At this moment, Nalan Xin's face darkened slightly. Her consecutive attacks were all blocked by Lu Ren, unable to harm him in the slightest.
"Great Serpent Slash!"
Nalan Xin furrowed her brows, unleashing the power of all six spiritual apertures within her body. Clenching her fists, her entire body transformed into a snake-like figure, aiming to bite and attack Lu Ren lethally.
At this moment, Lu Ren felt that his martial skills were too low in power. Despite achieving perfection in practice, his strength still couldn't match up to superior martial skills at the master level.
"My cultivated martial skills are still inferior!"
Lu Ren shook his head inwardly, then unleashed the power of all seven spiritual apertures, delivering a fierce Tiger Fist attack at full force.
Boom!
The fist palms of both clashed fiercely, creating a loud sound that shook the entire arena.
Whoosh!
Both figures staggered backward, with Nalan Xin retreating dozens of steps while Lu Ren only took two steps back.
Whoosh!
Before Nalan Xin could stabilize herself, Lu Ren took a step forward like a spirit cat leaping and pounced at her, landing a punch that sent Nalan Xin flying off the arena and crashing down below.
"Haha, excellent!"
The Grand Elder's eyes lit up, applauding enthusiastically.
Xie Kuang smirked and said politely, "Elder Meng, your Qingyun Sect has indeed found a treasure. But saying he has divine-grade bloodline, isn't that a bit too much?"
"In just one month, reaching mastery in three martial skills at the disciple level is something not even a seventh-grade bloodline genius can achieve. If not a divine-grade bloodline, then what is it?"
The Grand Elder chuckled.
"Hmph!"
Xie Kuang snorted coldly and said, "Then let our sixth-grade bloodline from our sect compete against your sect's divine-grade bloodline, and see who is stronger!"
Chu Feiyang had already noticed that like him, Lu Ren had also activated seven spiritual apertures. The punch that defeated Nalan Xin just now was obviously much stronger.
After defeating Nalan Xin, Lu Ren turned his gaze towards Chu Feiyang and said, "Chu Feiyang, dare to battle?"
With those words, the crowd couldn't help but be shocked.
No one had expected that Lu Ren would challenge Chu Feiyang in public. This was the successor of the Ghost Sword, and to be chosen as such was not as simple as having sixth-grade talent.
Chu Feiyang also didn't expect that Lu Ren would dare to challenge him publicly. He smiled and said, "Alright, take a rest first!"
"Okay!"
Lu Ren nodded and began to rest on the arena.
The time it took to drink a cup of tea passed.
Chu Feiyang also stepped slowly to the center of the arena, standing ten meters away from Lu Ren.
Chu Feiyang looked at Lu Ren and said, "Your Qingyun Sect really has some strategies. Being able to open seven spiritual apertures in two months and master three disciple-level martial skills, your bloodline is at least sixth-grade!"
"I only have a mediocre bloodline!" Lu Ren replied.
"Since you are carrying a long sword, then draw your sword. Let's see whose swordsmanship is stronger, yours or mine!"
As the words fell, Chu Feiyang drew a long sword from behind him, and a dazzling sword light burst forth, with flashing sword lights enveloping Lu Ren.
Lu Ren drew the Fire Spirit Sword from behind him and, using basic swordsmanship, unleashed a series of more than ten slashes, directly attacking back.
Clang clang clang!
The two long swords fiercely clashed, emitting bright sparks and obscuring their figures, with only sparks flying around.
In their clash of swordsmanship, they hardly displayed any powerful sword techniques, just the collision of basic swordsmanship, with speed pushed to the limit. Any slight mistake could be fatal.
The disciples around, witnessing this intense clash, were secretly shocked. They couldn't believe that basic swordsmanship could be cultivated to such a proficient level.
How could they resemble cultivators of the Qi Refining Realm?
Even cultivators of the Spirit River Realm would find it difficult to exhibit such sword skills.
In the VIP seats, all the elders took a sharp breath.
"This is incredible. I never expected both of them to be able to perform basic swordsmanship at this level!"
"Basic swordsmanship is nothing more than chopping, slashing, thrusting, and picking. Only through true diligent practice can one reach this level!"
"In this battle, who do you think will win?"
The discussions of the crowd did not affect the two at all, and their battle became even fiercer.
"Inner Ghost Sword Technique, first move, Iron Strike!"
Even Chu Feiyang was surprised by Lu Ren's formidable swordsmanship, as Lu Ren managed to withstand his continuous attacks. Without hesitation, Chu Feiyang executed an outstanding strike.
Furrowing his brows, Lu Ren's Fire Spirit Sword stirred frantically, condensing into a point before fiercely countering.
"Sky Phenomenon Sword Technique, second move, Unscatter!"
Boom!
The blade of the Fire Spirit Sword directly clashed harshly with the blade of Chu Feiyang's black iron sword.
Clang!
The sound of clashing iron rang out as Chu Feiyang was pushed back a few steps by the impact.
"Sky Phenomenon Sword Technique, first move, Trace Movement!"
Lu Ren dashed forward, his long sword moving like a snake, aiming straight at Chu Feiyang's chest, piercing cunningly with an unpredictable sword technique.
"Inner Ghost Sword Technique, second move, Shadow Sword!"
Seizing the brief moment, Chu Feiyang continuously waved his black sword, sending over a dozen sword shadows fiercely stabbing forward.
"He even mastered the Shadow Sword of the Inner Ghost Sword Technique! Chu Feiyang has truly achieved a remarkable feat!"
Observing this scene, Yun Qingyao furrowed her brows, her expression turning solemn.
Although she was surprised that Lu Ren had mastered two moves of the Sky Phenomenon Sword Technique, the current situation seemed unfavorable for him.
After a few swords, Lu Ren found his peculiar strikes being blocked, followed by a series of sword shadows bombardment.
"Surrender!"
Chu Feiyang roared angrily, his sword thrusting faster and faster, a barrage of sword shadows enveloping Lu Ren's head.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Lu Ren continuously defended with his sword, but he realized that the opponent's strength was exceeding his limit, and his Fire Spirit Sword was sent flying out of his hand.
Backtracking several steps, Lu Ren was pushed back by the force.
"You've lost!"
With a leap, Chu Feiyang gathered countless sword shadows and fiercely pierced towards Lu Ren.
"It's the third move of the Inner Ghost Sword Technique, Fusion Sword!"
"Chu Feiyang, as a descendant of the Ghost Sword, has cultivated the Fusion Sword at such a young age!"
"In this battle, Lu Ren is likely to lose!"
"Lu Ren's ability to hold on for so many rounds is already impressive!"
Amidst the crowd's exclamations, a pitch-black sword light gleamed as Chu Feiyang's sword thrust toward Lu Ren.
At this moment, Lu Ren was unarmed, with no possibility of evasion, except to endure it without any other way.
Seeing this, Lu Ren gritted his teeth and took out the Tuo She Blood Jade from his body, gripping it tightly in his hand, and fiercely smashed it towards the oncoming sword.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the long sword in Chufei Yang's hand was shattered and flew out, his whole person retreating repeatedly, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face showing a look of horror.
The impact just now caused him to feel a strange force invading his body, making him very uncomfortable, and suffering some internal injuries.
"That's the Tuo She Blood Jade!" Chufei Yang stared at the blood jade in Lu Ren's hand, his face filled with shock.
