Chapter 170: The Brilliance of That Blade!

Above the high platform.

Qin Chaoyang and the others also stared fixedly at Lu Zhangsheng and the other.

Everyone was quite looking forward to the result of this battle.

"Does the Marquis think who will win this battle?"

Di Zhiyu smiled faintly.

Even these few Grandmasters found it difficult to distinguish who was stronger or weaker between the two.

Judging by aura alone, the two were evenly matched.

"Lu Zhangsheng will win slightly."

Qin Chaoyang spat out a few words directly.

As the son-in-law he had identified, he still hoped the opponent could win.

Although he didn't have much confidence in his heart either.

After all, Dong Chenghan's strength was top-tier among many Heavenly Prides.

He had a thirty to forty percent chance of winning against Ke Yanfeng and Ji Wenrui.

"This Seat thinks Dong Chenghan will powerfully suppress Lu Zhangsheng."

"I believe everyone knows the power of the Five Elements Domain; it is definitely not weaker than the Killing Domain, and besides, the opponent also has two-tenths domain power……"

Luo Tianxiang, standing to the side, suddenly smiled and interrupted, a trace of disdain in his eyes.

As Qin Chaoyang's mortal enemy, seeing the other create momentum for Lu Zhangsheng, he naturally had to mock him.

"Haha, both have a chance."

Di Zhiyu hurriedly laughed and tried to smooth things over.

Although he also felt that Dong Chenghan had a better chance of winning.

Many Innate powerhouses on the field also believed that Dong Chenghan had a higher winning rate and began to discuss.

Dong Chenghan had long been the third-ranked Heavenly Pride, and his strength was obvious to all.

Many Qingning Prefecture martial artists and Qin Ruoshui and others were also nervous.

They stared fixedly at Lu Zhangsheng and the other on the stage.

For fear of missing a single bit.

Just as everyone had different thoughts, the battle on the arena erupted instantly.

"Whoosh……"

Dong Chenghan's Innate True Qi erupted violently, and a green domain spread rapidly toward the surroundings.

Within a radius of two *li*, it felt as if one were in a large forest.

Countless trees rose from the ground, lush and green, as if they could cover the sky and sun.

Even the crowd around the arena felt an extremely oppressive aura.

Dong Chenghan stood with his hands behind his back on a towering tree, overlooking the living beings below.

His aura climbed step by step, becoming increasingly violent.

After stimulating his domain, his aura reached its limit.

"What a terrifying Wood Domain; it truly lives up to being one of the Five Elements Domains. If the Five Elements were gathered, it would truly reach the heaven-defying level."

The crowd looked at the stage with solemn faces.

The two-tenths Wood Domain was not inferior to Lu Zhangsheng's in the slightest; now the two were afraid they would have a fierce battle.

Seeing this, Qin Ruoshui and the others had some worry in their eyes.

Dong Chenghan hadn't even struck yet, and he had such momentum; Lu Zhangsheng was likely to fall into a bitter battle.

Seeing this situation, Lu Zhangsheng was calm.

He was also not to be outdone, and his Killing Domain erupted with full force.

"*Zzz*……"

Boundless blood mist began to spread rapidly until it filled the entire area of two *li*.

Countless skeleton knights began to crawl up from the ground, the baleful aura becoming increasingly thick, and bursts of wailing sounds resounded throughout the field.

The domains of the two overlapped and began to clash violently; for a time, neither could do anything to the other.

In the large forest, blood mist lingered, emitting wisps of corrosive energy, gradually dissolving the giant trees nearby……

The two stimulated their Innate True Qi and began to compete with full force.

Lu Zhangsheng did not expose his three-tenths domain, only using the strength he had when defeating Yu Cheng.

He planned to expose the three-tenths domain only during the finals.

And he suspected that Ke Yanfeng and the other might have hidden quite a bit of strength.

They were currently observing him with full force, so he naturally had to keep something in reserve.

