57: Chapter 57 A Terrifying Sword

Not only Zhou Yuanpeng.

Sun Liancheng and Wang Weidong beneath the stage also widened their eyes in astonishment, their pupils filled with disbelief.

They originally thought Xiao Xuance was already strong enough, but they didn't expect his strength to be even greater than they had imagined.

Moreover, apart from Xiao Xuance, there was also the even more unfathomable Lin Shen, who was able to hold his own against such a formidable Xiao Xuance, with both sides trading blows back and forth.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes.

On the stage.

Lin Shen's figure shuttled rapidly as thunder filled the sky, bolts of lightning striking down swiftly to continuously enhance the explosive power of Lin Shen's Thundering Sword Qi.

Amidst this storm-like thunderous offensive, Xiao Xuance pushed the power of his Physical Body to the extreme, while simultaneously aided by Spiritual Qi, forcefully charging against the all-encompassing Thundering Sword Qi with his own strength.

Both sides traded blows back and forth.

For a moment, it was hard to tell who was superior.

Within the pervasive Thundering Sword Qi, Xiao Xuance charged wildly, brandishing the long spear in his hand.

Feeling his internal qi and blood and Spiritual Qi being continuously consumed, his expression at this moment was extremely solemn.

Clearly, by fully unleashing his Physical Body cultivation, the power of his qi and blood and Spiritual Qi within him could not support him for too long.

This made Xiao Xuance secretly anxious in his heart as his gaze quietly turned toward Leng Qiuyue and Seventh Elder Xiong Dahai in the VIP seating area.

In his heart, he hoped that these two Golden Core Realm Immortal Masters from his own Shuiyue Sect would definitely not be disappointed in him.

Otherwise, all his plans would fall through.

Once without the appreciation of the Golden Core Realm, upon returning to Shuiyue Sect, his reputation would certainly rise, but as for completing the transformation of his status, he didn't know how much longer he would have to wait.

He could not afford to lose!

Absolutely not!

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Xiao Xuance once again increased the eruption of qi and blood within his body, his offensive becoming even more fierce as he continuously assaulted the all-encompassing Thundering Sword Qi unleashed by Lin Shen.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, enough is enough!"

With qi and blood erupting layer upon layer within his body, Xiao Xuance's face had already turned slightly pale as he gritted his teeth and said, "I cannot let go of this opportunity. If Fellow Daoist Lin is willing to reveal even a slight opening, Xiao Mou will surely be endlessly grateful. In the future, should Fellow Daoist Lin have any instructions, Xiao Mou will definitely go all out."

Feeling Lin Shen's terrifying strength, accompanied by the fact that his desperate charges time and again failed to injure Lin Shen, Xiao Xuance's confidence was already flagging in his heart.

He could only pray that Lin Shen would be willing to reveal a slight opening to let him win this battle.

Only then could he receive guidance from the Golden Core Realm, and only then might he be favored by Seventh Elder Xiong Dahai or Leng Qiuyue.

Hearing Xiao Xuance's secret voice transmission, Lin Shen could not help but shake his head, a faint smile hanging on the corners of his lips: "Apologies, Fellow Daoist Xiao. Cultivation is all about striving. I, Lin Mou, also desire the guidance of a Golden Core Immortal Master, so it is best for everyone to rely on their own abilities."

He hadn't completely used his full strength yet.

Xiao Xuance right now was barely holding on; for such a person to still want to negotiate with him was simply wishful thinking.

Lin Shen's figure flashed and drifted rapidly, as streams of Thundering Sword Qi continued to burst forth, also intensifying the offensive of the jinglei flying sword.

"Could Fellow Daoist Lin really want to perish together, to both suffer and end up letting others reap the benefits for free?"

Feeling Lin Shen increase the power of the Thundering Sword Qi charging toward him, Xiao Xuance became even more anxious, the consumption of Spiritual Qi and qi and blood inside his body growing increasingly large.

"Both suffer? I think not!"

