Lin Xu said in a deep voice, "As expected. After all, the four immortal slaying swords are Divine Artifacts, and you and I are just Mortals. Controlling the Immortal Slaying Power is like a child fighting an adult; it's not that simple."

"I have a quarter of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation diagram. You should have it too, right?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said softly, "I do."

Lin Xu continued, "Setting up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation requires the Dual Sword Combination, where the four Immortal Slaying Powers merge into one. That difficulty will be even higher. We're now trying the Dual Sword Combination; if we succeed, it will pave the way for the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was startled.

"Senior Brother Lin Xu, you're thinking too far ahead! The Immortal Trapping Sword and the Immortal Decapitating Sword are nowhere to be found, and we don't know when they'll appear. Yet, you're already planning the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation."

Lin Xu chuckled, "We're still young, with infinite possibilities. Who knows what will happen in the future? If we can successfully set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, we can slay gods. It's good to have ideals; what if they come true someday?"

Lu Xingchen said with a wry smile, "But right now, we can't even achieve Dual Sword Combination."

Lin Xu said in a deep voice, "Then let's keep trying. If it doesn't work once, we'll try ten million times. In the process of fusing the two Immortal Slaying Powers, our control over the immortal slaying sword will also continuously improve, with endless benefits."

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll listen to Senior Brother Lin Xu!"

"But before trying again, let's put on our armor. Let's not get cut by the immortal slaying sword again. That's too much trouble!"

On the peak of Lingyuan Peak, two teenagers, fully armored, constantly fiddled with two long swords, which looked a bit comical.

But when the Dual Sword Combination truly appeared, everyone on the Tianyuan Continent would be shocked by the two.

Just like that, a month passed.

The two of them focused on only one thing: fusing the Immortal Slaying Power.

From the initial friction between the two Immortal Slaying Powers to their peaceful coexistence and then their complete Fusion, it was all the result of their combined efforts.

On the peak of Lingyuan Peak, Lu Xingchen and Lin Xu retracted their two spirit swords.

They no longer wore armor because they could now perfectly fuse the two Immortal Slaying Powers without getting cut.

Lu Xingchen said with a smile, "Senior Brother Lin Xu, this fused Immortal Slaying Power is simply too powerful. I feel like I could even challenge a Saint Realm expert. But unfortunately, after the Fusion, we two can't activate it."

"Once the two swords separate, this power will immediately dissipate."

Lin Xu said in a deep voice, "It must be that our Realm is too low, and we can't control such powerful energy yet. There are only two ways to control this fused Immortal Slaying Power."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart filled with joy.

He had originally been somewhat disheartened, having spent a month in seclusion with no results, but he didn't expect Lin Xu to still be able to suggest two methods.

"Tell me!"

Lin Xu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "The first method is for both you and me to enter the Saint Realm. Once we master Power of Law, controlling the Immortal Slaying Power will be much easier."

"The second method is to improve our synergy. If we can achieve unity of mind in battle, the fused Immortal Slaying Power will be easier to control."

Lu Xingchen said with a wry smile, "Let's forget about the first one for now. The Saint Realm is still too far away for us. The second one also requires time to hone, but at least there's some hope."

Lin Xu nodded slightly, "In the coming days, I'll stay by your side. We'll consistently practice sword techniques together, and our synergy will eventually reach its peak."

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "That's the only way. I promised my Second Senior Brother to take him back to the Demon Domain to form a contract with a Prodigy of the Netherworld Clan. It's been delayed for so long; it's time to fulfill the promise. Senior Brother Lin Xu, why don't you come with me to the Demon Domain for some fun!"

Lin Xu nodded slightly, "Sounds good! But before we leave, I want to have a fight with you."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow.

"The fastest way to understand someone is to fight them?"

Lin Xu nodded slightly, "You're quite quick-witted, kid."

Lu Xingchen said with a smile, "Then let's go!"

"Are we only comparing sword techniques, or are all methods allowed?"

"I'm rather greedy; I practice both spirit and martial arts. If we only compare sword techniques, I might not be a match for Senior Brother Lin Xu. But if all means are allowed, it would be quite difficult for Senior Brother Lin Xu to defeat me."

Lin Xu chuckled, "Of course, all means are allowed. We should treat every battle as a life-and-death struggle to progress faster. However, let's not use the immortal slaying sword; that thing is too destructive."

"If one party surrenders, the other stops immediately, alright?"

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily, "Naturally!"

Lin Xu chuckled, "Then, the battle begins now!"

"I say, Divine Descent!"

"I say, Heavenly Spirit!"

"Moon Gazing Art!"

Lu Xingchen immediately activated two secret techniques. His Realm also increased from One-Star Martial Venerable to Five-Star Martial Venerable, matching Lin Xu.

Lin Xu was, after all, one of the famous eight prodigies of the central province. Facing him, Lu Xingchen dared not be careless in the slightest, going all out from the start.

Lu Xingchen knew that Lin Xu's true combat power was definitely above Five-Star Martial Venerable. If he didn't use secret techniques, he wouldn't stand a chance.

Lin Xu also let out a low roar.

"Wind Spirit Art!"

His Aura also began to climb, and his Realm increased from Five-Star Martial Venerable to Seven-Star Martial Venerable.

At this, Lu Xingchen was dumbfounded.

"Huh? You have a secret technique too?"

Lin Xu chuckled, "Otherwise? But my secret technique isn't as powerful as yours; it can only barely increase my Rank by two minor Realms. Junior Brother Xingchen, I've always had great confidence in you. When fighting you, I'll never be careless in the slightest!"

Lu Xingchen frowned tightly.

The Rank system on the Tianyuan Continent was strict; even a small difference in Realm meant a huge disparity in strength. He was now two minor Realms lower than Lin Xu, a bad start!

Moreover, Lin Xu definitely had other trump cards. The game had just begun!

Lu Xingchen didn't hesitate, summoning his Fused Spirit Fire, which transformed into a milky-white long sword, and charged towards Lin Xu.

Lin Xu also used his fighting Qi to conjure a long sword and stepped forward.

As soon as the two clashed, Lu Xingchen sensed something was wrong.

Lin Xu's speed was simply too fast!

He was one of the few people Lu Xingchen had encountered on the Tianyuan Continent who could suppress him in a single ability.

Although the long sword transformed from Lu Xingchen's Fused Spirit Fire was powerful, it had no chance of striking Lin Xu.

On the other hand, Lin Xu attacked Lu Xingchen's vital points with three swords per second.

However, just after they clashed, more than a dozen wounds appeared on Lu Xingchen's body.

Fortunately, Lu Xingchen had Dragon Power protecting his body, and fortunately, Lin Xu didn't use the immortal slaying sword. The wounds were filled by Dragon Power the moment they appeared, no blood seeped out, and it didn't affect his combat power.
