Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"How...how is this possible?!"

Seeing that Lu Feng not only withstood an eighth-grade spiritual treasure with his bare body, but also only suffered minor injuries, Shen Tianzhong's expression changed drastically, revealing his shock.

It should be noted that he did not hold back at all just now, and even incorporated a wisp of sword intent power!

The power of this single strike is enough to annihilate any expert below the fourth level of the Spirit Soul Realm!

However, Lu Feng not only easily deflected his full-force strike, but also withstood it with his bare body, which was simply defying the heavens!

"Could this person be hiding their true strength?"

Thinking of this, Shen Tianzhong couldn't help but feel a chill, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

At this moment, he suddenly couldn't figure out Lu Feng. The opponent's strength had far exceeded his expectations!

"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's time for me to retaliate...!"

Just as Shen Tianzhong was stunned, a deep male voice came from afar.

Swish!

The next moment, Lu Feng switched from defense to offense and actually took the initiative to attack Shen Tianzhong on the opposite side.

By now, he had a pretty good grasp of Shen Tianzhong's strength and capabilities.

Although the opponent was strong, all his skills lay in his swordsmanship, and he relied heavily on the eighth-grade spiritual treasure "Judgment Blade". Without this blade, Shen Tianzhong's strength would be nothing more than this!

Besides, Lu Feng still has many trump cards up his sleeve, making his chances of winning this battle as high as 90%!

"Slicing through a thousand waves!"

Seeing Lu Feng take the initiative to attack, Shen Tianzhong frowned and roared. At the same time, the Sinful Mad Blade in his hand suddenly reversed and slashed forward in a very strange manner, as if he had completely abandoned defense and was only pursuing offense!

bass!bass!bass!

A flash of black light appeared, and the blade's edge pierced the air, instantly enveloping Lu Feng's vital points. It was like a thousand layers of surging waves, filled with an extremely strong sense of oppression, and almost impossible to dodge!

"Ninth-grade martial arts?"

A massive amount of dark blade light surged towards them like a raging tidal wave, and Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. He immediately leaped back, instead of trying to withstand the attack with his physical strength as before.

Although his physical body is now comparable to a ninth-grade spiritual treasure, it doesn't mean that Lu Feng is brainless or likes to act recklessly.

After all, Shen Tianzhong's move "Reverse Slash of a Thousand Waves" was not only incredibly powerful, but also more than twice as strong as the previous Spirit Elephant Evolution Technique, making it a genuine ninth-grade martial art!

Therefore, even though Lu Feng had already cultivated the Nirvana Sutra to the ninth level, he wouldn't foolishly take Shen Tianzhong's full-force strike head-on.

Rumble!

With a deafening roar, most of the arena was shrouded in dust and debris, leaving a scene of utter devastation. Lu Feng's figure vanished without a trace, seemingly torn apart by the dark blade's light, leaving no trace of his body!

"The aura of elemental energy has vanished? In this battle... I still won!"

Releasing his Yuan Power again, Shen Tianzhong sensed that Lu Feng's presence was no longer around the arena. He gripped the Judgment Blade tightly once more, his eyes still blood-red and filled with murderous intent.

"Ugh...!"

Slowly sheathing his sword, Shen Tianzhong's face turned pale the next moment, and he staggered and fell to the ground. At the same time, the Judgment Blade in his hand was stuck upside down beside him.

Clearly, by frequently using ninth-grade martial arts and the Water Spirit Soul to protect his body, his physical condition had also reached its limit, and he was almost unable to fight anymore!

"Dead, dead?!"

"I can't believe my eyes, Lu Feng is really dead?!"

"I never expected Shen Tianzhong to be so ruthless, actually cleaving Lu Feng in two with a single blow. No wonder he was once a notorious villain on the villain list!"

"Although Lu Feng is dead, this man surnamed Shen will probably not fare much better. Not only did he dare to kill someone in broad daylight, but he also slaughtered his own fellow disciples. This greatly violates the rules established by our former patriarch!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the students and bettors around the arena were all shocked and stunned. Rumors and whispers spread like wildfire, as no one seemed to have expected such an outcome.

boom!

Just as the crowd outside the arena was discussing the matter, another loud rumble came from the opposite side of the arena, causing the ground beneath everyone's feet to shake and tremble, as if the sky were falling and the earth were splitting apart, which made people's expressions change.

"What's going on?!"

"Could it be that he's not dead yet?!"

The unexpected change caused Shen Tianzhong's expression to change slightly, revealing surprise.

Click...! Click...! Click...!

However, before Shen Tian could recover his senses, a large number of emerald water columns suddenly burst out of the ground and shot into the sky, instantly turning into a vast blue ocean that swallowed and submerged him almost instantly!

"Ugh, I can't breathe...! Even my internal energy is rapidly draining away...!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

Surrounded by the vast blue ocean, Shen Tianzhong felt a deadly sense of suffocation, and even the Yuan energy in his body was rapidly draining away, as if an ordinary person had fallen into the sea and might drown on the spot at any moment!

"No, I absolutely cannot die here...!"

"roar...!"

On the verge of death, a murderous aura appeared on Shen Tianzhong's pale face, and his eyes turned a strange purple, as if he had suddenly become a different person. He roared and broke free from the restraints of the surrounding blue waves like a dragon trapped in a deep abyss!

Thud! Pfft...!

Shen Tianzhong collapsed heavily to the ground, his throat twitching slightly. He then coughed up a mouthful of blood, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. His breath was extremely weak, and it seemed that although he had successfully escaped, he was no longer able to fight!

"Good heavens, even injured like this, he managed to break free from the restraints of the Gara Overturning Sea. This guy surnamed Shen is indeed extraordinary..."

Not far from the opposite side of the arena, Lu Feng's figure slowly reappeared. Although he looked somewhat disheveled and his clothes were tattered, his aura was still formidable. He had clearly avoided Shen Tianzhong's fatal blow and had not suffered any fatal injuries.

"Strange, why does this person have a demonic aura about him? This is truly eerie..."

Just as Lu Feng was about to end the battle, a strangely aged voice suddenly came from deep within his dantian. It was none other than Gu Canyang, who had not spoken for a long time.

"Demonic energy reaction? Ancient, what is this...?"

Seeing Gu Canyang suddenly appear, Lu Feng was also slightly taken aback, his face showing confusion.

"Hmm, I see..."

"A mere human cultivator at the third level of the Spirit Soul Realm is utterly incapable of resisting the erosion of demonic energy. However, if it is merely a wisp of demonic energy remnant attached to a spiritual weapon, there is still a chance of survival, and it might even turn out to be a blessing in disguise..."

Ignoring Lu Feng's doubts, Gu Canyang, who was in the treasure basin, remained solemn. At this moment, his gaze was fixed on the Judgment Blade next to Shen Tianzhong's feet, as if he had noticed something strange.
