Chapter 468: Chapter 316: Evil Exorcism Sword Skill, Unrivaled Under the Heavens! [Vote for Monthly Pass!]_2
Ban Xianfu finally takes it seriously this time.
His voice is loud, finally resembling a thunderous roar—
"Ho!"
"Lion Roar Technique!"
What a Ban Xianfu!
He actually knows the Lion Roar Technique as well!
With a single roar, the voice is like a thunderclap, shocking the mind, intimidating Inner Strength; this, this, this, is clearly the level of ’Absolute’ in the absolute skill Lion Roar!
"So it was you!"
Yan Chuan’s pupils trembled; he had been receiving feedback about ’Sound Wave Skill’ and ’Lion Roar Technique’ when he used "Lion Roar" during martial arts lectures. Gradually growing in strength, he eventually pushed his "Lion Roar" into the Sixth Realm, some of the feedback being pure yet fierce and unified. Yan Chuan could only confirm it came from the same person but couldn’t ascertain where it originated from, thinking it might be among Heavenly Masters. It wasn’t until this time that he realized Ban Xianfu was also well-versed in this skill.
At this moment, Ban Xianfu performed the Lion Roar, opening his mouth to emit a powerful sound wave mixed with inner strength, intending to disperse all of Fu Yunzhan’s Inner Strength and Inner Energy, and muscle and bone, all at once, rendering him immobile on the spot.
"Kill!"
Then Ban Xianfu used his hand as a blade, lunging forward, hand blade forming an arc, striking towards Fu Yunzhan’s ribs.
If Fu Yunzhan was held in place by Ban Xianfu’s roar even for a moment, this slash would further disintegrate his Inner Strength, leaving him as helpless as fish on a chopping board, ready for Fu Yunzhan to butcher.
"Wake up!"
Thankfully, Yan Chuan had "Lion Roar" in his mouth, spraying it to awaken Fu Yunzhan in time.
"Clang!"
Fu Yunzhan, initially stunned, didn’t even think as he drew his sword fast as lightning, counter-piercing to Ban Xianfu’s chest. This strike, though coming after, arrived first, precise and ruthless, not only blocking Ban Xianfu’s hand blade offensive but also reversing to target Ban Xianfu’s vital point.
"Ha!"
Ban Xianfu let out another great roar, his body sprang backward. However, in this advance and retreat, his chest attire was already torn with a large gap, revealing spots of blood on his chest.
"What a great sword!"
Yan Chuan laughed heartily.
If Fu Yunzhan’s sword were just a bit faster, if it moved two more inches forward, Ban Xianfu’s belly would have been cut open.
"Hiss!"
The onlookers all gasped in shock at the sight!
Ban Xianfu!
He is a character renowned as Absolute!
Even though without the ’Avici Blade’ in hand, Ban Xianfu’s strength was greatly reduced, falling from Absolute, yet he still possessed peak combat power. Yet such a figure, such a master, was almost slain by a nameless nobody like Fu Yunzhan?
Unbelievable!
Tan Dou had just fallen off the stage; he was spectating with crossed arms, witnessing Fu Yunzhan challenge Cao Zhenhai then corner Ban Xianfu with these two swords, his face full of horror.
Fu Yunzhan’s swordsmanship epitomizes ’fast’!
Fast to the extreme!
Thus labeled as eerie!
This is different from Yan Chuan’s swordsmanship; comparatively, Yan Chuan’s sword style frustrates and leaves people powerless, while Fu Yunzhan’s swordsmanship frightens and terrifies, shaking souls and capturing spirits!
In simple terms—
Fu Yunzhan’s sword!
Is scarier!
Ban Xianfu was caught off guard, never expecting such fast and fierce swordsmanship to exist in the world, almost fell victim to it. Though he escaped death this time, Ban Xianfu’s ferocity was unmatched; instead of feeling any fear, Fu Yunzhan’s sword only incited boundless ferocity and killing intent within him.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
He roared again and again, each roar a powerful and unmatched Lion Roar Technique, infused with the grand killing intent of the "Avici Saber Technique," practically capable of roaring those with weak resolve in Limit-breaking to death.
"Yunzhan!"
Yan Chuan knew Fu Yunzhan’s weakness, knew that although his swordsmanship had improved greatly, it still struggled against Ban Xianfu’s Lion Roar Technique, hence continuously breaking the Lion Roar Technique to alert Fu Yunzhan.
Ban Xianfu didn’t care whether the Lion Roar Technique worked or not; as he continued to roar, he lunged at Fu Yunzhan with his hand as a blade once more.
"Ban Xianfu!"
"So that’s all you’ve got!"
Fu Yunzhan stabbed twice, clashing sounds echoed, both blocked by Ban Xianfu’s hand blade formed with Inner Strength concentrated in his palms.
The hand blade was hard as iron!
Not the slightest bit inferior to a weapon!
