Phantom Sword Art Against the Army-Breaking Sword Technique

Behind a large rock in the distance, Ji Qingqing grabbed Lin Amei was about to leave.

"Don't move."

"What's wrong, sir?"

"We'll go out when Lord Lu calls us."

Ji Qingqing lowered her voice, her eyes fixed on the two figures in the arena.

She had seen it clearly just now; the Sword Qi had passed right through Lu Feng.

Although her cultivation level was low, her intuition told her that going out now would only cause trouble.

The group exchanged glances and fell silent, shrinking behind the boulder, afraid to utter a sound.

In the arena, Lu Feng spoke first, "Although I killed the White-Foreheaded Tiger Demon King, it was only because Senior Brother Zhao chased it all the way here that I was able to get this advantage."

"I've already collected the essence blood. How about leaving the beast core and corpse to my senior brother?"

Zhao Changgeng was slightly taken aback, then felt a sense of relief.

He was initially worried that Lu Feng wouldn't agree, since the White-Foreheaded Tiger Demon King's corpse was extremely valuable.

As long as you bring the beast core and the corpse back and hand them over, you'll be more than qualified to exchange them for a Low-Grade Spirit Artifact.

Lu Feng didn't know the true value of the corpse, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

He bent down and reached out towards the corpse of the White-Foreheaded Tiger Demon King.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the tiger's head, an extremely heavy Saber Force exploded out of his side without warning.

Lu Feng made his move.

With the Ink-Sunken Saber activated at full power, the Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash crashed down.

Zhao Changgeng's expression finally changed.

He never expected Lu Feng to be so decisive.

If he dodges now, this strike will surely land on the corpse of the White-Foreheaded Tiger Demon King.

If the body is destroyed and taken back to the higher-ups, they won't be able to recognize it, and this chase will have been a complete waste.

He dared not gamble.

Zhao Changgeng gritted his teeth and unleashed his full power to activate his True Essence.

His True Essence essence condensed into a thick protective shield around his body, and at the same time, he reached out and put the corpse of the White-Foreheaded Tiger Demon King into his storage bag.

The moment the body was taken away, Ink-Sunken Saber fell.

"Boom!"

The protective shield was struck head-on by the Saber Force and shattered instantly.

The shattered fragments of True Essence light scattered and flew in all directions, leveling the surrounding vegetation.

After most of the Saber Force's power was neutralized by the protective aura, the remaining force still landed on Zhao Changgeng's right shoulder.

A piercing pain shot through him, and Zhao Changgeng was sent flying several meters away, taking several steps back before finally regaining his footing.

His robe was torn on his right shoulder, and a long gash stretched from his shoulder to his back, blood seeping out and staining half of his blue robe red.

He knelt on one knee, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. When he looked up at Lu Feng, the killing intent in his eyes was no longer concealed.

Lu Feng sheathed his sword and stood calmly; he had seen through it all long ago. Zhao Changgeng had attacked him first, then pretended to be acting out a misunderstanding. He wasn't buying it.

"Why did the commander get into a fight with Lord Zhao?"

"My lord! What's going on?"

The people hiding behind the boulder were shocked to see this and turned to look at Ji Qingqing.

They had only listened to Ji Qingqing and hadn't gone out, but now that swords were drawn against each other, it was clearly no longer a misunderstanding.

Ji Qingqing didn't answer, but instead asked a question in return:

Whom do you believe?

"Of course, it's the Commander!"

Lin Amei was the first to speak, her tone showing no hesitation whatsoever.

For her, Lu Feng was the best commander she had ever encountered.

He personally shielded them from the demonic beasts, collected their essence and blood, and even let them go first during the retreat while he stayed behind at the very back.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"In that case, we must trust our commander."

"If you win, we'll pretend we didn't see anything. If you lose..."

Ji Qingqing paused, then bit her lip.

"If the master loses, we'll find a way to escape back and tell the higher-ups what happened here! We'll avenge the master!"

At the same time, Zhao Changgeng slowly stood up in the field ahead.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced down at the still-bleeding wound on his shoulder, and the last trace of feigned smile vanished from his eyes.

"No wonder he was able to kill the White-Foreheaded Tiger Demon King in one move. He truly deserves to be called a genius."

His right hand gripped the sword hilt tightly, and a fierce Sword Intent suddenly surged from his body.

' Army-Breaking Sword Technique!'

The man and the sword seemed to merge into one, transforming into a streak of azure light that swiftly pierced towards Lu Feng.

It was so fast that it left the air behind it, producing a sharp, explosive sound.

Lu Feng dared not be careless.

With the True Essence Protecting the Body and the Immeasurable Golden Body Art activated simultaneously, a layer of pale golden light first appeared around the body, and then a thin armor formed from True Essence covered the outside of the light.

He gripped the sword with both hands, and the power of the Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash Saber Force condensed on the blade.

A heavy pressure pressed down on Zhao Changgeng, causing his speed to slow down slightly for a moment.

However, under the counteracting force of that sharp Sword Intent, the heavy Saber Force was reduced by more than half, and Zhao Changgeng's sword still thrust forward with unstoppable momentum.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided head-on.

The shockwave exploded from the two people, sending rubble and fallen leaves within a radius of several meters soaring into the sky.

Lu Feng's True Essence aura shattered under the impact of the Sword Intent, and the pale golden light dimmed suddenly, on the verge of being completely breached.

At that critical moment, both forces were exhausted and dissipated.

Lu Feng stumbled back several meters before regaining his balance, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground. Zhao Changgeng only took two steps back.

However, their expressions were completely opposite.

Lu Feng remained calm, but Zhao Changgeng's expression changed drastically, his shock barely concealed.

"How is this possible? I unleashed my Sword Intent, and you weren't injured at all, only forced back a few steps?"

He couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe that his Great Grandmaster cultivation combined with his Sword Intent couldn't even break through the defense of an Early Grandmaster.

Zhao Changgeng once again gathered his Sword Intent and unleashed the Army-Breaking Sword Technique for the second time.

This time, Lu Feng did not use the Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash.

He channeled his True Essence, simultaneously unleashing the Phantom Steps and Phantom Sword Art to their fullest potential.

With a swift movement, six figures of Lu Feng appeared in the arena.

Each one carried the exact same aura, each one held Ink-Sunken Saber, and even the folds of their robes were identical.

Zhao Changgeng's Sword Force suddenly stopped.

Six Lu Feng!

Each one looks real.

His Great Grandmaster perception spread out, yet he couldn't distinguish which one was the true form.

In that instant of hesitation, six figures attacked him simultaneously.

Zhao Changgeng had no choice. He could only grit his teeth and stab one of the wounds.

The moment the sword pierced the figure, a sharp Sword Intent suddenly erupted from within the figure.

The Sword Qi sealed within the illusion was triggered, and it rebounded towards Zhao Changgeng.

"Sword Intent! You actually comprehended Sword Intent too!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Zhao Changgeng's eyes, but a sinister smile quickly spread across his face.

"Unfortunately, you've been exposed!"
