Chapter 351: Chapter 55: Shu Path
In all the previous four rounds of the arena battles, Lu Qingshan had defended his own seventh arena.
Now, for the first time, he became the challenger, launching an assault on the third arena guarded by Cao Xiaoxin.
As soon as the Floating Saint Master released the pairing news, the spectating cultivators all stirred up a commotion.
The arena competitions were indeed visibly more splendid with each round, and by this fifth round, there were countless highlights to look forward to, exciting everyone!
Bai Guandao and Yu Xu, one wielding Primordial Intent and the other practicing the ancient Body Refinement secret technique, Eight Gates Dunjia, both had conquered their way here overwhelmingly. Now, as these strong forces collided, who wouldn’t be excited?
Lin Guihai versus Mo Yan, one practiced both law and body, with unbeatable Thunder Spells, and the other controlled several types of Netherfire. Mo Yan was the strongest dark horse of this tournament in the Seven Domains, and the outcome was unpredictable.
Cao Xiaoxin and Lu Qingshan, the former was recognized in this tournament as the strongest with Internal Swords, his Sword Array techniques reaching the heavens.
The latter, exceptional in both internal and external swordsmanship, had become the strongest in external sword among them all after defeating Yu Cibei. Besides, his Internal Sword Technique was also extraordinary.
Both of them gave off an unbeatably strong aura.
When the strongest Internal Sword met the strongest External Sword, who would be the strongest Sword Cultivator of the Seven Domains tournament?
When the Floating Saint Master announced the match-up, Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but turn his head and glance at Cao Xiaoxin, and just then, their gazes collided.
He was also turning his head to size up Lu Qingshan at that moment.
“I didn’t expect to be up against Cao Xiaoxin so soon, thought I’d have to wait another round,” Lu Qingshan turned back around and murmured, “But perhaps this was intentional… in a situation where the strengths are so closely matched, putting cultivators of the same school against each other increases the spectacle….”
In the eyes of many spectating cultivators, the fifth round on the arena, especially the fight between Lu Qingshan and Cao Xiaoxin, was the most appealing.
“Lu Qingshan has a greater chance of winning, after all, he excels in both internal and external swordsmanship, is all-rounded, and has no obvious weaknesses,” some supported Lu Qingshan.
“How can this be calculated so simply, in combat, each flaunts their strengths and conceals their weaknesses. It’s about whose strengths can triumph,” others argued.
Both Lu Qingshan and Cao Xiaoxin had plenty of supporters.
Of course, if we were counting, Lu Qingshan had more supporters.
As Lu Qingshan’s Internal Sword was also strong, and he was younger and… better-looking.
The surrounding noise and discussions did not affect Lu Qingshan as he closed his eyes to rest, silently recovering his strength.
After an hour, Lu Qingshan opened his eyes.
The clash for the title of the strongest Sword Cultivator against Cao Xiaoxin was about to begin!
Even the powerful Daoist Sect cultivators were largely paying attention to this battle.
This included Shui Yue Pavilion Master, Tai Bai Sword Master, Taiyin Sect Leader, and Yi River Hall Master, all focusing their attention on Lu Qingshan and Cao Xiaoxin.
Lu Qingshan leaped onto the arena, standing diagonally opposite Cao Xiaoxin.
“Cao Xiaoxin, Sword Name Shu Path.” Cao Xiaoxin stared at Lu Qingshan, seriously declaring.
“Lu Qingshan, Sword Name Peach Blossom.” Lu Qingshan responded seriously as well.
“The fifth round of the arena battle begins!” the Floating Saint Master announced loudly.
“Brother Lu, be cautious!” At the Floating Saint Master’s command, Cao Xiaoxin let out a loud shout, and suddenly in front of him appeared a long green sword with flowing wave-like fluctuations, which then split into twelve thinner flying swords.
Cao Xiaoxin gently waved, as if commanding troops.
“Silkworm Nest!”
One of the split swords, named Silkworm Nest, immediately streaked across the sky.
Where it passed, it was as though an iron-blooded army had crossed, with noises of hoofbeats and iron horses.
