Chapter 90

Zhou Hao began to truly activate the power of the Divine Pulse Realm. At the same time, he raised his left hand, which transformed into a series of palm shadows, causing the air to tremble.

Lin Tian's expression froze, and he quickly retreated, stepping back with the Two Instruments Step.

"Divine Pulse Realm martial technique, Illusory Cloud Palm!"

Mu Qing's expression changed slightly.

Shi Dong said, "Zhou Hao, having entered the Divine Pulse Realm, naturally chose a Divine Pulse Realm martial technique. This is quite troublesome."

The two of them stared at the high platform, their faces heavy.

Illusory Cloud Palm, a lower-grade Divine Pulse Realm martial technique, despite Zhou Hao having practiced it for only a few days, was far superior to Body Tempering Realm martial techniques.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the sky was filled with palm shadows, striking the space with a thunderous roar.

Zhou Hao's figure flickered, and he raised his right hand, performing the Thirteen Sword Cuts.

The situation changed rapidly. Despite Lin Tian's extreme speed, facing both a Divine Pulse Realm martial technique and a high-grade Body Tempering Realm martial technique, he became somewhat flustered, only able to dodge continuously.

"What, out of tricks?"

Zhou Hao said coldly.

Illusory Cloud Palm was extremely terrifying, with palm shadows rolling and carrying the force of shattering mountains and splitting rocks.

Lin Tian swung his long sword, dodging and slashing at the palm shadows.

With a bang, a palm shadow landed on his sword, the surging power forcing him to retreat, feeling a surge of blood in his chest.

"Good!"

Seeing this, Lu Sheng couldn't help but exclaim.

Seeing Lin Tian's flustered state, Lu Sheng clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.

"Divine Pulse Realm cultivation, Divine Pulse Realm martial technique, it's really troublesome. Although Zhou Hao's understanding of Illusory Cloud Palm is still shallow, it is a Divine Pulse Realm martial technique, greatly enhancing his combat power."

Behind the rockery, a powerful disciple of the Inner Hall said.

Around the main platform, everyone was staring intently, as if they were the ones fighting.

This battle was nerve-wracking for everyone.

"Ninth Cut!"

Zhou Hao said coldly.

Illusory Cloud Palm combined with the Thirteen Sword Cuts, Lin Tian was forced to dodge continuously, his clothes torn.

The fierce palm force intertwined in the air, Zhou Hao's face full of cold pride.

"A mere Body Tempering Realm, daring to challenge me."

Zhou Hao mocked.

Staring at Lin Tian, Zhou Hao's eyes were full of viciousness.

Lin Tian's face was expressionless, feeling Zhou Hao's strength acutely as he dodged.

"Divine Pulse Realm, indeed, is different."

He muttered to himself.

Lin Tian clearly felt Zhou Hao's thick true essence, far surpassing Body Tempering Realm experts, not even in the same league. Combined with the Illusory Cloud Palm, a Divine Pulse Realm martial technique, a typical Ninth Level Body Tempering Realm cultivator would likely be defeated in one move.

Hearing this, Zhou Hao sneered, "Do you still have time to sigh now!"

The sound of a sword rang out, the tenth cut of the Thirteen Sword Cuts landed.

Then, Zhou Hao swung his left hand, sixteen powerful palm shadows converging to press towards Lin Tian.

"Boom!"

The fierce palm force spread throughout the main platform, lingering and causing the air to rumble.

"Enough."

At this moment, Lin Tian spoke, his voice indifferent.

"Clang!"

A startling thunderous sword cry sounded, several Illusory Cloud Palm imprints approaching Lin Tian were shattered by a single sword cut.

This scene startled Zhou Hao. Illusory Cloud Palm was a Divine Pulse Realm martial technique, yet it was now shattered by Lin Tian's single sword cut, leaving him with an expression of disbelief.

"What did you do!"

Zhou Hao said heavily.

Lin Tian's face was expressionless, raising his long sword, pointing it straight at Zhou Hao. At this moment, small arcs of lightning flickered on his sword, crackling.

With a whoosh, Lin Tian charged forward.

"Boom!"

Like a thunderclap, Lin Tian's long sword rose, and a dazzling lightning sword appeared on the main platform, reaching Zhou Hao in an instant.

"Eleventh Cut!"

Zhou Hao roared.

With a hiss, Zhou Hao's eleventh cut was directly shattered.

Lin Tian's left hand clenched into a fist, striking out without any flourish.

"Damn!"

Zhou Hao's face changed, crossing his hands in front of him.

With a bang, Zhou Hao felt as if his arms were hit by a ten-thousand-pound boulder, his body involuntarily flying back, sliding seven zhang before stopping. Stabilizing himself, Zhou Hao felt his arms numb, as if he had lost all sensation.

Lin Tian stood in place, not pursuing. At this moment, not only his sword but also his body was covered in lightning, crackling.

This scene left many people stunned.

Behind the rockery, several Inner Hall disciples were moved, their faces changing.

"Is this, that sword technique? He actually cultivated that sword technique!"

One of them was shocked.

Mu Qing and Shi Dong were also moved, staring at Lin Tian's current appearance, their eyes full of admiration.

"Blue Thunder Sword Technique? He cultivated this sword technique! And, he's actually quite good at it!"

"This..."

Mu Qing and Shi Dong exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Both were elders of the Martial Hall, naturally very familiar with the martial techniques in the Martial Hall.