Using only the two-tenths Killing Domain was enough to break Dong Chenghan.

Gradually.

As time passed.

The Killing Domain slowly gained the upper hand, frantically corroding the surrounding trees, and the ground beneath their feet turned into a vast ocean of blood, which was very creepy.

After a few breaths.

Dong Chenghan was shocked.

"This is impossible!"

Seeing that his own Five Elements Domain was completely no match, he found it hard to believe, as if monstrous waves were surging in his heart.

One must know that his Wood Domain, as part of the Five Elements Domain, had power that was definitely in the top tier among all domains.

Compared to Lu Zhangsheng's Killing Domain, it was not inferior in the slightest.

And his domain had also been cultivated to two tenths.

Yet he still had a feeling of being unable to resist.

"Could this person's domain power be approaching three tenths?"

At this very moment, this thought suddenly popped into his mind.

His pupils shrank suddenly.

Only then could it be explained clearly; otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress his Wood Domain.

The crowd off-stage was also full of shock, staring at Lu Zhangsheng with dumbfounded eyes.

Their eyes were full of disbelief.

Domain power, like divine abilities, becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate the higher one goes.

Many Innate powerhouses find it difficult to achieve minor accomplishment in their entire lives.

They didn't expect Lu Zhangsheng to have cultivated it to such an astonishing level just after breaking through to the Innate Realm.

This was simply a freak.

Qin Ruoshui and Fang Qing and her brother and others showed excitement one after another, clenching their fists tightly.

At this moment, a trace of confidence suddenly rose in their hearts; Lu Zhangsheng was likely really going to enter the finals.

"Haha…… Brother Ke is going to lose."

Ji Wenrui had a joyful face.

Seeing Dong Chenghan's Wood Domain being suppressed, he couldn't help but speak out.

Being able to get a spiritual object for free still made him quite happy.

"The Wood Domain has quite powerful vitality; Lu Zhangsheng might not necessarily be able to break it."

Ke Yanfeng waved his hand with a calm face.

In his view, although Lu Zhangsheng's Killing Domain had a slight upper hand, wanting to completely defeat Dong Chenghan was not easy.

Hearing this, Ji Wenrui also put away his smile.

What the other said was true; the two might end in a draw.

Even he believed that relying solely on domain power, it was difficult to break Dong Chenghan.

The three Grandmasters above the high platform also had different thoughts.

Luo Tianxiang frowned, a trace of gloom appearing in his eyes.

He didn't expect Lu Zhangsheng to be able to gain the upper hand.

He had already labeled the opponent as being under Qin Chaoyang, so he naturally wouldn't have a good expression.

Qin Chaoyang, however, smiled faintly, quite proud.

He had a discerning eye and had judged it before the battle started.

Di Zhiyu, standing to the side, also showed surprise.

According to the current situation, Lu Zhangsheng had about a sixty percent chance of winning.

Just as there was frantic discussion on the field, the battle on the arena started again.

"Kill."

Seeing the Wood Domain gradually disintegrating, Dong Chenghan could no longer sit still.

He raised the blue long sword in his hand and stabbed forward violently.

With the full eruption of divine ability power and Innate True Qi, his momentum suddenly skyrocketed by a large notch.

Brilliant sword light flickered at the tip of the sword, emitting bursts of whistling sounds, extremely sharp.

His divine ability, the Yi Wood Sword Art, had been cultivated to minor accomplishment; combined with the Wood Domain, its power skyrocketed even more.

The combination of the two was also his confidence in roaming Dazhou.

After all, those who could perfectly match divine abilities with domains were also a very small minority.

This was also his "Dao."

"Slash."

Seeing this, Lu Zhangsheng didn't hesitate to draw the Jinhuang Blade and slash forward quickly.

"Clatter……"

The dazzling blade light descended from the sky, like a heavenly river falling into the human world; the mist around surged, carrying an extremely terrifying aura.

