Chapter 304: Chapter 285: Rise to Fame in a Single Battle! (4K)
Two sword intents, elevated to their extremes, collided, and shockwaves of endless sword qi spread in all directions with every blow—the earth shattered, trees snapped, and mountains crumbled. Within a hundred miles, everything succumbed to ruin.
The Pavilion Master of Star Pavilion, the Sect Master of Dragon Tiger Sect, and the Empress of Great Martial, among other powerhouses, all showed signs of deep emotion.
The strength Lu Changsheng displayed had reached their level.
Many sword cultivators hurriedly took this opportunity to comprehend the supreme sword skills used by Lu Changsheng and Sun Jian.
The swordsmanship that Lu Changsheng and Sun Jian wielded surpassed their knowledge, and to them, it was an ultimate treasure.
With just a brief glimpse, they had already gained profound insights.
Swordsmanship of such caliber should not exist in this realm.
“How can the Sect Leader of Mount Shu possess such cultivation…”
The father and son of the Dragon Tiger Sect were greatly shaken.
They hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to possess strength that matched Sun Jian’s, and in the realm of the Sword Dao, he even seemed to have a slight edge over Zhong Zhou’s top sword cultivator.
“Damn it.”
Zhang Sheng clenched his fists.
With his master Lu Changsheng showcasing peak Unity Realm strength, if he wished to confront Mount Shu, he had to be wary of both Lu Changsheng and Monk Wu Le, two great masters of the Unity Realm.
With Lu Changsheng as his master, even the Pavilion Master of Star Pavilion had to regard Shen Xiaoyao with new respect.
Now, Shen Xiaoyao’s background was no less impressive than Zhang Sheng’s.
Everyone held their breath and focused their attention as the two sword intents collided violently. At the peak of their confrontation, the intensity swiftly declined amid a storm of flying sand and rocks.
As the dust gradually cleared, Lu Changsheng’s figure became visible. He was kneeling on the ground, using the Demon-Suppressing Sword to support his body, his complexion pale.
“Could it be that the Sect Leader of Mount Shu has been defeated?”
“To be able to clash with Sun Jian in swordsmanship is already an incredible feat. To create his own Sacred Tier swordsmanship is something extremely rare, seen perhaps once in a million years. Given time, he might become the strongest in this realm.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s poor complexion, people thought that he had been defeated.
Even so, with this battle, Lu Changsheng had made a name for himself and earned everyone’s recognition.
To create Sacred Tier swordsmanship in the Unity Realm, such talent was sufficient to look down upon the world.
“Master!”
Lin Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, and Mo Huazhi planned to rush to the Martial Arts Platform to check on Lu Changsheng’s condition.
“Do not come up here, your master is fine.”
Lu Changsheng stood up, took an elixir pill, and restored his True Qi.
Thousand Swords Manor truly was worthy of Zhong Zhou’s title as the number one sword cultivator Sect, with Sect Master Sun Jian reaching a high realm of Sword Dao.
“Sect, Sect Master!”
As the dust entirely settled, the Elders and disciples of Thousand Swords Manor were in panic.
Surrounding Sect Master Sun Jian on the ground were innumerable ravines created by formless sword qi.
Zhong Zhou’s top sword cultivator, Sun Jian, had been bested in his most proficient field!
The Supreme Elders of Thousand Swords Manor appeared on the Martial Arts Platform without delay, checking Sun Jian’s breath. Finding that he had not been killed by Lu Changsheng, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Sun Jian, being the one with the Spirit Sword Physique and the greatest talent in Thousand Swords Manor, was the reason he became the Manor’s master.
If Sun Jian were killed, the Manor’s strength would undoubtedly fall by at least one level.
“Hisss…”
Powerful representatives of major Sects across all states had not expected this turn of events, with Sun Jian, perceived as the sure victor, defeated, and the underdog Sect Leader of Mount Shu narrowly triumphant.
By this reasoning, with his superior sword skills, Lu Changsheng possessed the combat power of a peak Unity Realm warrior.
“This is a formidable adversary.”
The Pavilion Master of Star Pavilion wore a stern expression. As Lu Changsheng was in the upper half of the competition and he was in the lower half, they might well end up facing each other.
“This just got interesting.”
Empress Wu Yue of Great Martial was also in the upper half. She had not expected Lu Changsheng to possibly become a formidable opponent in the upper half.
The Sect Master of Profound Heaven Sect, wearing a broad-brimmed hat and cloaked in a black robe, shot a sharp glance at Lu Changsheng.
The Sect Master of Dragon Tiger Sect was unsure of what to think.
As a part of the lower half, before the Sect Master of Dragon Tiger Sect could confront Lu Changsheng, he needed to vanquish formidable enemies like Xia Ningxue, the Pavilion Master of Star Pavilion, and the Sect Master of Profound Heaven Sect.
With the towering figure of the Pavilion Master of Star Pavilion ahead, he most likely would not have the chance to cross swords with Lu Changsheng.
If he wanted to avenge his son, he would have to look for trouble with Mount Shu in private.
The people of Thousand Swords Manor left with their Sect Master, as many of the Manor’s Elders glared fiercely at Lu Changsheng.
As Lu Changsheng had defeated their master in front of the powerhouses of major Sects from all the states, he had made an enemy with Thousand Swords Manor, and their grudge was set.
Lu Changsheng, having slightly recovered his True Qi, sheathed the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
“Cough cough, in the sixth round’s first match, the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng, is victorious and advances to the seventh round!”
The Supreme Elder who was presiding over the Zhong Zhou Grand Conference was also shocked by the outcome of the match and after hesitating for a while, still incredulously announced the results.
Lu Changsheng smoothly entered the top sixteen, while Sun Jian, who was thought to at least make it to the top eight, was stopped at the thirty-two!
“Sect Leader Lu, I am the Sect Master of Mysterious Lady Sect. After the conclusion of the Zhong Zhou Grand Conference, I wish to discuss the Sword Dao with you in private; I hope you will be gracious enough to instruct me.”
A female Sect Master of the Unity Realm’s seventh tier, proactively conveyed her thoughts to Lu Changsheng through a secret message, her beautiful eyes brimming with admiration.
In this realm, the only known Sacred Tier sword techniques are the Sect-Defending Skill “Selfless Sword Technique” of Thousand Swords Manor and the “Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Swordsmanship” created by Lu Changsheng.
The Selfless Sword Technique is the sect-defending skill of Thousand Swords Manor, the signature attraction for talent from all states, and thus will not be disclosed easily.
However, the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Swordsmanship was created by Lu Changsheng himself, and if he were willing, he could possibly teach it to others.