This sword was directed straight at Lu Qingshan.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan just smiled lightly.
Go!
The Peach Blossom Sword, carrying a faint sound of thunderous roar, did not avoid confrontation, striking directly towards the silkworm swarm transformed from the Shu Path.
Clang!
The Peach Blossom Sword struck directly onto the silkworm swarm, hissing!
The momentum of iron cavalry halted momentarily, as the two Flying Swords clashed and brushed past each other in an instant.
This was a probing by both sides.
However, Cao Xiaoxin, who had prepared for a fast escape, was surprised to discover that Lu Qingshan had been moving only within the original area from the beginning of the fight, without any intention of getting close.
—This was completely different from what he had expected.
As Lu Qingshan, known as the strongest External Sword, versus him, an expert in Sword Array, he actually had no plans to get close and disrupt his sword array?
This scene made many onlooking cultivators secretly click their tongues in wonder.
Some had already guessed a very outrageous possibility.
“Is he planning to defeat Yu Cibei with External Sword first, then defeat Cao Xiaoxin with Internal Sword?” a round-faced female cultivator standing beside Spirit Moon asked incredulously.
“Seems like it…” Spirit Moon’s eyes shimmered, fixated on Lu Qingshan, who was constantly wearing a smile on the stage, without shifting her gaze.
“Can Lu Qingshan win?” the round-faced female cultivator asked subconsciously.
“He definitely will win!” Spirit Moon’s eyes sparkled, asserting confidently.
“Why definitely…” the round-faced female cultivator was puzzled, then suddenly, she realized and looking at Spirit Moon’s excited expression, she wondered, “Weren’t you just criticizing this Lu Qingshan when he eliminated you a moment ago? How come you suddenly changed to supporting him so much…”
Spirit Moon, asked by the round-faced female cultivator, pursed her lips, her earlobes slightly reddened, and she said indignantly, “Isn’t it because the higher his ranking, the more prestigious I appear too!
There’s a big difference between being eliminated by the leader and by the top seven!”
Then, Spirit Moon muttered subconsciously, “Although it’s impossible for him to take down the leader, the second place is still possible…”
As for Lu Qingshan, who was both good-looking and had outstanding swordsmanship and acted wildly unrestrained—using External Sword to defeat Yu Cibei, known as the strongest External Sword, and then challenging Cao Xiaoxin, known as the strongest Internal Sword with Internal Sword, made her secretly fond and admiring of him; something, she wouldn’t admit outwardly!
The discussions of the external onlooking cultivators were unheard by Cao Xiaoxin, but upon realizing Lu Qingshan’s intent, his competitiveness was completely ignited.
He used Internal Sword techniques because he only excelled in Internal Sword, while Lu Qingshan executed Internal Sword techniques because he wanted to solely focus on Internal Sword.
He would not allow his most adept and proud Internal Sword to lose to Lu Qingshan.
“Yi Xian Tian!” Cao Xiaoxin chanted lightly.
The silkworm swarm, Fish Fu, Mang Ran, Mount Emei, Yellow Crane, gibbons, and Green Mud—seven slender Flying Swords lit up, aligning in a line, a frost line flying towards Lu Qingshan.
The seven Flying Swords had seven layers of consecutive overlapping, and this Yi Xian Tian formation would unleash seven continuous attacks.
Lu Qingshan dared not underestimate, and immediately went all out, with Slaughter Sword Intent and the budding Immortal True Intent both attaching to the Peach Blossom Sword.
Boom!
Thunderous roars followed!
Under the enhancement of the two Sword Intents, the Peach Blossom Sword once again reached the realm of Sword Burst Thunder Sound.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Seven collision sounds consecutively erupted.
The first four were from Cao Xiaoxin’s seven Flying Swords forming Yi Xian Tian clashing with the Peach Blossom Sword.
After the fourth sword, the Peach Blossom Sword was at a lack of force and could no longer withstand Yi Xian Tian.
Then, Lu Qingshan deployed the Five Elements Sword Armor just in time to block the final three swords.
