Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Zhou Yunqing demonstrated his formidable strength the moment he appeared!

He displayed utter disdain for the oppressive aura emanating from Lu Hengtian, dismissing it with a mere glance.

That terrifying pressure was crushed by the aura like a savage beast!

Lu Hengtian grunted, and everyone heard Zhou Yunqing's voice.

His deep, steady voice, infused with Yuan energy, reverberated in all directions, icily stating, "Withdraw your pressure, or else..."

Before his words could fade, another imposing azure cloud ship, a hundred zhang in size, materialized beside the Lu family's cloud ship!

An old woman in coarse linen, her face full and wrinkled, was filled with coldness.

She narrowed her eyes at Zhou Yunqing and said in a frigid tone, "Or else what, tell me?"

An even more terrifying and savage pressure soared into the sky, causing Zhou Yunqing to frown and narrow his eyes.

"Late stage of the Great Vehicle Realm!"

Lu Hengtian glanced at the old woman, his face expressionless as he muttered inwardly, "Why is the Zhu family here?"

The cultivators from the six domains felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their chests, making it difficult to breathe.

They couldn't even lift their heads in the face of the aging woman.

Even Li Guanqi hadn't anticipated that the situation would escalate to such a degree…it was getting out of hand…

However, at that moment!

A swordsman in green robes, carrying a sword on his back, silently stood beside the old woman without anyone noticing.

The young man held a green wine gourd, smiled at Li Guanqi, and took a sip of wine.

Boom!!!

The moment the old woman saw the green-clad figure beside her, she instantly thrust her crutch at her side!

Clang!!!

A clear sword cry rang out as a long sword slashed from the old woman's armpit to her neck, the blade sinking two fingers deep!

The drinking young man ignored the arm that fell to his feet, tilted his head to look at the old woman, and said softly.

"Zhu Ying, don't force me to kill you."

The originally hunched old woman couldn't help but tremble all over when she heard the young man's words.

That was… fear!

Fear from the bottom of her heart!

The old woman lowered her head, cold sweat dripping from her cheeks onto the deck, and swallowed hard.

She put down her crutch, bowed, and said, "Zhu Ying of the Zhu family greets the Azure-Clad Sword Immortal, Master Nangong."

Everyone watched this scene in disbelief, not daring to breathe loudly.

The person who could suppress the Great Xia Domain Lord Zhou Yunqing with her aura in the previous moment.

In the blink of an eye, she had half an arm cut off, the blade embedded in her neck, yet she didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction…

Li Guanqi looked at the Azure-Clad Swordsman on the deck, his eyes shining brightly.

He murmured softly, "Azure-Clad Sword Immortal, Nangong Xuandu!"

Hong Zhi had told him a lot about the Eight Generals, although it was only mentioned briefly.

But she had said a few more words about this sword cultivator.

He didn't expect to meet him so soon.

Nangong Xuandu sheathed his long sword with a clang and flashed to the center of both camps.

He calmly scanned the audience and said softly, "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I am responsible for hosting the arena battle between the Great Xia Sword Sect and the ancient Lu family."

Looking at the thousand-zhang Dao platform floating in the distance, Nangong Xuandu said softly, "Now that everyone is here, let's prepare to begin."

Li Guanqi frowned, glanced at Nangong Xuandu, and transmitted his voice to him…

But he found that his voice transmission was blocked by the other party!

The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth twitched. No wonder Senior Hong Zhi said 'unaccommodating' when she mentioned Nangong Xuandu!

Buzz!!!

Under his control, a thick blue barrier slowly rose from the Dao platform!

The strength of this barrier was beyond everyone's imagination.

Even cultivators in the Integration Realm could attack without restraint inside.

Nangong Xuandu's voice slowly rang out, "I believe you all know the rules, but I will briefly reiterate them."

"Those whose Dao age exceeds one hundred years are forbidden from participating. I will kill anyone who attempts to seize another's body!"

"Apart from the age limit, you are responsible for your own life and death, and there are no restrictions on your cultivation realm. Even if you are a Great Vehicle Realm cultivator within a hundred years, it doesn't matter."

"Alright, the first person from the Great Xia Sword Sect and the Lu family can come on stage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Xuandu raised his hand and lit an incense stick in the void.

Obviously, there wasn't much time left for both sides to prepare, and this incense stick was burning extremely fast…

Li Guanqi couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Would it kill him to be accommodating!! Why is this incense burning so fast!!"

"Third brother, where are you guys?"

"Boss, two quarters of an hour! We're in Zhongzhou!"

"Hurry up, there's not much time left for you!"

Lu Kangnian's forehead was already sweating slightly, and his fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves, but he still remained calm on the surface.

Lu Wuhen on the deck took a deep look at Nangong Xuandu, who suddenly turned his head to meet his gaze.

Nangong Xuandu tilted his head slightly, looked at Lu Wuhen, and said softly, "Control your eyes, if you 'look' at me again, I don't mind killing you."

Lu Wuhen quickly lowered his head. In that instant, he clearly felt the other party's killing intent!

And Nangong Xuandu's words were warning him not to have any thoughts of scheming against him!

Lu Wuhen lowered his head and whispered a word, and then a young man from the Lu family's cloud ship instantly teleported to the Dao platform!

The tall and thin young man was Lu Yun, who had previously been nailed to the stone pillar by Lu Tao.

Lu Yun, late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, was not weak.

But standing on the Dao platform, Lu Yun understood that he was just a pawn.

A pawn thrown out at will to test the Great Xia Sword Sect!

Lu Yun frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and looked up at his surroundings.

The feeling of being the center of attention made him extremely excited, and he kept adjusting his breathing in place.

In the space of a few breaths, he had already adjusted himself to his peak state.

There was no sound in his ears, and all interfering factors were discarded by him.

Seeing this scene, Lu Kangnian couldn't help but say, "Guanqi, how much longer until Cao Yan and the others return?"

"This guy doesn't look so simple. Even if he's bait thrown out by the other party, his strength is definitely not to be underestimated!"

Li Guanqi nodded, of course he understood.

Even if the other party was the weakest of the five, he would definitely not be thrown up there at random!

Neither the Great Xia Sword Sect nor the Lu family could easily lose any match!

Losing one match meant that there would not be many opportunities for them to lose later.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the sandalwood incense in the air, watching as it was about to burn out.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath and slowly walked forward.

Lu Wuhen's mouth almost split open when he saw this scene. If he could exchange a Lu Yun for Li Guanqi…

But Li Guanqi was prepared to give up this match!

Even if he lost, he would not be greedy for the victory of this match and go up himself.

Just as he raised his hand and was about to speak, a young figure in a white robe suddenly teleported to the Dao platform!

Cao Yan, his chest heaving violently, didn't look back, but stared intently at the young man in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Great Xia Sword Sect, Cao Yan!"
