Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Dual Cultivation of Body and Magic

The word “battle” forging ahead without hesitation.

Caused many people present to tremble slightly in their hearts.

“Could it be that he truly has the confidence to challenge Senior Brother Hua?”

“Senior Brother Hua is a Core Formation Realm martial artist!”

“His strength is only below Xia Chaoge’s.”

“Does he think because he won against Wang Yunge and Li Shiqian unexpectedly, he has the qualification to challenge Senior Brother Hua?”

Yan Yuqing could no longer sit still.

She had already stood up, anxiously saying, “How could Uncle Master Jiang be a match for Senior Brother Hua?”

She didn’t know much about Wang Yunge and Li Shiqian.

But she was quite clear about Hua Xiangchen, whom she interacted with often.

Not only had he reached the First Layer of the Core Formation Realm, but he was also practicing a profound level, high-grade and exquisite swordsmanship.

She had heard that he planned to compete for the gold list.

To break into the top ten in one fell swoop.

Making the Supreme Sect the one to have two disciples in the top ten of the gold list.

Jiang Ruo’s body technique had already reached its limit against Li Shiqian.

How could he possibly be a match for Hua Xiangchen?

“Xiaoleng, quickly go to the Divine Doctor Peak and ask my master to leave seclusion.”

“I fear Senior Brother Hua might do Jiang Uncle Master harm.”

After much contemplation, the only solution was to ask the elder master to step in.

Cheng Xiaoleng understood the urgency of the situation, nodded, and hurried off to the Divine Doctor Peak.

Seeing Jiang Fan agree to the battle, the Supreme Sect Master and all the elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“This kid can make my pupil take action personally; he has earned his pride.”

The Supreme Sect Master took a sip of tea, his expression relaxed.

“Soon, his name will spread across the Nine-Sect Land.”

The elders also relaxed, chatting and laughing.

“He won’t last more than a few moves in Hua Xiangchen’s hands.”

“Although his body technique is strong, facing someone far stronger than himself, he can only defend, not attack.”

“With each passing moment, even the strongest physique cannot withstand continuous attacks.”

“Defeat is only a matter of time.”

…

Hua Xiangchen himself was watching Jiang Fan’s sword-gripping action, slightly frowning.

As someone who mastered swordsmanship as his main cultivation technique.

He could sense that Jiang Fan’s sword-gripping action was very adept.

Not treating it merely as an object.

“Do you also understand swordsmanship?” Hua Xiangchen asked.

Swordsmanship, isn’t it controllable only through cultivation techniques?

Jiang Fan responded calmly: “I know a little.”

“Can we start?”

Hua Xiangchen felt a sneer in his heart. Quite confident, aren’t you!

In such a hurry to be stepped on by me?

On his face, he remained calm: “We can start anytime!”

The referee saw this and nodded, stepping back from the stage.

With a shout of “Start.”

Hua Xiangchen decisively seized the initiative.

“Proud Moon Crossing the Sky!”

He executed a high-level profound swordsmanship move, supplemented by his Core Formation Realm cultivation.

How powerful was it?

Unmatchable by anyone below the Core Formation Realm.

Wang Yunge and Li Shiqian, standing below the stage, as peak Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouses.

Felt the intensity of this move, and a heavy feeling arose in their hearts momentarily.

Normally, Hua Xiangchen was gentle and polite.

But once he unleashed his full strength, it gave off a stormy oppressive feeling.

It made both feel a bit pressured.

Yan Yuqing’s heart leaped to her throat.

Hua Xiangchen struck with his full force right away.

With no hesitation, unlike the arrogant Wang Yunge.

It was clear that he intended to end the battle quickly with an overpowering force to defeat Jiang Fan.

The Supreme Sect Master nodded in satisfaction.

The elders praised continually.

The elder of Green Bamboo Peak also praised with a sense of comparison:

“After all, a true master trained by the sect master himself, setting aside strength.”

“He treats every opponent seriously and cautiously, giving his all.”

“Unlike my two proud disciples, whose carelessness brought them disgrace.”

The other elders criticized inwardly.

Understanding that the elder of Green Bamboo Peak was trying to save face for his two disciples.

Was their defeat due to carelessness?

Wasn’t it due to an absolute difference in strength?

Of course, they also appreciated that Hua Xiangchen used his full strength from the start.

