The reason a sword cultivator's sword could shatter all arts with a single strike was, ultimately, that it was fast enough.
Before absolute speed, every spell had a flaw.
Thus, when countering sword cultivators, most cultivators began by restricting their speed.
Check their sword intent, break their sword intent, shatter their sword qi.
In this way, they reduced the flying sword's speed.
A martial artist's ability to shatter all arts with strength was, in fact, much the same.
Just as with speed, once pure strength reached its utmost limit, neither techniques nor spells had any means of stopping it at the instant that strength erupted.
It could be said that speed and strength were the two most ordinary yet most powerful origin laws of the Heavenly Dao, and also the two best suited to offensive power.
It was precisely for this reason.

However, that punch of Xu Taiping's had only broken Lu Sibai's spell, not defeated the man himself.
"Clang!"
Then, as another sword cry rang out, Lu Sibai's gaze suddenly sharpened after his brief astonishment, and he gave a cold snort, his killing intent boiling.
"You actually dared hide your ability in front of me!"
As he spoke, he rapidly recited an incantation, then firmly swept his sword fingers, brimming with spiritual power, along the blade of his flying sword!
"Boom..."
With an explosive blast of qi, Lu Sibai's scattered sword qi was forcibly gathered back together.
At the same time, the sword intent that had nearly dissipated abruptly re-formed with that sweep of his sword fingers.
The next moment, a lion shadow twice or three times as large
