Chen Zong's hidden strength, but the strength that he had just shown.
Little did he know that although Fantasy Cloud had overestimated Chen Zong, in fact, he had still underestimated him. After all, Fantasy Cloud did not know that Chen Zong had comprehended such a terrifying cultivation method as the Heart Calming Sword.
Chen Zong did not care whether others were paying attention to him or not. Hou Wu's strength was not enough, and there would be stronger opponents in the future, such as Bai Xiyue, Gao Hongjing, Fu Yunxiao, and the others. It was not worthwhile to show his strongest strength now.
Hiding some strength could be used as a trump card.
Xu Ling was surprised and doubtful.
Hou Wu's strength was undoubtedly much stronger than his, and Chen Zong's defeat of Hou Wu was not so overwhelming. However, more than a year ago, Chen Zong's aura that shocked him to the point of fainting was so powerful.
After more than a year, how could his strength not have improved significantly?
Could it be that Chen Zong was hiding more strength?
Did he have a bigger plan?
Xu Ling only felt that his mind was in a mess.
The battle continued, one battle after another. Some people won, and some lost.
Yu Nianxin's opponent was a disciple on the Cloud List this year. His cultivation was at the peak of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Level, higher than Yu Nianxin, and he was also very strong.
However, Yu Nianxin was stronger.
After a quarter of an hour of fierce battle, Yu Nianxin blasted out with his sword, bringing with it an astonishing surge of wind and clouds. He was extremely powerful and defeated his opponent, obtaining one point.
Daolord Huan Yun glanced at Yu Nianxin.
Xia Minglang also successfully defeated his opponent and obtained one point.
Among the seventy-two people on this year's Cloud List, the strongest were still Bai Xiyue, Gao Hongjing, and Fu Yunxiao. The gap between their strength and the others was too big.
Therefore, most people were not willing to challenge them at all. If they did, they would lose.
However, according to the rules of the fourth stage of the finals, everyone had to fight with the other seventy-one people one after another. It was unavoidable.
Chen Zong was number eighteen, and it was soon his turn to challenge.
Chen Zong chose number twenty, a peak Transcendent Realm Ninth Level cultivator. His opponent was still unable to do anything to him when he used the Unbreakable Sword Circle. He seized the opportunity to defeat his opponent with a single sword strike.
Of course, at the beginning, everyone could try to avoid the three strongest people and only choose others as their opponents. Therefore, for a period of time, Bai Xiyue, Gao Hongjing, and Fu Yunxiao would not be challenged.
However, the three of them had to take the initiative to issue challenges.
Bai Xiyue chose her opponents casually. Although it was said that she chose them casually, she still avoided Gao Hongjing and Fu Yunxiao. These two were very strong, and even if they wanted to fight, they would leave it until the end.
However, the person who was chosen by Bai Xiyue as her opponent had a bitter expression. He knew that there was a big gap between his strength and Bai Xiyue's.
"I admit defeat," the person said directly.
The gap in strength was too obvious, and it would be useless to fight. It was better to admit defeat and preserve one's strength.
