Chapter 51

The Xuanwu Sword Sect and the Zhenwu Sword Sect sent a total of four elders and ten disciples this time. Whether it was the Zhenwu Sword Sect or the Xuanwu Sword Sect, they brought the top five outstanding outer sect disciples.

Quality over quantity, these five top disciples had always been able to easily defeat the Lie Tian Sword Sect's disciples. However, this year, they encountered Ling Dao, who successively defeated Ke Zhenan and Song Qingyan, and each with just one sword strike.

There were still eight disciples left, all of whom were enraged by Ling Dao and attacked him simultaneously. In fact, they also felt that attacking alone would not give them any confidence. Being able to attack together was naturally the best.

"Is this kid being too arrogant?"

"Let's be honest, the disciples of the Xuanwu Sword Sect and the Zhenwu Sword Sect are all very powerful. Can he handle fighting eight at once?"

The elders of the Lie Tian Sword Sect began to worry about Ling Dao. If it were one-on-one, with the combat strength Ling Dao had shown before, the disciples of the Xuanwu Sword Sect and the Zhenwu Sword Sect would not be his match.

However, against eight, the others had little confidence in Ling Dao. The elders of the Xuanwu Sword Sect and the Zhenwu Sword Sect were beaming with joy, grateful that Ling Dao was too arrogant; otherwise, they would have been utterly humiliated.

"True Martial Nine Swords!"

The four disciples of the Zhenwu Sword Sect each unleashed their sword techniques. Among them, the eldest outer sect disciple of the Zhenwu Sword Sect was the most powerful, turning his sword into a raging dragon that charged fiercely at Ling Dao.

"Xuanwu Sword Stele!"

The eldest outer sect disciple of the Xuanwu Sword Sect quickly swung his long sword, forming a sword stele. His goal was to block Ling Dao's sword technique, allowing the Zhenwu Sword Sect's disciples to attack Ling Dao. With their eight-person team, they had both attack and defense, and they were confident they could thoroughly defeat Ling Dao.

The four disciples of the Xuanwu Sword Sect working together caused the ground to tremble. Around them, a sudden burst of earth-yellow light appeared, as if their bodies were connected to the earth.

"Thunderbolt Shadowless Sword!"

Facing the eight outstanding disciples, Ling Dao remained calm. He took a step forward, and his long sword vanished without a trace. The arena was filled with the sound of thunder, followed by the clashing of swords.

Many outer sect disciples widened their eyes; they could not see Ling Dao's sword at all, only the sparks from the swords of the eight disciples of the Xuanwu Sword Sect and the Zhenwu Sword Sect. The Thunderbolt Shadowless Sword was powerful and fierce,无形无影.

"Qinglong!"

"Baihu!"

"Zhuque!"

"Kui Niu!"

Seeing that Ling Dao could actually engage in battle with them, the sword techniques of the four disciples of the Zhenwu Sword Sect changed. The eldest outer sect disciple of the Zhenwu Sword Sect's long sword transformed into a Qinglong, emitting a faint dragon's roar.

Another outer sect disciple of the Zhenwu Sword Sect's long sword transformed into a Baihu, radiating an overwhelming aura. Then, a Zhuque appeared, its fiery red light illuminating half of the training ground. The last disciple's sword technique transformed into a Kui Niu, its roar like thunder and its gaze like the sun and moon.

Qinglong, Zhuque, Baihu, and Kui Niu were all extremely terrifying beasts. If real Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Kui Niu appeared, not only would Ling Dao be in trouble, but the entire Anshan County would be bathed in blood and littered with corpses.

"What a terrifying sword technique! If I were to face any one of them, I would not be a match. I never thought that in just half a month, his strength has become so formidable!"

"I originally thought that in half a month, my sword speed had surpassed his. But now, not only have I not surpassed him, the gap is growing even larger!"

Li Shengxiong and Xie Ling'er exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. They thought they had caught up to Ling Dao, but the gap was only getting wider. While they were improving, Ling Dao was improving even more.

"Seven Styles of the Blazing Sun!"

The Seven Styles of the Blazing Sun that Ling Dao was now using was the lower-grade sword technique awarded as the first prize in the last outer sect disciple competition. With Ling Dao's sword talent, he had long mastered this technique. For other outer sect disciples, it would probably take a year to master.

With a swing of his long sword, it seemed to transform into a blazing sun, colliding fiercely with the Kui Niu. The Kui Niu's figure wavered and dissipated, unable to withstand the blazing sun. Ling Dao's sword then sharply turned and struck the Zhuque. The Zhuque let out a mournful cry and disappeared from the arena.

The long sword swept with the might of sweeping a thousand armies. The Baihu had no time to unleash its power before being reduced to a sick cat. At this point, Ling Dao's sword speed did not slow down but became even faster. A streak of sword light appeared, and the Qinglong suddenly vanished.

Ling Dao's figure split into four, moving so fast that the outer sect disciples could hardly see it. The disciples of the Zhenwu Sword Sect felt as if each of them was facing a Ling Dao, and their swords were all knocked away by Ling Dao.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang"

He leaped into the air, and the four disciples of the Zhenwu Sword Sect were all kicked away. His speed was too fast, and the disciples of the Xuanwu Sword Sect could not react in time. At this moment, the four of them could only attack Ling Dao simultaneously.

Although the Xuanwu Sword Sect's sword techniques were known for their defense, their offensive power was also formidable, like small mountains crashing down. Without unleashing his full strength, it was difficult for Ling Dao to face them head-on.

However, Ling Dao did not need to face them head-on. His sword transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly slicing through the four disciples of the Xuanwu Sword Sect. While their defense was indeed flawless against other outer sect disciples, Ling Dao could find the gaps in their defense and strike with his sword.

Blood splattered, and the four disciples of the Xuanwu Sword Sect all had sword wounds on their bodies. The four disciples of the Zhenwu Sword Sect had already lost their swords, and Ling Dao naturally did not give them the chance to pick them up.

"You lose!"

A voice rang out, and the four disciples of the Zhenwu Sword Sect felt a blur before their eyes, followed by a pain in their bodies. Each outer sect disciple had a sword wound, and blood gushed out.

Ling Dao, with his one person, fought against the eight disciples of the Xuanwu Sword Sect and the Zhenwu Sword Sect, and it did not take long. Even the elders of the Lie Tian Sword Sect, the Zhenwu Sword Sect, and the Xuanwu Sword Sect were stunned, let alone the outer sect disciples of the Lie Tian Sword Sect?

Although the battle was short, it was incredibly exciting. Ling Dao's overwhelming victory against the outer sect disciples of the Xuanwu Sword Sect and the Zhenwu Sword Sect greatly boosted the morale of the Lie Tian Sword Sect's disciples. Even the elders were so excited that their bodies trembled. For so many years, their Lie Tian Sword Sect had been humiliated every year, but this year, they finally turned the tables!
