Chapter 32: Three Powers Advance (Part 2)

  Lu Yun's body retreated, and with a slap of his left hand on the ground, he borrowed momentum to spin through the air. Suddenly, the sword in Lu Yun's hand burst forth with an extremely fierce and hot flame, forming a fire dragon that rotated along with Lu Yun's spinning body. The fire dragon let out a loud roar, its scarlet body charging towards Leng Jia Hao. Its enormous mouth wide open, the several-meter-large bloody maw engulfed Leng Jia Hao in one bite. Lu Yun hid within the scarlet glow of the fire dragon, his body using the fire dragon as cover to silently and stealthily attack Leng Jia Hao.

  On the side, Zi Yang watched with eyes wide open and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "This is the final move of the Blazing Fire Heaven-Defying Sword Technique, Flame Dragon Scorches the Heavens! I didn't expect Lu Yun to execute it so cleverly, well done indeed!" Yun Feng looked up at the sky and shouted loudly: "Lu Yun, go for it, go for it, defeat him!" Xuan Yu Zhen Ren's eyes also revealed a hint of a smile.

  In mid-air, a furious roar echoed out, and the voice of Leng Jia Hao came through: "Tian Jian Jue's fifth move - Chuan Tian Jue!" Amidst the crimson glow, a dazzling purple light suddenly burst forth, causing the disciples of the Tian Jian Institute to erupt in cheers. Immediately following, from the body of the fire dragon, a figure emerged with a roar and shock, shooting out at an angle - it was Leng Jia Hao. In mid-air, several strands of piercing bloodstains told a story.

  A flash of red light, and the fire dragon suddenly disappeared without warning. Lu Yun stood still in mid-air, looking at Leng Jia Hao who was injured, with a hint of indifference in his eyes. He glanced at Zhan Yu beside him, and Lu Yun's eyes instantly turned cold, his body diving down, as the Yiyue Sword shot out a sword pillar composed of crimson light, shooting straight at his opponent.

  Leng Jia Hao's face changed slightly, having just been ambushed by Lu Yun's hidden aura attack, which had dealt him a not insignificant injury. At the same time, his anger was also extremely strong. Looking at Lu Yun charging over, Leng Jia Hao coldly laughed and said: "Tian Jian Ninth Technique Sixth Technique - Fan Tian Quan!" His long sword quivered, and his body suddenly flipped upside down, head below feet above, as he rotated upwards. As he spun, a powerful gust of wind instantly formed around him in a whirlwind column, accompanied by blue and purple light, shooting up into the air. When Leng Jia Hao's body rose to three zhang distance from the ground, his entire person suddenly accelerated. In an instant, a purple glow shot straight up into the sky, filling the surrounding air with crisscrossing wild energy. Suddenly forming a swirling aura shield that enveloped Lu Yun within it.

  The blue-purple light and the crimson light clashed in mid-air, producing a burst of fragmented shadows that dispersed in all directions, forming a beautiful and peculiar landscape. The light and shadow flickered and intersected, gradually dissipating. In mid-air, Lu Yun's body rotated nine times before landing on the ground, his body shaking three times before stabilizing. On the other side, Leng Jia Hao's body stood suspended in mid-air, coldly gazing at Lu Yun as he prepared for a second wave of attack.

  Lu Yun took a deep breath, gazing at the horizon. Time was running out; it was time to end this. Lu Yun's hand grasped the Reclusive Sword, and with a flick of his wrist, a crimson light burst forth like a wave, spreading in all directions. The red glow carried an overbearing aura, shattering rocks and splitting the earth. In an instant, everything within a radius of ten zhang was reduced to rubble. Lu Yun's body leapt into the air, standing three zhang above the ground. His long sword flashed, its movements swift and agile as clouds, with threads of mysterious blue light gathering around him. The crimson sword energy emitted a whistling sound, slowly forming a unique aura around him.

  A burst of blue light exploded, and a sword column with alternating blue and red colors shot straight into the sky. The overbearing momentum instantly shook all the onlookers, causing them to involuntarily take two steps back. In mid-air, Lu Yun's entire body was hidden within a dazzling dark blue glow. Above this glow, a soaring sword column flashed with alternating blue and red lights, quietly appearing before everyone's eyes.

