Dugu Nine Swords is different from ordinary sword techniques; it emphasizes intention over technique, focusing on striking first and exploiting the enemy's weaknesses. 0
 
As the unique Secret Technique of the Sword Demon Dugu, Dugu Nine Swords embodies the essence of his lifelong swordsmanship and reflects his attitude toward combat: to always attack, attack, and attack! 0
 
Being the Sword Demon, his swordsmanship inherently possesses a certain demonic quality. Therefore, to unleash the true power of Dugu Nine Swords, one must enter a state of complete abandonment of defense, solely pursuing offense without retreat. 0
 
Previously, Lufan's fighting style leaned towards a more calculated approach, lacking that frenzied mindset. Thus, he was only at a preliminary level of proficiency with Dugu Nine Swords, far from reaching the stage of true sword intent. 0
 
Now, in a situation where retreat was impossible, he finally cast aside all distractions and prepared for a desperate fight. This mindset perfectly aligned with the state required to execute Dugu Nine Swords. 0
 
After shedding all distractions and concentrating his energy, Lufan closed his eyes slightly, quietly waiting for the moment the door would open. 0
 
Clang! 0
 
When the door was pushed open by Li Hao, it was as if a dam had burst on a calm lake; a torrent of white sword light surged forth with an overwhelming killing intent, akin to a mountain flood rushing towards him! 0
 
Startled, Li Hao could only manage to conjure a thin wall of energy in front of him before he could do nothing else. 0
 
Bang! 0
 
Indeed, Lufan was correct; Li Hao's reflexes were not strong enough compared to those of the Black-hearted Tiger. This caused him to be unable to evade in time as Lufan sliced through the energy wall from below and struck at his heart! 0
 
The tremendous force exploded against Li Hao's chest, tearing his clothes apart and sending him flying backward, crashing through the railing of the corridor and into the air! 0
 
Having successfully landed a strike, Lufan's eyes suddenly narrowed as he sensed something blocking his sword strike against Li Hao. 0
 
 
He immediately noticed a glimmer of darkness beneath Li Hao's clothing and guessed that he was likely wearing a precious soft armor capable of withstanding the sharpness of the Azure Mantis Sword, which was confirmed by Li Hao's proud smile. 0
 
As various thoughts flashed through Lufan's mind, his body reacted instinctively. He sheathed the Azure Mantis Sword, stepped down forcefully, and with an explosive burst of strength, shattered the wooden floor beneath him. He shot forward like an arrow, catching up to Li Hao in mid-air! 0
 
Li Hao, who had thought he had escaped danger and was wearing a smug expression, suddenly froze, his face turning to one of terror. 0
 
Lufan's previous strike had already left him reeling, his blood surging and his body weak. Now, even with numerous secret techniques at his disposal, he could only cross his arms to protect his head. 0
 
Bang! 0
 
Once again, the same move; the same starting stance; the same white sword light burst forth from the sheath and struck Li Hao in the chest! 0
 
The others had long noticed the commotion in mid-air. Amidst gasps of astonishment, they watched as Lufan brought Li Hao crashing down from the sky, smashing into a wooden house. 0
 
But it wasn't over yet. In mid-air, Lufan sheathed his sword again and landed with a swift step in front of the now unsteady Li Hao. In response to Li Hao's anguished gaze, he struck out with his sword. 0
 
Li Hao's body flew back once more like a cannonball, crashing through the house behind him! 0
 
Slash! Slash! Slash! 0
 
Just like that, every time Lufan sent Li Hao flying with a strike, he would immediately unleash his speed again. As soon as Li Hao's body came to a halt, Lufan would strike once more to send him flying. 0
 
All the robbers were dumbfounded, watching helplessly as their immensely powerful Eldest Son was overwhelmed by a swordsman wearing a strange mask. With a single sword-drawing technique, he was sent from the Little Tianxin Pavilion all the way to the western cave wall, leaving his fate uncertain. 0
 
Wherever they passed, neither houses nor walls could withstand them; the buildings in the west were literally smashed through! 0
 
 
The so-called first move determines the outcome; originally, Li Hao's strength was much greater than Lufan's. However, Lufan seized a fleeting opportunity and, with a series of explosive sword strikes, rendered Li Hao completely defenseless. 0
 
This illustrates that battles are inherently full of variables. It is not always the stronger fighter who wins; in life-and-death struggles, the one who first seizes an advantage may be able to defeat their opponent decisively. 0
 
Li Hao was certainly frustrated. As soon as the masked man unleashed his murderous intent, he recognized him as the kid he had been pursuing. He never expected that the other party would not meet his demise but instead infiltrate his own stronghold. 0
 
What infuriated him even more was that despite being stronger than this kid, he was now in such a dire situation. If it weren't for the black gold soft armor that his father had painstakingly acquired at great cost, he might have already died multiple times. 0
 
In desperation, he had no choice but to call for help from Little Tianxin Pavilion. 0
 
"Fairy, save me!" 0
 
At Little Tianxin Pavilion's seventh floor, Man Luo Fairy and her companions were watching this scene unfold from the edge. 0
 
Behind them lay more than ten robbers sprawled on the ground, some of whom had already lost their lives. 0
 
It turned out that some of these individuals had consumed the poisoned wine that Lufan had tampered with, and they were now experiencing the effects of the poison. 0
 
After the explosion occurred, Li Hao hurriedly left, while several leaders were preparing to capture their enemy. However, nearly half of them realized they had been poisoned, and the toxicity was severe; those with weaker cultivation levels did not last long before succumbing to it. 0
 
Before they could locate their enemy, so many of their own had already fallen, leaving everyone present in a state of panic and uncertainty. 0
 
In contrast, Man Luo Fairy and her companions remained composed. 0
 
Given their status and experience, they had seen far greater spectacles than this minor disruption and were not moved in the slightest by the unfolding events. 0
 
 
When Li Hao was knocked away by a sword strike, all three of them showed a hint of surprise. 0
 
"Interesting. I thought he was just a bold little thief, but it turns out he has some skill," said Fairy Manluo as she moved to the edge of the terrace, followed by the other two. 0
 
If Lufan had heard this, he would have been greatly shocked. It seemed that from the very beginning, the three had already known of his existence, and his previously invincible Turtle Breathing Divine Skill seemed to have lost its effect. 0
 
"This sword technique is quite good. For a mere First Rank Martial Cultivator to wield it to this extent is impressive," Fairy Manluo praised. 0
 
"Are we not going to save that kid? Otherwise, he will die," Crazy Diamond suddenly said. 0
 
At that moment, Li Hao's cries for help echoed through the air. 0
 
"Let’s save him. After all, we are guests here; we can't just watch the host die. Li Hao still has some use," Fairy Manluo sighed and said somewhat disinterestedly. 0
 
Then she added, "Bring me that masked person. Remember not to kill him." 0
 
"Understood!" 0
 
After giving the order, Crazy Diamond's calm demeanor suddenly erupted with an overwhelming aura. His already massive body swelled even larger, resembling an enraged golden statue as he leaped directly down from the seventh floor of the Little Tianxin Pavilion! 0
 
At the same time, he shouted, "Kid, stop right there!" 0