In this slash, he also didn't hold back, stimulating the divine ability Slaying Demons Divine Extinction Slash to the limit.

This minor divine ability was formed by the panel fusing countless skills, so its power went without saying.

"Boom, boom, boom……"

In an instant, the weapons of both sides collided.

A heaven-shaking loud noise came, violent gale winds swept in all directions, dust and smoke rolled, and the ground seemed to shake like an earthquake.

The cheeks of the crowd nearby were also stung by the gale winds, and they were full of horror, hurriedly stimulating True Qi to resist.

Afterward, a group of people hurriedly looked at the situation of the battle on the stage.

"*Crack*……"

Dong Chenghan's surrounding domain suddenly collapsed, like a lens, turning into bursts of spiritual energy gale winds that swept outward. His entire body also retreated more than ten meters, arriving at the back of the arena, his right hand trembling uncontrollably.

"Such a strong killing divine ability."

Dong Chenghan was full of horror; a killing will seemed to want to freeze his soul, making him very uncomfortable.

He never expected that Lu Zhangsheng would also have a killing divine ability perfectly matched with domain power.

With the two superimposed, he was completely suppressed.

Now, even if he wanted to fight to a draw, it would be very difficult.

Lu Zhangsheng, on the other hand, stood firmly in place, like a high mountain, difficult to be shaken in the slightest.

A powerful aura permeated the entire field.

After one strike, the difference was clear.

Lu Zhangsheng occupied the absolute upper hand.

And the aftermath of the battle between the two directly shattered the opponent's Wood Domain.

"What a terrifying slash."

The crowd around was full of shock.

Lu Zhangsheng's slash seemed to want to freeze everyone's soul; they couldn't even feel a trace of resistance.

Ordinary Innate powerhouses were just there to be slaughtered.

"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories."

Many Qingning Prefecture martial artists began to cheer, the momentum shaking the sky.

This battle, Lu Zhangsheng was clearly steady.

Next, not beyond everyone's expectations, Lu Zhangsheng seized the opportunity and rushed up again.

Under the operation of the footwork divine ability, he turned into residual shadows traversing the arena.

With a wave of his hand, blade light crisscrossed wantonly; the entire stage was full of blade light and ghost shadows.

Endless blade light surrounded Dong Chenghan, like a giant fishing net, and the opponent was the prey struggling in the net.

And this giant net was gradually shrinking.

Dong Chenghan sublimated to the extreme, struggling to resist, and his Wood Domain was stimulated to the limit.

The long sword swung in his hand, and sword Qi soared to the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom……"

Energy on the field cut wantonly, and even the bricks and stones on the ground began to collapse, rolling up layers of smoke and clouds.

For a time, even the crowd found it difficult to see the situation of the battle inside.

Everyone was looking forward to seeing who would win and who would lose.

As time passed.

Dong Chenghan became increasingly anxious; for the first time, he felt what it meant to be desperate.

Lu Zhangsheng not only exceeded him in attack but also completely crushed him in speed.

"Could Lu Zhangsheng have cultivated the speed divine ability to minor accomplishment as well?"

"What kind of freak is this?"

Dong Chenghan roared frantically in his heart while struggling to resist.

He really couldn't figure out who had the time to keep up with both blade techniques and speed divine abilities.

Except for some Holy Sons and God Sons with astonishing bloodlines.

But Lu Zhangsheng clearly didn't rely on bloodline power; it was all his own cultivation.

This was too terrifying.

In the distance, Ke Yanfeng's eyes were full of solemnity; he also felt a serious threat from Lu Zhangsheng.

Both attack power and speed were top-tier; this was already being in an invincible position.

Even he would find it very tricky if he encountered him.

Ji Wenrui, standing to the side, gnawed on a chicken leg, a trace of a smile always on his face.

It seemed he only cared about his chicken leg and the bet; the outcome didn't matter at all.

