In the Heaven's Secret Tower, the atmosphere was as heated as fire.
Everyone was still discussing the matters related to the battle of the peak.
However, as the Sword-Testing Stage lit up, everyone's attention was drawn to it.
"This Lifeless Thorn is a nobody. I'm afraid he's no match for Linghu Chong.”
"Unknown? If you were in the south of Great Ming Pass, just this sentence would have killed you.”
"That's right. Lifeless Thorn is the second most powerful man in the Money Gang. He's known as the God of the Left Hand Sword and is the undisputed number one swordsman in South Gate.”
"I'm Guannan's man. Lifeless Thorn is indeed powerful. He's killed at least eight sect leaders.”
"I have high hopes for Alliance Master Linghu. The sword manual he cultivates is praised by the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets.”
……
While the crowd was discussing, the two shadows on the stage moved.
Lifeless Thorn was famous for his swift swordsmanship, and this attack was no exception.
In a flash.
Lifeless Thorn's left hand had already raised his sword, and the blade was only three inches away from Linghu Chong's throat.
"Too fast!"
Just this sword alone made the hair of all the swordsmen in the hall stand on end, and a chill ran down their spines.
The speed of this sword was even more astonishing than lightning.
Even Shi Feixuan, who was in the private room on the third floor, frowned. If she did not make thorough preparations, she might not be able to take the sword.?
All martial arts in the world were invincible!
Even if one's cultivation was higher, if one didn't have a top-notch movement technique, one would only die if this sword approached.
It was obvious that Linghu Chong did not cultivate any top grade movement technique, but he managed to dodge the sword.
It was as if he had predicted this, and before Lifeless Thorn could even attack, he had already predicted his next move.
Not only that, but Linghu Chong had also stabbed his sword into Lifeless Thorn's armpit.
This was Lifeless Thorn's greatest flaw.
"What?"
The attack and defense were as fast as a swan, causing a series of exclamations to ring out in the hall.
When they saw Lifeless Thorn's lightning-fast sword, they thought Linghu Chong would lose.
He did not expect that!
Linghu Chong's response was even more shocking than Lifeless Thorn's attack!
In that split second, not only had he dodged Lifeless Thorn's attack, but he had also launched a fierce counterattack.
This would undoubtedly be a wonderful confrontation, which surprised the swordsmen and raised their expectations for this battle to another level.
Some people who had thought that this battle would be a sure win couldn't help but look up.
"It seems that the battle between Feng Qingyang and Ximen Chuixue allowed Linghu Chong to comprehend a lot.”
On the white jade stage, Feng Chen's eyes lit up as he watched Linghu Chong's performance.
The current Feng Chen possessed both the War God Catalog and the Demonic Dao Caprice. His cultivation realm had already reached an extremely high level.
He could tell that Linghu Chong's sword arts had improved by leaps and bounds after the Sword Trial Assembly.
He had even vaguely touched the ultimate profundity of the Nine Beyond Swords.
He used his heart to comprehend the sword force, not his eyes to see it.
This was a realm that Feng Qingyang had not reached even after cultivating for decades.
From this point, it could be seen that Linghu Chong's talent in the sword path far surpassed Feng Qingyang's.
Feng Chen couldn't help but be interested in this challenge.
Perhaps Linghu Chong would really succeed.
Although the Sword God Ranking List produced by the system had absolute authority, there would also be situations where the challenge was successful.
This was because the Sword God Ranking List had been static from the time it was announced until the next update.
However, the strength of a swordsman was constantly changing.
For Linghu Chong to have such a sudden epiphany and improve his swordsmanship by leaps and bounds overnight was completely out of the system's consideration.
"Clangclang…"
While Feng Chen was thinking, the two shadows on the Sword-Testing Stage had already fought for more than a hundred rounds.
In the hall, everyone held their breath, not even daring to blink.
Because this battle was too intense.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides might have exchanged more than ten moves, and the victor might have already been determined.
"Swoosh!"
Finally, Lifeless Thorn seized the opportunity to stab at Linghu Chong's heart.
Before anyone could react, Linghu Chong's sword had arrived, sealing Lifeless Thorn's path.
This set of attack and defense was like flowing water, perfect to the extreme.
But to everyone's surprise, Lifeless Thorn didn't care and continued thrusting.
"Bang!"
A loud clang rang out as Linghu Chong's sword was sent flying.
Lifeless Thorn's sword was deflected by three inches and stabbed into Linghu Chong's ribs.
Large amounts of blood spurted out from the wound, spilling all over the stage.
" Sword God List challenge failed."
As a cold voice sounded, the two figures on the stage slowly disappeared.
The hall was silent.
No one had expected this outcome.
Although Lifeless Thorn's attack had been extremely powerful, Linghu Chong had been able to block it.
The only reason why his sword had been sent flying was because Lifeless Thorn's internal energy was stronger.
"Wonderful."
In the private room on the third floor, Shi Feixuan could not help but praise him.?
She saw it clearly.
Lifeless Thorn had already predicted that Linghu Chong would block his attack, so he had predicted the outcome.
The reason why he insisted on thrusting horizontally was because his inner qi was stronger than Linghu Chong's and he could use his strength to break through.
This was the adaptability of the Sword God ranked ninth on the Sword God ranking list, and Shi Feixuan was amazed.?
But this kind of deep game, ordinary martial artists definitely could not see through it.
"It's not fair! Ling Huchong had clearly blocked that sword.”
"That's right. This is the Sword God List, not the Expert List. Lifeless Thorn won with his internal energy.”
