"Clang clang clang..."
Han Long unleashed his full power of movement and swordsmanship, transforming into several phantoms that surrounded Wang Hao. His Revolving Wheel Sword danced, emitting streaks of dark sword light, radiating murderous intent.
Wang Hao was not to be outdone, and he went all out, unleashing the full power of the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle to fight speed with speed, forcefully blocking Han Long's offensive.
The sound of the two divine swords clashing was like a torrential downpour, almost continuous.
" The Torrential Rain Swordsmanship in the Four Seasons Sword Instruction is indeed extraordinary!"
As Wang Hao tenaciously resisted Han Long's rapid attacks, he was filled with admiration.
He knew the swordsmanship Han Long was using, after all, he had memorized the entire catalog of First-Rate martial arts manuals.
Among them was the Torrential Rain Swordsmanship used by Han Long!
This Torrential Rain Swordsmanship is no simple matter; it is part of the Four Seasons Sword Instruction, Grandmaster- level sword technique, and even if it were listed separately, it would still First-Rate top-tier martial art.
Furthermore, Han Long's movement techniques allowed him to unleash his full power, making his combat strength comparable to Zhao Dachui's, at least on par with a typical Early-Stage Super-First-Rate martial artist.
However, Wang Hao did not let his guard down. In his perception of the True Spirit Sword Intent, Han Long was no less threatening than Zhao Dachui at the moment, obviously he had other powerful trump cards that he had not yet used.
Of course, Wang Hao didn't say this out loud, but continued his rapid battle with Han Long.
Encountering an opponent like Han Long is no less than being besieged by a group of masters. It is also a test for the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle. At this moment, he can clearly sense that his Ten Stances of Bloody Battle are improving little by little.
The Ten Stances of Bloody Battle are crucial to the display of one's own strength and have the greatest impact on combat power, so he was naturally happy to continue fighting fiercely with Han Long like this.
Of course, more importantly, Wang Hao did not forget to use the True Spirit Sword Intent to Insight Han Long's Torrential Rain Swordsmanship. Although the Hall Master Zhao Fengxue had personally come over a few days ago to fight him several times with the Torrential Rain Swordsmanship, he had already memorized the moves of the Torrential Rain Swordsmanship.
However, the same sword technique will yield different results when practiced by different people. He now needs to see through Han Long's difference and then Insight the flaw within it.
After adapting to Han Long's current offensive intensity and confirming that it wouldn't improve the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle, a cold glint flashed in Wang Hao's eyes.
Suddenly switching from defense to offense, ignoring the divine sword aimed at his face, he unleashed the Force Like Splitting Bamboo of the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle with his Shameless Greatsword, thrusting it forward directly at the hidden flaw in Han Long's move.
This attack seemed like a suicidal attack, but it should be noted that Wang Hao was exceptionally tall, more than two feet taller than Han Long, and his Shameless Greatsword was nearly two feet longer than the Revolving Wheel Sword.
This would increase his attack range by nearly four feet, ensuring he could strike his opponent before the Revolving Wheel Sword could reach him.
As expected, Han Long was shocked when he saw Wang Hao's sword strike. He quickly suppressed the backlash and withdrew his attack, instead turning his Revolving Wheel Sword to block the rapidly thrusting sword.
"Clang!"
The tip of the Shameless Greatsword, carrying a fierce and domineering force, pierced the blade of the Revolving Wheel Sword, causing the straight blade to bend dangerously. Han Long's entire body was then propelled backward by the powerful force.
"You've become stronger, and you've seen through my swordsmanship!"
Han Long, who had stumbled back more than ten steps before regaining his balance, stared at Wang Hao opposite him in disbelief, his face growing even more grim.
He realized that although he tried his best to overestimate Wang Hao, he had actually underestimated him.
He was quite certain that Wang Hao had indeed given his all in the initial battle, yet he could only passively adopt a defensive posture. But now he was able to launch a counterattack with ease.
What's most terrifying is that the sword strike just now was too ingenious, directly targeting the subtle flaw in his move, forcing him to change his strategy midway.
This was no coincidence; it meant his opponent had seen through the flaw in his swordsmanship!
"Now that I know my opponent is you, I naturally need to find someone to learn about the Torrential Rain Swordsmanship. Is it so strange that I can see through your weaknesses?"
Wang Hao said nonchalantly, not caring about this at all.
Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, Han Long subconsciously turned his gaze to Zhao Fengxue, who was sitting on the high platform.
"Master Zhao is truly ruthless; he goes to such lengths to deal with his own subordinates!"
Fu Lin mocked Yin and Yang, and Ye Qingqian and the other two also shared a hint of sarcasm.
"I was forced into this situation. I heard that Han Long has been receiving secret training at your Mystic Water Hall for the past month. Am I correct?"
Zhao Fengxue was unmoved by the four people's mockery, and instead asked a pointed question in return.
The various branches of the Blood Robe Tower had long established rules that their subordinates were not allowed to cross boundaries or collude, and those who violated these rules would be executed without mercy.
This rule was established to maintain the independence of each branch, enhance competition, and prevent traitors from emerging, causing management chaos, and ultimately leading to internal conflicts.
It's clear that Fu Lin and his group crossed the line in their dealings with Han Long, but he didn't find concrete evidence; otherwise, he would have already killed Han Long.
These words not only caused a slight change in the expressions of Fu Lin and the other three, but also changed the expression of Hou Shangxing, who had been silent with a gloomy face.
If Zhao Fengxue were to find evidence, then the pawn he had placed in the Blood Robe Tower would be rendered useless.
"Master Zhao, don't speak recklessly without evidence!"
