Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Tu Zhongqiu frowned slightly, whispering to Gong Ze beside him, "That guy named Lu Xingyuan seems to be quite something..."

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, his cloudy eyes flashing with a sharp light, staring intently at the two figures engaged in a frenzied battle in the arena.

"He is strong, but... we all understand the significance of this battle, so how could the two on stage not understand?"

"Watch, this battle probably won't be decided until the very end."

"Besides... hehe, Brother Tu, do you think the current Great Xia Sword Sect is afraid of losing a little resource?"

Hearing this, Tu Zhongqiu turned his head to look at the back of the young man who stood as tall and straight as a sword, a smile appearing on his face as he softly said.

"The current Great Xia Sword Sect doesn't need it."

Just as the two were speaking, two figures on the arena were engaged in a frenzied battle, their movements too fast to be clearly seen.

The ground of the arena was erupting in one place after another.

Boom boom!!

Terrifying explosions rang out as the two figures crossed paths in the arena, each collision filled with a violent sense of beauty.

Lu Xingyuan, wielding the dark gold Soaring Dragon Staff, displayed fierce and swift staff techniques, both extremely fast and powerfully forceful!

Like Lu Wuhen, Lu Xingyuan was also a dual cultivator of spirit and martial arts, his physical body exceptionally strong.

However, Zhou Shiyu's physical strength was equally impressive, able to wield the three-thousand-pound heavy sword 'No Edge' with ease, his physical power was terrifying.

The two opened up their attacks with sweeping motions, possessing the power to split mountains and sever rivers!

Thump thump!! Boom!!

Zhou Shiyu spun around, using the force of his opponent's staff technique to sweep horizontally with a backhand!!

The powerful pressure of this strike directly squeezed and restricted Lu Xingyuan's movements.

Lu Xingyuan's pupils contracted, and without time to think, he bent over and thrust his staff towards Zhou Shiyu's wrist!!

The staff shot out like a spear, piercing through the void.

Zhou Shiyu's expression remained unchanged, and the instant he detected his opponent's change of move, he twisted his wrist, slamming the giant sword down on Lu Xingyuan's shoulder!!

The giant sword avoided the attack of the staff as it fell, causing the staff to strike the spine of the sword.

Using the force of this strike, it just managed to make the 'No Edge' sword, which was aimed at his shoulder, veer towards his head.

This attack startled Lu Xingyuan, who hadn't expected Zhou Shiyu's reaction to be so fast.

Moreover, his use of borrowing force was simply impenetrable, applied with masterful skill and perfection.

Even when Lu Xingyuan changed his staff technique, the opponent could still find his weak points and quickly counter.

Lu Xingyuan's face was extremely unsightly, even though his attacks were more ferocious.

The opponent remained composed and unhurried, Zhou Shiyu, clad in black robes, moved with ghost-like agility and ethereal grace.

Zhou Shiyu seemed nonchalant, but in reality, he was equally shocked.

Because he discovered that the opponent had changed his offensive rhythm four times in the short span of half an incense stick.

Whether it was the moves or the force, the changes could be described as unpredictable.

Just as Zhou Shiyu adapted to the opponent's changing rhythm, Lu Xingyuan would change again at that moment!!

Bang!!!

A style similar to a 'returning horse spear' suddenly stabbed him in the abdomen.

Terrifying power erupted, Zhou Shiyu chopped his sword down on Lu Xingyuan's shoulder, but the downward strike was blocked by the opponent's staff.

Shaking off the staff, he quickly retreated hundreds of feet.

Looking down at the bowl-sized hole in his abdomen, he couldn't help but gulp.

If he had been just a little slower, the opponent's sweeping staff would have broken him in half!!

At this moment, both of their faces were filled with solemnity, Lu Xingyuan's entire right shoulder collarbone was shattered, a bloody mess.

His right hand hung down limply, yet he still gripped the staff tightly.

Zhou Shiyu was also shaken, if he hadn't chosen to exchange injury for injury just now, but had chosen to block...

He would probably be seriously injured by now!!

"This guy... is so strong!"

