When Gu Linfeng slashed out with his sword, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and a torrential rain poured down from the sky. The cataclysmic force seed poised to destroy everything.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats as they couldn't help but worry for Lin Xuan. How will he possibly resist this?
In response, Lin Xuan rely raised his palm and clenched his fist toward the void. The downpour of rain in the sky unexpectedly condensed into countless Water Swords. Each one was the size of a finger, crystal clear, and shimred with a brilliant light.
The onlookers who witnessed this exclaid in shock once again. Lin Xuan still hadn't drawn his sword. He was using his Sword Control Technique again, but this ti, he wasn't manipulating leaves—he was controlling raindrops.
Seeing this, Gu Linfeng's expression turned grim. He had been defeated by this very Sword Control Technique last ti and didn't expect his opponent to use the sa move again.
He roared in fury, unleashing his Heaven-Slashing Sword Technique to its absolute limit. He wouldn't give his opponent any chance to succeed.
RUMBLE...
Wherever his Sword Qi passed, the raindrops shattered and vanished. But Lin Xuan simply took a step forward and waved his hands. The countless Water Swords quickly gathered and rged in front of him, forming a colossal blade of Sword Qi made of water.
"Slash!"
Lin Xuan thrust both hands forward. The blade of water Sword Qi shot out, roaring like a Water Dragon.
The void thundered where it passed, leaving the onlookers completely dumbstruck. All they saw was Lin Xuan wave his hand, transforming the rain into a gigantic Flying Sword that spanned the sky and slashed forward.
This technique is too heaven-defying! How can he be a re Martial General? He's practically a young Sword Immortal! To command the rain to form a sword… an immortal descending from beyond the heavens!
The next instant, the two streams of Sword Qi collided in mid-air, exploding with an earth-shattering roar. The brilliant sword light illuminated the world.
BOOM!
With a loud crash, one of the streams of Sword Qi shattered into fragnts. A figure was sent flying backward. Soone had been defeated.
Who is it? Everyone frantically looked over. The next mont, they were stunned.
The one sent flying was, once again, Gu Linfeng!
Gu Linfeng was defeated again? The entire crowd was in shock.
At this mont, everyone was dumbfounded. So blinked hard, wondering if they were dreaming. However, the scene before their eyes clearly told them this was no dream. It was real.
How can this be happening? Chu Yue's eyes nearly popped out of her head in disbelief. He actually won again. With a single sword strike, he defeated Gu Linfeng once more! Damn it, just how strong is this Lin Xuan? Chu Yue was going mad with jealousy.
How could this happen? The Celestial King stood there, stupefied. The smile had vanished from his face. He had originally planned to imdiately strike and kill Lin Xuan after his defeat, but he never expected this outco. Lin Xuan had actually won again. It was a harsh slap to his face! He remained rooted to the spot, his expression dazed.
"This is impossible!" the people from Liuyun Country roared furiously, shaking their heads in denial. "The last defeat was just luck! A coincidence! He went all out this ti, so why did he still lose? It's an illusion! This must be an illusion! I have to be dreaming! How could Gu Linfeng possibly lose?"
Lin Xuan laughed heartily. "Luck? A coincidence? How ridiculous! I told you long ago, at the two-star level, I am invincible! Gu Linfeng is simply not my match!"
His voice was clear and resonant, spreading in all directions.
The people of Liuyun Country looked horrified, their faces flushing then turning pale as if they had been brutally slapped. They wanted to retort but couldn't, because Gu Linfeng had indeed lost. He was defeated even after giving it his all. How could they possibly argue? Their Liuyun Country had lost!
"Hahahaha, well done, Champion Marquis!" the Imperial Clan Grand Elder roared with laughter, his voice filled with excitent. He looked at the people of Liuyun Country and declared, "This is the true, unparalleled genius of our Great Xia! Have you witnessed it now? The might of our Great Xia is beyond what your Liuyun Country could ever imagine!"
The surrounding spectators finally returned to their senses, each one ecstatic.
"Hahahaha, we won! We won!"
