Two Chengying clones, each wielding a Chengying sword, attacked Bai Ze from left and right.
This ti, Lu Ping took the initiative and launched the attack first.
"Chengying Sword Form."
Seeing the two Chengying clones attacking, Bai Ze rely glanced and recognized the origin of this technique.
His body did not move, remaining steadfast in place.
Lu Ping and Elder Jiang watched as Bai Ze lifted his forehoof and stomped it heavily on the ground.
A loud boom.
A massive force, centered on where he stomped, surged outward in all directions.
This power, like a powerful shockwave, swept over the two Chengying clones in an instant.
The two Chengying clones shattered like glass, scattering into a rain of light, losing their combat effectiveness.
Bai Ze's stomp easily neutralized Lu Ping's attack.
"The power of the Third-Layer Nascent Soul is indeed formidable."
Lu Ping narrowed his eyes, assessing Bai Ze's strength.
These Chengying clones, though not reaching Nascent Soul stage, were comparable to the peak Golden Core Stage once Lu Ping's cultivation reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Yet before Bai Ze, this was rely insignificant.
Deciding not to use Chengying clones anymore, Lu Ping stood in mid-air, remotely controlling the Cyan Cloud Sword and slashing toward Bai Ze.
Red Sky Sword Qi soared to the heavens, and Cyan Cloud Sword Intent surged violently, the two forces not conflicting but rather rging, slashing toward Bai Ze.
This ti, Bai Ze moved, using instant teleportation to dodge the attack from the Cyan Cloud Sword, reappearing several dozen feet away.
The Celestial Derivation Dual Swords were summoned, rapidly closing in on Lu Ping from both sides.
Lu Ping dared not be careless, using his agile body technique to dodge, narrowly escaping the strike.
Thus, the two engaged in a series of exchanges using their flying swords for over a dozen rounds.
Through these exchanges, Lu Ping realized the gap in strength between himself and Bai Ze was still apparent.
A gap of two small realms was indeed not easy to bridge.
"Both responding with sword techniques, Bai Ze also knows the Flying Sword Technique."
Elder Jiang, watching the battle, couldn't help but express his admiration as he watched.
Bai Ze wielded the Celestial Derivation Dual Swords with seamless fluidity, leaving no room for error.
The strikes of the Celestial Derivation Dual Swords had no superfluous movents; each flight path and attack direction was just right, wasting no magical power.
To achieve this, one must be extrely familiar with and adept at the art of wielding flying swords.
Bai Ze must have cultivated the way of the Sword Cultivator, at least a Sword Dao expert.
In contrast,
Lu Ping's attainnt in Sword Cultivation was clear and well-understood by Elder Jiang.
Even with a difference of two small realms from Bai Ze, Lu Ping's grasp of the Sword Dao helped bridge much of the gap.
In the flying sword competition, Lu Ping faced Bai Ze for sixteen or seventeen rounds without falling behind.
Scarlet Sky, Chengying, Ta'e, Zhanlu, and other of the Six Great Sword Forms, were displayed one by one in Lu Ping's hand, each accompanied by the other, a scene that left Elder Jiang wide-eyed.
Six Sword Forms, Six Abilities.
For instance, the Zhanlu Sword Form consud very little of Lu Ping's magical power, capable of exerting a force that overca rigidity with flexibility, occasionally countering the power of the Celestial Derivation Dual Swords.
During this process, when Lu Ping displayed the seventh sword form, Fish Guts Sword Form, Bai Ze exclaid in surprise.
"You have also mastered the Fish Guts Sword Form."
Lu Ping rely smiled slightly and nodded.
After the Fish Guts Sword Form, Lu Ping continued by displaying the eighth and even the ninth sword form, making Bai Ze increasingly astonished by Lu Ping's strength, wondering how he had mastered more than six sword forms!
As for the tenth sword form, the Xuanyuan Sword Form, Lu Ping exhibited it without reservation, his figure moving in the void, sotis displaying effects similar to instant teleportation, vanishing into the void, and reappearing nearby.
"What is this divine technique?"
Lu Ping's display of the Xuanyuan Sword Form caught even Elder Jiang's attention.
She was unaware of the Xuanyuan Sword Form's existence and found it quite miraculous.
"Good boy, I didn't expect you to be hiding so much!"
Upon seeing Lu Ping use the tenth sword form, Bai Ze's tone beca unstable, looking at Lu Ping as if observing a genius.
Thus, after over fifty rounds, Lu Ping gradually began to fall behind.
By this ti, Bai Ze had figured out Lu Ping's attack pattern and, leveraging his superior cultivation, began to gain the upper hand.
The two Celestial Derivation Immortal Swords, along with the Cyan Cloud Sword, each displayed their divine might, and by the ninety-first round, the Cyan Cloud Sword was knocked down, humming and ringing.
Lu Ping's expression hardened as he remotely recalled the Cyan Cloud Sword, surrounded by the Nine Great Sword Forms, condensing into nine different Immortal Swords.
He seed like a Sword Immortal descending onto the mortal world, his robes billowing without wind, fluttering and flapping.
"Hmm, to withstand for so long with your just-broken Nascent Soul Stage strength under my hand, your ability is indeed impressive."
At this point, Bai Ze too had no further intent to attack, recalling the Celestial Derivation Dual Swords, his gaze falling on Lu Ping with admiration.
"Your ability is enough to make you proud."
With a slight smile, Bai Ze's tone carried a hint of gentleness.
Having spent over three years with Lu Ping, they had beco familiar, lacking the hostility of their first eting and always remaining wary of Lu Ping.
The Cyan Cloud Sword and the Celestial Derivation Dual Swords returned to their respective owners almost simultaneously.
Lu Ping controlled the slight floating of the Cyan Cloud Sword, glanced at it, then looked at Bai Ze, showing a faint smile.
"Thank you, elder, for holding back."
"My ability is rely a petty trick before you, elder. If we were to continue, I certainly wouldn't be a match for you."
Lu Ping said.
Through this battle, Lu Ping realized the gap between the Third-Layer Nascent Soul and himself.
Although he exchanged over a hundred rounds with Bai Ze, seemingly with the power to retaliate, it was because Bai Ze restrained his full strength and gradually exerted his true strength.
It was not an all-out attack from the start.
Indeed, this was Bai Ze probing Lu Ping's strength.
If it were truly a life-and-death battle, Bai Ze would not have restrained his hand.
"With your ability, while you can't defeat , surpassing a Second-Layer Nascent Soul creature is entirely feasible."
Bai Ze judged.
