In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

hum!

The stalemate between the golden swords suddenly erupted with a terrifying hissing sword light. In an instant, the golden light exploded, and streams of sharp and fierce golden sword energy burst forth and surged toward the Star Soul.

Eighty percent of the energy was gathered into a blade!

Xinghun's skill in gathering qi into a blade reached its peak, and the sword energy in his hand surged to over ten feet, unleashing a devastating attack.

With eighty percent of its power gathered into a blade, the sword energy, carrying a domineering force that could stir up heaven and earth, swept away all sword energy.

However, a whooshing sound followed immediately, and a golden sword beam, seemingly capable of cutting through space and indestructible, burst forth with terrifying destructive power.

This is the true power of the Crescent Moon Sword Technique.

boom!

The clash of sword energy and sword light instantly sent hundreds of sword energies shooting out from the hall, as if to shatter the entire hall into pieces.

Zhao Gao, Fu Nian, Zhao Longxiang, and other masters in the hall acted simultaneously, blocking the sword energy that splashed out during the clash between the two sides.

"So strong!"

At this moment, the group of Confucian disciples looked at the two boys in disbelief.

Why are they both teenagers, yet Xinghun and Zizhong possess such terrifying power, while they are completely powerless?

"Come again!"

Zi Zhong looked at Xing Hun's sword light and swung his longsword out again.

The incomparably sharp sword light was filled with an aura of destruction. This sword strike transcended time and space, and the terrifying golden light carried a vast sword momentum as it came to annihilate.

Even Xinghun was taken aback by this sight.

Faced with the seemingly destructive and awe-inspiring golden sword energy, Xinghun unleashed his Qi Condensation Blade to its fullest extent. The full power of the Qi Condensation Blade almost ruptured his meridians, and the three-zhang sword aura transformed into a towering sword, slashing down.

The powerful sword energy, carrying the might to tear apart heaven and earth, shattered the fierce and turbulent golden sword curtain and collided suddenly with the golden sword light!

boom!

The sword energy and sword light erupted once more, and bursts of energy swept through the hall, forcing everyone to take action again to protect Fusu and the Confucian disciples.

The stone slab shattered, and the messy, deep sword marks on the ground were a shocking sight.

puff!

The two sides seemed evenly matched, but the domineering power of Xinghun's fully concentrated Qi into a blade meant that he would kill a thousand enemies but also lose eight hundred of his own.

In contrast, Zi Zhong was protected within three feet of himself by a hazy yet powerful innate aura, which blocked the terrifying sword energy that had just erupted from his heart, allowing him to retreat safely.

"Innate Qi!"

Zhao Gao and Zhang Han looked at the boy in disbelief, never expecting that Zizhong had actually mastered the Innate Qi.

It is known that Emperor Ying Zheng had mastered the Innate Qi, so they were familiar with its domineering defense. Not to mention that the Star Soul's Qi-gathering blade was neutralized by the golden sword qi, even if the boy directly took a powerful Qi-gathering blade attack, it would not harm him in the slightest.

As the dust settled, everyone looked at the injured Xinghun, who was coughing up blood, and the unharmed young Zizhong, with expressions of disbelief.

The same applies to Fu Nian.

It should be noted that Xinghun is a protector of the Yin-Yang School, on par with Yue Shen and Dong Jun, and has already entered the peerless realm.

Unexpectedly, they were still defeated by the young man from the Zhang family, even though their cultivation level was higher than his. This forced them to re-evaluate the young man before them.

"excuse me!"

Zizhong sheathed his sword, stood up, and bowed respectfully.

At this moment, Xinghun also looked at the young man Zizhong with resentment. Not to mention that he did not think he was weaker than anyone else, let alone a boy who was younger than him.

This battle shattered Xinghun's arrogance; even with his unparalleled cultivation level, he was still defeated by the young Zizhong.

"Based on the Longevity Technique, he activates the innate Taoist energy, achieving a seamless integration. He truly deserves to be called the Zhang family's prodigy!"

In this battle, it wasn't that Xinghun truly lost.