"I told you, Great Xia is the strongest!"
"The Champion Marquis is mighty!"
"The Champion Marquis is invincible!"
"Hmph, to think they wanted to compare to the Champion Marquis. They're not even in the sa league."
"The Champion Marquis didn't even draw his sword! He defeated the top genius of Liuyun Country with just so leaves and raindrops!"
"This Liuyun Country isn't all that great after all."
At that mont, the crowd was wild with excitent.
The people of Liuyun Country all hung their heads, their expressions utterly grim. Their arrogance had been shattered, replaced by a devastating blow to their pride.
As for Gu Linfeng in the distance, he was even more disheveled and wretched. That last strike had not only sent him flying but had also injured him. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his face was pale, and his eyes were filled with a dazed disbelief.
I can't accept this. I actually lost! After giving it my all, I still lost! Was even my Heaven-Slashing Sword Technique defeated by a single strike? How can this be? How can this kid be so strong?
"Gu Linfeng, do you want another round? If you're not satisfied, I can give you another chance," Lin Xuan's voice rang out.
The entire arena fell silent. Countless eyes turned to Gu Linfeng.
Gu Linfeng raised his head, his eyes filled with unwillingness. I began practicing the sword at three and beca a Martial Artist at five, displaying imnse talent in the Sword Dao. By ten, I was a Martial General, and at fifteen, I comprehended Sword Intent. Now, I am a Grandmaster. Even ordinary veteran Grandmasters are no match for ; most can't even block a single one of my strikes. For twenty years, I have never known defeat. I was an invincible existence! An unparalleled genius! But now... I've actually lost. Lost to Lin Xuan. And I've lost to him twice! The blow was simply too great for him to bear. He could not accept it.
He forced himself to stand, his eyes bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan, however, remained unconcerned. With his hands clasped behind his back, he looked down on him and said, "If you're not satisfied, we can fight again. I'll humor you to the end."
As he spoke, the raindrops in the sky once again transford into blades of water Sword Qi and flew toward Lin Xuan. The spectacle resembled the legendary 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root' as they circled him, forming a Sword Curtain.
Upon seeing this, Gu Linfeng's pupils shrank. That technique is beyond belief! It's the stuff of legends... the technique of a Sword Immortal!
"What swordsmanship is that?" Gu Linfeng asked, unable to accept his defeat.
"It's a Sword Control Technique I acquired by chance," Lin Xuan replied.
Lin Xuan waved his hand. The Sword Qi surrounding him instantly condensed, forming a gigantic Water Sword that seed to pierce the heavens and the earth. The dark clouds above were split apart by its presence.
"My sword is invincible! Do you still want to fight?"
The arena was silent. Everyone looked up at this Supre Divine Sword, and Gu Linfeng too was shaken to his core.
His body trembled, the longsword in his hand trembled, and an imnse sense of crisis welled up in his heart. It was a premonition of death. If this fight continues, I could be killed by a single sword strike.
Gu Linfeng fell silent. Astonishingly, he no longer had the courage to fight again. After a long silence, he finally closed his eyes and said in despair, "I... have lost!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire arena erupted in shock. The geniuses of Liuyun Country were devastated. Gu Linfeng actually admitted defeat? How could this be?
The martial artists of Great Xia were thrilled.
"We won!"
"Lin Xuan won!"
"This is fantastic!"
Their cheers shook the heavens.
The people from the Heavenly Dao Institute laughed heartily, while Ye Qingwu and her group finally sighed in relief. Chu Yue collapsed in a heap, and the mbers of the Celestial King's Mansion were indignant, fearing they had lost their chance to make a move.
At this mont, Lin Xuan turned his head to look at the Second Crown Prince of the Celestial King's Mansion. He said coldly, "You said before that if I won, you would eat all the Treasure Swords."
"Now, I have won," Lin Xuan declared. With a wave of his hand, the Treasure Swords of everyone in the crowd unsheathed and flew toward the Second Crown Prince.
"Second Crown Prince, please, eat."