"If the two of them had the same internal strength, they would definitely be able to defend against this sword.”
"What's unfair about that? Internal strength is also a part of a swordsman. Who said that two people must have the same internal strength when fighting?”
"This can only mean that Lifeless Thorn is stronger. In terms of swordsmanship, I think Alliance Master Linghu is stronger.”
"What a joke. You only saw Lifeless Thorn win with his internal energy. Maybe Lifeless Thorn didn't even use his full swordsmanship.”
"That's right, that's right. If you can use internal strength to win, why should you use all your sword techniques?”
……
As expected, Lifeless Thorn's victory in such a controversial manner immediately attracted many questions.
The swordsmen who specialized in sword arts all felt indignant for Linghu Chong, believing that his sword arts were superior.
However, ordinary Jianghu tycoons believed that whether it was a sword or saber competition, internal strength was a part of it and could not be differentiated.
At the same time, there were also some who suggested that Lifeless Thorn might not have used his full strength.
Just as the three sides were arguing, the Sword-Testing Stage suddenly emitted a golden light.
" The challenge for the Sword God ranking list has been established."
" Challenger: Tenth on the Sword God ranking list, Feng Qingyang.”
" Challenger: Ninth on the Sword God List, Lifeless Thorn.”
"Both sides are ready. Please begin the battle.”
As the cold voice spread across the entire arena, two illusory figures appeared on the stage.
They were Lifeless Thorn and Feng Qingyang!
"Battle of the Sword Gods!"
The experts who were arguing in the hall immediately stopped and looked at the Sword-Testing Stage in surprise.
No one had expected that after Linghu Chong's defeat, Feng Qingyang would personally appear.
"Wonderful, too wonderful. I really didn't come here in vain today!”
"Senior Feng must be unhappy that Lifeless Thorn defeated Linghu Chong in such a despicable way.”
"I think we really have a chance in this battle. Senior Feng's qi isn't any weaker than Lifeless Thorn's.”
"That's right! From the battle just now, it was clear that Lifeless Thorn's swordsmanship had not been at an advantage.”
……
Everyone was discussing excitedly.
The two people on the Sword-Testing Stage had already crossed paths.
"Bang bang bang…"
Just as they exchanged blows, the two of them exchanged dozens of moves in a row, each of which was fatal.
The difference between Feng Qingyang and Linghu Chong was also seen by everyone.
The two of them used the same sword technique.
Feng Qingyang's prediction ability was not as good as Linghu Chong's and he was unable to predict the enemy's attack.
However, Feng Qingyang's internal strength was far superior to Linghu Chong's, and his sword light was as fast as lightning. He was more skilled than Linghu Chong in terms of offense and defense.
The two of them exchanged over a hundred moves and Feng Qingyang had already firmly gained the upper hand.
"Look! I told you, without qi, Lifeless Thorn can't win.”
"Senior Feng's swordplay clearly counters Lifeless Thorn's speed. I think I'll be able to win in another fifty moves.”
"Heavens! Could it be that Elder Feng really succeeded in his challenge?”
"He's here! He's here! Lifeless Thorn is completely suppressed!”
……
In the hall, everyone shouted excitedly.
Feng Qingyang's advantage was becoming more and more obvious, completely suppressing all of Lifeless Thorn's attacks. Victory was only a matter of time.
"We won!"
Seeing Feng Qingyang's unstoppable sword stabbing towards Lifeless Thorn's heart, everyone cheered.
Tsk!
Blood light shot into the sky!
A sharp sword pierced through Feng Qingyang's right rib and pierced through his body.
" Sword God List challenge failed."
A cold voice came from the void, and Feng Qingyang and Lifeless Thorn disappeared from the stage.
Everyone was stunned on the spot.
What happened?
Everyone's eyes were blank. They were celebrating Feng Qingyang's victory a moment ago, but Feng Qingyang was defeated in the next moment?
Moreover, he was defeated very abruptly.
It was so sudden that no one knew how he was struck.
It was as if Lifeless Thorn's sword had appeared in Feng Qingyang's body.
Strange!
It was too strange!
This was the battle between the Sword Gods. Every moment had countless changes.
"Tower Master Tianji, what exactly happened? How did Senior Feng lose?”
"Yeah, I didn't see it clearly at all. Shouldn't Senior Feng win?”
"Senior Feng has been occupying the upper position all this time, and Lifeless Thorn has no chance of fighting back. How could he possibly kill Senior Feng?”
……
Helpless, many of the rich men of the pugilistic world could only ask Feng Chen for help, begging him to answer their doubts.
"The martial world only knows that Lifeless Thorn's left hand is as fast as lightning. That's why he's known as the God of the Left Hand.”
"But very few people know that Lifeless Thorn's right-hand sword is faster than his left-hand sword.”
"So fast that all those who have seen the sword in his right hand will not live past tomorrow.”
Feng Chen smiled as he revealed Lifeless Thorn's ultimate secret.
"What?"
Everyone revealed an incredulous expression.
Lifeless Thorn's signature weapon, the left-handed sword that was famous for its spiciness and mysteriousness, was just a cover?
A cover to hide his faster and stronger right-handed sword!
One could imagine how many top-notch experts in the game had been killed by his right-handed sword due to carelessness.
This was undoubtedly a shocking secret!
Everyone who had seen Lifeless Thorn's right-handed sword had been killed by him.
On the white jade platform, Feng Chen suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He seemed to have exposed Lifeless Thorn's greatest secret.
