Chapter 1739: Chapter 1740: Experts from the Eastern Spirit Domain! (Second Update)

"So powerful!"

"Too strong!"

"As expected, Brother Xiao was right, the Sword Dao is certainly not inferior to the Body Refinement Path."

"Why do I feel like they are learning from each other, Brother Xiao’s sword style seems a bit like Luo Hanzhou’s punching technique!"

"Yes, Luo Hanzhou’s footwork also resembles Brother Xiao’s!"

"Many ways and methods lead to the same goal, but sadly, those who haven’t reached their level can’t comprehend them."

The crowd on the field sighed in admiration, only someone like Xiao Juanyun and Luo Hanzhou, who are evenly matched, could learn from their opponent’s strengths.

They didn’t realize that there was another person on the field who had already learned all of the strengths of these two without leaving a trace.

No, to be precise, it wasn’t considered stealing, after all, he learned it openly!

"However, from watching their battle, I have some insights. Once I return to the sect and go into seclusion for a while, I feel my swordsmanship will improve again!"

"Hmm, me too!"

Many experts from the West Sword Domain, although unable to directly improve like Xiao Juanyun, have gained a lot from observing.

"I just wonder who will win?"

"I hope it’s Brother Xiao. If even Brother Xiao loses, it would be disgraceful for all of us swordmen from the West Sword Domain."

The crowd quietly debated and sighed in admiration. At that moment, Luo Hanzhou threw a punch and quickly distanced himself from Xiao Juanyun. His expression seemed to become excited.

It was a joy of encountering a worthy opponent, which made his blood boil. He felt every nerve in his body becoming extremely sensitive.

Speed, strength, reaction—all rose to their peak.

Xiao Juanyun was the same, with his long sword in hand, stepping forward quickly, his form creating phantom images, a sword swift like a thunderbolt, seemingly smashing stars, sliced towards Luo Hanzhou with unparalleled dominance.

"Star Lock Moon Slash!"

Even without activating the Sword Essence, the power of this move was still noteworthy.

The whistling wind suddenly rose, Vigorous Wind forming a terrible Sword Pressure under the sword, blowing Luo Hanzhou’s long hair back as if it would be uprooted, revealing his whole face, eyes shooting out an incredibly sharp brilliance.

"Good coming!"

Luo Hanzhou laughed loudly, clenched his right fist, directly attacking the Sword Edge of Xiao Juanyun.

In an instant, countless fist shadows erupted, as if shattering heaven and earth, brilliantly dazzling, instantly crushing Xiao Juanyun’s powerful Sword Pressure.

A fist, a sword, collided in a violent blast.

The crowd felt the entire pavilion shake violently, knowing that this was still just the display of moves without using Elemental Power, yet had such destructive power.

If they unleashed their full power, the range of thousands of feet around would become a ruin.

"A length means strength. Brother Luo, you have lost!"

Xiao Juanyun’s sword pointed diagonally at Luo Hanzhou’s neck, both standing in the center of the ground, their figures somewhat in disarray.

Seeing this scene, swordmen from the West Sword Domain were overwhelmingly pleased.

Ultimately, Xiao Juanyun won.

However, a subtle smile appeared on Luo Hanzhou’s lips, "Oh, is that so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Juanyun’s long sword in his hand snapped with a crunch, breaking into several fragments scattered on the ground.

The next moment, Luo Hanzhou slightly raised his hand, gently opened his palm, revealing a piece of shattered cloth lying quietly in his palm.

Xiao Juanyun looked down and saw a piece of his robe ripped off at the left side of his chest where the heart was.

Instantly, Xiao Juanyun’s spine felt cold. If this battle was one of life and death, what had been torn off might have been his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Juanyun looked deeply at Luo Hanzhou and gritted his teeth, saying, "This battle, I have lost!"

Xiao Juanyun slowly turned around, returned to his seat, filled with shock and disappointment.

If he had won, the previous remarks would indeed have been powerful, but now, he had lost.

Victory and defeat, pre-battle bold words now seemed ironic.

At this moment, swordmen from the West Sword Domain were all crestfallen.

Lost, even Xiao Juanyun had lost!

"It seems my Beihai Domain is ultimately superior. Brother Luo, you won beautifully!"

Several martial artists from the Beihai Domain were full of pride, despite being few, they almost crushed all from the West Sword Domain, truly showing strength and talent!

But Luo Hanzhou didn’t speak, instead showing a bit of disappointment.

Xiao Juanyun was strong, but not yet pushing him to his limit.

"Is that all? Seems I can leave now, thinking I could meet a few true Outer Domain experts."

Luo Hanzhou shook his head slightly, having already defeated the strongest Xiao Juanyun, there was no need to stay.

"Let’s go, let’s go, the West Sword Domain, just so-so!"

"Haha, Body Refinement is the real path! Sword Dao is only a minor way."

The few Beihai Domain martial artists chuckled disdainfully, their contempt in their eyes unapologetic.

West Sword Domain swordmen’s faces burned with embarrassment, yet dared not step forward to challenge Luo Hanzhou.

The strength Luo Hanzhou displayed was truly formidable.

Perhaps if they both used Elemental Power, at full force, Xiao Juanyun might not lose to Luo Hanzhou, but before the competition, it was Xiao Juanyun who stipulated that only moves are used, not Elemental Power.

Lost is lost, with no excuse.

Xiao Juanyun took a deep breath, originally having some intention to establish authority, unexpectedly having a fierce comrade like Luo Hanzhou appear mid-way.

"Wait a minute, you said you wanted to find Outer Domain experts?"

Just then, suddenly, a voice came from a corner. Everyone turned to look and found a white-clad youth standing tall.

This person was none other than Ling Feng from the Eastern Spirit Domain!

Xiao Juanyun’s eyelid flickered slightly; originally, he organized this tea meeting mainly to probe Ling Feng’s strength. Because of Luo Hanzhou’s strong appearance, he had pushed Ling Feng to the back of his mind.

It’s just, in his heart, he never thought Ling Feng was qualified to compare with him. Let alone defeat his own, Luo Hanzhou.

Ling Feng’s challenge to Luo Hanzhou was simply an act of overestimating himself.

However, Ling Feng seemed unaware, instead stepping up before Luo Hanzhou, calmly saying, "You’ve already faced the West Sword Domain martial artists; there’s still a master from the Eastern Spirit Domain here."

"What a shameless boast! To claim to be an expert with such a big face!"

"Does he even weigh how much he is? Eastern Spirit Domain? What kind of experts can they have!"

"Unaware of heaven’s greatness, how dare he have the audacity to compete with Luo Hanzhou? His mere entry here was granted by Brother Xiao!"

The Western Sword Domain swordmen on site felt indignant and began cursing.

Even their talented Xiao Juanyun was defeated; this Eastern Spirit Domain brat was simply pretending to be a hunter with a dead rat in his pocket!

Ignoring their mockery, Ling Feng looked calmly at Luo Hanzhou, saying lightly, "How about it, are you willing to face me in battle?"

Luo Hanzhou stared at Ling Feng, suddenly his eyelid twitched, sensing a strand of chilling aura emitting from Ling Feng, and in that moment of heightened vigilance, the eerie feeling vanished as if it were an illusion.

Luo Hanzhou’s expression became a bit solemn, gazing at Ling Feng, he spoke lightly, "Why would I not dare?"

"Then please, let’s proceed."

Ling Feng smiled lightly, slowly drawing his Ten Directions Annihilation.
