Slay Luo Feng and Ascend to the Rank of the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples!

"Boom."

Luo Feng was the first to draw his sword.

Furthermore, as he drew his blade, the vital energy within his body erupted completely.

The vast and mighty vital energy, like a roaring furnace, caused the temperature across the entire arena to soar instantly.

This was the Vital Energy Furnace!

Moreover, as one of the top ten disciples of the Outer Sect, Luo Feng possessed vital energy reaching as high as two hundred and eighty strands!

In terms of vital energy, he was not even inferior to the top-ranked martial artists among the top ten Outer Sect disciples.

Driven by that terrifying two hundred and eighty strands of vital energy, Luo Feng's swordsmanship struck out like a streak of blood-red light, instantly piercing toward Zhang Su.

Everyone held their breath, eyes wide.

They stared fixedly at Luo Feng and Zhang Su.

Luo Feng's strength was well-known to all.

Two hundred and eighty strands of vital energy, combined with a top-tier sword technique, the Chiyan Sword Technique!

Originally, Luo Feng's Chiyan Sword Technique had reached the Great Completion stage, and its power was already extremely terrifying.

But now, that streak of crimson sword light was reflected in everyone's vision, as if it had covered the entire arena.

It gave off a distinct feeling of a single spark starting a prairie fire.

This was definitely not the Great Completion stage of the Chiyan Sword Technique.

Perfection!

This was the Perfection stage of the Chiyan Sword Technique!

"Senior Brother Luo Feng actually cultivated the Chiyan Sword Technique to the Perfection stage?"

"Senior Brother Luo Feng is truly good at hiding his strength; he probably intended to use this against the higher-ranked Outer Sect disciples to improve his own standing, but now that he's faced with Zhang Su's challenge, he has no choice but to go all out."

"As a top-tier sword technique, the Chiyan Sword Technique is already terrifying at Great Completion, let alone now that it has reached Perfection. Zhang Su is truly unlucky to challenge Luo Feng, happening to run into him just as he has mastered the technique."

"Under this terrifying strike of the Chiyan Sword, even if Zhang Su possesses peerless swordsmanship, he is likely in grave danger..."

At this moment, Luo Feng fully displayed the demeanor of one of the top ten Outer Sect disciples.

However, facing this strike, Zhang Su's heart remained calm.

"Clang."

The next moment, Zhang Su also drew his sword.

The Lengshuang Sword unsheathed in an instant.

It seemed to carry a hint of chill.

However, Zhang Su's vital energy was not the least bit inferior to Luo Feng's.

"Boom."

304 strands of vital energy erupted instantly.

Exceeding three hundred strands of vital energy, it also transformed into a Vital Energy Furnace.

It was even stronger than Luo Feng's.

The terrifying pressure of his vital energy instantly overwhelmed Luo Feng's.

"What?"

"This kind of vital energy pressure must exceed three hundred strands!"

"Isn't it said that Zhang Su's cultivation is mediocre? How could he have cultivated over three hundred strands of vital energy?"

Around the arena, many Outer Sect disciples were shocked.

And for Luo Feng, a stormy sea was churning in his heart.

He was right across from Zhang Su, facing that terrifying power of vital energy head-on.

He could clearly feel his own vital energy being suppressed.

One had to remember, he was one of the top ten Outer Sect disciples.

To be suppressed in terms of vital energy?

Only those among the top ten Outer Sect disciples who were ranked higher could suppress him with their vital energy.

But Zhang Su?

He had only been in the Guiyuan Sect for a year.

How could he have cultivated over three hundred strands of vital energy?

Luo Feng could not understand it.

However, Zhang Su's swordsmanship did not seem that dazzling.

It even made Luo Feng feel that it was plain and unremarkable.

Because Zhang Su's sword was merely a light thrust.

There was nothing miraculous about it.

It was simply the nature of the Light Shadow Killing Sword at the Perfection realm.

Silent and traceless, it could unleash the most ferocious killing blow.

As Luo Feng unleashed the grand and imposing Chiyan Sword Technique, Zhang Su's Lengshuang Sword hid within the chaos, arriving silently before Luo Feng.

It completely pierced through the sky full of crimson sword light.

By the time Luo Feng realized it, the Lengshuang Sword was already inches away.

Luo Feng's eyes widened.

A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

He would die!

If he couldn't block this sword, he would truly die!

"Ah..."

Luo Feng exerted every ounce of his strength, shifting his body to the side.

Zhang Su's Lengshuang Sword deviated just a fraction, striking directly into Luo Feng's chest.

Then...

"Clang."

A soft sound rang out.

A look of surprise appeared in Zhang Su's eyes.

The Lengshuang Sword actually couldn't pierce through Luo Feng's body?

