Sword Spirit-Chapter 155: Breaks Flow One Sword

Chapter 155: Breaks Flow One Sword (TN: Same characters as CH 112 except reversed order)

Lin Tian charged forward again. Lu Xuan blocked again. It had almost become a routine. This kind of back and forth pattern lasted for two sticks of incense.

But this time, facing Lin Tian’s extremely quick attacks, Lu Xuan didn’t hurry to make his move. He squinted his eyes, tightly staring at long sword in Lin Tian’s hands. Both sides suddenly shortened the distance between each other.

Watching as Lin Tian’s attacks was about to hit Lu Xuan, the multitude of disciples gasped aloud!

“Haha, Lu Xuan finally can’t hold on! It seems like the winner of this bet is us!” A few disciples that were supporting Lin Tian happily exclaimed.

Seeing that Lu Xuan seemed to be unable to block any more, most people took it to be a natural Lu Xuan wouldn’t be able to continue enduring. With body refining sixth level large success, to be able endure for so long against a peak body refining seventh level without revealing any weak points was already plenty impressive. If that went on, it would really be too heaven-defying.

The disciples weren’t the only ones thinking like that. The three great elders on the stage subconsciously stood up. They were assuming the same thing. Their visions were solemn. If Lin Tian couldn’t stay his hand, they were preparing to jump in and save.

These things all happened in an instant. Just as this quick attack was happening, just as the people thought it was going to be all over, they heard Lu Xuan give off a low roar. Lu Xuan who hadn’t been moving up until now once again exploded out!

The yuan force that Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic gathered unreservedly into the Xuan Iron Sword. Yuan force wildly pushed, and in a moment, a layer of gang qi suddenly appeared on the sword’s body. The air’s resistance was cut apart and the heavy Xuan Iron Sword, in Lu Xuan’s hands, was as light as paper and came swinging quickly!

After Lu Xuan wielded the Xuan Iron Sword, the huge sword body, immediately turned into a black shadow, bringing unparalleled power and force, unreservedly going counter to Lin Tian!

This sword stroke was extremely fast! Extremely strong! Extremely fierce!

It was Breaks Flow One Sword!

(TN: As mentioned in title, I do believe this is referring to the move from Ch 112.)

In the Five Elements Cave, that over ten zhang huge waterfall could be cut in half by this sword stroke, much less facing the Savage Wave Sword Tactic that Lin Tian released.

This moment, Lu Xuan was no longer that piece of reef in the tides but had changed into a huge boat that was riding the wind and breaking the waves. No matter how fierce or how fast a wave you are, then I’ll slice through it with a single sword!

When Lu Xuan used One Sword Breaks Flow, the Xuan Iron Sword hadn’t been enchanted yet. Now that it had the addition of the Astral Rune, not only had it greatly increased the power that could be released by the Xuan Iron Sword, it had also attached a layer of gang qi to it, helping it break apart air resistance. Its strength had increased by 30%.

(TN: Author reverts to Ch 112 syntax)

Feeling the ferocity of Lu Xuan’s sword, the attacking Lin Tian was greatly shocked!

For the Savage Wave Sword Tactic, one move was stronger than the last, but there was still a limit. With his current attack, it completely wasn’t Lu Xuan’s Breaks Flow One Sword’s opponent. Also, he had faintly felt that Lu Xuan’s sword had a natural restraining usage on his Savage Wave Sword Tactic, as if it was for made to interrupt his Savage Wave Sword Tactic.

(TN: Back to the other syntax)

He wanted to stop, but it was beyond his control. The Savage Wave Sword Tactic was one wave after another. The previous wave would naturally have another wave following it. Was it something that could just simply stop?

“My life’s over!” Unable to prevent his body from heading forward, Lin Tian couldn’t help but have this thought appear in his mind.

If he was hit by Lu Xuan, most likely would it not only instantly break his Savage Wave Sword Tactic, the remaining force would carry onto his body. Such powerful force was enough to shatter his vital organs to pieces.

The sudden reversal in the match was something no one expected. Seeing that Lu Xuan seemed to almost be unable to block and Lin Tian was about to grasp victory, who would have thought Lu Xuan actually was storing power, suddenly exploding out with such a powerful attack!

An attack of this degree, if they hadn’t personally witnessed it, it’d be hard for them to believe that the person who released this attack was actually only body refining sixth level.

Cheng Wang who had been watching the changes in the battle had an even more surprised expression: “Lin Tian’s in danger! The strength of Lu Xuan’s sword stroke seems like it’s comparable to my strongest attack! And in terms of qi aura, I’d even be less than him! It’s simply unbelievable!”

Cheng Wang was the axe and hammer faction’s number one person. Axe and hammer weapons focused on the words force and momentum, using momentum to pressure people and force to break their enemy, but Cheng Wang currently actually admitted that his strongest attack was worse than this sword stroke of Lu Xuan’s. It could be imagined how strong this Breaks Flow One Sword was.

Mo Xiao Chen didn’t say anything, only closely watched the two in the match. Lu Xuan was much stronger than he had thought. Without even needing to use the quick sword, he was able to destroy Lin Tian’s sword skill set. Even in the case of not using sword intent, he still could release such a powerful and big attack. If he had mobilized sword intent, what step would it have reached?

As for the three elders in the referee seats, their faces had even more drastic change!

Just now they had stood up preparing to save Lu Xuan at any time in case Lin Tian couldn’t pull back in time and injured Lu Xuan with his Savage Wave Sword Tactic.They hadn’t thought that the situation would change so quickly. Their target to save had suddenly changed from Lu Xuan to Lin Tian, however, Lu Xuan’s move was too fierce, too fast. They weren’t sure they would make it in time.