"Hmph!" Fu Yunzhan sneered, his moves growing faster. Ban Xianfu lunged up and down, using both hands as blades, wielding the "Avici Saber Technique" imperviously, using Inner Strength, Gang Qi to completely enshroud his entire body.
Clang, clang, clang!
Fu Yunzhan’s sword was as fast as a meteor; although he held a sharp blade in hand, when colliding with Ban Xianfu’s palm blade, he only felt a wave of soreness in his arm, his tiger’s mouth faintly ached.
Clearly!
This is because his cultivation is insufficient.
Ban Xianfu, as a character renowned as absolute, even without the ’Avici Blade,’ still wields genuine peak cultivation—
Postnatal Peak!
Peak of Limit-breaking!
His Inner Strength far surpasses Fu Yunzhan.
Although Fu Yunzhan’s sword was swift, its power was lacking, requiring caution, for the moment his sword is flung by Ban Xianfu, he will lose instantly.
With this concern, Fu Yunzhan dared not to overestimate himself, refraining from frequent attacks and collisions, having to be more cautious and attack swiftly only when Ban Xianfu’s defenses revealed an opening.
Ban Xianfu spun his two palm blades imperviously, rarely revealing even a tiny gap. Waiting for Fu Yunzhan to attack, he immediately closed the gap, forcibly meeting Fu Yunzhan’s sword with a powerful clash, though Fu Yunzhan had precautions, gripping his sword tightly. Yet this collision, Inner Strength, and Inner Energy clashing created a massive burden on Fu Yunzhan’s sword itself. Under the rules of this current round of Four-Nine, the sword continuously eroded, especially accelerating during clashes.
Ban Xianfu!
Hard defense!
This was his real strategy!
Knowing full well that Fu Yunzhan’s fast sword is unmatched, knowing that it was challenging to suppress without a weapon, he devised this delay tactic.
This style of play!
Without the Four-Nine rules, even if Ban Xianfu’s cultivation were higher with more ample Inner Strength, Fu Yunzhan would still stand undefeated, for Ban Xianfu, continuing on like this, would eventually exhaust his Inner Strength, inevitably being slain by Fu Yunzhan’s sword.
But now things are different.
Under the rules!
Sharp sword cannot last long!
Ban Xianfu doesn’t need to do anything; just wait for Fu Yunzhan’s sword to corrode and break, naturally dismantling this unsolvable fast sword style.
Yet Ban Xianfu is still Ban Xianfu!
He has a strategy!
But he occasionally can’t resist counterattacking, wanting to prove himself, or refusing to yield to Fu Yunzhan’s swordsmanship.
But many onlookers could see, just as Ban Xianfu showed intentions to counterattack, his two palm blades’ defensive scope would reveal a gap, Fu Yunzhan’s eyes like an eagle, would seize through with a fast sword strike, leaving Ban Xianfu unable to resist.
The reason Ban Xianfu can still stand is solely due to dominating with cultivation!
He executed his palms swiftly, each move made with utmost effort, ensuring each subsequent move flowed seamlessly, forwarding force with back force.
Postnatal Peak!
Peak of Limit-breaking!
Ban Xianfu long pioneered the Dan Tian Qi Sea, with endless Inner Strength and Inner Energy!
In this defensive saber net formed by two palm blades, Ban Xianfu also roared incessantly, rising and falling, the roar and flesh blade net complement each other, massive Inner Strength, and awe-inspiring might.
"Hmph!"
Fu Yunzhan attempted several times to break through Ban Xianfu’s defenses, sending his sword straight in, only to be blocked each time, the clash of roar and Inner Energy booming, surging within him.
The sword in hand let out a wail!
Hard, hard, hard!
The stalemate!
But the deadlock won’t last long; the situation at this moment greatly favors Ban Xianfu!
However, Fu Yunzhan’s swordsmanship labeled as ferocious, forcing a renowned character like Ban Xianfu to employ a strategy relying on oppressive tactics, is enough for pride, enough to gain fame, enough to astonish the world.
Ban Xianfu’s defense-only approach, his clear strategy of stalling until Fu Yunzhan’s sword eventually breaks.
But his allies didn’t know.
The "Chufeng," Thirty-third, ’Infiltrate Everywhere’ Xiao Zhi, admired Yan Chuan yet had a good relationship with Cao Zhenhai. Seeing Cao Zhenhai gravely injured by Fu Yunzhan’s stab, and Ban Xianfu only defending with hidden dangers arising, Ban Xianfu’s dual palm blade defensive radius shrinking repetitively, clearly showing difficulty in defense, whether in Inner Strength or moves.
Concern leads to confusion.
Xiao Zhi stood on stage, unable to conceive of Ban Xianfu’s strategy, unable to fathom why they weren’t using weapons while Fu Yunzhan was, and unaware that Fu Yunzhan’s sword would break within dozens to a hundred moves.
At this moment, she solely wanted to help Ban Xianfu, to bring down Fu Yunzhan!
