Chapter 351

The brilliant golden light illuminated the square, causing the surrounding crowd to close their eyes one after another.

Only Lan Lan Mingqian looked directly into the deepest part of the light without being affected.

He saw a touch of azure sword light within it.

Thus, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a gratified look.

Using a style of Dao Force first just to close the distance, and then connecting another style of Dao Force.

Such a fighting style is simply extravagant!

But the effect is indeed unexpected.

Fortunately, Lan Ruoyun's response can also be called perfect.

An azure sword light broke through the infinite brightness and rushed straight into the sky!

Following it was the high-pitched crane cry.

This sound reached its climax in an instant; the sharp sonic boom pierced straight into people's hearts, as if a white crane spread its wings and flew, piercing the clouds and breaking the sun!

Dao Force—【Nine Heavens Crane Cry】!

This move is also a core move of the 【Cloud Heaven Sword Canon】.

Lan Ruoyun being able to use this move in an instant shows that she has truly mastered this sword canon.

The azure sword light wrapped Lan Ruoyun, and the infinite brightness did not pierce her body.

The light of the human world cannot affect the crane in the lonely sky.

Not only that, the crane cry that went straight to the nine heavens penetrated into Li Fei's heart and mind; the variations of up to tens of thousands of times in an instant turned everything in his consciousness into noise.

This is a strike that shatters the heart's defense!

Li Fei had blue light flashing in his eyes; the characteristic of the Hunyuan Jin Gang Force is the combination of yin and yang, both offensive and defensive, so he could maintain the 【Fixed Evil Jin Gang Dharma Image】 while displaying 【Infinite Brightness Fire】.

When the crane cry pierced over, the Fixed Evil Jin Gang Dharma Image visualized in his heart and mind was like jade suffering a heavy blow, covered in cracks!

But this style of Dao Force was still blocked by Li Fei.

At the same time, Lan Ruoyun's sword stabbed toward his throat.

Offense and defense changed shape.

Li Fei turned his wrist and slashed the middle section of the sword body with one hand.

Lan Ruoyun had long been prepared; a strand of force hidden in the sword body erupted, wanting to shake away the slashing Ghost Slaying Knife.

In the previous few knife and sword collisions, she had all relied on stronger force and techniques that were a large margin stronger to achieve this point.

However, this strike, the Ghost Slaying Knife slashed onto the sword body like a hot knife through butter, and the massive force that exceeded Lan Ruoyun's expectations swung her long sword away!

A flash of surprise passed through Lan Ruoyun's eyes.

This is a typical case of breaking technique with force, but clearly her force intensity and technique were both above Li Fei's, and the force attached to the Ghost Slaying Knife had already been successfully broken by her.

Where did this extra power come from?

Core-level extraordinary ability? Actually able to be so powerful?!

Lan Ruoyun's response was extremely fast; the long sword had just been swung away, and a new strand of force surged into the sword body, stabilizing the sword body, and then accelerated to stab forward.

But what Lan Ruoyun didn't expect was that Li Fei seemed to have expected her to change moves like this, actually taking the initiative to use his left shoulder to crash into her!

Swish—

The sword tip pierced through the clothes, pierced through the skin and flesh, and stabbed into Li Fei's left shoulder!

But the next second, the flesh and blood inside seemed to turn into unbreakable diamond, firmly clamping this sword tip.

All the power was like mud sinking into the sea; the sword that was enough to pierce gold and split clouds could not advance even a fraction!

Li Fei shook his wrist, and the Ghost Slaying Knife slashed forward, slashing toward Lan Ruoyun's head.

At the same time, a ball of black flame surged out from his left shoulder, burning along the long sword toward Lan Ruoyun's hand holding the sword!

Offense and defense changed shape again.

From Li Fei suddenly using Dao Force, to Lan Ruoyun countering with Dao Force, to now close-quarters combat, it was only in a short two seconds.

In the crowd watching the battle, only Lan Lan Mingqian could see that it was the critical moment at this time.

He saw the characteristics contained in the black flame Li Fei erupted; this is a very thorny attack.

Lan Ruoyun also saw it.

At this time, she either had to abandon the sword and retreat, or she had to take Li Fei's knife head-on and also be hit by that ball of flame.

No matter which one she chose, it seemed the victory or defeat had been decided.

Lan Ruoyun chose to abandon the sword and retreat.

