485: Chapter 484: Who is the First Swordsman?

Azure Dragon Ancient City, atop the arena.

Lin Xuan stood with his sword, looking around like a Sword God.

This time, he had challenged Zhou Jianying.

Suddenly, everyone was boiling with excitement.

Although the crowd wasn’t surprised by this scene, seeing it firsthand still made their blood boil.

Lin Xuan’s strength was apparent to all, and as a swordsman, he was bound to challenge Zhou Jianying.

This battle would also determine who was the premier young swordsman in the Tian Nan Domain.

“I think Zhou Jianying will definitely win.

You should know his Sword Intent is unmatched by anyone.”

“Not necessarily.

Lin Xuan is too dominant.

I think he might create another miracle.”

People had differing opinions, each supporting their preferred top swordsman.

Atop the ancient city, the Sword Venerable narrowed his eyes.

“Lin Xuan is indeed impressive, both strong and brave, but he’s still a bit strained against Jianying.”

“Is it true that Jianying’s Sword Intent has reached Great Success?” asked the Green Lotus Venerable.

“Not Great Success, but very close,” answered the Sword Venerable.

Hearing this, the other Venerables nodded slightly as well.

If the Sword Intent attained Great Success, it would be truly terrifying.

Though Zhou Jianying hadn’t fully reached it, his connection with Great Success Sword Intent was not something Lin Xuan could contend against.

On the arena, Zhou Jianying stood silently in a green robe.

She drew her sky-blue longsword from behind and said in a deep voice, “You are worthy of my full strength!”

This was not a boast but an acknowledgment.

Notably, except for her fight against Ba Wuji, Zhou Jianying hadn’t drawn her sword in battle.

Yet facing Lin Xuan, she had drawn her Heavenly Evil Longsword, showing how much she valued this fight.

Lin Xuan drew the Wind Shadow Sword, focusing intently.

Facing Zhou Jianying, he too needed to give his all.

After all, she was also a swordsman, and her Sword Intent likely surpassed his; any carelessness could lead to being defeated in a single blow.

Holding the Wind Shadow Sword, Lin Xuan’s Great Dragon Sword Intent stirred within him, creating a fierce momentum.

Across him, Zhou Jianying’s Sword Intent also soared quickly, reaching eighty percent.

The two Sword Intents clashed in the void, vying against each other.

Whoosh!

Zhou Jianying was the first to attack, stepping forward like a streak of sky-blue light, striking swiftly.

The Heavenly Evil Sword thrust out, carrying awe-inspiring Sword Intent.

Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly; naturally, he could feel the prowess of this strike.

Previously, from below the stage, he knew Zhou Jianying’s Sword Intent was no weaker than his, but facing it head-on made his heart tremble slightly.

This woman was truly a genius of the Sword Dao, capable of comprehending Sword Intent to such an extent.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his right hand thrusting out like lightning, the Wind Shadow Sword slanting forward to precisely strike the Heavenly Evil Sword.

Clang!

The two swords collided, producing a metallic roar that made the void tremble.

The overflowing Sword Intent burst forth with the sound waves.

Crack crack crack!

Countless Sword Marks appeared around them on the ground, rapidly spreading until the entire arena and the ground beneath were perforated.

“That’s terrifying.

In that instant, why did I feel as if I was being stabbed by a longsword?”

“Exactly, I felt as if a thousand swords were piercing my heart.”

That was too horrifying; even a sliver of that Sword Intent could probably annihilate Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists.

Amidst the crowd’s murmuring, Lin Xuan and Zhou Jianying had already crossed swords.

Both moved quickly, with flashes of sword light skimming by, like smoke and lightning.

Each clash emitted terrifying power until the entire arena was crisscrossed with Sword Qi.

“Heaven Creation!”

Zhou Jianying’s figure suddenly shifted backward, her hands gripping the Heavenly Evil Divine Sword, cleaving downward.

The void tore apart as dazzling sword light emitted from the sword, severing everything in front.

It seemed as though the sword light had split not the air, but space and earth itself.

After dozens of moves, Zhou Jianying finally unleashed his first Sword Skill kill move.

“Qingyun Wuji!”