Qin Chaoyang's eyes also revealed a trace of surprise.

The surprises Lu Zhangsheng brought him were increasing.

"Haha…… the Marquis has a discerning eye."

Di Zhiyu smiled and complimented.

According to the situation on the field, Lu Zhangsheng clearly had victory in his grasp.

He congratulated him in advance.

Only Luo Tianxiang, standing to the side, had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

……

Time passed.

Half an hour later.

Dong Chenghan was already in precarious danger, like a lonely boat drifting in a storm.

If this continued, he would definitely lose, so he could only fight for his life.

"Ah……"

He immediately roared and stimulated his life-bound Essence Blood.

His aura skyrocketed by a notch.

Then he stabbed forward with his sword, like a star falling into the human world, with extremely fierce momentum.

He wanted to decide the winner in one move.

Divine ability and domain plus a drop of Essence Blood had already reached his limit.

"Break for me."

Lu Zhangsheng also slashed forward with full force.

The Qi and blood True Qi in his body burned rapidly, and a wolf smoke of essence energy shot straight into the sky.

The sharp blade light flickered at the tip of the blade, as if to slash through everything.

"Boom, boom, boom……"

In an instant, the two collided.

A huge roaring sound resounded through the clouds, and a wave spread toward the surroundings, blowing the crowd nearby until they swayed.

*Pfft*……

Dong Chenghan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole person flew backward more than ten meters, landing on the brick ground.

Everywhere his footsteps passed, there were small pits.

His face was extremely pale, and he had already suffered serious injuries.

Although he poured the force into the ground, his internal organs were still shaken and injured by Lu Changsheng.

"I lost."

A trace of loss appeared in Dong Chenghan's eyes.

He had roamed for decades, and this was the first time he had lost so miserably.

"We will fight again next year; next time I will definitely win."

After a few breaths, Dong Chenghan had a firm face and turned to walk slowly toward the back, his footsteps becoming increasingly steady.

In this battle, he was completely convinced.

Dazhou truly had heavens beyond heavens, and there were Heavenly Prides with even stronger talent.

This battle was also his greatest harvest.

The crowd around watched Dong Chenghan's departing figure and remained silent.

If such a powerhouse hadn't encountered Lu Zhangsheng, he likely wouldn't have lost so miserably.

No one dared to mock him.

This was enough to prove how terrifying Lu Zhangsheng was at this moment.

It was highly likely that the opponent would win the Kuaishou.

Lu Zhangsheng listened to Dong Chenghan's words and said nothing.

He never cared about defeated opponents.

Next time, he might be a Grandmaster, and the gap between the two would only widen infinitely.

Just then.

"Roar, roar, roar……"

The Fortune Flood Dragon above Lu Zhangsheng's head began to surge violently.

A massive amount of Fortune was stripped from the top of Dong Chenghan's head and gathered toward Lu Zhangsheng.

The cyan flood dragon frantically absorbed the Fortune, and its body was expanding rapidly.

"Sixteen *zhang*."

"Seventeen *zhang*."

……

It didn't stop until it grew to nineteen *zhang*.

Lu Zhangsheng felt the changes in his own Fortune, and his mind became increasingly clear.

His understanding of divine ability and domain power also became increasingly thorough.

Seeing this, the crowd around looked at Lu Zhangsheng with awe.

After defeating Dong Chenghan, Lu Zhangsheng already had the initial power of invincibility.

Everyone discovered that in this Wanhua Fruit Gathering, Lu Zhangsheng hadn't had a single defeat and had pushed through everything.

It made people feel shocked.

Qin Ruoshui and the others were also full of joy.

They felt honored.

Not far away, Ji Wenrui chuckled: "Bring it here."

He was quite proud; his bet had been correct.

He was also looking forward to fighting Lu Zhangsheng.

Having laid low for many years, he was looking forward to an opponent of sufficient weight.

Lu Zhangsheng was barely qualified.
