Guan Qingyun’s feet flashed with a red glow as he advanced instead of retreating, swiftly moving towards Li Guanqi!

In an instant, the arena was filled with sword light scattering in all directions, the sound of clashing swords ringing out incessantly.

Clang clang clang clang clang!!

Ding clang! Bang bang!

Both sides had a deep understanding of the way of the sword, with basic sword moves and forms transforming into myriad variations in their hands.

It wasn’t just the swinging of longswords; in the gaps between sword strikes, fists, feet, knees, and elbows all became the sharpest of attacks, smashing towards each other!

Waves of air billowed out from the center of their clash.

This scene made the onlookers hold their breath, not even blinking, afraid to miss anything.

Even some cultivators who had just entered the Golden Elixir Realm murmured to themselves upon seeing this.

“If it were just a sword fight, I might not be able to defeat these two…”

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators were shocked, their mouths agape.

“Is this… something a Foundation Establishment cultivator can do?!”

A white robe fluttered in the air with a whooshing sound.

Terrifying power transmitted through the longswords into their hands, and in just a few breaths, both of their palms were split open!

Blood dyed their right hands red, yet their offensive became even more ferocious.

The wild sword light attacked the other like dense raindrops.

Each move was lethal!

A fighting spirit surged in the hearts of both men!

Clang clang clang clang!!

Guan Qingyun’s attacks were wide and powerful, with the momentum of being unstoppable!

His sword techniques mainly consisted of chopping and slashing, while Li Guanqi’s sword forms were ever-changing, sometimes light, sometimes heavy.

He also used many cunning feints.

Pfft! Sss!

Before long, both men had several sword wounds on their bodies!

Fortunately, both reacted quickly and only suffered minor injuries.

Guan Qingyun’s tiger-like eyes shimmered non-stop, and his sword technique suddenly changed!

His already unstoppable sword momentum became even more fierce!

Guan Qingyun’s sword burst into dazzling red light, and he roared, “Crimson Flame Sword!”

A streak of red sword light wrapped around Li Guanqi’s sword, heading straight for his eyes!

Even a foot away from the sword light, Li Guanqi felt a scorching sensation!

Li Guanqi was startled, not expecting the opponent’s fire Spirit Root to be so pure.

Just the Primordial Energy alone made him feel the heat of the flames.

In an instant, Li Guanqi retreated continuously, while Guan Qingyun’s sword light pressed on step by step.

At the same time, Guan Qingyun took out several Spirit Talismans and stuck them on his body, and as the talismans flickered, Li Guanqi felt an unprecedented pressure!

Zhao Beichen couldn’t help but murmur upon seeing this, “Can you withstand this onslaught?”

The Crimson Flame Sword Technique, a sword technique in Xuanmen Hall comparable to an Earth-grade inferior technique!

Combined with a fire Spirit Root, it could unleash the maximum power of this sword technique.

Clearly, Guan Qingyun had taken this to the extreme!

A total of seventy-two swords!

Li Guanqi’s sword swung at the limit speed of seven strikes in one breath!!

However, as he raised his sword to block the fiery red sword light, Li Guanqi noticed Guan Qingyun’s left hand hidden in his sleeve move slightly.

A strong sense of crisis made him feel a chill in his heart.

Boom!!

Suddenly, three fiery red Magical Longswords appeared behind Li Guanqi and shot towards him!!

As his Divine Sense sharply detected the anomaly, he risked injury to quickly form a sword technique with his left hand!

Guan Qingyun shouted, “Spirit Spell! Two hundred seventy-six, Triple Flame Sword!”

Three flame Magical Longswords shot towards Li Guanqi’s back in a ‘品’ formation.

Sizzle!!

A Thunder Whip instantly coiled towards the back!!

Bang bang bang!!

Boom!!!

Terrifying explosions sounded one after another in the arena!

After a dozen breaths, the dust in the center slowly dissipated.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the figure emerging from the dust.

Li Guanqi stood at the edge of the arena, blood continuously dripping down from his arms.

Dozens of feet away, Guan Qingyun was also in bad shape, with a mark on his face from the Thunder Whip, his cheek instantly turning charred black.

His body was covered with numerous sword wounds.

Even after using the Crimson Flame Sword, he still couldn’t block the opponent’s extremely fast sword!

The speed at which both men used Spirit Spells shocked everyone.

Others needed to prepare and guide their Primordial Energy and adjust their mindset to use a Spirit Spell.

In their hands, it was as if they were using pre-drawn Spirit Talismans.

Blood soaked Guan Qingyun’s robe into a blood-red color, and he looked towards Li Guanqi with a heavy gaze.

The opponent’s strength was much stronger than he had imagined.

Not only did Li Guanqi feel the pressure, but Guan Qingyun also felt an unprecedented sense of oppression!

The terrifying speed of the sword still left him with lingering fear.

Guan Qingyun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his hand still trembling slightly, and he stared at Li Guanqi with a grave voice.

“I admit I underestimated you before! You are indeed strong!”

However, at that moment, thick dark clouds appeared in the sky without anyone noticing!

Heavy clouds churned, and lightning arcs continuously streaked out of the clouds.

Suddenly, the figure in the smoke slowly raised an arm and beckoned with a finger.

Li Guanqi’s eyes were fierce as he shouted, “Break the Formation! Thunder Spear!”

Boom rumble rumble!!

In an instant, thunder surged, and a purple thunder spear shot down from the sky!

Thud!!

The thunder spear unobstructed, shot towards Guan Qingyun through the formation!

Boom!!!

In an instant, the vast arena trembled violently, and the flagstones within ten feet of Guan Qingyun shattered!!

Li Guanqi didn’t give his opponent a chance and instantly rose to his feet with his sword ready to strike!!

The sheathed longsword did not relax anyone’s vigilance.

Anyone could sense that the next time the longsword was drawn, it would be a thunderous strike!!

Boom!!

A visibly hot and fiery sword light flashed through the smoke and disappeared!!

“Thundering Strike!!!”

Clang!! Boom!!

Li Guanqi’s figure was instantly thrown dozens of feet, dragging his feet across the arena for nearly twenty feet before barely stopping!

Pfft!!

He spat out a mouthful of surging blood, and the young man with an unusually flushed face slowly lifted his head to look forward!

There stood Guan Qingyun, proudly with a vicious wound pierced through his shoulder on his left chest!

However, at this moment, Guan Qingyun’s sword was ablaze with raging red flames.

Guan Qingyun, with a fierce look on his face, licked the blood from his lips and said, “I didn’t expect you to push me this far!”

Li Guanqi’s pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints!!

The longsword burning with red flames was the special ability granted by the Sword Ruins’ spirit soul!

“This guy has also awakened the Sword Spirit Ruin!”

Elders from dozens of sects watched this scene with shocked expressions.

In contrast, the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect appeared calm.

In their hearts, Li Guanqi was like a war god, firmly believing that he would not lose to Guan Qingyun.

Li Guanqi’s eyes narrowed slightly, his brows furrowed as he watched, thinking to himself.

“What is his spirit soul weapon ability…”

Feeling that nearly half of his Primordial Energy was depleted, Li Guanqi took a deep breath and closed his eyes!

“Sword Ruins, open!!!”

Boom!!!