His injury was the backlash from forcibly activating his full power of Qi to form a blade, but even so, it still couldn't suppress Zi Zhong's golden sword light.

With the unparalleled defense provided by his innate protective energy, Zi Zhong was already in an invincible position.

Therefore, Xinghun did not argue, but turned around and returned to his seat.

No one present laughed at Xinghun. Those two fierce impacts were real sword energy and sword light, and even if Fu Nian had gone up against them, he might not have fared much better.

"It seems the Confucian school has won this battle!"

At this moment, Fusu 620 also looked rather grim.

It wasn't that he couldn't accept defeat, but rather that despite gathering so much strength, he had been defeated twice in a row by the Confucian school.

This has already damaged the empire's reputation; if word gets out, it will be detrimental to the empire.

Therefore, in the next battle, the Empire must win at least one, in order to preserve its dignity.

"For the next match... we would like to ask Master Xiaomeng to lend her her expertise!"

Master Xiaomeng?

Most of the people present looked at each other, puzzled.

But everyone who knew about it changed their expressions slightly, not expecting that Fusu would even invite this person.

At the same time, a graceful and slender figure appeared in the main hall. Her long green summer Taoist robe covered her exquisite and slender figure. With each step she left a phantom, she was none other than the Taoist Heavenly Sect's ultimate technique - Harmony with the World!

This scene also caught the eye of Zizhong and Zijun.

Although this is the ultimate technique of the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Sect, it is not a difficult task for the two of them.

As fellow Taoists, they had already reached extremely high levels in their Lingbo Weibu and Spiral Nine Shadows techniques. Therefore, their understanding of "Harmony with the World" was not as mysterious as that of others. Instead, as Master Xiaomeng displayed her skills, the secrets were gradually revealed to them.

"Xiaomeng greets Young Master!"

Everyone looked at the elegant and beautiful young Taoist nun. Her cool and charming attire was completely unlike that of a Taoist with a calm and tranquil mind.

"Greetings, Master Xiaomeng!"

Fusu nodded. Next, he would be facing the Zhang family's daughter. Fusu felt that Xiaomeng was also a Taoist genius, so he had some confidence in dealing with her.

"Greetings, Senior Xiaomeng!"

Amidst everyone's shock, Fu Nian and the other two stood up and bowed respectfully.

Although Xiaomeng is young, she is of high seniority. She is a disciple of Xiaoyaozi of the Taoist Tianzong sect and is a senior of the same generation as Xun Qing.

"We have no connection with each other, so there's no need for such formalities!"

Xiaomeng has come today solely to fulfill your request, young master, to lend a hand once.

Chapter 702 Snowflakes Falling from the Sky VS The World Losing Its Color

"A Confucian scholar greets his senior!"

Looking at the young man who emerged, his voice clear and crisp, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, even Xiaomeng couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly, her eyes showing a serious expression, and she exclaimed in surprise:

"As expected of the Phoenix Girl of the Zhang family, she has already mastered the Longevity Technique at such a young age!"

The Longevity Formula is divided into seven branches, which are:

Beginner, minor success, major success, and the state of perfection.

Zizhong's true qi belongs to the ultimate yang true qi, while Zijun cultivates the ultimate yin true qi, and they are at the same level. At the same time, they also cultivate a metal meridian and a water meridian respectively.

The golden sword energy just now, besides being the golden light reflected by the divine sword itself, was also related to the golden veins of the Longevity Technique that it activated.

Therefore, even when facing the young man Zijun in front of her, Xiaomeng had no confidence whatsoever.

After all, Xiaomeng had clearly seen the battle just now. The young man from the Zhang family had already reached the pinnacle of internal strength, and with the divine sword, his power was extremely domineering.

"Senior, that's a big reward."

At this moment, the young man slowly handed over a two-and-a-half-foot-long short sword and whispered an explanation:

"Senior, be careful. This short sword is called Kunwu. It is a replica of the legendary jade-cutting sword made by my father. It can cut jade like mud and is extremely sharp."

