Drunken Swordsman: I choose the ruthless way, why are you crying?

Chapter 53: The Supreme Merciless Slash, the fourth slash, cuts off all fear!
Langya Holy Land Martial Arts Arena.

Qin Hao and Mu Qingfeng stood opposite each other. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and even the air seemed to freeze.

The martial arts arena was crowded with disciples, who were whispering to each other, their eyes full of anticipation and excitement, watching closely the fierce duel that was about to unfold.

There were wooden chairs floating above the martial arts arena, with a group of elders from the holy land sitting on them, sizing up the two people in the arena.

Holy Lord Lin Tianxuan was also present at the scene. He sat on a high platform, his eyes fixed on his nephew Qin Hao.

His expression was serious, and he silently hoped that Qin Hao would win the duel and show extraordinary strength and style.

Although Mu Qingfeng was also a disciple cultivated by himself, Lin Tianxuan couldn't help but favor Qin Hao in front of his nephew with a miserable life experience.

On the court, Qin Hao's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, watching Mu Qingfeng's every move.

When he noticed that Mu Qingfeng was holding Qin Yu's Red Rainbow Sword, he couldn't help but frown, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "How did this Red Rainbow Sword come to be in your hand?"

Mu Qingfeng raised his lips with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "Junior Brother Qin Hao, this magic weapon was originally given to Qin Yu by me. But now, Qin Yu lost in the competition with you, and his state of mind was damaged. He is temporarily unable to control this magic weapon."

"As his senior brother, I feel that he is not worthy of possessing the Scarlet Rainbow at this time. Therefore, I will take it back. However, if you can defeat me today and prove that you have enough strength and qualifications, this magic weapon will be yours."

Qin Hao snorted coldly, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit: "There is no point in talking too much, let's see the real thing with our hands!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them moved instantly.

Qin Hao's body was as fast as lightning, and he took the lead in attacking like a phantom.

He swung the long sword in his hand, and the sword shadows were heavy, as if turning into countless silver dragons, heading straight for Mu Qingfeng.

Each sword shadow contained powerful force, bringing up gusts of wind and blowing up the surrounding dust.

“Yes, you have mastered one of the most advanced sword techniques in the holy land, the Silver Dragon Dance, to such a level.” Mu Qingfeng commented.

However, facing Qin Hao's sword moves, Mu Qingfeng was not panicked at all. He looked calm and his eyes were steady.

The Scarlet Rainbow Sword shone brightly in his hand, like a scorching sun.

He swung his sword lightly, a seemingly casual movement that accurately resolved Qin Hao's stormy attack.

Where the swords collided, sparks flew and a crisp sound was heard.

For a moment, the martial arts arena was filled with sword energy and interlaced light. The two fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

Qin Hao's swordsmanship was sharp and varied, while Mu Qingfeng relied on his profound skills and superb swordsmanship to steadily deal with Qin Hao's attacks.

Every movement he made was just right, not wasting any energy while enabling him to defend and counterattack effectively.

"I never thought that Mu Qingfeng's swordsmanship has reached the level of returning to its original simplicity."

"Yes, his swordsmanship seems plain and simple, but it actually contains mysteries. Every sword move contains a deep understanding of the way of the sword. Not bad, not bad."

The elders watched and chatted.

The fierce battle was in full swing when Mu Qingfeng's eyes suddenly focused and a powerful aura burst out from his body.

His eyes became extremely focused, and in an instant everything around him ceased to exist, leaving only the opponent in front of him.

He took a deep breath, and the red rainbow sword in his hand shone brightly. An extremely sharp sword energy gushed out from the sword and whizzed towards Qin Hao.

The sword energy was like a substance. Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

"Qin Hao, take my move!" Mu Qingfeng shouted loudly.

His voice was as loud as a bell, carrying a resolute momentum. The powerful sword energy released from the Red Rainbow Sword in his hand swept towards Qin Hao with overwhelming force.

Qin Hao's heart was shocked. The pressure brought by this powerful attack was like a mountain pressing down on his head, making him feel unprecedented pressure in an instant.

The sharp sword energy seemed to tear his soul apart, and his mind began to waver. His originally smooth movements began to slow down, and the connection between his moves was no longer so coherent, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Every time Qin Hao resisted Mu Qingfeng's attack, it seemed more and more difficult, and defeat seemed imminent.

Seeing this, Lin Tianxuan, who was floating above the martial arts arena, frowned.

Mu Qingfeng's sword moves are good at attacking the heart. If you are not careful, you are likely to be hit. Qin Hao's current situation is a manifestation of being hit.

If the fight continues, Qin Hao's mind will most likely be disturbed and his cultivation will regress.

Do you want to stop?

An idea arose in Lin Tianxuan’s mind.

However, at this critical moment, Qin Hao suddenly closed his eyes.

All the noise from the outside world seemed to fade away. In his world, only the sound of his own heartbeat and breathing, as well as the pressure that surged like a tide, remained.

He closed his eyes tightly, but his thoughts were running wild. Past experiences flashed through his mind quickly, and every setback and every breakthrough seemed like a clear picture.

He recalled that he once practiced alone on the edge of a cliff, and did not flinch in the face of violent storms.

I remember that in order to comprehend a sword technique, I stayed up for days, repeating the same movements over and over again.

Thinking back to the various sufferings he had endured in the Zhan Palace, and how he had fought his way out of the Great Wilderness...

Those moments that once made him feel fear and retreat emerged one by one, and he realized that although he had embarked on the ruthless sword path, there was still a trace of fear in his heart.

That was the inner demon that had accumulated over the past twenty years.

"I can't be bound by fear anymore!" Qin Hao shouted in his heart.

At this moment, it seemed as if a fire was burning deep in his heart, burning away all his fears.

A mysterious power surged in his body, like a long-sleeping dragon gradually awakening.

Qin Hao felt as if he was in a chaos, surrounded by endless darkness. But in the depths of the darkness, there was a faint light flickering.

He ran towards the light with all his might, every step he took was full of determination.

When he finally touched the light, a powerful force instantly filled his whole body.

He suddenly opened his eyes. There was no longer any confusion or fear in his eyes. Instead, there was only incomparable firmness and determination.

"The fourth slash of the Supreme Merciless Slash cuts through all fear!"

Qin Hao recited silently in his heart again. At this moment, he seemed to have merged with the world. The sword in his hand seemed to have life and was connected with his soul.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes revealed an incomparable determination, as bright as stars.

When Mu Qingfeng saw Qin Hao's sharp eyes, he couldn't help but pause.

Qin Hao held the magic sword horizontally in his hand, and the sword was as powerful as a bamboo breaking, carrying an unstoppable momentum and attacking towards Mu Qingfeng.

The black light on the Netherworld Demon Sword was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it, and it even illuminated the entire world.

Mu Qingfeng's face changed drastically when he saw this. He didn't expect that Qin Hao would be able to have an epiphany and break through himself at such a critical moment.

He originally thought he had a sure win, but he never expected the situation to be reversed in an instant.

Mu Qingfeng immediately raised Chihong and rushed forward with the sword.
