Chapter 55: A Shocking Battle (Part 2)

  Ao Xue looked at Lu Yun in mid-air, her eyes filled with blessings and encouragement. Listening to Master's words, she couldn't help but say softly: "Lu Yun still has one sword mantra that hasn't been used, I believe he will use it."

  As soon as she spoke, the crowd in Yi Garden was stunned, looking at her with puzzled and bewildered expressions. Everyone wanted to know from her what other sword moves Lu Yun had, and why no one else knew about them. But at this moment, Ao Xue simply gazed up at the sky, remaining silent and indifferent.

  In mid-air, Lu Yun was forced to dodge in all directions by Jian Wucheng's sword, looking extremely disheveled. In his heart, Lu Yun couldn't help but admit that Jian Wucheng's cultivation was incredibly powerful, his judgment accurate, and his speed astonishing. Watching Jian Wucheng bounce around like a ball, fast as lightning, Lu Yun counterattacked with all his might while considering how to shake off the relentless attacks that seemed to follow him everywhere.

  At the critical moment, Lu Yun decided to use his Mind Wave to analyze his opponent's movements. With the help of Mind Wave, Lu Yun immediately analyzed out Jian Wucheng's attacking method. However, this result was quite shocking to Lu Yun. Because the result he analyzed was that every attack by Jian Wucheng was based on the direction of airflow rotation when he moved, and carried out tracking attacks. This is why no matter how he dodged, he couldn't shake off his opponent's attacks.

  Lu Yun's eyes turned cold, and his body flashed with a silver light before he vanished into thin air. In that instant, he suddenly employed the spatial leap technique taught by Xiao Tian, silently traversing through space before reappearing five zhang away in mid-air. Thus, Lu Yun finally shook off Jian Wucheng's pursuit, turning from being passive to taking the initiative. A flash of light appeared, and with a thought, the Heart-Soul Sword shot out, accompanied by a powerful sword pillar that descended from the sky without warning, enveloping Jian Wucheng in its attack.

  Jian Wucheng's eyes changed, and a hint of shock appeared on his face. Due to Lu Yun's sudden attack, Jian Wucheng clearly knew that it was already too late to counterattack at this moment. At the critical moment, Jian Wucheng's body flashed with five-colored light, and he deployed the Tianjian Institute's Instant Movement technique, mysteriously avoiding Lu Yun's fierce strike and reappearing several meters away.

  In mid-air, the two men locked eyes again, both fully focused on each other, looking extremely cautious. Swordless Coldly gazed at Lu Yun in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you still had a few tricks up your sleeve. Very well, now come and try my Heaven-Shaking Technique." As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Spirit Sword let out a sword hum and dragon wail, with five-colored light bursting forth violently. A dazzling sword aura, accompanied by over ten zhang of sword energy, split into three parts, attacking Lu Yun from both sides and above simultaneously.

  Lu Yun's expression was heavy, as if his heart and soul were bursting with energy. A faint dragon-like flame danced within the light of his sword. Alongside Lu Yun's loud roar, the blood-red blade also split into three, meeting Swordless Dust's powerful strike head-on. In mid-air, two different colored auras collided, instantly releasing a brilliant radiance that forced all onlookers to shut their eyes.

  In the midst of a powerful explosion, the two retreated separately. Looking at Lu Yun, Jian Wucheng shouted loudly: "Tianjian Ninth Style Fifth Style - Chuantian Style." As he spoke, Jian Wucheng's entire body spun rapidly. With his accelerating rotation, the Tianling Divine Sword in his hand burst forth with a dazzling brilliant light, transforming into a five-colored pillar of light that enveloped Lu Yun in an instant, exuding an aura of unparalleled dominance.

  As they watched Jian Wucheng's powerful offensive, many of the onlookers on the ground were thinking about what ultimate move Lu Yun would use to counterattack. Xuan Yu and Zi Yang were also watching Lu Yun, wondering how he would deal with this formidable enemy. Would it be Yi Yuan's Lihuo Tiange Sword Technique? At this point, it was probably not enough to withstand a single blow. But aside from that, what else could Lu Yun use?

  In the air, Lu Yun also understood that using the fierce fire of Tianxia Sword Art to deal with Jian Wucheng was useless. Looking at his powerful opponent in front of him, he knew in his heart that it was time to go all out. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Lu Yun's body suddenly burst forth with an extremely powerful and unparalleled aura, instantly enveloping everyone present in his overwhelming aura.

