The sword momentum, Jian Wudi unleashed his sword momentum, blending the force of heaven and earth into his own aura. A terrifying presence radiated from him, causing the world to tremble.
Even from dozens of miles away, everyone felt the sharp, suffocating aura, sending shivers of dread through countless hearts.
At this moment, the sword momentum gathered, and an overwhelmingly terrifying fluctuation emanated from Jian Wudi, sweeping across the heavens and earth. The roaring wind howled, and the world seemed locked in a unique gathering of power, as a fearsome strike brewed.
Everyone sensed a dangerous aura, barely able to imagine the consequences of facing this sword.
It would likely reduce them to ashes.
“So terrifying!” Lin Xiao’s heart jolted. Jian Wudi’s strength was overwhelming, his comprehension of sword momentum far deeper than Jian Wuqu’s. When unleashed, it was far more terrifying than Jian Wuqu’s.
No wonder he could defeat other prodigies in three moves. The power of this strike was enough to dominate an entire region.
Seeing this move, the expressions of Li Yunxiao, Ming Tian, and Xie Sheng shifted. Only they truly understood the sheer power of this technique.
They had fallen to this very move, unable to counter it even with their strongest trump cards.
“You’re not enough to defeat me!”
From across, Zhan Lan’s thunderous shout echoed.
His battle intent soared, his aura overwhelming, an unmatched presence rampaging through the heavens and earth.
“Spear Phenomenon!”
Another booming shout rang out. A faint earthy glow bloomed around Zhan Lan’s dantian, and a brown spear shadow materialized above his head. A terrifying pressure surged from the spear shadow, enveloping all directions.
An even more formidable aura radiated from Zhan Lan, with an even more intense and lofty battle intent. In an instant, he transformed into a war god, his battle intent towering, his presence awe-inspiring, exuding an invincible, world-defying momentum.
At this moment, everyone’s hearts trembled, including Li Yunxiao and the others.
Zhan Lan’s aura had reached a level that unnerved even them. Clearly, he was far stronger than they were.
This realization was hard for the three to accept. Jian Wudi was one thing, his same-tier combat strength surpassing theirs. But now, Zhan Lan too?
Yet, deep down, they hoped someone could challenge Jian Wudi, someone who could teach him a lesson.
Their emotions were complex.
“Let’s see if you can take this! Sky-Piercing Sword, One Slash to Shatter the Firmament!”
Jian Wudi let out a thunderous shout, his terrifying longsword slashing forward. A suffocating sword beam erupted, its dazzling, radiant white light illuminating the heavens and earth.
The fearsome sword beam, infused with gathered sword momentum, seemed capable of cleaving the sky and shattering the void. Its terrifying aura swept through the world, charging toward Zhan Lan with overwhelming force.
“Righteous Energy Pierces Sun and Moon, Spear Casts Eternal Glory!” Zhan Lan shouted loudly, his righteous energy surging like a raging fire. He charged forward, stirring up colossal waves of energy. After rushing dozens of feet, he spun, swinging his spear horizontally with deadly force.
With a single, all-out throw, the spear seemed to drain his strength entirely, carrying the resolve of a life-or-death strike.
The spear shot through the air, imbued with terrifying righteous energy, radiating boundless golden light that illuminated the entire area, outshining the sun and moon.
Rolling waves of righteous energy surged from the spear, accompanied by immensely powerful fluctuations.
In the blink of an eye, the spear, seemingly capable of piercing everything, collided with Jian Wuqu’s terrifying Sky-Piercing Sword beam at astonishing speed.
*Boom!*
A deafening, earth-shaking sound rang out, so loud it seemed to pierce eardrums.
A light far brighter than the sun burst forth, and a storm of energy, like a raging sea, erupted. The sky seemed swept by an energy hurricane, the entire world engulfed in rolling waves of power, with terrifying fluctuations shaking endlessly.
Everyone was stunned. This strike was too powerful. It was hard to imagine the consequences if it had erupted on the ground. Countless mountains would likely have been flattened.
Amid the rolling energy fluctuations, everyone saw both fighters retreat dozens of miles, deftly avoiding the energy’s impact.
Clearly, this strike was another stalemate.
The Lingjian Sect’s side fell silent, including Zhe Renfeng.
They had believed Jian Wudi would defeat Zhan Lan in three moves, humiliating him thoroughly. His previous record had left no room for doubt.
But who could have expected Zhan Lan’s strength to be so formidable, enduring Jian Wudi’s third strike head-on?
Meanwhile, the Spear Dragon Sect’s disciples were astonished. Zhan Lan’s combat strength exceeded even their expectations.
The third technique of the Righteous Energy Spear Art had indeed been mastered by Zhan Lan.
With the low-tier earth-level Spear Phenomenon unleashed, its power was so great that even Jian Wudi’s attack, which had defeated other prodigies, couldn’t overcome him.
Lin Xiao’s heart was filled with shock. Judging by his trump cards, Zhan Lan’s words were no exaggeration. His combat strength was truly terrifying.
“Elder Zhe, it seems defeating Zhan Lan won’t be so easy for Jian Wudi!” At this moment, Zhong Moyang, not far from Lin Xiao, remarked to Zhe Renfeng.
Zhe Renfeng’s face darkened. Jian Wudi failing to defeat Zhan Lan in three moves was beyond his expectations.
Fortunately, he hadn’t boasted like the younger disciples, claiming a three-move victory.
Otherwise, the embarrassment would have been immense.
Still, Jian Wudi’s draw after three moves damaged their reputation.
“Just wait. Zhan Lan won’t last long against Jian Wudi!” Zhe Renfeng replied, his face grim.
“We’ll see,” Zhong Moyang said, leaving it at that.
“Didn’t you say Jian Wudi would defeat our Senior Brother Zhan Lan in three moves? What now?”
“Exactly, all that big talk fell flat!”
“Heh, forget three moves. It’s questionable whether he can even defeat Senior Brother Zhan Lan!”
The young disciples of the Spear Dragon Sect shouted excitedly. That last strike had filled them with confidence in Zhan Lan.
Seeing Jian Wudi fail to defeat him in three moves, they relished the chance to mock their opponents, who had spoken so boldly before. The Lingjian Sect disciples, meanwhile, looked like wilted eggplants, their faces dark and speechless.
