The battle was fierce, very fierce!
Luo Zhan's saber techniques, empowered by Saber Intent, were incredibly sharp. However, Qin Chu's Startling God Sword Art, with the enhancement and aid of Sword Intent, was also formidable, not falling behind in the slightest.
The battle was evenly matched, but Qin Chu discovered his weakness: his speed was insufficient. Not the speed of his swordplay, but his body's movement speed. This was mainly because he hadn't Cultivated any movement secret techniques, while Luo Zhan's movements during flashes were very methodical.
Having found his shortcoming, Qin Chu didn't plan to drag out the fight. If he did, his Origin Qi was not as good as Luo Zhan's, which would put him at a disadvantage.
With his decision made, Qin Chu, empowered by the Sword Spirit Realm, found a flaw in Luo Zhan's saber techniques. His swordplay shifted, and he unleashed the ultimate move from the Startling God Sword Art, the Startling God Transformation.
Executing the Startling God Transformation, Qin Chu's body brushed past Luo Zhan's battle saber, closing in on him. The Azure Spirit Sword, with its Sword Qi, struck right in front of Luo Zhan.
Luo Zhan wanted to dodge, but his saber technique was already fully committed. It was too late to change his move or dodge.
With the sound of weapon meeting flesh, Qin Chu's Azure Spirit Sword pierced through Luo Zhan's chest.
Severely wounded, Luo Zhan swung the battle saber in his hand towards Qin Chu's neck. But before the battle saber reached Qin Chu's neck, his arm lost all strength, as his life force was ebbing away too quickly.
Qin Chu grabbed Luo Zhan's right wrist with his left hand and twisted it forcefully. With a 'crack' sound, Luo Zhan's wrist was broken by Qin Chu, and the battle saber fell to the ground.
"This is Qingyun Sect. Don't be too presumptuous. The price of being too presumptuous is life!" After speaking, Qin Chu sheathed his Azure Spirit Sword, then collected the storage bracelet from the lifeless Luo Zhan and the fallen battle saber.
The entire venue fell silent. Luo Zhan was one of the Genius Disciples of the Blood Saber Sect, renowned in this region, yet he was killed by an unknown handyman from the Qingyun Sect.
After taking a few steps back, Qin Chu looked at Su Xueyi, "I just want to ask you one thing: where does your sense of superiority come from? What right do you have to flaunt your power here at Qingyun Sect? I, Qin Chu, stand right here. If you want to fight, I'm ready anytime!"
Boundless Domineering, even with the Blood Saber Sect and Wolf King Hall forces eyeing him menacingly, Qin Chu showed no fear.
"Arrogant!" Hearing Qin Chu's words, a man stepped out from the Wolf King Hall's ranks. The man's robe was embroidered with a wolf totem, and his Phoenix eyes gleamed with ferocity.
"There's really someone who doesn't know what's good for him. State your name!" Qin Chu looked at the man from Wolf King Hall who had stepped out.
"Wolf Jade of Wolf King Hall!" The man with fierce eyes said, looking at Qin Chu.
"Luo Zhan was one of the Geniuses of the Blood Saber Sect, and you seem to be a Genius of the Wolf King Hall. I, Qin Chu, am not some Genius, but I seem to have one ability: specifically to slay Geniuses!" After speaking, Qin Chu unsheathed his Azure Cloud Sword and charged towards Wolf Jade.
It wasn't that Qin Chu was belligerent; he understood the situation clearly. Unless he conceded, the other party wouldn't let him go. Since that was the case, he could only play rough.
Seeing Qin Chu make a move, Wolf Jade also acted. He didn't use a battle saber or a longsword, but a pair of glowing claw gauntlets. The back of the gauntlets had spikes, and the tips were sharp blades.
Qin Chu's swordplay was fast, but Wolf Jade's claw attacks were also extremely quick, directly blocking Qin Chu's longsword's attack path.
"I'll crush your head!" Qin Chu's proactive attack greatly displeased Wolf Jade. In the past, he was always the one to fight and kill others; almost no one ever dared to make the first move against him.