With the Wind Shadow Sword sweeping horizontally, Lin Xuan quickly slashed out with his sword.

This sword was elusive, with no visible sword light, no sword qi, just the air visibly rippling, as terrifying Sword Intent gathered at one point.

Boom!

Crack!

The Sky-splitting Sword Qi suddenly split apart, cut into two halves and quickly dissipated between heaven and earth.

The one that severed the Sword Qi was Lin Xuan’s Qingyun Wuji, but after cutting through the Sky-splitting Sword Qi, it also quickly disappeared.

With one strike, both competitors were equally matched.

“Earth Splitting!”

Zhou Jianying, unperturbed, plunged the Heavenly Evil Sword into the ground and quickly flicked it upward.

Instantaneously, five huge waves of Sword Qi surged from the ground, forming an arc of Sword Qi that rapidly rushed towards Lin Xuan like a tsunami.

The ground cracked wherever it passed, creating terrifying abysses.

The coverage of these five Sword Qi was extremely broad, and since the Sword Qi interconnected, there was no way to dodge between the gaps.

This sword’s power was immense; even a group of Late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists would be annihilated instantly.

“Moon Breaking!”

Lin Xuan placed the Wind Shadow Sword horizontally in front of him, slightly crouching down before rapidly sweeping across.

Moonlight Sword Qi surged out, sweeping across heaven and earth as if a full moon skimmed the ground.

Boom!

The two Sword Qi collided, exploding in the center and quickly forming a terrifying energy sphere that enveloped all around.

“Lin Xuan, you are quite good!”

“But the next moves won’t be so simple!”

Zhou Jianying ascended into the air, her Sword Intent becoming more condensed.

Soon, that Sword Intent surpassed Eighty Percent.

The heavens and earth trembled as if a Divine Sword was tearing the sky.

Lin Xuan bore the brunt and felt immense pressure.

“Is this?

Eighty Percent Peak Sword Intent!”

Lin Xuan took a deep breath.

Great Success Sword Intent was Ninety Percent, and Zhou Jianying’s Sword Intent had actually reached the Peak of Eighty Percent, very close to Great Success Sword Intent.

With such an attack, even Five Spirit Communication Martial Artists would have to retreat far away.

Lin Xuan focused his gaze and desperately circulated his Great Dragon Sword Intent within his body.

Although his Great Dragon Sword Intent had not reached the Peak of Eighty Percent, the aura and momentum were in no way weaker than Zhou Jianying’s.

This was quite normal, Lin Xuan’s Great Dragon Sword Intent was derived from the Great Dragon Sword, representing the Attack Saint Technique.

It could be said that his Eighty Percent Sword Intent was more terrifying than the average Swordsman’s Great Success Sword Intent.

Boom, boom, boom!

The two Sword Intents clashed again, and terrifying spatial cracks appeared in the sky.

“Damn, what kind of Sword Intent does Lin Xuan have that he can contend with Zhou Jianying’s Eighty Percent Peak Sword Intent?”

This was unbelievable, considering that there is a huge difference between Eighty Percent and the Peak of Eighty Percent, where under normal conditions, Sword Intent of the Peak of Eighty Percent could easily defeat Eighty Percent Sword Intent.

But this situation seemed ineffective against Lin Xuan.

In the crowd, Yan Shan looked at Lin Xuan’s figure with uncertain eyes.

His white wrap also trembled slightly.

“Great Dragon Sword, no doubt!

It really is that kind of Sword Intent…”

On the ancient city’s rooftop, five Venerables were also surprised; Lin Xuan’s performance had again exceeded their expectations.

“This Sword Intent is extremely fierce!” the Sword Venerable remarked solemnly, “I’ve never seen such an aggressively attacking Sword Intent.”

“Really don’t know how this kid comprehended it?”

Though Swordsmen comprehend Sword Intent that might bear the same name, the inherent essence within can vastly differ.

Lin Xuan’s was clearly one with an extremely powerful attack strength.

Seeing Lin Xuan withstand his Eighty Percent Peak Sword Intent, Zhou Jianying was also shocked.

She paused briefly, then quickly charged forward.
