So this strike turned out to be his maximum speed, and before even the vast majority of people had so much as reacted, that sharp sword tip had already appeared a mere few feet away from Lu Xiaotian. Furthermore, that cyan-edge sword was also a pill-origin magic weapon. Under such close quarters, with the dark, thin elder's speed, could the silver-haired youth before him possibly escape? At least the vast majority of cultivators reckoned among themselves that they were utterly incapable of it; the dark, thin elder's speed was definitively of the absolute pinnacle sort among Foundation Establishment peak-stage cultivators.
Even the Golden Core cultivators of the foreign alliance wore rather stunned expressions upon seeing this strike. Previously, they had felt it would be fine for the dark, thin elder to simply drag out time by relying on his speed, exhausting Lu Xiaotian's strength as much as possible, yet this stroke of genius-like sword strike from the dark, thin elder had made them full of praise as well. Even Xiang Tieta, along with another top-tier Foundation Establishment cultivator who had hurried over from elsewhere, was quite moved. If the two of them were suddenly ambushed by this strike, even if they did not die, they would likely have to expend a not-insignificant price to hold out against it.
Yet the very next moment, everyone widened their eyes, seemingly somewhat disbelieving of their own sight. Facing the dark, thin elder's astonishing sword strike, that silver-haired youth neither dodged nor evaded, not even moving his body by a single fraction. However, the dark, thin elder's body had already frozen midair, maintaining a sword-wielding posture.
When that cyan-edge sword was still a foot or so away from Lu Xiaotian, the crowd had not even had time to clearly see how Lu Xiaotian moved.
