It must be said that Shi Shengrui's ability to stand out among the younger generation of the Shi family is indeed quite remarkable.

He received rigorous training from the Shi family from a young age, and with his outstanding talent, he had been immersed in the realm of high-level martial arts for many years. He had rich combat experience, and his every move exuded confidence and domineering presence.

Almost the instant Shi Shengrui launched his attack, Zhou Chi reacted as if by shadow.

His burly body turned slightly, and the dark, heavy sword in his hand, like a long-dormant dragon, slashed towards Shi Shengrui's longsword with a powerful aura.

In an instant, the true energy around the two surged, like surging waves colliding with each other, producing a deafening roar, and the surrounding air trembled violently due to this powerful force.

"I can cut your sword in two with a single strike!"

Shi Shengrui's eyes were piercing, and a confident sneer appeared on his lips.

The Shi family wielded immense power in Guyue City, not only monopolizing the city's mineral resources but also being a renowned family of weapon refiners.

The long sword in his hand was meticulously crafted by Shi Tianyong, the head of the Shi family, using a large amount of precious materials, and reached the level of a high-grade magic weapon.

Its blade has smooth lines, gleams with a cold light, and has an extremely sharp edge, exuding a chilling killing intent.

In contrast, the heavy sword in Zhou Chi's hand was plain and unadorned, without any luster. In Shi Shengrui's eyes, this sword was like an uncarved sword blank, completely vulnerable. He was absolutely confident that he could cut it in half with one strike.

"Hmph, I wonder who cut whose weapon."

Zhou Chi sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

The heavy sword in his hand may look ordinary, but it is actually quite extraordinary. It is not an ordinary magical artifact, but a genuine high-grade spiritual sword.

Such a spirit sword is extremely rare in the entire Tianyuan County.

Apart from the three major sects, Longyuan Sword Sect, Wuji Sect, and Qingxuan Sect, which possess a considerable number of high-grade spiritual weapons, most of the other high-grade and top-grade spiritual swords from outside the sect were made by Fang Han.

The spirit sword in Zhou Chi's hand contains powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. Once infused with true energy, it can unleash astonishing power.

Just as Shi Shengrui's longsword was about to touch the heavy sword, Zhou Chi shouted and poured his surging true energy into the spirit sword.

In an instant, the spirit sword shone brightly.

With a crisp snapping sound, Shi Shengrui's superior-grade magic weapon longsword was instantly severed from Zhou Chi's spirit sword, like a fragile withered branch.

The blade broke in two and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

However, Zhou Chi's attacks did not stop there.

After the spirit sword severed the long saber, its momentum remained as powerful as thunder, continuing to slash towards Shi Shengrui.

Upon seeing this, Shi Shengrui and the rest of the Shi family were immediately shocked.

Shi Shengrui's pupils contracted sharply, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He never expected that his prized high-grade magic weapon, the longsword, would be cut in half so easily.

In a panic, he quickly used his movement technique to retreat as fast as he could.

But it was all too late.

Zhou Chi's reaction speed far exceeded Shi Shengrui's expectations. With a flick of his wrist, he swung his spirit sword backhand, aiming for Shi Shengrui's abdomen.

Although Zhou Chi has not yet broken through to the Martial Grandmaster realm and cannot release his true energy externally, he can still use the powerful energy of a superior-grade spiritual sword to transform the true energy injected into the sword into sword light, causing fatal damage to his enemies.

"ah!"

Shi Shengrui let out a scream as the sword's edge precisely sliced ​​across his abdomen.

In an instant, blood gushed out like a spring, and intestines flowed out from the wound.

Shi Shengrui's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.

He had been pampered by the Shi family since childhood and had never suffered such a severe trauma. This sudden pain and defeat completely robbed him of his fighting spirit, and his legs trembled incessantly with fear.

The Shi family members were still in shock from Shi Shengrui's crushing defeat and had not yet made any reaction.

Zhou Chi's aura surged once more, and the heavy sword in his hand, imbued with immense power, struck Shi Shengrui like a black lightning bolt.

This time, Zhou Chi did not intend to take his life directly. Instead, he took a different approach, turning the heavy sword and striking Shi Shengrui with the blade.

At this moment, Shi Shengrui was seriously injured in the abdomen and was already like a candle in the wind, about to collapse. Faced with Zhou Chi's sudden attack, he stared wide-eyed in horror, but was powerless to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the heavy sword approached him.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the heavy sword slammed down on Shi Shengrui.

Shi Shengrui's body flew backward like a stone that had been hit, tracing an arc in the air before crashing heavily into a thick tree in the manor.

With a "crack," the tree trunk was struck, leaving cracks, and leaves fluttered down.

Shi Shengrui slid off the tree and crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Immediately afterwards, he coughed violently, spitting out mouthful after mouthful of blood, which pooled on the ground into a shocking pool of blood.

In fact, under this attack, all of Shi Shengrui's meridians were shattered, like a broken string on a musical instrument, and he could no longer circulate his true energy.

His eyes lost their light, and his body lay limp on the ground, completely reduced to a useless person.

"My son!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Shi Xiu's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he roared like a maddened beast.

As Shi Shengrui's father, he placed high hopes on his son, especially after Shi Wenshan was dismissed, Shi Shengrui had become the future hope of the Shi family.
