"You are the first person I sacrificed my blood after mastering the Four Seasons Swordsmanship. You can rest in peace now..."
After stabilizing the four internal energies within his body, Han Long gently stroked the dark blade of the Revolving Wheel Sword with his fingers, exuding the same confidence.
The Four Seasons Swordsmanship, Grandmaster -level skill, paired with the Grandmaster Primordial Four Aspects Art, is a perfect match. Even though he has only mastered the Entering the Hall and Inner Chamber, its power is still quite remarkable, capable of doubling his combat strength.
Killing that kid on the other side is a piece of cake!
Unfortunately, before Han Long could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by a greatsword thrusting forward. Who else could it be but Wang Hao?
Startled, Han Long quickly used his lightness skill to dodge, then looked at Wang Hao with a serious expression.
This kid seems to have gotten a lot stronger just now!
"Let's fight! Stop with the nonsense!"
Looking calmly at Han Long, Wang Hao stomped his foot heavily on the ground and charged forward again. His Shameless Greatsword followed suit, the force was the same, but much more refined, and the moves were also much more perfect. The timing and angle of the attack were exquisite.
He had already activated his Dao Comprehension Function, and only in this way could he deal with Han Long at full power.
With time limited, he stopped wasting words and launched an attack directly on Han Long.
"Impossible! Impossible! You should die!"
Having dodged Wang Hao's fierce attack once again, Han Long sensed a strong, deadly threat emanating from Wang Hao and suddenly went berserk, launching a fierce offensive with his Revolving Wheel Sword.
With the support of the Primordial Four Aspects Art, his sword techniques were no longer limited to the Torrential Rain Swordsmanship of the Four Seasons Sword Instruction. He also unleashed the other three techniques, the Drizzle Swordsmanship, the Gloomy Rain Swordsmanship, and the Cold Snow Swordsmanship, with their power more than double that of before.
Combined with their extremely fast movement and light footwork, it was as if four Han Long appeared on the training ground, each using a different sword technique to attack Wang Hao, or rather, to surround him.
Of course, using four sword techniques simultaneously consumes a lot of internal energy, but after taking the Hundred Herbs Pill for ten days, his internal energy had reached the limit of the Super-First-Rate, which was enough to sustain him for a period of time.
He will surely be able to kill this brat during this time!
With the blessing of the Dao Comprehension Function, Wang Hao's comprehension was greatly enhanced. Comprehension is a manifestation of talent, which naturally includes combat talent.
At this moment, Wang Hao transformed into a combat genius, unleashing his combat power many times over, and actually managed to withstand Han Long's Four Seasons Sword Instruction in a head-on battle.
"Ding ding ding..."
The two divine swords clashed and collided rapidly, more than twice as intensely as before, and from the outside, they appeared to be evenly matched.
This scene shocked Zhao Fengxue, who had just sat down, so she stood up again, staring in disbelief at the two figures locked in fierce combat in the training ground.
He originally thought that the previous battle was Wang Hao's limit, but who would have thought that the kid actually had a trump card up his sleeve, and one that was so powerful.
Lu Weilou, Hou Shangxing, and the others also stood up in shock, all staring at the battle in disbelief.
With their keen eyesight, they could naturally see that Wang Hao's speed and strength had not increased, but the sophistication and application of his swordsmanship had skyrocketed to a whole new level, leaving them in awe in many ways.
This is a combat genius!
Soon, the group redefined Wang Hao with a label—an extremely rare one.
Zhao Fengxue and Lu Weilou were overjoyed, but Hou Shangxing, Fu Lin, and the others looked much gloomy, and even revealed a murderous intent.
Wang Hao's cultivation talent is already extremely monstrous, not only in swordsmanship but also in external martial arts. Now, with the added label of combat genius, he's defying the heavens!
No, we absolutely cannot let this child grow up!
Hou Shangxing and the others exchanged glances and reached a tacit agreement, but before they could make a move, they felt themselves locked in by an aura, an aura that was extremely terrifying.
Even Hou Shangxing, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Grandmaster level, was pale-faced, and his vest was soaked with cold sweat.
"Let the younger generation handle their own affairs; you shouldn't get involved."
His calm voice echoed in their ears, causing their internal energy to surge and almost making them spit out blood.
As the words fell, the aura that had locked onto the group dissipated, but Hou Shangxing and the others dared not harbor any further delusions. They then looked in horror toward the location of the Martial Repository Pavilion.
That was the direction from which that terrifying aura came!
Zhao Fengxue and Lu Weilou looked towards the direction of the Martial Repository Pavilion with surprise, because they realized that it was Elder Chu had just made a move.
Although they were hundreds of feet apart, it was not surprising that Elder Chu, as a Half-Step Great Grandmaster who had cultivated his Sword Intent to its peak, possessed such miraculous skills.
With Elder Chu's support, Lu Weilou and Zhao Fengxue breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Hou Shangxing and Fu Lin would shamelessly join forces to hold them back and then kill Wang Hao on the spot.
If that were to happen, even if they could make the group pay a heavy price afterward, it would be too late to undo the damage.
Wang Hao was unaware of the changes happening to everyone on the platform; at this moment, he was completely focused on his battle with Han Long.
However, unlike before, he did not waste time trying to Insight Han Long's swordsmanship, but instead devoted all his attention to enhancing his own Ten Stances of Bloody Battle.
Since the Dao Comprehension Function can be used in battle, it can naturally accelerate the cultivation of the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle.
However, such an action would be too wasteful, and given the previous shortage of Fortune Points, he did not do so.
But this time it's different!
Since it's destined that we must activate the Dao Comprehension Function to contend with Han Long, we should maximize its value.
