"And then, that was it?"
Lu Chen shrugged and smiled.
The black robe concealed him in the shadows, obscuring his expression, but the onlookers all wanted to laugh but dared not.
However, the chill emanating from him had only deepened.
...
"This kid's got some interesting skills!"
In the distance, a man and a woman stood very high, looking down at everything with indifferent expressions.
Both of them were inner disciples of the Seven Star Hall and were experts at the True Essence Realm.
Mo Fan, Murong Xue.
They are the two disciples of the Seven Star Hall generation who have the best chance of breaking into the Heavenly Sword Hall, and they are extremely talented.
Murong Xue glanced at him and said, "Feeling threatened?"
"Aren't you the same?" Mo Fan said calmly.
Murong Xue remained silent.
She definitely felt threatened.
The triennial sect competition is just over a month away.
The Myriad Swords Sect also has its own path to advancement. The Seven Star Hall is ranked last among all the branch halls, while the Heavenly Sword Hall is the ultimate goal for all sword cultivator disciples.
But the Heavenly Sword Hall is too difficult to enter.
Jade Sword Hall is the next best, but it only accepts women, and they must cultivate Jade Sword Hall's unique techniques, and their talent is also a factor.
Every time there's a sect competition, all the disciples give it their all, because the spots are limited and the competition is fierce.
Disciples like Mo Fan and Murong Xue, who have the best chance of entering the Heavenly Sword Hall, are undoubtedly more concerned than others about whether there are any newly entered geniuses.
Right now, the two of them have found one.
Lu Chen's displayed strength is far from matching his cultivation level.
"Playing tricks, who are you trying to scare?"
Lu Chen was too lazy to waste words. A spear suddenly appeared in his hand, and without saying a word, he charged directly at the man in black robes.
A battle is about to break out.
A black mist emanated from the black robe, completely enveloping him and making it almost impossible to see his next move. The black mist then headed directly towards Lu Chen.
Lu Chen swung his spear out with great force.
However, when the spear swept through the black mist, Lu Chen felt as if he had swept away nothing.
The black mist was swept away as if it were nothing. Suddenly, the dispersed black mist condensed again, turning into a black sharp cone that pierced directly at Lu Chen.
"Um?"
Lu Chen felt that this was a bit difficult to deal with; the cultivation technique practiced by this black-robed man was extremely strange.
As soon as the spear touched the black cone, Lu Chen felt an extremely powerful black aura instantly coiling around him along the spear tip.
This eerie black mist carried a terrifying aura of decay.
Lu Chen's spear tip trembled, and he took a few steps back, still calmly watching the black mist that was coiling around him.
And the black-robed figure slowly emerged from the black mist.
Everyone present gasped in shock.
"This black robe is so terrifying that even Lu Chen is no match for it."
"That's normal. After all, that black-robed man is at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm, while Lu Chen is only at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. The difference is too great!"
"Yes! Lu Chen is in trouble now!"
"Not necessarily. Lu Chen hasn't even used his ultimate move yet, has he? He hasn't even used his sword!"
"That's true!"
"Moreover, he should have also been practicing body-refining techniques, though his level of mastery is unknown!"
"What? Simultaneous cultivation of Qi and body?"
"Yes, that should be it. Don't forget, he has an innate sword physique!"
"..."
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Lu Chen made his move once again. He put away his spear and took out an ordinary black iron longsword.
The sword is in my hand.
Lu Chen's entire demeanor changed.
Draw your sword.
Suddenly, it started to rain.
"Um?"
The onlookers looked up at the sky and found it to be clear and cloudless.
Nothing happened above their heads.
But in the sky above where Lu Chen and the two men in black robes were, it seemed as if a rain had fallen.
The gentle spring rain.
"ah?"
The man in the black robe suddenly screamed in agony.
To everyone's astonishment, the black mist emanating from the black robe was being continuously dissolved by the spring rain.
Spring rain, like silk threads, enveloped the man in black robes.
Gradually, the black fog dissipated.
The drizzle suddenly condensed into a sword, a crystal-clear slender sword, which pierced straight towards the man in black robes.
call out!
A sword pierced right through.
The man in black robes seemed frozen in place, his knees pierced through.
The slender sword returned once more.
The knee of the other leg was also pierced.
The man in black robes could no longer stand and fell to his knees.
The rain has stopped.
Everyone who witnessed this scene held their breath.
"Sword intent!"
"This is sword intent!"
"A terrifying sword intent! This is the second level of the Dripping Water Sword Technique, the sword intent is like rain!"
"He actually comprehended the level of Sword Intent Like Rain! My god! He's only at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm!"
"A genius, an unparalleled genius!"
"As expected of someone with an innate sword physique, his swordsmanship talent is unparalleled!"
Mo Fan and Murong Xue, who were watching from a distance, were speechless.
Their cultivation level is high, so naturally they can see things more clearly.
"Sword intent like rain, hehe, Murong Xue, you've only just broken through this realm, haven't you?" Mo Fan smiled bitterly, suddenly losing confidence in this sect competition.
Murong Xue was shocked and it took her a long time to recover. After a moment of silence, she said, "His realm should be higher than mine! Sword intent like rain, what a magnificent sword intent like rain!"
Murong Xue personally witnessed someone comprehend the second level of the Dripping Water Sword Technique before her, and naturally benefited greatly from it.