Qin Chu said nothing, unleashing the Startling God Sword Art, attacking Wolf Jade from all sides.
Wolf Jade swung his arms, his pair of glowing sharp claws grabbing at Qin Chu's body.
No one doubted the power of Wolf Jade's claws; if struck, the body would surely be pierced, and bones would be broken.
Qin Chu's swordplay was extremely fast, a combination of the Startling God Sword Art and basic sword techniques. Sword after sword, the sword momentum was naturally formed. Although they were simple sword moves, there were no flaws whatsoever.
"Liu Xue, do you see? This is the power of basic sword techniques Cultivated to Great Perfection. Basic sword techniques emphasize the Foundation." Lei Yin said to Liu Xue beside him.
After battling for a while, Qin Chu increasingly found his speed insufficient, which made him very uncomfortable. Every flash and dodge by Wolf Jade made his otherwise threatening swordplay unable to harm his opponent.
Not only Qin Chu knew this situation, but the high-ranking officials of Qingyun Sect also discovered it. This situation indicated that Qin Chu's past accumulation was insufficient. While his swordplay had reached a certain level, there was a significant gap in Origin Qi and movement techniques compared to his opponent. However, it was also impossible for Wolf Jade to defeat Qin Chu, because although Qin Chu's swordplay couldn't harm Wolf Jade, it worked perfectly for defense.
With his mind focused, Qin Chu unleashed the Sword Spirit Realm. Seizing the flaw after Wolf Jade's attack missed, the Startling God Transformation from the Startling God Sword Art was launched again. This time, he didn't strike Wolf Jade's chest, but severed Wolf Jade's right arm at the root!
Having severed Wolf Jade's right arm, Qin Chu stomped his foot, his body rapidly closing in on the retreating Wolf Jade, and the Azure Spirit Sword struck out again.
At this moment, an elder leading the Wolf King Hall made his move, punching towards Qin Chu.
"Shameless!" Luo Zhen shouted in a low voice and made his move. His longsword was unsheathed, and a Sword Qi flew out, dispersing the Wolf King Hall elder's fist aura.
In this gap, Qin Chu closed in on Wolf Jade. The Azure Spirit Sword swung, severing Wolf Jade's left arm, then a flying kick sent Wolf Jade to the ground. The longsword was pressed against Wolf Jade's throat, "When you said you would crush my head, I made a decision: to chop off your claws, and then kill you!"
After speaking, Qin Chu's right arm vibrated, and the Azure Spirit Sword pierced through Wolf Jade's throat, completing the kill.
Qin Chu collected the spoils of war, and the crowd below was silent, because Qin Chu was too brutal, directly killing two Genius Disciples from the Blood Saber Sect and Wolf King Hall.
"Qingyun Sect, hand him over, and our Wolf King Hall will withdraw. Otherwise, our Wolf King Hall and Qingyun Sect will fight to the death!" The elder leading the Wolf King Hall spoke. Wolf Jade was a descendant of the Wolf King Hall Master, and his death in Qingyun Sect had escalated the matter significantly.
"Hand him over, or else our Blood Saber Sect will officially declare war on Qingyun Sect." Su Xueyi also spoke. Regardless of the larger situation to come, she wanted to first eliminate Qingyun Sect's Genius Disciple.
Luo Zhen smiled. Having already taken an adversarial stance, the other party actually wanted Qingyun Sect to hand Qin Chu over. This was too ridiculous. Wouldn't that be equivalent to destroying their own Foundation?
At this moment, Su Shanhe stepped forward, "Peak Master Luo, in my opinion, it's better to resolve this peacefully. A battle would benefit no one."
"What did you say?" Luo Zhen glared at Su Shanhe. He hadn't expected Su Shanhe to say such words at this time.
"Old geezer, do you mean to hand over me, a Disciple who just fought for Qingyun Sect and saved its face?" Qin Chu was also enraged. A person could be shameless, but not to Su Shanhe's extent.