The blade light and the flame were both just a little bit away from touching her body.

Just as she was retreating, the long sword stuck in Li Fei's left shoulder suddenly shook, as if it had turned into an ethereal cloud, sliding out of Li Fei's left shoulder very smoothly, and flew back into Lan Ruoyun's hand!

The Blood Soul Bead can transfer the power that causes direct damage to Li Fei, but the changes in force Lan Ruoyun left in the sword body before letting go were extremely soft and spiritual, and did not cause him any damage.

So this sword successfully escaped.

In just a few seconds, Lan Ruoyun had already gained insight into Li Fei's "defensive mechanism."

Core-level extraordinary ability—Clear Appraisal!

The wound on Li Fei's left shoulder closed immediately, stopping the bleeding.

Lan Ruoyun, who had regained her grip on the sword, had already forced her way up again.

Her speed suddenly became much faster, and it was extremely lively and changeable; rays of phantoms circled around Li Fei, like cranes dancing gracefully.

Rays of sword light swept across beautiful arcs, slashing toward Li Fei continuously.

The crowd watching the battle around the square watched with fascination; even ordinary people who didn't understand martial arts, even if they couldn't see the specific situation of the confrontation at all, were still attracted by this absolutely beautiful scene.

Li Fei relied on the massive power brought by 【Blood Rage】, combined with the Hunyuan Jin Gang Force to break technique with force, slashing and breaking the sword light time and again.

But Lan Ruoyun was always able to use various exquisite means to unload his knife, or dodge the attack with extremely lively movement, and then calmly launch a counterattack, stabbing Li Fei's body time and again!

Her person was like a crane dancing in the lonely sky.

Her sword was like an ethereal and uncertain cloud.

Every movement, every sword strike, contained indescribable beauty and extremely exquisite changes in force.

Li Fei attacked while defending with the Hunyuan Star Armor plus "Tyrant Body," but the Star Armor was broken time and again.

The strongest Dao Foundation stage he had confronted before was Gu Yuefeng of the Qingshan Sword Sect.

The other party was only a line away from breaking the realm, and the combat power displayed at that time was enough to board the candidate list of the Wind and Cloud General Ranking, even approaching those strong people on the official list.

So when Li Fei killed Gu Yuefeng, the Blue-Faced Ghost directly boarded the 9th place on the Wind and Cloud General Ranking.

Now confronting Lan Ruoyun, who was ranked higher, he truly realized the gold content of the Wind and Cloud General Ranking.

Lan Ruoyun, who was originally ranked 4th and now ranked 5th, was a grade stronger than Gu Yuefeng!

Force, extraordinary abilities, and even Dao Force, Gu Yuefeng was not bad in these.

What truly opened the gap between the two was sword technique.

Although the Qingshan Sword Sect is also a major martial arts sect, it is far inferior to the Lan family, one of the Seven Great Families, in sword technique inheritance.

And Lan Ruoyun's sword technique realm was also above Gu Yuefeng's.

This created two completely different grades, even though both were at the peak of the Dao Foundation stage!

Li Fei had similarly broken technique with force, could fight Gu Yuefeng to a draw, and finally relied on thick blood to slowly grind the other party to death.

But now the upper limit of 【Blood Rage】 was higher, and the force was stronger than before, yet he couldn't suppress Lan Ruoyun.

After slashing and breaking a sword light again, Li Fei's figure flashed and suddenly split into two.

A sword light pierced through the chest of one of the Li Feis, blowing a big hole in his chest.

But this clone did not dissipate because of this.

The next second, another clone appeared, and then the third.

These clones were not enough to pose a threat to Lan Ruoyun, but they could block the sword for Li Fei.

After incorporating enough blood evil energy, these clones were very tough and were very qualified meat shields.

Lan Ruoyun had to divert a portion of her energy to wipe out these clones, not letting the number of clones accumulate.

But this also gave Li Fei an opportunity to counterattack.

He ignored the stabbing sword light and only focused on "exchanging knives" with Lan Ruoyun!

Lan Ruoyun had to divert a portion of her energy again to resolve Li Fei's attack.

After more than ten moves, her brows were tightly locked, and she was rarely somewhat irritable.

Her sword technique attainment was extremely high, and she raised her own combat power by a grade by sword technique, thereby boarding the Wind and Cloud General Ranking step by step, opening a gap with other peak Dao Foundation stage martial artists.