Having regained his composure, Fu Lin replied calmly, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation.
"Hmph! You'd better pray you don't give me any leverage!"
With a cold snort, Zhao Fengxue decided not to continue the discussion, since saying more would be useless before finding concrete evidence.
"You'd better use your true strength! You can't kill me with these methods now!"
Glancing at the countless tiny sword marks on the greatsword's blade, Wang Hao looked arrogantly at Han Long opposite him; he didn't want to continue being so bored.
And I imagine Han Long on the other side must think the same way.
The Revolving Wheel Sword was indeed incredibly sharp, but its sharpest point was only the tip; the edge itself was rather ordinary. Furthermore, Han Long was a speed-oriented swordsman, not particularly strong in terms of power.
Therefore, despite the power of the Revolving Wheel Sword, it could not cut through the Shameless Greatsword; at most, it would leave a sword mark half an inch deep, which was harmless.
"Since you're so eager to die, then so be it!"
After a moment of internal struggle, Han Long finally made up his mind, glaring menacingly at Wang Hao, his killing intent surging, and his entire aura suddenly changed.
" Primordial Four Aspects Art!"
Sensing the strange aura emanating from Han Long after his transformation, Zhao Fengxue, who was sitting on the high platform, suddenly stood up. Her face turned extremely ugly, and she abruptly turned to look at Fu Lin, Ye Qingqian, and the other three beside her, demanding sharply, "You still say Han Long didn't collude with you? Where did he get his Primordial Four Aspects Art? And why does he possess your power?"
As Grandmaster- level expert, Zhao Fengxue could naturally sense the power of Fu Lin and the other three within Han Long's body, indicating that he had been empowered by their power.
This is undeniable betrayal, and the most compelling evidence of it!
"Clang clang!"
With a cold snort, Zhao Fengxue said no more, drew her two swords, and prepared to jump down to eliminate Han Long from her ranks.
Previously, we couldn't take action without evidence, but now that the evidence is irrefutable, there's no need to keep that traitor alive.
"Master Zhao, you'd better sit down. After all, it's a life-or-death battle between two juniors. It would be impolite for you to interfere now."
To everyone's surprise, Fu Lin and his three companions seemed to have been prepared, drawing their swords and stepping in front of Zhao Fengxue with mocking expressions.
Despite this irrefutable evidence, only Han Long suffered the consequences; the other four would not suffer any losses.
After all, that rule was only meant to restrict the assassins under his command; those who made the rules were naturally not subject to it.
"Lord Lu, I hope to watch today's life-or-death battle unfold smoothly. Is this small request too much?"
At this Hou Shangxing also spoke up, using his own aura to lock onto Lu Weilou beside him, preventing him from making a move.
"This request is certainly not unreasonable!"
Lu Weilou replied coldly, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes, clearly showing he was truly enraged.
Although he was furious, he did not make a move, because Hou Shangxing was a Peak Grandmaster expert, no weaker than him, and even if he made a move, he would be stopped by him.
Furthermore, given that he was the Chief Executioner of the Eastern Depot, second only to the Director of the Eastern Depot, and that the Blood Robe Tower was an organization under the name of the Eastern Depot, it was really not advisable to cause too much trouble.
"I'll remember this debt!"
Seeing this, Zhao Fengxue knew she couldn't make a move. After glaring hatefully at Fu Lin, Ye Qingqian, and the other three in front of her, she sat back down, but her two longswords remained sheathed, and she made a stance as if she was still about to attack.
You've made my life difficult, and I'll make yours difficult too.
Let's just stand here and soak up the sun on this hot day!
Fu Lin and the other three felt aggrieved watching Zhao Fengxue's shameless behavior, but they could only continue to stand there and block him, lest the old man Zhao Fengxue really make another move and all their efforts be in vain.
" The Primordial Four Aspects Art? Grandmaster- level technique?"
Wang Hao naturally saw what was happening on the high platform and heard Zhao Fengxue's exclamation, but he had never heard of the Primordial Four Aspects Art.
The technique that could shock Zhao Fengxue so much must be extraordinary, so it must not be Second-rate martial art. He had already read the catalogs and introductions of First-Rate martial arts, and there was no Primordial Four Aspects Art.
In that case, it can only be a Grandmaster- level technique!
" The Primordial Four Aspects Art is Grandmaster -level skill that can be used in conjunction with the Four Seasons Swordsmanship. It can cultivate four types of Acquired True Qi, and its power is considerable when used in conjunction with the Four Seasons Swordsmanship."
There are two cultivation methods: one is to cultivate independently after reaching the Acquired Realm, and the other is to rely on four Grandmaster- level experts to infuse their power into the cultivation, thus forcibly achieving it.
Han Long used the second method. Even though his cultivation level was limited to only reaching the Entering the Hall and Inner Chamber level, he was still not someone you could handle. If you really couldn't manage, just admit defeat and leave the battle. I will join forces with the Lord to protect you."
Just as Wang Hao was wondering, a secret voice entered his ears. It was Zhao Fengxue who transmitted the Sound Transmission into the Ear.
He was also afraid that Wang Hao would recklessly confront him without knowing his own limitations, and if he were to perish here, he would suffer a huge loss.
This also shows that he underestimated Han Long's audacity and the Shameless of Fu Lin Ye Qingqian, and the other two, who dared to do such a thing.
If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have let Wang Hao play.
"No need to admit defeat, I will surely win this battle!"
Wang Hao, who understood the situation perfectly, displayed absolute confidence, which remained unshaken even after Han Long mastered a Grandmaster- level technique.
You have amazing skills, but I have cheat codes too!