  This powerful momentum made everyone in Yi Garden feel invigorated and hopeful. On the other hand, the people of Tianjian Institute changed their expressions, unable to believe that Lu Yun could still burst out with such a strong momentum at this time. Around them, everyone showed a look of surprise, wondering how deep Lu Yun's cultivation was and why they couldn't see through him.

  "The nine bends of the Yellow River surge with angry waves, rushing to the sea and never returning!" Amidst the loud shout, Lu Yun's entire body burst forth with a fierce and bold aura, like the surging waves of the Yellow River, charging towards the East Sea, shocking every single person present. A crimson glow spread across Lu Yun's entire body in an instant, layer upon layer of red light rippling like waves. Blindingly bright red lights, like raging flames, formed a beautiful and dazzling lotus platform beneath Lu Yun's feet, rapidly spinning around. On his head, the As-You-Wish Heart-Soul Sword burst forth with a surge of crimson light, a pillar of red sword energy rising against the wind, instantly growing to twenty zhang in length. A fierce fire dragon coiled around the sword pillar, ceaselessly rotating, creating an extraordinary sight that was both breathtakingly beautiful and shocking.

  Coldly staring at the spinning and flying sword, Wu Yun suddenly shouted, his intent and soulful sword aimed at the five-colored light column and slashed out fiercely. In mid-air, the rotating five-colored light column and the bright red sword column collided violently, instantly producing a shocking explosion. A loud roar, like thunder shaking the sky, spread throughout the arena. Just as everyone's mind was shaken, the powerful airflow, carrying a terrifying force, immediately sent countless Tianjian Academy disciples flying.

  A cold snort and a cold laugh sounded out at the same time, colorful lights scattered in mid-air, revealing the figures of Lu Yun and Jian Wucheng. Lu Yun's face was pale, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes; while Jian Wucheng had a gloomy expression, with a faint trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, his eyes fiercely staring at Lu Yun. In this battle, Lu Yun finally managed to suppress Jian Wucheng's sharp aura, gaining a slight upper hand.

  "The ground, Liu Xing's face was gloomy and said: 'The sword technique used by Lu Yun is absolutely not the sword technique of Yi Garden. Where did he learn this sword technique from? Why have we never seen it before? This matter must be investigated clearly.' Li Changchun heard this and nodded slightly, his eyes showing a hint of coldness."

  On this side, Xuan Yu Zhenren looked at the half-empty space and said softly: "Lu Yun's sword technique is learned from which school? Why have I never seen it before?"

  Lin Yunfeng's expression changed to one of surprise and delight: "No matter where he learned it, as long as he can defeat Jian Wucheng, defeating the Tianjian Academy is all that matters."

  Zi Yang Zhen Ren nodded in agreement: "That's right, as long as you can win, that's all that matters. This sword technique is majestic and powerful, it's definitely not some kind of evil or unorthodox ultimate skill."

  Xuan Yu Zhen Ren sighed lightly: "If you don't make it clear, do you think the Tian Jian Yuan will let things go so easily?" The crowd's hearts shook, and only then did they understand Xuan Yu Zhen Ren's meaning.

  Looking at the half-empty sky, Ao Xue's eyes revealed a hint of a smile, as if he had thought of something. After scanning the crowd with his eyes, Ao Xue said in a low voice: "This is the sword technique that Lu Yun has never used before, which was unintentionally created by him on Mount Tai Xuan, by the banks of the Yellow River, and is called the Night Moon Slash!"

  Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and they all looked at her with suspicion. Xuan Yu asked: "Ao Xue, how did you know about this matter? When exactly did it happen, and why didn't we know about it?"

  Gazing quietly at the clouds in the sky, Ao Xue smiled faintly and said softly: "Because I can also do Night Moon Slash, if Tian Jian Yuan asks, just tell them that, Master."

  Upon hearing this, the True Person of Mysterious Jade looked at everyone and stopped asking questions. At this moment, everyone's heart was clear that this was a secret between Lu Yun and Ao Xue, and it was not suitable to ask too much.

  Looking up at the sky, everyone in Yi Garden had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, hoping that Lu Yun could rely on Ye Yue's slash method to defeat Jian Wu Chen and bring Yi Garden to the top of the six institutes. However, whether this hope can be realized, no one can say clearly for now.
