From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"Let\'s see where you can retreat to now!"

Xia Fu Lan\'s blade was only about five meters away from Fang Ren\'s shoulder—it could slash down in the blink of an eye. However, as Fang Ren kept retreating, she would at least have to increase her True Qi output again anyway. Her speed was faster than Fang Ren\'s, and no matter how much he retreated, he was still bound to be hit by her strike!

Moreover, Fang Ren was almost retreating to the edge of the arena. The Empty Ming Blade behind him would collide with the protective formation set up by the president of the association. By then, he would have nowhere to escape.

And she, Xia Fu Lan, would certainly slice off one of Fang Ren\'s arms!

"Princess Fulan, didn\'t your father teach you that the sharper the sword, the easier it breaks?" Fang Ren spoke.

"Hmph! Let\'s see how arrogant you can be after your arm is cut off!" Xia Fu Lan pressed harder with her sword.

Fang Ren\'s mouth curved into a smirk. Xia Fu Lan was immersed in the attack she believed would strike him. Her body was full of openings; she hadn\'t anticipated how to defend herself after he blocked this strike.

Bang!

Fang Ren grasped the Kongming Giant Blade that had formed behind him, the silver glow in his eyes erupted, the veins on his arms bulged, and the red aura on his body grew even hotter.

"Storm Air Slash!"

Hum—

In an instant, Fang Ren was seen pulling a fifty-meter-long giant Empty Ming Sword with both hands, slashing at Xia Fu Lan\'s incoming blade from both sides.

Bang bang bang bang—

A series of sparks exploded in the air, with the Empty Ming Sword blade continuously striking at a high speed against Xia Fu Lan\'s blade, weakening the force on her blade with rapid multiple impacts.

Bang bang bang—

With rapid, successive attacks blocking her, Xia Fu Lan\'s blue glowing sword blade was astonishingly halted mid-air, three meters away from Fang Ren\'s arm, forcefully prevented from advancing any further!

"What cultivation technique is this!?"

Xia Fu Lan gripped her blade tightly, only to find that no matter how she pressed it down, Fang Ren would strike it back up!

Hovering three meters away from Fang Ren, no matter what she tried, she couldn\'t move it a single bit further!

At this moment, the air was cut into shapes by Fang Ren\'s strikes, resembling the Blade Storm he used at the beginning of the fight, but this Blade Storm was much larger than the one at the start—it shot straight up into the sky!

Crack crack—

Suddenly, the two Empty Ming Blades in Fang Ren\'s hands shattered, and Xia Fu Lan was immediately overjoyed, ready to press forward.

But before she could rejoice, she saw Fang Ren directly pull out four Kongming Giant Blades from behind! Holding two in each hand, he started furiously hacking at her blue blade again!

All of Fang Ren\'s movements became phantoms. She couldn\'t see at all how he was swinging the swords—she could only feel the vibrations in her arms, nearly losing her grip on her own sword!

"What! What the hell kind of sword technique is this!"

"It\'s too wild! Dozens of strikes in one second! You can\'t even see the person!"

"Damn! Two hands controlling four swords, each over fifty meters! How can he slash them so quickly? Is this some kind of cheat?"

"This is the Peak of Azure Sky? No way, this explosive power would require at least the strength of the Yingyue Realm to sustain!"

Xia Fu Lan panicked completely. She immediately wanted to change her attack, but she found that her blade was chopped to the point where it couldn\'t move at all, unless she withdrew it.

But if she withdrew it, she wouldn\'t have enough speed to block Fang Ren\'s fierce assault. In a moment of desperation, she had to pour all her True Qi into this one strike.

Crack crack crack crack—

The four giant swords in Fang Ren\'s hands exploded once again.

But in the blink of an eye, Fang Ren directly pulled out six giant swords from behind with no pause, and the attack rained down like a torrential downpour.

Bang bang bang bang bang—

Huge noises continuously assaulted everyone\'s eardrums. Even behind the shield, they could still feel how fast and terrifying Fang Ren\'s sword strikes were!

Each strike lifted the ground into the sky, sending sparks all the way to the entrance of the venue!

This was the strength of the Peak of Azure Sky? Impossible! Such an attack, even if placed on someone at the Peak of Yingyue Realm, might be something that a Peak Yingyue Realm practitioner would struggle to withstand!

Crack—

Suddenly there was another sound of shattering!

But this time, it wasn\'t Fang Ren\'s sword blades that broke—it was Xia Fu Lan\'s blue blade! It snapped, chopped to pieces by Fang Ren\'s multiple attacks!

"Heaven Slicer Technique!"

Fang Ren roared as he lifted the six giant swords overhead and charged at Xia Fu Lan in the air.

Seeing this, Xia Fu Lan\'s heart reached a peak of panic.

"Sword Shield!"

"Samsara Sword Technique!"

She hastily formed a Sword Shield and pulled back the broken blue blade in front of her, spinning it rapidly in a circular motion, turning it into a blue vortex.

Thud thud thud thud—

Fang Ren launched another fierce attack on her dual-layer defense, pushing Xia Fu Lan back continuously through the sky, relentlessly driving his massive sword forward with slashing movements.

