The copper coin tumbled, emitting a crisp clanging sound.

Li Xiuzhang had already drawn his sword before the coin touched the ground and the sound reached his ears.

“Clang!”

His blade moved like a shadow, causing many to see traces of afterimages; Li Xiuzhang’s movement technique was as swift as an agile cat.

The distance of one zhang between them seemed as if it didn’t exist.

Li Xiuzhang took only a moment to step into the optimal position to strike with his sword.

At that moment, Li Xiuzhang saw dozens, even hundreds of wind blades and thunder spears forming around Chu Xisheng, bombarding him like a violent storm.

—This was the Hand of Wind and Lightning Control!

Li Xiuzhang’s pupils narrowed slightly.

When the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual ranked the ‘Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers,’ it had recorded Chu Xisheng’s achievements.

This man had once used his ‘Wind and Electricity Control’ ability to command wind blades and thunder, suppressing thousands from the Xiushui County army.

Unexpectedly, this fellow dared to use this ability on the platform!

To employ it in his duel with him was audacious to the extreme!

Such power, when used to suppress those feeble local county soldiers, was one thing, but to use it against an opponent of the same level was simply asking for death!

Li Xiuzhang’s sword light swung, miraculously producing several slashes in an instant, tracing mysterious and abnormal paths, and in a blink shattered a dozen wind blades coming from the front.

At that moment, however, his expression changed slightly.

For the force exerted by the wind blades he struck was far beyond his expectations.

Individually, they were nothing, Li Xiuzhang could easily crush them.

But when these dozen or so wind blades repeatedly bombarded him one after another, they made Li Xiuzhang’s sword force falter.

Those thunder spears were even faster, already blasting in front of Li Xiuzhang’s face.

What was even more alarming was Chu Xisheng’s hand holding the Gentle Wind Thunder Blade.

He hadn’t drawn his sword yet due to controlling the wind and thunder; he was now poised and ready to strike.

The Sword Intent coming from afar was becoming more piercing, stronger, and heavier.

Li Xiuzhang’s thoughts could not help but sink.

What kind of Bloodline Talent did this person possess?

Why was his ‘Wind Control and Lightning Manipulation’ so powerful?

Beside him, Wei Feilong from the Eastern Heaven Association raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Chu Xisheng was not only powerful in his Bloodline Talent but also in his Martial Arts True Intent!

Clearly, this was the Sixth Rank ‘Wind and Thunder Martial Intent.’

—Incredibly rare among swordsmen with Grade Eight Cultivation!

“Slash!”

Li Xiuzhang suddenly let out a loud shout.

The Straight Blade in his hand burst into a frenzy of sword light, as if dozens of flying swallows were interweaving and circling.

In an instant, he shredded all the wind blades and thunder!

And at that moment, he heard a sharp ‘clang.’

Chu Xisheng finally drew his blade at this moment!

—Draw Sword Style “empty wind”!

His Gentle Wind Thunder Blade was like a ray of morning light that easily pierced through Li Xiuzhang’s woven web of blades and flickered in front of his eyes in an instant, nearly breaking through his brow.

Li Xiuzhang’s mind was as calm as still water.

Chu Xisheng’s draw at this time was obviously intended to secure victory with one strike while Li Xiuzhang’s old strength was exhausted, and new strength had not yet emerged!

As if it would be that easy!

Li Xiuzhang took one breath, and his strength recovered by half.

He swept his Straight Blade horizontally, ready to clear the sword light before his eyes.

But at the moment their blades crossed, Li Xiuzhang’s pupils contracted slightly.

Chu Xisheng’s sword power was much heavier than he had anticipated, and by a considerable amount!

Li Xiuzhang couldn’t believe it.

How could this guy, with merely a high Grade Eight Cultivation, possess such immense strength?

Clank!

As a spark erupted from the clash of their blades, Li Xiuzhang’s body slid back ten zhang under Chu Xisheng’s chopping strike.

Li Xiuzhang’s entire body was thrown off balance, stumbling backward.

Chu Xisheng was unrelenting, following him like a shadow.

The Thunder Spears and Wind Blades he commanded also continued to bombard relentlessly.

Chu Xisheng split his Gentle Wind Thunder Blade into two, creating afterimages with both his body and blade.

Every slash from Chu Xisheng was like thunder cleaving from the sky – erratic and blinding with brilliance, like an antelope hanging its horns, mysteriously unfathomable.

Li Xiuzhang could only retreat nonstop, using every possible method to fall back.

Not only did he have to catch Chu Xisheng’s sword light, but he also had to deal with those thunder spears and wind blades.

The problem was that he had to use all his spirit and energy to counter every single one of Chu Xisheng’s slashes and had no spare capacity for anything else.

—This was clearly ‘Unity of Intent and Martial Arts’!

This man, with mere high Grade Eight Cultivation, was already capable of integrating his Martial Arts True Intent into his sword technique, causing strange anomalies.

He was overwhelmed, opting to ignore the piercing wind blades and paralyzing Thunder Spears, focusing solely on Chu Xisheng’s Sword Force.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

In the blink of an eye, the two clashed three times, and the metallic ringing of their blades echoed in the ears of everyone around the arena, gripping their hearts.

Dozens of blood sprays burst from Li Xiuzhang’s body.

Each wind blade was incredibly sharp, nearly every one breaking through the Sixth Grade Inner Armor on Li Xiuzhang’s body, penetrating at least an inch deep and causing dozens of Blood Springs to spurt from him.

Li Xiuzhang’s face turned a slight shade of blue, but his eyes remained calm.

He possessed the ‘Xuanwu Blood’ Talent, which endowed him with incredibly strong recovery abilities.

Such injuries were recoverable as soon as he caught his breath.

The problem was, Chu Xisheng’s strikes were relentless like thunder, not giving him a chance to regroup and pushing him into an even more awkward predicament.