A ten-thousand-year-old jade bead is inlaid on the sword hilt; when activated, it releases profound yin-chilling energy, chilling everything within a three-zhang radius to the bone!

Gulu!

Is it the Kunwu Sword or the Kunwu Sword?

At this point, nothing else mattered; what mattered was that this divine weapon far surpassed their understanding of the Kunwu Sword.

Not only can it cut jade as easily as mud, but it is also inlaid with a ten-thousand-year-old cold jade bead. One can imagine that this divine sword is not just the sum of its parts.

"Kunwu Sword? What a fine sword!"

"This sword of mine is named Qiu Li, a famous Taoist sword that embodies the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and the way of life for all things."

The two sides displayed their famous swords, which drew admiration from everyone present.

Both are peerless divine weapons, but compared to the others, the silver-white, snow-cold short sword Kunwu is undoubtedly more sought after.

After all, the sword itself is an unparalleled divine weapon, and with the addition of the ten-thousand-year-old cold jade bead, it is conceivable that this is an incomparable divine sword.

"Senior, please enlighten me!"

As the younger generation, Ziju naturally took the initiative first.

With a single move, "Pear Blossoms in March," a flash of cold light, like a startled bolt of lightning, enveloped Xiaomeng.

The sword energy was like frost, and the sword light was like pear blossoms in full bloom, dazzling to behold, yet endlessly captivating.

Excellent swordsmanship!

Xiaomeng's eyes lit up; from the moment Ziju made her move, she knew how exquisite the technique was.

However, she had already mastered swordsmanship by the age of eight. In ten years, she not only mastered the Heavenly Sect Heart Sutra and entered the peerless realm, but her swordsmanship also reached the realm of man and sword as one, ranking among the top swordsmen!

Compared to the previous saintess and enchantress, her aptitude is far superior.

After all, Shi Feixuan and Wanwan, both eighteen years old, had only just broken through to the peerless realm.

Silver sea flowers!

It was another move with dazzling swordplay, and Qiu Li's sword shadows, reflected by the refraction of light, instantly appeared like illusions, with countless sword shadows coming straight at her.

Thousands of pear trees bloom, and the sword light is also incredibly fast, a rainbow-like streak, chilling to the bone.

But for Xiaomeng and Zijun, only one of these blades is real.

Ding! Ding! Ding...

Then came the soft clanging of swords clashing, the countless sword shadows seemingly solid, like thousands of wind chimes ringing.

The sword energy of the Falling Flower Sword Technique is continuous and unbroken, with its soft and yin sword force interlocking. Therefore, even though Ziju's swordsmanship has not been cultivated to the point of being divine, it is still incomparably sharp and continuous!

Only true masters can understand just how fast their swords were.

The frost exudes a powerful aura, and the clouds shimmer with purple light; in reality, every sword strike is sharp and menacing, chilling to the bone.

"Senior, be careful!"

Another reminder made Xiaomeng's initial probing become serious.

She knew that the young man from the Zhang family was not someone to be trifled with, and once he got serious, he would definitely unleash his ultimate move.

Moreover, the Falling Flower Sword Technique was already quite extraordinary, and she wasn't confident she could break through it in a short time, let alone the sudden burst of her ultimate move.

Flying Snow Sword Technique!

Suddenly, snow began to fall all over the hall, and the temperature around it plummeted to below zero, making everyone shiver.

Such a strange change in the weather immediately drew everyone's attention to the two people in the arena. Moreover, only the legendary 'Frosty Jade Bead' could reach such a level.

Snowflakes flew everywhere, sword energy gleamed like frost!

Even when Xiaomeng unleashed the power of "World Loses Color," she could not stop the swirling snowflakes.

hum!

Suddenly, the entire hall trembled violently, and the snow falling from the sky and the world lost their color, all vanishing at the same time.

The powerful energy surged, causing the space to tremble, and all those with insufficient skill were blasted away.

Even if Fusu had not been protected by Zhang Han, it would have been no exception.

As for the students, Fu Nian and the others couldn't protect them, and at least half of them were blasted away.