Lin Shen suddenly raised his head, a flash of sharp light appearing in his eyes: "Who told you there would be mutual destruction? Fellow Daoist Xiao, aren't you underestimating Lin Mou a bit too much?"

As his voice fell.

Lin Shen immediately held back no longer.

Terrifying thunder erupted layer upon layer, wild winds howling around as the jinglei flying sword in Lin Shen's hand shuttled outward.

Awakening of Insects!

Yet another Awakening of Insects Sword strike slashed out!

Lin Shen attached all the terrifying thunder Qi of his entire body into it, causing the all-encompassing Thundering Sword Qi to rapidly condense in mid-air.

This sword strike!

Its power was unimaginably greater than before!

Likewise, it was a true Awakening of Insects Sword!

What Lin Shen practiced was the Sanyuan Qi-Guiding Technique, and he possessed a lightning Spiritual Root. Aided by the Sanyuan Qi-Guiding Technique, his entire body's Spiritual Qi was entirely lightning-attribute Spiritual Qi with extreme destructive power.

Possessing such terrifyingly destructive lightning attributes, ever since he began practicing the sword Dao, what Lin Shen pursued in terms of swordsmanship had always been ultimate speed and ultimate destruction.

With his body's Thundering Sword Qi attached to it, that jinglei flying sword was truly both fast and urgent, erupting with extremely terrifying might that directly tore apart the surrounding air.

"Dammit!!!"

Feeling this terrifying blow, Xiao Xuance could not help but feel his scalp go numb.

But the will in his heart supported him; he could not lose, he absolutely could not lose!

Even facing this doomed sword strike, Xiao Xuance still gritted his teeth and held on, pushing his entire body's qi and blood power and Spiritual Qi to the extreme, ruthlessly blasting a spear strike forward regardless of the consumption!

Spear images bloomed across the sky, then rapidly condensed.

Surrounding moisture spread, rapidly condensing upon the spear tip. A spear light burst forth, directly transforming into a giant water Dragon that roared viciously and charged out.

Such a fierce move, even facing ordinary Foundation Establishment Early Stage Realm, would still possess the strength for a battle.

But unfortunately, what he faced was Lin Shen.

What he faced was Lin Shen's Awakening of Insects Sword brought to its absolute limit!

Terrifying thunder exploded, with streams of Thundering Sword Qi attached to it, tearing apart rapidly.

Under Lin Shen's Awakening of Insects Sword, that fierce, massive water Dragon directly burst apart, and the droplets filling the sky were instantly shredded by Lin Shen's Thundering Sword Qi.

These shattered droplets of water aided the momentum of thunder, directly turning into nourishment for the Thundering Sword Qi as they charged and killed toward Xiao Xuance with an even fiercer attack.

...

"Sigh, he lost..."

In the VIP seating area, Leng Qiuyue and Seventh Elder Xiong Dahai shook their heads simultaneously with regret.

Upon seeing Lin Shen unleash the true Awakening of Insects Sword, they understood in their hearts that Xiao Xuance had already lost.

However, his Battle Intent of pressing forward bravely knowing he would lose was quite appreciated by Seventh Elder Xiong Dahai.

At present, he nodded in approval and flicked the wine cup in his hand, turning the wine directly into a piercing water arrow that charged toward the center of the stage.

Boom!!!

A terrifying explosion sounded.

The aftermath of the explosion swept outward toward the surroundings.

Lin Shen and Xiao Xuance, positioned in the center of the stage, both retreated successively.

Xiao Xuance was even more unbearable, directly spitting blood amidst the impact of this terrifying aftermath, his expression beginning to grow listless.

Originally, he was already at the end of his tether, and now facing such a terrifying explosive impact, his Physical Body support had reached its limit.

"Alright, that's enough!"

Seventh Elder Xiong Dahai directly destroyed Lin Shen's Awakening of Insects Sword, and looking at the two of them, he spoke indifferently: "The winner of this match is Lin Shen of Chiyun Valley. I believe none of the people present can be a match for Lin Shen. This so-called arena sparring can also end early!"
