Lu Tianze was the number one genius of Shura Sword Sect. His potential was comparable to Luo Bairen's.
Back then, he had also triggered seven chimes of the Shura Bell when he challenged it.
Like the Ancient Golden Bell, the Shura Bell was an ancient treasure. It contained the Shura Sword Skill that specialized in killing. One could only obtain the Shura Sword Skill if they were recognized by the Shura Bell.
The only difference was that the Shura Bell was completely controlled by Shura Sword Sect. They could activate it whenever they wanted.
However, the Ancient Golden Bell was different. Every time it was activated, it required a huge amount of resources. Therefore, the major forces would only activate it once a year.
This time, Lu Tianze's mission was to kill Gu Jian.
He stared at Gu Jian with eyes full of disdain.
Although Lu Tianze's cultivation was only at Lv 6 True Martial Realm, no one below Lv 7 was his match.
How could a mere Lv 4 True Martial Realm martial artist be his match?
Crash!
A majestic aura surged around Lu Tianze's body.
There was a sinister smile on Lu Tianze's face. His blood-red robe fluttered even though there was no wind.
Lu Tianze clenched his fists. A vast amount of Spiritual Qi gushed out from his Qi Sea.
Lu Tianze's fist was instantly wrapped in Spiritual Qi. He punched towards Fang Chen.
Rumble!
This punch was too powerful. Even a Lv 6 True Martial Realm martial artist would not dare to face it head-on.
"So strong."
Fang Chen also felt the power of Lu Tianze's punch. Without hesitation, he used the Five Elements Sword Skill to block Lu Tianze's attack.
Crack!
Wherever Lu Tianze's fist passed, the air dissipated and the void was about to be torn apart.
After colliding with Fang Chen's sword radiance, the Five Elements Sword Radiance was instantly shattered. Then, the terrifying fist radiance blasted towards Fang Chen's body.
Bang!
Sword Qi surrounded Fang Chen's body. His late-stage Refined Body Sword Body was activated to the extreme. His defense was raised to the highest level.
After being hit by the terrifying fist radiance, Fang Chen's body kept retreating. The Sword Qi around him revolved, resisting Lu Tianze's fist radiance with difficulty.
Hiss, hiss, hiss
Fang Chen's Sword Body had reached the late-stage of the Tempered Body Realm. It was comparable to a Nine-star Dao Body, but its defense was much stronger than a Nine-star Dao Body.
His physical defense was already the strongest on the Ancient Sword Continent.
It was common knowledge that the Nine-Star Dao Physique was the strongest physical defense on the Ancient Sword Continent.
As for Fang Chen's special physique, he had also cultivated to the level of a Nine-Star Great Path Physique, which was amazing.
Boom
In the end, under Fang Chen's powerful defense, Lu Tianze's fist light instantly dissipated, while Fang Chen only took a few steps back.
Seeing this, many martial artists below the ring widened their eyes.
"He actually managed to block senior apprentice-brother Lu's attack with just his physical defense!"
"Could it be that his physical strength has reached the level of a Nine-Star Dao Body?"
"Nine Star Dao Body. Is this kid a monster?"
In the Golden Sword City area, the eyes of Luo Bairen and the others flickered. After a long while, they sighed.
"Brother Gujian's potential is the strongest I've ever seen," Luo Bairen said softly.
"He's only at Lv 4 True Martial Realm, but he can easily defeat a Lv 5 True Martial Realm martial artist. His physical strength is also so strong," Wu Li said with a grin.
Fatty Li and He Xuelin were also speechless. Even a genius like Luo Bairen's physical strength had not reached the level of a Nine-Star Dao Body.
Yet, Gujian had managed to do it.
On the main stage, Elder Xuan and Xiu Yun's eyes flashed with a look of astonishment.
"Elder Xuan, your Sword Arena has accepted a good disciple," Xiu Yun whispered, his eyes flickering.
Elder Xuan chuckled. He was very happy.
Fang Chen had cultivated his physical body to the level of a Nine-Star Dao Body with his own efforts. It was too difficult.
In the beginning, Elder Xuan was still worried.
But now, after seeing Fang Chen's physical defense, he was no longer worried.
Even if he could not defeat Lu Tianze, he would not be seriously injured by him.
"This kid," Elder Xuan said to himself.
In the arena, Lu Tianze stared at Fang Chen in surprise. After a long while, he sneered, "Nine-Star Dao Body?"