Crack crack crack—

Once again, a series of sword blade breaks echoed, and Xia Fu Lan seemed to have found Fang Ren\'s weakness. She immediately counterattacked, holding the Sword Shield in one hand while gathering the broken blue blades in the other, preparing to strike at Fang Ren.

But what she never expected was that this time, Fang Ren didn\'t reach for the giant sword on his back but instead rushed at her with his hands empty!

"This is you seeking your own death!"

Xia Fu Lan pushed forward with her Sword Shield, slashing down with the sword blade in her hand without hesitation towards Fang Ren.

"Heavy Sword without edge!"

At that moment, Fang Ren, who had previously been unarmed, suddenly condensed an even larger Kongming Giant Blade in his hands!

The giant blade had no edge! But it was extremely large! And it was gathering a massive amount of air around it! Clearly, this sword was many times heavier than all the previous Empty Ming Swords combined!

Boom!

The Heavy Sword in Fang Ren\'s hand ignored the suppression of True Qi and smashed down on Xia Fu Lan\'s blue blade as if it were an overwhelming weight.

Right after that, Fang Ren swept out with his heavy sword, slamming it against Xia Fu Lan\'s Sword Shield.

Boom—

The arena burst into blocks that flew up into the sky; Xia Fu Lan\'s expression twisted because her Sword Shield had been forcefully dented by Fang Ren\'s central hit! And the heavy sword was still pushing forward rapidly!

She couldn\'t dodge! She had no choice but to use the Jade Water Linglong Sword to block her chest!

Boom—

The Heavy Sword, carrying the air pressure and an unstoppable force, struck Xia Fu Lan\'s body through the Sword Shield.

Xia Fu Lan turned into a streak of blue light, flying straight and fast, crashing into the protective Shield on the opposite spectator stand!

The air burst open again, and Xia Fu Lan was pressed hard against the protective Shield by the huge impact, her entire body trembling, the Jade Water Linglong Sword in her hands buzzing with a piercing whine.

Underneath her, the protective Shield set up by the association\'s president, who was at the Peak of the Yingyue Realm, even showed a crack from her impact!

Silence! The entire venue, both inside and out, fell deadly silent!

The tide of battle had turned so quickly; moments ago, everyone thought Xia Fu Lan was about to chop off Fang Ren\'s arm, but now they suddenly realized Fang Ren had never used his full strength!

If he had used his full strength from the beginning, then a single Heavy Sword without Edge would have dented Xia Fu Lan\'s Sword Shield!

Had this been the case from the start, the scene they would have seen would not have been just Xia Fu Lan getting kicked back ten meters by Fang Ren—it would have been her being smashed hundreds of meters away!

Furthermore, the power of this strike was too cruel! Even the Shield made by the president, a Peak practitioner of the Yingyue Realm, had been cracked!

"Heavy Sword without Edge... isn\'t that one of the most basic moves in the Sword Dao? And even if bolstered by True Qi, it shouldn\'t be stronger than a typical Cultivation Technique. So how did it become so powerful in his hands?!"

"This guy\'s fighting style is totally unconventional! Every move seems careless and casual! Facing Xia Fu Lan\'s advanced Cultivation Technique suppression, he managed to block so recklessly! Too messy!"

"In my view, it wasn\'t reckless slashing at all. Every one of his strikes hit the same spot! And even though he used six swords, he managed to hit all six at the gap in Xia Fu Lan\'s blade!"

"Exactly, he isn\'t fighting wildly, it\'s just that his control over Sword Dao has reached a peak! No matter how chaotic the movements, he can achieve the best effect!"

"As he pleases, Sword Dao without a sword... The Fang Family\'s eldest son is truly terrifying!"

"I suddenly have a question—if everything he has said so far has become reality, then, when he said that Song Mobei\'s understanding of Sword Dao is only this much... could it also be true?"

...

The people in the venue discussed with shock in their hearts, their eyes fixated on Fang Ren, having no interest in looking at Xia Fu Lan.

"Fang Ren!"

Suddenly, Xia Fu Lan, who had been lying on the protective Shield, flew up, blood at the corner of her mouth, her chest filled with rage, heaving violently, with her True Qi surging more violently than before!

She was throwing caution to the wind.

"Princess Fulan, the class you enrolled for has just started, so don\'t skip it," Fang Ren said indifferently, without any regard for her rage, casually retracting the giant sword he had used.

In fact, he still hadn\'t used his true strength; his previous restraint was to achieve a certain effect.

He didn\'t think it was excessive to enrage Xia Fu Lan into losing her composure, as he had never forgotten the sight of Mu Huanqing\'s meridians fractured into threads within her body, nor the first time she called out to him from her wheelchair with a look of sadness in her eyes.

That was the most heart-wrenching scene for him.

But what pained him even more was the scene he couldn\'t witness: Mu Huanqing fighting a Ninth-order Void Beast on the battlefield as the Large Formation failed, enduring until her meridians were destroyed, and watching her subordinates die one by one. How immensely cruel must that scene have been?

Standing in the center of the arena, Fang Ren turned to glance at Mu Huanqing seated in the special seats, catching sight of her excitedly complex smile.

Her husband had finally become strong enough not to worry her every day.
