Lu Tianxing immediately sensed the danger he was about to face, abandoning the intention for another attack. Instead, he activated the Creation Source Technique, causing True Qi to surge above his head, transforming into a Creation God Tripod. The spiritual energy flowed down, enveloping him. At the same time, he slowly retracted the spear formed by the condensed True Qi in his hand, hiding it behind him, appearing as if he intended to defend.

Just as Lu Tianxing withdrew his stance, a cold light suddenly appeared from nowhere, piercing through the air. The spiritual energy emanating from the Creation God Tripod was instantly torn apart by the cold light, effortlessly penetrating through it. This cold light directly thrust towards Lu Tianxing’s chest.

"Hmph, initiate spear stance."

Lu Tianxing’s expression didn’t change at all; he retreated a step backward. The spear hidden behind him suddenly shot out, like a venomous snake attacking its prey, striking towards the source of the cold light at a speed even faster than the cold light itself.

"Clang!"

At the moment Lu Tianxing made his move, the cold light turned abruptly, blocking the spear, then disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Meanwhile, the fluttering snow in the sky slowly fell, and the world returned to calm.

Lu Tianxing stood there motionless, seemingly unscathed, but his arm was trembling uncontrollably, indicating that he hadn’t gained the upper hand in the exchange just now.

Ashida Ikeda’s figure reappeared not far away. Seeing Lu Tianxing’s slightly trembling arm, a cold smile appeared on his face: "Third Young Master of the Lu Family, I must admit you are truly terrifying. Your middle-stage mythical realm, the quality of your True Qi is almost on par with the late Stage of Mythical. Globally, very few can compare to you. But unfortunately, you are not a late-stage mythical Martial Artist. Today, you are destined to die by my hand."

"Die by your hand."

Lu Tianxing’s gaze remained indifferent, his voice cold: "Ashida Ikeda, if you were in your prime, facing you, I might have turned and left without hesitation. But you have forgotten that you are now just a remnant. Indeed, you can unleash such earth-shattering techniques, but how many moves can you execute?"

"Hahaha..."

Ashida Ikeda laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Third Young Master of the Lu Family, you’re right, my remnant body can’t hold on for long. But don’t forget, I practice blade techniques. If Cangwu can cultivate spear stances, don’t you think I can cultivate blade intent? How does it feel to have the blade Qi enter your body?"

"To be honest, Godslayer One Strike is a supreme technique, not a single slash but a continuous one. Once executed, each slash contains my blade intent. Once the blade Qi enters your body, my blade intent will attach to your True Qi, penetrating your internal organs. Unless I personally save you, you can only await death. Within half a day, my blade Qi will kill you. If you kneel down today and become my slave, perhaps I may spare you once in my great mercy."

Dechuan Qianxiang, hiding in the distance, was fully focused on everything happening. Upon hearing Ashida Ikeda’s words, a hint of panic appeared on her face.

However, seeing Lu Tianxing’s unchanged expression, the anxiety quickly vanished. Lu Tianxing was not reckless; if he showed no panic, it meant the blade Qi posed no threat to him, otherwise he couldn’t be this calm.

Although Dechuan Qianxiang hadn’t interacted with Lu Tianxing for long, she knew one thing: Lu Tianxing never put himself in danger.

"Indeed a very fierce blade intent, but do you think mere blade intent can harm me?"

Lu Tianxing’s face remained emotionless; instead, he stood with his spear, solemn and unflustered, looking at Ashida Ikeda: "Ashida Ikeda, since I dared to find trouble with you, do you think I’m unprepared? Stop resisting in vain. There’s only one outcome for you today, and that’s death."

"Kill me? Let’s see whose hands seal the fate."

Ashida Ikeda shouted fiercely, showing no hesitation as he attacked again. The katana in his hand formed from white snow suddenly radiated with dazzling light. The light transformed into piercing white blade Qi, swirling around within a ten-meter radius, creating a world of blade Qi.

"Third Young Master of the Lu Family, I must admit your strength indeed exceeded my expectations, but unfortunately, you’ll never understand what a truly late-stage mythical is. Today, I’ll show you what it means to be an invincible strongman."

"Draw the sword, break water, Annihilation Strike."

Swoosh!

Hundreds of blade Qi swept across like a great dragon composed of countless blade Qi, surging relentlessly towards Lu Tianxing.

Wherever it passed, everything crumbled and turned to nothingness. It’s conceivable that if Lu Tianxing were caught by this blade Qi, he’d be chopped into skeletal remnants instantly.

Lu Tianxing’s face showed no fear. Instead of retreating, he advanced, taking a step forward, soaring into the sky, avoiding the overwhelming Sword Qi. Then, his body suddenly descended like a hungry tiger pouncing. The spear in his hand turned into a shadow and directly thrust forward.

In an instant, Ashida Ikeda only felt an intense aura of death enveloping him. The spear stance was overwhelming, seemingly about to suppress him. The searing energy within him turned even more fervent, like a volcano about to erupt.

Lu Tianxing was intending to use the Fenghuo Spear Technique to stimulate the True Qi of the Fenghuo Spear Technique left in Ashida Ikeda by Cangwu, to completely destroy Ashida Ikeda from within.

"Damn it."

Ashida Ikeda’s face looked extremely grim. He roared, the katana in his hand once again activated: "Abyss Hell."

The ghostly blade Qi layered upon layers surged, echoing with ghostly weeps and wolf howls that instantly filled one’s ears with an inescapable fear, as if the mind was on the verge of collapse.

Layer upon layer, the blade Qi continued aggregating, transforming into a mountain of blades, descending from above towards Lu Tianxing. The mountain was filled with fierce blade Qi, weaving through it lifelike, carrying endless screeching.

"Fenghuo Spear Technique, move like thunder’s roar."

Lu Tianxing showed no fear, his spear quivered, turning into a streak of lightning. In an instant, thousands of spear shadows were unleashed. Each shadow cut through the sky like rolling thunder, rushing directly towards that mountain of blades.