“This is bad, it’s going to be bad!” Saying this, Elder Cheng already left and directly flew towards the field.

Elder Lin and Elder Xu followed tightly behind without saying anything, especially Elder Lin. His face flashed with an anxious expression for his beloved grandson. He wished he could make it in time to help Lin Tian block Lu Xuan’s attack.

Although the three elders urgently flew over, Lu Xuan and Lin Tian’s fighting competition was so fast. Each attack was a matter of instances. How could they catch up?

Seeing that Lin Tian was about to receive Lu Xuan’s heavy attack, which could range crippling to death, the disciples below the stage were all stupefied. For a time, they actually forgot about their bets. Some of the less brave disciples turned their heads away, not wanting to see Lin Tian’s miserable passing away.

Lin Tian already closed his eyes, Elder Cheng was saddened, and Elder Lin’s eyes contained despair. Everyone had already accepted that fate.

But just in an instant, Lu Xuan gave off an angry roar and his voice spread over the entire field, as if he was exerting all of his body’s strength!

Everyone’s eyes once again gathered onto him.

Accompanying the angry roar, the fully mobilized yuan force was forcefully taken back by Lu Xuan. Rushing Thunder Flash circulated!

The crowd only saw a flash before their eyes and then they heard a loud bang. The sound just now was the sound of the huge stage suddenly having a large hole smashed into it.

Currently, the movement of the two people on the stage finally came to a halt. As the dust settled, everyone one took a closer look. They discovered, that at some unknown time, Lu Xuan had already come close to that hole. His chest was heaving as he constantly took deep breaths. As for the Xuan Iron Sword in his hand, it was placed on the top of that hole. Without a doubt, that loud sound just now, and the large hole in front of their eyes, were both caused by Lu Xuan.

As for Lin Tian, he was still maintaining his sword-wielding posture, blankly standing in his original spot. His eyes were a bit lifeless, as if he had gone dumb. Evidently he hadn’t recovered from the scene just now.

The three great elders now finally arrived, landing by Lin Tian in no particular order. They lightly landed on the ground. The danger had passed. They didn’t have to make a move.

Once he felt the three people had come, Lin Tian recovered. Closing his eyes with effort and then opening them again, he took a long breath. He had only just discovered that he was still alive, and also, he didn’t have any injuries. This kind of escaping with life in the midst of death feeling was entirely impossible for someone inexperienced to understand. That time when despair turns into hope was simply one of the most beautiful moments in a person’s life.

Seeing that Lin Tian was okay, the three great elders simultaneously let out breaths of relief. The large rock in their heart fell to the ground, but quickly after, the three’s worry once again increased. Was Lu Xuan okay?

Leaving Elder Lin to take care of Lin Tian, Elder Cheng and Elder Xu both quickly arrived by Lu Xuan’s side. Each reached out to help support Lu Xuan. Elder Xu asked in concern: “Lu Xuan, are you okay?”

Gasping for a few breaths, Lu Xuan calmed down the disorderly yuan force. His squeezed out a bit of a smile: “No problem. Only overexerted myself a bit. A bit of rest and it’ll be fine.”

Receiving Lu Xuan’s response, Elder Cheng and Elder Xu then truly relaxed. To them, both of them being fine was naturally the best result.

But thinking back to Lu Xuan’s movements just now, the two still couldn’t help but be a bit amazed. They really had no way of imagining that Lu Xuan could do something like this with body refining sixth level strength. What was even harder was that he had not only done that, he hadn’t suffered any injury himself, only a bit overexerted.

Just now in that critical moment, Lu Xuan had forcefully taken back the yuan force, immediately strained out a Rushing Thunder Flash, bringing both man and sword away from Lin Tian in a moment, avoiding harming Lin Tian. Although it seemed simple, the danger and difficulty were far more than a few sentences could clearly say.

Although Rushing Thunder Flash was strong, it wasn’t all-powerful. If it had only taken Lu Xuan and Xuan Iron Sword flash away, naturally there wouldn’t be any pressure, but in the case just now, Lu Xuan had released an incredibly powerful sword stroke. Wanting to successfully use Rushing Thunder Flash would not only need to bring his person away, it also needed to flash away with the power that he had released. Thus, it could be said that Lu Xuan just now had forcefully reversed his power and had brought that unparalleled force along with him.

Breaks Flow One Sword’s might was so strong, the strongest Savage Wave Sword Tactic that Lin Tian unleashed wasn’t it’s opponent, but in order to not injure Lin Tian, Lu Xuan didn’t have a choice. In that moment, the burden placed on his body using Rushing Thunder Flash, the difficulty could hardly be imagined.

It was exactly because of this difficulty and pressure, Elder Xu and Elder Cheng were so amazed. This needed such a good body foundation in order to be able to withstand such a strong burden.

Even a body refining eighth level or even a ninth level wouldn’t necessarily be able to do it, but Lu Xuan had done it with a body refining sixth level body. All of this was naturally thanks to the Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic. Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic’s quenching of the body was throughout the entire body, without missing any of it, thus, Lu Xuan’s every stage of body refining would have almost perfect breakthroughs. This led to his body’s incomparably solid foundation.

Either way, Lu Xuan, in this fight with Lin Tian, had already completely refreshed the three great elders evaluation of Lu Xuan. The sword faction had Lu Xuan, how could it not rise!
