Chapter 78

Xing Feng couldn't help but nod, it was fast, incredibly fast.

From the moment Lu Xuan started, to when his score surpassed Xia Ye, it took only a few breaths. He could almost imagine the scene of Lu Xuan's battle in the Sword Forest, where he was unstoppable, sweeping through everything in his path. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xing Feng would find it hard to believe that a Warrior of the Fifth Level of Body Tempering could achieve this.

The one who was most delighted by Lu Xuan's sudden burst of power was Elder Cheng, whose beard trembled with excitement.

He had already given up hope, but who could have thought that in this final moment, Lu Xuan would launch a desperate counterattack, surging into the top ten in an instant. As long as Lu Xuan could kill three more Warriors of the Sixth Level of Body Tempering, he would tie with Li Hu. If he could kill four, he would take the lead in this round!

In the Sword Forest, Lu Xuan's battle continued. After instantly defeating five Warriors of the Fifth Level of Body Tempering in three moves, he stepped forward without hesitation.

With these two steps, Lu Xuan clearly felt that the sword intent emanating from the Sword Forest grew stronger as he advanced, and the suppression on the Warriors became more intense.

However, for him, who had already comprehended half-step sword intent, this level of suppression was like a light drizzle, easily dispelled, posing no threat to him.

A new wave of enemies appeared quickly!

This time, he faced six Warriors of the Sixth Level of Body Tempering!

The last time in the Sword Tower, Lu Xuan, with his Fourth Level of Body Tempering, had also reached this point but could only use the Blink Sword Technique to instantly kill three before being forced to retreat.

But this time, he had not only advanced to the Fifth Level of Body Tempering but also made further progress in sword intent. Even facing a six-person combined attack, he still had the strength to fight!

These six Warriors of the Sixth Level of Body Tempering held different weapons, some spears, some swords, some knives. After their forms condensed, they attacked without any pause. Their thick elemental energy erupted, creating a powerful pressure, with a formidable momentum!

Xing Feng had been defeated by this move, as a six-person combined attack was much more difficult than defeating them one by one.

But the pressure from these six people was nothing to Lu Xuan. Back in Green Mountain Town, he had faced the pressure of Long Zhan, who was nearly at the Eighth Level of Body Tempering.

Facing the six simultaneous attacks, Lu Xuan did not dodge but attacked head-on!

Carrying the power of the first three moves of the Lightning Sword Technique, Lu Xuan let out a low cry, and elemental energy instantly poured into his long sword. A dazzling bolt of lightning flashed, and the fourth move of the Lightning Sword Technique was unleashed!

This move of Lu Xuan was not just an ordinary martial technique. In this sword, a thread of extremely sharp sword intent was contained. This thread of sword intent was not from the Sword Forest but was what Lu Xuan had comprehended. Although it was still immature, it was still sword intent! The sword intent that one in ten thousand sword cultivators could achieve!

A crescent-shaped sword aura slashed out, and a fierce momentum instantly erupted, striking first despite being the last to move, directly meeting the six attackers.

Several attacks collided with Lu Xuan's sword in an instant, and a loud explosion echoed. The powerful elemental energy storm generated by the collision instantly swept the surroundings.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but take a small step back, and the six people were also forced back a step. This time, both sides were evenly matched, but Lu Xuan was fighting six-on-one, and in terms of both numbers and realm, he was at a disadvantage. The strength of his combat was evident.

Even Li Hu, facing a six-person combined attack, wouldn't dare to confront it head-on but would only use hit-and-run tactics to take advantage of opportunities to kill.

After stepping back, both sides advanced again. This time, Lu Xuan's attack was even more fierce, and the Lightning Sword Technique had reached the fifth move. The further it went, the stronger Lu Xuan's combat power became.

Lu Xuan swung his sword again, and the attacks collided once more. The six Warriors were forced back, but this time, Lu Xuan's feet didn't move at all, standing steadily.

As the six people were forced back, one of the Warriors suddenly lost his balance, revealing a quick opening!

Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, a good opportunity!

Without retracting his sword, he drew a circular arc, and a circular sword aura enveloped the Warrior, instantly locking onto him. At the same time, the scattered sword intent in the Sword Forest was once again mobilized by Lu Xuan, and the sword intent and sword aura rushed toward the Warrior together.

Without any defense, the Warrior was directly shredded by this move, his form instantly dissipating!

Lu Xuan's score instantly increased by five hundred!

At this moment, on the ranking stone, his ranking had soared to fourth place, just behind Zheng Gang, Li Hu, and Xing Feng.

However, the battle wasn't over!

Taking advantage of the momentum, Lu Xuan quickly advanced, using the sixth move of the Lightning Sword Technique! The power increased even more!

Now, only five Warriors of the Sixth Level of Body Tempering remained, and the power of their combined attack was far less than before.

With the balance shifting, they were no match for Lu Xuan. With this move, Lu Xuan cut down two more, and his score increased by a thousand!

The names on the ranking stone changed again, and in an instant, Lu Xuan's name appeared in second place, tied with Li Hu!

"Even! This Lu Xuan is so fierce!"

"Li Hu might lose his second place. Lu Xuan's scoring speed is too fast! To reach the same score as Li Hu, he only used less than a third of the time Li Hu took!"

...

Lu Xuan's strong rise instantly made the other Warriors exclaim in surprise. Now, their evaluation of Lu Xuan was only two words: fast and fierce!

The rumors that Lu Xuan was just a smooth talker had been debunked. Nothing was more convincing than the facts. Such a powerful offensive and such a fast scoring speed were something no one among the disciples present could achieve, not even the previous Zheng Gang.

"Haha, well done, Lu Xuan! You've brought glory to our Sword Sect! Let those who look down on our Sword Sect open their eyes and see clearly!" Elder Cheng couldn't help but laugh heartily. It had been so many years, and this was the first time he had laughed so freely in the sect's assessment.

Li Hu's eyes were full of gloom. Now, he had completely become a foil. Everyone's attention was on Lu Xuan's name, and in everyone's eyes, he was just a stepping stone in front of Lu Xuan.

"What are you so smug about! He hasn't surpassed me yet! Maybe he's already at the end of his strength and will be eliminated in the next second!" Li Hu growled softly.
