Chapter 144 Enlightenment

Fang Xun didn't know that his boss was extremely angry because of him, and he saw him swinging his sword and performing the Green Dragon Hand move.

The tip of the sword 'Listening to the Spring Rain in a Small Building One Night' glowed with green light and stabbed at the oncoming giant sword, just like a green dragon extending its claws directly pointing at Jian Wuyi's face inside the transparent giant sword.

Although the two sides had agreed beforehand that it would be a friendly exchange and there would be no life or death fight.

But when the fight really reached its climax, both of them became excited. After their minds were concentrated to the limit, they felt an unprecedented activity in their Niwan Palace.

It was as if one of his feet had already stepped into the state of enlightenment, and with a little more effort the other foot would be able to step over immediately.

Although both sides still had some last-ditch killer moves that they had yet to use, they were no longer holding back.

boom--

In mid-air, the Azure Dragon and the giant sword collided for an instant, and both sides shattered into countless energy and sword energy that flew everywhere, turning the space of twenty feet in radius into a mess.

After the two 'turtle shells' were broken, Fang Xun and Jian Wuyi's bodies were exposed to the air again.

There was a fighting spirit in the eyes of both men, and they engaged in close combat once again.

-

There was another fierce cry.

Everyone seemed to see a red bird flying across the sky, and a calamity fire from the sky swept across the world, but what was coming towards them was a calamity cloud composed of gray-white sword energy filled with calamity.

After fighting for a while, the two of them gained some understanding of the "Sword of Life and Death". When they fought, they couldn't help but add some of their own insights into the moves.

For a moment, the onlookers felt that a catastrophe was approaching, and the aura of death and destruction rose up.

The weather energy in the surrounding space also began to riot slightly. Everyone saw the gray and red lights crisscrossing each other, and the leaked energy spread over a larger and larger range.

As time went by, torn sword marks began to appear on the clothes of the two men.

But the sword energy only made a crisp tinkling sound when it hit the two of them, and neither of them was hurt at all, leaving only a trace of white marks.

Fang Xun has the "Tian Gang Tong Zi Gong" and "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" to protect himself, his body is as strong as iron and is not afraid of swords and knives.

Jian Wuyi has been honing his sword for eight years, and his physique has been tempered to be extremely strong. He also has endless sword energy that can break out of his body to protect himself and crush any attack that is intended to harm him.

The fight between the two became more and more intense, but both of them complained in their hearts that the other was a coward.

Even the Feixue Sword inserted in the sword platform began to tremble violently, as if it would fly out automatically in the next moment.

After seeing this, the other swordsmen couldn't help but reveal envy.

Every move and every gesture fascinated the onlookers, and some couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This is a true genius. Becoming a master of divine will is a natural chasm for others, but for them, it is just a matter of time."

"Yes, with these two people as examples, Feixue Sword can only choose one of them as its master. No matter how hard others try, they will have no chance."

Even Xiao Qianfeng, who was standing far away and had always disliked Fang Xun, was dazed for a moment, feeling that his previous self was so childish and ridiculous.

He was promoted to Xiantian five years ago, but he did not continue to make rapid progress and strive for Tongqiao, otherwise he would have succeeded within a year.

It was because he always wanted to prove that he was not weaker than Jian Wuyi. Until Jian Wuyi was promoted and enlightened, he was unwilling to be promoted either. This was because he wanted to defeat the opponent head-on and prove that he was not weaker than others.

Although he is fourth on the Dragon and Phoenix List, his strength is actually not weaker than the second and third. He is only ranked fourth because of his slightly worse record.

As for Jian Wuyi, who has always been ranked first, Xiao Qianfeng really has no temper.

But now seeing Jian Wuyi truly bursting out with all his strength, he couldn't help but feel a little dejected. He had no confidence that he could reach such strength in the Tongmai Realm unless he was promoted to the Kaiqiao Realm.

Xiao Qianfeng couldn't help but doubt whether it was worth it for him to suppress his realm and deliberately not break through for Jian Wuyi for the past five years. He couldn't help but feel a little dejected.

'It turns out that you have never had me in your eyes. This is your true strength.'

In the crowd, Yu Jiaolong and the other two were speechless. Where was the Demon Sword Killer Sword?
We've taken off our pants, and you're showing me the Yin-Yang Four-Shape Hand?!

After being silent for a long while, the old man quickly calmed down and his expression became playful.

"Although Fang Xun's current swordsmanship is full of murderous intent, it is not the same as the killing sword of the ghost-faced man. It is obtained from the "Sword of Life and Death" in the Divine Sword Lake.