Lu Xingyuan stared at Zhou Shiyu in the distance, forcibly pushing his broken collarbone back into place, his eyes filled with caution.

"You are the strongest of all the heavy sword cultivators I have ever encountered... without exception!"

"It's too rare to be able to train the heavy sword to your level."

The arena beneath their feet was now dilapidated, the powerful destructive force was truly rare.

Although the previous two battles were equally brutal, they were not as powerful as the two's battle.

The surrounding crowd, with their low strength, couldn't see the two's rain-like exchanges at all.

The transformations and attacks of the two, who were fast to the extreme, happened in an instant, whoever was slower, died!

This sense of tension and excitement in the close-quarters combat made even the Void Refinement Realm cultivators hold their breath.

"Hoo!!!"

Tu Zhongqiu clenched his teeth, staring intently at the two in the arena, and sighed, "What a dangerous fight!!"

Zhou Shiyu casually sealed the wound, and sneered, "Since that's the case, then let's stop testing each other and get serious."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately drew exclamations from the crowd.

Ji Yuchuan slowly turned his head and bowed, transmitting his voice, "Pavilion Master, in my opinion, this Lu Xingyuan still has a trump card."

"According to my investigation, this Lu Xingyuan was known as the Lu family's number one genius in a thousand years before Lu Wuhen was born!"

"He and another person from the Lu family are known as the 'Two Saint Sons of One Family', but the other person is unknown."

"Lu Xingyuan's strength should be far more than what he is showing now!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Guanqi's murmur came to Ji Yuchuan's ear.

"Mm."

Ji Yuchuan looked up at Li Guanqi and found that there was no fluctuation in Li Guanqi's eyes.

Li Guanqi said softly, "Don't worry, Zhou Shiyu... is not as simple as he looks either."

"His willpower... is very strong, possibly second only to Old Ye."

"This kind of person will either not make a promise or a choice."

"Once he agrees... this battle, we will only lose if he dies!"

Boom!!!

In between speaking, the situation on the stage changed again.

The dark gold staff in Lu Xingyuan's hand seemed to shed its skin under the infusion of his Yuan Power, and the outer layer slowly peeled off!

Lu Xingyuan was surrounded by the mysterious aura of the Spirit Ruins, and the surface of the staff was covered with a layer of dense dark gold scales.

The scales surged as if they were alive!!

"Apocalypse · Dragon蛟!"

Boom!!!

As the staff revealed its ferocious side, Lu Xingyuan's tiger eyes stared intently at Zhou Shiyu, and his whole aura instantly soared to the Half-Step Integration Realm!!

No longer concealing his power, Lu Xingyuan was obviously much more confident, looking at Zhou Shiyu and roaring in a low voice.

"Come on, go all out... and kill me!"

Lu Xingyuan was a battle maniac, hidden away by his family for a hundred years, the fighting instinct in his body completely released under the stimulation of his faintly aching wounds.

Zhou Shiyu licked his dry, bleeding lips, feeling the bloody sweetness in his mouth, his eyes equally burning with passion.

Clenching 'No Edge' in both hands, he looked back at Gu Huai, whose eyes were filled with tears and worry, the old man's shoulders shrugged slightly as he pursed his lips.

Zhou Shiyu grinned, and the violent aura around him suddenly erupted!!

A steady mountain-like force burst out from his body in an instant!!

The will to protect soared into the sky, and the terrifying sword energy tore through the firmament, and the void above his head was cut with cracks!!

"Apocalypse · Judgment!"

Boom!!!

The dark heavy sword had undergone earth-shattering changes!

The hilt transformed into the roaring shape of a dragon's head, and the spine of the sword, originally without an edge, flashed with a cold light, sharpened!!!

If the heavy sword without an edge was Zhou Shiyu's protection, then the current Sword of Judgment...

Is the strong will to kill everything in order to protect his beliefs!!

Holding the Sword of Judgment, Zhou Shiyu's momentum reached its peak, roaring out, "Let's fight!!"

Eight updates tomorrow.

Plans have changed, 9 updates tomorrow.
