Chapter 279: Exciting Contest
"Boom!"
A loud noise.
Xu Nian's palm and Xia Zhengfeng's fist collided.
Creating a terrifying impact.
Both were repelled by the rebounding force.
Xia Zhengfeng staggered back ten steps before he could dissipate the force from his body.
His face filled with surprise as he looked at Xu Nian.
"Peak of Four-star General?" Xia Zhengfeng said in shock.
The youth in front of him was actually a Four-star General in cultivation.
How old was he?
And this fellow with the cultivation of a Four-star General Level.
Could actually withstand his punch without falling behind?
Chen Wudi and the others in the distance also showed surprise.
They didn't expect Xu Nian to truly possess the strength to battle a Peak Powerhouse.
It had only been two short months since they last saw him.
Xu Nian's growth rate was still terrifying.
Xu Nian also took more than ten steps back, his lips curling into a slight smile.
"Isn't it shocking? I said before, even if you are a prince of the Tianhen Empire, there's nothing in front of me worth boasting about," Xu Nian said with a cold laugh.
Xia Zhengfeng squinted his eyes and snorted.
"Your arrogance is too premature. That punch was just fifty percent of my strength, and it would still be easy for this prince to kill you," Xia Zhengfeng said disdainfully, his eyes filling with pride again.
So what if you are a genius.
When faced with absolute power, all you have is a fall.
"Is that so? Then try to kill me and we'll see who dies," Xu Nian coldly retorted.
Green Lotus of Dan Sea spun rapidly, causing his spiritual energy to surge.
It was still the Luotian Palm, but its power was much greater than before.
A palm strike was launched, forming a massive spiritual energy phantom.
It ferociously suppressed Xia Zhengfeng.
"Seeking death!" Xia Zhengfeng sneered.
He clenched his fist, and Thunderclap Power surged instantly.
However, after Xia Zhengfeng threw his punch, he felt something was wrong.
Indeed, his fist simply passed through Xu Nian's body.
"Not good, it's an afterimage!"
Xia Zhengfeng's pupils shrank, his gaze becoming sharp instantly.
"Die!"
Indeed, just as Xia Zhengfeng realized something was amiss,
A figure suddenly appeared on his left side.
Then, an extreme radiance targeted his brow.
A Sword Point aimed directly at Xia Zhengfeng's forehead.
The Sword Qi at the fingertip was extraordinarily sharp, enough to penetrate a skull.
"Humph, you think you can kill me? You underestimate me too much."
Xia Zhengfeng snorted coldly, a cold smile reappearing on his lips.
A brilliant light burst from his eyes, transforming into a sharp sword that collided directly with Xu Nian's Finger Sword.
The Sword Qi exploded.
Xu Nian retreated again and again.
"Thinking of escaping? Dream on!"
Xia Zhengfeng snorted coldly, instantly turning into a bolt of lightning to pursue.
"So fast!"
Xu Nian was startled and quickly channeled his spiritual energy to form a Defensive Light Shield.
"Boom!"
A Thunderclap Iron Fist instantly pierced through his Defensive Light Shield, hitting him squarely in the chest.
The power of the Thunderclap exploded.
Xu Nian's figure was immediately sent flying backward.
His feet dragged a long mark on the ground.
He slid several dozen meters before stopping.
A trail of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Xia Zhengfeng stood proudly, his gaze dominating.
"Hmph, now you realize how formidable this prince is, I could kill you effortlessly." Xia Zhengfeng sneered as he looked at the blood trickling from the corner of Xu Nian's mouth.
Chen Wudi and the others, upon seeing this, also showed worried expressions.
Xu Nian was ultimately not a match for Xia Zhengfeng.
However, Xu Nian stood straight up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and a self-mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"It seems I still underestimated you, being a prince, you are indeed much stronger than those ordinary geniuses," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Xia Zhengfeng snorted disdainfully, unimpressed by Xu Nian's praise.
"However, your strength is ultimately just this, and in Spirit Cultivator combat, I am least skilled at hand-to-hand. If this is all your strength, then I'm afraid this battle is over already," Xu Nian took a step forward.
Instantly, a surge of Sword Qi shot into the sky.
The surrounding air and clouds were stirred, and a tide of wind began to surge.
The Black God Sword appeared directly in Xu Nian's hand.
"Haha, competing with me in swordsmanship is asking for punishment. I didn't want to draw my sword and kill you initially, but since you seek death, this prince will grant your wish," Xia Zhengfeng laughed heartily.
After speaking, a sharp sword appeared in his hand, followed by a powerful aura emitting from his body.
Sword Force?
Xia Zhengfeng had actually reached the Realm of Sword Force?
Xu Nian was also taken aback; this was his first time encountering an opponent who had grasped Sword Force.
"Haha, are you surprised? Sword Force, that's the true utility of swordsmanship. You probably don't even know what Sword Force is, and you want to compete with me in swordsmanship?" Xia Zhengfeng sneered disdainfully.
He considered himself unmatched in swordsmanship among his peers.
And this young man had the audacity to challenge him in a sword duel.
Wasn't this courting death?
From a distance, Chen Wudi and the others' expressions grew solemn.
They had still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that Xu Nian, who had grasped Sword Force, might be able to completely overpower Xia Zhengfeng.
But now they realized that Xia Zhengfeng had also stepped into the Realm of Sword Force.
Didn't that mean Xu Nian had no chance of winning?
Although Xu Nian was somewhat surprised, he quickly smiled.
Xia Zhengfeng might have entered the Realm of Sword Force, but it was clear he had only just entered.
Compared to him, who had already stepped into the Second Level of Sword Force in the Realm of Transformation Force, there was still a significant gap.
"The words you just said to me, I now return them to you unchanged. Your arrogance is a bit premature," Xu Nian said with a slight smile.
Then his gaze became piercing, and a powerful Sword Force radiated from his body.
Sword Force surged.
The surrounding winds seemed to transform into endless Sword Qi.
They began to scatter everywhere.
The Sword Force that Xia Zhengfeng had just gathered crumbled instantly under the surge of Xu Nian's powerful Sword Force.
"What? How... how is this possible?" Xia Zhengfeng said with a horrified expression.
The young man before him had also entered the Realm of Sword Force, and his level was even higher?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Xia Zhengfeng said in utter disbelief.
Comprehending realms had always been his pride.
Yet now, under the surging Sword Force of Xu Nian, it completely fell apart.
Watching this scene, Chen Tiansheng also showed a highly shocked expression.
Unbelievingly staring at Xu Nian surrounded by the Sword Force.
Second Level of Sword Force, the Realm of Transformation Force.
How long had he been in the Realm of Sword Force to step into the second level?
Two months!
Now, think about himself.
It had taken him a full five years to move from the first level to the second.
This caused a strong feeling of defeat to emerge in Chen Tiansheng's heart.
"Receive my sword strike! One Sleeve Azure Dragon!"
Xu Nian ignored the shocked gazes of the crowd and swung the Black God Sword in his hand.
The sword light flickered.
A spectral Azure Dragon tore forth from the sword edge, roaring toward Xia Zhengfeng. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
Xia Zhengfeng, watching the roaring Azure Dragon Sword Qi, instantly turned pale.
He hurriedly swung his sword to block.
However, his Sword Qi did nothing to hinder the Azure Dragon Sword Qi.
It was torn apart by Xu Nian's Azure Dragon Sword Qi.
Then Xia Zhengfeng was completely engulfed by the powerful Azure Dragon Sword Qi.
"Did we win?"
Chen Wudi and the others all widened their eyes, watching Xia Zhengfeng wrapped in the Azure Dragon Sword Qi.
