With Lu Chen"s current strength, if he were to only use true qi to activate the Tao technique, he might not even be able to break through the opponent"s defense.On the contrary, he had borrowed the power of the Green Lotus Sword, which was an ancient magical weapon. With its unstoppable sharpness, he was able to increase its lethality even more.
What kind of sword technique was this?
The instant he saw the sword shadows attack, Duan Pei Hu"s heart turned cold.For a time, he had no way of figuring out how his opponent"s sword technique worked, and he was alarmed in his heart.
However, Duan Pei Hu had been through hundreds of battles and his cultivation was right there. He was not someone who was easy to deal with.The fierce sword qi above him did not cause Duan Pei Hu to panic, his reaction speed was also extremely fast.
The broadsword in his hand reversed itself, borrowing the force to lift the broadsword, he also chopped towards Lu Chen"s head mercilessly.
A battle method in which both sides would suffer a loss?
Lu Chen snorted coldly in his heart. At this critical juncture, he would not let Duan Pei Hu off so easily.
Clang!
The two attacks were extremely fast. Inevitably, the Azure Lotus Sword and the large blade clashed fiercely, causing sparks to fly in all directions.The crisp sound of metal hitting metal resounded through the forest. The frightened small animals fled in all directions. Countless birds soared into the air, releasing waves of terrified shrieks.
Lu Chen didn"t feel too good either.His arm went numb, and even the palm that was holding onto the hilt of the sword began to feel waves of stabbing pain.
When he was fighting Murong Yanran in the battle in the battle arena, Lu Chen was shaken by the ice blades in her hands to the point that his blood was boiling.
That was after Murong Yanran"s successful sneak attack.
After all, Lu Chen did not use the Heavenly Thunder Steps back then.As for Duan Pei Hu, it was only a backhand defense, yet it already made his arm numb. Indeed, he was worthy of being a high-rank Profound Rank expert.
This was the first time Lu Chen had used his own strength to fight a high-grade Profound Rank expert at full strength. It could also be considered that he had experienced the thickness of a high-grade Profound Rank expert"s true qi.
At the same time, he gained an objective understanding of his own strength.
In reality, Lu Chen was already very satisfied with this result.
After all, he was a low-grade Profound Ranked Spirit Apostle. To be able to reach such a level while fighting a high-grade Profound Ranked Spirit Apostle was already something that he could be proud of.In the end, the difference in cultivation level caused Lu Chen to retreat several steps. His body spun on the spot before standing still. At the same time, he used the True Meaning of Taiji to completely reduce the strength.
Compared to Lu Chen, Duan Pei Hu"s situation was much calmer.
Shi Mu only took half a step backwards. Then, he steadied his body. Therefore, he didn"t see any effect on his body.
After standing steadily, Duan Pei Hu no longer looked at Lu Chen. Instead, he stared at the Blue Lotus Sword in his hands and said excitedly:"Brat, this weapon of yours is a bit interesting, why don"t you leave it for grandpa to see if it suits your needs!"
As Duan Pei Hu spoke, his gaze landed on the saber in his hand. Suddenly, his eyes bulged and his face was filled with shock.He actually noticed that there was a clear crack on the blade of the saber that was three inches away from the handle.
This crack was half a finger wide, and was naturally the result of the collision.
The opponent"s sword was really sharp, it was truly a G.o.dly weapon!
A hint of surprise appeared in Duan Pei Hu"s eyes, it was originally a joke, but now it had become an incomparable desire.
With his sharp eyes, he stared at the three foot long green sword in Lu Chen"s hand, revealing an unconcealed greed.This sword looked no different from an ordinary metal sword. It was only emitting a faint azure light, but it was actually so tough.
Using his full strength, Duan Pei Hu knew how strong the blade in his hand was.
It had to be known that even if this blade were to slice a superior Fine Steel Sword into two halves, it would not leave a single crack. At the very most, there would only be a barely detectable mark.
Immediately after, he shook his head in surprise and sneered at Lu Chen: "This sword of yours isn"t bad. If you only have this little ability, then it will soon be mine."
"I suggest that you be sensible and obediently hand over this sword. If I am in a good mood, I will at least leave you with an intact corpse after killing you."
At this time, Lu Chen did not say anything, his expression extremely gloomy.Through the exchange of blows just now, he had already determined that it would be difficult for him to even touch this Superior Grade Profound Ranked Spirit Apostle with just his own strength.
At best, he could only rely on his movement technique to match it.
But if he really wanted to kill Duan Pei Hu, then he would be at a disadvantage.
A one-on-one battle like this would test one"s overall strength.After all, he was only a low-grade Profound Rank martial artist and his opponent was an expert who had been inferior to high-grade Profound Rank martial artists for many years. Regardless of cultivation or experience, they had far surpa.s.sed him.
With an insurmountable chasm in front of him, Lu Chen was very clear that he could not rely on trickery to defeat his opponent.Immediately after, Lu Chen swung his numb and sore arms, staring coldly at Duan Pei Hu.
He retrieved the Blue Lotus Sword back into the s.p.a.ce of the Eye of Merit and then took out a safety b.u.t.ton.
He let out a long breath, placed the peace in his palm, and then closed his eyes in front of everyone.
Duan Pei Hu and the rest of the people from the Southern Tiger Gang followed behind them. Seeing Lu Chen"s strange behavior, they were all confused. All of them couldn"t help but look at each other in dismay, wanting to get an answer from someone else.
So what if he fought? What was the meaning of taking out a jade pendant?Could it be that he didn"t have enough strength, and was only seeking the G.o.ds and buddhas to make up for it?
This was truly a temporary way of faking it!Was it useful?
A moment later, the Southern Tiger Gang members surrounding Lu Chen came back to their senses. Instead, they crossed their arms and revealed a mocking expression.They looked at Lu Chen and the others as if they were looking at a rat that was struggling in the claws of a cat.
In their eyes, no matter how much Lu Chen struggled, it was impossible for him to escape from the hands of a high-grade Profound Rank Duan Pei Hu.
Moreover, they still had such a large group of people by their side. Even if there were any accidents, they were fully confident that they could handle Lu Chen"s group.
There were even a few anxious people who were patrolling around Murong Yanran and the others, swallowing their saliva.
Duan Pei Hu stared gloomily at Lu Chen who had his eyes closed, but his heart was gradually filled with uneasiness, even more so than before.
The movement technique that this young man used just now was extremely strange to him.
He had seen some movement techniques of the thunder attribute before. Normally, this sort of movement technique was extremely precious and was quite difficult to cultivate in. It wasn"t something that an ordinary person could learn and learn.Right now, this fellow had his eyes tightly shut. Could it be that he was preparing some strange move?
Otherwise, looking at his arrogant att.i.tude from before, he didn"t seem to have the temper to surrender at all!
This uneasiness was like the water that had yet to boil, rising and falling unceasingly within his heart, making him gradually unable to bear it.
He tightly gripped the large saber with both of his hands, slightly suppressing his unease.
However, when he thought about the disparity in strength between the two sides, Duan Pei Hu continued to tread cautiously towards Lu Chen.