But now her sword technique, which she was proud of, failed to exert the effect it should have had in front of Li Fei.

No matter how exquisite the move changes, no matter how subtle the force control, no matter how exquisite the combat thinking.

Li Fei's response from beginning to end had only one—ignore!

Don't dismantle, don't respond, and don't dodge.

Letting the long sword stab his body time and again, Li Fei only pursued slashing the knife onto Lan Ruoyun's body as well!

It was like a chef who had spent all his heart and blood to make a table of delicious dishes, and then presented the dishes one by one, but the evaluation he got in return was only one—

Dirt!

This feeling made Lan Ruoyun extremely uncomfortable; clearly she had repeatedly broken the opponent's protective force, but couldn't cause any damage.

She had never fought such a stifling martial arts competition!

At a certain moment, she swung her sword to take the initiative to meet Li Fei's knife.

At the moment of knife and sword collision, the sharp sonic boom sounded again.

It was as if a crane shadow swept across the nine heavens, and the dazzling sword light illuminated the entire square!

Aloof, sharp, piercing straight into people's hearts.

【Nine Heavens Crane Cry】 reappeared!

Li Fei took a step ahead to visualize the 【Fixed Evil Jin Gang Phase】, using Dao Force to block Dao Force.

The next instant, Lan Ruoyun's long sword stabbed toward his throat again.

Everything seemed to be the same as the previous round.

But just when Li Fei swung his knife to slash the middle section of the long sword, the massive power carrying the sharp and unparalleled Hunyuan Jin Gang Force vanished in an instant!

The powerful force was like slashing into a bottomless trace of heaven; this knife failed to shake Lan Ruoyun's sword body at all.

No, it wasn't that it failed to shake it, but that it enhanced this sword!

The long sword accelerated suddenly, and its momentum increased by a large margin!

This knife slashed by Li Fei was like cooperating with Lan Ruoyun's sword, attacking himself together.

This was a move that completely violated common sense; Li Fei's knife was a horizontal cut, Lan Ruoyun's sword was a straight stab; no matter how the force changed, it was impossible to shift all his power onto Lan Ruoyun's long sword in an instant, and assist this sword to continue stabbing forward!

This was not a move that could be explained by technique.

This is the highest secret technique of the Lan family, and also the strongest style of Dao Force in the "Cloud Heaven Sword Canon"—

【Lan Cause, Fluff Fruit】!

This is truly technique approaching the Dao!

The reason why the Lan family's Grandmaster-realm Ancestor's evaluation of Lan Ruoyun was "within the Dao Foundation stage, no matter who you face, you have at least a ten percent chance of winning" was because Lan Ruoyun had practiced this sword.

This is a sword that is enough to instantly reverse victory or defeat, life or death!

Lan Ruoyun had been preparing for this sword from the beginning of the martial arts competition; she still couldn't use it lightly, needing to slowly "build up momentum."

Now it was finally completed, and this sword was used.

Although Li Fei had always taken her sword head-on before, he had never used a fatal vital part to take it, so Lan Ruoyun judged that Li Fei's defense was strong, but it hadn't reached the point of having no weaknesses at all.

At this time, this sword was her own power plus Li Fei's power; the two were superimposed, and what was stabbed was a weak point like the throat.

It was enough to decide the victory or defeat!

Lan Lan Mingqian, who was watching the battle, prepared to take action to intercept this sword.

It was just a martial arts competition, he naturally couldn't let his daughter seriously injure Li Fei.

In fact, Lan Ruoyun dared to use such a killing move to strike Li Fei's vital point so unscrupulously, also because there was a Martial Dao Master watching from the side.

However, just at the moment when Lan Lan Mingqian's divine ability was about to be used, Li Fei made a move that neither father nor daughter had expected at all.

He actually took the initiative to crash into the sword light!

Lan Lan Mingqian's face changed drastically, and Lan Ruoyun was also shocked, thinking that she was about to accidentally kill a Marquis!

But when the sword light stabbed Li Fei's throat, it only broke the protective force, then broke the skin, and finally was clamped by the flesh and blood inside, unable to advance even a fraction.

Facing the Lan family's strongest stunt, facing Lan Ruoyun's most proud sword technique, Li Fei's "evaluation" remained—

Still "Dirt."