"Inner armor?"

Zhang Su immediately thought of a possibility.

Luo Feng was wearing an inner armor.

This piece of inner armor had saved Luo Feng's life.

Otherwise, this sword would have pierced straight through his heart.

But, so what if he had narrowly escaped death?

The sword in Zhang Su's hand flickered.

"Swish, swish, swish."

Suddenly, the sky was filled with sword shadows.

Nine Shadows Sword Technique, One Sword Nine Shadows!

Zhang Su's Nine Shadows Sword Technique had also reached Perfection.

Therefore, he executed it with ease, as natural as breathing.

Luo Feng's heart tightened.

He naturally knew of the Nine Shadows Sword Technique.

These nine sword shadows had no distinction between illusion and reality.

Because every single sword shadow was real.

His longsword spun violently.

It transformed into a curtain of swords, blocking in front of him.

"Clang, clang, clatter."

The two precious swords collided incessantly.

Luo Feng's sword curtain accurately blocked Zhang Su's sword technique.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

All the way to the ninth sword!

Nine sword shadows, nine crisp sounds.

Luo Feng had actually blocked them all.

"Hahaha, blocked! I blocked them all! The Nine Shadows Sword Technique may be strong, but it can do nothing to me..."

Luo Feng was high-spirited, his heart filled with wild joy.

He was one of the top ten disciples of the Outer Sect; his reputation was well-deserved.

However, Luo Feng felt something was very strange.

Why were all the people under the stage staring with wide eyes, mouths agape, their expressions filled with terror, yet there was absolutely no noise?

Everyone was deathly silent.

"Snap."

Even then, Zhang Su sheathed his sword, his gaze merely resting calmly upon Luo Feng.

"Drip, drop."

Drops of fresh blood fell from Luo Feng's body onto the ground.

Luo Feng reached out a hand and touched his neck.

His hand was covered in bright red blood.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, a deep bloody gash on Luo Feng's neck began to spurt blood.

Luo Feng's heart jolted.

When was I struck by his sword? I clearly blocked all nine sword shadows...

Luo Feng did not understand.

He just clutched the bloody gash on his neck tightly.

It seemed he wanted to stop the gushing blood.

However, he could not stop it.

Blood continued to flow out from between his fingers.

He felt the strength in his entire body fading away bit by bit.

A cold sensation lingered in his heart.

Luo Feng's mind was still carefully recalling the moment.

When was he struck?

"Thud."

Luo Feng fell straight to the ground, lifeless.

He was dead!

Luo Feng, one of the dignified top ten disciples of the Outer Sect, had died under Zhang Su's sword.

Yet, until his death, Luo Feng never knew when exactly he had been struck.

However, while Luo Feng was unaware, everyone beneath the Life and Death Arena had seen it clearly.

Almost all of them had seen it.

Under the cover of the nine sword shadows filling the sky, Zhang Su had actually thrust one more sword.

That strike was silent and soundless, yet its speed was pushed to the absolute limit.

Moreover, it had merged into those nine sword shadows, making it impossible to defend against.

While Luo Feng was still attempting to block the nine sword shadows, he had, in fact, already been struck.

It was just that Luo Feng had not realized it at the time.

His entire focus had been on those nine sword shadows.

Silence!

The surroundings were deathly silent!

This was the Life and Death Arena; injuries and deaths were of no consequence!

Zhang Su turned around and walked off the arena step by step.

The crowd automatically parted to create a path.

Zhang Su took Chu Dachuan and the other two, leaving the arena without looking back.

"Boom."

Only when the figures of Zhang Su and his group disappeared did the crowd erupt into an uproar.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng actually died?"

"Even his inner armor couldn't protect Senior Brother Luo Feng..."

"That sword just now was too terrifying. It merged into the nine sword shadows without a sound. Senior Brother Luo Feng could block the nine sword shadows, but he couldn't block that terrifying strike!"

"If I'm not mistaken, that was the Light Shadow Killing Sword, right? No one has mastered the Light Shadow Killing Sword for a long time; many people didn't even know the terror of it. This sword technique kills invisibly—it is extremely terrifying."

"Who said Zhang Su's Light Shadow Killing Sword was only at the Great Success stage? This is clearly at the Perfection stage..."

"A peerless sword technique at Perfection... Senior Brother Luo Feng didn't die in vain..."

At this moment, many people seemed to have only just realized the true terror of Zhang Su.

Furthermore, starting from today, Zhang Su had officially ascended to the position of one of the top ten disciples of the Guiyuan Sect Outer Sect!

This was not merely a change in a roster or a change in a name.

This was equivalent to an earthquake within the Guiyuan Sect Outer Sect!