  At this moment, everyone was shocked by the scene. Ziyang True Person looked at Xuanyu True Person with a shocked face and asked in a trembling voice: "This, this seems to be our Yi Garden, Yi Tian Twelve Jue's last jue - Yitian Huayue, how is it possible? How could Lu Yun possibly cultivate our sect's skills to the highest level in just two years?" Ziyang True Person's shocked expression made Yunfeng's heart skip a beat.

  Xuan Yu Zhenren looked at Lu Yun, looking at the mass of dark blue light, his eyes flickering with an unusual glow, and said softly: "Perhaps this time, he still has a more unexpected performance. After many years, Yi Garden finally produced a world-class genius. I hope that this time, he can bring us surprises."

  The face of Liu Xinghun from the Tianjian Institute changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "The last move of Yi Tian's Twelve Moves, 'Moving Heaven and Changing Month'. How is this possible? He's so young, yet he's already mastered this final move. It's simply unthinkable."

  In mid-air, Leng Jia Hao's face changed greatly, he couldn't have imagined that this person, who was the least famous in Yi Garden, actually had such a powerful cultivation. It was truly unexpected. Casting aside his thoughts, Leng Jia Hao gathered all his strength, his body surrounded by a brilliant purple glow, and with a loud shout, said: "Tian Jian Jiu Jue Seventh Jue - Po Tian Jue!"

  The words fell, the long sword trembled rapidly, with a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye, and instantly slashed out thousands of swords. These thousand purple sword shadows overlapped in mid-air, slowly gathering into a giant sword flowing with purple light, which suddenly chopped down towards Lu Yun. The purple light filled the sky, with an astonishingly powerful purple glow, instantly spreading throughout the entire arena, accompanied by a destructive force that could destroy heaven and earth, carrying a fierce and ferocious aura, directly enveloping Lu Yun.

  At the same time, Lu Yun also let out a loud shout, and the cyan and red alternating sword pillar on his head met the purple giant sword, slashing down fiercely. Suddenly, a deafening crash shook the sky, and everyone was startled by the sound. In mid-air, two beams of different colors and properties collided, producing an explosion in an instant. The colorful light of the explosion fell like a five-colored rainbow. The powerful purple light sword and the cyan and red alternating light pillar cancelled each other out, broke, rotated, and flew away. After a stalemate for a while, the purple light suddenly surged, breaking through Lu Yun's cyan and red alternating light pillar. This shocked the people of Yi Garden and delighted the disciples of the Sword Institute.

  In mid-air, Lu Yun suddenly appeared silently in front of Leng Jia Hao. In his shocked gaze, the Like Intent Sword instantly broke through his protective true energy shield and heavily struck his body. At the same time, Lu Yun's body moved like a shadow, and his legs shot out twenty-seven kicks in an instant, all hitting his body, causing Leng Jia Hao to spurt blood wildly and fall down. A mournful cry, like a sharp sword, pierced through the psychological defenses of countless people.

  All of this was too sudden, except for Yi Garden's Xuan Yu Zhen Ren, everyone else had a drastic change in expression. When everyone came to their senses, on the arena, Lu Yun stood unscathed and still, one meter off the ground, his sword flashing with red light as it quietly spun around. On the ground, Leng Jia Hao lay silently, his face deathly pale, fresh blood continuously flowing from his mouth. His entire body was completely still except for a slight rise and fall of his chest.

  The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Institute shouted loudly, each with a shocked and sorrowful expression. Liu Xinghun and Zhan Yu were both greatly changed in their expressions, coldly staring at Lu Yun in mid-air. Zhan Yu's body swayed, and he appeared beside Leng Jia Hao, hastily checking his injuries. Liu Xinghun, on the other hand, walked slowly to the center of the scene with a gloomy face.

  At this moment, three figures rushed over from a distance and landed lightly at the edge of the field, looking at the result. These three people were the victorious returnees, Jingyue Master, Zhang Aoxue, and Li Hongfei, who looked at the outcome in the arena with a mix of joy and surprise, seemingly not expecting such a result.

  Jingyue Master looked at Ziyang True Person and said softly, "I really didn't expect it, Lu Yun won so easily. Congratulations to you, Yang Garden finally produced a rare talent."

  Ziyang Zhenren's face was filled with surprise and joy, his mouth agape with excitement, as he humbly said: "Congratulations to us both, Ao Xue also achieved a great victory." At this moment, Ziyang Zhenren seemed a bit disorganized in his speech, unsure of what to say next.

