Chapter 71 Crazy Hu is defeated
Crazy Hu appeared again, his eyes fixed on Shangguan Jiannan like a snake or scorpion, and a barely perceptible joy inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Xuanfengsaoye!" He murmured, and the shock in his heart was quickly replaced by solemnity. The fine steel sword in his hand hummed, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm.
As he roared in a low voice, a heart-pounding feeling of oppression filled the air. Shangguan Jiannan and Hu Fengzi's "Lying Corpse Sword Technique" and "Whirlwind Kick" were intertwined into an impenetrable net.
All around Crazy Hu, there were flashes of swords and shadows, making it difficult to tell the real from the fake. Every collision was accompanied by a deafening roar, leaving the watching warriors dumbfounded and horrified.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and Shangguan Jiannan's figure flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, while Hu Fengzi followed closely, his whirlwind kick leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, chasing him relentlessly.
Shangguan Jiannan had nowhere to put his strength in mid-air, and his chest was aching slightly from the previous severe injury. Facing Hu Fengzi's relentless pursuit, he couldn't help but feel panicked.
However, at this critical moment of life and death, Shangguan Jiannan demonstrated amazing adaptability.
He used the momentum of his sword to lightly tap the ground, using the force to counter the opponent, and instantly stabilized his body. Then he suddenly rose up, and an unprecedented sword intent soared into the sky, causing an uproar all around.
"Is this still Xuanfeng Sweeping Leaves?"
"Why is this sword technique so strange and unpredictable?"
"Its power is far beyond what we know, as if it has transcended several realms."
The discussions all around came like a tide, but Shangguan Jiannan turned a deaf ear to them. He was fully focused on the battle in front of him, and his figure shuttled between the flashes of swords and shadows like a ghost. Every time he swung his sword, it was accompanied by a sharp sword energy, tearing through the air and heading straight for Crazy Hu.
Crazy Hu was not willing to be outdone. He roared and displayed the essence of the "Lying Corpse Sword Technique". As he swung his long sword, the sword light was like a weave, dense and impenetrable, and it collided violently with Shangguan Jiannan's sword light, sparks flew, and the scene was thrilling.
In this thrilling duel, both men displayed extraordinary strength and wisdom, and every confrontation was eye-catching and heart-stirring.
The final outcome of this battle will become a legend that will be passed down in the martial arts world for a long time.
"A sword breaks through the air, a fairy from outer space comes, split!"
In an instant, the sword light weaved through the impenetrable sword net. No matter how sharp the blade was or how fierce the attack was, the sword light was able to move with ease without any damage.
Shangguan Jiannan stretched out his body lightly, tapped the void with his fingertips, and the sword light burst out suddenly, like a meteor streaking across the sky, piercing straight into the core of the sword shadows in the sky, instantly detonating a shocking feast of light.
"Boom!"
The sky and the earth changed color, and a deafening roar resounded in all directions like thunder. The air seemed to be torn apart by this force, and there was chaos within a few feet.
The explosions continued one after another, indicating the intensity and cruelty of the confrontation.
Shangguan Jiannan retreated away, his eyes fixed on the center of the explosion, with a light of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
"The fourth move of the Tianxuan sword technique, 'Flying Fairy from the Sky', actually has such a devastating power!" He marveled inwardly. Although he knew that the sword technique he displayed was powerful, he had never expected it to be so powerful.
The aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided, and the dust settled. A disheveled figure staggered out from the ruins. His purple robe had turned to charcoal, and his face was as pale as paper. He finally fell to the ground powerlessly, causing an uproar.
"Crazy Hu, lost?"
"How can this be?"
"The Mysterious Heavenly Sword Technique is so terrifying!"
The disciples watching were talking about it, all of them were shocked by this sudden result.
The nine-ring long sword lay alone on the side. Crazy Hu was covered with scars and looked miserable. The noise around him made his face even redder, but he could only accept the reality helplessly.
In this martial arts world where strength is respected, all glory and status are based on strength.
Shangguan Jiannan's victory was undoubtedly a strong proof of his strength, and it also made everyone present re-examine this seemingly insignificant opponent.
"This kid is really a hidden talent."
Everyone pondered in their hearts, and a sense of respect arose for Shangguan Jiannan.
His performance not only made Crazy Hu lose face, but also allowed everyone to witness the terrifying power of the Tianxuan sword technique and his own strength that should not be underestimated.
Indeed, the mystery of that sword technique and its power are immeasurable and breathtaking.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but have a premonition in their hearts - another strong opponent will rise in the martial arts world! The disciples looked at each other, and their eyes looking at Shangguan Jiannan were filled with amazement and mixed emotions.
In this sect full of powerful people, many senior warriors showed up one after another. They gathered here either out of curiosity or to witness the birth of a new star.
Shangguan Jiannan's performance today undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention.
The disciples either marveled at his extraordinary talent or discussed his future path. Everyone expressed their own opinions, and the atmosphere was very lively.
However, amidst the noise, there are also sober voices: "Although one has great talent, without unremitting efforts, he will eventually be eliminated from the ranks of the strong."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated with many disciples.
There are many people with outstanding talents within the sect, but those who can truly stand out and become top masters are often those who have both talent and are willing to put in sweat and effort.
Shangguan Jiannan seemed oblivious to the discussions around him. His gaze was always on Crazy Hu, his eyes flashing with joy and excitement that was difficult to conceal.
At this moment, he finally achieved his goal - to be among the top 20 elite disciples.
The ecstasy in his heart surged like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to control himself.
But Crazy Hu looked much more lonely.
He stood up and faced the various gazes from all around him, his face turning red and white.
He couldn't accept the fact that he had lost to Shangguan Jiannan, but he also understood that it was all his own fault.
If you are not strong enough, you can’t blame others.
When he whispered the three words "You win", his tone was full of helplessness and unwillingness.
In response to Hu Fengzi's surrender and congratulations, Shangguan Jiannan simply nodded faintly.
His mood was equally complicated - both the joy of victory and worries about the future.
He knew that this was just the beginning. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the sect and move forward, he would have to put in more effort and sweat.
As Crazy Hu and his servants left, this hall officially became Shangguan Jiannan's new territory.
However, he didn't care too much about all this.
He understands that the real challenge has just begun and he is ready to meet every challenge in the future.
When the disciples around him gradually dispersed, leaving behind a quiet space, Shangguan Jiannan walked in slowly, with an imperceptible hint of eagerness and anticipation in his steps.
Although his expression did not fully reveal it, the faint expectation was like a breeze blowing across the lake, gently rippling, making people involuntarily feel the waves in his heart.