So what if he had a Nine-Star Dao Body? He was just testing the waters.
Next, the real attack would begin.
Rumble!
In an instant, the surrounding power of heaven and earth rushed into Lu Tianze's body.
A long sword appeared in Lu Tianze's hand. This long sword was bright red, as if it was dripping blood.
Lu Tianze held the sword hilt. The sword trembled and emitted a sword cry, as if it was resonating with its master.
"Gujian, I'll show you the real Asura Sword Skill."
Lu Tianze growled. Suddenly, Asura Sword Qi appeared around his body. He then displayed the Asura Sword Skill.
The Asura Sword Skill had a total of five levels, and each level was different.
Lu Tianze had already cultivated the Asura Sword Skill to the fourth level. As long as he could reach the fifth level, he would be able to enter the legendary Burial Sword City.
Whoosh!
Lu Tianze's wrist shook. A blood-red long sword suddenly appeared in the sky. Immediately, wild Asura Sword Qi emerged from the blood-red long sword. It quickly condensed into a ray of Asura Sword Light in the sky.
This Asura Sword Light was different from the ones that Xi Ming and the others had condensed.
This Asura sword light clearly contained an even stronger Asura sword qi.
The first level of the Asura Sword Skill could condense one true Asura Sword Light. The second level could condense two, and the third level could condense three. Lu Tianze had condensed four Asura Sword Lights in one go.
In the sky, four terrifying Asura Sword Lights floated together. The tips of the swords were fixed on Fang Chen, ready to strike at any time.
At this moment, Fang Chen did not hesitate to push the Five Elemental Sword Skill to its limits. The Five Elemental Sword Lights floated in the sky.
Then, under Fang Chen's control, the Five Elemental Sword Lights blasted towards the four Asura Sword Lights in the sky.
At the same time, Fang Chen used the Soul Attraction Art.
A green soul spirit emerged from his mind. Under the control of the Soul Attraction Art, it turned into a green battle spear and followed the Five Elemental Sword Lights, shooting towards Lu Tianze.
Then, with a thought, Fang Chen activated the True Meaning of Void and disappeared.
"En."
Although he already knew that Gu Jian possessed the True Meaning of Space, his heart was still shaken when he felt it for the first time.
"I can't feel it at all." Lu Tianze's eyes flickered. A moment later, he controlled the four Asura Sword Lights to attack the Five Elemental Sword Lights.
Kacha!
The Five Elemental Sword Lights shattered, but only one Asura Sword Light shattered.
The remaining three Asura Sword Lights continued to attack the green battle spear.
Rumble …
When the green battle spear collided with the three Asura Sword Lights, the attack of the Asura Sword Lights was stopped.
The sound of metal colliding rang out.
After a series of collisions, the green battle spear slowly dissipated. At the same time, two of the Asura Sword Lights were shattered.
Out of the four Asura Sword Lights, only one remained.
This last Asura Sword Light floated in the air, containing the strongest power, waiting for Fang Chen to appear.
"Damned True Meaning of Space."
Lu Tianze couldn't help cursing. Gu Jian activated the True Meaning of Space, hiding in the void, making it impossible for him to lock onto Gu Jian's position.
In the void, Fang Chen's figure was hidden, and Lu Tianze couldn't find him.
"Too strong, even if I use the Void Annihilation Slash, I won't be able to defeat Lu Tianze. Instead, I'll expose my identity." Fang Chen muttered to himself.
Lu Tianze's last Asura Sword Light was waiting for Fang Chen to appear.
As long as Fang Chen appeared, he would definitely be hit by the Asura Sword Light.
"If you don't come out, I'll force you out."
After waiting for a while, Gu Jian still didn't appear. Lu Tianze was thoroughly enraged.
He directly detonated the last Asura Sword Light and displayed the Asura Sword Skill's fourth stage.
Four Asura Sword Lights crisscrossed in the air above the stage, exploding one after another.
A powerful force instantly exploded in the air.
Lu Tianze was using this method to lure Fang Chen out.
At this time, there were two old men in the clouds. No one in Golden Sword City noticed them.
"True Meaning of Void, I didn't expect this kid to have the True Meaning of Void." One of the old men said in surprise.
"How did this kid come to the Sword Burial State? The last time I saw him, he was only in the Spirit Vortex Realm." The other old man said.
