Chapter 178 - He is a Swordsman!

With a sword in hand, Lin Xuan’s aura underwent a drastic transformation.

Sharp and fierce, as if a divine sword had been drawn from its sheath.

“What, he’s actually a swordsman?”

The surrounding martial artists were somewhat dumbfounded, as Lin Xuan’s power of Thunder had already shocked them profoundly, and now he had even drawn a longsword!

“No way, if he’s a swordsman, how monstrously skilled must he be!”

Those who didn’t recognize Lin Xuan were all talking, their eyes filled with surprise.

Because typically, a swordsman’s abilities are concentrated in the sword.

With a sword in hand, he could deliver 120% of his attack power, but without his sword, he probably couldn’t even execute 60%.

However, Lin Xuan was obviously an exception.

Without a sword, he was very formidable.

With a sword, he was even stronger!

At this moment, every martial artist who knew Lin Xuan changed their expressions.

Many were excited, almost wanting to shout out.

Because Lin Xuan’s strongest aspect wasn’t his Thunder, but his Sword Intent.

A swordsman who had comprehended Sword Intent possessed absolutely incredible combat power!

Lin Xuan made a gesture similar to Cang Bao’s, as Spiritual Power surged within him.

“What’s he doing, is he about to release some Absolute Skill?” the surrounding martial artists speculated incessantly.

“Hmph, don’t think that move will confuse me, it’s useless!” Cang Bao sneered.

“You think you can display the same martial arts?

What a joke!” The elders of the Cang Family said disdainfully.

However, in the next moment, their eyes nearly popped out.

Behind Lin Xuan, five thick streaks of Sword Qi appeared, towering like heavenly pillars.

Hiss—

The crowd inhaled sharply, as if they had seen a ghost.

Cang Bao’s face dramatically changed, and his body even started to tremble, the Thunder Blade shadow behind him flickering unsteadily.

“Impossible, how can you know our Cang Family’s Absolute Skill!”

Cang Bao shouted with all his might.

The disciples of Cang Family were utterly terrified.

A group of Cang Family elders were nearly scared to death; the scene was too horrifying.

Their opponent had executed a move identical to their own, and yet this move was their family’s most guarded secret.

“It’s not the Seven-layered Thunder Blade, it just looks the same!” the Great Elder of Cang Family, with extraordinary cultivation, recognized the truth.

Although it appeared similar, the aura it carried was completely different.

After hearing this, several elders felt relieved, followed by a round of cold laughter.

Their Cang Family’s Seven-layered Thunder Blade was not something to be trifled with.

Each blade contained an overwhelmingly strong force, and the blades weren’t just a simple summation.

Unified into one, they could unleash an attack that surpassed one’s own power.

Cang Bao also quickly grasped this principle; he didn’t pay attention to Lin Xuan, but instead slowly concentrated on the Thunder Blade shadow behind him.

Lin Xuan understood this principle as well, although he couldn’t currently mimic the secrets of the Thunder Blade, but at the moment Cang Bao made his move, nothing would remain secret.

His Purple Spirit Eyes operated to their limits, as Lin Xuan seemed to see through Cang Bao.

Cang Bao’s body shivered; he felt a mysterious chill.

Without waiting, he swung his long arm, and the five sword shadows behind him merged into one, forming a dazzling Sword Light that slashed down thunderously.

This moment was exceedingly swift, but under the effect of the Purple Spirit Eyes, Lin Xuan still caught it.

The Great Dragon Sword Seal surged, as Lin Xuan pushed his body’s potential to the extreme.

The Sword Light flashed, instantly arriving above his head.

And at that moment, Lin Xuan made his move.

The five streaks of Sword Qi behind him rapidly merged together, forming a sharp sword light.

And within it, was also contained the fierce Sword Intent.

Slash!

Lin Xuan shouted lowly, as the Autumn Trace Sword swiftly chopped down, the Sword Qi behind him sweeping through the surroundings.

Boom—

Two streams of fierce energy collided, releasing a metallic roar.