Even his "Yin Yang Four-Shape Hand" was not a sword technique at all. Fang Xun just used it with the help of the sword.

Niece Yu, do you still suspect that he is the Ghost-Faced Man? "

Yu Jiaolong looked depressed, but still spoke unconvinced.

"This guy can't be viewed with common sense. His sword and knife skills are superb, so it's fine. But he was able to use the "Four Forms Free Hands" which is just a bit impressive as a basis, blend hundreds of superior fist and kick skills, and innovate to create a "Yin Yang Four Forms Hands".

This shows that his palm, finger and boxing techniques are not inferior to swords and knives in any way. I really don't know how this guy practiced his skills.

This kind of talent must still be retained now!"

The old man smiled jokingly and said, "How about it, niece, don't you want to consider it?

If your father knew about this outstanding young man, he would definitely force you two back to the Prince of Yue's Palace and make things a done deal before doing anything else."

Jade Dragon was furious when he heard this and yelled, "Get lost! You old and disrespectful thing!"

The middle-aged woman ignored the conversation between the two people. She just watched the exciting interaction between them with relish. Suddenly she spoke something.

"They're almost there!"

Yu Jiaolong and the old man immediately turned their attention back and stared intently at Fang Xun and Jian Wuyi.

Ding ding ding ding——

Amid a series of crisp collision sounds, the momentum of the two men continued to rise, and the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth also began to riot.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, as if breaking through the unknown limit, and the two sides stood apart in an instant.

Everyone outside the field was stunned for a moment, but soon they felt that the vitality of heaven and earth around them suddenly became more active than ever before.

A storm arose, sweeping towards the two of them like a tidal wave.

It was as if two black holes appeared in the field, madly sucking in the incoming vital energy of heaven and earth, but the aura of the two men calmed down instead.

They didn’t know if it was an illusion, especially for the disciples from the Divine Sword Lake. They saw that Jian Wuyi, who had been with them day and night, had a gradually gentler expression.

Fang Xun had a look of neither joy nor sadness on his face. The void around him emanated inexplicable fluctuations. A large amount of heaven and earth energy condensed, and it looked foggy, like rising water vapor.

At this moment, he only felt that a mysterious inspiration was finally formed between his eyebrows and flowed into the Niwan Palace, and his thoughts were instantly connected with the Zhoutian Yuan Qi.

With just a thought in his mind, infinite vitality of heaven and earth poured down and was absorbed by him to refine the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. The efficiency was at least five times higher than when the meridians were opened. This was the power that could only be achieved when the orifices were opened.

The entire breakthrough process came and went quickly. In less than a cup of tea, Fang Xun opened his eyes, his pupils as warm as water.

Looking up, he saw Jian Wuyi also opened his eyes.

After the breakthrough, he looked ordinary again. His eyes were no longer sharp and his face was much softer.

But Fang Xun knew that the opponent's edge had simply been completely restrained, just like a sword returning to its sheath. Not only did the edge not weaken, but it became even stronger.

"Thank you, you saved me at least a year of hard work."

The first thing Jian Wuyi said was thank you.

Fang Xun just smiled faintly and said, "No need to do that, I also got a lot of benefits from you."

"The promised method of awakening the mind will be delivered to you today."

While Fang Xun was communicating with Jian Wuyi, he also devoted part of his mind to the martial arts hall.

Sure enough, he saw the first name appear on the third door representing the state of awakening.

[Yao Yue, awakened, from "The Twins", to be defeated]

Just as he was checking out the martial arts hall, all eyes outside the sword stage were focused on him and Jian Wuyi.

In addition to the three hidden Jade Dragons, there were two other cold gazes that also never left the two of them for a moment.

After seeing Fang Xun and Jian Wuyi open their eyes, they began to communicate with each other.

"According to the time, no one has stepped into the Sword Retention Stage for nearly a quarter of an hour. We have also secretly checked the nearly three thousand people outside the venue one by one, and no one is hiding their strength."

"You are right. Aside from the possibility that the Ghost-Faced Man has already left the Sword Grinding Peak, he should have entered the Sword Retention Platform a long time ago. I have observed everyone, and except for Fang Xun and Jian Wuyi, the others showed no signs of hiding their strength."

"That is to say, these two are the most suspicious, but Fang Xun only reached the post-natal realm more than three months ago, so he can't possibly be the Ghost Face Man!"

"It's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. He is not one of ours anyway."

"In that case, let's get started!"
