Sword Spirit

Lu Xuan was too lazy to explain. He didn’t say anything to Mo Chen. Mo Chen had just hastily made a move and had managed to block his attack. Although he had been pushed back by Lu Xuan, his strength definitely wasn’t weak.

Seeing that Lu Xuan wasn’t responding, Mo Chen also didn’t waste any more words. Taking a step forward, at the same time he told the three people behind him: “You three, keep watch over him. Don’t let him run.”

Since Lu Xuan had been the first to kill a person, then Mo Chen would no longer have any scruples. Even if there were other disciples to pass by, he could say it was as revenge for Long Hai.

The qi power throughout Mo Chen’s body continuously increased. Very soon, a body refining seventh level’s strength was completely revealed. Lu Xuan’s eyes became more serious. He tightened his grip on the xuan iron sword.

Once Mo Chen’s qi power had reached its peak, he let out a loud yell and his entire body suddenly rushed forward. His speed was extremely fast. Obviously he had also used a pretty good movement skill.

In the blink of an eye, Mo Chen had rushed to right in front of Lu Xuan. Two fists shot out together. One fist went towards the chest, one fist towards the face. This time, he was prepared. The attack power couldn’t be compared to last time when he had attacked hastily.

Having been watching Mo Chen’s movements, Lu Xuan immediately felt a burst of strong qi charging over. Not daring to neglect it, the xuan iron sword went up diagonally, going from down to up, from right to left.

Although it was simple, it was very practical. If Mo Chen had been slower, although this fist would be able to hit Lu Xuan’s body, his arms were bound to become worthless.

How could Mo Chen be willing to struggle to death with Lu Xuan. With a snort, his feet suddenly stepped on the ground and his body lifted up, immediately getting out of the way of Lu Xuan’s sword. His fists’ momentum hadn’t diminished as they once again continued towards Lu Xuan.

Rushing Thunder Flash circulated, Lu Xuan’s body disappeared before Mo Chen’s fists in the blink of an eye. When he reappeared, he was already behind Mo Chen. The heavy sword swept horizontally, carrying power that was in no way inferior than Mo Chen’s.

Reversing offense and defense, Mo Chen didn’t panic. He forcefully readied yuan force in the air. Slowing his body remained in the air for a moment. In that short moment, he had dodged past Lu Xuan’s attack.

Lu Xuan returned his sword. Mo Chen landed on the ground. The two of them confronted each other. Although neither side had received any contact on their bodies or even had a direct collision of yuan force, but the fierce danger that had been there, only those two knew.

As for the fist faction’s surrounding three people, they had strange expressions flash through their eyes. They never had imagined that Lu Xuan would actually have this level of strength. He could actually exchange blows face to face with Mo Chen. They had seen the fight between the two just now, especially the last sword stroke Lu Xuan had used. If it had been them instead, most likely they would be like Long Hai and have become corpses.

Thinking back to when they had arrived, the flame striped tiger was already on its last breath. These three couldn’t help but shiver in their hearts. Could it be that the flame striped tiger had actually been beaten into that state by Lu Xuan?

The more they thought about it, the more they felt it was extremely likely. There was no else in the vicinity, and before the flame striped tiger had run away, other than a few superficial wounds, it hadn’t received any heavy injuries.

Before, because of Long Hai’s interruption, they hadn’t had time to think. Now that they were thinking, this Lu Xuan’s strength was most likely far greater than what they had known. To be able to deal serious injuries to the flame striped tiger by himself, could this sort of strength be normal? Right now they only wanted Mo Chen to successfully kill off Lu Xuan, otherwise… the three of them feared the grim possibilities.

“It looks like senior brother Mo Chen actually doesn’t have a way to deal with that Lu Xuan. Should we also go up to help?” One of the disciples asked in a low voice.

“Don’t. Senior brother Mo Chen is obsessed with face. Taking on a mere body refining fifth level Lu Xuan, he will definitely not accept our help, otherwise even if we kill this Lu Xuan, senior brother Mo Chen will also be angry with us.”

“That’s right, that’s right. I saw that senior brother Mo Chen hadn’t used all of his strength just now. Just wait. Even if that Lu Xuan is stronger, how could he be senior brother Mo Chen’s opponent? Senior brother Mo Chen is the overall standings number thirty-one.”

“That’s true. Senior brother Mo Chen is a whole two level highers than Lu Xuan. Even just consuming energy will be enough to kill him.”

As the three were whispering among themselves, Mo Chen also spoke: “You’re stronger than I thought. It seems the rumors weren’t exaggerated. You indeed are a combat genius. If I let you continue to grow, the sword faction really might be able to rise again. However, since it’s that way, I cannot allow you to live even more. Bumping into me, even if you’re more of a genius, you will still die by my hand.”

“Anyone can brag. Bring out some real ability.” Lu Xuan stared at Mo Chen as he spoke.

Although the two of them were saying this, their nerves were all tense. Then they readied themselves for the next round.

“Then let me show you my Mountain Breaking Fist’s might!” As soon as Mo Chen spoke, his entire body began to move along with his movement skill. In the blink of an eye he had rushed in front of Lu Xuan. There was the sound of an explosion as many punches were thrown out in a moment with fist force that seemed powerful enough to tear open the air. Several waves of qi completely enveloped Lu Xuan aiming for his vulnerabilities.

