Protect Our Clan Leader

Below the stage, the disciples of the Changchun Valley lineage were all stunned.

It’s not that there were no disciples from the Changchun Valley lineage who practiced swordsmanship, but their main cultivation technique, the “Longevity Youth True Verses”, had a weak enhancement to attacks. Their swordsmanship was only a supplement and they would not delve too deeply into it.

A practitioner like Wang Shouzhe who earnestly practiced swordsmanship and showed such fierceness was indeed rare. Some younger disciples had never even seen it before.

However, Muyuanbai was after all a strong practitioner at the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm. Even though Wang Shouzhe’s sword energy was sharp, it was difficult to hurt him within a single blow.

His figure flickered and he drifted away as light as a falling leaf, just barely avoiding the sword energy.

The sword energy passed by his body and landed on the stage.

“Rip!”

The sword energy sliced the surface of the stage as easily as a knife through butter, instantly leaving a long crevice on the stone stage.

Such power made Muyuanbai involuntarily gasp.

“Protective Body Xuan Gang!”

He dared not slack for a moment and immediately used the secret technique of his sect.

A rich mysterious energy burst from his body, making his clothes billow, sleeves flying.

An energy of milky white color began to condense and formed a physical layer of Protective Body Xuan Gang around him, as if he was clad in an energy armor.

In terms of solely defensive power, this “Xuan Gang” was inferior to the Spirit Shield, and it also lacks the feature of constant regeneration.

But it’s more close-fitting and flexible, and it’s more conducive to the use of mysterious techniques and movement techniques.

Having the Xuan Gang Protective Body, Muyuanbai’s heart was much steadier, he immediately started to dodge about and duel with Wang Shouzhe.

His movement technique was very elegant, with a sense of light rhythm.

Every step he took was like stepping on a space node, causing ripples in the air. From a distance, his figure was elusive and fluttery as if he were an exiled immortal.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

His spirit sword “Cicada Chirp” moved back and forth in the air like a swimming fish, like a snake waiting for an opportunity. Once the chance arose, it quickly attacked, launching attacks on Wang Shouzhe.

His timing was just right, once he moved, it would definitely hit a vital point. If it weren’t for the top-grade Spiritual Artifact “Heart Guard Shield”, Wang Shouzhe would likely have been injured by now.

Amidst the blasting fight energy, the sound of iron striking iron echoed incessantly.

“Excellent!”

The disciples from Leisure Peak could not help cheering.

“Brother Muyuanbai’s ‘Flying Cloud Step’ has reached the peak of perfection, elegant as a free-roaming celestial.”

“Brother’s Protective Body Xuan Gang is thick and solid, ordinary attacks can hardly break its defense.”

“Although Luo Qiu’s brother has a superior Spiritual Artifact, he is just a Level One Spirit Platform Realm practitioner after all. He might lose if this continuous battle carries on.”

Disciples from Leisure Peak were discussing fervently, all admired the prowess that Muyuanbai demonstrated.

However, obviously, not all disciples think so.

Among the disciples of Changchun Valley, senior brother Jinshan was commenting on the performances of the two duelists: “I am very familiar with junior brother Yuanbai’s ‘Cicada Chirp’, it usually confuses opponents with sounds then launches sudden attacks from tricky angles.”

“Junior brother Shouzhe’s Spirit Shield has a very high defensive capability, which can easily block attacks from most angles.”

“Everyone, look carefully. Junior brother Shouzhe has a very solid foundation, obviously from hard work and training. His attacks are well-measured, calm, and totally in control of the fight rhythm. He doesn’t use his sword energy frivolously, clearly gathering his strength for a decisive strike which leaves junior brother Yuanbai always in danger.”

“Everyone watch, isn’t junior brother Yuanbai’s ‘Flying Cloud Step’ dare not stop? If he stops, he will inevitably be attacked by the sword energy. One can only wonder how many times his Protective Body Xuan Gang could withstand such an attack …”

Senior brother Jinshan’s analysis was rational and convincing.

The disciples of Changchun Valley were all excited, and they started cheering for Wang Shouzhe eagerly.

“Senior Brother Jinshan, so according to you, our Senior Luo’s brother will certainly win?” Liu Yunlong asked with concern nearby.

“That’s not necessarily the case.” Senior Brother Jinshan replied honestly, “After all, that Muyuanbai is not a pushover. It’s a fifty-fifty chance which depends on who can seize the opportunity.”

Although Senior Brother Jinshan’s offensive skill was somewhat lacking, his experience in dueling was quite abundant. His observation and judgement of the situation were rather unique.

Under the intense gaze of the crowd beneath the stage, a quarter of an hour flew by unnoticed.

Muyuanbai was increasingly nervous and anxious as the time passed.

He hadn’t expected the sister Luo Qiu’s brother to be this tough. No matter whether it was his cultivation base of mysterious energy or his martial techniques, swordsmanship were all solid and upright. Coupled with his supreme defensive Spiritual Shield, any angle of attack from “Cicada Chirp” would easily be blocked.

This made the opponent like a fortress, without any flaws and impossible to conquer.

“Brother Yuanbai, if you don’t have any powerful moves. I’m afraid I’m going to wear you out to death.” Then, Wang Shouzhe’s calm voice sounded, “Although your mysterious energy is thicker than mine, don’t forget, I have Wood Bloodline, and I cultivate ‘Longevity Youth True Verses’, the main feature of which is endurance and constant regeneration.”