Even though he had Insight Han Long's Four Seasons Sword Instruction through his Dao Comprehension Function, he only had a basic understanding of this sword technique and had not improved himself.
However, if all of that energy is channeled into the cultivation of the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle, then it will be an enhancement of one's own strength.
He prefers the latter to the former.
With the Dao Comprehension Function, the progress of cultivating the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle can be described as soaring rapidly, almost changing every second.
At the same time, Han Long, who was fully unleashing the Four Seasons Sword Instruction, also became a good sparring partner, indirectly accelerating Wang Hao's training speed in the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle.
"Clang!"
Suddenly, the two who had been engaged in a rapid battle separated after their swords clashed once. Wang Hao remained calm, but Han Long's breathing became rapid and his aura fluctuated, clearly indicating that he had expended a great deal of energy.
"Impossible, impossible! I've mastered the Primordial Four Aspects Art and the Four Seasons Sword Instruction. You can't possibly be my match. How come you haven't died by my sword?"
Holding the Revolving Wheel Sword, Han Long questioned Wang Hao hysterically, as if Wang Hao should have died by his sword as the right ending.
"Enough talk, let's settle this with one strike!"
Wang Hao placed the Shameless Greatsword with the tip pointing downwards on his left side, calmly staring at the increasingly frenzied Han Long opposite him.
He stopped his Dao Comprehension Function immediately after they separated, because he no longer needed it!
Just now, his Ten Stances of Bloody Battle finally achieved a major breakthrough, surpassing the Peak Perfection and reaching a state of Transcendent Mastery.
The Peak Perfection of martial arts refers to the highest level of a martial art, while the Transcendent Mastery beyond that is a sublimation based on the Peak Perfection, completely transforming it into one's own martial art.
In this way, not only will the power of martial arts be stronger, but it will also increase as the practitioner's cultivation level improves, making it a technique with limitless potential.
However, potential is for the future and cannot be used for now. What we need to use now is the enhanced power!
At the same time, he finally became one with the Shameless Greatsword in his hand, feeling as if the entire sword was an extension of his arm, and he could even faintly sense the trace of spirituality of the Ziwei Soft Sword sealed inside.
For some time now, he has been forcing out a drop of blood from the tip of his tongue every day, which then seeps into the groove on the hilt of the Shameless Greatsword. The blood seeps into the Ziwei Soft Sword through the gaps left during its forging, continuously refining it.
Unfortunately, his blood from the tip of his tongue was still too weak, so much so that there was no reaction after a month. But who would have thought that after breaking through to the highest level of Transcendent Mastery in the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle, he finally sensed the Sisi of Acquired Spirituality of the Ziwei Soft Sword.
This is a remarkable improvement!
"Die!"
Driven to utter madness by the blow, Han Long roared ferociously and charged forward, transforming into four phantoms while wielding the Revolving Wheel Sword. This was also a major killing move of the Four Seasons Sword Instruction.
" Two Armies Facing Off!"
Faced with this powerful attack, Wang Hao used his True Spirit Sword Intent to lock onto Han Long's true form and unleashed the most powerful static burst of the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle: Two Armies Facing Off.
The greatsword in his hand slashed rapidly upwards at a diagonal angle, its force incredibly fierce.
Just as the greatsword was unleashed, a fierce and powerful Sword Intent suddenly erupted from it, causing Han Long, who was directly opposite, to be momentarily stunned, and his sword move to have a major flaw.
"Clang!"
"Laugh!"
The two divine swords clashed again, but this time it was not as evenly matched as before. The Revolving Wheel Sword was directly slashed into the sky, while Wang Hao's Shameless Greatsword continued its momentum and struck Han Long's right arm.
"Snap!"
"Ah!"
Han Long clutched his severely deformed right arm and screamed in agony. The madness and murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at Wang Hao were gone, replaced by fear.
The Sword Intent carried by that move just now completely shattered all his ruthlessness and courage. You must know that that Sword Intent is something only Grandmaster- level expert is qualified to cultivate!
If he hadn't been wearing a precious robe that could withstand even a thousand- Spirit Refinement, his arm would probably have been severed in one blow.
Unfortunately, the protective armor could only withstand the sharpness of the divine sword, but it couldn't withstand the immense force carried by the Shameless Greatsword, resulting in the arm bone being broken.
Not daring to confront Wang Hao again, Han Long turned and ran towards the high platform, calling for help as he ran.
"Godfather, save me!"
"Laugh!"
Unfortunately, what awaited him was a longsword, a longsword that Zhao Fengxue had flung out. The divine sword, carrying sword energy, pierced through his chest along with his precious robe, pinning his body to the ground.
Although Han Long had broken through to the Super-First-Rate, he was still far inferior to a veteran Grandmaster like Zhao Fengxue. In addition, he had lost an arm and the Revolving Wheel Sword, leaving him with less than one-tenth of his strength, and he was instantly killed in one blow.
Hou Shangxing had no intention of stopping him at all. Han Long, who had mastered the Primordial Four Aspects Art and the Four Seasons Sword Instruction, did indeed have great potential and was worth the cost of saving him. However, compared to Wang Hao's monstrous performance, he was far inferior.
Without comparison, there is no difference; once there is comparison, he is nothing but trash, and not worth his time.
In comparison, that freakish young man deserves more attention.
That must be Sword Intent!
"..."
Looking incredulously at the long sword embedded in his chest, Han Long glanced at Hou Shangxing, who hadn't even looked at him, and finally despaired. After despair came resentment.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but the sword energy that entered his body extinguished his last vestige of life. In the end, his body, filled with resentment and bitterness, went limp and he lost all life.