Because the quicker Jiang Fan fell, the stronger Hua Xiangchen would appear, restoring the image of the Supreme Sect.

But just at that moment!

Jiang Fan also moved!

His wrist shook, and the long sword hummed.

The Spiritual Power of Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer at perfection gushed forth like a spring, infusing into the Black Sword.

“Splitting Light Sword!”

With a sweep of sword light, Sword Qi surged, transforming into a deafening Thunder Explosion!

Unprepared, Hua Xiangchen’s ears buzzed instantly.

The intense explosion’s shockwave even deflected his sword strike!

His expression changed, and he exclaimed: “You know swordsmanship? You have cultivation?”

The disciples on the stage were also taken aback.

“My goodness! He’s not purely a body refiner; he also cultivates realms!”

“And his realm isn’t low, at Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer perfection!”

“Moreover, his swordsmanship is superior, even better than Senior Brother Hua’s!”

Chai Yingrong was stunned.

“Yuqing, your uncle master practices dual cultivation of body and magic?”

Yan Yuqing was also dumbfounded.

Each time, Jiang Fan showed her a completely new side.

As if he were an endless abyss, possessing countless unexpected strengths.

The relaxed Supreme Sect Master and several elders all showed expressions of surprise.

“This… this kid practices dual cultivation of body and magic?”

“Moreover, both are extremely powerful!”

“He isn’t a disciple of the Giant Sect; the Giant Sect clumsily practices body techniques and doesn’t cultivate spells!”

“Quick, investigate who he really is?”

“Which sect can produce such a disciple!”

An invincible physique below Core Formation, Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer’s high-level cultivation, as well as a strongly powerful, probably Earth-level swordsmanship.

When did the Nine-Sect Land have such a disciple?

The external commotion fell on deaf ears for Jiang Fan.

Seizing the moment when Hua Xiangchen’s sword stab was deflected, his sword entangled and he struck again.

“Sunrise Over the Sea!”

Hua Xiangchen’s eyelids twitched and he wisely retreated, creating distance.

The next moment, an even more explosive thunderous sound nearly burst beside his ear.

It made his eardrums ache.

If he had been a bit closer, would it have burst his eardrums?

He thought, feeling both shame and rage, that as the grand senior disciple of the Supreme Sect, he had been forced back by someone without a Spirit Root.

He could no longer hold back!

“Eagle Strike the Sky!”

Jiang Fan was fearless and met him head-on.

“Heaven and Earth Star Fall!”

Both displayed their most powerful swordsmanship, clashing on the stage.

One held an overwhelming cultivation advantage, while the other had a superior swordsmanship!

In a few short moments, they exchanged a dozen strikes, without a clear winner!

However.

As Jiang Fan’s Spiritual Power continued to deplete, the disadvantage of his lower cultivation began to show.

The power of his swordsmanship gradually diminished.

After a hundred moves.

Hua Xiangchen seized the moment when Jiang Fan’s swordsmanship weakened, striking Jiang Fan’s sword directly.

His tiger’s mouth burned with instant pain.

Jiang Fan, not one to back down, activated the Phoenix Blood Treasure Body in an instant.

With his formidable strength, he resisted stubbornly.

The result was both their swords were knocked out of their hands, falling to opposite sides of the stage.

This outcome left everyone dumbfounded.

The grand senior disciple of the Supreme Sect, surprisingly matched in swordsmanship?

Hua Xiangchen also lost focus for a moment, then stared fixedly at Jiang Fan.

At this moment, any thought of a swift battle was gone?

All he wanted was to win against Jiang Fan!

Realizing Jiang Fan’s difficulty, he took a deep breath, his gaze sharpening.

“I intended to keep this as a trump card until challenging the gold list.”

“Now, I have no choice but to use it!”

He formed his hands into palm shapes, assuming a Palm Technique stance.

“In fact, my strongest isn’t swordsmanship!”

“Swordsmanship is merely a facade for others!”

“My true forte is Palm Technique!”

“Being able to force me to use my real skills, you are honored in your defeat!”

Thinking that Jiang Fan, who had lost his sword, would fear his ultimate skill.

To his surprise.

Jiang Fan smiled calmly:

“What a coincidence, me too!”

In Hua Xiangchen’s shrinking pupils.

Jiang Fan also assumed a Palm Technique stance!
