Chapter 767: Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers, Sword Flying to the Heavens!
The combined might of the four was overwhelming, their sword Qi filled with killing intent forced the spectators with lower cultivation to step back.
Ling Fan released his Protective Gang Qi, causing the soil and rocks around him to collapse under the pressure of the opponent's Sword Qi.
The Sword Net was as intricate as it was sharp, able to slice through metal and jade. If anyone were to be trapped beneath it, they would be minced immediately.
"Four Seas Ascension, huh? I had heard that a few people from the Zhu Rong Lineage had developed a combined attack technique. I never expected that today, because of this kid Ling Fan, I would have the fortune to witness it," Ruan Yulong murmured with a frown.
He silently pondered his chances of victory if he were to face this attack.
"Oh no, Ling Fan, get out of the way!" Lan Zihan exclaimed in shock, hastily warning him.
Feng Xiaobai didn't quite understand and simply stood by, watching quietly; in his heart, he irrationally believed that his boss was the strongest and would surely be unharmed!
"Hmph, trying to run? Wait to visit your grave!" Shu Zi'ang sneered, increasing the force in his hands by a third.
"Hiss—"
"To think it's a combined attack technique by the Junior Peak Master of the Zhu Rong Lineage, it's truly an honor to witness it today; indeed, it's as formidable as rumored," an immediate gasp of astonishment came from the crowd.
"Haha, such divine might! Even if this guy were made of metal and iron, he would still be sliced into pieces this time!" someone nearby laughed excitedly.
Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help but feel elated. The people from Zhu Rong Peak had been repeatedly frustrated, and the pressure in their hearts was significant.
Now, watching these four unite with such divine power, their confidence surged, and they couldn't help cheering out of a need to release their pent-up feelings!
However, there were also cautious individuals among the crowd who did not lose themselves in excitement but quietly watched as events unfolded.
A common saying goes, it's not over until it's the end.
Even Wei Yuanjie, who was watching coldly from a distance, had learned to be cautious this time, his repeated humiliations making him much more circumspect.
"What do you think, can this kid withstand this strike?" Wei Yuanjie asked, his expression fluctuating.
Shen Ying pondered with a somber look, "Hard to say, normally he can't withstand it, but this guy, he's a bit tricky!"
"Hmph, if you ask me, this fool is bound to die this time!" Huang Yuanwu said coldly.
In the stands, Ruan Yulong's expression alternated between clarity and obscurity. If caught off guard, he feared that even he might get injured, but if he used his trump card, he could win!
"Could this kid possibly bring me another surprise? The Combined Sword Formation of four can't really fail to take him down, can it!" Dong Yanghua said with a grim look.
"It shouldn't be, even if I were caught off guard, facing this Sword Formation would require some effort, could this kid have the strength of a Peak Wuxuan?" Jia Qingsheng slightly shook his head.
"Hmph, impossible, a Peak Wuxuan? Does he think he's some sort of monster?" Lu Hongshuo decisively shook his head.
"Hehe, even if he is a monster, today we will kill him, we must not let the tiger return to the mountain!" Liang Cheng'en said coldly.
Shu Xing Yan's gaze was intense as he watched the battlefield below, his eyes filled with a murderous intent. Today, everyone present had sentenced Ling Fan to death!
The several Peak Masters from the Zhu Rong Lineage had initially thought Ling Fan was their lucky star, causing trouble for the Wushen Lineage.
But as events unfolded, they realized they had been too optimistic. This kid was clearly targeting their Zhu Rong Lineage, ruthless and decisive even to his allies.
"Is this kid really trying to challenge our Zhu Rong Lineage all by himself?" Dong Yanghua muttered darkly, his eyes flickering.
Hearing this, several nearby Peak Masters all sneered, "Hmph, this kid must be delusional, not knowing what 'death' means!"
Sure enough, as they conversed, the battle below had escalated to the brink.
Ling Fan's Protective Gang Qi, pressured and ravaged by the killing Sword Qi of the four, twisted and deformed, looking like it could collapse at any moment.
Confronted with what seemed like an unavoidable and tough strike, the attack posed little difficulty for him.
Don't forget, he was a master of Earth Escape; with a simple dive underground, these people would have no means to reach him!
Only now, his cultivation had advanced, and he was no longer in the same situation as before; there was no need to dodge.
Additionally, the purpose of my visit today was to intimidate, so there was nothing more shocking than defeating four opponents with a single Thunder Strike!
"Trivial tricks, today you will witness what true swordsmanship is!" Ling Fan coldly declared.
Immediately, he flicked his wrist, and his Spirit Sword wielded hundreds of Sword Intents, invisible Sword Intents, not Sword Qi.
The hundreds of Sword Intents converged into a colossal invisible sword, meters long, charging skyward, slashing upwards against the encasing Sword Net.
"Hm? Sword Intent?" The four onlookers exclaimed in surprise.
They were all top-notch experts and could fully sense the energy fluctuations of the invisible Sword Intent.
They had seen Sword Intent before, but they had never seen it released with such intensity.
"Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers, Sword Flying to the Heavens," Ling Fan murmured the eight characters amidst their astonished gazes.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
The entire crowd suddenly gaped, seeing a nearly transparent colossal invisible sword whose blade rippled like the surface of water.
In an instant, it collided with the Sword Net the four had jointly cast.
It was like a drop of water falling into a boiling pot of oil; it exploded immediately.
The attack that everyone had believed to be indestructible disintegrated in a flash; the center of the Sword Net was instantly blown open.
The four were greatly shocked, but quickly steadied their minds and urgently mobilized their Origin Force, rapidly mending the broken Sword Net.
However, their complexions were visibly paler, showing that repairing the Sword Net substantially drained their Origin Force.
While the crowd was still in shock, they suddenly let out a relieved sigh, as if they had just ridden a roller coaster and their hearts had almost leaped through their throats!
"Damn, that scared me to death!" someone in the crowd exclaimed, patting their chest.
Even the spectators like Dong Yanghua on the platform were secretly sweating and greatly shaken.
Lan Zihan's emotions had rollercoastered from tension at the beginning to excitement and then to an utter plummet, suffering greatly throughout.
Dong Weiyue stood at a distance, unable to resist patting her chest as well, evidently relieved.
But just as the crowd was yet to fully recover or relax, another shock unfolded.
The invisible colossal sword, upon colliding with the Sword Net, burst out like a Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers, shattering into hundreds of invisible Sword Intents that shot outwards in all directions.
The bursting Sword Intents were not random but followed a specific pattern as they shot outwards.
The points targeted by the Sword Intents were precisely the multiple nodes linking the Sword Net.
"Bang!"
Hundreds of Sword Intents struck the nodes of the Sword Net from various positions, seemingly ordinary, but the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded!
The enclosing Sword Net, like smoke, disbanded at the nodes' bursting, instantly dissolving without a trace!
"Pfft~"
All four, affected by the force, spat out blood in unison, their faces deathly pale as they staggered back several meters.
Ling Fan, with his sword casually pointed at the ground and one hand behind his back, appeared serene and composed, defeating his foes with just one stroke!
This scene suddenly stirred an inexplicable shock in the hearts of the spectators around, causing many women to feel a strange thrill.
Among them was Dong Weiyue, who, for a moment, found herself dazzled and mesmerized by Ling Fan's figure.
In that instant, the entire venue fell silent, filled only with the rustling of wind-blown fallen leaves and the prominent figure of Official Ling standing proudly!