Shi Dong's eyes flickered, "Blue Thunder Sword Technique, the most dangerous and hardest to cultivate martial technique in the Martial Hall, with the highest rate of missing parts. Why would he choose this technique? To cultivate this technique, one must endure the strongest attack of a fourth-level beast, the Flame Lightning Pig, from the start. Isn't he afraid of dying!"

"Surprising Wind Sword Technique, Blue Thunder Sword Technique, one more difficult than the other. The beginning of cultivating Blue Thunder Sword Technique is even more dangerous, a single mistake can cost one's life." Mu Qing said with a bitter smile, "This kid, he really knows how to choose."

"This is what they call a prodigy, taking the path less traveled."

Shi Dong said helplessly.

Beside them, Su Shu's eyes widened.

"This guy!"

Su Shu was Mu Qing's disciple, naturally very familiar with the Nine Yang Martial Hall, knowing how dangerous it was to cultivate the Blue Thunder Sword Technique and how difficult it was. She never expected that after choosing the Surprising Wind Sword Technique, Lin Tian would choose the even more difficult Blue Thunder Sword Technique, which was missing seventy percent of its content!

"Clang!"

On the main platform, the thunderous sword cry continued, extremely piercing.

Lin Tian wielded the Blue Thunder Sword Technique, the brilliant sword light sweeping through with the force of a thousand troops, shattering Zhou Hao's Illusory Cloud Palm force upon contact.

Zhou Hao retreated violently, his face changing in shock, "Impossible!"

With a boom, Zhou Hao, enraged, swung his silver sword down.

"Thirteenth Cut!"

Zhou Hao roared.

The Thirteen Sword Cuts were divided into thirteen cuts, each stronger than the last, with the thirteenth cut embodying the essence of the technique, incredibly powerful.

"Blue Thunder, one cut."

A cold voice sounded.

Lightning flickered around Lin Tian, almost transforming him into a thunder god, his long sword becoming even more brilliant.

In an instant, the two swords collided.

"Crack!"

Zhou Hao's silver sword shattered into four pieces.

Lin Tian kicked out, sweeping across.

With a bang, Zhou Hao was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"My God!"

Many spectators were dumbfounded.

The powerful Zhou Hao, the first in the Outer Hall, a Divine Pulse Realm expert, was actually cut by a Body Tempering Realm cultivator and kicked away. This scene was too shocking.

Zhou Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring at Lin Tian with a dark expression, "You've hurt me again!"

Staring at Lin Tian, Zhou Hao's eyes became more fierce.

"Compared to your hypocritical appearance, I prefer your current look, at least it's not disgusting." Lin Tian said indifferently, walking step by step towards Zhou Hao, "Also, don't say such childish things like 'hurt me again.' Don't you remember that this battle is a fight to the death? Your death, my life, your life, my death, it's that simple."

Lin Tian's voice was calm but carried a cold and fierce tone.

"What a terrifying person."

Someone shuddered.

Zhou Hao's face was extremely dark. Clearly, he was a Divine Pulse Realm expert, while Lin Tian was just a Body Tempering Realm cultivator, not in the same league, yet at this moment, Lin Tian had taken the initiative!

"Ridiculous! The outcome is only one, your death!"

Zhou Hao roared.

With a boom, all of Zhou Hao's Divine Pulse Realm true essence was activated, his hands working together, the fierce palm force continuously stacking, causing the space to tremble.

"Die!"

Roaring, Zhou Hao's palms struck towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian's face was cold, lightning flickering around him. With just one step, he covered five zhang of distance.

"Cut!"

A cold word sounded, followed by a thunderous boom.

The Blue Thunder Sword Technique, classified by the Nine Yang Martial Hall as a high-grade Body Tempering Realm martial technique, was due to its high rate of missing parts and the extreme danger and difficulty of cultivation. No one had ever chosen it. This technique was actually at the Sea of Consciousness Realm level. Lin Tian had already cultivated the existing three levels completely. Even with his Body Tempering Realm cultivation, when he exerted his full strength, it could rival or even surpass a lower-grade Divine Pulse Realm martial technique.

Clang!

The domineering sword light spread throughout the main platform, the sound of thunder completely covering Zhou Hao's Illusory Cloud Palm. Under this fierce and domineering sword momentum, Zhou Hao was forced to retreat continuously, his body covered in sword marks.

In the midst of the clash, Lin Tian kicked Zhou Hao in the chest.

Zhou Hao was sent flying, coughing up blood.

Suddenly, Lin Tian appeared behind Zhou Hao, striking a backhand slap.

"Slap!"

A loud slap echoed, Zhou Hao's body, which had just stabilized, was thrown away again.

In the following exchanges, Zhou Hao was continuously defeated, completely suppressed.

"This..."

"With Body Tempering Realm cultivation, he actually forced the Divine Pulse Realm Zhou Hao to this extent."

"Is Zhou Hao... going to lose?"

Many spectators were almost petrified.

Lin Tian's face was cold, the Blue Thunder Sword Technique pushed to its limit, each sword cut bringing a series of fierce thunder, forcing Zhou Hao to retreat continuously.

"Spit!"

Another sword cut, Zhou Hao's right hand was struck, instantly bleeding profusely.

With a grunt, Zhou Hao retreated, only to be met with Lin Tian's fierce kick.

Zhou Hao was sent flying, and as he hit the ground, Lin Tian immediately followed, stomping down hard.

"Ah!"

Zhou Hao couldn't help but scream in pain, several ribs breaking, blood gushing from his mouth.