Lu Xuan who had been preparing for Mo Chen’s attack moved his hand and swung the xuan iron sword, similarly sending out numerous sword strokes. The same amount of sword qi also exploded out.

He was using the Blinking Sword Skill’s profound meanings while wielding the xuan iron sword!

The heavy eighty-one kilogram xuan iron sword would be very difficult to wield and swing for normal martial artists, much less wielding a heavy sword to perform a quick sword’s attack moves. Although the speed wasn’t as fast as a long sword, there were advantages. There was a decrease in speed in exchange for a much more powerful force!

“Bang bang bang bang!”

Sword qi and fist force collided and issued a series of explosive noises with powerful recoil sending both sides back. Lu Xuan retreated three steps and Mo Chen took three and a half steps.

The reason for it being three and a half was because he was originally going to be pushed back four steps, but when Mo Chen saw Lu Xuan only retreated three steps, he actually forcefully took back that step. He had always been prideful. Facing an enemy who had lower strength, how could he show weakness?

But because of this, the remaining attack force could only be borne by his body. The back of his throat was sweet with the taste of blood as it rushed into his throat, but he forcefully swallowed it back down. He had received some internal injuries.

In a competition of pure strength, he had already lost by half a move. Aware that Lu Xuan’s power was actually stronger than his, Mo Chen immediately became angry and made his move again while at the same time shouting, “I want to see if you can handle my next few moves!”

Two fists continuously attacked, one fist after another aimed at Lu Xuan. He was confident that he had much more yuan force than Lu Xuan and was prepared to make it a war of consumption. To be able to force him to that step, Lu Xuan already had reason to be proud.

But why would that be Lu Xuan’s limit?

Facing Mo Chen’s barrage of attacks, he suddenly burst out with yuan force and the xuan iron sword similarly continuously attack. One sword qi after another continuously was sent out, refusing to show any weakness.

After so long, why would Lu Xuan fear him? He had the possibly Heaven grade cultivation technique Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic on his body. Other than the enemy being far above his level, when just relying on yuan force, Lu Xuan wasn’t afraid of anyone.

The sound of exploding yuan force endlessly rocked the ears. Strength qi radiated into the surroundings and some of the smaller plants in the surrounding suffered the attacks of the strength qi and were cut down. Even some of the enormous trees had marks left over.

The three people watching the fight from the side currently had no way of getting close to the two. Each of them continuously moved back in order to not get hurt by the strength qi.

“Is this Lu Xuan really only body refining fifth level? Senior brother Mo Chen is using his full force to act and can’t deal with him?!” A disciple said in shock. Right now, even an idiot could tell that Mo Chen had brought out 100% of his strength and had even prepared for a war of attrition, but he still couldn’t deal with Lu Xuan.

“You three blockheads are still watching? Still not coming to help?!” Mo Chen suddenly said angrily.

He discovered Lu Xuan’s sword qi was nigh endless and wasn’t inferior to his at all. He was also about to reach his limits while Lu Xuan still wasn’t even breathing too hard. If that continued, the person who lost would probably be him.

Although he couldn’t accept this outcome, he still had to face the reality before him. The so-called arrogance and face weren’t worth much in front of life or death. Immediately he called out to make those three help him.

Hearing Mo Chen taking the initiative to call them, the three didn’t dare to ignore it. They all went forward, each circulating yuan force, and charged towards Lu Xuan. Even Mo Chen had put down his posturing to ask for help. The situation had already reached an extremely ugly step.

“Coming together? Then come!” Lu Xuan yelled loudly. He whipped up the xuan iron sword and swung it horizontally. A circular sword qi swept at the four of them simultaneously, forcing them back.

And just at this moment, the xuan iron sword suddenly disappeared and the Lovesick sword appeared in Lu Xuan’s hands.

When simultaneously facing the combined attacks of a body refining seventh level and three body refining sixth level disciples, wielding the heavy xuan iron sword wasn’t suitable. Although its force was enormous, circulating it around wasn’t as flexible as the Lovesick sword.

Lu Xuan’s change in sword surprised Mo Chen and the other three for a moment. They didn’t know what he intended to do.

“Before you all die, let me show you all my quick sword!” Lu Xuan’s voice had just come out when his entire person suddenly became a blur. After exchanging the xuan iron sword to the Lovesick sword, Lu Xuan’s weight was reduced by a lot, and in turn his speed increased by a lot.

The real Blink Sword Skill came out!

In the blink of an eye, there was a series of eight sword attack, piercing the four people.

Feeling the extreme quickness of the sword strokes, Mo Chen had no time to make a move. He brought his two fists together and could only use the gloves he had to try and block. As for the other three, how could they have the same reaction speed as Mo Chen. Each person had blood gushing out of two places. One from between their eyebrows and one from their chest.

Under the might of one sword, three people died!

Seeing the three bodies hit the ground, Mo Chen suddenly froze in place. His mind was blank. This Lu Xuan was actually this strong? Could it be, that this was his real strength and he had still been hiding some in reserve during their fight? He had difficulty accepting this result…

Letting the mind wander during a fight with Lu Xuan was undoubtedly the same as looking for death.

After the first sword, Lu Xuan didn’t pause. Rushing Thunder Flash circulated and he immediately came behind Mo Chen. He still didn’t understand why Lu Xuan had suddenly become so strong when the sword tip of the Lovesick sword tunneled through his chest. This time, he could feel his life quickly passing away…
