Despite everyone having a high estimation of Lufan, they were still shocked by his sudden attack.
When he was still, he was like a dormant volcano, but when he moved, it was like thunder. Lufan first intentionally allowed the Nine Armored Guards to surround him, then suddenly unleashed a unique oppressive aura that made them hesitant to attack. He then used a stirring speech to rally their spirits, elevating his momentum to its peak and suppressing the Nine Armored Guards in one fell swoop!
Under Lufan's overwhelming presence, the Ironclad Guardians were greatly affected in both combat power and fighting spirit, almost reduced by several points compared to usual.
Following this, the sword strike that Lufan had been charging up was no ordinary Sword Technique; it was a breathtaking Sword Technique recorded in the Tai Xuan Jing, known as Ten Steps, One Kill!
This Sword Technique had few moves, but it emphasized speed above all else—unbelievably fast, striking down everything in the blink of an eye!
To achieve the fastest attack speed, Ten Steps, One Kill included a secret method that could greatly stimulate the body, generating immense explosive power in an instant. This allowed the practitioner to achieve speeds far beyond normal, enabling them to kill everything within ten steps.
However, this secret method placed a tremendous burden on the body. Even with Lufan's True Blood transformation, he could only use it once at most; its duration lasted only a few breaths. Prolonged use would harm the body and deplete potential.
Thus, after executing Ten Steps, One Kill, Lufan swiftly struck down the Nine Armored Guards within a breath. With the effect of Ten Steps, One Kill still active and without pausing, he tore through the air and appeared before Li Zheng in an instant, delivering a lethal strike!
This sword strike was filled with murderous intent. His rapid movement combined with the ferocity of striking down nine opponents made Lufan appear as if a god of death had descended upon the world, ready to slay Li Zheng at any moment!
At this moment, Li Zheng wore an expression of disbelief on his face, seemingly still immersed in the shock of Lufan's ability to slay nine with one strike. He was completely unprepared for this incoming attack.
Would it really end like this? As everyone thought Li Zheng was about to be slain by a single sword strike, he suddenly grinned with an eerie expression.
Did you think I had no preparations at all? Kid, you're still too naive! In an instant, Lufan understood the meaning behind Li Zheng's smile.
Faced with Lufan's incredibly fierce sword strike, Li Zheng finally moved. He showed no intention of dodging; instead, he reached out with his left hand and directly grabbed at the sword blade that was aimed at his face!
What! How could he dare to catch a razor-sharp sword with his bare flesh? Is Li Zheng insane? The crowd gasped in shock.
Only Lufan noticed a faint jade-colored glow on Li Zheng's palm in an instant. With a thought, he adjusted the sword's trajectory, and in the blink of an eye, it veered away from Li Zheng's hand. Under everyone's gaze, the sword that was originally aimed at his head ultimately landed on Li Zheng's chest!
Bang!
However, the scene of a sword piercing through the heart that people imagined did not occur. Instead, Lufan's strike seemed to hit a wall of bronze and iron. Aside from stirring up countless air currents and tearing through clothing, it only caused Li Zheng to step back half a pace!
Swish!
With one failed strike, Lufan immediately withdrew, retreating ten feet away in an instant, standing with his sword drawn and a serious expression.
Li Zheng did not attempt to stop Lufan's retreat. In fact, he had no way to counter Lufan's rapid movements and could only stand there, looking at him mockingly.
"Is this really your strongest sword? It's nothing special."
From Lufan's sudden outburst to his unsuccessful attempt to kill Li Zheng, everything happened in the blink of an eye. While people were certainly shocked by Lufan's Sword Technique, what puzzled them even more was how Li Zheng could withstand such a strike without any injury.
Only now did they notice that beneath Li Zheng's outer garment, he wore a golden inner armor. It was this inner armor that had blocked Lufan's strike; despite the sharpness of the Azure Mantis Sword, it had left not a single scratch on it!
"This is..." The Fourth Prince's eyes suddenly narrowed. "The Heavenly Silkworm Armor made from top-grade silkworm silk!"