“I am the true Seven-layered Thunder Blade, die!” Cang Bao screamed crazily, pouring all his Spiritual Power into the move.

However, to his despair, the blue sword light was slowly being repelled.

The sharp Sword Qi, like a giant dragon, rapidly expanded and charged toward him.

In an instant, everything was annihilated.

The whole world seemed to have lost its voice, with no sound to be heard, only light shimmering.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

From a distance, the elders of the Cang Family could no longer hold back, they were going insane!

Without any hesitation, they quickly rushed toward the Martial Arts Platform.

The Cang Family elders were not the only ones on the move—the Three Sect Elders and various forces from Yunzhou were also in action.

“Open for me!”

A loud roar followed by a giant hand appeared in the sky.

Grabbing at the void, the clouds rolled backward, and a fierce wind overflowed, shattering Lin Xuan’s Sword Qi.

A massive pressure descended, as if ten thousand mountains were bearing down.

The terrifying aura enveloped the entire scene, making it hard for anyone to breathe.

“This is…

a Melt Spirit Realm master!”

Someone said with a trembling voice.

Lin Xuan’s expression was solemn as he stared at the phenomenon in the sky, momentarily lost in thought.

Is this the power of a Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artist?

It’s incredibly strong, Lin Xuan aspired.

Lin Xuan was not overly worried, as his Soul had sensed several familiar forces, all ready to protect him!

Swoosh!

A huge Light Palm, a hundred meters in size, mercilessly reached for Lin Xuan.

Boom!

The clouds surged, forming a giant mountain that repelled the Light Palm.

Several figures quickly landed beside Lin Xuan and protected him.

“Greetings, elders!” Lin Xuan respectfully said.

The arrivals were Elder Duanmu and others who tightly surrounded Lin Xuan, fearing any accident might occur.

“Scoundrel, look what you’ve done!”

Across from them, the Cang Family elders trembled with fury.

One elder held the blood-covered Cang Bao, his face incredibly fierce.

Lin Xuan sneered, “If the young ones can’t win, send the old ones, what a great tactic from the Cang Family!”

“What did you say, do you believe I can kill you with one slap!” an elder from the Cang Family bellowed with rage.

“Hmph, thinking we’re just for show!” Elder Duanmu and the others sneered, their aura flowing about them.

The Cang Family was in the wrong from the start, ruthlessly suppressing Yunzhou’s disciples, and now, a Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artist had even dared to attack Lin Xuan!

“Let the young ones spar; we old folks shouldn’t interfere.

If you do want to fight, I can spare you a couple of moves!” Elder Duanmu said slowly.

“Shameless youngster, stealing our Cang Family’s Absolute Skill, and even injuring our Cang Family Disciple, the crime is unforgivable!”

“Hand over Lin Xuan, or it will be a disaster for Yunzhou!” the Great Elder of the Cang Family’s presence was overpowering.

“If it weren’t for your targeting Yunzhou disciples first, such incidents wouldn’t have happened.”

“So, think before you act in the future!” Lin Xuan retorted.

“The match between me and Cang Bao was fair.

Injuries or deaths are unavoidable.”

“This point has been made very clear by your own Cang Lei!”

“If you truly wish to disgrace yourselves by attacking me, I’ll accept it!

But then, how the world talks about the Cang Family will no longer be my concern.”

Lin Xuan sneered internally, confident in his methods to prevent the Cang Family elders from acting.

The Cang Family elders’ faces turned beet red, calming down from their initial rage.

With so many watching, acting rashly now could provoke discontent from other forces.

At this, the Cang Family elder snorted coldly, “Set aside the injuries caused, the fact that you learned our Cang Family’s Absolute Skill clandestinely cannot be overlooked!”

“Regardless, you must come with us to the Cang Family and clarify the truth!”

The few secretly sneered, once Lin Xuan was in their hands, uncovering his secrets wouldn’t be hard.

Then, the golden lightning and all treasures on Lin Xuan would belong to the Cang Family!
