In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

On the arena, lightning and starlight clashed fiercely, and the sounds of swords and thunder resounded through the sky.

As Zhao Jinglei unleashed his Thunderclap Sword Technique, it truly lived up to its name, each strike carrying the might of heavenly thunder. The sword light was no longer a simple barrage of lightning, but transformed into countless agile lightning snakes, winding and weaving through the air, attacking Su Han from unbelievable angles. These lightning snakes were not inanimate objects; under Zhao Jinglei's exquisite sword intent, they seemed to possess life, cooperating with each other to form an impenetrable net of lightning swords.

Su Han's Star River Reversal was equally exquisite. As the Starfire Sword danced, specks of starlight converged into a river, transforming into a rotating star river barrier in front of him. That star river was not static, but slowly rotated like a real celestial river. With each rotation, it would engulf the incoming lightning serpents, using the power of the stars and moon to wear them down and annihilate them.

"Clang! Clang! Clang clang clang!"

The clash of swords echoed incessantly. Each collision unleashed a dazzling light and a violent shockwave. The power of lightning and the starlight eroded and annihilated each other, leaving marks of varying depths on the arena.

Su Han grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed. Zhao Jinglei's swordsmanship was completely different from the Yin Puppet's treacherous and insidious style; it was a dignified and majestic divine might. Each strike contained the ferocity and speed of thunder, yet he controlled it with exquisite precision. Even more terrifying was that Zhao Jinglei's thunderous sword intent faintly carried an aura of "divine punishment," each strike seemingly representing the will of heaven and earth, punishing all that defied the laws of nature. Under the pressure of this aura, Su Han's Star Moon Sword Intent was subtly suppressed.

"Is this the strength of the top geniuses of the Xuan Tian Sect?" Su Han thought with a chill. Zhao Jinglei's cultivation was clearly at the peak of the Star Sea Realm, but the combat power he displayed was probably no less than that of some experts who had just entered the Spirit Abyss Realm!
"This can't go on." Su Han's mind raced. Although his Primordial Star Power was pure and recovered quickly, the difference in cultivation level was still significant, and suppressing the demonic seed yesterday had taken a considerable toll on him. If they were to get into a protracted battle, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

Upon realizing this, Su Han's sword stance suddenly changed!
The starlight and moonlight, no longer primarily for defense, suddenly contracted, concentrating entirely at the tip of the Starfire Sword. The next moment, Su Han unleashed his full movement technique, transforming into a streak of ethereal starlight, weaving and darting through the countless lightning snakes, heading straight for Zhao Jinglei's true form!
"Hmm?" Zhao Jinglei raised an eyebrow, and his Thunderclap Sword returned to defense, setting up a lightning sword curtain in front of him.

"Star Moon Sword Technique - Moon Falls, Stars Sink!"

Su Han let out a low shout, and the Starfire Sword thrust out with a mysterious trajectory. This sword strike, seemingly slow, was actually incredibly fast; seemingly light and agile, it was actually as heavy as a mountain. At the tip of the sword, the power of stars and moon was frantically compressed and collapsed, as if a star was about to fall and a bright moon was about to sink!
A look of solemnity flashed in Zhao Jinglei's eyes. He could feel the terrifying power contained in this sword strike, a sword intent that surpassed Su Han's current cultivation level! He did not take it head-on, but instead retreated rapidly, while the Thunderclap Sword drew mysterious trajectories in the air.

"Thunderclap Sword Technique - Thunder Domain Prison!"

"Boom!"

Centered on Zhao Jinglei, a ten-zhang radius suddenly transformed into a domain of lightning! Countless fine bolts of lightning emerged from the void, weaving together to form a lightning cage that enveloped both Zhao Jinglei and Su Han. Within the cage, the power of the lightning surged several times over, each bolt carrying multiple effects of imprisonment, paralysis, and destruction.

Su Han's "Moon Falls, Stars Sink" sword pierced into the lightning domain, but it seemed to sink into a quagmire, its speed greatly reduced. The star and moon power compressed to the extreme at the sword tip violently rubbed and annihilated with the surrounding violent lightning power, emitting a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.

"Break!" Su Han gritted his teeth and poured the Primordial Star Power into the Starfire Sword without reservation.

"Om-!"

The Starfire Sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, and the star and moon patterns on its blade suddenly shone brightest! The compressed star and moon power finally broke through the constraints of the thunder domain and erupted with a roar!

"Boom—!!!" A gap was blasted open in the Thunder Domain Prison! The violent power of stars and moon and the power of thunder swept wildly in all directions, and the protective light barrier at the edge of the arena shook violently, with fine cracks appearing on its surface! The elders watching the battle changed their expressions and hurriedly reinforced the light barrier.

Amidst the smoke and light, two figures were sent flying backward.

Su Han landed, staggering back seven steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the bluestone ground, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. His right hand, holding the sword, trembled slightly, the web of his hand split open, blood dripping down the hilt.

Zhao Jinglei was also badly injured. He took five steps back, and the sword energy tore a hole in his robe, revealing a soft armor that shimmered with lightning underneath. On the soft armor, there was a faint white spot, left by Su Han's sword strike.

"A fine sword!" Zhao Jinglei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "Since I mastered the Thunder Domain Heavenly Prison, you are the first among my peers to be able to forcefully break through it!"

Su Han took a deep breath, suppressed the surging blood and qi within him, and slowly said, "Senior Brother Zhao's Thunder Sword Domain has also broadened my horizons."

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the admiration and seriousness in each other's eyes.

This battle is not just a sect competition, but a clash between two completely different sword styles, a battle of mutual respect and all-out struggle between two geniuses!
The audience was completely silent.

Disciples from various sects, as well as elders and deacons watching the battle, were all shocked by the earth-shattering collision. Many disciples wondered if they themselves would have been trapped in the Thunder Domain Prison, unable to withstand even three breaths, let alone forcibly break free. Yet Su Han not only broke free, but also nearly injured Zhao Jinglei!

"This child... is extraordinary." On the high platform, an elder of the Xuantian Sect stroked his beard and sighed, "To be able to cultivate the Star Moon Sword Dao to such a level, the Qingyun Sect has really struck gold."

Another elder beside him nodded: "Junior Nephew Zhao's Thunder Sword Intent has already grasped the true essence of 'Heavenly Punishment.' Ordinary peak Star Sea Realm cultivators can't last more than ten moves against him. It's truly rare for Su Han, with his mid-stage Star Sea Realm cultivation, to fight to such an extent. What's even more remarkable is that he was also afflicted by a demonic seed yesterday..."

On the Qingyun Sect's side, Elder Lin and the others were both pleased and worried. They were pleased that Su Han's combat strength far exceeded their expectations, but worried that he was injured and would be at a disadvantage in a prolonged battle.

"Senior Brother Su, go for it!" In the Qingyun Sect disciple area, Ye Qingxue clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms without her realizing it. Several of her fellow disciples beside her were also watching the arena nervously, their breathing rapid.

After a brief respite on the arena, the battle resumed!

This time, neither of them tested the waters; they attacked with deadly moves from the very beginning!
"Thunderclap Sword Technique - Heavenly Thunder Summoning!"

Zhao Jinglei pointed his longsword to the sky, and dark clouds gathered wildly above the arena, lightning churning and roaring within them. The next moment, a bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a water vat, descended from the sky, not striking Su Han, but landing directly on the Thunderclap Sword! (End of Chapter)
