340: A Crushing Defeat

The flying sword and its master were of one mind; the moment the two swords clashed, Shen Siyang instantly knew that his hardness was inferior.

Furthermore, Lu Li can exchange his blood through Martial Arts, causing his flying sword to explode at twice the speed of sound.

Shen Siyang immediately determined that the "Shadow Painter Sword" must be of the Upper-Upper Fourth Rank!

But how could that be? Could it be that I was just unlucky and happened to witness the other person's flying sword advancement?

Without time to think further, Shen Siyang needed to focus on winning the sword duel.

Although the opponent was unexpectedly strong, he was still the Azure Dragon, so winning would just be a little more difficult!

"Flying swords aren't just about hardness!"

Shen Si'ang's eyes narrowed, and the "Dragon Follower Sword" roared once more as it slashed straight at his opponent.

Lu Li also wielded the "Shadow Painter Sword" to counterattack with an offensive strategy.

But this time, the two flying swords did not collide directly.

The "Dragon Follower Sword" adjusted its angle continuously in mid-air, attempting to slash the opponent's sword spine with its sharp edge.

Attacking the enemy's weakness with one's own strength is like punching them in the stomach.

The "Shadow Painter Sword" thought the same way, making slight adjustments to the blade to find the enemy's weaknesses.

In this game of strategy, the two masters merely issue commands, and the flying sword completes the rest on its own.

This requires "spirituality," testing the flying sword's wisdom and agility.

Shen Siyang put all his effort into it, truly refusing to believe that his flying sword's spirituality was lacking.

The "Dragon Follower Sword" was born in the second year of the Tianzheng era of the Yuan Dynasty. Over the past five hundred years, it has accumulated profound spiritual power and is extremely compatible with the mind of its own Azure Dragon. It will surely be able to turn the tide!

At this moment, the two flying swords rapidly changed angles, much like Martial Arts masters changing their moves in combat.

Just as they were about to collide, it seemed that the "Dragon Follower Sword" had the upper hand, its blade slashing straight at the Shadow Painter Sword.

Shen Si'ang also stirred his mind and spirit, forming a layer of "mind chainsaw" on the surface of his own flying sword to maximize damage.

Lu Li also knows this move, which is equivalent to adding 5 points of attack power to the flying sword.

But right now, the "Shadow Painter Sword" has an attack power of 500, so he's too lazy to bother with it.

Just as the blade of the "Dragon Follower Sword" was about to touch the fragile spine of the "Shadow Painter Sword" by only one millimeter.

With just a slight adjustment of its angle, the "Shadow Painter Sword" used its own blade to slice back along the spine of the opponent's sword, scraping upwards.

This strike first follows the momentum, then borrows it, combining the strength of both oneself and the opponent to greatly increase its destructive power.

A burst of Mars and bright spots erupted in the air, and the "Dragon Follower Sword" flew out with a mournful cry.

A deep slash mark was left on the spine of the sword and on the rear half of the golden dragon's body!

At this moment, Lu Li felt an overwhelming sense of exhilaration!

This was his first real sword fight with someone. His consciousness combined with his flying sword, and in an instant, he reversed the situation and severely injured his opponent. It was truly exhilarating!

Shen Siyang, on the other hand, was heartbroken and furious. He defiantly adjusted his flying sword and retaliated.

But this time, "Shadow Painter Sword" did not make any changes to its moves, contrary to its usual practice.

Instead, they seized the opportunity and engaged in a head-on confrontation, directly clashing blades!

It already possesses strong inherent capabilities and is not intimidated at all.

The "Dragon Follower Sword" was two steps behind; with a loud clang, the sword's middle section was cleaved open and it flew off sideways.

With such ease of movement, it was clear to anyone with eyes in the arena that the two flying swords differed significantly in hardness and spirituality.

"Shadow Painter Sword" pressed its advantage, excitedly giving chase.

Having suffered two injuries, "Dragon Follower Sword" was temporarily unable to recover and could only run around aimlessly.

The sonic boom was so loud it hurt people's eardrums. Most people's dynamic vision couldn't lock onto the flying sword traveling at twice the Mach, so they didn't know what had just happened.

In just a few breaths, Lu Li's flying sword was chasing Shen Si'ang around everywhere, and it was obvious who had the upper hand.

A few highly skilled and knowledgeable individuals were utterly shocked—the Azure Dragon had lost so quickly!?

That's right, according to the normal rules of sword fighting, Shen Siyang has already lost.

But his expression was uncertain, as if he was still plotting something.

