Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 302 The Sword Arrives, the Killing Scheme Breaks

This statement immediately garnered widespread support.

They had been waiting on the sidelines for many days, and finally the showdown was about to begin—the true owner of fortune stood before the one who stole it. Who would emerge victorious?

Some people hoped that Shen Xun could expose the true face of the usurper and drag the thief into the mire.

Some people expect Zhu Wuyao to make a name for himself in one battle, break free from the shackles of right and wrong, and never look back.

The clamor of voices around me was deafening.

"Senior Sister Zhu, all my techniques are open to the public; there's no need to hide them from anyone."

Shen Xun's voice fell.

All my moves can be shown to others, what about yours?

Do you dare to present your sword, which cleaved through the world's deadly traps, before anyone? Just how much real skill do you possess?

Are you... afraid of losing?

"Indeed! Zhu Wuyao, many people have already witnessed your sword strike. If it's truly for the sake of gaining some insights for the fellow disciples of Zhaixing Tower, are you really going to hold onto your secrets in this final round?"

"Or rather... is your sword strike truly only for self-defense and not for killing enemies?"

"If you don't dare, you might as well admit defeat early, go back and seclude yourself for a few years before coming out again!"

……

Hearing the loud provocations from the crowd below, Elder Wu glanced at Zhu Wuyao with a hint of worry.

Her sword strike was impossible to execute on its own initiative.

It would be better if there were fog to cover it up.

If Zhu Wuyao can ultimately defeat Shen Xun, she can at least save face. However, if she is in front of everyone, her every move will be watched by countless eyes.

The secret behind that sword strike could no longer be kept secret!

Just as he was deeply worried about Zhu Wuyao, he suddenly heard a sound—

"it is good."

Elder Wu looked at Zhu Wuyao on the field with surprise, even doubting that he had heard correctly.

She actually dared to put this decisive battle in front of everyone?!

What gives her such confidence?!

Elder Wu sighed softly.

It's not that Elder Wu lacked confidence in her; rather, this round was a case of Zhu Wuyao using force against the weak. Shen Xun was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while she was in the middle stage. If she won, it would be only natural!

Elder Wu admired her somewhat; she dared to face public opinion and was not constrained by praise or criticism, which showed that her character was already of superior quality.

Even if you're hit rock bottom today, you'll have your day in the future.

It might become even more intense.

Shen Xun didn't give Zhu Wuyao a chance to back out. Holding his sword in one hand, he distanced himself from her and spoke first:

"Senior Sister Zhu, please make the first move!"

"I am the one who is rumored to have sparred with you, but I have never seen that legendary sword."

"I've come today specifically to seek your guidance!"

As the challenge fell, a wave of excitement swept through the crowd.

"Zhu Wuyao! Draw your sword!"

"Draw out the sword!"

"Draw out the sword!"

Amidst the bustling crowd, Hua Yingting and Xu San'er cast worried glances their way.

“Ah Yao…”

"Oh my God, it's all over! Everything is over..."

"Draw your sword! Draw your sword!"

Their voices were instantly drowned out; the crowd's excitement surged like a tidal wave, propelling the two combatants to the highest position—

Today, one person is destined to be submerged.

The crowd is witnessing the birth of a true hero, or the fall of a false master.

Under countless gazes, the bladeless sword that had accompanied Zhu Wuyao on his travels across the country and across mountains and rivers appeared in his hand with a gentle flick of his wrist.

"Shen Xun, have you ever considered that this sword... it really exists?"

"Then cut it off and show it to me, let the world see it! Why bother with empty boasting now?"

Shen Xun didn't believe it.

Even if this sword truly exists, it can only be used to break through enemy attacks; it cannot be used to initiate an attack.

Today is the day your wings are broken!

The sword without edge is simple and unadorned. It lacks the sharpness of divine weapons and is even a bladeless sword. After the incident in the Liquan Realm and the settlement of karma, its brilliance has been further diminished. Therefore, when Zhu Wuyao holds it in his hand, it always appears so dull and rough.

The crowd below looked at the broken black sword in her hand, unwilling to believe that the legendary sword strike had been wielded by it and by her.

I don't want to believe it has the ability to break the deadlock and the power to defeat the enemy!

Just as no one can be absolutely certain that the swordsman on the battle platform can break through gossip, right and wrong, success and failure, and spread his wings for thousands of miles.

Amidst glances tinged with regret, filled with anxious anticipation, and under stares that were either disdainful or malicious, Zhu Wuyao slowly raised her arm, and then—

A sword was slashed out.

Before this, sixty-seven people had seen this sword. It was extremely plain and boring, like a child dancing with a sword, without any outstanding features.

However, when Shen Xun, who was standing in front of Zhu Wuyao, faced this sword, his pupils suddenly contracted!

This sword strike... is as calm as a still pool, but only when you truly meet it do you realize what a thunderous sword strike truly is!

This is the sword strike!

"impossible!"

Elder Wu's breathing almost stopped. He suddenly stood up and stared intently at the sword strike Zhu Wuyao had unleashed!

He observed dozens of sword fights.

He will never admit his mistake!

This was the sword strike that was unavoidable, that struck before it was even unleashed, and that once it was unleashed, there was no room for doubt!

Shen Xun's protective aura suddenly shone brightly. He took a step back to stop himself, and countless toy-like windmills rose up, spinning in the whistling wind and creating whirlpools.

He stared intently at the incoming sword strike; he refused to believe it!

How is this possible...

This is impossible!

Nothing is impossible!

When that sword fell in front of Shen Xun, the solemn spiritual barrier and the leisurely spinning windmill seemed to be ignored. As soon as they clashed, they crumbled and scattered like sand. It was as if a brick had been removed from a sturdy tower, and it collapsed with a crash, leaving only a desolate and dilapidated place.

The sword continued forward—

It can break through wind blades and disrupt spirit swords!

With the arrival of the sword, the situation is broken, and all enemies can be defeated!

This is the sword strike!

It is undeniable that with a single sword strike, no matter how prepared the enemy is, they will crumble at the first touch!

"Could this be a chaotic mess?"

"No, this is not Luan Chang, this is her sword strike."

Sect Leader Fang said with absolute certainty.

She saw that Shen Xun was struck squarely in the chest by that sword. If it weren't for the magical artifact hidden behind his clothes flashing with spiritual light and blocking the sword, he would probably have been seriously injured.

Shen Xun was knocked back dozens of steps. He tried to swallow the surging blood, but red specks still splattered on the ground.

The audience was stunned.

"This is the sword strike!"

"That's right! I've been on the dueling stage before, and this is the legendary sword strike!"

Shen Xun's ears were ringing, and the clamor of countless voices made his thoughts chaotic. This sword strike brought him a strong shock. He never thought that Zhu Wuyao could actually unleash that sword strike before the enemy even made a move!

"I do not believe……"

He gripped his sword tightly. He heard the gasps of the crowd. Now, if he wanted to achieve his goal, there was only one path to take—

Keep fighting!

Even if she can unleash that sword strike, as long as she defeats Zhu Wuyao, she still cannot be considered a true hero!

He... didn't believe Zhu Wuyao was that strong!