Hearing the exclamation from the Fourth Prince, everyone suddenly realized, and their gazes towards Li Zheng became fervent, including that of the Fourth Prince himself.
The Heavenly Silkworm Armor is a soft armor woven from the silk produced by a rare Primordial Beast known as the Heavenly Silkworm. It is crafted using special techniques, making it impervious to water and fire, and resistant to blades and swords, ranking among the best battle armors.
However, the Heavenly Silkworm is hard to come by, and its silk is produced slowly. Creating armor from this silk is extremely challenging, resulting in very few existing pieces of Heavenly Silkworm Armor, each worth a fortune.
Moreover, Li Zheng's Heavenly Silkworm Armor is golden, indicating that it is made from the silk of the silkworm king among the Heavenly Silkworms. Its defensive power is ten times stronger than that of ordinary Heavenly Silkworm Armor, making it even more precious.
No wonder Lufan's sword wound not only him; with such armor in place, no matter how skilled Lufan's swordsmanship is, it would be completely countered. Just this fact puts Li Zheng in an almost invincible position.
With such a treasure right before them, everyone's eyes burned with desire. At this moment, even the Fourth Prince couldn't help but feel a desire to seize it since he did not possess armor of this caliber.
"Hmph!"
Li Zheng paid no mind to the covetous gazes; even the Fourth Prince was not worth his attention. He had already discerned that while the Fourth Prince was quite capable, he was merely a flower in a greenhouse—nothing to worry about.
What he truly feared was Lufan.
Despite appearing relaxed now, he felt a twinge of fear. Lufan's previous strike was incredibly swift; although he had some reliance on his defenses, if it weren't for the Ironclad Guardians intervening momentarily, he might have truly been pierced through the head by that sword.
Yet even though he escaped this calamity, the deaths of the Top Ten Ironclad Guards still caused Li Zheng immense pain. With these Top Ten Ironclad Guards gone, his control over Qingyang City would be reduced by at least half—how could he not feel heartache?
What infuriated him even more was that this exquisite Heavenly Silkworm Armor was one of his greatest trump cards and had been forced out by Lufan's sword strike, attracting countless covetous eyes. Although he wasn't afraid ultimately, it was still a troublesome situation.
Not far away, Lufan remained silent. The fact that he couldn't kill Li Zheng with a single sword strike didn't surprise him too much; after all, Li Hao had a piece of soft armor that could withstand the Azure Mantis Sword, so it was reasonable to assume that Li Zheng would have something similar.
However, this meant that his plan to eliminate the Lord's Manor solely with Sword Technique was likely to fail. Still, he needed to try it out first.
Seeing Lufan maintain his calm demeanor, Li Zheng felt particularly irritated. He shouted, "If that's all the strength you have, then die! You slaughtered my Guard; killing you means even the one behind you can't say anything against me!"
With that, Li Zheng took a pair of giant hammers from his subordinates and stepped toward Lufan. With each step, he left a clear footprint on the ground, and during this process, a strange sound emanated from his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Crash! Crash! Crash!
It sounded like bowstrings snapping, mixed with the crisp sounds reminiscent of shuffling Mahjong tiles, continuously resonating from within Li Zheng. At the same time, everyone felt an immense surge of vitality and blood power flowing within him, like a mighty river rushing forward endlessly!
On the other side, even though Slim Elder had always remained calm despite witnessing Lufan's talent, he finally changed color: "Resonance of Muscles and Bones! This is the most perfect state of the Refining Membrane Realm!"
At this moment, as Li Zheng approached Lufan within ten feet and displayed all his strength, he appeared even more robust due to his already imposing stature. Coupled with the giant hammers in his hands, he looked incredibly domineering.
"You killed my Hao'er, slaughtered my Guard, and injured my Ran'er. Now I will show you why I have dominated Qingyang City for over twenty years! I will smash you into meat paste!"
Li Zheng's expression was ferocious as he flipped his right hand and swung it toward Lufan with a whoosh!
A fierce wind suddenly arose!
