Hidden Blade

Chapter 169 Again

Purple Firmament Realm.

The fourth level of the Physical Body Realm.

At Xu Han's age, being able to cultivate to the Fourth Realm, such as Fang Ziyu and Ye Hongjian, could be considered a peerless genius.

The difference between physical cultivation and internal cultivation was that the effects of the so-called innate bone frame and physical body cultivation were negligible. To reach this level at such a young age, apart from the nourishment of some external medicines, it would take countless efforts and hardships to achieve it.

In other words, Xu Han's efforts to reach the Violet Firmament Realm would definitely be a hundred or even a thousand times greater than those of the geniuses at the Fourth Realm, the Netherpassage Realm.

Looking at the purple light around the youth, everyone present couldn't help but secretly exclaim in admiration. This Xu Han's position as the young master of the Tian Ce Mansion was truly outstanding.

Zhu Longqi frowned at that moment. He never thought that Xu Han would have such a cultivation. No wonder he dared to accept this fight.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, a sinister smile appeared on Zhu Longqi's face once again.

How was the Violet Firmament Realm?

At this realm, the oppressive power of the fleshly body cultivators towards ordinary cultivators completely disappeared. On the contrary, the offensive and defensive momentum was easy to change. In this realm, it was the world of the inner palace Qi Condensation cultivators!

"You're much stronger than I thought." He stared at Xu Han with his calm eyes and said this. Then, he stepped forward, one pressing forward and the other retreating. He tilted his body and held the hilt of the saber with both hands. He raised the saber at his shoulders and pointed it straight at Xu Han. A black saber intent immediately spread out from his palm and wrapped around his saber like a poisonous snake and flood dragon.

A murderous aura immediately spread out. At that time, the temperature in the hall seemed to have dropped a little.

"Unfortunately, you are still no match for me with just the Violet Firmament Realm." He said regretfully, but his tone was full of ridicule.

..

Xu Han stared at Zhu Longqi, whose aura was constantly rising, with a solemn expression in his eyes.

He knew very well in his heart that Zhu Longqi's words were not wrong. He was no match for Zhu Longqi with his Purple Firmament Realm fleshly body cultivation alone. The two battles he had fought earlier proved this very well. Whether it was the true essence of a Nether Opening Realm cultivator or the saber intent cultivated by a genius of the Saber Dao, it was not something that Xu Hanguang could break with his physical body.

The power that the physical body could stimulate was similar to the true energy released by ordinary cultivators in the first three realms. It was just a pure force. The difference was only in size and strength.

However, true essence and saber intent were a higher level of power, and they were almost essentially different from the former two.

Is a transformation from quantitative to qualitative.

It was not impossible for a cultivator in the Physical Body Realm to be able to contend against such a higher level of power with pure strength. For example, the secret sect of the Great Xia Dragon Hidden Temple was a group of cultivators who only cultivated their physical bodies. However, it was not something that a mere Violet Firmament Realm cultivator could achieve.

Therefore, it was almost impossible to use the Violet Firmament Realm to fight against the Netherpassage Realm. This was a universally acknowledged principle in this world.

Even Xu Han was unable to come up with such a theory.

Xu Han knew that the reason why he was able to take down Lang Chaosha, who was also in the Netherpassage Realm, was because he didn't plan to act brazenly. If the two of them really acted like Zhu Longqi before him, Xu Han would definitely not be Lang Chaosha's opponent. Not to mention this young master Zhu, who was countless times stronger than Lang Chaosha.

As Xu Han thought about this, Zhu Longqi had already condensed his saber intent.

At that time, Zhu Longqi's eyes turned cold and his body flew out.

His speed was extremely fast, and his movements were like thunder. Wherever he went, afterimages accompanied him, like wolves walking in the wilderness. Wherever his saber went, a saber intent spread out like a tiger howling in the forest.

Xu Han frowned. He could clearly feel that the might contained in Zhu Longqi's saber was far greater than the previous two sabers. He did not dare to hold it up. At that time, the light in his eyes sank and he subconsciously placed the sword across his chest to block it.

However, when he put on this posture, he was slightly stunned. It was as if he had thought of something. Then, he gritted his teeth and turned his defense into an attack. He stabbed the sword in his hand straight towards Zhu Longqi's powerful saber.

Qi circulated in his body, and 365 aperture true qi gushed out like a tidal wave, gathering at the tip of his sword in a spiral manner.

At that moment, the wrist of the sword-wielding hand also turned, and the energy gathered around the wrist, penetrating through the sword and reaching straight for the edge of the sword.

This was the Mountain Destroying Sword Technique.

Although it was only a low-grade sword technique, it was extremely compatible with Xu Han's sword dao. He was different from ordinary sword techniques. He only focused on sword moves and the activation of true energy, and even added a physical method of exerting strength to it. To those swordsmen who only cultivated Internal Strength, this method was equivalent to a chicken rib, but to Xu Han, it was a sacred object that added flowers to the brocade.

Xu Han's temper was already very fierce. If he resisted with all his might and relied on his powerful physical body cultivation, even Zhu Longqi would have to cripple him if he wanted to take it down. However, if he did so, he would fall into a passive situation. It was only a matter of time before he lost. How could Xu Han be willing to give up?

Therefore, he chose to face off head-on in order to find a chance to win.

..

Bang!

With a light sound, the two swords collided with each other again.

A strong wind exploded. As expected, Xu Han's body retreated a few feet again, and his appearance was not in a sorry state.

"You're courting death!" Zhu Longqi was initially a little surprised by Xu Han's failure to defend against the counterattack. He was afraid that this brat would have anything to do with him. However, after the two of them clashed, he discovered that there was nothing special about Xu Han except that his strength was a little stronger and his zhenqi was a little more rounded. He only thought that this was Xu Han's dying struggle, and the trace of unease in his heart also dissipated.

The huge gap between the two fell into the eyes of the crowd. Sikong Bai and Gongsun Ming both sneered.

Fang Ziyu and Mister Lu frowned, obviously worried.

Only the red-clothed woman on the high platform had a smile on her face.

Zhu Longqi glanced back and thought that Ye Hongjian was attracted by his valiant and heroic bearing, and his heart was filled with pride.

"Little brat, admitting defeat now can save you some skin and flesh pain." Zhu Longqi said coldly. The saber in his hand was once again raised high by him.

However, in the face of his provocation, Xu Han, who had barely managed to stand still, did not seem to have heard of it.

He lowered his head and looked at his hands, his brows knitted together, as if he had fallen into some kind of trouble.

However, Zhu Long ignored him and thought that the other party was pretending to look down on him.

He pulled out his saber and charged towards Xu Han again.

At this moment, Xu Han sensed the saber intent getting closer and closer, and as if he had just woken up from a dream, he hurriedly raised his head and raised his sword to welcome it.

Strangely, even in such a panicked situation, Xu Han still chose to attack instead of defend. Because of the lack of preparation, Xu Han's sword move this time was obviously far inferior to the previous one.

Inevitably, the moment he clashed with Zhu Longqi, he retreated several zhang more and more awkwardly. His body almost fell to the ground, and a trace of blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.

"Brat, don't you admit defeat?" Zhu Longqi's victory in one move was even more triumphant, he said coldly, narrowing his eyes at that moment.

He didn't want Xu Han to surrender. He wanted to torture Xu Han more, or even seriously injure him. Such an inquiry was just a provocation.

At this moment, Xu Han slowly raised his head. He reached out to wipe off the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhu Longqi. A genuine smile actually appeared on his face.

"Again," he said.

This time, he actually didn't wait for Zhu Longqi to attack, instead, he took the lead in launching the attack!
