He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"Go for it, you swordsman, give it your all and crush him in one move..."

"Damn it, so what if they're from the Gu family? A little trash like you dares to be so arrogant and challenge our brave, handsome, and dashing boss..."

"He deserved to die..."

Zanglong and Miaotiao Jun waved their fists, shouting themselves hoarse.

However, upon hearing this, the soldiers around him all showed strange expressions, and their gazes all fell on Lu Chen.

He's handsome, and has an otherworldly air about him, but... is he brave and heroic?

He looks more like a refined young nobleman who has never experienced bloodshed, a pretty boy.

"Do you think this guy is really their boss? He looks so frail..."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Didn't you see where those pretty women are standing? They're obviously some young master from a wealthy family out for training..."

"Even if they're not very strong, they're not someone we can afford to mess with. They might be hiding a master in the shadows, or perhaps they're equipped with some kind of divine weapon..."

The soldiers whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with apprehension.

To be able to know Furukawa, one's background must be at least on par with the Furukawa family, something that ordinary soldiers like them could not casually discuss.

In the arena, amidst the illusory phenomena of "mirage and illusion," the longsword in Hua Zhanyue's hand rang out clearly.

One after another, brilliant sword energies, condensed with moonlight and lotus shadows, took shape, carrying a sharp momentum that could cleave through the void, and headed towards Gu Chuan!

"It seems the battle is about to end..."

"Furukawa, you've been too careless..."

Everyone held their breath, thinking that the outcome would be revealed at this moment.

however--

"roar--!!!"

With a roar of the demon god, Gu Chuan's body instantly boiled with blood light, and the moon's reflection on the originally cold lake surface began to ripple violently!

"Ea - Skybreaker!"

The blood-red sword hovered in the air, and with Furukawa's will, it suddenly trembled!

"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish..."

In an instant, the sword of estrangement drew strange trajectories, tearing eight pitch-black cracks in the void in front of Furukawa!

A suction force emanated from the crack, swallowing up all of Hua Zhanyue's fierce and unparalleled sword energy!

"What?!"

Hua Zhanyue's expression changed slightly.

Even more terrifying things were yet to come! Furukawa grinned maliciously, and with another thought, he swung the Ea sword fiercely towards Hanazono!

A smaller void rift suddenly appeared beside Hua Zhanyue, and then...

Several sword energies that had just been swallowed shot out from within, attacking Hua Zhanyue instead!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Hua Zhanyue swiftly dodged, his body protected by a cold sword light, narrowly avoiding the backlash of sword energy.

The sword energy missed its target and struck the dueling platform.

Instantly, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the already cracked platform was blasted open with several deep pits, sending debris flying everywhere.

"Snap—!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Furukawa's muscles bulged, and his blood-red aura soared to the sky, finally managing to break free from his restraints!

The ethereal reflection on the cold lake surface shattered into fragments.

A menacing, blood-red aura once again filled the air, turning half the sky crimson and sending chills down one's spine.

"Hua Zhan Yue, it's my turn..."

"A blood moon hangs in the sky, a demon god descends!"

Furukawa held the sword with both hands and roared to the sky!

Thick, sticky blood gushed from his body!

The blood plasma converged wildly, coalescing in the air into an eerie, blood-red moon!

At the same time, more blood spread, almost covering the entire broken arena, forming a terrifying blood domain!

The sword in his hand, the Ea, transformed into a pool of scarlet liquid, which quickly covered Furukawa's arms, forming two hideous, blood-red longswords made of bone!

Furukawa's physique also expanded during this process, his muscles became bulging, and it seemed as if blood was flowing beneath his skin.

With that bloodthirsty and crazed look in his eyes, he looks more and more like a twin-sword demon god crawling out of hell!

"Terrible...so terrifying..."

"This guy actually knows a domain technique... Even though it's only half-finished, it's still powerful enough..."

"That bastard Furukawa, is he even human...?"

The soldiers below the stage retreated in fear.

This was completely beyond their understanding of "sword cultivators".

"Damn, this transformation is evil enough..."

Even the usually carefree Miao Tiaojun was dumbfounded.

"Hua Zhan Yue, what are you good for?!"

Just then, Hua Xiyu transmitted his voice, cold and authoritative.

"Your husband told you to kill him right now, didn't you hear me? You have one minute left. If you don't kill him by then, you'd better think about the consequences..."

In her view, Hua Zhanyue, who was enjoying a five-fold increase in combat power from Lu Chen,

If you still can't defeat an opponent of the same level

That would be a complete disgrace to the Hua family; they might as well give up on the path of becoming professionals.

"This junior understands!!"

Hua Zhanyue's body jolted violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

His grandmother personally urged him to hurry, so how could he dare to hold back in the slightest?

"Blue lotus blossoms, bright moon hangs in the sky!"

Hua Zhanyue's eyes sharpened, and he let out a low shout, fully activating his sword intent and communicating with the vast sword intent remaining on the giant sword!

In an instant, his sword energy soared into the sky!

A phantom of a bright moon, formed purely from cold and sharp sword energy, slowly rose above his head.

The moonlight, like a sword, cast its clear glow, standing in stark contrast to the eerie blood moon over the Furukawa River, each vying for supremacy!

At the same time, blue lotus flowers formed from pure sword intent bloomed around him and slowly rotated.

Each blue lotus exudes an incomparably sharp sword aura, and as the lotus leaves sway gently, they seem capable of tearing through the void.

"Haha, come on!! Let me see just how strong you really are!!"

Furukawa laughed wildly, his fighting spirit completely replaced by madness.

He waited no longer; his demonic body roared into action, transforming into a crimson meteor.

The flesh-and-blood swords in his hands tore through the air, carrying an aura of annihilation, and charged towards Hua Zhan Yue!

Hua Zhan Yue's face was ashen, and the longsword in his hand emitted a high-pitched dragon's roar.

His figure also transformed into a dazzling sword light, meeting the attack head-on!

"Zheng—!!!"

The Azure Lotus and the Demon God collided with a deafening roar!

The clang of metal rang out!

Immediately afterwards, countless sounds of sword energy colliding rang out.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss—!!!"

The two figures collided violently in an instant!

Sword light and blood-red gleam flashed wildly!

Every instant, hundreds or even thousands of sword energies clashed fiercely within a small space!

The dilapidated arena could no longer withstand the terrifying aftershocks, breaking apart inch by inch and turning into utter dust!

"Holy crap! What the hell is this Hua Zhan Yue? He can actually communicate with the Sword Saint's sword energy..."

"Look, the competition is about to end!"

The audience held their breath, not daring to blink.

The exchange lasted only three seconds.

Furukawa's demonic body, without the support of any "cheat codes," began to show signs of decline.

"Click...click click..."

First, fine cracks appeared on the flesh-and-blood sword covering his arms, and then the cracks spread to his entire body.

The blood moon hanging overhead also shook violently, its light dimming.

"Bang--!!!"

Finally, with a muffled thud, the blood moon shattered!

Furukawa's entire demonic body was like a piece of porcelain struck by a giant hammer, covered in cracks.

Then, under the impact of a blue lotus sword aura, it was sent flying backward like a broken sack!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Furukawa's figure flew directly across the square, smashing through several barracks along the way.

It flew for several kilometers before coming to a stop amidst smoke and ruins, its fate unknown.

The sword Ea in his hand also let out a mournful cry, and a crack appeared on its blade.

The entire room fell silent.

"Damn it, who?! Who killed Furukawa?!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted!