Xia Weijun sneered, "Lord Qinglong, are you trying to wear down our Lu Li? Should we prepare some food and water?"

The two flying swords moved at almost the same speed; this chase and escape could easily last for days.

At this moment, Lu Li ordered his flying sword to stop its pursuit and said:

"Stop running around aimlessly, infuse your flying sword with true energy, and the battle will be decided in one round."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Weijun, Li Yuanzhong, and the others all felt... wasn't Lu Li getting a little too arrogant?

Shen Siyang then quickly seized the opportunity and said loudly:

"My dear brother's flying sword is of too high a grade; I truly cannot yield to you."

Lu Li nodded and said, "You're too weak. There's no point in fighting you. Go all out."

"Heh... it's turned out to be my fault."

Shen Siyang gritted his teeth and grinned maliciously, summoning his flying sword back and infusing it with true energy. At the same time, his heart pounded, and he channeled some of his "Heart Blood" into it!

Xiao Cha had fed this to Lu Li, which greatly shortened his lifespan.

As soon as the "Dragon Follower Sword" consumed the energy, it seemed to be injected with adrenaline, its blade trembling and surging with light.

"That's a bit shameless," Xia Weiyin mocked.

"Why waste your Heart Blood, Young Master Shen? It would be much better to let your wife do it for you."

Shen Siyang remained silent, then touched his brow and retrieved a golden lotus from his Sea of Consciousness, carefully placing it into his flying sword.

Lu Li recognized this thing; it was the "Golden Lotus of Wish Power."

I got a lot of them on Blue Star before, but I didn't think they were very useful, so I fed them to the flying swords as snacks.

Upon seeing the golden lotus, Su Qing's eyes widened immediately, and he asked in a low voice:

"Shen Siyang, could this be my betrothal gift?"

"Rest assured, I have enough resources to marry Fairy Su."

"He dared to let you prepare so thoroughly, he must have something to rely on!"

"I have my own plans..."

Shen Siyang managed to calm his fiancée down before turning to face Lu Li again.

Shen Siyang had no way out. If he couldn't win today, he would become a laughing stock, and if word got out, he could forget about gathering any more willpower!

Lu Li was also very satisfied with his desperate move; defeating such an opponent would be more fulfilling and would also bring greater humiliation.

This scoundrel dared to disgust Sister Xia on such a joyous occasion; of course, he deserves severe revenge.

If we can't eliminate them physically, then we'll humiliate them mentally!

Let's begin.

Lu Li said softly, and casually summoned the "Shadow Painter Sword".

Shen Siyang also unleashed his fully powered "Dragon Follower Sword".

If the mind is the driving force of a flying sword, then Internal Breath and true qi are powerful catalysts, not to mention Heart Blood.

With a loud boom, the sword suddenly reached three times the Mach!

When overwhelming strength prevails, qualities like intuition and agility become useless.

Facing an opponent who is 50% faster, "Shadow Painter Sword" is bound to lose.

The onlookers, including Shen Siyang, were all watching Spirit Concentration.

Lu Li dared to let his opponent attack with a perfect victory, so he must have some powerful methods!

Sure enough, Lu Li activated "Yuan Magnetic Acceleration" with a thought, and the sword instantly became entangled in a complex "Mental Energy Coil"...

This was the first time the flying sword had used this Divine Ability since it awakened and advanced.

With a deafening roar, the "Shadow Painter Sword" pierced the air, unleashing a White Shockwave that shot outwards!

The speed increased dramatically from four times the Mach to more than five times the Mach, reaching the legendary "Mach"!

The "Shadow Painter Sword" transformed into a cold gleam, striking the spine of the "Dragon Follower Sword" directly, emitting a crisp, mournful cry, and spreading out a huge crack.

The latter had no time to react before it exploded into a Mars and blue light spots, crashing into the protective barrier set up by the two Grandmaster.

"Good!"

Such a fierce attack is a rare sight indeed; many people forgot which side they supported and instinctively cheered!

Meanwhile, this scene was also witnessed by Zhenyangzi and Wan Qing at the top of the mountain.

The three little Tong Shao were also there, wandering around aimlessly, seemingly in no hurry.

Zhenyangzi nodded and said, "Your man is quite good; his cultivation level is practically unmatched below the Grandmaster."

Wan Qing smiled but didn't say anything; she felt that this evaluation wasn't high enough.

Suddenly, Zhenyangzi stared at the scene with a look of surprise on his face:

"The Azure Dragon has this move too! A near- Manifestation!"