  Looking at Lu Yun in mid-air, Ao Xue listened to Yun Feng's excited explanation with a hint of a calm smile on her face. Lu Yun glanced at Ao Xue and their eyes met, both revealing a hint of a knowing smile as they nodded slightly. Li Hongfei was shocked after hearing Yun Feng's explanation, staring at Lu Yun in disbelief. Like everyone else, he couldn't believe that Lu Yun had mastered the final move of Yi Yuan in just two years. How high had Lu Yun's cultivation reached? Why couldn't it be seen?

  Liu Xing's soul walked to the side of Xuanyu Zhenren, with an unnatural smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Congratulations, Brother Xuanyu, you have won this battle. I didn't expect that this time, the four disciples under your gate would be more powerful than one another, it's really a joyful thing. This time, the Six Institutes' Martial Arts Conference will probably be an easy win for Yiyuan."

  Xuan Yu Zhen Ren smiled calmly: "You're overpraising us, we won one and lost one, it's a draw. As for this martial arts gathering, as long as we can avoid being last, that's already fortunate enough. We don't dare think about anything else. Your esteemed school seems to have suffered quite a bit of damage this time, is everything alright? It's all because Lu Yun's skills are not refined, and he couldn't control himself, please forgive him. I won't bother you anymore, farewell." After finishing speaking, he left with the six people.

  On this side, Yun Feng pulled Lu Yun excitedly and couldn't describe it. He kept praising in his mouth. Yun Feng said: "Great, this time I finally got to vent my anger. Next time, if we meet that Zhan Yu, you'll beat him until he can't move, just like today's Leng Jia Hao. Then, let's see how he can be proud and arrogant. At that time, Tianjian Academy will definitely know our strength, so they won't be arrogant and domineering."

  Lu Yun looked at Yun Feng calmly, saying nothing, and followed everyone back to the cave. In the cave, Xuan Yu Zhenren showed a very happy expression, looking at the three disciples who had passed the test, and smiled: "This time, although Yun Feng was seriously injured and couldn't defeat Zhan Yu, we Yiyuan have three people entering the top twelve at the same time, which is a very exciting thing. Originally, based on the situation of the six institutes, this time should basically maintain two people per institute, but we suddenly have three people enter, so at least one of the other five institutes will only have one person left. This way, among the twelve people, our Yiyuan occupies one quarter, and the hope of entering the top six is relatively greater."

  Zi Yang Zhen Ren's face lit up with excitement as he said, "Tomorrow's battle is the most crucial. As long as you all give it your all, there will definitely be hope to break into the top six, come on! For the glory of Yi Garden, for your own prestige, work hard!"

  Master Jingyue looked at the delighted Xuan Yu and Zi Yang, and couldn't help but say in a low voice: "This time, we can have such achievements, of course, should be happy. But for now, it's not the most critical moment, the most critical battle, everyone knows, is tomorrow. Tomorrow's opponents will all be outstanding disciples with high cultivation, each one is the most outstanding talent from each institute, they all have exquisite cultivation and strong swordsmanship, whether we can rush into the top six tomorrow is still hard to say. This afternoon when I came back, I heard that Tianjian Institute's disciple said that Jian Wucheng won a complete victory with just four moves, while Fenghuang Book Institute's Cangyue defeated his opponent in just five moves. Compared to us, what is the gap? Everyone probably knows it in their hearts. So tomorrow's battle, we must bring out all our strength and fight hard."

  In the cave, a sense of quietness settled in, and everyone's happy smiles gradually faded away, replaced by a heavy atmosphere. Xuan Yu Zhen Ren glanced at several people, softly saying: "Don't think too much, just do your best, as long as you have no regrets in your heart, that's enough. Everyone is also tired, take a rest for now. Tonight I will go to discuss the matters of tomorrow's battle, and you will know the specific situation tonight." After finishing speaking, he left.

  Zi Yang Zhen Ren patted Lu Yun's shoulder, looking at him with encouraging eyes, and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, remember to work hard, I will be proud of you." The short words carried unspoken trust and expectation.

  Lu Yun looked at his master and nodded slightly: "Victory will definitely belong to me." Zi Yang Zhen Ren didn't say anything, just nodded and turned away.

  Behind, Yun Feng's voice came: "Tomorrow, you must work hard, remember to show your skills, let everyone know the strength of our Yi Garden. I will support you, I believe you will definitely win, come on, partners!" The three of them fixed their eyes on Yun Feng, and the four people's eyes showed a firm expression, silently blessing each other, floating between the four of them.

  What will be the outcome tomorrow?
